  1. no you cannot fix a laptop yourself. Your warranty may cover it


  2. smoke is never good but i could have told you when you were buying the laptop to expect this before you throwthe laptop in the bin there is atleast one part that would not be broken and is quite vauable to do t hi you will need a srew driver

    close te laptop

    turn it over

    look for  a square crack about 8cm x 5cm (these are just an estimate)

    these will probaby be a s***w on  tab

    unskrew it

    you will now probably see a shiny retangular thing witha white label on it

    this is the harddrive it has all  the presious photos or assignments you thaght you had lost on it you take it t your local computer shop they will be happy to burn the files pn dvd or put it io a flsh drive for you

    you can then sell the harddrive

    abt getting a new laptop i highly recomend you buy asus  they ar a very god  computer prerirical manufturer and are quite cheap

    anyway sorry to hear abot the broken laptop but i susect ithr the prcessor or the motherboad burned out
