put the laptop in an air tight nylon. Wrap it firmly to the extent that air will not enter or escape through the charging port. Plug in the charger and switch it on. Leave it like that till it switches off by itself. After this, the graphics panel detached through heat must have been reflowed. G. Luck.








Please can you throw more light ?

Cannt understand the procedure

My 5 year old Compaq 615 laptop started showing some buish green colourations last year, and after few months, the scree just would not come up despite being on. I took it for repair and the engineer brought it back to life. 2 weeks after, d same colourations started showing on the laptop when on. The engineer diagnosed it as a vGA poblem. He said I'd need to change the board to get a new VGA card. My question is: what's the guarantee that a replaced motherbard won't give problem later? He said it would cost Me 25K to change d new board. Hope he is nnot trying to rip me off. Pls, I need your advice. I am not buoyant for now to buy a new laptop. Thanks

before loosing things out. I believe you could have tried some necessary measures.

Loosing excessive power might have fixed the PC.

A 5 year old Compaq?

Do the cost analysis. There are better Uk used systems that don't cost more than 360I that you can invest in. Spending 25k on that system to me is not worth it except it's an extraordinary "machine". Tell him to scrap it, Sell parts and so. You may not get more than 5 to 8k but it's a good bargain. Add money and get something better.

Hello all, i just recently encountered a problem with my asus k43u laptop, i woke it up from hibernation yesterday, it came on, i put in my password, desktop displayed. It was looking fyn, then i went outside to pack my close outside, when i came back my laptop screen was completly black with a message like ''reboot and select proper boot media and press a key'' the message was multiple on the screen and its was blinking. I pressed one key and the blinking stopped. I pressed the power button and it immediatly shut down which was very unusal.
I started the laptop again, and it showed me on message after the asus logo to select the boot media, i think i selected one of them because they were two, on ended with ram, while the other had some numbers and letters as it name e.g st903145s66.
Then it showed the windows logo, after with a black screen came up, i waited for about 5 minutes or xo before i could eventually log in. And i when i logged in discovered the laptop was extremely slow, it takes minutes form programs to open, and even when they open they dont respond or just hang, at times the thing will just hang. I decide to scan with avast but the first messagae i got was that avast is noy running in background or xo and no endpoints or something like that. Please i want you all to help me solve this problem. Thank you.

I think your laptop was installed with a 2gb ram.

Do you have norton antivirus installed ?

Are you installing windows updates ?

Where did you placed the laptop, i.e. bed/desk ?

Have you serviced the laptop before, i.e. to clean the
fan and apply a fresh artic silver thermal paste so as to
help cool the cpu and other internal components ?

The average Nigeria temperature is between 28 and 42 degree
Celsius. Therefore, you need to clean the fan and apply a fresh thermal paste.
If you have a virus, I'd suggest to look for adetwin on this forum for further help

Last resort is to reformat the laptop, is entirely up to you.
