ADVENT LAPTOP REPAIR FAQ:
Advent
7115
Power Jack Pin or Socket
The laptop will not charge the battery. When
the battery power runs out the computer stops working. We repair or
replace power sockets where the power pin has broken or has become
disconnected from the motherboard. In some cases the power connector
makes a poor connection with the 7115 jack. This causes arcing
which can generate enough heat to melt the 7115 dc jack and the
power pin may become lose. It is best to get the Advent power socket repair before the battery is totally depleted as this can cause permanent
damage to the battery.If you get a electrical burning smell from near the power connector then disconnect the adapter immediately. The arcing is burning away the motherboard.

LCD Backlight & inverters The laptop switches on but the screen
remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the 7115
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty 7115 fluorescent light,
inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard.
Backlights use very high voltages and it is easy to cause damage to
the system if they are not correctly handled and installed. Our
engineers can replace the backlight lamps in most TFT/LCD screens
including the new xbrite panels. We also have access to most backlight
inverters and cables. We can perform repairs on some very rare
inverters.Our engineers are trained using broken
LCD panels before they can operate on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.

Overheating We can install replacement Advent fans and
heat sink parts. In cases where the original fan is not available, we
can install substitute fans which will be equivalent or surpass the
performance of the original 7115 fan.
7115 CD/DVD and floppy drives Our engineers can repair or replace these
drives. We have a lot of drives in stock and the work can be carried
out very quickly.

7115 Software and Drivers Viruses and improper shutdowns can lead to
the Windows XP operating system or the file system becoming corrupted.
We can recover your data and install a fresh operating system or
drivers to prevent crashes. We can also recover your data from totally
dead or unusable computers.
BIOS
update ADVENT 7115
Many motherboards are destroyed by incomplete or corrupted BIOS
updates. A BIOS update should only be performed if it is critically
important. Don't do a BIOS update just for the sake of having the latest
version on your computer. Ensure that your computer is stable before
performing a BIOS update. Run diagnostics to check memory, hard
drive, keyboard and video graphics. In
99% of cases a failed bios update will make the computer totally unusable
so take a backup of your software and data too. Make sure that you
have a good connection to your mains adapter and that the battery is
fully charged.
