Working on my laptop g62-340us

Question

 well I am still here after all the carefull thought ful thinking about how I was going to repair my own laptop well my keyboard finally arrived and I was reinstalling it and finally found the unit wouldnt even turn on with battery power and traced that problem to battery which actually two dead cells no wonder I thought Ill just get a battery from batteries plus and install it myself and not wait for shipping of a hp battery and the unit almost worked it ran for 40 minutes looking just great and all of a sudden it failed video was gone black screen I had to remove everything to begin the old divide and conquer method if system isnt required for computer too run eliminate it and thats what i did but you need control of mouse in order to instruct machine if you do get it going  and there it was by removing top to get good ventilation computer worked I spent all day figuring what to do I feel like I am almost there those tiny plastic sockets are the hardest devices to use when keeper gets pulled why couldnt the sockets all be plug and jack

Answer 1

The keyboard was not bothering me about static but the memory boards were I attempted to find some kitchen foil to protect my memory boards and finally settled on using metal plate with loose transformer laminations laying on top of memory board to keep any static charge from building up it worked and when socket was repaired the boards were immediately replaced and sockets worked well I also had to remove and reinstall the hard disc the unit once repaired is back to old self accept norton keeps interfering by constant downloading updates which were many for unit has been idle for over a month also the hp support has to be reinstalled
