I have a Lenovo Flex15 that has developed several air bubbles near the bottom corners and on the right side. Is there any way to remove them without having to disassemble the screen and likely have to replace the digitizer?

After extensive work on this laptop I found a faulty ribbon cable between the switch and motherboard. Now this computer performs rock solid. Strange problem, simple solution, just difficult to find.

I purchased a Lenovo Flex15D with this peculiar problem. If the charge cable is plugged in the laptop will not start or even show the power light being on. Unplugging the charge cable the laptop starts normally. The old trick of removing the battery and charge cable and pressing the start button...

With no OS installed hp laptop darkens after BIOS but can see light shadow of display. In BIOS the display darkens. Shutting and opening the screen the display comes back on. I did get an external monitor to work but even this stopped working. is this just a loose cable or maybe something else...

From what I have read I can install either a Phenom 2-N660 dual core or a Phenom 2-N930 cpu in a hp g6-1b50us. One catch. Both alleged replacement processors run at 35w and the factory installed Phenom 2-650 is a 25 watt processor. Since I'm not really familiar with this HP model's cooling...

What processor is compatible to upgrade a Toshiba Satellite Pro L500-EZ1520? I have a spare P9700 that's faster and requires only 28 watts. Might this work?

Sorry to differ with you but the Q9000 is a mobile processor. Source: CPU-World.com http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/SearchSite.pl Enter Q9000 in the search.

I have a Toshiba L555-S7001 in pristine shape but has a slow T4400 cpu. I'd like to swap it out for one of my Q9000 cpu chips. Will this processor work with this laptop. Both are in the same cpu family and same socket P connection. I would love to put a quad core into this lagging system...

Actually I found you can replace this laptops i3 cpu with either i5 or i7 processors with a G1 socket. I found information on the CPU World web site that has cross references for different processors. The trick is to match the cores and socket.. Both are dual cores but the i7 has 4 threads with...

I contacted HP forum but nobody knew how to find or even if this part is available. In the long run any suppliers I contacted didn't have this item in stock either Most didn't know what I was talking about. I only saw one supplier listing this part and was out of stock. As a result I ended up...

what cpu upgrade is available for Toshiba L555-S7001? UPDATE: I know that some laptops have soldered CPU's. I just finished upgrading my L505 from an i3 to i7. Both are dual cores but gained a higher frequency and is much faster. I also upgraded two HP's from i5 dual cores to i7 quad cores and...

mcinator: Here's an answer from another source. Source: You can install an i7 but it must be a Sandy Bridge CPU (i7-2XXXM) to work with the chipset. You should use one that was supported initially by the BIOS: (i7-2620M, i7-2630QM, i7-2670QM, i7-2720QM, i7-2760QM, i7-2820QM, i7-2860QM...

What i7 processor can I replace my Lenovo T520 that has an i5-2520m processor? Since the i5 is a dual core is it possible to use a quad core? Anyway, what will work best? Thank you ahead of time for your assistance.
