I Dropped My Laptop, Help Please.

by MyNameIsNotURL Feb 28, 2015 7:06PM PST

Well, I did a stupid thing and decided to put my laptop on my bed, and thinking nothing was going to happen, it slipped off and fell on it's left side when the charger was plugged in, and now it works just as good as it did before, but it will only work when it's plugged in, I have No warranty, I have No money, and it's a Gateway brand laptop.

Perils of drops.

Repairs often cost more than a new laptop so get estimates. As to you fixing it, you start taking courses in electronics and more until you are in the business. But zero money repairs? Rare.

Try the usual reset noted at the top of this forum at http://forums.cnet.com/7726-19681_102-3138013.html?tag=posts;msg3138013
