I'll try Jscreenfix, but since it's black I don't expect it to do anything. It's not really that bad, so will it be fine if I don't RMA or will it cause other issues?

Just got a new laptop, it's got this annoying black spot on the screen. Is it a dead pixel and can I fix it without RMA?

My PC has always had this issue where it would take a minute before stuff appears on screen. Sometimes nothing appears at all and 2 lights on the motherboard would go on (VGA and Boot, see picture). All fans are spinning and the RAM RGB works. It's built on 20-01-2021 What I tried: Clear CMOS...

Yeah I instantly disconnected everything. I'll send it to Dell since it still has a few months warranty, hope they can fix it if it's broken. Thanks for the suggestion!

I was just watching some youtube on my Latitude 3189, it randomly shut itself down like all power was unplugged. I had the charger connected and the battery was still like 70%. It smelled like it burnt. I have no idea if I can use it safely. Will it boot up like normal or will the battery or...

The CMOS connection seems good. The crack was on the other side. The power button seems fine other than that led part. I've used it like this for like 3 years probably and never had any issues other than this. Will look into a proper keyboard, will try from Asus themselves, but they probably...

UPDATE: I fixed most issues. A piece of the CMOS battery holder was broken off. Put it back together with superglue and now I can shutdown without having to reinstall Windows and losing BIOS settings. For the power button, there was a screw loose. Put it back in and it clicks way better. LED...

This is what the connector on the board looks like: This is what the connector on the button looks like: From what I can see the button part is fine, it's just on the motherboard. There was some smoke coming from that area a fea years ago, so I'm assuming it's been burnt for some time.

The ports look fine to me. I've removed the battery and only using charger, same issues. I'll try using my sister's charger soon (from a toshiba laptop, power output is the same and I've used it before when the original charger broke). Wouldn't suprise me if the charger is the problem here, I've...

So I've got some issues with my Asus K53SC. I've tried reinstalling Windows, updating all drivers, and updating the BIOS. These are my issues: Laptop won't reboot, I have to do it manually (even when installing Windows) Bootloops as soon as I plug in any USB device Some keyboard keys don't...

I'm upgrading from ps4 so it seems like it will definitely be an improvement. I don't want a ps5 because it's very limited for things other than gaming. As long as I can play 1080p 60fps (144 would be nice though) it would be fine for me. Thanks!

While the new cpu's will definitly fit the socket, your bios may not support it. I've looked through many different configurations of this model and this cpu is the best that came preinstalled by toshiba: i5-2450m. But, I don't recommend upgrading the CPU, if you sell this laptop you can buy a...

I'm planning on building a new pc mid december for around €500-€600, and I found this black friday deal with a Ryzen 7 1700x for €100. It has 8c/16t which would probably be the best I can get, but it's pretty old. I'll prob mix it with a 1660S and 16GB ram.

Makes sense. I don't think vga supports above 60hz because of its low bandwith, so that's why it didn't work with the adapter.
