Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Larry T]

I had a laptop that did that.  One of the connectors was bad -- ended up 
costing more to fix than it was worth.  It would act like you said yours 
does - "click" and it was gone... no warning, no sound, no nothing - 
just Off.  Since I assume you are working on a desktop you might have a 
connector, plug or similar either loose or damaged.


Good luck -

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Scott Ritchey]

Sounds like an intermittent problem in the motherboard.  You might try a fan
blowing right on the MB to see if that prevents the problem.  Of so, it's
something thermal and you'll probably play hell finding it.  I had similar
symptoms with two PCs that were fixed by "new" motherboards from online
surplus places.

On the other hand, maybe you'll be lucky and spot a fractured solder joint
that opens when hot.

Since the person that had that problem left the company, and I re-imaged
his computer, I'm not sure if the problem he reported was hardware or the
software he had on it (or both).

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

The last lenovo I needed serviced got a new motherboard and power button.
 For whatever reason, the power button had failed.  I'm not even sure it
needed a motherboard.  The guy who had it complained his laptop would shut
off and got hot.  Oddly the fan was not what I would consider dusty, but it
was blown out.  Is the fan cooling unit properly attached to the CPU?
 Since the new motherboard/power button was installed there have been no
problems.

If all the dust is cleaned out and the air flow is good, what

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Brian Toscano]

i have seen plenty of hard drives fail SMART tests but work completely
fine.  sometimes it is just a matter of what testing they support.  i have
not seen a bad hard drive make the computer shut off.  i would be looking
at failed/failing components such as motherboard and daughter cards
including the connections between them that may support charging, etc.

since you have 2 of these you could try replacing parts from one to the
other, but the risk is that you'll end up damaging the good one.
 personally i would just junk the one that doesn't work unless you have a
support contract.

Lenovo has a very detailed hardware manual on their support site for every
model.  The manual will enable anyone with normal skills to R&R any
component.  Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, some steps are not
intuitive.

Bad battery charging circuit then.  Don't know if it's a separate part like
it is in a Mac or not, but if it is, it can be easy or nearly impossible to
change, depending on the design.

On my old TiBook it was easy accessed by removing the bottom cover, on the
14" G4 replacement required removing nearly the entire guts of the laptop.

A bad battery, or more likely in a Powerbook or Macbook, a damaged DC  
in board.  Works fine on the charger, but will not charge the battery,  
so the battery is too low all the time to power the computer.

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Russ Williams]

When you boot up the lappy do you feel any air coming from the exhaust port?
If not then the fan is clog.
I replaced the fan in a HP lappy with the same processor a few weeks ago.
Unit would power up then shut down after a min or two. Out came the 
canned air. Blew out the
fan intake ans exhaust. Fired it back up and same problem. Removed the 
case and found the exhaust
port has about 3/8 inch of fuzz packed into it, cleaned  it out and 
tested the fan. It was so clogged up
it would barely turn. Ordered an new one and replaced it and the heat 
sink compound on the

processor. Customer very pleased.

Got any memory you can swap out, or can you just start with two sticks and

The lower the better. 50 deg.C is OK, 70 deg.C is not.

GPU = Graphics Processor Unit.

In other words, the processor that runs the display.  It's a separate processor 
(from the main processor) in most laptops and desktops.

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Greg Fiorentino]

I'm not familiar with that model, but you can test for this type of failure
by pressing on the palmrest where the GPU is located.  This should tell you
whether the PU is making intermittent contact.  I would think that Lenovo
had corrected this engineering problem by the time the x100e had come out.

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

Which model Lenovo?  Which GPU (Intel or ATI)?  Some surface mount GPUs fail
eventually on some models caused by MoBo flexing.  This will show those
symptoms.

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing

[Dan Penoff]

I found it most helpful when I was working out in the schools and some kid 
would bugger up the admin account trying to get into the machine.  It has a 
very good DOS based utility for resetting the default Admin account in Windows.

Some of the hard drive utilities are a little dated, but still handy.  If this 
can't start up a machine, you're pretty much done.

If you were having temperature problems they wouldn't show up like that.  You 
have a problem with memory, I'm betting.

I've said this before, but I was amazed when I started getting into servers and 
desktops more how many times faulty memory can cause problems

Got any memory you can swap out, or can you just start with two sticks and swap

Re: [MBZ] hardware testing times

[Hendrik and fay]

I have a widget that sits on the desktop that tells me how hard the CPU 
is working, as well as how much RAM is being used and if it goes into 
swap. Right now the CPU is sitting on 1% and goes to 6% as I type, RAM 
is at 34% and swap is 0%.
My guess would be flaky motherboard, all the problems I have had with 
computers are motherboard or hard drives failing. Power supply (dying 
battery) is another thing but I don't use laptops much.

[MBZ] hardware testing

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Does anybody know of a program (prefer free) that will test all 
the hardware in a PC?  Memory, MB etc?  I got a laptop that will 
randomly shut off with no warning.  Not sure if its a memory 
problem, getting too hot or something else.
