Laptops not working
In short. I have 2 samsung laptops, both broken. Both have been opened before. One is stripped of everything besides the essentials (mobo, cpu, ram, etc.) and the other is fully reassembled.
MODEL: NP350V5C
The fans turn on for a brief second then off and then just stay at full speed forever.
Things I've tried:
- repasting,
- waiting for it to turn on
- the stripped one got the oven treatment (still nothing).
Please help
Well if you put the one in the oven, that one will likely never turn on. What you discribed seams like a ram issue or short circut in the motherboard.
3Oh the oven one still beheaves similarly, it was all covered in aluminum foil except the gpu die (which I thought is the issue)
There is no caps lock light but the dvd drive starts reading if I put something inside. The screen doesn't light up at all, the charging and the power lights are on, no blinking.
1Ok, Im not 100% sure whats causing it but im going to list some things you could check
- Check the connecters, are any connectors damaged? This also includes cables.
- Are there any scratches on the motherboard or missing chips (may look like a silver metalic spot on the mobo)?
- Are there any spots on the motherboard that get really hot in the first gew seconds?
- Try switching out parts (like the power switch/button).
- I notice you said you had two of the same laptops, are they a company laptop?
Overall I think this comes down to a motherboard failure caused by wear and tear on the systems, sometimes it may be cheaper to buy a new laptop than keep fixing a problematic laptop.
