Guest joshdonlan Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Is there anyone who can help with how to get my laptop back working. I think the battery is knackered, but it wont run off the mains either. When you try to switch it on, its on for a second then cuts out. Has anyone any ideas?

Has anyone any ideas? try removing the battery and disconect the mains lead, leave for a few minutes, then replace the battery and then the mains lead, and try to switch onhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif don,t know if this will work, but worth a go m8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 remove battery, hold on button down for 30sec, then plug mains charger in without battery. If that works replace battery and you should be sorted. They suffer a build up of static! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I believe the hard drive memury can be transferred, however, how this is done, I do not knowhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif refer to your local PC shop for advicehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 You can buy a unit that you remove your hard drive from the pc, connect it up and extract/read the data. Try maplins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joshdonlan Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks, but i think its dead Will have to look at removing the hard drive. Has anyone any experience of this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 It depends what make of laptop it is, some are easier than others to take appart. You may find a local repair shop that will do it for you and save you data to disc for you. Don't bother with the big stores they won't be interested and will want to charge you a fortune.
