If it starts switchin off, it tends to only really work for any amount of time if i leave it off for an hour or so/ Its still under 1year warranty so im gonna take it back but want to back up everything that is on it first. am i best off just trying to copy everything and hoping the computer doesnt switch off before its done? fucking laptop is a piece of shit.

poes Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 but prolly from what you are saying that it runs in increments its the cooling fan that is taking a shit on you I think your right. it happens when running on battery and when its plugged into the wall. dont reckon it is the power supply because the battery is charged so it should switch to that if the power supply fails. Also, this laptop always gets very hot near the ventilation gap, which i thought was a bit wrong but i never had any problems so ignored it.

Also, this laptop always gets very hot near the ventilation gap, which i thought was a bit wrong but i never had any problems so ignored it. you can rejuice a battery easily. unplug the charger and use the laptop until it goes dead, take the battery out and place it in a ziplock, seal, the place it in another ziplock, seal, stick it in your freezer for 24 hours, take it out, let it air dry, then stick it in your computer and charge it. may have to try twice.

johnny ballbags Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 i haves two questions: 1. after being out of the office and working on the road for the past week i went back in and my computer was all fucked up (either from one of my coworkers or one of their kids fucking around with my shit).... nothing major (i dont think), but there was 5 IE shortcuts on the desktop and when i hit the IE icon it created more shortcuts..... so i just deleted them all..... but now when i click on a link in my favorites in IE it opens this site in firefox... i really wouldnt give a shit, but some of the vendor sites i use at work dont function properly in firefox... i changed my pw to keep fuckers out, and im taking the comp home with me to swap out some parts (including the hd) with one of my home ones, so i dont really care if it gets fixed cuz its getting formatted and used as a slave, but i would like to know how the fuck this shit happened....... 2. one of my 1gb flash drives is completely empty, but its only showing 726mb of free space.... there no hidden files and i defragged it twice... any ideas?
