Cheers Solandri, I feel silly for not coming up with it myself, but I suppose that is the easiest thing to do. I will try an external keyboard and see if that does the trick. But let me ask an other silly question, since I am kinda on a roll here: If I connect an external keyboard, will it not...

Hi all. I have a laptop who had a run-in with a bit of liquid. I am not saying it was the liquids fault, but it was clearly in the way. All the blame game aside, some keys refuse to work, no matter how had I press them. As even the trusty 'hit it till it's fixed' did not help, I am thinking...

Thank you for the replay. Yes, I am sure I am aiming a little, high, but thats the point right :). Anyway, from the specs alone the Xiaomi does seem better than the G6, though of course that means very little, since the non-listed part of the specs are something one often forgets. Such as how...

Hi all, I am not a big phone user, the one I currently have cost me 60 pounds (a Doogee X5 or 6). I decided to upgrade with something worth roughly 150-200 pounds. I was for example looking at the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. My requirements are as follows: Important: -Nice audio (via 3.5mm headphones...

Is there no key under `system', when you scroll down? You can probably call Microsofts help line (make sure its not a scam site, look for the official one. The site should end with [...].microsoft.com) and explain it to them. Since upgrades are so commonplace, they will most likely give you a...

I should say that I am looking for something for windows 7.

Download the windows 10 iso. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 for example, but that is for en-gb. if you are in say us, try the us version. Anyway, might be easiest to just use a search engine and type "download windows 10 iso". When you have the iso, burn it to a...

Have you tried any of the guides (text, video). There are tons of guides. It has been a while since I did this sort of thing, so I might be a bit foggy on the details. I would recommend you look at one of these guides. However, if you prefer to do it on the forum, we can give it a shot. Note...

I suppose you are right. Always a bit strange to do a full discharge on purpose. It's kinda like keying your brand new car. But as you said, in the long run, 3 discharges will not really matter anyway. Cheers.

Will it also calibrate (but slower) if I discharge it to 20%, say 5 times? Cheers.

Hi all. It says to fully charge and fully discharge a battery after first time use. And to do it 3 times. https://uk.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27666/~/preparing-the-battery-for-first-time-use Does full discharge mean below 5%? Or is 20% enough. The reason I am asking is because...

I don't think it is the case. But, if it is a removable battery, perhaps there is insulation on the end? (like a small tape). Some manufacturers do that. You would have to remove that first. Other than that, as webworkings has said, when you use it with a charger, what does the battery say? Is...

Hi all. Are there any programs for windows laptops that tell how much power is consumed by what program\function\hardware? I am talking along the lines of smartphones. They have programs that say things like 50% standby 25% operating system, 10% wi-fi etc. Are there such programs for PC's...

before you go that route. Have you tried repairing the OS? I would recommend a repair disk and a new windows disk. Start with the repair disk. If it will not be able to repair the OS in a simple manner, it will ask for the installation disk. It will than copy necessary files from the disk and...

But that's the point. They don't answer the question, not really. They all assume that one is using the mobile devices in a mobile way... and that in the case of laptops, one can remove the battery. This question that I am posing, which I think is relevant to a lot of people, is barely...
