In reply to Felipe. @ Felipe, Do you mean replacing the LCD screen? Take a look at this guide. I think it's similar to your model.

In reply to Martin. @ Martin,

This is my first time trying to disassemble, and I have this issue. After I assemble everything back together, I can turn on (light turns blue and the fan is working) but the monitor shows nothing. Do you know what I might miss.

I don't know how far you disassembled the laptop but check the following: 1. Make sure RAM modules seated correctly. Try reseat them just in case. 2. Make sure the video cable plugged correctly.

In reply to Dag. @ Dag,

Iâ€m now considering to open it up to check if the USB ports and the cables connected are as they should be. Does that seem like a wise choice? Iâ€ve never opened up a laptop before and I fear that I might do more harm than good.

You can try booting up the laptop from a live Linux CD (Ubuntu OS from example) and test USB ports in Linux. If everything works fine in Linux but not in Windows, this could be OS related issue. Try reinstalling Windows OS if that's the case. Before you disassemble the laptop you should try to figure out if this is hardware or software related problem.

Hi! I’m having a problem with this laptop. the USB-port keeps on disconnecting every 2 minutes, then takes about 3-5 seconds and then its working again.
I’ve tried reinstalling the driver and I have also disabled the checkbox which allows the computer too turn of the unit.
