My 7520 Adventure "Never Again Land"

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello all,

 

 

I purchased my 7520 3 years ago for 800 CND and was happy with it.  It replaced a dell that i had for 3 years that had gotten dropped by a friend.  This PC worked very well for about a year...then little problems started creaping up...

 

First it started overheating, then shutting down on it's own.  Cleaning weekly helped that

Then it started to not boot up.  formatting fixed that

 

Several System restores for various issues...lag, graphics issues etc.

 

last year my DVD rom went nuts.  Now,  9/10 it will not be recognized.  Sometimes when it is in the bios and windows...it will appear for about 30 mins...when i try to put a cd in...it vanishes

 

Reinstalled OS again...went to windows XP...Got en external CD drive...

 

and now...

 

This:

As you can see 1/2 the screen is white.  When plugged into an external monitor it does not do that.  There is nothing in the bios the screen isn't cracked.   Mobo failure?  Graphics Card?  don't see how...Thoughts?

 

 

Merci!

What did you mean by "cleaning weekly"?

I would take the notebook apart and cleaning inside real good, applying new thermal paste as well. Your picture pointed to a possible failing LCD

cheers ...
