Попросили помочь с ноутбуком HP 470 G8 на процессоре i7-1165G7. Жалобы владельца: какое-то время работал нормально, но внезапно перестал загружаться в систему. Отнесли его в местный ремонт, ему там зачем-то поменяли матрицу дисплея??? Отдали обратно, но через какое-то время он снова перестал загружаться. На первый взгляд дело плёвое, скорее всего поломался загрузчик и всего лишь надо переустановить Windows. Читать далее Read more ›
