Samsung X - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 8

You are looking at a real job here. The socket is soldered to the motherboard. You will have to completely disassemble the laptop and de-solder the DC socket and re-solder it. Not a job for the faint of heart, not to mention someone without real soldering skill.
I can't tell you the actual steps, but you'll have to unscrew the screws in the bottom of the case, remove the bezel that covers the display hinges, remove the keyboard, display, the palm rest, and then remove the motherboard.
FYI, the palm rest is held to the base by little plastic catches--so you have to be really careful when using a screwdriver to separate the two plastic pieces.

Here , just a quick look on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ACER-ASPIRE-5160z-15-4-WXGA-GLOSSY-LCD-SCREEN_W0QQitemZ120349662536QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item120349662536&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Remove power & battery. Turn device over. There are two screws indicated by "kbd", one about behind the space bar, the other level with F7. Remove them (don't lose them!).

Turn machine over. Open lid (!).

You now need to ease the keyboard up from the edge below the Space bar (when you get it out you will see lugs above the function keys so you can't start from the top).

To ease the keyboard out, you will see three little cut-outs on the edge of the plate hoding the keyboard. Put a small scredriver in each and push back away from the keyboard, lifting gently at the same time; this will free each of those sprung tabs in turn. The keyboard is now free (apart from the ribbon cable behind it: beware!). You may need to lever it up slightly from the side as it is a tight fit, but always take it out from the space-bar side first because of the lugs at the top.

The ribbon cable is held in with a sort of stirrup which is clipped on the left-had side (you need good eyesight to see that). Ease the clip out slightly (less than 1 mm) and you can the ease the stirrup forwards (not up in the air). The cable will then slip out.

sound driver problem

You will have to reinstall the usb drivers again from http://www.samsungpc.com/products/x05/x05_supporteddrivers/x05_supporteddrivers.htm

Sumsung technical support team may help

Hi Caducus,

If you can provide detailed information on the model of your Samsung notebook (as well as which version of Windows you are running) we can provide a driver link for you.

Thanks,
Ben

sounds a lot like the power controller chip is shot. you will need a schematic and correct replacement parts..www.samsung.com might have a service manual for that.

if it won't fit into the power port then its not for that computer.

You will need to get the screen backlight repaired. This is a job for a qualified service technician, and there is nothing else you can do except take it for a service, unfortunately.

sounds as if you have a motherboard problem. If you are not comfortable in taking the bottom half of the case to see if that "crackaling noise" was.. then you can send it into samsung for repairs and estimate. If you are comfortable, first put your nose near a heat vent and see if it smells funny, like a little bit burnt. if so, its a gonner. You can look around once you remove the bottom pannals for burn residue or any signs of problems and report back if you need further assistance

It sounds broken but as a last ditch effort I would try disabling it in device manager and reenabling it.

Hi I believe this is the driver your looking for CLICK HERE

Right click the network icon in the system tray, and click Properties, from there, click Authentication.

thake out the screws on the bottom of the lap top then there are 3 very small clips holding in the keyboardone at the control key one at the space bar and one at the down arrow key push thes back and lift out the keyboard it has a cable conector on it so be carefull then you will see two screws holding in the cd drive and a ribbon conector remove it by pushing forward the small ribbon holder then remove the drive

Provided the drive is seen in the system BIOS, just missing in the OS, this should resolve:

If the drive is not seen in the BIOS, and it is removable, remove and reseat the drive. If still not seen, try another drive, if still not seen in BIOS, a Motherboard is a likely replacement.

There is normally a launch key manager of some type, which you open to designate certain programmes to the function keys, by means of a drop down menu to which you can change to Outlook. Look in your programme files for emanager, launch keys or similair.
