Hi i have a friends laptop i aim trying to repair:
Firstly it boots up into windows and after about 5-10 mins of use powers itself off. i have come to the conclusion it could be the cpu overheating due to a faulty heatsink / fan?
or could it be the cpu sensor i am about to purchase a second hand heatsink that is tested as working but am i going to be wasting money could it be the cpu sensor or do i need to remove heatsink and re-apply thermal paste?
Regards,
Dan
