I have a series 3, and I have terrible overheating problems. It's so bad that I have to use a cooling pad for light gaming, even for something like Minecraft or Kerbal Space Program. I've also had issues where the laptop will shut down due to overheating, though this usually only happens during...

If you haven't made any software changes, it's most likely a physical failure. My suggestion: Get a cheap Logitech wireless mouse and use that.

Are your fans running? Something that comes to mind is the CPU overheating, which it'll do if the fans aren't running. Once it gets to a certain temp, the mobo will switch off to protect itself.

Unfortunately you may have fried the motherboard by trying to turn it on after water has gotten into the case. If you spill water on anything electrical, take out the battery immediately, unplug it, and cover it in an airtight container with as much rice as it takes to cover it. Let it sit for a...

Welcome to the forums. First things first, please Don't Type Like This. It makes your posts difficult to read. Secondly, yes, you can order a new motherboard, and it should fit with no problems, provided you order a direct replacement. That means it has to be the same SKU as the one you're...

We know its not a GPU problem because it's putting an image out, just not through the LCD. If you can, I'd take the bottom off and try to trace where the wires come from the LCD to plug into the motherboard. One time the plug that connects the LCD wires to the motherboard somehow got unplugged...

First try plugging it into a monitor/TV via the HDMI/VGA plug. If it shows up on the monitor then you know you have a bad LCD. If it doesn't, then you know you have a GPU.

SSD's are the same physical size as HDD's. You should be able to fit any drive. Unless you're talking about capacity, in which case, I don't believe there is a limit. I know that laptop shipped with a 1TB drive, so you could always put one in. I wouldn't recommend that though, it'd be...

That's a shame. Both of those laptops are around £600, if bought in the US. If it were me, I'd try to find a combination of the two, something like this.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Samsung EVO line. It's what I'm getting for my new laptop. Hardware.Info did an endurance test on one, and found it give out after ~75 years worth of average user (average being 10GB/day writes.)

What exactly are you asking? You have a few different questions in there, but your post is so poorly worded that I'm not sure what you're asking. Fans are pretty much always going to be on in a PC, no matter if its a desktop or a laptop. Anything you do is going to generate heat.

Its hard to say. The website you linked isn't the greatest, and the Lenovo doesn't show many stats. However, looking at Lenovo's website and comparing their models to the Asus, I'd probably pick the Asus. The fact that it has a discrete GPU means (for me,) that it's an automatic winner...
