Nope. It timed out or something. Back to the way it was.

Could also be bad memory ? How many memory sticks is there? Maybe try pulling out all memory sticks and then insert one by one and see how that goes ?
Matt, have you tried disconnecting the battery for 24hrs or cleaning the maf sensor??????Quote:

Pull the sticks out by unlatched the tabs on the side, and pull all sticks out. Then insert one stick and try and PC, if it fails, take that stick out and try the other, if it fails as well , well then highly unlikely it is the memory sticks rooted. But at least that is an easy elimination.

But still nothing.
Here is hoping you had the PC off when taking the sticks out lol. Or you mean it span quicker without the "said" stick ?Quote:

Might be a time for shop to take a look and replace offending part under warranty... :animierte-smilies-f
It's a bummer these boards don't have a speaker or an led display so you could hear a beep if there was an error. I ended putting one on myself and had no post beeps.
….................... On the move
Will a cpu from a laptop work for elimination purposes?
A lot of CPU's are very difficult to take out of a laptop because they are sort of embedded as one.Quote:

I think it will depend if your motherboard supports the cpu that's in the laptopQuote:

I would go to a local computer shop and buy a second hand PSU to eliminate that first.
Edit: Hodge is 2 fast! *L*
im glad you came to that conclusion mate, its the same as my thoughts as per mine and matts discussion last nightQuote:

Took it elsewhere and $80 later I have an answer. So now its just going through warranty with the seller. Joy.
yeah wow so the gfx card huh? very unusual. its odd they wouldnt look at it, even for a quote fee? you should seek out recompense for the $80 from pccasegear. good luck with the warranty claimQuote:

MSY are stockists but will also diagnose faults(doesnt mean they will repair them just replace the parts), for a fee as all other computer shops do... they are just biggerQuote:

Spewing your mobo didn't have on board video would have been instantly clear card was at fault when I asked about it .
At least you're getting somewhere.
Curious , what card and brand ?

Hmmmm, not sure that is right mate. If a shop refuses to test or even look at something for you then they shouldn't be open. I recently had a similar experience where I bought some products on line and one failed. I took it to MSY and they charged me 20 bucks to confirm it was faulty.Quote:

This is why it pissed me off so much. Why would they turn away a paying customer. I paid $80 which didnt worry and thats $80 that msy north brisbane will never see nor will I ever ho back there and I will certainly be passing on my experience.Quote:

my lap top which erased all my pictures.
Ive sort of got it up an running but want to reboot it again so I can set it up better.
Its just a basic Acer laptop AspireE14. any help would be great, Im using my older laptop
in the meantime,Most pics I think are in this Laptop and my old phone so hopefully alls not lost
Turn the screen the other way then
You have probably pressed the rotate screen key combination while wiping the keyboard.Quote:

Nah its Kaput, I might take to Airport West and see ifsomeone there can fix it.Quote:

Hard drive generally survives dampness and spills. It's the diodes on the motherboard and ram solders where it short-circuits and especially if it was on while spill happened.Quote:
