Title: Faxking laptops...
Post by: Hotgreensoldier on September 20, 2011, 06:49:54 PM
So...This week has been going pretty shitty.

My laptop's charger will make the screen turn EXTREMELY dark and make my laptop do strange noises at the top right corner. (of the base)

I can only charge my laptop when it is off, and even then it charges at an extremely slow rate. I have replaced the battery and searched in google but nothing appears to work. Anyone mind giving me some help?

P.S. Internet postponed again....Minimum is 2 weeks -_-


I am a huge hotgreen please throw tomatoes at my face.


It was the charger, it fucked up -_-

If you dont know what the "brightness" setting is, dont post. Plugging it in doesnt give a computer monitor an extra 1.21 gigawatts and magically make it brighter.
Anyways hotgreen, have you replaced the adapter itself? What "noises" does it make?

It's the laptop itself that makes the noise. The adapter just makes it start fucking up.

The noise is to the top right of the number pad.

Have you messed with your power settings? I doubt its causing those problems, but you can customize the advanced settings for almost all "power plans". I set a "cooldown mode" for mine which lowers the processor runs at 75%

New news.

I just found out that the bottom right of my screen is EXTREMELY hot which leads me to think the charge is outputting it in the wrong place or it's putting too much energy.

Any tips?


P.S. I dunno how to use external monitor. @deacon, nope

Look on your sides or back for a VGA(blue) or DVI(white) slot, get vga or dvi cord and connect laptop to monitor. Go Control Panel ->Hardware and Sound -> Connect to an external display (Under Display in blue), click detect then click identify. Change Display to the number the identify showed on the monitor. Profit?

If you have friends that pull pranks on you, check and see if they changed it where the laptop will dim more when hooked to a power cord than it would on battery.

Which is why I'm a fucking retard.

Wasn't going to buy another one based on a assumption and the noises lead me to believe it was the laptop itself ;_;

Sorry for double post but...

SHIT,

I WAS WRONG AGAIN.

I put it on full bright, a few seconds after the screen fkd up again.

Here's my final conclusion...

When charger is put in, the brightness goes higher right? Well in my plan that I'm currently using, even if it's charged it still says a bit dark. If the screen goes bright the screen fucks up and I hhave to close it and reopen it.

Again pics/video please :3

Seems like if your laptop is dying. I'm not sure. See a computer technician?

I think I know what's happening.

The old battery was fubar and burned a shitload of the things in the laptop.

I've replaced it but it already did perm damage. I'll just stick with low brightness for now.
