In reply to Ludwig. @ Ludwig, Visit irisvista.com/tech/ for disassembly guide. The SMOS battery shown on the step 12, it's located on the lower side of the bottom cover. Do you see the green part on the bottom? This is the battery. In order to access it you'll have to go though steps 1-12 and remove the palmrest assembly. Unplug the old CMOS battery from the motherboard and replace it with a new one.

In reply to shakir. shakir, First of all, test your laptop with an external monitor. If the external image has same problem, this is the video card failure. The video card cannot be replaced because it's built into the motherboard.

Hi there!
I have old Tecra S1 (2006 I think…)
The cooling fan is very, VERY noisy lately. I am afraid it will stop working,
and CPU will overheat…
Can you help me where can I find the fan?
This is the number from the back of my laptop.

Serial # X3019080SU
Part # PT831U-14E5T7X

P.S. the “5” and the “S” are so similar that I hope I’ve read it right…

Thank you in advance!
