New laptop. Track pad just started freaking out.

I suspect, but I don't know for sure, this is because I wiped down the trackpad with a paper towel.

I just got this in June. Acer Aspire V 15 Touch VN7-572TG-775T running Windows 10. It's been behaving up til now.

The track pad just started acting up a few minutes ago. It will be hyposensitive, hypersensitive, misinterpret my input (e.g. perform a 3-finger command for a 2-finger gesture), stutter (e.g. the cursor will refuse to move past a certain latitude on the screen), select things I didn't (intend to) select, etc.

I have tried restarting. I am currently taking advantage of the touch screen capabilities, although obviously this is sub-optimal. Sometimes it will seem to be back to normal, but then resume misbehaving.

Is this static buildup in the track pad? Is this a virus? How do I fix this?

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
