My MSI Mega Book s430x has come back from the dead

A few months ago I have encountered a very strange problem with my laptop msi mega book s430x. It started to hang or freeze during POST mode and at some point it won't display the next time I turn it on. But there are also times when it works fine but most of it, are not. So what I did is, I first contacted the shop where I bought it and ask if it still under warranty but unfortunately it has already been expired a few months ago. I have left no choice but to open and try my luck to fix this.

And so the next day, I scheduled an operation for my laptop msi mega book s430x. I went to the official website of msi to check for new bios upgrades, and yes I found a newer update. I downloaded the newest bios update so I can start flashing the new bios.

I was able to successfully flash the new bios update but unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. The next thing I did was, I carefully unscrew my laptop to see and check if the fans are working. And yes it seems to be working fine. But because of desperation, I have proceeded more unto the mainboard and clean a few dirt and debris that were stocked. Again, it doesn't work and worst of all, there were no more display. After hours of figuring it out, I have given up and considered it as expendable and dead. I left my laptop on my stock room a few months right after I declared it dead. I contacted a few cebu laptop services to check for their services, but it's quite expensive which cost around 4k to 5k. They're going to find a replacement for msi megabook s430x motherboard.

 So my laptop was stock for about 3 to 4 months.

Three to four months after, a friend contacted me to have her laptop check because it'll shuts off a moment after it'll start up. I was able to fix her problem by cleaning the her laptop fan. You can checkout here how I was able to open here Sony VGN-CS13M laptop.

Blessing in guise, I have thought of checking my laptop back again. I disassembled the entire piece exposing the entire motherboard. I've removed the processor and the heatsink as well as the fan. I've cleaned up almost everything using lacquer thinner. I didn't really think if this would work at all but luckily it shows signs of coming back from the dead. It starts up and loads to windows. Later on to check if its really well, I have reformatted and reinstalled windows xp.  Successfully installed and seems to have one problem - the touchpad is no longer working. I guess I could get back on this the next time around since I could still use USB mouse. Rather than messing it up again.

So glad it came back from the dead.

How To Remove Recycler and Autorun

Yesterday I was pissed off by the Recycler and Autorun virus that keeps coming out even though I manually deleted it in my flash drive. It recreates itself and causes other drives to get infected. I tried to reformat my Flash drive but then again when plug back in one of my computers, there it goes back again - "Ataka ani oi" - expressingly spoken in bisaya its like "Damn this thing". lol :)

When I was about to decide reformatting the infected computers, I luckily dugg the solution from the net. Though the author said that it won't permanently heal the infected drives but it does control the infection. When you run the Flash Disinfector program this will actually creates two programs that disables the Recycler and Autorun virus. If you remove the two programs this will again allows the Recycler and Autorun virus to function again.
