Tools Of Any Trade In A Song, Fun!
ChatterBank0 min ago
the other day my laptop - dell precision M6800 - stopped working. i started it up & i got a few seconds of the fans starting up etc, then nothing, i just stopped.
so all that happens now, with the power lead plugged in, & with my finger held down on the button, all that happens is the on/off symbol lights up & the light on the capslock button comes on.
however the hinges on this laptop broke a little while ago, so i had to prop it up, but as im using it on a tray on my knee, while in bed (ive been ill) so its fallen forward & back quite a lot, & the thin plastic frame bit sometime pinged forward & i had to click them back into place
so im thinking that maybe a wire has come loose or damaged, in the fold area?
i swapped the battery & the power cord but nothing changed.
Ive got replacement hinges, but im wondering if there could be another reason for the fault.
Any ideas?
Thanks :)
