    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST No audio after RMA

    I read that error as the speakers aren't physically plugged in, so would require you opening the laptop and plugging the connectors to their respective places on the motherboard

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Screen Flickering and Dimmed backlight

    Are there any known fixes or similar replacement components that can be swapped out to fix it without an RMA? Unfortunatly it isnt one of the upgrade/replacement parts they offer from the personal orders page

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II issues - again - maybe software this time though.

    Unlikely, yet... not impossible :p I was just nosing through the forums looking for something completly unrelated and saw this thread-necro. @jeakejeakejeake The issue was resolved following I think it was 2 or 3 RMAs all in all. The issue on two occasions were similar, a burned out ribon...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II issues - again - maybe software this time though.

    I may have to agree with you on that. I have now tried all sorts of combinations of drivers from the same as the other recoil II, to the most up-to-date from both intel and nvidia, and the problem still persists with easily another 15 (probably more) BSODs as above since I made that post. Again...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II issues - again - maybe software this time though.

    Hello again! (again from my old laptop which seems more reliable) So, just a quick catch up. My previous issues with the Recoil II and sudden power loss were resolved via RMA where they ended up replacing my motherboard and power cable because of a power delivery issue and cable burn out. I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II - Issues when on battery power (Resolved)

    I sent the laptop back under RMA and have had it back probably about a month now with the issue resolved. It turned out to be a hardware issue with the motherboard having a power delivery problem and my power cable had burnt out. Both were replaced and I have not had a re-occurrence of that...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II - Issues when on battery power (Resolved)

    I might have been jumping the gun a bit thinking the CPU was being the issue there... I think sonik14 might have hit the nail on the head. I re-read this quote, (on battery power) opened up firefox and watched a video on youtube. Noticed firefox runs on the iGPU. Closed firefox. Opened Nvidia...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II - Issues when on battery power (Resolved)

    Quick addition to this. Again this morning I have unplugged my laptop, started a game and the power has just cut out. (for a 4th time now) This time with active cooling on the power plan. Similar thing happened. CPU dropped to ~800MHz. The multiplier seems to get stuck on x8. Still no issue with...
