Do-It-Yourself Laptop and Notebook Upgrading, Modding and Repairing

• tantaro on 02 Nov 17 @ 08:25 AM #

  Hello po guys ask ko lang suggestion
  
  My laptop ako Asus N550jk, 5 years old na , so last month nagkaproblema sya related sa power on/off .
  
  Naayos naman sya via a close friend na technician , ang problema daw yung power board nya may tama ang IC ng power board (separate sya sa mismong MOBO which is good) kaya di na nag o-on via power button.
  
  Tapos ang remedy nya temporary is nilabas nya yung flex cable sa likod ng laptop tapos yung power board mismo minamanual on namin , pinagdidikit namin yung metal strip sa flex cable at yung sa power board ( me parang socket sya) para mag on ang pc which is gumagana naman.
  
  Ano pa po ang magandang solusyon sa case ng laptop although ultimately bibili ng bagong power board.

  help needed po for laptop charger compatibilty
  may toshiba satellite a200-1m6 ang bro ko..problem is nasira ang charger but wala na yun written specs under the original charger..sa bottom ng laptop, written specs are 19v 3.4A..asked an on line dealer, suggest niya for A200 are 19v 3.95A at 19v 4.72A..any suggestion po?

• awakeruze on 11 Nov 17 @ 07:18 PM #

  @jomadaza
  
  Either will be fine, since they have higher ampere rating than is required by the laptop.
  
  Personally, if the prices are the same, I'd choose the 19v 4.72A one.

  I'll never recommend a laptop for gaming.

  because of the budget or you just won't?

• awakeruze on 01 Dec 17 @ 11:08 AM #

  Repair/upgrade costs. When a desktop GPU breaks down, it's just a matter of replacing the card. In a gaming laptop, you'll end up having to replace the entire system board, which costs at least half the laptop itself-- not very practical, to be honest.

  saan po kaya shop na pwedeng pa reballing/resolder ng laptop., w/ power sya but not booting anymore. preferrably monumento area or accessible sana via lrt.
  btw, laptop is Gaterway NV53

  Guys,
  
  May marerecommed kayo na shop for 13 inches LCD replacement ng Dell? May black lines na kasi. Ayaw ko bumili ng bago since i3 Haswell 2014 model pa naman and gamit ko lang mainly for documents and surfing the net.
  
  Thanks

• billbob on 13 Mar 18 @ 09:21 AM #

  mahal kaya paayos pag yung sira ay ayaw mag on at may amoy sunog?
  power supply kaya o motherboard na ang sira?

• elman on 13 Mar 18 @ 09:36 AM #

  matik palit motherboard yan sir.

• billbob on 13 Mar 18 @ 09:58 AM #

  matik palit motherboard yan sir.
  

  
  ganon ba? wala bang parang protection na fuse muna ng power supply yung masusunog bago pa mag-short yung mother board?
  
  ayos may bago na naman akong laptop na pang display. hehe

• billbob on 13 Mar 18 @ 10:01 AM #

  ^ may idea ka boss magkano asus i7 laptop motherboard?
  di na ba magagamit yung processor/ram nya? di ba nakakabit yon sa motherboard? so palit na rin lahat ng ram? i7 processor nya?
  salamat.

• elman on 13 Mar 18 @ 10:10 AM #

  para malaman sir, kailangan nyo itest kung gumagana o hindi na yung dalawa.
  
  alam ko lang na merong fuse ay yung sa power adapter.

• awakeruze on 13 Mar 18 @ 10:26 AM #

  @billbob
  
  It depends on the age of the laptop. After the Haswell generation, all laptop CPUs are soldered to the system board, even the Core i7 quad-cores.
  
  Regarding the RAM, it depends on the model as well. Some have one or two RAM slots, some only have soldered RAM, and a few have a small amount of soldered RAM (4GB) and 1 RAM slot for expansion.

• billbob on 13 Mar 18 @ 10:28 AM #

  ^ hehe mamaya maghahanap ako ng mga youtube videos kung papaano buksan yung laptop. baka matangal ko yung hd at ram.
  tapos ibalik ko para pang display na lang hehe

• awakeruze on 13 Mar 18 @ 11:01 AM #

  What model is your Asus laptop?

  lenovo Y410p i7, hindi asus.
  
  nakakita na ako ng YT video ng disassembly nya.
  nabuksan ko likod at tangal na ang hd. mukhang ok naman sya
  kaso nung sinaksak ko via usb adaptor ay kailangan daw iformat. di maaccess yung mga files nya. pagka format ay ok naman yung hd.
  
  tapos 2 ram modules na ddr3, no idea kung ok pa sya o hindi. mamaya siguro swap ko sya sa isa kong laptop to test kung madeteck yung ram modules.

  Y410p? It's the one with the quad-core Haswell i7 right? the CPU is probably removable.

• billbob on 13 Mar 18 @ 08:08 PM #

  yup, haswell.
  any estimate kung mga magkano abutin ng MB nya?
  at least may idea ako bago ko dalhin sa shop.
  pag lumagpas ng 15k ay hindi ko na papaayos.
  may makukuha ako sa tpc na i7 na mga 25k na lang.

• awakeruze on 13 Mar 18 @ 09:30 PM #

  ^ A friend of mine needed a board replacement for his brother's laptop, and the shop in Gilmore said it would cost around 18k, so I think it's the usual price. :(

• billbob on 14 Mar 18 @ 04:49 AM #

  ^ wow ang mahal!
  bili na lang ako ng used i7 na laptop. so ibig sabihin ay mas mahal pa pag sa lenovo service center ko papaayos ang laptop ko?
  hehe
