But now it has refused totals to on again. I took to slot in Enugu state and over one Week and the engineer kept to telling me that they have been working on it but it’s not responding
They laptop is Just 3years Old

The best thing to do is try someone else or get another motherboard.

All?

If yes then that's a serious problem.

I don't know the model of your laptop but if it is a PCH(peripheral control hub) architecture, then reflowing the chip might help or replacing it.

Well most engineers don't have the machine to do that so replacing the motherboard might be the only solution.

It might be a bad charger, a bad keyboard or the track pad is bad.

But check device manager for pointing device if it is there, uninstall and restart your laptop.

Hello

Three things are most likely the cause;

1. The screen
The screen led lights might have reached their end of life. Sadly, you will have to change the screen if that's the case.

2. IC on board.
If an IC (display IC or associated ICs) isn't delivering enough voltage to the display inverter, the leds won't light up. Hence the IC is replaced or there's a work around.
Although, with a "work around", you may not be able to regulate the display brightness.
Well, it's cheaper though grin

3. The display inverter.
If you're using a much older PC, the display inverter is most likely separate from the screen. If it's bad, the display won't be lit up. You'll need to replace it.

However, with recent PCs, The inverter is embedded on the panel attached to the screen. There usually some trick grin applied to that section of the panel to "wake" the said inverter.
Ofcourse if that doesn't work you replace the screen.

*Cheers*



Well, I'm pretty good at applying these tricks... Holla if you're in Lagos.

How many times does it blink?

Take it to an engineer for servicing, the fan vent is block with dust and thermal paste dried up on processor.

If problem persist after this then fault might be thermal sensor error.

OK, First, hi.

Now, CMOS battery can actually make your bp rise to high heavens.

The blink codes you told us about would have suggested a RAM issue if the only the capslock blinked. -no harm in checking the RAM though wink

However accompanied by another key like numlock, and a speeding fan, it starts getting complicated.

So, check another CMOS battery. That's about the only thing you can do to get your PC back.

Let's not also forget the good old "discharge" -Remove battery +charger, hold power button for 10 sec to 15 sec, plug and power again

If any of the above personal efforts prove abortive, then you'll have to see a technician.



*Cheers*

Replace your RAM, if you have two RAM installed on your laptop, troubleshoot one after the other, you will get the one that is faulty.


Make sure you remove your battery while doing this and use only charger ( to avoid story that touches grin)

If possible remove your hard drive too, so that your operating system won't get corrupt while troubleshooting.


If you can't do this, just take it to a laptop technician.
