There are a number of reasons why it won't turn on now that you've dropped it.

Most likely, you dropping it may have broken the power jack solder INSIDE the laptop, which doesn't allow for your battery to charge and which is why you can't even turn it on when it is plugged in.

Additionally, the hard drive may be toast depending on the severity of the drop. Hard drives do not like vibrations, moreso drops from any height. However, this is a secondary symptom since you can't even turn the computer on.

My Eli flip saw runs at half speed

Check your power supply. If you are using extension cords, they need to be 10-12 gauge wire. 12g or 14g are only good for 15 amps and no more than 50 feet. If you are using long cords and operating a 12 amp motor, you get a resistance drop that under powers the motor. This will eventually damage the motor and cause it to bog down. If the motor has brushes, check them for wear - if they are thin, you may need to replace them as well.

Importing photos from Canon IXUS 40 to computer. It stops on the 9th picture & will not import any more !

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

What are the solutions for hp netbook 1000 that stopped charging?

POWER SUPPLY & BATTERY PROBLEM
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. When you connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED light up? If not then - The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's power socket could be faulty. Check power adapter's DC plug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltage should be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that is printed on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the adapter is OK then connect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/battery charging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's power socket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position this LED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a dry solder joint where it is connected to the motherboard. This can be repaired but it requires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket and repair. If you cannot DIY then I suggest you get a quote first.

1990 Dodge Caravan A/C / Heater blower fan mode control won't work

The mode doors are operated by vacuum. Check the vacuum supply line to verify it is connected to the intake manifold. If that looks good, remove the control panel to see if vacuum is coming to the mode switch. Then check to see if the switch is transferring vacuum to the actuator lines. Here is the panel removal procedure:
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the necessary bezel(s) in order to gain access to the control head.
  3. Remove the screws that fasten the control head to the instrument panel.
  4. Pull the unit out to troubleshoot.

Hi.

Take out the AC power jack and then remove the laptop battery. Plug AC power back in and see if the laptop will turn on. If it turns on let it boot the operating system and then shut down as normal, remove the power cord and reinsert the battery and again see if it will switch on. If it does then there has been a glitch with the battery. If it doesn't then there is a problem with the battery.

If the laptop won't switch on either with or without the battery then there is a possibility that the motherboard has developed a problem.


Good luck.
