Various Problems with Dell Lattitude D820
Now, I have previously posted about my old laptop losing the torque in
its hinge. Now I have an assortment of new problems and I don't know if it is the time to get a new one or just replace some components. I should probably tell you some major things about it. In July, I spilt a Coke-a-cola on my computer. I let it dry out (which was hard as I was homeless at the time). The next day I found the newspaper I had put between it was soaked, it still refused to boot, and it was sticky. I was able to pay for the thing to be given a Hydrogen Peroxide bath. After I got that back, the computer had the following problems: The touchpoint did not work correctly, and the left speaker failed to work anymore. The touchpad was glitchy too but that was resolved by physically disconnecting the touchpoint. Now after this had happened it seemed fine and dandy. When I got my new place everything seemed ok. Now, I have issues that I don't know if they are related to the initial coke-a-cola spill. My Hard Drive is audibly struggling. I am afraid it will fail soon and am backing up data. I can easily replace the HDD, so this isn't a major concern.Next, the torque in my laptop hinge went out (as I asked about before) so now I must prop up the screen in order to use the laptop. Next, my laptop battery shorted out (just a few days ago). First, the battery only held a 30 minute charge, now the BIOS fails to find it. I have confirmed it's the battery, not the contacts. Now, the CMOS resets itself when I unplug the laptop. Also things seem to drive up the RAM and CPU usage that should not, such as casual web browsing on non-Web **** websites. (I use Surf). Opinions on whether or not I should spend my time replacing each part or should I just get a thinkpad? -- |-----/ | Se7en / The One and Only! | l / | 0x73518A15BA3C1476 / | http://koolkidsklub.tech/~se7en/ |
