7700 in depot....again..

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Well, it seems that my laptop has taken a dive...again. This time it seems that its leaning towards a processor issue. Once again my laptop will not boot up. As soon as i press the power button, all I see is the power indicator light and nothing else, no display, no activity.

A few months ago I had a similar issue in which they replaced my motherboard. All seemed well with the exception of getting a stuttering sound in conjunction with a stutter in the graphics every time the fan kicked on and off. This became extremely annoying considering how frequent this would happen throughout gaming.

But now i get absolutely no response with my laptop. I sent it in to depot the other day in which they suspect that it is a processor issue. Hopefully they will replace it and solve both the booting issue, AND the stuttering issue.

Good luck - hope everything gets repaired this time so you can be totally cured from gaming interruptus.

Well, once again, It ended up being the motherboard. So that makes 2 motherboards in less than one year I have gone through. Unfortunately, they did not examine further the stuttering issue that I had, which was an issue with BOTH motherboards prior. Hopefully this time it will be resolved.

On a good note, they replaced my previous revision motherboard with the most recent revision(5.3)! And i confirmed with AW that all I need at this point for a 6800Ultra upgrade would be the graphics card itself and the AC adapter. So there is a good in all this, and the bad is something to be checked up on when i receive my laptop. In either case, it would be good to see my baby again!
