My Asus G60J Laptop Won’t Power Up

Posted by admin on May 26th, 2014

Your Asus laptop may not power up due to electrical surges or malfunctioning components.

Asus laptops aren’t any more susceptible to power failures than other brands, so your Asus G60J‘s power issues are most likely due to a few common causes. When troubleshooting laptop power problems, it’s important to note anything out-of-the-ordinary that may have occurred before the issue appeared, such as a lightning storm or recent damage to the laptop. While many power issues appear suddenly and without warning, a failing internal component may provide clues to impending failure, such as error messages or unusual laptop behavior.

Causes

A number of factors can damage your laptop’s adapter cord and internal components, but the three most common causes are factory defects, an electrical surge and equipment damage. Mistakes can happen at the factory, and your laptop may have left Asus with poor soldering on its power jack or a defective module in the motherboard. Electrical surges occur more often than most people realize, such as when the power reconnects after an outage or when a major appliance is used, and these surges can damage the delicate electronics and wiring of your laptop and adapter cord. Actual physical damage occurs when a drink is spilled on the laptop, or in cases of accidental drops.

Check The Obvious

A completely dead laptop could have a perfectly logical explanation that doesn’t require intensive, expensive repairs. Check the most obvious factors that involve a laptop’s charging or power abilities, such as the battery and adapter cord. Verify that the battery is seated properly and that the contacts are clean and free from corrosion. Check that the adapter cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet, and that the cord itself is fastened securely to the rectangular “brick” in the middle of the cord and into the laptop itself. Try another electrical device in the outlet to ensure it works, and test the adapter with a volt meter to check the power flow.

Internal Problems

If nothing seems amiss outside your laptop, the problem may lie within the case of your Asus. The most common faults that prevent a laptop from powering up are a malfunctioning power jack or a blown motherboard. If the power jack comes detached from the motherboard, the electricity supplied by the adapter cable cannot reach the battery. The laptop’s motherboard is a delicate piece of circuitry that supplies power and connectivity to all the other components within your laptop, and a short circuit could effectively kill your laptop without warning.

Solutions

AC adapters and batteries are easily switched out for new parts, which are available from the manufacturer or through third-party companies. The power jack can be repaired or replaced, but the expense and labor necessary to replace a laptop’s motherboard may exceed the value of the laptop itself. Depending on the age of your Asus G60J and its warranty status, you may be able to contact the company for assistance to correct the problem. If the warranty has expired or the machine is older, buying a new computer may be the best solution.

Why Does the Toshiba Laptop Charger Get Heated Up?

Posted by admin on May 23rd, 2014

Laptops are known for getting extremely hot when being used at times; the chargers are no different.

If you have noticed that your Toshiba laptop or laptop charger gets heated up frequently, then you are not alone. Overheating laptop chargers can result in sparks, which may cause a fire or permanent destruction of your Toshiba laptop. If you suspect that the charger is faulty, contact Toshiba and ask for a replacement.

Why is it happening?
There may be multiple reasons for the Toshiba laptop charger becoming overheated. One could be that the power adapter is too weak in wattage for the laptop. For example, if you have a 90-watt adapter and it is heating up, check with Toshiba to see if you can use a 120-watt adapter. Also if you are keeping your laptop plugged in while running power intensive components, such as more demanding tasks for your CPU and GPU, then your Toshiba will drain power from the charger more quickly, possibly causing it to become hotter.

Internal Parts
When the laptop charger becomes overheated, it may be an indication of the AC/DC converter beginning the fail. The AC/DC converter turns the current from alternating current, from your electrical outlet, to direct current, which is the form of electricity used by your Toshiba laptop. Overheating also can damage other internal components. The solder joints may only have partial contact due to heat expansion and contraction.

Recalls
Check Toshiba’s website for potential recalls on the charger or your computer. Look for the model number and serial number from your laptop and charger and see if either of the two are currently being recalled.

Prevention/Solution
Give the Toshiba laptop charger more exposure to the air when it is being used. You may want to put some pens, or other small objects, underneath the charger so that it has more air circulation. Turning the charger on its side will also help expose the charger to more air circulation. Never leave the laptop plugged in unattended because there is risk of fire. If you detect burning smells coming from the Toshiba laptop charger, you should unplug it immediately and monitor it until it cools down. Contact Toshiba to see if they will replace the charger and explain that it was giving off a burned odor.

Precautions
Do not put the hot charger near upholstery, blankets, pillows, cushions or paper. Anything that can catch fire quickly and easily should not be within reach of the charger.

Remove a CMOS Battery From a Sony Vaio Laptop

Posted by admin on May 4th, 2014

The CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) battery provides power to some of your computer’s basic functions, like keeping the date and time when your computer is turned off. If you find that your Vaio is constantly losing its clock settings whenever you turn it on, chances are the CMOS battery needs to be replaced. It isn’t the easiest task in the world, but if you don’t have the time or money to take your Vaio to a technician you can remove the CMOS battery yourself.

1.Open the Vaio screen until you can easily access the keyboard.

2.Locate the plastic bar that borders the top of the keyboard. Insert the flat head screwdriver at one end of the bar and gently pry it up until you can grip the edge with your fingers.

3.Pry the other side of the bar up with the screwdriver and pull out the entire bar, being careful to mind the ribbon cord that connects the keyboard to the Sony Vaio Laptopcomputer.

4.Remove the two screws on either side of the keyboard that secure it to the computer. Slide the keyboard up and place it to the side.

5.Remove the four screws on the exposed metal plate that covers the motherboard and remove it. You should now see the CMOS battery in the bottom-right-hand corner of the motherboard.

6.Remove the battery by gently pulling it up and off the motherboard. Replace it with the same model battery (available at any computer store or online). Reassemble the computer the same way you took it apart.
