[Lenovo T460] My laptop is freezing, then the screen slowly turns grey/black spreading from the left side.

So I was dumb and didn't turn my computer off before flying, and ever since then, my computer will sometimes lock up and start getting this weird darkness spreading from the left-hand side of the screen.

Picture when it's fully spread

I know it's a hardware issue because when I tap my computer on either side of the trackpad (where the harddrive is) it will unfreeze and the darkness will go, but until I restart the computer, the screen flickers.

I've taken out the hard drive and just sprayed down the area with air and tried cleaning the connections and making sure the harddrive was in securely, but the problem still persists.

I guess I want to know if it's as simple as a busted harddrive that I can just replace by myself, or some other problem I don't know. Thanks a bunch.

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
