Checked all that and it all looks good. Also wiped it down with a cloth but the aforementioned problems are all still happening. Another thing I'm just noticing with some more testing is that the banding sometimes won't happen on black and white professional pictures I've downloaded (as opposed...

I have a Brother HL-3140CW printer. It's always worked fine, but I'm suddenly having multiple problems with the quality of the printouts. When I print in color, there's vertical banding on the page. There's more of it on the left side. The colors on the left side of the page are also lighter...

My computer has two internal hard drives--when I got it a friend installed an SSD as the primary drive and moved the one the computer came with to the optical drive slot. A few days after he did this my computer stopped recognizing the second drive. I think what I did to fix it that time was...

When I'm on a page, if I press the mouse button to scroll down a single page, it goes a bunch of pages at once. This has happened before and unplugging and plugging the mouse back in would fix it for awhile, but now it's doing it even when I do that. I'm using Windows 10.

Having an additional problem now. Trying to do the "safely remove hardware" thing to eject the hard drive to see if then I can open the programs that won't open, and it's telling me "The device is not removable and cannot be ejected or unplugged."

My mom accidentally unplugged my external hard drive while I was using it and my computer is messed up now. It's superslow to boot up and some programs won't open. A friend suggested I run the chkdsk command on the external, and when I do that it tells me it found bad clusters and I should run...

I don't think vacuuming would do anything more than the canned air did.

This is on a laptop. It's not a separate keyboard. I also wanted to mention that when I remove the keycap and press down on it myself, the key goes down and comes back up like normal. It's not actually stuck pressed down.

My cat is fond of walking across my laptop keyboard, and the last time she did it she got my P key stuck. Searching tells me to use canned air and clean under the key with rubbing alcohol, and I did both those things, but it's still happening. I don't think there's actually something stuck under...
