Description of problem

I put my laptop into hibernation on Saturday night and then went to turn it on on Sunday. The lights at the front of the laptop as well as the power, capslock and numlock all litup. I could hear the fan and the screen was blank but either was turning on and off rapidly or it was the backlit doing so, not entirely sure. I could hear a faint clicking noise as though the computer was repeatedly trying to boot but couldn't get past the 1st step. I turned it off and on about 4 or 5 times with the same result. Eventually it booted normally and has been fine ever since.

When this issue began

When I turned it on on Sunday.

Recurring issue

No

Date of purchase

2015

Under Warranty

No

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

I put it into hibernation on Saturday night and the problem occurred on Sunday when I went to start it up.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

Turning it off and on eventually solved the issue. I still have no idea what happened or if it will happen again.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
