Hi
I need all your valuable suggestions on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop purchased in 2008 for 42000 odd with windows vista home OS. I got it general serviced in 2012 in Dell Service centre. Till March 2017 I never faced a problem. In March 2017 I took it to Global Technologies due to frequent shutdowns where they said it is heat sink problem charged 1300 and replaced the heat sensors. I don't have AC at home at present so its hot especially during summers. In August 2017 again there was shutdown problem now they said it is IC problem of motherboard. They replaced it and charged 1100. But two days later there was same problem and they said the actual problem is with Adapter capacitor and they replaced it and they tested it for 4 - 5 days running almost 12 hrs per day. Later on the fan started giving noise in particular positions and they said it is bearing problem and needs to be replaced. I requested them to repair they just lubricated the fan and now it is fine. Yesterday the display started showing horizontal bars and system got freeze and did not start again. I took to the same service people and they removed one 2GB ram and said it got failed. I purchased 2 X 2GB rams customized dell laptop. Now it is running on one 2GB ram. Battery life expired and dvd drive detecting only dvds and not cds.
My queries:
1) What is the life of the present laptop i have. Should i invest on adapter, battery, fan, ram?
2) If I expend on above things how long will it run? Service center people say the system's life is reduced and I need to buy a new laptop as the mother board / display might damage in future. As this is my first laptop I am attached to it and there was no problem till recent time. Even If I go to Dell Service Centre I hope they would suggest the same or charge costly for each of the above parts as required and service charge is extra.
3) Should I purchase a new laptop and if yes what brand and model , with durability and warranty covered and windows 10 inbuilt OS? I use for general browsing, very rarely watch movies on dvds / cds, online videos. My purpose is programming with database, pdf reading, browsing, very less movie watching. I should be able to run system for 8 -12 hrs. My budget is max 20 - 25k.
4) What is the procedure to ensure good battery life for a laptop?
Do answer all my queries suggesting your valuable opinions immediately after the query itself.
Happy Navratri and Dasara festival.
Thanks and regards
