I Fried my laptop and not sure which bit I’ve damaged!!!
LockedI was trying to repair a dodgy connection on my mouse recently. I soldered the wires back onto the usb port and plugged it back into my laptop. One of the wires came loose and in my wisdom I used the sodlering iron on the plug while it was plugged into the laptop…..
Ok I’m stupid, I should have known better after always wearing latex gloves whenever I normally do such computer repairs, but nonetheless…. It shut down immediately and now wont restart, I’ve tried the startup discs and even on the first one it won’t start. The message I’m getting is Loading RAMdisk image and a white line going across the screen when trying to load this. If I start in normal mode or last known good configuration it tries to load the windows start up screen and freezes.
Is it my hard drive I’ve fried or RAM, any ideas so that I can replace it?
…and please feel free to join the barrage of stupid names I’ve already called myself…lol :O)
