Hi everyone:
Got this for supposing to be a fan cleaning. User said it got overheated and shuts off.
Cleaned out the fur balls on the fan. Took off the heatsink and removed the "silver foil" that was actually pinched/ripped. Applied AS and reinstall.
However, the laptop actually cannot stay on with any kind of heavy load.
It can stay on the BIOS screen for a long time. The fan kicks in every now and then when the heatsink for the CPU is getting warm. As soon as the heatsink is cooler, the fan shuts off.
Since user has the HDD, I decided to put a Memtest disc into the optical tray and let it run. However, as soon as the optical disc started spinning, the whole laptop shuts off.
After it shut off, you must unplug the ac power for say 30sec before you can power up again.
Guys, what am I looking at here?
Note; CPU is Intel Mobile, not AMD. Motherboard sticker says 381062-001
