Hi ND before you replace the fuse, chances it has some other issues which you need to check, e.g. shorted ic, etc. replacing it may not help as the fuse can blow again.. what happened actually? any surge or etc ? any abnormalities ? it seems the secondary side capacitor looks bloated too. do you have some knowledge on this repair? take caution on the big capacitor, as there could be some charges, which can give you a nasty shock if precaution is not observed. do you have a multimeter?

Hi @cristianbarni You mentioned that it is not connecting to the internet, mind sharing what is your ISP? I suppose it is ADSL ? what is the model of your ISP Modem? Im thinking logically on your possible connection, ISP Modem >>> D-LINK WAN Port (PPPoE) for ISP >>> D-Link Port 1-4 to your Intelbras WRN150 (LAN Port) You mentioned windows not able to connect, are they in static IP or DHCP by D-Link router? how about DNS assignment? try this open command prompt (click start button and type cmd) ping 8.8.8.8, is there any reply? Note: Intelbras WRN150 should not have any DHCP activated, it should be managed by D-Link DIR615 Router. Check for possible firmware updates for all devices too.

Hi Emily Shane Sound like the battery has been worn out or having issues. I had several iphone4 having this issues. Replacement of battery works. Remplacement de la batterie de l'iPad Air 2

Hi @sinz Sounds like the micro switch inside is wearing off, what I had done is to open up the mice and de solder the old micro switch. Open it up and check to confirm the part no.

Hi @ilovelucy24680 Had you checked on the Hard Disk? check if there is any clicking sound.

Hi @iamameta Try launching keyboard tester and observe what keys is not working well. if your laptop is under warranty, send in for repairs. what you can try first is to detach the keyboard ribbon connector to the mainboard and use an eraser to rub on the ribbon contacts. try installing it back and see if it works, else you will need to get replacement. Sadly nowadays keyboard are not as lasting as previously. I had service a number of laptops due to faulty keyboard. Internal circuit somehow either worn out or corrosion, due to humidity and misc… Some of the keyboard replacement module price are still acceptable. You can check at ebay and aliexpress for it. Some may agreed e.g. new macbook pro, ultrabook, while keyboard is fused / glued into the laptop case, which is a pain to replace and almost impossible, either need to strip all parts to expose the keyboard out / get new keyboard assembly with the laptop base.

Hi @meggaines Well i think it is fairly easy to replace the battery if you have the correct tools, small plus + screw driver head. Based on the experiences on almost similar models, you will need to remove the screws at the base. Once the screws has been removed, remove the plastic base to expose the internals. Remove two screw that were holding onto the battery. Remove the battery connector from the mainboard and remove the whole battery module. The concern is to get good batteries. Im not sure if ifixit does sell dell batteries, of course you may check with dell, with your service tag to check if they do sell the batteries. Normally for batteries, I tend to look at original if possible and reputable shops, as counterfeit batteries are plenty on market, which safety and power capacity is a concern. Lastly to add, some experience, some batteries may have detachable cables which you may need to remove out from the old battery and reuse it to connect to the new battery to the mainboard.

Hi @ramaries5 I see this PC is aged, WinXP for example is not supported now. but if you wish to re purpose for other usage, you can try the solution below. Not sure what password do you mean. 1. If BIOS password, can be removed by removing CR2032 for some time 2. If windows OS, you can perform a clean install of OS Note: If the HDD is locked (HDD Password ask when booting on startup) and you cannot recall, you will need to replaced the hard disk.

This is nostalgic, most will also remember the epic PS1 startup sound.

Not mentioned some people are very “creative”, doing mods breaking away those Sony Games protection at that time.

AFAIK, different sets apart from languages, some video output, e.g. NTSC, PAL.

Tips: Either use a multimeter or use a CR2032 battery to test the LED before soldering in :)))
