Marc Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Try the basic first .. Have you turned it off and back on again? Sorry LOL .... OK ... have you tried pressing windows key plus P to switch screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Lol, thanks. 😃 Yep. I have tried to do that several times but nothing. Paul's taken it apart quickly to see if any things come loose but all looks connected and secure engineering wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Am trying to reseat the ram currently but have seen in the internet that the motherboard can go belly up in the hp g62 model. [emoji30] Edit: reseating failed. 😠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 When pressing try doing windows + P then pressing the down arrow afterward incase its not moving the selection. Other than that it looks like its probably best in a shop by the sound of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Spoke to my dad and he's going to take a look at it, he said a few things but most of it didn't sink in..."spatar connectors..pins...blah blah blah" lol. What he did remind me of is that there should be a hot key on the laptop somewhere that allows me to reinstall everything from scratch (i forgot what it was though, lol) and that as it was purchased from pc world that they usually put in their own points of access should i have to go back to them. God I hate using this pc, can't touch type on a regular keyboard to save my life anymore, keys are too far apart! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Tbh I'm always in trouble for something, I just expect it now. This time it was because the cd drawer was full of dust and the charging cable was a bit of a safety issue, lol. Oddly he let it go about the broken f key and finger print marks on the screen, I beat a hasty retreat whilst he was wandering around looking for a sata connector. Lol.

Emma Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Dads called with an update. He's taken the hard drive out and put it into one of his other devices. It was in recovery mode so he put it through its process and it's come back all clear. Now for the good bit, he's ordered me a second hand version of the same laptop (they're around £250 even second hand so I owe him a big thank you!) we're hoping that the hard drives can be switched over so my old one is put into the new devise and possibly the memory chips too but will have to wait and see if they're compatible. Will have a laptop again soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thought I'd give you the outcome of this. My dad sent it off to pc world to be analysed and the problem was on the motherboard, the "north board"? chip had blown, dad said there is also a south board? chip that controls other functions and that one is fine. So pc world are going to solder on a new chip for £35, which I thought was very reasonable. So including their analysing and labour it works out about £85 in total. Still considerably cheaper than I was expecting. Oh and I don't get to keep the laptop I'm using now. Dad wants to keep that one for himself, lol. We'll swap over when mine is back from the workshop, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thats actually not bad for what they are doing. Not so much because of whats involved or the cost, but more for the fact that they are replacing the chip at all as a lot of places will just say "new motherboard time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
