I have a Microsoft Surface Book I (1703). The main battery in the keyboard section (1704) is not charging. Both batteries...

I'm working on a MacBook Pro 13" 2.4GHz (Mid-2010) that has a beep every 5 seconds. After a bit of troubleshooting I found...

I had an end user have the exact same video problem that you are having. She found that if she flexed the top-left of the display housing, the problem would go away. Eventually it got worse and she had to hold that flex position to be able to use the laptop. I thought it had to be a bad connection. Possible the flex cable or just reseating the cable into the connector at the bottom of the display. I opened up the display assembly and with it powered up determined that it was not the flex cable but somewhere on the circuit board that is attached to the display panel. Pretty small components on there. Replacing the LCD panel solved the problem.

Upgrade the memory while you have the motherboard out. 8GB PC3L-12800 SODIMM

A bit of fiddling is needed to get the fan out from under the speaker assembly. You will find a tab that is attached to the fan, close to the left speaker. If you slightly lift this tab over the standoff, the fans comes out easy. Same when you are installing the fan, lift the tab over the standoff and the fan slides in.

Top two screws, next to the display hinge, are slightly larger screws.

Is a LM270WQ1 SD C2 display equivalent to a LM270WQ1 SD A2?

Two 3/32" drill bits work great at replacing the tool. Place the shaft of the bits into the holes.

Note: Use caution when handling keyboard. These tabs are very sharp.
