    Solved! My aspire one D250-1165 wont go pass the boot up system after putting it in safe mode

    Windows XP .... this thing is meant for the recyclers at this point. You are asking for trouble if you try to connect to the internet, web, etc. Microsoft has basically abandoned providing an more security patches or fixes, and vulnerabilities are many. In any case the problems you are seeing...

    Does my laptop support a 144hz monitor?

    The question is asked backwards. The question should be does the monitor support your laptop. It doesn't matter how many hz the monitor can do, if it follows the HDMI/DIV/DisplayPort/VGA standards and provide the connectors, and your laptop has those connectors then they should work. If the...

    Solved! Laptop screen black speck (not dead pixel)

    It probably never bothered you before, until you cleaned and now you can not un-see it. Not that you know it is pitted with that tiny defect, there is really not much you can do about it.

    Solved! Laptop screen black speck (not dead pixel)

    From the picture it sure looks like a dead pixel. But it you say you can feel something slightly raised there, you might want to use a little bit of of soap and water to wet a paper towel an see if you wipe it off.

    Bad motherboard is very common affair, especially in light of the recent serious quality control with Ryzen boards. All sorts of odd flakiness regardless of brand too.

    Razer Blade 15 idle temp suddenly high

    For anyone that know about repasting the thermal compounds, 3 days later does NOT equal "suddenly". And you are the one calling people names, and you are the one lying. The evidence is clear and obvious. Do NOT lie in your titles to bait clicks. You could have easily written: "Repasted Temps...

    Razer Blade 15 idle temp suddenly high

    BTW you full well know what you were doing, and yet you went about lying about how it is "suddenly higher"? Why the pretense? What kind of help can anyone give you at this point? You already know what you did, and what you need to do, so.... what do you want a pity party?

    Razer Blade 15 idle temp suddenly high

    Why re-paste to make more problems? If ain't broke, don't fix it? Or rather break it real good.... yep.... exactly that.

    Solved! Green vertical lines almost like static on screen

    If you are lucky it is just bad HDMI cables. Of course this assumes you are not trying to watch content received over the air with an antenna. Usually spotting those problems in OTA broadcasts would be hard to do, but this kind of screen artifact is very easy to see when connected to say a...

    Solved! Connecting tv speakers to a computer

    Need to get specs on your speakers. The cheapest scenario is that the spec-ed impedance is within tolerance, and you just need to splice some cabling and make an adapter to 3.5 trs audio connector. The likelihood of this probably as less than 5% odds though. Chances are you will need an...

    Solved! Amplifying digital signal

    The coax is no good for hdmi. I know of no commercially available products that will convert HDMI to some of signal that can be transported over coax. Obviously, someone can build and engineer as system to encode hdmi signals to some of form of RF quadratures that can then be transmitted over...

    Solved! My daughter spilled shoe cleaner all over my laptop keyboard...its been a week an it still ain't powering on...plz help...I bo

    Are you good with lots of tiny screws, and plastic clips, and have the manual dexterity to handle it all? If yes then you can begin by naming the name and model of the laptop, find their service manual, and begin to disassemble your machine and begin to clean and extract the damaged parts and...

    Solved! Running a pc on less power than required

    How do you even play on connecting your 15v to your laptop? Does the connector even fit? And it is not just voltage you need to worry about. There is also the matter of current. If that 15V DC is only good for 1 amp, I'd be surprised your laptop would even boot. Most of the 19.5V laptops would...

    Solved! Bring-your-own-headphones wireless party? is this possible?

    Streaming server is a much better way to do this. If you are lazy, you could just put everyone in a Discord channel and then just pump music from your music player straight into the mic-in on your PC and they will then all hear the music.
