I've got a brand new iPower 5542 laptop. On the second day of having it, the GeForce 4 Go overheats, burns out, and now I can't see anything. Fun fun fun.

Just thought I'd have a moan, and see if anyone else knows of this.

You can actually leave a pc on 24/7 or longer...
maybe not a laptop since it has less cooling probably.

My laptop is buggered up too..

I love my laptop, now it's broken. :(

For some reason, whenever I 'try' to charge it, it won't. No lights come on. Nothing.
And it smells really bad around the charging hole at the back, like burning.

So, I can't moan really, because it was my fault leaving it on 24/7!

I was speaking to someone about it the other day, and they said it probably won't be able to get fixed.
They said, some laptops can't be opened to look inside.. is that true?

Seeing as I'm a little curious about these things, I decided to open mine up out of pure anger.. well, it didn't. :D

I think a certain wire needs soldering.. blah blah.. so I was told.

Damn technlogy.

c.b. are my initials just a habit really as thats how i post on all my other forums and on my personal e-mails.

Laptops are'nt very upgradeable at all, only RAM, HDD, CDrom\rw\dvdrom and in some cases CPU can be upgraded.

What does C.B mean at end of your posts amd_man.

Id imagine laptops are harder to upgrade.
