Laptop Repair - Troubleshooting Toshiba, Dell, HP, IBM Acer and Sony laptops
The first step in repairing any laptop or notebook is troubleshooting the problem accurately. For example, some people will run out and buy a new battery on the assumption it's failed when the problem is a frayed wire or a bad connector on the power cord, something that can be fixed with a little solder or electric tape. Likewise, a "dead" LCD screen could be a mainboard or video adapter failure, a bad inverter or a burnt out backlight. [1] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
Power Failure
The troubleshooting process always starts with identifying what works. If the problem is power related (whether battery or a question of the laptop not turning on) the first step is establishing that power is getting to the laptop. This means checking that the LED on the transformer brick is lit, and if it isn't (or doesn't have an LED), that it's plugged into a good power outlet. You can check that by unplugging the transformer and simply plugging in a lamp.[2] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
Video Failure
The first thing to check in cases of complete video failure is the power status, as detailed above. If you can always hear your laptop fan when you turn on the laptop and now you can't it's not a video failure, it's a power or mainboard failure. The next troubleshooting step is to connect an external monitor with a standard VGA connector, whether a CRT or an LCD. If your notebook won't light up the external monitor, it's extremely likely that either the motherboard or the internal video adapter[3] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
Hard Drive Failure
Fortunately, laptop hard drives are the one really generic part (aside from most memory) that you don't have to worry too much about replacing. I just pricewatch or call dirtcheapdrives and buy the closest capacity match, which is usually somewhat larger. Depending on the model, you may be able to really upgrade to a much bigger drive on a replacement, but you probably won't get the benefit of a faster interface on an older notebook and the BIOS [4] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
Ports and Power Connector
Laptops are sometimes plagued by internal failure of the physical connectors, like the modem or network port seems to be detached within the case, making it tough to get a good connection, or the power connector solder joint to the board breaks. The only way to fix these problems is to open up the body of the laptop, determine exactly what has broken,[5] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
How to fortify damaged power jack connection in a laptop
In order to replace the power jack in your laptop you’ll have to remove the jack from the motherboard as I explained in the previous post: Replacing DC power jack. While removing the jack you can accidentally pull out the internal copper coating (I’ll call it a sleeve) from the inside of the “+” terminal as it shown on the picture below.[6] - thanks to laptoprepair101.com More details.

Laptop is dead. How to troubleshoot the problem.
When you plug in the power adapter and press on the power button, there is no signs of life at all. The laptop will not make usual noises, LEDs will not light up, the fan will not spin, the screen is blank and black, etc… In short, the laptop is dead[8] - thanks to laptoprepair101.com More details.
Illustrated Laptop Repairs and Upgrades
One laptop failure that is usually worth repairing is the hard drive. Laptop hard drives have a higher failure rate than desktop hard drives, assumedly because they get bounced around more while operating. Notebook computer hard drives come in two flavors - the ones that are easy to get at, just a single screw or a even a slide in component, and those that require you to crack the laptop open. This Sony VAIO laptop hard drive repair is one of the latter. One of the few upgrades you can actually do on a notebook computer is the memory,[9] - thanks to daileyint.com More details.
