well, I'm very proud of myself I did the work but Dan directed me, and we changed the power supply ..... BUT the desktop came on, everything worked,! I was well pleased!
5 minutes later it crashed, rebooted and then would get to the desktop screen, so I shut it down .
soooo we just ordered an new motherboard and new power supply, we'll keep the newly installed PS and put it back into the box, and keep the old one as a spare since the PS was not the issue. so everything should get here on Thurs, but when we get it all installed...lol again I will have to be Dan's hand's and hope I can follow his instructions.
I will pop in a few times a day, then shut off the laptop, even with this cooling mat, it gets very warm.

thanks GG, seems we have to make an appt to take it somewhere, he can no longer even coach me on the repairs. it is a sad day for me and I an not feeling like even being on, just checking in.
I wish he would have just said up front he can;t do it any more, but then I should have known, I was really hoping for something to get him to feel good again, this has just make it worse. now he KNOWs he can;t do things like this any more, both physically, and logically

I know how upset and frustrated I am, I can only image how he is feeling in his lucid moments.
I take it to a guy at 4. hope it is nothing too back, but I am afraid Dan might have bent pins or got wires wrong, I did what he told me to do, but then had to do it different ways for it to work, :(
anyway, hope I can get on again later, I will try to update things here then off this laptop. it is a nice laptop but just too small for me to see and the keys are white and grey and it is windows7, not linux and if I update I think they will put 10 on here!
I am thankful I have this to at least check in.
hope you all have a great day.
