Generally you can use a charger from any manufacturer with any device, as long as the voltage and the plug are the same and the wattage is greater or equal to that of the original power supply.
All the necessary information to calculate it can be found on the back of the power supply. To calculate the output power of the unit, use the specifications listed under "output".
Calculation:
Ampere * Volt = Watt
Example: 4,74 A * 19 V = 90,06 W
The power supply therefor has 90 Watt.
In our online shop you can choose your notebook in the menu on the left, then all compatible articles will be listed.
If you can't find your model, you can also enter the manufacturer part number of your power supply in the search.
Examples for manufacturer part numbers:
Toshiba: A000007000, K000060890, PA3468E-1AC3
Acer: AP.06501.024, 7452480100
Fujitsu-Siemens: UWL:76-01B900-5A, WTS:25.10173.071, FSP:811002431
Asus: 90-XB0KOAPW00070Q
HP: 381090-001
Lenovo: 40Y7673
Examples for part numbers, that can also be found on power supplies but are not manufacturer part numbers:
ADP-60SH B, PA-1650-54, ADP-90CD, PA3468-1AC3

Yes, you can use a power supply with a higher wattage, however you need to pay attention that the voltage doesn't deviate more than one volt from the voltage of the original power supply.
It also doesn't work the other way around; your new power supply needs to have at least the same wattage as the old one.
Not necessarily, try taking your battery out (if possible) and starting the computer while connected to the charger in question. If it starts, the power supply is working but something in the Notebook is broken.
There are also multiple indicator lights, on the laptop, whether it is being charged, also this can be seen in most operating systems. You can also use the indicator light found on some chargers to diagnose an issue with a cable.
Power supplies are subject to certain specifications and can reach up to 50°C. The most amount of heat is produced when working on the Notebook and charging the battery at the same time. As long as you can touch your charger without getting burnt, its temperature is probably within specification. However, it is most important, that the heat can be dissipated, therefor you should never put your power supply under a blanket or in a closed drawer.
Oftentimes the reason for this is, that with USB-C all devices have to agree on the current and voltage used for charging. Therefore, all involved devices must support USB Power Delivery, so that enough power can be transmitted to charge devices such as laptops. The cable used for charging is also part of these devices, which means you have to make sure your cable supports USB-PD. If one or more devices do not support USB-PD a maximum of 15 Watt can flow.
Nein – nicht jedes Netzteil passt an jeden Laptop. Auch wenn viele Netzteile auf den ersten Blick ähnlich aussehen, unterscheiden sie sich in Spannung (Volt), Stromstärke (Ampere), Steckergröße und Polung. Diese Werte müssen genau zum jeweiligen Notebook passen, sonst kann das Gerät nicht laden oder sogar beschädigt werden.
Ausnahme: USB‑C‑Ladegeräte. Bei modernen Notebooks mit USB‑C‑Anschluss kannst du häufig auch Netzteile anderer Hersteller verwenden, wenn sie den USB Power Delivery‑Standard (USB‑PD) unterstützen und ausreichend Leistung liefern. Das Notebook erkennt dann automatisch, wie viel Strom es benötigt.
Kurz gesagt:
Hier findest du das passende Original Netzteil im IPC-Computer Shop.
Bei vielen Notebook-Modellen werden im Shop mehrere passende Netzteile angezeigt. Das ist normal und hat technische Gründe, sorgt aber schnell für Verunsicherung („Welches ist jetzt das richtige?”).
Grundsätzlich gilt: Alle zu Deinem Gerät angezeigten Netzteile sind kompatibel, unterscheiden sich aber in:
Was ist GaN?
GaN steht für Galliumnitrid –ein moderner Halbleiterwerkstoff. GaN‑Netzteile können bei gleicher Leistung:
Technisch ersetzen sie klassische Netzteile vollwertig. Wichtig ist nur, dass Leistung (Watt) und Anschlusstyp zu deinem Notebook passen.
So wählst du das passende Netzteil aus
1. Auf die Leistung (Watt) achten
Empfehlung:
2. Rundstecker oder USB‑C / Power Delivery (PD)?
Früher wurden die meisten Notebooks nur mit einem klassischen Rundstecker-Netzteil ausgeliefert. Heute unterstützen viele Modelle zusätzlich das Laden über USB‑C mit Power Delivery (PD) – auch dann, wenn im Original-Lieferumfang ein Rundstecker-Netzteil dabei war.
Das bedeutet für dich:
Vorteile von USB‑C / PD-Netzteilen:
Wenn du keine Lust auf Experimente hast, bleib einfach beim Steckertyp deines bisherigen Netzteils (z. B. klassischer Rundstecker). Möchtest du moderner und flexibler werden, kannst du – sofern dein Gerät USB‑C‑Laden unterstützt – bewusst auf ein USB‑C‑PD‑Netzteil umsteigen.
Mit Delta Netzteilen bekommst du Qualität vom Weltmarktführer – und bei uns gleich mehrere Vorteile auf einmal:
Wenn du ein hochwertiges, preislich attraktives und absolut zuverlässiges Ersatznetzteil suchst, sind OEM-Delta-Netzteile die ideale Wahl.
→ Delta Netzteile direkt beim Direktimporteur IPC‑Computer ansehen
So bekommst du schnell und sicher genau das Netzteil, das zu deinem Notebook passt – ohne Experimente.
→ Passendes Notebook‑Netzteil im IPC‑Computer Shop finden.
Die langjährige Erfahrung in der Laptop-Reparatur zeigt ganz klar: Du solltest möglichst Original‑Netzteile oder geprüfte Marken‑Netzteile verwenden und keine billigen Nachbauten, weil:
Unterm Strich ist ein Original‑ oder OEM‑Netzteil zwar oft etwas teurer, dafür bekommst du maximale Sicherheit, volle Kompatibilität und weniger Risiko – und genau das ist bei einem sicherheitsrelevanten Bauteil wie dem Netzteil entscheidend.
→ Im Shop-Bereich „Notebook‑Netzteile” findest du eine große Auswahl an Original- und geprüften Qualitätsnetzteilen.
Im Inneren eines Netzteils sitzen Bauteile, die die Netzspannung (z. B. 230 V) in die passende Spannung für dein Notebook umwandeln. Bei GaN-Netzteilen werden dafür Galliumnitrid-Halbleiter genutzt.
Das bringt mehrere Vorteile:
Wichtig: GaN-Netzteile sind aktuell noch etwas teurer als herkömmliche Notebook-Netzteile. Die Kombination aus kompaktem Formfaktor und geprüfter Qualität macht sie für viele Kund:innen zur attraktiven Wahl.
Mehr erfahren:Alle Details und einzigartigen Vorteile der GaN-Netzteile (IPC-Computer Blog).
Das hängt davon ab, wie falsch das Ladegerät ist – aber grundsätzlich gilt: Ein falsches Netzteil kann deinem Notebook ernsthaft schaden.
Mögliche Folgen:
Bei USB‑C‑Geräten mit Power‑Delivery‑Standard ist das Risiko geringer, da Notebook und Ladegerät automatisch verhandeln, wie viel Spannung fließen darf. Ein nicht kompatibles Netzteil lädt dann meist einfach nicht – gefährlich wird es hier nur bei billigen Nachbauten ohne PD‑Zertifizierung.
Fazit:
Das falsche Ladegerät kann von harmlosen Ladefehlern bis hin zu dauerhaften Geräteschäden führen. Für maximale Sicherheit und eine lange Lebensdauer deines Notebooks solltest du immer ein Original‑Netzteil für dein Laptop verwendest. Am einfachsten findest du dieses über die Suche nach dem Notebook Modell im IPC-Shop.

You ordered using the part number of the power supply manufacturer (DELTA, LiteOn, …) and not the notebook manufacturers part number. The power supplies are often bought by the Notebook manufacturers and then outfitted with different plugs. These plug variants are no longer considered in the part number of the power supply manufacturer. An example: ADP-90MD H is sold by Acer with a plug with a 5,5mm outer and a 1,7mm inner diameter but other brands sell it with a 5,5/2,5mm plug.
Basically, a power supply converts the AC voltage from the mains into a lower DC voltage for a consumer. In the case of a laptop power supply, the output voltage and maximum output current are usually fixed.
The main component of any power supply unit or power supply is a transformer. In laptop power supplies, this is usually characterized by a very compact design.
The 220-volt alternating current from the wall socket generates a magnetic field in the transformer, whose charge changes from positive to negative 50 times per second. These electrical oscillations can cause parts of the transformer wires, iron cores and coils to move slightly. While the parts are usually glued together tightly, the connections can become partially loose for a variety of reasons, or the insulation on the coil wires can become brittle. And this can cause the annoying noises. The power supply hums.
The movements of the transformer components can also be transferred to other components in the very compactly designed laptop power supply and cause additional small vibrations there, which also cause noises.
Reassuring when the power supply hums: Noise developments in power supplies don't affect the electrical functionality and are usually harmless.
Depending on the cause of the noise, mounting the power supply differently, e.g. on a different base or on a piece of foam rubber, may solve the problem.
No, because a circuit in the Notebook controls how much power arrives at the battery and not the charger.

Possible exception (clock/BIOS): If your laptop does not have its own BIOS battery, it may be necessary to reset the time in the BIOS.
→ No problem: The system time is automatically synchronized via the Internet at the latest after Windows startup and is correct again.
An internal battery cannot usually be completely disconnected from the power supply without disconnecting it electronically or physically. However, many laptops have a built-in safety function for this purpose:
1. via the BIOS/UEFI: Some manufacturers offer the Battery Disconnect or Internal Battery Disable option there. This disconnects the battery electrically until the power supply unit is reconnected.
2. via the switch in the service door: Some devices have a small slide switch or button under the maintenance flap that can be used to deactivate the battery before maintenance work.
3. manual disconnection: If none of these options are available, the battery can only be disconnected from the mainboard by qualified personnel or yourself with caution.
Tip: Check the instructions first! You will find over 250 video instructions for professionally opening and expanding your device in our series “My laptop from the inside”.
If your laptop battery is causing problems, a so-called battery reset can often help by restarting the internal charging electronics.
Instructions
Your battery has now been successfully reset.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to "revive" a modern laptop battery in the true sense of the word, as the integrated protection and charging electronics automatically switch off in the event of severe deep discharge.
What you can do (diagnosis):
Carry out these steps to rectify problems with the electronics or software:
Conclusion: If none of this helps, the battery is permanently defective and must be replaced. A professional battery replacement with an original or IPC own-brand battery is the safest solution.
These tools are used by our technical department to assess the overall condition of batteries (including stored goods) and to narrow down sources of error. If stored properly (ideally cool, dry and at 50% charge), the results often remain very good.
Your 6-point quick check
When is a spare part/service required?
With a bit of technical knowledge and a manual specific to your notebook this could be possible.
We recommend letting a specialist do it.
Here a video as an example:
You have to measure the diagonal of your display by measuring from one corner to the opposite one.
You might have to convert from cm to inches. 1 inch is 2,54 cm, so a 19" display would also be a 48cm display.
When manufacturing a Display there can be errors in some pixels. This will result in the pixel or sub-pixel not letting any light pass or never blocking light. If a complete pixel is defective it will either be black or white. However, the same error can also occur in a subpixel, which will then result in it always/never displaying its respective color (either red, green or blue). Due to the very high number of pixels such errors are almost impossible to avoid, and that is why displays with a few pixel errors are still shipped.
Vertical or horizontal lines are almost always a sign for a display damage.
A display damage is also indicated by lines that (dis-)appear when the display is pressed on.
In this case the display has to be exchanged.
The digitizer is a part of the display; however, it does not display any images. Its main function is to protect the LCD underneath and it also handles touch input, if touch is present.
The LCD unit underneath the digitizer consists of the backlight and the LCD, which handles the colors of each pixel.
The display unit is all of this together. So, it contains the digitizer, LCD, backlight and usually a frame around all of it.
Only displays that are specifically made for your notebook are compatible.
Both are methods of connecting internal displays in devices like laptops or all-in-one PCs. LVDS stands for Low Volatage Differntail signaling and only specifies, that signals are transmitted using a lower voltage than usual. This allows higher data rates due to lower crosstalk and interference. When talking about the connection of a display via LVDS, the protocol FPD-Link (Flat Panel Display Link) is usually meant, which uses LVDS. This protocol has been introduced in 1996 and has been the main way of connecting internal displays for a long time. However, with the steady increase in the resolution of displays, FPD is reaching its limits.
That is why in 2008 Embedded DisplayPort (EDP) has been introduced. It is based on the external connection DisplayPort and is constantly being refreshed. It has no problem connecting displays with a 4K resolution at over 60Hz refresh rate, whereas LVDS is over at FHD (1080p).
TN, short form of Twisted Newmatic, panels have been the standard for flat-panel displays for a long time. Now they are being replaced by IPS (In-Plane-Switching) panels. The biggest disadvantage of TN panels is, that they only display a relatively small number of colours and that they have bad viewing angles. That means that if you don’t look at the panel in a 90° angel the colours quickly appear dull and distorted.
IPS displays solve these problems, they even show correct colours when looking at them almost at a 180° angle. However they still have some disadvantages compared to TN panels. They generally have a higher response time which means they take longer to display an image on screen. This is why gamers sometimes still prefer TN panels.
The difference is in the surface of the display. A matt display has a slightly ruff surface. This greatly reduces reflections, which is very beneficial for working in rooms with bright lights or outdoors. Additionally, fingerprints and dust are not so visible.
However glossy displays also have their advantages. Due to the extremely smooth surface the picture is a bit sharper and colors and contrast are also better, provided the display beneath the coating is good enough. Professional movie and photo editing monitors often use a glossy display in combination with a large anti-glare shield for the optimal image.
The part number can be found on the back of your Display, however finding it requires disassembly of your notebook.

Nowadays, there are dozens of slightly different display resolutions for laptops and monitors. In order to stay on top of things, we created an overview of the most important ones.
| UHD | 3840x2160 | WXGA+ | 1440x900 |
| QHD+ | 3200x1800 | WXGA+ | 1400x1050 |
| WQHD | 2560x1440 | SXGA+ | 1366x768 |
| WUXGA | 1920x1200 | HD | 1280x1024 |
| FHD | 1920x1080 | SXGA | 1280x800 |
| WSXGA+ | 1680x1050 | WXGA | 1024x768 |
| UXGA | 1600x1200 | XGA | 1024x600 |
| HD+ | 1600x900 |
If the Display is black, but the Desktop can still be seen a bit, this means, that the background light has died.
Some of the errors could be:
In most cases it is probably best if you send your device in for repair to a specialist.
Das Öffnen eines Laptops erfordert Sorgfalt, das richtige Werkzeug und etwas Erfahrung.
Grundregeln beim Öffnen:
In unserer Reihe „Mein Laptop von innen“ zeigen wir anschaulich, wie verschiedene Notebook‑Modelle aufgebaut sind und welche Schritte nötig sind, um sie sicher zu öffnen.
Die Videos helfen dir, die Bauweise unterschiedlicher Marken (z. B. HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer) besser zu verstehen und zeigen, wo sich Akku, Mainboard oder RAM befinden.
Wenn du dir beim Öffnen unsicher bist oder fest verbaute Komponenten besitzt, übernehmen unsere Techniker in der Werkstatt den sicheren Ausbau und die Reparatur.
Yes, with the right settings, operation in the folded state is possible. In this video we show how it works.
Technically speaking, a more powerful power supply can be used without any problems and does not pose any danger to your device, as it always draws as much energy as it currently needs. The only disadvantage is the usually higher price of the more powerful product.
In order to use your docking station or port replicator, you need the appropriate drivers. The easiest way to find these drivers is directly from the manufacturer of the docking station/port replicator. You will usually need the serial number or the exact model name.
The driver for our in-house port replicator can be found on our info page for the IPC port replicator.
Yes, as general rule this is possible. Although you have to consider the power capacity and the type of the connection.
Es sollte möglich sein wenn das Notebook und die Docking Station vom selben Hersteller stammt.
Jedoch können wir dies nicht gewährleisten.
Falls Sie noch mehr über die Thematik erfahren wollen haben wir hier ein Blog-Beitrag für sie: Blog
Basically yes, you can use them to charge your laptop, however you have to make sure, that it has enough power to do so. To find out, if it has it, please compare the specifications on the back of the original power supply with those of the one, that came with your docking station. The output voltage should not differ more than 1 volt and the output power should be greater or equal to that of the original power supply.
In our shop we also offer combinations of docking stations and power supplies.

Dockingstations bei IPC Computer
Mögliche Risiken und worauf du achten solltest:
The most remarkeble advantages in comparison to USB3.0, are a faster data transmission rate and the possibility to charge the device via USB-C. Also is USB-C becoming the default option for more and more devices.
First and foremost, the difference lies in the connection type. Port replicators connect via a universal port such as USB, making them compatible with many devices. Docking stations are connected to the device via a proprietary interface and are therefore often compatible only with a laptop series. However, this allows more functionality, such as the laptop can be closed, or a power button on the dock itself. In addition, the docks are often like a cable, so the controller chip is in the laptop itself. This allows a higher bandwidth especially compared to USB. Often this is beneficial for connecting monitors and LAN.
If you work with many different devices or you do not need much functionality, e.g. only USB and audio, port replicator is suitable for you. Advanced functionality tailored to your device is more likely to be found in a docking station.
Port-Replicators which are connected via USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 often combine the benefits of normal Port- Replicators and Docking Stations. The standardized connection allows for compatibility with a multitude of devices, both connections have a high bandwidth. Therefore, you can not only connect USB-devices and card readers, but also LAN and multiple monitors. Additionally, they often allow for charging via the same cable used to connect them and even can turn the device on and off.
Whether you are looking for a replicator or a docking station, you will find the right device for your laptop in our shop.
On the one hand you have to consider the compatibility of your device. If your laptop has no USB-C connection, it can cause problems with newer models. On the other hand the port replicator has to produce enough power and can not convert less watts than your Notebook needs. At last you can choose how many and what type of connections for peripherals you need.

Further information:
Ja, in vielen Notebooks lässt sich der Lüfter mit etwas technischem Geschick selbst austauschen – vorausgesetzt, du arbeitest sorgfältig.
Wichtig ist, vor dem Ausbau Netzteil trennen und Akku entfernen, um Kurzschlüsse zu vermeiden.
Wie Du Dein Laptop öffnen kannst, wird Dir in über 250 verschiedenen Videos der Serie “Mein Laptop von innen” anschaulich erklärt - bestimmt findest du auch Dein Gerät.
Der Lüfter ist in der Regel mit wenigen Schrauben befestigt und über einen kleinen Stecker mit dem Mainboard verbunden.
Nach dem Ausbau des alten Lüfters sollte die alte Wärmeleitpaste auf CPU und GPU erneuert werden, damit die Wärme wieder optimal abgeführt wird.
Wenn du lieber gleich unser Techniker-Team für den Lüfter tausch beauftragen möchtest, dann kann Du hier den entsprechenden Reparaturauftrag für eine Sofortrepartur beauftragen.
Du möchtest wissen was die Lüfter-Reparatur kostet? Dann findest du den Lüfterpreis bei dem entsprechenden Notebook-Modell und den Preis für die Reparatur in der Reparatur-Preisliste.
In vielen Notebooks kannst du das Lüfterverhalten beeinflussen je nach Hersteller und Modell über das BIOS, die Herstellersoftware oder Energie‑Einstellungen von Windows. Einige BIOS‑Versionen bieten Profile wie Silent, Balance oder Performance, die die Drehzahlkurve anpassen.
Bei Geräten von z. B. Asus, Lenovo oder MSI lässt sich dies auch über Tools wie Armoury Crate, Vantage, oder Dragon Center steuern.
Wichtig: Manuelles Absenken der Lüftergeschwindigkeit kann zwar Geräusche reduzieren, erhöht aber die Temperatur von CPU und Grafikchip. Dauerhaft zu hohe Temperaturen verkürzen die Lebensdauer der Hardware.
Wenn du das Lüfterverhalten anpassen möchtest, achte auf ausreichende Kühlung und teste die Temperaturen z. B. mit HWMonitor oder Core Temp. Bleibt der Lüfter trotz korrekter Einstellungen zu laut oder läuft ständig auf Vollgas, könnte ein Defekt am Lüfter oder Temperatursensor vorliegen.
Im IPC‑Computer‑Shop findest du originale Notebook‑Lüfter und individuelle Beratung, wenn du unsicher bist, ob eine Einstellung oder ein Austausch die bessere Lösung ist.
Ja, ein Laptop kann durch dauerhaft zu hohe Temperaturen tatsächlich beschädigt werden. Elektronische Bauteile wie CPU, GPU, Spannungswandler und Akku reagieren empfindlich auf thermische Belastung. Oberhalb von etwa 90 °C CPU‑Temperatur oder 85 °C GPU‑Temperatur beginnen viele Geräte automatisch zu drosseln („Thermal Throttling“), um sich zu schützen. Wird diese Schutzgrenze häufig oder über längere Zeit überschritten, treten jedoch folgende Schäden auf:
Darum ist regelmäßige Reinigung des Kühlsystems, Erneuerung der Wärmeleitpaste und gegebenenfalls der Tausch verschlissener Lüfter entscheidend, um Temperaturen stabil zu halten. Die optimale Betriebstemperatur liegt meist zwischen 50 – 75 °C. Werden diese Werte eingehalten, bleibt die Leistungsfähigkeit voll erhalten und die Lebensdauer der Bauteile steigt signifikant
Wenn dein Notebook‑Lüfter dauerhaft laut läuft, liegt das meist an Staubablagerungen, hoher Systemlast oder verschlissenen Lagern.
Reinige zuerst die Lüftungsschlitze und Kühlrippen vorsichtig mit Druckluft, Fön oder notfalls mit einem Staubsauger oder einem feinen Pinsel – bereits das senkt oft die Lautstärke deutlich.
Prüfe anschließend im Task‑Manager, ob Programme für hohe Prozessor‑ oder Grafiklast sorgen, und aktualisiere gegebenenfalls BIOS und Lüftersteuerung.
Hilft das nicht, deutet das auf einen defekten Lüfter hin – ein Austausch ist dann sinnvoll. Unsere Service-Center steht Dir gerne für eine Reparatur zur Verfügung.
Im IPC‑Computer‑Shop findest du originale Notebook‑Lüfter für nahezu alle Modelle – passgenau, leise und langlebig.
Ein funktionierender Lüfter sorgt für eine stabile Kühlung, verhindert die Überhitzung von CPU und Grafikchip (VGA) und schützt damit die empfindliche Elektronik.
Das Ergebnis: Dein Laptop bleibt leise, kühl – und lebt länger.
Yes - if possible, you should always use an original fan from the notebook manufacturer. Only original fans correspond to the required quality and offer the security of always cooling the laptop correctly.
Original parts are precisely matched to the respective notebook model, fit mechanically and electrically 100 % and offer optimum speed and temperature control.
Replica fans are cheaper, but the quality in terms of noise development and fan wheel bearings varies greatly depending on the manufacturer. There are also no quality standards here, which means that you are taking an incalculable risk. If the processor and/or graphics chip are no longer cooled properly, there is a risk of overheating and therefore usually a total economic loss of your laptop.
Du solltest den Laptop‑Lüfter austauschen, wenn er ungewöhnliche Geräusche macht, ständig auf höchster Drehzahl läuft oder überhaupt nicht mehr anläuft.
Typische Anzeichen sind Rattern, Klackern oder Schleifgeräusche – sie deuten auf einen Lagerschaden oder Verschleiß hin.
Auch stark schwankende Drehzahlen oder plötzliche Temperaturanstiege trotz gereinigter Kühlrippen sind Warnsignale.
Ein funktionierender Lüfter sorgt dafür, dass CPU und Grafikchip bei intensiver Nutzung nicht überhitzen.
Wenn die Kühlung nicht mehr ausreicht, kann es zu automatischem Herunterfahren, Leistungsabfällen oder dauerhaften Schäden an der Hardware kommen.
In solchen Fällen lohnt sich ein Austausch gegen ein Original‑Ersatzteil, denn ein neuer, leiser Lüfter stellt die optimale Kühlleistung wieder her – damit dein Notebook zuverlässig arbeitet, stabil bleibt und spürbar länger lebt.
Passende Modelle findest du im IPC‑Computer‑Shop – exakt nach Hersteller und Seriennummer geeignet.
Wenn dein Laptop‑Lüfter dauerhaft läuft, liegt das meist an einer hohen Systemauslastung oder unzureichender Wärmeabfuhr.
Oft sind die Luftauslässe oder Kühlrippen durch Staub blockiert, wodurch sich die Wärme staut und der Lüfter häufiger anspringt, um die Temperatur zu senken.
Auch Hintergrundprozesse, Windows‑Updates oder ressourcenintensive Programme können den Prozessor stark belasten und damit das Lüfterverhalten beeinflussen.
Reinige zunächst die Lüftungsschlitze sorgfältig, beende unnötige Aufgaben im Task‑Manager und überprüfe, ob die BIOS‑Version und Energieprofile aktuell sind.
Wenn der Lüfter trotz Reinigung und geringer Last dauerhaft läuft, kann ein defekter Temperatursensor oder ein Lüfterverschleiß vorliegen – hier hilft nur ein fachgerechter Austausch - gerne auch in unserer Notebook-Doktor Werkstatt.
Im IPC‑Computer‑Shop erhältst du originale Ersatzlüfter und Kühlmodule, die exakt auf dein Notebook‑Modell abgestimmt sind.
So arbeitet dein Gerät wieder mit optimaler Temperatursteuerung, bleibt leiser – und hält langfristig länger.
Wenn der Laptop‑Lüfter gar nicht mehr startet, liegt meist ein elektrisches Problem, ein Steuerungsfehler oder ein mechanischer Problem vor. Zuerst solltest du prüfen, ob der Lüfter beim Einschalten ganz kurz anläuft – das zeigt, dass Strom anliegt.
Bleibt er komplett still, können Staubblockaden, ein Kabelbruch, eine gelockerte Steckverbindung oder ein defekter Temperatursensor die Ursache sein. Auch sehen wir im Service-Center immer wieder dass Lüfter auch durch angezogenen Fremkörper den Lüfter kpt. blockieren.
Auch ein veraltetes BIOS oder falsche Energieprofile können dazu führen, dass der Lüfter nicht mehr angesteuert wird.
Führe daher ein BIOS‑Update nur nach Herstellerangabe durch und teste anschließend, ob sich der Lüfter wieder regulär einschaltet.
Wenn er trotz Reinigung, Steckprüfung und korrekten Einstellungen nicht reagiert, ist der Lüfter selbst vermutlich elektrisch defekt – hier hilft nur der Austausch. Neue Original Lüfter kannst du dann hier kaufen - Link
Der Lüfter ist das bewegliche Bauteil, das Luft ansaugt und durch den Kühlkörper leitet, um Wärme abzuführen.
Das Kühlmodul hingegen besteht aus dem gesamten Kühlsystem – also aus dem Lüfter plus den Metall‑Heatpipes und dem Kühlkörper über CPU und Grafikchip.
In vielen Notebooks sind Lüfter und Kühlmodul miteinander verschraubt oder verklebt, sodass sie gemeinsam getauscht werden müssen.
Wenn der Lüfter defekt, aber das Kühlmodul intakt ist, kann oft nur der Lüfter als Einzelteil ersetzt werden – das spart Kosten und Material.
Bei stärkerer Verschmutzung, verzogenen Heatpipes oder eingetrockneter Wärmeleitpaste empfiehlt sich jedoch der Tausch des kompletten Kühlmoduls. Teilweise ist in den Kühleinheiten auch Kühlmittel verbaut. Wenn dieses entwichen ist, ist die Kühlung nicht mehr gegeben. Dann muss der kpt. Heatsink getauscht werden.
Wenn dein Laptop zu heiß wird, reagiert das System häufig mit lauten Lüftergeräuschen, Leistungsdrosselung oder automatischem Abschalten.
Die häufigsten Ursachen sind verstaubte Lüftungsschlitze, alte Wärmeleitpaste oder blockierte Luftzufuhr.
Reinige daher zuerst die Lüfteröffnungen und Kühlrippen vorsichtig mit Druckluft oder einem weichen Pinsel.
Stelle sicher, dass der Rechner auf einer festen, glatten Oberfläche steht – nicht auf Kissen oder Decken, die die Luftzirkulation behindern.
Eine externe Kühlunterlage mit integrierten Lüftern verbessert zusätzlich die Wärmeabfuhr.
Überprüfe im Task‑Manager, welche Programme besonders viel Prozessorleistung beanspruchen, und beende unnötige Prozesse.
Wenn dein Laptop weiterhin heiß wird, kann das auf eingetrocknete Wärmeleitpaste oder einen verschlissenen Lüfterhinweisen.
Beides lässt sich bei Bedarf professionell ersetzen oder instand setzen.
Im IPC‑Computer‑Shop findest du originale Ersatzlüfter, Kühlmodule und Wärmeleitpads, und im Notebook‑Doktor‑Blog zeigen dir unsere Techniker Schritt für Schritt, wie du die Kühlung optimieren kannst.
So bleibt dein Notebook kühl, arbeitet stabil – und lebt nachweislich länger.
Wenn ein Laptop überhitzt, sollte man systematisch vorgehen, um die Ursache einzugrenzen und Schäden zu vermeiden. Entscheidend ist, das Kühlsystem zu entlasten und die Wärmeabfuhr wiederherzustellen.
So lässt sich eine Überhitzung sicher beherrschen, bevor Bauteilschäden oder thermische Drosselung eintreten. Eine fachgerechte Wartung – insbesondere Lüfter‑ und Wärmeleitpastenservice – sorgt anschließend dauerhaft für stabile Betriebstemperaturen
Damit dein Laptop dauerhaft kühl und leistungsfähig bleibt, ist regelmäßige Pflege und optimale Luftzirkulation entscheidend.
Reinige mindestens zweimal im Jahr die Lüftungsschlitze und Kühlrippen vorsichtig mit Druckluft oder einem Pinsel, damit sich kein Staub im Kühlsystem festsetzt.
Achte darauf, das Gerät auf einer harten, ebenen Fläche zu verwenden – auf Kissen oder Decken kann die Abluft blockiert werden.
Leistungsstarke Laptops ziehen oft von unten die Luft an. Dann hilft es das Gerät etwas höher zu stellen und hinten “aufzubocken”
Auch eine Kühlunterlage mit aktivem Lüfter hilft, die Temperatur spürbar zu senken – besonders bei rechenintensiver Nutzung oder Gaming.
Über die Energieoptionen von Windows lässt sich zudem die maximale Prozessorleistung leicht reduzieren, was Wärmeentwicklung und Lüfterdrehzahl mindert.
Kontrolliere regelmäßig die Temperaturen mit Tools wie HWMonitor oder Core Temp.
Wenn dein Gerät trotz aller Maßnahmen zu heiß wird oder sich selbstständig abschaltet, kann eine professionelle Reinigung oder ein Tausch der Wärmeleitpaste bzw. des Lüfters notwendig sein.
Für eine gute Kühlung sollte dein Laptop auf einer harten, glatten und luftdurchlässigen Oberfläche stehen – zum Beispiel auf einem Schreibtisch, einer Aluminium‑ oder Glasplatte.
So kann die Luft unter dem Gerät frei zirkulieren und die Wärme besser abgeführt werden.
Weiche Unterlagen wie Bettdecken, Kissen oder der Schoß blockieren die Luftzufuhr – das führt schnell zu Überhitzung von CPU und Grafikeinheit.
Noch besser ist die Verwendung eines Notebook‑Ständers.
Er hebt das Gerät leicht an, verbessert den Luftstrom und sorgt gleichzeitig für eine ergonomischere Arbeitsposition.
Modelle mit integriertem Kühl‑ oder USB‑Lüfter steigern die Kühlleistung zusätzlich, besonders bei leistungsstarken oder älteren Laptops.
Achte außerdem darauf, dass die Rückseite leicht angehoben ist – schon wenige Millimeter sorgen für deutlich bessere Luftzirkulation.
So arbeitet dein Laptop ruhiger, bleibt kühler – und hält nachweislich länger.

Wenn du eine Datei löschst, wird sie vom Betriebssystem nicht sofort vollständig entfernt, sondern der Speicherplatz wird lediglich als „frei“ markiert. Deshalb ist es wichtig, nach einem Datenverlust keine weiteren Daten auf das betroffene Speichermedium zu schreiben, um die Chancen auf eine Wiederherstellung zu erhöhen.
Oft lassen sich verlorene Dateien bereits über den Papierkorb oder die „Vorgängerversionen“ in Windows wiederherstellen; falls das nicht hilft, bieten spezielle Datenrettungsprogramme wie Stellar Data Recovery umfassende Möglichkeiten.
Die Software sucht nach wiederherstellbaren Dateien auf dem ausgewählten Medium und ermöglicht, diese auf einem separaten Speicherort zu sichern – das betroffene Laufwerk sollte nicht weiter benutzt werden, um Überschreiben zu vermeiden.
Auch wenn eine Festplatte formatiert oder eine Partition gelöscht wurde, kann eine Datenrettungssoftware oft noch viele Dateien rekonstruieren, wobei die ursprüngliche Ordnerstruktur jedoch verloren gehen kann.

There are three different types of graphics cards or graphics chips in Notebooks:
With the first type, an exchange of the GPU is usually not a problem, some manufacturers have their own type of proprietary connectors for external GPUs you can purchase and connect one from them directly. There is also Thunderbolt 3 which is present on some modern Notebooks. It allows the connection of an external graphics card from any vendor.
If your GPU is soldered on the mainboard either as a dedicated GPU chip or as part of the CPU an upgrade is almost impossible since it would have to be soldered on and also usually only one chip is compatible with the motherboard and firmware.
Even if the GPU is in a slot like the MXM-slot, which is often found in older laptops, an upgrade is usually not possible. This is due to some measurements not being standardized, the cooling solution not being able to handle a more powerful card or firmware issues.




A Display that stays completely dark is often an indicator for a broken graphics card.
To make sure it is not a defect of the Display itself, plug the Notebook into an external monitor. If it displays a picture the graphics card is not defect but your Laptops internal display. In most cases a broken graphics card cannot be repaired, it has to be replaced.
UMA is an integrated GPU or onboard graphics that, unlike DIS graphics, does not have its own RAM and is usually only used in office devices.
DIS is a dedicated GPU graphic that, unlike UMA graphics, has its own RAM and is mostly used in gaming devices.
Detailed information about the graphics of your model can be found in your instructions or directly from the manufacturer.
Important note: New batteries are partially charged. Fully charge the battery once before using it for the first time so that your system can correctly record the energy status.
See also:The average lifespan of a laptop battery is between 2 and 5 years, depending on usage, charging behavior and ambient temperature. The decisive factor is how many charging cycles the battery goes through - usually between 300 and 1000 cycles until the capacity noticeably decreases.
How to extend the service life:
When to replace? After around 2 to 5 years or when the battery life becomes significantly shorter, it is worth replacing it with a new battery to restore full performance.
See also:A small amount of wear of 1% to 5% on new laptop batteries is completely normal and due to technical reasons.
Deep discharge is when the cell voltage of a battery falls below the permitted minimum. This damages the battery cells so that the battery can often no longer be charged or activated.
These three specifications describe the electrical performance of your battery and together determine the runtime of your laptop.
For orientation: A typical 6-cell battery is 11.1 V / 4400 mAh / approx. 49 Wh and offers around 4 to 6 hours of runtime. Ultrabooks with 60-70 Wh often achieve 8 to 10 hours, while gaming laptops only have a runtime of 2 to 3 hours.
Rule: The same voltage (V) as the original is important. A higher Wh or mAh rating ensures a longer battery life if the battery is compatible.
Here you can find high-quality original laptop batteries or often more powerful IPC-Computer replica batteries.
Yes, the SATA standards are compatible to each other, however the slowest involved connection type will always be used. This means that connecting a SATA 6Gb/s SSD to a SATA 3Gb/s controller will severely limit its peak performance.
More information can be found in the FAQ “What is the difference between P-ATA (IDE), S-ATA, S-ATA II and S-ATA III?”
You can use the disk management utility built into Windows 10.



Just like detailed in the FAQ “What is S.M.A.R.T. and what is it for?” S.M.A.R.T. is an industry standard for the constant monitoring of disk parameters like temperature and read- or write errors. With its help errors can be detected before they happen, the data can be backed up and the drive replaced.
However even with careful monitoring the death of a hard drive can always happen unexpectedly. This is why it is very important to back up important data like invoices or family photos to an external hard drive or the cloud. This should be done in regular intervals so that you always have a complete backup of your data.
If your hard drive breaks a data recovery is expensive and time consuming and not always possible.
The operation in a notebook does not prolong the life of a hard drive. First this is because of the shock and vibrations when moving the device. This can cause the read/write head to crash into the platters in the wort case breaking this head. Move your device carefully while it is on, or even better avoid moving it at all. Secondly, due to the compact formfactor notebooks usually get very warm. That is why putting your device on a notebook cooler can improve the performance and lifespan of your device. Modern solid-state drives are a lot more resilient to shock and heat and therefore more durable, than traditional hard drives.
When swapping out your hard drive please also attach the mounting bracket from the old one to the new one. You also have to be extremely careful not to damage any of the plugs and connectors on the mainboard or the drive.

First thing to consider is the size of the drive. Most M.2 SSDs come in the 2280 form factor. The first two digits indicate the width of the drive in millimeters and the last two, sometimes three digits its length. Other sizes for M.2 cards are 2242, 2260 and 22110, which is sometimes found in servers.
The other difference is in the protocol the drive uses to communicate with the PC. Often less expensive M.2 SSDs still use the SATA protocol, which is also used by drives with more common formfactors. Even though it is rather slow for an SSD, it should still be fast enough for most users. Modern, high-performance M.2 drives use the NVMe protocol which is transmitted via PCI Express. Oftentimes slots, which support PCIe also support SATA, but bevor buying a drive, double check that it is fully compatible.
There are also certain keys, which can give away information about the type of connection used. An SSD with only the M-Key usually uses PCI Express, whereas an SSD with the M- and the B-key usually uses the SATA protocol. The A- and E-key is often used for Wi-Fi cards.

The most used file systems are:
However nowadays most Windows computers use NTFS for their hard drives
The various FAT formats are only used in USB sticks or memory cards.
You have to pay attention, that your hard drive uses the same connection type and form factor or height.
With the very common 2.5” hard drives you have to check whether your notebook still uses the old PATA standard or SATA and also you have to check what height is compatible since there are multiple heights. 7mm, 9mm and 15mm are the most common ones.
For SSDs there are also small form actors like mSATA or M.2. With the latter one you have to check if the slot supports the SATA and/or PCIe (NVMe) protocol.
The only thing that is not limited is the capacity and speed of your new drive.
Our notebook technicians use the following tools for checking the health of disk:
If single sectors of a disk are defective, the data can be cloned to another hard drive. Our technicians use the following tools for this:
When installing a Samsung SSD in your notebook you can use their “Magician” Tool to migrate your data to the new SSD. It is included in the delivery of our Samsung SSD's.
To increase the reliability of hard drives and the data security hard drive manufacturers have developed the Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.). it can read important information about the drive like temperature, power-on time and read-/write errors.
On a hard drive there are so-called sectors. These are the smallest parts than can be read or written to the disk. Traditionally they were 512 Bytes in size. But this allows only so much data to be stored with a given number of sectors. That is why 4 Kilobyte sectors where introduced, these can store eight times the data of 512 Byte sectors. However, not every Operating System and every application were compatible with these larger sectors. This is why manufactures introduced emulated 512 Byte large sectaries (512e). With these the hard drive splits the four Kb sectors into eight 512 Byte sectors, so the OS thinks, that the hard drive has 512 Byte sectors. 512n stand for those drive which have native 512 Byte sectors.
The difference is in the type of connection and its speed.


HDDs or hard disk drives are the most common way of storing large amounts of data in a computer. The data is stored on spinning disks coated with a magnetic material, when writing the polarization of a small part of this coating is reversed by the read-write-head. The polarization can be read by the head later on, to retrieve the data stored on the disks. Since the platters are turning, the read-write head often has to wait until the right part of the disks is under it, to read/write data. This makes HDDs a relatively slow storage medium, especially for randomly accessed data. However, through continuously shrinking the individual magnetic parts and increasing the number of platters per drive, a lot of data can be stored on them. In 2017 it was already up to 14TB per drive.
Unlike HDDs, SSDs or solid-state drives have no moving parts. The information is stored with the help of transistor. This means that no time is wasted waiting for the right part of the platter to arrive to read/write to/from it, therefore SSDS are a lot faster. For one of the fastest SSDs on the market the manufacturer claims speeds up to 3,5GB/s, that is more than 16 times as much as a modern HDD. Additionally, SSDs are much more rugged and long-lived due to the lack of moving parts. Unfortunately, they are a lot more expensive per GB than HDDs and the biggest consumer drives are "only" 4TB in size.
SSHDs, which is short for solid state hybrid drives are a combination of HDDs and SSDs. A small SSD, often 8 to 16 GB is used to cache the data for a 1 to 2 TB HDD. In the cache frequently accessed data and data, that has just been written is stored making the drive a lot faster, when accessing this data. However, when accessing infrequently used data or writing a lot of data to the drive, the solid-state cache can no longer be used and performance drops to the level of an HDD.
If you are interested in buying a new drive, our shop has a lot of different types of drives.
New hard drives are often delivered unpartitioned, the user can decide for himself what kind of file system he would like to use. The Windows Explorer will not recognize these and won’t display them. You can take a look at our FAQ “How can I format or partition a hard drive?” to partition and be able to use your new drive.
See also:Harddrive manufacturers calculate the size using a base of one thousand. That means that 1 KB = 1000 Byte. However the more common calculation uses a base of 2 to the power of 10 or 1 Kb = 1024 Byte.
This small difference appears when going from Byte to KB, to MB and to GB that is why in the end there is a sizable difference between advertised and usable capacity.
Das Öffnen eines Laptops erfordert Sorgfalt, das richtige Werkzeug und etwas Erfahrung.
Grundregeln beim Öffnen:
In unserer Reihe „Mein Laptop von innen“ zeigen wir anschaulich, wie verschiedene Notebook‑Modelle aufgebaut sind und welche Schritte nötig sind, um sie sicher zu öffnen.
Die Videos helfen dir, die Bauweise unterschiedlicher Marken (z. B. HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer) besser zu verstehen und zeigen, wo sich Akku, Mainboard oder RAM befinden.
Wenn du dir beim Öffnen unsicher bist oder fest verbaute Komponenten besitzt, übernehmen unsere Techniker in der Werkstatt den sicheren Ausbau und die Reparatur.
Tip: We can carry out the replacement professionally in our workshop on request. Simply select installation included when purchasing the battery in the store.
The only reliable method: Data comparison
The only really reliable method is to compare the technical data between the battery label and the battery firmware (BMS/BIOS).
Test features and indicators (warning signals)
Conclusion: As counterfeits represent a safety risk, it is advisable to only buy laptop batteries from trustworthy specialist dealers such as IPC-Computer.
As batteries are now usually permanently installed in the housing, the easiest way to find them is via the manufacturer and model name of your device.
This is how you can find the battery in our store:
Tip: If you cannot find your exact sub-model number (e.g. 15-eg3413ng), you can search for the model series (e.g. 15-eg0000) without hesitation. Batteries are always identical and compatible within the model series.
Alternatively, you can also enter the part number (Part No.) of the old, removed battery directly in the store search field.
Our recommendation: IPC-Computer always recommends the original battery. This comes directly from the manufacturer or its certified supplier (e.g. LG, Sanyo).
→ Original advantages: Precisely matched to the laptop model (electronics, protection circuit, cell quality), maximum service life, optimum performance and maximum safety.
Conclusion: If it is available, choose the original battery. If it is out of stock, our IPC own brand is a tested and safe alternative. You can find both variants in our store.
See also:What the warranty does not cover:
Batteries are wearing parts. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not the normal loss of capacity (wear and tear) that occurs over time or damage caused by improper handling (e.g. heat).
Your benefit: Warranty extension
Unfortunately, this s not possible for multiple reasons:
This is technically possible, to help you with the repair we have some exemplary instructions.
You can only install keyboards intended for the use in your model. So, when your current keyboard does not have a numpad you will not be able to install one with a numpad, since they would be too large. The same is true for keyboards with numpad, ones without numpad would then be too small.
However, there is the option to use an external numpad connected via USB.
The FN-key is similar to the shift or the alt-key. Oftentimes there are secondary functions marked by a different color, which can be accessed by pressing the FN-key and the respective key.
Usually these are functions like volume up or down, mute, changing the brightness of the screen or media controls.
In Windows 10 hit the Windows-key and type "language", then hit the enter-key. In the settings menu that opens klick the plus sign next to "Add a language" and select the language you wish to add. It could be, that the Layout might still need to be downloaded, so make sure your computer is connected to the internet. When you left-click on a language, further options appear such as making it the default language. When you have two or more available keyboard layouts, there will be the abbreviation of the layout you are currently using in the bottom right in the taskbar. You can change the layout by clicking on it.
The part number can be found on the back of the keyboard. To view it the notebook has to be disassembled.
The picture below shows a possibility, what the labeling might look like and which numbers are relevant for your search for a new keyboard. With this number you can find a replacement in our shop.

The easiest option is to search for your notebook model in our Shop. We will then list all the keyboards, that are compatible with your device.
Should you not be able to find the keyboard like this, you can try searching for its part number.
See also:Most countries have their own keyboard Layout. Usually the device has the layout of the country it has been bought in.
The English layout can be recognized by the first six Characters of the top row of letters. That's also why it is called QWERTY-layout, another common abbreviation for it would be ENG-layout.

There can be multiple reasons for its failure.

The runtime depends on the display brightness, processor load, temperature and battery age. You can improve it in two ways:
1. optimize software & usage
2. upgrade through hardware
If your current battery is already low, you can consider buying a replacement battery with higher performance (more Wh).
During calibration, the battery is fully charged once, then completely discharged and then fully charged again. This allows Windows 11 to recalculate the actual capacity and display the battery correctly again.
This is how it works step by step:
Important: Calibration only improves the battery status display, it does not restore lost battery capacity. If the battery remains low, it is advisable to replace the battery.
You can significantly extend the service life of your battery by charging it correctly and avoiding heat :
Power management in Windows directly affects how long your laptop lasts on a single battery charge by controlling processor power, screen brightness, fan behavior, and background processes. The actual runtime can vary by several hours depending on the profile you choose.
The most important power profiles at a glance
| Profile | Focus | Typical runtime | Effect on battery life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy saving mode | Maximum endurance | 5 to 7 hours | Extends runtime by approximately 20 to 40 % by reducing the CPU clock frequency and switching off components. |
| Balanced | Power & endurance | 4 to 6 hours | Offers a good balance between performance and runtime for normal everyday use. |
| Maximum performance | Maximum performance | 2 to 3 hours | Consumes the most energy and drains the battery the fastest. |
Additional fine adjustments
You can get an additional 30 to 60 minutes of battery life by using the advanced power settings. These include measures such as:
The runtime is difficult to estimate as it depends on many factors (CPU, display, WLAN, graphics chip). However, you can roughly calculate it and extend it by taking simple measures.
How to calculate the battery life
The battery life (t) is calculated by dividing the stored energy (Wh) by the power consumption (W) of your laptop:
Battery life (t) = energy (Wh) / power (W)
Example (15.6" laptop): With a usual power consumption of approx. 20 W, a 60 Wh battery lasts for about 3 hours.
Calculate energy (Wh): The stored energy (Wh) is calculated from the voltage (V) and the amount of charge (Ah).
→ The formula is: Energy (Wh) = voltage (V) * charge quantity (Ah)
→ Example: For a 6-cell battery with 4400 mAh (4.4 Ah) and 11.1 V, the result is: 48.84 Wh.
Tips for extending the battery life
You can significantly increase the battery life by reducing the power consumption (power W):
On average, a full charge takes between 1.5 and 3 hours.
Rule of thumb: A full charge of your battery generally takes approx. 30 - 50% longer than a full discharge (e.g. a running time of 2 hours corresponds to a charging time of approx. 2 hours and 48 minutes).
Factors influencing the charging time
The charging time depends largely on the battery capacity (Wh/mAh) and the power of your power supply unit.
| Influencing factor | Description | Typical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity (Wh/mAh) | Larger capacity (e.g. 6000 mAh vs. 2200 mAh) requires longer charging time. | A 6000 mAh battery requires approx. 4.5-5 hours. |
| Power supply output | Higher wattage (W) provides more power. | 90 W → fast 45 W → slow |
| Operating status | If the laptop is switched on, the charging time is extended by approx. 20-40%. | Extends the charging time by approx. 20-40% |
| Charging control | The gentle mode reduces the charging current from approx. 80%. | The last 20% takes the longest. |
| Temperature | Too hot or too cold = lower charging power. | A range of 10 - 35 °C is ideal. |
Practical value: Many laptops reach around 80% charge after about 2 hours. The rest takes a little longer due to the gentle charging mode.
Exemplary charging times
| Battery capacity (Wh) | Typical laptop size | Full charge with 90 W power supply unit |
|---|---|---|
| 35 Wh | Compact ultrabooks / 13" | approx. 1-1.5 hours |
| 48 Wh | Standard laptops / 14" | approx. 1.5-2 hours |
| 65 Wh | Multimedia or gaming laptops | approx. 2 hours |
| 90 Wh | High-performance laptops | approx. 2.5-3 hours |


This is possible if you have the right skills and feel confident enough to do it. You can try this by removing and reinstalling your current optical drive. However, it is very important to motorize the position of all screws and brackets, by using the wrong screws you could potentially damage your drive or computer.
Additionally, the following videos might help, even though they are in German.
This is technically possible, although there are a few things you need to consider.
First your DVD drive needs to be connected via SATA and not PATA, because that is what all Blu-Ray drives use. Second you should test, whether your system meets the requirements of playing a Blu-Ray with a tool like BD & 3D Advisor by Cyberlink.
That your optical drive won't open could be due to a program using it. Try killing it using the task manager. The you should be able to open the optical drive again.
Should this method not work, try opening the drive by inserting something like a paperclip into the emergency eject hole in the front bezel. However, this method does not work with slot in drives.
In this case or in the case that the drive still won't open you will have to consult a specialist.

Optical drive manufacturers used o use different types of bezels for their drives, which made it hard wo find one for your drive. That is why the “General Bezel Assembling Standard” has been created, now most bezels should fit on most optical drives.

Which optical drive can be installed in your Notebook depends on three factors
Which connection type is used? (SATA or PATA)
What height of optical drive is used? (Slim 12,5mm or SuperSlim 9,5mm)
Does your laptop meet the System requirements?
SATA drives can not be used with a PATA controller and vice versa.
Before installing your new optical drive, make sure you attached the mounting bracket from the old drive to the new one.
Most optical drives are sold without a bezel, make sure you attach the old one to the new drive.
With the tool BD & 3D Advisor you can check whether your System has enough performance to play Blu-Rays.



In Germany and GB region code 2 is used, in the USA and Canada it is region code 1. Further information can be found in this Wikipedia-article.
In most cases this is due to the material fatigue of the laser head, due to this it can no longer focus the beam enough to read the track width on a DVD. However it still works with CDs because they use a wider track.
If it still won't work thee is the suspicion, that your device drive might be broken.
3D Secure is a technology used by banks, to make your online banking more secure.
After entering the three-digit security code from the back of your card you are redirected to website, that is specific to your bank. There you will have to enter a password, a one-time key or provide another form of identification. Exactly which methods are possible or even mandatory is up to your bank to decide. If you want to use 3D secure is not up to you to decide, it is either implemented in the shop or not or required by the bank.
The thought behind 3D Secure is that not all information needed to make a purchase is on your card. This make your card useless to thieves even for online purchases.
It is known under different names such as "Verified by VISA".

Most product groups are very specific, that is why we closely check for compatibility with your Notebook model. However, there are exceptions. Product groups like hard drives, RAM and optical drives are standardized. There are only a few specifications, that have to match up with your device. For example, if your Notebook now has a 2.5” hard drive which is 9,5 mm high and has a SATA connection, your notebook will fit all 2.5” SATA drives which are 9,5 mm or slimmer.
Yes, you can, it only requires a bit of technical knowledge and maybe a manual.
We recommend letting a technician do it.
There are notebooks where the RAM is located on the back of the machine, these often have an access hatch for easier installation of RAM. If the RAM is located underneath the keyboard a full disassembly of the notebook is required.
You can install RAM from a different manufacturer, as long as the specifications are the same.
For example, when your computer currently has a DDR3 SO-DIMM module with a speed of 1600MHz installed, you should only use DDR3 SO-DIMMs with a 1600 MHz speed to upgrade/replace your RAM. It is possible to use different frequencies but the system will then use the speed of the slowest RAM module.
In diesem Video klären wir wie Sie den passenden RAM für ihr Gerät finden und bestellen können!
From DDR4 onwards, the MHz no longer play a role in the compatibility.
Die „Taktfrequenz“ beschreibt die Geschwindigkeit des Moduls, die CAS Latenz beschreibt die Anzahl der Taktzyklen. Generell gilt, je höher die Modulgeschwindigkeit desto besser und je geringer die CL Zahl, desto besser! Die gesamte Latenz eines Arbeitsspeichers berechnet sich über die Taktzykluszeit, welche über die Modulgeschwindigkeit abgeleitet werden kann und die CAS Latenz:
Latenz (ns) = = Taktzykluszeit (ns) x Anzahl der Taktzyklen
RAM-Hersteller wie Micron empfehlen deshalb - achten Sie beim Kauf eines Moduls auf beides! Mehr Infos zu diesem Thema gibt es in diesem Blog-Beitrag
The difference between the two types of DDR3 is in their supported voltages. Normal DDR3 requires 1,5 Volt, whereas DDR3L (L for Load reduced) also supports 1,35 Volt. This reduction in voltage results in a slightly lower power consumption. However, this reduction is so small, that the difference in battery life caused by using load reduced RAM even in laptops is hardly noticeable. It only makes a difference in data centers with hundreds of computers, each with up to 32 memory modules.
Even though the power consumption difference is tiny, you have to watch out for compatibility. Systems, which only support normal DDR3 usually, work with DDR3L, too, because it also supports 1,5 Volt. But there are computers, especially laptops, which only support DDR3L. Normal DDR3 might work here, however this is not guaranteed and might come with some stability issues. So, if you are not sure, which type of DDR3 your system needs, it is better to buy the load reduced variant or consult an expert.
Expanding the main memory by retrofitting a RAM module is a common tuning measure. Significant improvements result when working with many applications in parallel or when the device already swaps out data to the FP by default (swapping) from the operating system. Nowadays, more and more devices have their main memory soldered directly to the mainboard and can therefore not be replaced. The decisive factor is whether the device still has a free slot for additional memory modules and how many GB you can put in there in total. If such a free slot is available, it is important to determine the right memory module and insert it into the appropriate slot, which is usually located under the bottom of the device or under the keyboard. Almost all devices, with the exception of some ultrabooks and netbooks, already have two or more sockets for storing memory modules. Up to which GB maximum size you can upgrade depends on the mainboard, chipset (information on this is provided in the device manual) and the availability of the modules.

It could because you installed a 32-Bit operating system, since they can only address up to 4 GB of RAM. Additionally, other system components like your graphics card also need RAM. That is why if you have 4GB installed you won’t be able to utilize every last MB of it.
A 64-bit operating system can address more than 4GB of RAM. So, you can install more than 4GB even in an older Notebook, provided the rest of the hardware supports it too.

When you send in your notebook for repair, your data will not be deleted or changed by us. Your data will remain unchanged. If you send in your notebook for a HDD exchange, the new HDD remains free and your old HDD will be sent back to you together with your notebook. Before sending in your notebook, you can make a data backup on, for example, an external HDD and thus protect your data from loss. Data backups are not only recommended before a repair, but should be done regularly to protect your data from hard drive damage. If you can not perform a backup and do not want to send your data with your notebook, you can remove the HDD of your notebook and send your notebook without hard drive.

The difference between the specifications is their maximum throughput.
Yes, this possibility exists. After the installation of Windows 11, you have a 10-day test phase in which you can switch back to Windows 10 without any problems, and all your data will be transferred back.
If you decide to switch back after the 10 days, you must back up your data and reinstall Windows 10.
Generally, this is not possible; if your notebook does not meet the requirements for Windows 11, it will not be possible to install the operating system. Keep in mind that Windows 11 is not yet on the market and things can still change in the course of the year.
If, despite everything, you are unable to install Windows 11 when it is officially launched on the market in autumn 2021 to early 2022. However, you don't have to worry about having to replace your current notebook immediately. Microsoft has committed to supporting Windows 10 until October 2025.
Yes, that is possible. In this video we show how it works.
If you want to install Windows 11 on a notebook that has been in use for a few years, there may be problems. In general, there should be no problems on notebooks that are less than four years old. You can already check the compatibility of your notebook with the help of tools. You can find the tools in the FAQ entry "How can I test whether Windows 11 works on my notebook".
You can easily find out whether a TPM is already installed and activated in your notebook by doing a quick search in the Windows settings.
1. To do this, open the Start menu and search for the term “TPM” or “security chip” and confirm the search by pressing Enter.
2. A window will open showing you some information. The information relevant to the TPM is “Specification version.”
3. For your system to be compatible with Windows 11, you need specification version 2.0.
If nothing is displayed or “Not ready” is displayed, your notebook either does not have a TPM or the existing one is disabled. You can read how to activate your TPM in our FAQ - How do I activate my TPM?
To enable a disabled TPM, you need to access your BIOS. In the BIOS, you can usually find the corresponding TPM settings via the security settings under "Security Device Support", "Security" or similar. How to open the BIOS can be found in the respective manual of the mainboard.
According to Microsoft, the free upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 has no official end date, so you can take your time with the upgrade. However, Microsoft reserves the right to end support for the free offer, but this will not be until one year after general availability at the earliest.
