Hello notebook forum geniuses...
I have a problem in my beautiful 9880 that i failed to solve
When i first bought the 9880 the graphic card was messed up and sager shipped me a new one and everything worked fine on the 9880 until its adapter started falling apart and died. I had to ship a new one outside the states from sager website.
The laptop screen used to go black at first while playing games and then i would slap the graphic card area and it would come back again but this doesnt work anymore.
It works OK on extrernal screen but that didnt solve everythin.
Symptoms:
1) Mobilmeter temperature reader shows no temp of the pc only shows HDD temp i guess.(using external screen of course)
** EDIT 1** ----> Mobilmetre working fine after checking all cables again and loose screws.
2) Playing games on it (low or max settings) causes it to shut down after a maybe 30 min of playing, This is the most thing that annoys me.
3) I can use it for a long time of normal use like websurfing, chating..etc but it occasionaly shuts down with no previuos warning and no blue screen.
4) Fans have a problem turning up even at automatical or contineus configuration from bios. Id have to press fn+f2 most times to make fans spin. Heat sensors r missed up and i think this causes the sudden shutdown.
**EDIT 1** ----> Fans working gr8 after opening the case and checking cables and cleaning.
5) When turning up the laptop sreen shows the upper 3/4 black and abt lower 1/4 fading green and other colors (back light working) but it isnt like artifacting this is different .Screen seems to be like working on low hertz. I can see slow refreshing of black color occuring.
5) No weird noises.
6) DVD,card reader,sound, keyboard,touchpad,front time,
fans(fn+f2),wireless+bluetooth,HDD (60gb) and all other stuff are all working properly.
What i had done till now:
1) The computer is clean (from inside to outside) no dust closing fans or gpu.
2) Tried With and Without Battery it but it didnt make a difference.
3) Reseated the lcd cables and fan calbles.
4) Hooked up external 17" lcd. It is acceptable but as i said i cant get Temp. readings and sudden shutdowns can occur.
5) Reseated the graphics card and found that one of the its 4 screws is not longer attached to the motherboard coz its anchoring piece went off with the screw (thot this might be a cause for wt is happening but i pushed the card from that particular screw area and the other 3 areas while turning the laptop on and it was the same). Hitting the graphics card area used to bring up the screen wen it went black.
6) Tried numerous nvidia ultra Drivers and put back originals.nth again.
7) Reseated CMOS battery. Also restored BIOS defaults.nth
8) THEN i give it to a repair centre here hoping they'll have an idea how to fix this brand that no1 knws here.Nth is even similar to the sager so it stayed 3 weeks and 2dy i got that they couldnt figure out the problem.[/color]
I know this is a long thread but it has been chanlenging, i dnt knw who will figure it out it might be one of u ppl. Im moving soon so ill try to fix the 9880 there.
What could it be ??
The new power adapter, graphic card, motherboard,fried electric regulateros that others on this forum discussed,or maybe a driver from laptodriver2go.com 100 series could have caused it ...
If i missed to post smth here tell me, ill be checking this thread on daily basis around the clock, lol !
