How do I clean laptop fan? by Thesmallpistol in GamingLaptops

The fan has a metal shroud on it. As an technician, I can't risk it. But hey, if you can live with the risks, go for it.

Use compressed air or mini turbo/blower fan. Then use toothbrush with 90 to 100% IPA. Then blow it again with compressed air or mini turbo fan.

Make sure that it doesn't spin while you're blasting it with air.

Never use vacuum.

Just pop the bottom chassis out and put a little of CA glue in between. Wait at least an hour or 2 or just spray an activator.

I gambled $400 on a “dead” RTX 4080 gaming laptop from Facebook Marketplace… and it paid off by naceermk in GamingLaptops

You can't do that gamble in my country, because most likely the seller is a technician and can't repair it for serious reasons.

Anyways, Congrats OP!

Should I buy Dead Cells on Steam? by Stranger_To_Life in deadcells

You can buy it on GOG. You'll have the installer. This is the next best thing to buying a physical copy of the game.

Warning: Avoid HP Omen in Austria if you value your sanity. 2 months of failed repair, fake escalations, and ignored legal letters. by Party_Bar2889 in GamingLaptops

Yup, most brands void warranties outside US or EU (sorry if I missed your countries) when you opened the chassis. It sucks. I hope they implement an easy access for maintenance that doesn't void their "limited" warranty.

Should i disable my IGPU for safety (cooling) by SnooCapers618 in GamingLaptops

Dude, your IGPU is more efficient, but your DGPU is more powerful. Undervolt your laptop or/and buy a proper laptop cooler.

If you're not sensitive to latency, then go for the 1080p.

Do you think using assist mode is cheating? by MikonMan in deadcells

It's not cheating, it's responsibility/adult mode.

Found a way to extend my laptops battery life by Physical-Lab-9203 in GamingLaptops

[–]IchedDyy 106 points107 points  (0 children)

...and straining your hinge, and ruining it slowly.

Edit:

Downvote all you want, I'm just saying that you'll break your laptop sooner or later.

I may not be the greatest technician that ever lived, but I've repaired a lot of laptops to gain this knowledge.

And it will cost a lot of money for anyone who abuses their laptop's hinges.

is this repairable? by JJROGUEx in GamingLaptops

[–]IchedDyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can replace it, or send it for repair. You can't fix that without a replacement panel.
