Yes, and the battery was repaired and not replaced.

I was unable to procure a new battery. As I've mentioned in the post I got it repaired (Basically had some of its cells swapped out). I did shut it down like one usually would. I let it shut down today and left it for 2 hours and that did not drop any% of my battery. It's something that happens...

Hello everyone. I got my laptop's battery repaired due to an issue I posted earlier here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/laptop-no-longer-runs-on-battery-stuck-at-0.3790534/ I am satisfied with their service so far. The battery runs for about 4-5 hours although it takes longer to...

Hello everyone, I've had this issue for a while now (about a month). I've tried reinstalling drivers, removing charging limits and most other suggested methods online but to no avail. My last resort is to reinstall Windows 11 but I'm not sure if it would help. My laptop battery hasn't been the...

I just bought a used laptop from a friend and he has windows 11 installed. I asked if I could revert back to windows 11 and he told me that I just need to install windows 10 and it will automatically install the original windows 10 professional key during the install. How do I go about doing this?

Update: I removed my GPU the next day and everything seems to work fine. Perhaps it was multiple drivers not playing nice with each other? I often flash AMD cards for my mining rig and the AMD drivers are installed too.

Yesterday I was working on photoshop and it crashed. I tried recovering my work which I successfully did but then it crashed again. Today I wake up to find that most programs open up for 5-10 seconds only to see a loading cursor for a second before they close. This includes the software...

I first ran it on a Power Station 3 (80 bronze) Today I tried another one of the same model and a Thermaltake Smart SPD-0600. There's no visible difference between them.

I've tried everything in the "No POST", "system won't boot", and "no video output" troubleshooting checklist. The system I was building was booting up just fine when I assembled it. Two days later today when I start it up there's no video output on my monitor, it's as if there's nothing...

It's a Dell optiplex 7020. 4th gen i5, 16gb ram, 500gb hdd, a 290w psu. No dedicated GPU.

I tried removing the cmos battery to reset the BIOS. Now the computer boots up but shows no display whatsoever. The power button LED now blinks orange.

Sorry if this isn't the right topic. I just shifted my office PC from one desk to another. When I reconnected all the wiring it started up for a second then shut down. A few seconds later it started up again only to shut down like before. This loop kept going on until I had to pull the plug...

My computer would randomly shut-off at times so I got the PSU replaced and bought a new GPU and display along with it. My computer runs fine on the iGPU now. But my old GPU gives no video output. I plugged in the new GPU and it displays the BIOS screen but the screen goes black before the...
