Guys please help. For many days ants were getting inside my laptop. Yesterday I shut it down properly and kept it aside because I was scared they might cause some issue internally. Laptop was working completely fine at that time.
Today when I tried turning it on, it suddenly powered on by itself once and then shut down. Now it’s completely dead and not opening at all. I’m also getting a slight burnt/electrical smell sometimes.
I have Lenovo Accidental Damage Protection/Warranty. Does something like insect damage or short circuit usually get covered? Has anyone faced this before?
What should I do right now?
Should I avoid charging/turning it on again?
Can service center repair this properly?
Any chance motherboard got shorted because of ants?
Really stressed because I have exams too. Any guidance would help
Since title bars on windows fell out of use (for unknown reasons), I've yet to find a consistent way to grab and move windows around. Each app uses a different spot, and if you grab the wrong spot, you can mis-click a feature. Maybe I'm going about dragging entirely wrong? I miss title bars; can they forced back on via registry setting or something? Thank You.
My family is planing to buy 50mbps internet. Me and my brother are the only one who watch movies and play games, we only have one laptop and my parents only used phones during night or breaktime.
Is 50 mbps enough on our situation? (PS, this is first time we're going to have internet since we can't afford it years ago)
Hi everyone,
I’m posting here because I’ve been struggling with a very frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issue on my new PC, and I really need help from people with more experience.
My system does not always crash with a Blue Screen of Death. Instead, it completely freezes randomly:
Has anyone experienced something similar with Intel 14th Gen CPUs and DDR5 on ASUS ROG Strix motherboards?
Could this be related to:
I’m honestly running out of ideas, so any real help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, my partner dropped their phone just now and the screen is completely unresponsive. The side buttons work and they are able to turn on Siri but we tried doing the thing with voiceover on and we can’t unlock the phone that way. The charging port is also broken on the phone and my partner has been using a wireless charger for it for a long time now. I’m wondering if there’s any way we can get all the data off of it because a lot of their really important information is on there. I wanted to ask here because we can’t take it to the store tonight.
I was on my pc when I heard a pop and my screen flickered once, no more flickering since and no burning smell or anything like that. I have a surge protecting extension cord. Don't know what to do now about my pc or the popping sound
Additionally other devices are fast with home wifi, it's just this one device (laptop) that's not fast
The wifi driver is up to date, evrything is fine, this speed issue has been the same since I bought this.
I been managing it with my phone with usb tethering.
Even when using hotspot the speed isn't nearly at it's peak.
And EVEN in usb tethering way the speed isn't reaching the absolute peak, there's always a trade off
Here's how it looks with numbers
Straight off my router itself is very slow , it's 2.4 ghz, but it does it's job, and my lap or phone isn't high end so it doesn't bother me, what bothers me is how much speed difference there is between my 3 year old mobile and the fairly modern laptop
Numbers ;
Peak speed with my phone 11 MB/s
With mobile hotspot to laptop : 3 MB/s
With usb tethering/ethernet : 7 MB/s
With straight connection to home wifi/router : under 500 KB/s (sometimes even it just refuse to load anything)
At first when I bought the lap i thought it's an issue with router, since it's fairly old and has issues often
But it's not.
And it's windows 11
I know I am supposed to have a back up, but hadn't expected this to happen in literally the first month of me owning this, I was also occupied with finals*
I had accidentally knocked off a Seagate 5 TB external hard drive off of my desk, my body partially broke the impact and it hit the floor on the corner (it has a plastic body). It wasn't running when this happened. It was roughly a 2.2 feet drop (it dropped the remaining 1 feet after hitting up against my leg).
When I turned it on, no weird sounds or vibrations. When I delicately tilted the hard drive, I heard no loose moving parts. When I ran a S.M.A.R.T scan, everything returned in perfect conditions. My PC still recognizes the hard drive and files on the hard drive can run.
Should I be worried about the health of my hard drive?
I’ve been having this problem for a few days now but didn’t realize how serious it was until today.
None of the programs on my PC will recognize the strong wifi it has. Not Steam, not Microsoft Edge, nothing. However, I got Edge to claim once that it was being blocked by the fire wall. Searching about this suggested that an antivirus may be to blame.
The problem is, I can’t even search for anything as the search bar on the bottom kicks me out every time, and if I try to search by clicking the window’s icon, it too will then error out.
The closest culprit I can find is Norton 360 for gamers expired about a week or so ago, and when I look at the icon, it’s only a white page. It’s practically pretending to be uninstalled, but then if I right click on a file and click ‘show more options’, and option for Norton 360 for gamers pops up, but hovering over it only says subscription expired: subscribe. Clicking it results in absolutely nothing.
I’m at a lost because I can’t get into Norton, I can’t get into Windows Defender (only Windows Security and ‘Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security’ which apparently isn’t the Windows Defender program I’m supposed to get into) and I can’t bring up Command Prompt for other solutions offered that way.
What’s driving me more crazy is I don’t know how this could have happened. It was working fine the day it went crazy, then I unplugged it from the usual monitor and plugged it into my TV. That’s it. This problem started right after that. (I unplugged an HDMI cord from the Motherboard (guess I panicked plugged that in at start) and didn’t plug it back in for the switch, but I mean, that’s not supposed to be required for casual PC usage anyways, right?)
Does anyone have any idea of something I could do? Or do I need to factory reset my whole PC? (wouldn’t be devastating past needing to reinstall my games. I’ve only had this a few months and have had a lapse of chronic illness throughout, so no important files have been made yet)
Hey guys. So I’ll be honest, I have a flash drive with a lot of spank bank material on it. I guess it’s recently become corrupted and I’m not sure how to go about fixing it (if it is even fixable). The drive is recognized, and some pictures and videos are fine, but others either won’t load, half the picture will show with the rest grayed out, or more than half is blocked. Is there anything I can do? I’ve tried moving them over to another FD but the same error occurs.
Thanks.
I dropped my Apple dual charging adapter brick into the toilet and right after it went in I directly yanked it out. however, I was wondering, am I still able to use this or not? I left it out to dry for a night. The cost of an adapter is high even for cheap options
We tried resetting the ram, testing both sticks, removing the cmos battery, and letting it sit and boot for a while.
She had an asus motherboard as well
So I got an Iso file for nfs undercover for the first time. I saw a reddit post saying all I need to do is mount it and I'm good. I mounted it in my empty partition and now it has the icon of nfs and it blackscreened my device when I first mounted it. How do I remove it. I'm on windows
My computer has been freezing. I don't know what's causing it, but it doesn't do it while I'm playing games. It will freeze anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. It isn't consistent in regards to when it does it, time between freezes, etc. Task manager doesn't show anything, Malwarebytes doesn't show anything, I just factory reset my computer and that didn't do anything.
At this point, thinking it might be a hardware issue, any suggestions on how to test that without physically removing the parts?
I have a mailing list that I absolutely have to use this week. I have a book launch coming up and my advance readers need to get their reviews in.
I can’t email them. I tried to, using a CSV file from the opt in and imported the contacts to my new outlook email. Straight to their spam folder. Paid $100 and everything for the subscription.
Did some research and apparently you need your own domain email to not go to spam. I made a Microsoft business account or something and paid for that and now I have my own domain email. Sent an email from it, and straight to spam.
I’m at a loss, idk what to do, I have to contact 100 people asap and I can’t get through. I have another Hotmail address which is very old I was going to use by sending one email at a time but I don’t know if that’ll make a difference.
I'm not sure if anyone has encountered this before, or if it even is a problem, but randomly on my desktop a DATA (D:) drive has just appeared and is nearly empty. I have had this desktop for years now and have just been using an external hard drive since the Acer (C:) drive was too small to put any games on. Randomly today though a DATA (D:) drive just showed up in the drivers section. I have checked it for errors, tried to restart to see if it went away, and looked up the hardware name. I didn't know I had two hard drives. Does anyone know why this just appeared and what exactly it is? Is it safe to use?
When I go into the about section of the settings on my PC my storage says 1.14 TB with 878 GB used. Under the C: drive however I seem to have about 256 GB total with 222 GB used.
The DATA (D:) hardware name is: ST1000DM003-1sb102
The Acer (C:) hardware name is: LITEON CV1-8B256
Hello I was looking at my pc and I happened to notice recently that a app was blocking me temporarily from turning my pc off. It was called KBDaemon and I looked into it. It was apparently a popular key logger malware. I wanted to spread awareness about it and ask. I believe I deleted it with uninstalling the mouse software but could it still be active and if so what should I do about it?

Hi everyone,My laptop's 'D' key has stopped working completely when pressed by itself. However, if I press 'S' and 'D' together, it successfully types out "sd".
Is this a hardware/keyboard matrix issue, or a weird software glitch?
Laptop Model: ROG
OS: Windows

Im on a gaming laptop made by Gigabyte, the G5 KF_MF_GF_QSG to be exact if that means anything
it has an I5 with a 5060 and i have a 512 gig ssd as my main drive with 64 gigs of RAM then i have a 1.5-terabyte external hard drive which i use to house my catalogue of games and such i very rarely download anything to my main drive except the absolute essentials
And i understand that that space might just be from daily use or something but id really like to have my storage back
