If it is a bad solder joint or a hairline crack in a track a trick i used to use was open the machine and get the room dark. Then press the board in the place where you think the problem lies\. if you are lucky you may see a spark where the break is, then you can bridge it with a piece of wire. Only works where there is a good current flowing, and watch out for any areas of high voltage. ” I think you’ll have to replace the motherboard.”

I need to install a new video card for my C810 Dell. How do I do this

Do you know if your laptop has a discrete video card? In most laptops the video card is integrated into the motherboard and cannot be removed and replaced separately.
If you have a discrete video card, you should be able to follow instructions in the Dell service manual.

Been working fine for years then all of a sudden im having an issue starting. Now when i hit the start button, the power indicator,caps lock and # lock all turn green and the fan comes on but this only lasts for 2-3 seconds and then the computer turns off. The hard drive indicator light does not turn green. I have found that when i put upward pressure on the bottom of the laptop and hold that pressure, i can get the hard drive indicator to turn green and consiquently it loads. Once i release pressure the hard drive light is no longer green and that puts the brakes on the loading process. Troubleshooting already attempted: -Reseated memory sticks and alternated them into diff slots -Disipated static by pulling out AC and battery and held down start button for 30 sec. -Took apart laptop down to motherboard and 1)cleaned fan and heatsink 2)checked DC adapter for bad soder areas 3)checked for loose connections/bad soder areas on MOBO -Tried starting without various components installed(battery,optic drive, etc) -Tried numerous outlets -Switched out AC adapters I haven't bought new memory sticks or hard drive yet because i am able to start it with applying the pressure to the bottom of laptop. Although, each time i do that it gets harder and harder to start it that way. I absolutely refuse to buy a new MOBO so i'm hoping that it's a less expensive fix. Any comments/ideas/opinions on what to do now? Should i re-do a step? Did i miss anything? I am only a grasshopper...is there a teacher out there who can help?..LOL I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. Been working fine for years then all of a sudden im having an issue starting.
