Hi,
My laptop recently had some dc jack problems (no power), so I tore it apart and took a look at the dc jack. It turns out that the soldering point from the cable to the dc jack input separated. So I took out my soldering iron and made a quick fix of it. I placed everything back carefully and tested the dc jack. Perfect. The laptop now turns on and the dc jack works. After updating with windows 7 update, I tried to turn off my laptop. The monitor would turn off, but the computer itself would not. All the lights and fan are still running. I forced a shutdown and powered it back on. I closed the monitor onto the keyboard to put it into sleep mode to see if the monitor would turn back on. It did not. So now my laptop won't shutdown completely and the monitor won't turn on when waking up from sleep mode. I tried several walk throughs (clean boot, power removal), but they didn't help. Also the laptop does restart just fine. I have no idea what the problem is. Please help.
