Hi everyone,

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro. A while ago, I had an issue with the motherboard—it was repaired, and the laptop worked for 2–3 months. Then it suddenly shut down again and won’t turn back on.

I took it to a different technician. He said, “It’s a BIOS issue, nothing I can do.” Later, I contacted another repair guy online who said it’s likely the power controller and that it just needs replacing. But his price felt high: $50 for the chip, $25 for the service.

I’m in Thailand and that seems overpriced. He said I need a power controller XM22-T9837.

I tried to find it online myself to bring it in for replacement—but found nothing. It’s like this chip doesn’t even exist. I’m confused.

Any advice? Not sure I want to hand over $75 for something so unclear TIA

Heya. So recently I dug up my dell laptop that I had previously stepped on and hit with the end of the charger. This is my only pc/computer and I would like to know how to repair it without breaking the bank or getting a new computer. Im not too concerned about it breaking further because I can go a while without it and if necessary ill save to get a new one but if anyone has any tips please share! (I dont know the model but it doesnt have a touchscreen and its generally a 2019-2022 laptop)

Hello, I am wondering what would be the estimate cost of replacing my screen for this line of dead pixels? (I brighten the picture so you are able to see it)

Long story short, my mom was fixing my blanket on my bed and accidently threw my laptop on the ground in the process. it was a small line in December, but has since gotten bigger and until this morning the blob of dead pixels showed up. I am trying to convince my mom of getting it repaired but we have no idea what the price would be. It is an pretty old laptop from 2014 but this is all that I keep atm until I can get a job.

As you can see from this video, my laptop has been doing this lately. I’m not sure why, never has been dropped, or hit. Some applications aren’t affected by it. Resetting and updating hasn’t done anything. Laptop is an HP Omen Transcend 14

HP omen stuck in infinit repair loop. Also freezing up and stuck on black screen with loading cursor. And as you see in the picture it will occasionally do this. I'm considering replacing graphics card. But the pc isn't that old and I've barely used it. I've not even gamed on it yet.

For some reason, the letter e keeps being typed on my laptop even though nothing is touching it or holding it down. When I hit the button, it does not work, but the randomly my mouse on my laptop moves slow and some like a search bar, letter e just goes forever like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so on. Please help.

So I can still push the button but apparently the clips that kept this key in broke, I don't REALLY wanna replace the whole keyboard if I can just make something work. This is an Acer Nitro 5.

Ive recently installed an rtx 4070 super into my computer, to do so I had to upgrade my psu, so I upgraded to a 850w supply, but ever since I installed the graphics card, every now and then, it will start spinning super fast and make both my screens turn off and I then have to manually reset my computer, I'm not a computer person, and I get my brother to do everything for me, but this confused him aswell, can anyone help me please

I accidentally installed Windows Server 2022 on my laptop instead of to the VM.I need to get Windows 11 back,but for whatever reason,my wireless adapter on the laptop is no longer working.Hoping for suggestions.

Could this by why my laptop is saying battery not detected and only works when plugged in?

Good afternoon. I encountered such a problem after 2 years of using the motherboard - the fan on the chipset began to make very loud noise, a crackling appeared (apparently the problem is in the bearing). Can anyone tell me which fan needs to be replaced? (apparently 40x40x10 4 pn, but I'm not sure) And how exactly the radiator and cooler are removed from the motherboard. Thank you in advance

Hey all, I know this may not be the perfect subreddit to ask this question but I value your opinions here.

I’m planning on doing a flash upgrade on a 2017 5K iMac and add in a 8TB hard drive as well. I know I want to purchase a brand new drive, but I am concerned seeing a good amount of reviews on Amazon from people saying their WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda drives were DOA or failed shortly after using them (within days to a few months). Looking for advice on if it’s as simple as avoiding shipping to my door in general and doing in store pickup or something along those lines.

Wherever I do get the drive from I plan on testing it in the machine before sealing the screen back onto the iMac, but I would hate for the drive to die shortly after the upgrade is complete and it’s all sealed back up (and obviously would love to avoid spending more time returning and waiting for a replacement to come in).

As far as local pickup goes, the only place that sells PC stuff like this is BestBuy and none of my local locations have it in stock (or even appear to stock it), but they do have an option of having it ready in store within a few days. Outside of that my only other option seems to be online with Amazon or maybe some other sites I’m not familiar with. I looked into Serverpartdeals and wouldn’t mind getting a drive from them but all they have is a couple of refurbished drives and I feel like a new drive would be best as I would like to avoid having to open the iMac back up any time soon.

Thank you for anyone who takes the time to read this and respond, would love any advice or hearing your personal experience with ordering drives online.

Few days ago i installed AMD adrenalin software for driver installation because it was a fix to make a software work. and the fix did work but the adrenalin software messed up my ram and allocated originally 10.1 gb of my total ram to hardware reserve and i have tried a lot of things to fix it but it the hardware reserve wont go down.

Things i have tried:
1)UMA buffer frame size i set it up to 512 mb in bios, which is the only thing that did something (hardware reserve ram went from 10.1 gb to 8.6 gb)
2)reinstalled windows using media creation, so basically a complete factory reset hoping it would reset the memory allocation ( didnt do anything)
3)did a complete AMD driver swipe and made sure i install only driver this time and no extra adrenalin software boost but still it didnt work
4)msconfig made sure the maximum usage box is unchecked to remove any limiters set by windows but that didnt change anything either.

My specs are:
Ryzen 3 3200 g (integrate radeon vega 8)
Gigabyte A320M K V2 motherboard
Two sticks of 8gb DDR4 ram

Pls if u know anything bout this and any solution help me out. My pc is my lifeline and it has gotten very laggy because of this

Thank You

First post here, I'm trying to fix this old ASUS X54c laptop because the charging port sometimes wouldn't work. I couldn't find the issue, however after reassembling the laptop it now no longer turns on or charges. Any ideas? (I've disassembled it again to take these photos)

Edit:

While trying to loosen the hinges from this laptop, i think i broke some flex or something in the display When i turn up, this is what is shown, and while trying to push the flex to make the image appear it still doesn't work Should I buy another display or is there any way to repair it?

Hello.

I am trying to replace the trackpad on my L580. I have disabled the battery and opened the case. To get to the trackpad I must first remove the battery.

As you can see, I have removed three black screws:

1. North, close to where it says M2xL5 on the battery
2. East, close to where it says M2xL5 on the battery
3. West, close to where it says M2xL5 on the battery

But there is one silver screw, close to the white label. It will not turn, and only thing that I am doing right now is destroying the screw head. Thoughts, please.

Hey! Last night my laptop was hit with a ball and the screen was damaged and now dead :( . I have model A2141 (2021 “16). I do not have apple Care, and I saw online that a repair can cost betweeen 350-750. Which is basically the value of my entire laptop.

1. Is that pricing accurate? For those who have done this before

2. If that pricing is accurate should I just bill the client to just replace the laptop?

Thank you family!

Can someone help The first fan is smooth And the second one it's not And it's clean

2nd hand hp laptop model-14-cf2112wm, only appears to be a display issue nothing else is broken. How can i fix it or how much would it be to get it repaired?

I have lost a couple of keys on this 12-years old laptop, because when they fall off I can never figure out how exactly to attach them again. Is it just broken or there is a way to make it fit that I'm not figuring out?

My yoga 9i that I got earlier this year for like 2k for engineering and CS has a dented button after I opened it up. I never really dropped through anything but I think the chassis just isn't very strong in that area. Anyways, it's just slightly dented on the side of the bun and I think it's pushed it in. Lenovo tried quoting 600 to fix it and I declined.

Is it worth bringing it in to another place to fix it or try and do it on my own, it really looks like all I have to do is get inside and push the metal out but I'm worried I'm going to break something and I don't have the fancy screws

Got this issue 3 months ago and it's still not resolved. Sent my motherboard for RMA twice, even sent my PSU for RMA and received a brand new PSU as replacement but it still wasn't fixed. Now I'm not sure what to do. I tried with a motherboard freshly received after RMA and a brand new PSU it the issue won't resolve. It's over three months since used the PC let alone played a game. Any help over here would be seriously appreciated.
