How to make my Laptop to run like a Desktop?

[prabha_friend]

I have a Dell Vostro 15 3568 Laptop for the past 8 years. Have changed the keyboard and upgraded to an SSD through an external local vendor before 4 years. Before 2 weeks my laptop tumbed down on the floor making the external keyboard (usb) crashing into its screen damaging its display. Succesfully seperated the damaged screen and ordered a new display by referencing the part number of the screen. It look almost 10 days for the newly ordered screen to arrive. In the mean time, I had my damaged screen intact and accessing my laptop to an external HDMI Monitor. Everything was fine until I decided to remove the old screen from my laptop by myself. I don't know what went wrong but my laptop was turning off exactly after a minute with a beep. I assumed that, Some PC makers restricted the machines with some mandatory connections to pe present. Soon my new Display arrived. I connected everything and my laptop is fine for the first run with the new display but from the second time (after fitting the screen inside the chassis) the new screen also started showing grains everywhere. I seriously still doubt that the current problem is not display but some cables related. So I thought of unplugging the display and fiting it again. Unfortunately., The cable got de-soldered on my hands. It' a 30 pin Full HD. I gues Totally I need to replace 2 cables which I removed from the laptop. One is the 30 pin Full HD cable and other is the power cable where the WLAN intel chip was also soldered with which goes to the laptop screen. I thought the second cable is the power cable to display. Now, my Laptop is not turning on. What to do? Please Help. Thanks.

Before database work, I had been repairing electronic devices for 20 years for a living (including Toughbook's, and other dedicated specialist portable PC's) and undertook a similar repair on my daughters laptop (An HP with a touch display) a number of years ago.
It was a nightmare, they really aren't designed for easy serving, and it was incredibly easy to damage the connectors and interconnecting cables, as you have found.

Unless you have previous experience, and the correct tools, I would probably advise giving to someone that has.

I watched a Dell Technician swap an entire laptop motherboard once on site at work (it was under warranty) and it was amazing to watch his expertise at work.
He knew exactly where all the screws and hidden catches were, and what fitted where, he had spares for everything and the entire process took him about 25 minutes. It used to take me about an hour and a half on a product I was familiar with.

Hi Minty. Thanks for your reply. Here in my city most electronics repair guys are mostly under educated or lack the knowledge stuff. Most of them bluff or act like they know everything sometimes they even harvest main parts and return it to you saying "Mother board is Dead" or something like that. I don't have "trust-issues" but this is the reality here. If you or anyone in our forum know a trustworthy laptop technician in India I am ready to pass my laptop to him for repair. Hope you understand my situation and do the needful. Thanks

Can you plug in another monitor? USB or HDMI or VGA?

What ports does your machine have?

System not getting powered ON

Not even getting to bios?

Not Even the Power LED

Check the battery is seated correctly, charged up, and that any mechanical switches it might act on when in place are working.

Connecting wires from Solderation gave way in two components...

Sounds like you either need a soldering iron and a roll of solder, or you need a professional who can work that for you. Otherwise, that machine is toast.

Being 8 years old I would go ahead and practice on it, might gain some insight for your next project. @Isaac often talks about buying refurbished laptops, it might be the prudent way to go.

Maybe you could go to a local shop to see if they have any used laptops that would suit you and they could just put your old drive in.
