Friend of mine was having a problem with his laptop where-by it would turn off randomly after random amounts of time. He brought it to a guy to get fixed. I don't disclose the name of the person but he's based in the Terryland area and is a non-national. Had it for over a week and finally gave up saying he didn't know what…

They're different guys. It's strange, I've only ever had good service from the Woodquay guys. They're extremely nice, gave me cost price kit, and when I had to bring my laptop out to Terryland as they themselves wouldn't handle the taking apart and soldering aspect of it, it was done in two days to my perfect satisfaction.

Long story short, I found out what the problem was and laptop is fine now. The first guy clearly didn't have a clue what he was looking for. Initially I thought it was a fried capacitor that would die when it got hot (it didn't turn out to be that in the end)

What was wrong with the laptop?

Go here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056192796
See first thread "Laptop Repair".
You can also enter Galway in the Search this Forum box.

The reason I'm asking you to do this is that these threads most always turn into help desk sessions and the guys there can do initial trouble shooting and then direct you to a place.

If you want to start a thread there post model and what lights are on/off etc and what you've already done to try to figure it out.
