    Charger cord sparks

    The chord that connects from the actual power unit to the laptop is damaged and copper wires have appeared, If I move the chord in anyway it produces tiny sparks. I'm just wondering how dangerous this is and is it still usable ? Could it damage the laptop in anyway ? I'm guessing there is...

    Laptop CPU running at 80 Celsuis

    I was shocked too see that a laptop of my friend was running at 80 Degree celsuis with barely no load. It's an AMD Turion X2 CPU. I've tried blowing and spraying the fans and vents with compressed air and it didn't do much difference. Is it safe for the CPU to be running this hot ? What...

    Possible bad SSD, Any help is appreciated

    I do. But so far since I've reinstalled windows for the second time. It's been fine so far. I'm thinking it could be software related. Is there anything I could test the SSD with to give me a sign if the SSD is indeed the problem ? Do you understand the SMART results ?
