Peterw42 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Maybe mention the brand and the problem/repair. Generic repairs, software, ram, hardrive etc could be done by anyone. Specific brand components may need to go to a dealer or authorised repair shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killerbeez Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The WiFi can most likely be fixed by using a dongle. The one built into your netbook may not be broken, just incompatible with recent versions of Windows 10. (Good Netgear brand dual band dongles are cheap as chips.) As for the keyboard... this may be a loose connection inside the computer and be a pretty easy fix. If it isn't a small USB keyboard may be the answer... at least till you get a replacement. This is a low powered device that wasn't 'built to last'. It may be a good time to think about replacing it as repairs can sometimes be a money pit.

scottiejohn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Don't write off the use of a restore point, device manager removal of drivers (with instant reset on reboot) or a reset (restore windows but retain files option after Ctrl/Alt/Del). It really depends on the problem. Both the keyboard and the wifi could just be driver problems. Have you tried troubleshoot, both network and keyboard. There are many things to try before going to a shop. I suggest a google search with each problem searched individually and as precisely as possible. Is the keyboard problem just the same key(s) sticking, wrong characters, wrong language or what. Some more details may help especially the operating system and version currently installed. PM if you want specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already had the laptop checked by Nick at FortuneTown, he told me about the keyboard and wifi and quoted me over 1000 Bt to fix it, I have no problem with that, but he needed me to leave it with him for a day or two, but I had arrangements to go home the following day. I am just thinking now if I should wait till the next time I go to Bangkok, or just take it to a repair shop in Nakhon Sawan which is a two hour motorbike trip from my home.

If you that far from Nakhon Sawan perhaps there is a closer alternative - try using Google Maps to find a closer computer shop. I lived 2 years in Takhli many moons ago so was thinking you closer than that. I obviously should read member data better. phichit https://goo.gl/maps/6Cn3i5snHVQLWYP79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of Takhli, it is not near me, but thanks for the map of Nakhon Sawan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't write yourself off. You just have to follow a guide, step by step. You'll do it better than any local Tech, as you'll install clean software with no dodgy shortcuts. Did you have a local tech mess it up in the first place? The guide to which I linked is what you need. Anything else is doomed to failure. Easy job, done in under an hour. But you are far away..

It's a one hour job. Thais paying themselves 1,000 baht an hour? Nice work if you can get it. It just needs a clean install, with a little preparation taken beforehand.

steven100 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nick fixed mine some years back, he's ok. However, I have a HP Compaq 326 ... it stopped working ... had to replace the video graphics processor .... got it back after one month .. now the sound is messed up in the IDT high definition audoi Codec .. makes a promanent hissing sound unless I mute it ... and the notebook shuts down and reboots 5 times a day at random. I am pissed off but I don't wan't to take it back to the same guy. He fixed and f&^%k it . Try 390/44 Moo 9, Sawan Withi Road, Tambon Nakhon Sawan Tok, Amphoe Mueang, Nakhon Sawan, 60000, Phone: 082 393 8848 And some others ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KneeDeep Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think the OP should at least attempt to give it a go. Only on failure should he consider taking it to shop. But taking it to a shop without even trying? The job is so ridiculously simple if he would just give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
