This has resolved this same issue on 2 of my computers. During a search of the vehicle officers located the driver’s wallet, a letter addressed to him, and his personal property. Driver was unable to describe transient and had no way to contact him. Driver was arrested for for 10851 VC and 496 PC. 20-15713 / 459 / 3200 block Northgate Blvd / 1C / 1031 hrs. I purchased a new HDD a week ago for my laptop. The HDD worked brilliantly for a week but then stopped functioning. Presently, the BIOS does not detect it during BOOT. Here is what I have tried so far: 1. Checked the laptop motherboard with the old HDD and it works fine. Checked my new HDD on a desktop PC and the PC cannot detect it.

We can help!Whether your HP Compaq LCD monitor is missing blocks or lines of information, has scratched surface, defective backlight or no display function at all, PC Repairs Northlakes can restore it to as-new performance.

Repairs for any power problem as a result of liquid spill, power surge or lightning strike. Motherboards control the following hardware such as Audio, Video, Power, USB, Firewire, and Keyboard/Touchpad. If you’re experiencing issues with any of your hardware have our technician’s diagnose the issue. Often this is cheaper than swapping out your motherboard.

Inverter

Does your HP Compaq LCD screen flicker and show a faint image? The Inverter controls the power going to your backlights and may be causing this problem.

Overheating

Does your HP Compaq laptop over heat then shutdown on its own? It may be time to have your cooling system checked out. This is an inexpensive repair that can save you from having to replace your HP motherboard in the future.

Repair Technician
Bob Tibbetts

This is for a complete cleaning and repair of a Northgate keyboard, any modeland other brands that have Alps switches.

Would you like to have your Northgate look like the keyboards pictured below? I will disassemble your keyboard, clean the inside, wash keycaps and all plastic parts, test all key switches and replace if necessary. Your keyboard will look and act like new again. I can sometimes fix motherboards, but not chips, etc.

I have been refurbing and repairing Northgate keyboards for over 20 years now.

!!!!!!!!
Yellow, Orange discolored Keyboard tops
Thanks to a couple of customers that sent me a link to a formula to take out the 'Orange, Yellowish color of some Northgate keyboards, I can now take out most of the discoloration of these keyboards. It is very slow and takes numerous applications of the solution and requires a bright sunny day to work. I have not tried keycaps as I think it will be to tedious and expensive. To do the keyboard top, the cost is $30.00
!!!!!!!!
