💻 Laptop & Motherboard Service Guide
Your laptop’s motherboard is its backbone—connecting the CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, and ports. If it fails, your laptop may not power on, show display issues, or behave unpredictably. Professional motherboard service is vital to restore performance, protect your data, and cut e-waste.
What You Can Try at Home
Before calling a technician, try these basic steps:
-
Check power source
Confirm the charger and cable work, and no power issues exist. -
Perform a hard reset
Remove the battery and power adapter, hold the power button for ~30 seconds, then reconnect. -
Reseat RAM and CMOS battery
These steps can resolve no-boot issues and BIOS errors. -
Test external display
Attach an external monitor to rule out screen or GPU issues.
If the laptop still doesn’t power on or shows no display, the motherboard is likely involved.
- Persistent no power or no POST (beep codes or LED indicators).
- Visual damage on board: bulging capacitors, burn marks.
- Faulty ports, loose power jack, liquid spill or smoking smell.
- Frequent shutdowns or overheating even after cleaning.
