Where do you get a cheap laptop error analysis?

My laptop I bought at MediaMarkt does not work anymore.

After plugging in an HDMI cable, it will not turn on.

Not the first time that he gives up the ghost, but I have no guarantee now.

But I definitely need the laptop for my work. Since I'm financially short of cash I'm now looking for a workshop that can tell me what is wrong with my laptop. However, this should not be too expensive.

(It's only about the error analysis is not about the repair)

No noise, no picture, only the battery light is on.

You can also describe your problem here in more detail.

Does he make any noise? Is it connected to an active power source? Press the power button a little longer. Is something lighting up?

But I think you'd rather buy a new one. If he does not do any more, that sounds like a damage to the motherboard. The exchange is probably more expensive than a new device.

Re

Will not be worthwhile.

Something like that does not exist anymore.

Laptops are not repaired.

Unless it's a high-end device

But if you are short of funds.

Why do you buy at Mediamarkt?

Media market is expensive and bad price performance.

You will definitely cheaper / better get away if you buy a used new laptop.

If the motherboard is broken, which I suspect.

How so

Valid question.

If it works otherwise (without HDMI) it may be a short circuit.

If you are financially scarce, just give up on the HDMI. If you need him for presentations at work, ask the boss for a company laptop

Is not synonymous without

Information would be useful, even for you.

Yes, sorry, I noticed now too. I express habit after every sentence the enter key. Normally, then not a whole line is released. But here already.

The laptop has cost about 900 euro, sure that a repair would not be worthwhile.

No matter if with or without power nothing works. Also the emergency start head which one does not help only with the needle

Pe

I'm pretty sure that as a layman I can't fix him because I've already given him into the hands of experienced friends. These could achieve nothing.

This emergency button is also called reset button and is not for starting the device.

Is something lighting up? Any sounds?

With a 900 euro laptop, the motherboard alone will probably cost 600-700 euro, because it has a CPU (and if available GPU) on it and usually can't be easily removed on laptops.

Pe

I had no idea about laptops. Now I would never buy a laptop at MediaMarkt. Are there any sites that you can recommend for used laptops?

Pe

Only the LED which indicates that the laptop is charging. Otherwise nothing happens. No sounds no picture no nothing.

is

After all, it's not a total loss.

Maybe just the power button is no longer connected. Whereby… With laptops, the button is usually pressed directly on the board.

La

And who could rule out short circuit? And the need for the HDMI connection?

If the Lappy is still running, maybe that would be a possible (transient) solution:

You need USB 3.0 for FullHD and USB 2.0 for 800x600.

However, I have no experience with it. I had found something like that only by chance a long time ago.

Pe

The laptop does not work anymore. Does not make any noise or any other signs. Only the battery light is on.

Unfortunately, it does not work anymore.

I'm writing this up here, as it could go down a bit below.

Unfortunately, this "remote diagnosis" does not lead to a real goal.

What you have described so far is somehow a "near death experience" for the notebook. : - /

It only helps to transfer this notebook to a specialized service "druid". I can't give you any prices. You would have to ask individually.

Maybe you can restrict that still something with a location.

Otherwise, only the postal service helps.

La

Oh, I thought, only as long as the HDMI plug is inserted?

Pe

I live in Halle near Leipzig.

I would like to get an idea how expensive it will be before I send it in somewhere.

Homepage, email, telephone?

Inquiries are free.

Pe

In fact, a bug analysis costs 50 euro on most sites. Or you get them for free if you then do the repair there.

de

But at least the request was free.

Otherwise, this is a completely legitimate approach, because the error analysis also costs working time and "work performance".

This subsequent settlement is also common.

Now you have to weigh how you want to proceed now.

You can have the part examined and set a price limit that would be acceptable to you. Then they could start the repair directly.

Otherwise, they should call back and ask you first.
