LAPTOP REAPAIR

How much would it cost to fully repair the laptop with no warranty?

Hi

Exactly the same price as a new one, or less, 'cept you may get a warranty.

What is the fault/scope of the repair?

First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat

AND/OR - Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
AND/OR
HOW DO I USE DIAGNOSTICS?

HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows is a Windows-based utility that allows you to run diagnostic tests to determine if the computer hardware is functioning properly. The tool runs within the Windows operating system in order to diagnose hardware failures. HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows comes pre-installed on new HP computers, but if not on yours, download here:- http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp93001-93500/sp93457.exe

The top LCD portion of the laptop is hard to open and it’s blacked out. There is also a few keys missing.

Hi

I suspect a broken hinge and possibly damaged wiring.

So without a physical inspection you cannot get an accurate cost, which means a local repair shop.

However http://partsurfer.hp.com/search.aspx with the serial number or SKU: being entered may give the parts list of when it was built.

Otherwise I cannot really help.
