I bought a ViperIII 18.4" HD laptop in 2012 but it has never really been right from day one and it's out of it's warranty but I'm hoping to get these issues fixed.
Currently when my laptop switches on one of the fan's draws in air very heavily, the laptop beeps very loudly and during each beep the Caps and Num lock lights blink. In in most cases the computer just loses power and switches off as if it's over heated (I have Realtemp installed and it never seems to get hot enough that it should shut down...).
I took it to a IT specialist that ran diagnostics and found no problems with any of the hardware (HDD, Graphics, RAM, CPUs). I was advised to try reinstall windows to eliminate any software issues but the problem persists. When the computer does anything intensive it does.
The laptop has pretty much always done this from a few months after I bought it from PC Specialist.
I think I've discovered the problem to be one of the case fans, when I examined the inside I found the power cable that runs to the motherboard is full of lacerations/nicks and breaks in the plastic wire cover. I was wondering if anyone what have a good idea on how I should proceed with the repair and if it's at all possible :/
Again the laptop hasn't really ever been right from day one and put up with the problem, but now the laptop is being very unstable...As you can imagine, it was a lot of money
Any help is appreciated.
