    Can I use a laptop solely as an external keyboard and display?

    Ideally, I want to be able to have a tower desktop gaming pc without a standard monitor or keyboard, hooked up directly to a laptop. The laptop would function as the screen and keyboard for the desktop. All of the CPU, GPU, power, etc, would be coming directly from the tower (if that is...

    Laptop BackLit Keyboard Not Working

    Yes the G2 key turns on/off the trackpad lighting but not the keyboard itself... it used to but not now since its not working. The G keys are not lit up either. There is no software that controls it on the computer. I went to go investigate further actually, and I'm not sure what to do now...

    Switching Out Laptop Display: What to look for Compatibility?

    I'm interested in switching out my laptop display. Its not broken, but seems a bit fuzzy and not of the best quality. I've switched out a screen years ago but it was a major brand and easy to find compatibility. The laptop I want to switch for is a Cyberpowerpc fangbook iii- hx6-100. Its a...

    Optical Drive Stuck: Cyberpower Fangbook III HX6-100

    I was able to fix it. I had to open up the bottom of the case to get to the screw. The drive slides right out. I was surprised it was a toshiba-samsung drive. There was actually nothing wrong with the drive. Once out of the machine it could open and close. When I put it back into the machine...
