    Got a Tiny A360+ notebook.

    Was dropped and now wont power up.
    (luckily already recieved the insurance so it dont matter much)

    was wondering if anyone body knew a way to possibly fix it?

    i cnat even work out how to get the thing open, i've never used a lppy before so its new ground for me.

    is that a toshiba laptop? pictures please? if you have pictures I can tell you how to open it, but your best bet is to take it to a service place, lest you break it more. You should especially have them check if it is under warranty. If it is, have them repair it for sure.

    Mate, have you still got this laptop? Tiny A360+ ?
    Dont suppose you want to sell it, broken, do you? I need a couple of parts out of it(I have one of these too....)....PM me...I don't really want to pay much for it, as I'm gonna pull it to pieces, and I'm guessing the parts may not work, but it would really help me out....Anyway, like I said, PM me, let me know....

    Almost all laptops have a service manual that shows how to disassemble the laptop...

    With a laptop, it's pretty hard to diagnose what's wrong with it as you can't try each part. I assume you can plug it in using the AC adapter, so it's not just a problem with the battery. The only thing you can do is send it back to be fixed by the manufacturer.

    I don't think thats gonna happen. Tiny got boutght by Time and became "The Computer Shop", and subsequently went bust.

    so if they have gone bust does that mean you are left with a bust laptop?

    If you have a Time or Tiny PC, you can't get your laptop repaird because there is no-one to repair it for you!

    interesting... the one near me is shut with a message about tiny etc.

    Just thinking about the laptop, it is probably a loose connection. Check under the runner footings on the laptop, there is often hidden screws there.

    Pull of any rubber feet, they often hide fixings.
