Common issue on m
Laptops lint accumulates on heat sink which blocks airways for computer to breath and cool down, but instead it suffocate and shuts fornication to protect itself from further damage.
Like oil change in cars, anybody is capable of doing but they rather pay someone like me to do the dirty work, which I have no problem doing while getting paid.
Customer claims video just went away. Laptop's charging light come on when plugged in, and it TRIES to start, but it just loops on/off.
As nasty as it is, can't complaint, this is a dirty as its gonna get.
Little alcohol and heat do wonders......put back together...voila!!!!
Customer claims water damaged. Pluged it in, and it lit up. But when power button is pressed nothing happens. You can tell which water came by looking at photo.
Turns out, keyboard is bad, had another laying around and its all good now.
This laptop wasn't working because the battery was dead,but when plugging in the charger into the jack, light start flickering as you move it. But it wouldn't charge the laptop.
Smell like powerjack issue to me, so I cracked it open. Looked at the power jack and found a broken leg....replaced and voila!!!
Ps: I could've resolder the joints and make it work but it'll break again eventually, and I like happy customers..
Came in dead, even tho the powerjAck lit(BLUE), the battery light never came on.
Of course I had to go deeper and took it apart,at first, a shorted mosfet fooled me, telling me it was closed both ways. I replaced but still same issue, no power. Then I flip the board to inspect the other side and found a burned cap..replaced it and it started right up...good feeling.
This is gonna be a long shot but why not? Rite. Customer claims water damage, who knows mayhem I can bring it back 2 life.
Battery light on.
Turns on!!! but guess what!? Beeps like hell, continuously. And video goes off.
Actually its beeps loud until you press the power button then it GOES
Into Windows, but once it loads up, lcd starts flickering, and Windows POP up as if you were clicking them.
This is is going bizzerk!! Hopefully is all cause of the water damage
Crazy me..halfway through taking apart I realized I haven't check memory....well, replaced it and it Works!! No beeps, no flickering.
Moral of story: don't go by what customers say. This turned out to be a memory issue. Not water damage as claimed by customer.
Update: even tho the beeping noise was fixed by swapping memory, IT'S still acting up, clicking stuff on its own and whatnot.
**update: customer came back with unit acting up, replaced keyboard and its running smooth now, keyboard seemed damaged by liquid.
Customer brought it in with no video, it turned on, green light came on but the fan didn't run at all.
Cracked the case, took it apart piece by piece, and found that the cable connect from the mb to the usb/phone jack was shorting out.
It's all cool and breezy now...
Sorry for lack of photos, I forget.
Came in with a short circuit on power jack when plugging
Daaaaamn. Got a bank on this board.lol.. 1 hr and no advance. Gave up on this one..why I gave up? It had previously been worked on and too many limits with the tools I have. This looks like a reballing job. Even my soldering tip is broken.. in bout to strike up in this piece!!. :( sad lol.
Did the unthinkable but look at the blob of solder on that chip.
1.dv6000....bad keyboard(replaced)
2.dc6000(heavy virus).... dvd drive issue,not recognized and screen goes blank when drive inserted....pin bent, fixed.
3.machines e725(virus)...won't play dvds. Virus on several accounts.fixed, but couldn't do anything about the security center not wanting to start. Costumer needed ASAP.
4.Toshiba satellite...unable to uninstall cricket software..virus as well..regedit is a great tool.fixed
5.acer aspire 5516 which looks exactly like the e725..dead, no power..loose power jack
Let's get cracking'....
Came in dead, short circuit on charger as soon as he plugged in.
Eye check didn't show much so I had to crack it open...this is what I found, burnt chip.
I was praying to get one of these since I've never seen a burnt one.
Customer came in with this bad boy running as fast as a snail..5-10 minutes to get to log in screen.
Let's take a quick look...battery was ok, memory doing fine too, virus free, but Windows looks corrupted.
Looks like Boot msg checks for peripherals and read the msg "not enough space in runtime area. BIOS data will not be available."
Being me, I went deeper and cracked it open..there she is, circuit naked shows what could be the cause. Battery Solder leads came off the board.
This is what happens when u don't have enough experience....money going out the door.. :(
Tried everything possible but these are irreparable..by me. Hopefully I gain more experience from this.
No power, no charging lights, charger is ok..let's take a deeper look.
Little dirt, enough to cause overheating issues. Found 3 mosfets giving some weird readings.
Costume walked in with this thing dead. No display. No lights anywhere, she's using off brand charger which is 19v, when laptop requires 18.5...but still, dead.
Beside lint, I don't see much that could be causing the power issue. Some voltage testing tell me that the small cap behing power jack is getting 19v on one side but the outer side.
Maybe the problem is a mosfet or a cap, but all I have is a multimeter and testing can go so far.
These little buggers came in to get clone. I thought it would be a breeze, turns out, they come with a 1.8" hd and no cd bay.
Thinking of the best,fastest way to do it...
Little challenging without the right tools...2 hrs in, 10 machines done and going. Using only 2 flash drives. 12 mins each machine.
Came in with a video problem, no display,boots up fine, battery light..etc.
Took it apart and toasted it up a bit.
ta-da!!!!
