When you plug a Chromebook into a TV (That's what I'm assuming you're doing) it automatically makes the display "extend" off of the laptop's built-in display. If you want to watch a video on the TV, without making the video/tab full screen, click on it and drag it off the right edge of your...

Based on the given information, I am honestly not quite sure. Do the symbols happen to resemble this? If so, then it might just be information saying that your laptop is certified by the Federal Communications Commission. About the camera icon, though... Are you sure it looks like a camera...

I would say to try one of two things. 1. Try spraying the HDMI connections with compressed air and/or contact cleaner. Sometimes dirty electrical connections can make for noisy audio. If you do this, do the connections on both ends of the cable, the Blu-ray player, and the receiver. 2. Try a...

If possible, I would recommend using another computer to install Wifi drivers onto a USB stick, then attempting to install them on the Windows XP computer. To be perfectly honest, this might be the only software solution. Another way to fix the Wifi might be to open up the laptop and check...

Primarily based off an initial guess, I would be inclined to say that this is hardware related. I had a similar issue before with a Microsoft mouse, and it did the same issue on multiple systems. If the mouse is wireless, try different batteries. If it's wired, your friend knows how to game...

Alright! Have a great night as well.

This might seem like a dumb question-- but is your laptop plugged into the wall? I see in your screenshot that two graphics options are showing up- the "primary/integrated" (R4) and the "discrete/switchable" (R5). After looking at some online benchmarks, the R5 is definitely more powerful. If...

It depends on which carrier and "type" of service your old phone are capable of. For example, if you have an iPhone 4 you bought from Verizon, it would be "stuck" on Verizon's network, but you could still use it today with 4G service. However, if your phone is older, like the original, 2G...

I think the issue is that your laptop is probably stuck in "tablet mode." To fix this, on your desktop, tap/click (probably tap, for your laptop) on the text-bubble looking icon in the lower -right-hand corner. Tap on the button that says, "tablet mode." If you don't see the button, tap on...

Ok, so here's the deal- the laptop you currently have has a slightly better graphics card. The one on the new (the one you might return it for) is newer by about 3 years and has faster video RAM. Honestly, I would recommend the Dell. the faster processor will speed everything up, even things...

The temperature "limit" for 105°C isn't necessarily true. It's just a recommended guideline for what to try to keep your laptop temperatures under, as prolonged use at those temperatures could damage something. With your turbo on a naturally-hot core i7-7700HQ, (edit: do you have the turbo...

I think this might be normal- I just got one of these laptops myself (a very similar model at least, here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072QT88DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the right fan spins much more quickly than the left fan. I am not certain, but I think that the...

If you have a mouse, plug it in and after a few seconds, your laptop should be able to work as normal. If you don't have a mouse, just click "tab" to go to the next box (to type in your password). Hope this helps Good luck, RandomGuy42

I would say to take your laptop to a repair place- they probably won't charge you just for a simple system inspection (to see if anything really is wrong) and it's a good idea to do this anyway. Could you send a few more details about your laptop? (e.g. Lenovo B590, 8 GB ram, 256 GB SSD.) As...
