Oh crap, i looked your budget wrong. Still im not gonna delete my post since its still budget GPU if you find a good deal. Only problem is you need a pretty strong PSU to handle it, my 780 Lightning needed 2x8pin and was power hungry. But overclocked it beats 1060 hands down, even max...

I would suggest minimum GTX 780 or 780ti used. I Used to have a 780 which i buy for about 80 euros, if you live in usa i would bet 780 is even cheaper used, probably around 70usd. I have great performance with these, 200 fps capped when not in populated area and minimum 100 fps (if more...

Yep ddr3 ram is really cheap for laptops and desktops right now. Thats a good deal. After you change ram and ssd if you still get problems with processor usage going 99% then reply here again and we figure it out. With desktop changing cpu is like 15minute job but with laptops it can take few...

Ignore what is said on that thread about cpu being soldered it is not in this model. Only problem is bios support and are you able to change it yourself. Like i said before if you have a friend who can disassembly it to pieces and get it back together working condition then you might go for it...

if its b940 then its socket, google cpu-z and download it, then open program and tell what you see at name and package. It should state its G2 socket. If this is the case follow kanewolf suggestion about ssd its nice boost but still get something like i7-2640M or i7-2620M. Thing is i had...

Just open task manager and performance, if you see processor cores constantly very high during load or whatever your doing when it lags then its procesor whats holding you down. And also kanewolf suggestion aabout ssd is really good. Look for 35w TDP max, i5 would be safe bet since some i7...

He should be able to replace CPU because Pentium B940 is G2 socket. However sometimes quad cores can be bios locked on toshiba boards

need model number its written on the motherboard. remove ac adapter and battery then press power button for 1minute. add in battery if it still has power and try to boot without ac adapter

ur link doesnt work. did you try boot with battery only if your charger was maybe killed?

never remove any components or add while you have battery or power cable connected, its better to press power button 10seconds after removing them even to remove any from circuitry. Try boot without touchpad , probably wont work, if it doent take pictures of motherboard high resolution model...

If it is a fuse and you dont have skill to replace you can just solder a wire there. This means next time there is no protection and you will kill more compoents.

"doing gpu reflow" thats one thing i have alot of experience in (amateur stuff) Before you start doing any reflowing what model and problem is in that laptop? Reflow is kinda temporary solution even if it is the problem and its not fun when it stops working after few weeks so best thing is to...

I have kootek cooling from here : https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/best-laptop-coolers It only ships from usa. Reduced around -5 to -10celsius on cpu and gpu. Best thing is to change thermal paste (liquid metal is best but not always necressary) and check that fan is working well and there...

Thats great news to hear. On these models its most likely almost always dying graphics card or northbridge but since your model dont have AMD gpu there was hope that it is fixable. I had numerous Dv6 series laptops with 2 caps lock blink and its been like 75% gpu/northbridge dying and 25%...

its most likely the dc jack
