The computer will not respond to certain keys being struck, or to pressure on the trackpad.

Keyboards experience day-to-day contact with all kinds of debris, and sometimes when keys stop responding, it’s simply because they need to be cleaned. Check out this [keyboard cleaning guide].

The computer does not respond to flash drives being inserted into the USB socket.

Sometimes the problem is caused by the flash drive you’re using. Check the flash drive for dust or other contaminants, then try connecting it again. If that doesn’t work, try inserting a different flash drive, preferably one known to be in working order. If the computer doesn’t respond to either device, it is probably an issue with the USB drive itself.

When I turn my laptop on, there are many multi colored lines across the screen

Clean the edges around the screen and see if there may be debris lodged under the casing around the screen.

See if the lines disappear after cleaning the edges, if the lines persist there may be more debris under the casing or possible damage to the digitizer.

If the lines still persist after cleaning out all dust and debris, the digitizer may need to be replaced.

There is muffled or no sound coming from my headphones when I plug them into the audio jack

To clean out the audio jack, either blow into it or spray it with compressed air. This should remove any debris inside.

If sound quality doesn’t improve, the jack itself could be faulty. To check this try inserting a different device. If the poor sound quality is mimicked by both accessories then the Audio jack is malfunctioning or shorting and needs to be repaired or replaced.

If it is just a short, this can be fixed by using a soldering iron to re shape the solder correctly onto the solder pads.

My computer becomes so hot that it can almost burn if touched.

Locate the vents on the casing of the laptop. Remove any debris via tweezers or compressed air. If the computer continues to overheat, remove the back access panel and clean out all dust inside the casing and on any visible components.

While the the back access panel is open try to locate the cooling fans in the laptop and that they are all in working condition and free of debris.

If any fans seem to be having trouble we would suggest replacement.
