    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    a couple weeks ago the screen would dim out while in use. When i would log off, power down and then back up, it would be normal, then dim out again. last week, the screen just suddenly went black, but it was still on. it stayed like that until i manually powered it down ,then the next day it was fine (Except the dimmed screen).

    today it just went black again and i've tried powering it back up, but it wont.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    Sounds like a bad power supply or motherboard.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    My HP has a problem similar to this. It needed a new power supply. Is it under warranty still? The only thing that sucks with laptops is the motherboard and power supply are integrated meaning you have to replace the whole thing.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    Power supply is internal. It is where the laptop accepts the external plug in.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    Power supply like internal parts.

    Does it turn on and the screen just stays blank, or nothing at all happens?

    Their warranty is third party so anyone with warranties will not be affected.

    Turn it on and let it stop thinking, then hold down the spacebar.
    If it starts beeping after a couple seconds then it's probably working and just the screen is out.

    Or if you have an external monitor from a desktop plug it in and check.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    Take the battery out ---- then put it back in. Then push the ON button. If that doesn't work mix yourself a tripple gin and tonic with a lime and watch some TV.

    Re: Soo.. I think I broked it.

    tired taking out the battery and nada

    before i did that i tried the power button again, it started to act like it was going to power on then took a shit.

    i'll put it back on the charger for a bit and leave it be then try again later.
