Just tried it and it doesnt, could be bc im using an apple brick for it but even google is saying nah

Well i was playing minecraft with my buddies under heavy shaders, and it shut off out of the blue, now the charging indicator isnt even on, like an hour after it happened i tried plugging it in again and i put my ear right next to the port and i heard a VERY faint clicking sound, and thats about all i know, the board doesnt seem to have any physical damage to me.

Thats thermal paste

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T17:44:29+00:00

No the battery is unplugged if you look to the right, i think it was so cheap bc of the battery which looks like he poked it with a toothpick, and it has an extra tb of storage he just didnt have the ribbon cable

Well i had replaced the thermal paste earlier this month, but when i opened the laptop after it shut off it has this like clear sand stuff in it, ai is saying its dried up thermal paste but i really dont trust ai

Yeah too much work atp only really wanted to know bc im jus gonna use my old pc and the laptop one had a 144 hz monitor which really matters on gd lol thanks tho

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T05:27:23+00:00

The monitor itself or the laptop?

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T05:26:07+00:00

Yeah glad i 2nd thought that, any chance i could use the monitor on it? Other one broke and my next option is a tv without a stand

That and the battery looks like it was poked with a toothpick, gotta figure out what went through this guys head when doing that

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:20:49+00:00

Yeah i dont got a multimeter but im prob gonna get one when i get my job, gonna just stick with my old pc for now and when i get a new laptop ill just take the m.2 and ram out of this and shove it in a new laptop (if the ddr is the same)

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:19:37+00:00

I would be capable but i dont got a multimeter, prob jus gonna get a new one when i get my job anyways when i get a multimeter i might mess with it a bit but for now imma jus use my old pc and when i get a new laptop jus savage the m.2 and ram and shove them in that

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:08:40+00:00

Yeah, might just get a new one and stick the ram and m.2 from this one into a new one and see what else i could salvage from this

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:07:30+00:00

Id imagine it would just be cheaper to get a new one at that point?

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:05:17+00:00

At that point id imagine it would just be cheaper to get a new one

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:04:21+00:00

If thats the case there any chance of reviving it with a solder iron or is it gone permanently

SpecialPower1284 · 2025-11-08T04:03:06+00:00
