Hi Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1667G damage The laptop was dropped from about 4 feet onto a ceramic tiled kitchen floor It boots up ok The screen has pixel damage to the left hand side which varies from day to day Programs which require processor use result in locking/freezing and the only way out is to re-boot The laptop appears to have landed on the bottom left-hand corner, as the case is sprung slightly and the volume control wheel has been pushed into the case and is inoperable The internet can be accessed, but again the laptop email program locks up in use Anyone care to hazzard a guess as to what would be wrong and is it fixable?
obviously something is wrong, personally, i would think maybe a fan of something has become dislodged, do you know anybody that is very technically minded, if you do let them try to fix it, you've nothing to lose, unless it's still under warrenty BTW: dropping the laptop is probably not covered in the warranty, but it is worth checking, that's it it is still under warranty
I think this is what has happened to mine. I bought it from eBay as a little project. I had to replace the screen and I thought that was it but now I'm having loads of freezing problems. I cleaned out the fan and that has improved it slightly but I installed everest to do some tests and I have found that is keeps everheating. The only option I have left is to replace the fan unless anyone can think of anything else. Maybe you have the same problem.
Have you got decent home-and-contents insurance - sometimes they will pay out for a smashed lappy. Best of luck!
