lakornlover Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey guys, I won't be able to come to the site for awhile because my stupid Compaq isn't working again. They just changed the motherboard and it worked for a week, but now it won't even turn on. Gotta take it back to Circuit City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakornlover Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 That was the problem that my Compaq had, they changed the motherboard and then they changed the power board. Sometimes it also has to do with the battery... like my brother's laptop he can only keep it plugged in for awhile and then he has to unplug it because if he leaves it plugged in, it shuts off. So he's just sitting in the computer lab, plugging and unplugging his laptop, people were looking at him like he was crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenapple2 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 my laptop keeps shutting down these past two day!!!! Anyone know the reason for these randomly shutting down??? The above problems mention are all possible. Laptop only have a certain lifetime span. It could also be due to overheating, the fan's probably not working as efficiently as it used to so the laptop heats up too quickly, which could affect your memory or other parts of the laptop, thus it is slower than usually or could shut itself down. If this is the problem, then it is sign that the laptop will eventually die in the near future. Solution is to invest in a "chill pad" also known as "notebook cooler" that you put under the laptop when you're using to help dissipate the heat away or to lower down the temperature of the laptop.

shampoo Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 May I think Compaq computer sucks. lol Cuz we have one and we bought it for about 1 years than it died. We have warranty so we took it for them to fix it but like a year later it died. lol Then last time I fixed it but the screen just went black on me. Whenever we turn the computer on the screen died down. I know with my sister's lap top she always warn us to unplugged it if it's full. But sometimes you forgot. lol Now we have to plugged it in all the time because the battery doesn't last a minute anymore. Yup it could be overhearting too. My brother has one of those notebook cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
