Checked to see if the laptop could stay on with just wall outlet and it worked. Definitely needs new battery

If I wanted to test the charging circuitry really quick before I bought the battery. Could I see if the laptop powers on by just the power charger and not the battery? If it doesn't power on would it be a problem with the laptops mobo?

I had my Asus x550z for a couple years and last week it wasn't charging properly anymore. It would only charge for a couple minutes at a time and then I would get "plugged in, not charging" message in windows. I figured it would be either the charge port or the laptop charger so, I bought both...

Vga connectors do not carry audio signals and it is not possible to get sound to the projector. I suppose you could use speakers or buy a hdmi to dvi-d cable to play sound if the projector has a dvi port. Cable...

Does the sounds beep? Could be a beep code from the laptop. If so you can look up the beeps and figure out what it is telling you.

A company called Synology offers quite a few nas(s). They have software that will allow you to actively sync files and schedule backups. However, their cheapest nas is somewhat costly and does not include a hard drive. Synology nas...

First I would go into the bios and make sure your usb is the first device that is booted. If that doesn't work download dban, burn it to a DVD, and try to boot off it. This will allow you to nuke the Linux OS on your hard drive. It may take awhile through.

Ok it's not too painful to do :) Once your in the bios you should be able to scroll left to right using the arrow keys. As you scroll through the bios there should be a section called "boot priorities" or something similar. From there you should see a list of devices that your laptop can boot...

I currently use this av and I am happy with. I never heard of the rollback test.

Interesting, I guess the first thing to do is rule out whether its malware or a bug. Download and run Malwarebytes to be sure you have no viruses on your computer.

First you have to figure out what key to press while the laptop is booting to get into the bios. It differs from laptop to laptop. Then you have to find the setting that controls the boot order and change it so, the computer boots off the usb first. If Ubuntu is installed correctly then it...
