    Looking for a cheap school laptop, specific details provided

    I would prefer local for the warranty but that would be too much trouble for you. Just the model and brand of it so I can easily locate it would be fine. I would probably search around for the cheapest price soon as my 2 weeks school holiday is coming soon.

    Laptop motherboard issue

    Hi guys, thanks so much for helping. So I have this laptop which I just bought not long ago, maybe about 4 - 5 months. One day when I tried to power it on, it does not power on. Instead, the power led lights up and the fan starts working but the screen remains black. It took me about 10 +...
