thanks for the help Nev i will tell him this as me with a soildering iron is a joke. Thanks again Neil

Okay i have it figured the laptop has to be on charge for 30mins before can turn it on strange

Hey Nev, it only has 3 indicators Power(as in on off) battery (pluged in and charging fine no flickering) and hdd after you turn on and does its turn off the charging light goes out and you have to do all that above to get it working again

Okay best to describe this in steps okay first everythings plugged in as normal E.G. charger however thats were everything changers 1. turn on (this usually takes a good long 3sec pressing down on the power button before anything happens) 2. it will turn on and then straight away the caps lock, num lock, and fuction light comes on for a split second and then turns off. To get it to even turn on again requires you to take the battery out for a minuet or so then plug charger back in and then press the power button like a mad man untill comes on again but it will just do this again. few days ago i managed to get it to successfully boot a few times after removing the RAM and Re-seating it that seemed to work. only now tried to turn it on today was working for about 30mins then all started again. its been taken to a few shops before me and my mate was told was a problem with the switching between battery and power cord (thats confusing me cause i had it working by re-seating the RAM) I just want to know is it a power issue or a RAM issue or even corrupt BIOS and or does this happen if the wrong proccessor is installed. thanks again. Neil,

hey thanks for the help in the end i had to buy the replacement part cause after looking at loads i figured none of them would line up with the hole for the jack.

Hey ken, hope this photo help although from this side you cant see the damage its on the other side [ATTACH=CONFIG]1366[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1367[/ATTACH] hopefully you can see it better on this i just need a replacement port however i cant find them anywhere. Thanks again by the way would be helpfull if you could send me the link to the right one cause i had a look and im lost lol only if you have the time dont worry if you dont.

Hey, Im wondering if anyone can help me i need a replacement 3.5mm audio jack [ATTACH=CONFIG]1365[/ATTACH] as you can see next to the USB the problem is the bottom snapped off the port and now needs replacing. The port is a standard female 3.5 mm audio jack with three connections under it running along the middle hopefully you can see it in the picture this is for an LG home cinema MODEL HT304SU-DH. also can i just unsoilder the old jack and soilder on the new one? Thanks guys. PS if anyone can find any on the web can you reply with the link doesnt matter about cost really.

I just thought i should add - this is very normal i have a ATI HD radeon 5770 and i can tell you this very normal mine takes a few mins when i start playing high end games to reach temperatures similar to the one you have - take a look the cards specs on the offical cards page and scrool to the bottom it will tell you there what temperature it can reach with in safe limit http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gtx-560ti-gtx-550ti-us.html , and you other components in the computer have their own cooling example; CPU has its own cooler

Hey, what games are you running when you get these temperatures?

Hi, Try the free version of Speccy http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download

Hey Nev, Sorry to hear about you car. it was sent to toshiba for repair when it was under insurence however its not under insurence anymore :( so i guess going to have to get a new motherboard i guess. If i took it to a repair shop could i pay for them to replace the controller chip? thanks

Both the PSU already installed and the ocz PSU i recommened are ATX so it will fit long as this one is your computer http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...odTypeId=12454, and just follow the instructions in that guide to install the Psu and youll be just fine. I this helps

Hi' id recommend a power supply with a little more kick about 600w and maybe a bigger HDD

thats perfect having the two PCI-e connections. and Kens found a great guide to help replace/upgrade ur PSU.

i think he cant take it off because ?won't this void any warranty? of the company that carried out the upgrade? just a guess ive never delt with being sent away for upgrades sorry if this is wrong........ as like i said there all normal Temps thanks for correcting me Ken on the graphics card.
