How much does it cost to build a laptop?

You cannot build a laptop, it is too complicated, you cannot buy in exact sized case for your requirements. Also the parts are hard to find when compared to building a desktop.

Desktop's are better in terms of power than laptops and you get more for your money. Plus desktops are buildable.

EDIT: Do not listen to the above moron. Building a laptop is just as easy as building a desktop, but it does require you knowing how to do it. It is a very simple process, you buy the case and then a MoBo that fits said case, then the rest goes in. Super easy.

If you don't really know the answer, don't answer.

How do you fix red snowy laptop screen?

First of all you'll have to figure out if the problem is related to the laptop display or there is something wrong with the motherboard.

Test your laptop with an external monitor.

If video on both internal and external screens is bad, most likely your problem is related to the motherboard or the video card. It's possible that you have a software related issue. Before you replace any hardware, try reinstalling the video driver or even reimaging the hard drive.

If external video is fine but video on the internal screen is bad, you have a problem with the laptop display panel.

In this case try

- reseating the video cable on both motherboard and LCD screen

- replacing the video cable

- finally replacing the LCD screen

------------------

Dell has a chip in its AC adapter checked by a chip in the laptop. The wiring is poor and there are lots of reports of this failing (uses the pin in the center of the plug). Dell bios will slow down the CPU if it "sees" a non-Dell adapter - mine changes from 1600mhz to 600mhz and it will NOT charge the battery. Many people (including me) blame the battery and buy new ones, many, including me, have bought replacement DELL ac adapters and not fixed the problem. The chip in the laptop can get damaged easily and claim all adapters are non-dell. The fix? Dell says buy a new motherboard. All because they built in this bogus circuit and bios code to force people to buy their adapters. Did I say I use a non-Dell adapter? Nope, mine is real and my battery is dead.. It's my last Dell - ever. (there are programs to bypass the bios to put the CPU speed back where it is supposed to be - I have not found anything to make my laptop charge the battery.

There are companies which sell separate battery chargers to charge outside the laptop. Maybe they are owned by Dell, too? HA!
