Hardware Is this still laptop repairable?

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi, just want to ask for some technical advice. Do you think my laptop is still repairable Lenovo ideapad 3 gaming?

It suddenly shut down while gaming when I plugged it directly into a wall socket. I later noticed a burning smell near the charging port, possibly due to a problem with the socket.

Now, the charging LED works, and the power button LED blinks 3–4 times, but there is no display. I also noticed something unusual when I opened the laptop.

Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think it could still be repaired? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Looking to buy a new PC

2 Upvotes

Hi - I’m looking to buy myself a gaming PC. I want to run games like FC27, GTA etc.
My budget is roughly £1000 ($1327) with a bit of freedom to go over

Is this possible on the budget, as I googled gaming PCs and they were mostly over £2000.

TIA

So this is my laptop, lenovo ideapad, it had a problem before, whenever i used to turn it on, it automatically turned off after 3-4 minutes of use, and that was a persistent issue. So my father went and took this to a repair guy, who opened the motherboard and did some stuff to it, now it wont even turn on, he gave the money back but it doesn't matter. Now when i turn on the power button, only low battery light is showing, and nothing else, there is no noise of the fan or the laptop when i click the power button. I just need to get my data out from this that's it, what do i do?

It has an SSD, so I don’t think it’s an HDD noise. Fan maybe? Any help would most appreciated.

Software Help to Restore recovery partition.

2 Upvotes

Hi. So I did a new install of Win 11 on nephews computer. I'm new to this. It showed under disk management that it had almost as much space for a recovery partition as the regular C drive. I assumed he must have a 2TB drive and half was unallocated to anything but this, not even showing up as a drive letter.

So I used powershell to merge them. Oops. Now I can't create a recovery USB. My intention was good. Why leave half the drive unallocated or something. Turns out that this recovery drive was just a theory or something and his HD is just 1TB

Long story short, how can I undo this without another full install? I do want to learn from my mistakes.

Thanks.

Hi

Had to correct this post, it wrote the wrong thing. Its the video card that seems to be messing up. I have the ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card RX7900XTX PG 24GO I would love some help. I've been having issues with crashes and my computer freezing and two of my ports for display have stopped working randomly.

This is the error message I keep getting if anyone can explain it to me. Honestly unsure what it means

Hardware Constant, Non-Stop Page/Memory BSoD's - RAM Not the Culprit? At My Whits End!

Thumbnail
• Upvotes

Sorry for repost - pretty desperate for any help!

Ok - I'm not actually drinking; only balding from pulling my damn hair out over this. I am going to be as thorough as possible here to help everyone pinpoint where the problem is.

Constantly, Windows crashes with MEMORY_MANGEMENT; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA; FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE... you get the idea. Mostly, they are random - but commonly happen on: Startup; Sleep-Wake; Shutdown; High CPU load; gaming; and repairing system files.

Idk much about reading minidumps, but they are usually kernel-level processes that fail, and the are often pointing towards RAM being the culprit.

I suspected it was my RAM (4 x 16GB DDR4-3600Mhz CL16, "G-Skill Ripjaws V"). I recently tested each stick individually. Ran sfc /scannow with every stick, did everything to get it to BSoD again, and the result was only one stick crashed by itself. RAM #1 & RAM #2 had no issues. RAM #3 is the only one that crashed, failed the sfc scan (corrupted sys files). I think that is the faulty stick, because solo-testing RAM #4 without running DISM or system image fixes resulted in no corrupted files found in the sfc scan when testing

Ok. Sticks bad. Removed the suspected faulty stick and ran the other three - crashes. Same as before. Same errors, same causes.. I'm at my whits end here. If anyone knows what the hell's going on, and if I should just get a whole new PC.

Here are my latest MiniDump files. *Note: 14000-01, & 14484-01 happened while testing RAM #3 by itself. The others are from

Also, I dont know if this is relevant, but my Corsair CPU pump died right after a crash. Flashed red, CPU was at 75°C. Could be coincidence, but thought i'd mention it

Hardware How bad is this?

1 Upvotes

Not sure if it’s clear but the middle of the laptop is not as bright as the rest? I don’t know if this is bad, and if it is how bad. If it’s fixable I want to get it fixed. But If this isn’t / going to get worse I can live with it. I just got this computer of a seller and everything else works awesome. So I’m not sure if I should be worried about this. Main things I want to know.
A. What happened to the screen/ what’s it called
B. Is it fixable
C. Is it worth fixing
D. If I don’t fix it will it get worse

Also apologies if I tagged this wrong I know the problem is most likely the screen internally but I don’t know how else to tag this.
Thank you for reading!
