It sounds like one of the connectors is loose and will disconnect when you move it. It's likely the AC power connector of the AC adapter. It could also be the power connector of the laptop PC itself. Either one of these could be damaged internally.

If it has been in your system for few years as you upgraded to newer operating systems, I highly recommend to back you your data/files/documents in a separate external drive and then reinstall the OS from scratch. Then install the anti-virus and anti-malware software to scan the backed up...

Most laptop PCs don't have ports for graphics input unless you want to do editing and need to install video adapters that will accept input signals.

In your case, this is the absolutely best way to do it: Remove the DVD drive and get a caddy for the HDD. Clone the OS and everything in the HD to SSD. Swap the HD with SSD drive as the new OS/boot drive. Install the HD in the new caddy in place of the DVD drive. Boom! Now you have a perfect...

A USB hub can provide additional USB ports out of one port since USB is by nature expandable. Both mouse and keyboard use little bandwidth and usually not much power, so it should work. You could find them at any online retail stores If you need a powered one, type powered usb hub to find a...

Disassembly and assembly of any laptop PC is not easy because they involve so many tiny parts and different tiny screws. It's common for usb ports to go dead and not working anymore. I suggest just not to use those ports and get a USB hub that provides many more ports through one port. If you...

Yes, that will be great for the purpose. And I also highly recommend to make an experiential master folder and sub folders to test it first.

I suggest to first crate few master folders based on the types of permissions you want to apply. Then move folders that require certain type of permissions to one of the master folders, and make changes to the master folder you want to change and force it to inherit the permission to all sub...

It's a classical situation when there is a quality or build issue from the manufacturer Lenovo. Is this still covered under warranty? The best way might be to replace it. Before that, I recommend to back up all important data asap in case the laptop PC fails totally.

HP Envy 6 in the link is the best of all because of its: 1080p IPS screen and also faster processor and built quality! Dell is probably 2nd. Spec-wise Lenovo is the worst. I have used many HP laptops, and I highly recommend the model. It's a great choice.

Where do people buy laptop PCs in UAE? What are available brands? Dell, Asus, HP, Acer?

Lenovo's laptop is a bad place to start with because of bad support and aggressive cost and quality cutting. The best solution is to sell it and get a Dell or HP, and there will be fewer issues.

Is the external monitor working? Just go to display under Control Panel to change it.

You will probably need a Y audio splitter that has two female 3.5mm connectors and one male 3.5mm connectors.
