Computer Repair in Rosarito Beach

jeans - 10-22-2012 at 06:53 PM

My year-old Dell laptop died in its sleep.. It won't boot up. I turn it on...the light flashes on and it shuts down immediately. The screen does not even come on . It is as if the battery was dead only it is plugged in and has power.

Where should I take it in Rosarito?

Good thing I have a desktop.

thanks...jeans

HOLA

you might first try removeing the battery and clean the contacts with the proper cleaner (deoxit) and also where the power cord inters and both sides !! on the batt you can try using a #2 pencel eraser and follewd up with air Or Q-tip !!! that should get it up and running !! wish you luck !! K&T:cool: PS..make sure you have good line voltage !! aka the wall outlet is up to snuff !!! 99 of wireing in mex is .............

maybe a CMOS battery. I think theres a computer repair shop on the main street thru town in the twin buildings that are connected by a glass tube walkway connecting the buildings,if that makes any sense. oceanic or something like that?

cmos batts lasts a long time

I unplugged it, took out the battery, cleaned all the connections like you suggested, put it all back together and it came back from the dead!

Saved me from taking it in and a repair bill!! Thanks!!!

I used to be a repair technician with the phone co. Sometimes taking everything apart and putting it back together works. I should have known that! Thanks for the reminder!
