is it the onboard HDMI or external GPU? if onboard, toss in a dedicated GPU with hdmi and see if it works normally, then if it does you’ll probably want to replace the mobo since fixing the hdmi port would probably be more work that it’s worth and might not even be an option unless you know your shit and soldering…

yep. I agree. if it won’t “short” boot then time to replace/try a different power supply (whether he tested his old one or not), if no go then it’s probably time to tear down and install just the basic components and keep going until he finds the culprit. Hopefully it didn’t take such a hit that something on the…

If there’s no error beeps or indicators on the board (depending on the board of course) this feels like a simply failed power button, if the reset AND power button and shorting the pins on the board doesn’t boot it then it’s probably more of a failed mobo issue) I’d then strip it down to the bare minimum and see if…

sounds like the case power button got disconnected or similar. jump the power pins on the board FIRST before anything so you don’t start a rebuild if you don’t have to. Ive personally seen this and some cases have a very thin “cheapo” wire connected with a tiny little dab of solder that can easily come off especially…

Not what everyone wants to do, many do not. I use it for family and friends I’d otherwise not be able to keep in touch with near as easily but I also use two accounts. One for family and very close friends and the other for when I use it to sign in using FB etc. Funny that people use FB as their primary contact medium…

Been doing this for ages. I get about one every few months if that so it workes very well. I then message them asking “who is this”...the messenger app then usually removes their name and just shows as “Facebook User” a dead giveaway so I simply delete, and if possible, block them. This usually isn’t an options to…

THIS ^^ all of it. +1

Bingo! there’s no way Google didn’t do this. Ive also set it up for my clients a bazillion times and it’s never NOT sent emails to both. Something is up with her story.

good idea..if they don’t respond, she has nothing to lose anyway. If they do then she gets her code/verification and can then go in and fix/change it all... +1

It wouldn’t... “.c” isn’t a valid extension so it’d never work like this. +1

I thought the same thing...this is damn near fool proof when setting it up. I kinda wondered if they weren’t seeking the some nefarious ways to do bad deeds as well.

Bottom line “PROOFREAD” before hitting submit and also keep multiple backups of EVERYTHING (ESPECIALLY photos you care about and cannot replace). Not just on an external hard drive but on TWO hard drives. One you keep around for easy usage and the second you keep elsewhere, mine is in a safety deposit box literally…

Whats weird (and I thought long over with) is I can still upgrade any Win 7 premium install to Win 10 Pro for free simply entering the Win 7 key from the side of case or using the tool that shows the actual product code. I thought this was over long ago. But I’ve done 3 this week for clients.... Then I can also of…

nope...won’t help. My 2018 Air with SSD can take as much as 4 mins to wake up after the lid is closed for as little as 30 seconds and it’s brand new no issues. this terminal command fixes that but it’s the power management Apple has introduced in newer macs. beyond overkill.....

I know this is an old-ish article....but my 2018 MacBook Air can take 2-4 full minutes to wake, simple even opening the lid seconds after closing. f-ing ridiculous. power nap isn’t on nor do I want it on but it’s frustrating as hell to work for an hour, close the lid and come back in less than a minute remembering I…

Story re-run...some comments here are regarding a 4S and 3Gs and from 2012 lol

me either BUT....why take a chance anymore when flagship phones are 500+ or over a grand in many cases. I spend the extra now just to add that one layer. My Note 10+ came with a factory installed one and it’ll never come off unless I VERY purposely rip it off, breaking the protector in the process but I didn’t know…

much cheaper to buy online but I hear ya. If I buy one retail I only go to best buy because they install for free and up to 90days if it comes off etc. they’ll replace it. (Local stores may vary but mine have this guarantee locally).
