Got a Packard Bell which has gone funny, PB wont accept it back although its under 1 year old So anyone on here can fix it or know of any people who know how to do it?
It wont start up mate. At the time it was in sleep mode, so started it back up came on fine, went out of room and came back in and it was off . So tried to switch it back on and nothing! Wont come on at all now. Plus the power pack is making a funny noise like a hight pitched click. Though it should have come on even if power pack was fooked as battery was near full.
if the system board and the power board are integrated forget it it will be cheaper to buy a new laptop. if the power board is separate it can be done but will still be expensive.
i would do as other have said and try removing things and see if it powers up
Looks like i might have to take insurance out on it and will have to have an accident
I've got the insurance on my Packard Bell - they have repaired it 4 times alledgedly since i dropped it, the idiots and i'm sure they have used 2nd hand parts to do so.
I had the laptop between my legs, getting stuff out of the car and it somehow fell on the floor.
To date it's had, a new mainboard at a cost of Ł432, 2 new fans, 2 new heat sinks and a battery. Not good
