This Acer 5253 laptop has been dropped from the desk onto its side, where the charger plugs in. If you ask me, it is quite an usual scenario. Aftermath is simple: bottom case of laptop cracked, dc jack damaged, hinge is flapping around, laptop not charging, but fortunately turns on.
the client emailed us ahead of time with this description of the events. The only diagnosis we did, was from her email and we guessed it was a bad dc jack, since they break pretty easily, when being tampered with. So we ordered a jack ahead of time. When it came in, customer brought us the acer 5253 laptop to get jack replaced.
upon seeing the laptop we noticed there was a big crack on the side of it, and one hinge was feeling very loose. When we opened it, it was clear that the damage was serious. The corner of the bottom case was damaged. The hinge was no longer attached to the bottom case either, the bracket where dc jack sit was completely twisted and crooked, one corner of the heatsink was smashed. it didnt look good 
we installed dc jack, and customer was happy on their way. we suggested to change bottom case and customer said she would look into it. So lesson here – careful not to drop your laptop on any corner you might like what happens to it afterwards!

This Dell 1420 with Nvidia video chip was still working when brought in. However it would get this multicolored lines all over the screen after a short time of using it or when the “strain” on video capability would be increased.
After several tests and different attempts to understand what the problem was and also our clients two hours worth of phone call with Dell. We concluded it was definitely a nvidia chip failure, like it usually is, when the problem like that occurs on dell’s and many HP laptops.
The reason it happens is quite microscopic. After some time and many heat fluctuations that are inevitable. These Nvidia chips tend to break contacts on micro level and start losing conductivity. The breakages are very small and are located inside the chip and are pretty much beyond repair for anyone even with the smallest soldering gun. My guess would be – only machine can do it. but I might be wrong!
The solution overnight pc repair suggested was to replace the motherboard for this Dell 1420 laptop. We ordered a motherboard and replaced it as soon as we got it. total turn around on this repair job was 7 days. Since we ordered the motherboard from China!
