Google Pixelbook Go: Re-insert clamshell pin into hinge

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 12:10:13 -0700

One end of the hinge on the Google Pixelbook Go has slipped out of place. I do not know how to reinsert it. The two pieces of the clamshell do not feel flexible enough to bend and allow the pin to slip back into the hinge.

Toshiba Laptop: HELP! My Toshiba laptop won't boot and beeps constantly.

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 06:32:03 -0700

A few months ago my Toshiba laptop started beeping. I could always get it to shut up so, I wasn't that concearned. Later it completely shut me out. After trying and trying I finally got in to let me in. It's memory was erased.

Today when I tried to turn my laptop on, it started beeping and took me to a black page with white letters that said:

A disk read error occurred

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

When I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del it restarted without helping the issue.

I went to toshiba.com to try and find something to help me. I downloaded a laptop checkup and put it on a disk using my other computer. I tried the disk out in my laptop and it kept reapearting:

Check Cable Connection PXE-MOF Exiting Intel PXE-ROM

No Bootable Device- Insert Boot Disk And Press Any Key

Intle UNDIE, PXE-2.0 (Build083) Copywrite 1997-2000 and Intel Corperation Four Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.2.7 (11/02/10)

I have combed the internet for answers and tried everything I can find. I can't fix it. Someone please help me.

If you need pictures, more information, for me to do or try anything I'll be happy to comply.

Dell Studio 15 Series: Laptop makes a clink noise and is off

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 02:54:02 -0700

I have a Dell Studio 15 laptop that is about a year and a half old. The laptop occasionally just makes a noise like a clink and is off. It does not do the shut down process. When i turn it back on it says windows did not shut down correctly and whether i want it to run in safe mode. I have already tried getting dell to fix it and they said that it would be a problem with the heat-sink. They replaced it but the problem is still there. Any help at all would be great. Thanks

Dell Laptop AC Adapter: LED Off on AC Adapter - Won't Charge

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 00:05:06 -0700

What should I check first?

End of cable that connects to PC? Other end of this same cable connecting to the power supply? The connection where the power supply is connecting to outlet? (Not the cord itself but inside of the supply)

If someone could give me the proper terms, or a better way to describe these items I'd appreciate it!

I just acquired this AC adapter and quickly realized the LED indicator on the unit would not light up when plugged in.

I removed the case for power supply, did some wiggling and when I plugged it back in the LED indicator came on.

After doing this, I attempted to plug it into the PC. Shortly thereafter the LED went off again. I did not initially notice that the end that connected to the PC had seeming exposed wire (looked like tubing got pushed back).

Could the AC Cable Adapter Outlet (How to Repair a Frayed Dell AC Adapter Cable) result in the LED not lighting up on the power supply?

Lenovo Legion: FnLock Led indicator is not functioning

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:07:35 -0700

Although the FnLock key is functioning there is a spot in which a light is supposed to shine when FnLock is on and it does not. I have tried reinstalling drivers, and am lead to believe this is a hardware issue.

Dell Studio 15 Series: Turns on using Media Button not power button

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 15:19:31 -0700

I have reloaded the OS without the media portion of the Dell installation, but unlike my other studio 15, this one only "powers on" after touching the "media" button. The power key does nothing. It will not power the laptop off or turn it such as on my other studio laptop. The Bios is the same and OS installation is for Vista, no special selection are made during installation so why would this PC not use the power button? Mind you the Dell Media software is not installed. So it should not be in play...

Dell XPS 15 9550: Display hinge broke from base

Sat, 09 May 2020 10:08:40 -0700

Hi,

My laptop hit the floor and the post that the laptop base hex screw attaches to snapped off. Not a problem, however the laptop keeps separating every time I close the lid and I have to push the top and bottom together to put the laptop to sleep. It’s now causing more internal damage and when I open it up, the clip has snapped off the laptop base as well as the screw hole to the base is also cracked in half. I’ve attached pics but wanted to know the hinge was attached to that I need to replace, as well as the hinge itself. This is on the same side as the power button. Any info would be very much appreciated. And not sure if the pictures uploaded or not but have those too.

Thanks!

Asus ROG Strix GL702VM-BHI7N09: Rog gaming center will not open! Freezes my cp? D:?

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 08:40:25 -0700

'''MY DEVICE WASNT MENTIONED :

ASUS ROG GL753VD-DS71 17.3" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop'''

I changed a power setting on the ROG Center, a few weeks prior. After two days, My laptop had an update and had begun to freeze and did not work further-- till I'd have to press the power button for it to be usable. It now does this this every 24 to 36 hours (estimate)?

I close my laptop almost every day and I dont know if that's the reason. But, i started doing some research then realized: It could have been the ROG center. So i thought, okay, simple fix, I'll just revert those changes.

NOPE. The button does nothing but, show that it's processing on my mouse/arrow.

I'd wait a while, nothing.

I'd restart my cp, nothing.

I don't know what to do.

Please help :)
