Help! I just lost my job and I need to use my laptop to do some work from home or search for another job. However in a moment of anger about a year ago I punched my laptop and it stopped working. Now when I try to start it, it makes a noise and does not even boot up. I think I may need to open it change some part that's damaged. I have a tool chip for computer repair from some classes I took about 20 years ago. The computer is about 10 years old. It's an Asus k55a. Maybe I can send a picture of the tag on the back. And that's an old machine and I should probably buy a new one but for now I'd like to use what I have if it can be repaired. Going to try repair it myself and we can figure out what part to replace.
