Hello guys,.......my REQUEST is more for LEARNING,.............I am so damn EAGER to learn how to troubleshoot Laptops and Mobile Phones so that I could do it myself, and maybe someday, use the skills as my part time job.

 

My QUESTION is: Which school in Metro Manila teaches short courses on thes things? I know MFI ( Meralco) teaches them, but the classes are almost always dissolved because am the only one enrolling usually.

 

I would truly appreciate some tips on the school locations.

 

SALAMAT in ADVANCE guys n gals

If all else fail, and you've decided to just say WTF, I'm reformatting this gawddamn PC, think again. All of the trouble of installing those shitty softwares, all the troubles of downloading mp3s, the trouble of backups.

 

Say hello to Combofix. This utility is so damn powerful, it fixed most of my PC and laptop woes caused by virus infections. As a disclaimer, this is by no means act as an AV substitute. I'd like to call this tool as "The Last Resort". Like a double edged sword, it can make or break your PC. But since you've already decided to reformat it, what the heck , right? You just got to try this one out. From personal experience, 4 of them in total, none of em crashed. Extremely effective tool.

 

Please do read the disclaimers and the instructions on how to use Combofix on their web site at Bleepingcomputer.com. And again, this tool shall be used only as a last resort.

yung pentium dual core pwede (though hinde considered upgrade kasi mas mataas ang core 2 duo sa pdc, unless older c2d compared to new pdc with higher clock). you might need to update the bios of the motherboard if this will be the case. you cannot upgrade to i3, i5, and i7 kasi iba na ang socket ng mga yan.

Two Possible cause either cable flex or video card.. First try to test your laptop with

 

external monitor and if it work fine, the cause would be your cable flex..try flexing

 

the screen back and forth if didn't make a difference that would tell you it is not

 

the cable flex.

thanks. i tried it but flexing did not solve it. any other solutions? or does it have anything to do with the hard disk? cause it seems whenever the screen freezes the hdd does not seem to be responding as well.

try connecting a known good monitor to your laptop or getting in the CMOS screen , if its still the same then it may have something to do with your video card.

 

either unisntall video card driver or you need to replace the video card

 

otherwise, you need to replace your laptop screen.
