Hello everyone, i opened this thread to ask for your guys suggestions.
TLDR: Is it worth to upgrade a crap laptop with broken gpu for 10% cost of a new laptop? Will be used only for office
I have Casper Nirvana NB 15.6 Laptop. Its specifications are
Pegatron A15 motherboard, i5-2450M 2.5ghz, 8GB of ram, intel hd3000 graphics, nvidia gt520m gpu and 300GB 5400rpm hdd.
It was and is used as office pc and it has been doing its job for a long time. 5 months ago some display issues were started. It is shown below. Its reversed i'm sorry.
I started to get this screen everyday, but this disrupted display was temporary. When i waited for 1-2 minutes, it was gone and display was fixed itself so i kept using computer.
While i used it for daily work, i was trying to find out why, i though it was gpu hardware problem, because i tried a fresh windows 10 install but i got black screen after i install the gpu driver. So i deleted nvidia drivers and went with internal gpu.
Now i haven't get any corrupted-distrupted display for 2 months with some odd solution i found. I installed nvidia gpu driver, i got black screen as i said before, then i was unable to see desktop because there was black screen after windows logo. So i closed laptops monitor and made it go to hibernation/sleep mode. After it went hibernation, i just reopened screen and pushed power button to wake it up, and it worked surprisingly (i didnt understand why). Now i just open my laptop, it sometimes opens normally (50-60% probability) and if i get a black screen, i just close the monitor and open it and it just works when it is awaken from hibernation.
Device manager shows nvidia card, nvidia control panel opens but i think i just use igpu still, because display is not really smooth. I don't know if i explain this well or not, resolution is fine but display just seems like hd graphics.
Now i want to buy an ssd to upgrade this crap instead of buying brand new laptop/desktop. Do you think its worth it?
