Funjosh: Please gurus in the house what can i do to a laptop that the screan display in four. (divide into four places)

onegig: first thing. ..what were doing drinking tea and using the laptop? Secondly, once such happens. You need to disconnect the battery, mains so as to avoid short circuting. Water(Liquids) is a conductor of electricity and i am Damn sure some got on to the board. Cleaning and drying out the board might help but if the damage done was extensive. I am sorry the guy might have to buy a new mother board.

Funjosh:

@onegig and co please help me na am confuse the screan display in four parts.

leunamme93:
A douche bag liverpool fan. I guess it will serve as a lesson to him. Someone boots it into something. He says the ram is still working. Let me try to get a pic.

onegig: oh you got lucky its coming up. You didn't tell me it was actually turning up. Whats the error displaying on the screen?

leunamme93: Is the motherboard spoilt

onegig: nope. .the motherboard isn't. Far from it. Highest you might have to do is re install or repair the currently operating system. I.e the windows. Can you restart and hold the f8 key. Next select safe mode. Let it load. Report back.

Oga 1gb ened to me today with my laptop. Drink spilt on it, just a few keys and not too much and i hurriedly cleaned it. The system was still working fine. Then i left to somewhere, put the system on hibernates mode then i left. When i came back i switched it on, it worked. I watched a series on it and then i switched to a new Nigerian CD I bought as i was watching it, after sometime the laptop just SWITCHED ITSELF OFF. when i tried to restart it, the power butto would light, the wifi button would light even the external speakers would light and if i should plug my phone to the system via USB, It would indicate yet the screen remains blank and doesn't come on. What could be the problem

onegig: i guess the problem is connected with the spilled drink. You might have to take it for physical examination. Also spree it under a direct fan for extended periods of time.

WackyJ1:
I stay in benin. Where can i take it for the physical examination?

WackyJ1: I listened to the laptop and i realised that when i turned on the Laptop. The fan starts for 1 second and then turns off but the laptop remains on. What could be the issue. Can just the fan be repaired?

onegig: you still putting it on? Try removing the ram and switching or replacing them. Also perform a hard reset. Remove the battery and disconnect the mains. Hold the power button for thirty seconds to one minute. Release and power on normally.

onegig: still mobile but got this step by step method of the site.

If TestDisk is not yet installed, it
can be downloaded from
TestDisk Download. Extract the
files from the archive including
the sub-directories.
To recover a lost partition or
repair the filesystem from a
hard disk, USB key, Smart Card,
etc., you need enough rights to
access a physical device.ng Under Windows, start
TestDisk (ie
testdisk-6.13/
testdisk_win.exe )
from an account in the
Administrator group. Under Vista,
right-click testdisk_win.exe and
then "Run as administrator" to
launch TestDisk.Choose None if you do not want

Testdisk was started from a

table types.
Select the partition table type -
usually the default value is the
correct one as TestDisk auto-

missing partitions and errors The first partition is listed twice
which points to a corrupted
partition or an invalid partition

Invalid NTFS boot points to a

corrupted filesystem.

Still a bit technical. Try it out if however it does not recover the partition you might have to wait a lil longer or take it to a certified technician. Sometimes there's a limit to those diy routines.

semid4lyfe:

Did all this and ran the testdisk overnight and no partitions were detected.

Anyways, all hope is not lost. At least, I should still be able to copy my files with the method posted HERE

onegig: select the first one by choosing. Sata hdd. Thats where you operating system files are located.
