8890 Little Problem just got a lot Bigger
I have an 8890 laptop. My hinges on the laptop, where you open and close the lcd screen cracked on the
edge. This has happened before, I just order some brackets and fixed it last time. So it happened again
after 2 years. I know the hinges are really tight so I open the laptop more than normal to get to the hinges
and loosen them so this would not happen again. Now the hinges are done. I am waiting for brackets to
come in the mail. But, this is where the problem gets bigger. I start putting the laptop back together so I
could check my e-mail on outlook. I power it up and no video wow. This is not looking good. I powered it up
and down a few more times. I saw that I could see the text on the lcd screen but super dimmed down to
almost nothing. I looked up this problem. Most people said that I would need to get an LCD/Inverter
replaced. So that like $99 there I still wanted to check my e-mail so I hooked it up to CRT monitor. Another
problem my raid 0 of two 60gig 7200rmp says status off line. So I look and see that only one drive is coming
up. I thought maybe I did not push the hard in all the way when I was re-building it. I check it and then
boot up again and nothing only one of the 60gigs is coming up. So I took off the hard drive that was coming
up on the post. Then I connected the one not coming up on the post in its place. But still did not come up. I
don’t know if my hard is really dead. To me it looks like it is any way of getting back my data on a raid 0? If I
get another hard drive?
Any thoughts?
