PhonesRe: Solved: I Think I Fried My Laptop - I Need Help Please by ForG(op): 4:52pm On Aug 14, 2023
Revolution2022:
It is better to remove the battery while your PC is on than to remove the RAM.Your RAM is part of your components in your PC that makes it to run smoothly.Take it to a specialist.He will disassemble it and probe the actual fault.This is why I discourage DIY.
jackmrandy:
price is based on your location and availability of parts to fix it. for power issue, have around 15k or there about, depending of the laptop thou and parts availability. overall, it depends on who wants to fix it. if you are dangote's son don't expect him to tell you 15k, you go pay more
The laptop in question is a Thinkpad.
But, I think you misunderstand me. It is not a power issue.

Usually, when I connect the laptop to the power, my standing fan experiences a slight drop in speed, and if I'm using a generator, there is a change in its sound. This, I believe, is a normal occurrence due to the laptop's 90-watt charger.

My point is, now, with the laptop in a non-functional state, the same phenomenon occurs when I plug it in.

I don't believe the issue lies in the laptop drawing an excessive amount of current, sir.

ohh.. if i understand you properly, once you connect a charger to the laptop, it draws current.. it has short. short circuit in mother board. not what you can fix. take it to an enginneeer. possibly a roasted IC in the board. don;t attempt connnecting it again cos you might be doing more damage to the board and also your other appliances connected to the same source.
Yes it draws current.
How much do you think?

Fried ke? Which oil you use?

Carry it to a good repairer to run check on it..

Hit the ground running
Many online forums suggest that removing the RAM while the computer is running could "fry" the motherboard.

But there are also numerous accounts from people who have personally removed the RAM while the computer was running and found that their laptop still worked fine after restarting.

The reason I'm hesitant to consult professional repair services is that I want to avoid spending money on something I could potentially fix myself.
More importantly, I'm concerned about investing in a repair for a device that might be beyond repair, when I could use that money to acquire a temporary backup PC in the meantime.

use another charger to test? while the batttery is out. if no sign of power, the board is fried as your heading just stated. but pray there is no short circuit in the board. test with another charger first. if no sign of power with the new charger pluged in, then the laptop need to see an engineer for inspection and diagnosis and finally enter the theatre for surgery,,,,,,
Thank you very much.
I've attempted the suggested solution, but unfortunately, the issue persists.

Whenever I connect the laptop, there's a typical noticeable decrease in power to other appliances (NEPA) or even the generator.

This seems to indicate that the laptop is still operational to some extent.

However, despite this faint sign of hope, there's no indicator light illuminating to show that the laptop is charging.
PhonesSolved: I Think I Fried My Laptop - I Need Help Please by ForG(op):
My laptop was making a beeping sound in the pattern 1-3-3-1, which I found out indicated a problem with the RAM.

The laptop would power on but couldn't complete the startup process (stuck at black). During one of these instances, I decided to remove the RAM while the screen was blank but the laptop was turned on.

However, as soon as I did that, the laptop immediately powered off and became unresponsive, even when connected to a charger. There were no lights or any sign of activity.

I attempted various troubleshooting steps like swapping the RAM modules, using only one RAM stick, and even running the laptop without any RAM, but none of these actions produced any response.

I'm uncertain if the issue lies solely with the RAM or if there might be a more serious problem with the laptop itself.

Engineers and learned personnel, what do you think please
PhonesRe: Fallacy Or Myths: Charging New Phone Before Use. by ForG(m): 1:31pm On Jun 22, 2023
It's not a myth, but it's outdated. Most devices today use li-ion which don't need such charging.

Any manufacturer who demands a full charge is only doing that so your first use of your phone is long and satisfying.

Hello here.

Please I want to make an international purchase that demands a one-off passport to verify my account.

I was on the path to getting mine, but the process and documents to get it will take months.

Is there any location in Lagos where I can find willing "guarantors", or anyone here who can help with theirs? I will pay

I'm not a fraudster.

In exchange, I will offer my ID card, current address and current place of employment if you discover any fraudulent activities so I could be reported to the police.

Op, you're living a farce and seeking public justification/validation to bed this woman.

She is giving you short uninterested answers, and you're writing her lengthy paragraphed letters that involve wanton insinuations.

You ask for a full disclosure and she sends you a 3-second voice note, and you're responding "do you need it now?"

Keep deceiving yourself.

Exactly what I'm facing In my newly rented apartment.
Although I've spent a month plus but this particular incident happened when I just spent about 2 weeks in the house.
I brought my gf to know where I'm now staying and as soon as we entered into the house, the landlady whispered but I ignored since she knows my name why not call me by my name.
The second day as my gf and I were going out she started ranting that I should not be bringing ladies into her house that her house is not a brothel.
I was like since I parked into this house how many girls or ladies as she seen with me? I kept quiet and let her say all her nonsense. I just told my gf let's go.
Thank God I only paid 6 month plus agreement... Cos I can't see myself staying in that kind of house for long.
Exactly her point that her house not a hotel.
