    Question Is my HDD about to fail?

    Hello, I've got a Seagate Barracuda 3.5 1TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 for storage and a Kingston 120GB SSD for my OS and after recently upgrading to Windows 11 it feels like opening some folders takes longer than usual as well as searching for a file through all the partitions, I also would like to...

    Question Could router be blocking internet access to wireless cameras?

    Hello, I've got a Tenda N300 router. Everything is working fine besides trying to connect 2 wireless cameras (each one a different brand). Tried both by wireless and LAN cables but it will still not give them internet access for some reason. One uses the YCC365 Plus and the other iCSee app if...

    Question HP Probook 4710s powers on but no display ?

    So after unplugging the display cable and powering it on it seems to boot. The hard drive starts up as well which previously didn't seem to and that left side LED begins blinking. Then when I connect a VGA or HDMI cable I can see the screen. For some reason I was getting a BSOD because of a bad...

    Question HP Probook 4710s powers on but no display ?

    Hello. I've got an old HP Probook 4710s and it suddenly stopped working. When I power it on the fan starts spinning, I can hear the DVD drive move, and the display's backlight turns on but nothing is happening. Here's the stuff I tried: Removing battery, holding power button for 15-30 seconds...

    [SOLVED] Asus X541NA boots straight to BIOS

    Welp, turns out all I had to do was stick a bootable USB in there and just install Windows. Then instead of my SSD, a Windows boot manager appeared there and it now boots just fine when I power it on. Learned something new today.

    [SOLVED] Asus X541NA boots straight to BIOS

    I've had a failing hard drive on it that kept corrupting Windows so I kept re-installing the OS until one day it stopped booting the hard drive and instead began going straight to the BIOS. I figured the hard drive is pretty much toast and so I got myself a SSD. Replaced it, powered on the...

    Question HP pavilion g6 powers on with no display

    Actually yes. Yesterday after a closer look I noticed that it blinks twice then pauses, then blinks twice again and after looking it up it may be the BIOS. I am now about to attempt to recover it by downloading it from the HP site and transferring it to a USB drive and try to install it by...

    Question HP pavilion g6 powers on with no display

    On the back it says g6 -- 2220su. There's a dash between g6 and 2220su so I'm guessing it is?

    Question HP pavilion g6 powers on with no display

    I've got a HP pavilion g6-2220su that stopped displaying anything on the screen. I tried connecting an external monitor but nothing appears there as well. After a bunch of random restarts I finally managed to get a screen for 5 minutes or so both on its LCD and the external monitor with Windows...

    [SOLVED] I killed the battery trying to fix WiFi signal on laptop

    Turns out there is a micro button that keeps something inside pushed once the back cover is properly attached and if it does not push it, the battery is turned off. I didn't attach the back cover properly because I just wanted to quickly test the WiFi. Now that it is in place it is working again.

    [SOLVED] I killed the battery trying to fix WiFi signal on laptop

    That's just how it is positioned there and it is fully plugged in. The wires seem to lead to the AC adapter port.

    [SOLVED] I killed the battery trying to fix WiFi signal on laptop

    A friend of mine brought me his Acer Aspire F5-573G which has really bad WiFi signal and he claims he got it like that after receiving it back from a repair shop a while ago. At first I thought it would be faulty drivers so I did the usual steps of re-installing, rolling back and whatnot but...

    Question Unable to install Windows 7 on an old HP G60

    Thank you for the replies everyone. So I tried with another Windows 7 ISO on a USB flash drive but again it refused to install it. I then downloaded a Vista ISO and that one managed to install without any issues. Next thing I did was run HDTune to see if anything's up with the hard drive and...

    Question Unable to install Windows 7 on an old HP G60

    None of the above options unfortunately. Should I burn or create some bootable hard drive testing tool to see if there are any issues with it? If so which one would you recommend?
