so i seem to have come to a bit of an impass as i try to put together my laptop lethal i got the HDD back in fine its all the little things that i dont know about. do i have to remove the fan to put something in?
You have to remove the fan and heat sink to put the cpu back in. You'll want to grease the heat sink also.
The black wire goes to the main and the gray goes to the aux on the wireless card.
yeah the ram is in and the cpu is screwed in but it doesnt sound like the fan in turning on is that the problem?
Yeah the power light turns on and it makes a noise then it stays blank and turns off after about 20-30 seconds later.
it stops accesing the ram and the nothing else responds cant even turn on caps lock i tried a couple different times and it does the same thing.
yeah so i called and they said the reason it was freezing up was because of drivers and they had updated them ...which doesnt really help me since i cant see whats going on. also i talked to the manufacturer their gonna have it go in under warranty but i need help taking this stuff out
pci wireless harddrve, cpu, memory harddirve harddrive kit ac adapter and battery
Sounds like fun for me. You can do it if you want.
That stuff is a cinch to remove from your laptop. There are two panels on the bottom. You just remove the screws on them and slide them off. All the stuff is right under those.
I cannot tell you how to remove the battery and ac adapter. It's beyond me. ;P
The hardest part is finding a place to store your parts. You'll want to place your cpu, ram, hdd, and wireless card in separate static proof bags. I got some.
If you want a quick clean solution I know similar thing happened to my brothers laptop and he hooked it up to a monitor. (He also took off he screen so it wouldnt be in the way... but going on a quick temp solution idea, I'mm sure you have usb mouse + keyboard)
It's probably a loose connection. You will have to take it apart to fix it. I can look at it next time I see you.
Ask Hanpan for one of my addresses.
Also, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't get that job downtown I wanted. We just have to keep at this bullshit and we will conquer it.
Lethal applies for another position
If it's not a loose connection, you can sometimes find a replacement for cheaper than a new laptop. In that case, you might as well just keep it taken apart and start looking around.
Sorry to hear lethal didn't get the job he went for. Good luck in the future :D
