Same with mine. More like a year and a half old. Kills me to have to take the damn thing apart, but I've been doing that since I was a little boy (much to my parents dismay LOL).Quote:

I've often found that I need one working computer to fix another non-working computer. If nothing else, I can use the working computer to watch a YouTube video or order parts to fix the broken machine.
Some manufacturers are harder to work on than others. IMO, Apple makes a very nice machine but they are a royal pain to put back together after they have been opened. IMO, Dell is the easiest with ASUS a close second. Most upgrade parts are generic, but case parts like hinges and motherboards are totally proprietary.
Computers are a commodity and not worth much anymore.
Good luck with the fix.
2 is 1 and 1 in none. Damn right there. I used a tablet to follow along a YT video for the fix and it was fairly easy. A few times I had to kinda pull stuff apart that snaps together and I thought it was going to break, but it all went fine. $7.88 fix.Quote:
