old compaq. LAPTOP,, 14 years old now, Im amazed it even glows at all with
CCFL lamps not dead, wow.. its like a musiem piece.
(sorry , grin) (back ground lamps CCFL)
NO OS stated by you , XP, ?????
why must helpers beg?
and wifi , (difficult that)
it's not wifi, its just that you use wifi most the time ,SEE? right?
in fact we could remove the wifi module. and prove that.
disabling wifi is airplane mode, (todays jargon) but means the wifi transmitter is now OFF (airplane safe is THAT)
the blue screens tell a lot, and no posted photo of one by you.
sad,
BSODs we call those
blue screens of *****
XP love to do that. (even with Bill Gates on stage) LOL
BSOD are hard. Im sure it says 2 words
, HALT and DUMP !
here is a list of causes.... for sure 14year old relics (legacy junk)
- the main battery inside is bad or shorted, remove it run AC , does it, wow, it does, problem solved in minutes flat.
- the Inverter is shorted (CCFL card) and bom, BSOD
- bad RAM, BSOD XP fast , try 1 stick at a time.
- Bad HDD< can corrupte files and XP BSODS in a blink !
- any thing shorted, remove all usb devices yet?
- remove extra ram. , unplug CD drive?
all techs know rule 1,
is it hardware or software, (this is alway first after #1 above done)
to do that we open the CD tray, insert our free LIVE LINUX CD
and boot to linux
wow it runs for hours ok, proving what, HARDWARE IS BAD
if Linux fails its bad hardware (running period correct disk)
if linux runs i next do a full HDD test, using the great linux program there to do that.
or take that handy dandy, Compac (now HP) 3 disk install disks
set and load disk one, does that run? ok
even full restore. or does it show HDD errors.? oops HDD is bad.
the BSODs are really what.
it means the PC attempted to run and ******* instruction.
in simple terms, it means a program is corrupted.
or tried to do ******* things with memory.
that is why test test the PC with a boot CD to see if the PC is ok.
see?
mr wifi real.
sure this can short, but if it is removed and it still BSODs
its not this card, its other cards, shorted. or not at all. cards.
we call this mini-PCI slot card.
