office13broken Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For a Lenova u310, I need to know what are the key basic tests to run on it to see if there's anything wrong with it. Got it from someone. Appears to be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
office13broken Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 What are some basic stuff troubleshooting steps? Also need a good audio-specific site to ask questions like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
office13broken Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Lenova u310 not making any sounds, or does so temporarily, then no more. Need some basic troubleshooting steps for audio. Device seems fine. Yes, volume is maxed. And unmuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 A typical issue with notebooks is the "blanking contact" in the external sound socket (the one you plug in external speakers or headsets).The socket is used normally much more than on desktops, and there is in it a small springy contact that is supposed, when the plug is in to disconnect the internal speakers.It is common that some dirt/oxidation prevents this to make contact when the plug is removed.So the advice is to first thing test with an external device (speakers/headset) and clean (with some contact cleaner) the socket. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
