Good evening people. Ok,so my Acer laptop has been faulty for about a week now. It started with a black/blue screen of death. I tried reseating the RAM and it later got on after many trials. But........ It came on with horizontal colored lines blurring half the screen. Whether it's an LCD Cable problem or not I don't know. Some days back I put it on and found some thick blue line splayed across the top right corner of the laptop. Being confused right now is an understatement. I just pray it's not a screen problem. Pls help cry

Please help. I changed my laptop harddisk because my previous one was failing. Now I tried using the old one as external harddisk so I can copy out my files. The harddisk shows USB mass storage ready, the light is on but I cant see the harddisk partition on my laptop.

Please i need help on hw to retrieve my datas. I really need them


You can please try to check the disk management and see how the old hard disk works. If there is no problem with the hard disk, you can try to give a drive letter to the hard drive. If it doesn't help, give a try with some third-party software to clone the hard disk.

Looks like your hdd has shifted from the connector. Open the back of the laptop and connect it back then use something to pack it so it won't shift again.

Goes off after some minutes, simply take it to an engineer for servicing.

You don't have to replace the motherboard.

There is a short on the motherboard and any chip level engineer will sort it out within 30mins or less.

Take it to a laptop engineer.

Knowing exactly what you're doing is key.

For example.
Knowing exactly where to check for a particular motherboard fault.
For example, every chip requires clock signal, rtc and supplies to work well.

If you know how to read and understand schematic diagram, know how to read ic data sheet, know how to calculate voltage divider, know the importance voltage and signal to make a particular chip work.

Also confidence.

If you want to know more, let me assume you already have experience and want to know more, quote this post.

Oscilloscope : you must also learn how to use this tool, very very important.
This will help you solve 90% or more of your job.

You will use it to check clock signal, bios chip to know if it is working well, use it to know if a particular pin is working fine and also if the capacitor is filtering current well etc.
can a multimeter substitute this oscilloscope?

And please....if anyone have hp envy m6 carcass and touchpad flex shud pm me...its urgent

Naa, though we have some multimeters with oscilloscope though can't handle some jobs cos of low bandwidth.

u can let a tech check it out for you first, but the board may cost around 20k upwards

This is fixable, you really don't have to change the Down carcass.

A good engineer will do it and loosen the hinges a bit so it won't happen again

Hello. Morning everyone.

@odizeey, @geatestboss.
Diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis.... This takes away at least 90% plus of doubts from a certain issue. Take to a technician.


@youngmayor02, we need to see the picture of the said hp15. That series doesn't help(most times) when it comes to getting the hinges.

@okunade55, rather than get a complete bottom case, which will cost like 1/10 the cost of the laptop, why don't you take to @udemzyudex advise of having it properly fixed? Costs up to 1/20 the cost of the PC

Note; many who have the complete bottom might not want to sell just the down plate!! Being a recent laptop.

Although, the picture you sent does not truly reflect the status of the bottom plate. However I believe it's fixable.

@morningstar55
Envy m6 full carcass is available. But it's brand new. Touchpad flex is not available.
Do you mind a used one that's not looking so fresh?

*Cheers everyone*
