My old iPhone 5S playing up.

So I have an old iPhone 5S which I bought out right on release. I've been trying to avoid upgrading for cost reasons because I'm tight and the phone works or worked fine.

Recently it has started dying at around 17% but plugging it in gets it going again. But today it literally just died in my hands at 40%, black screen, won't turn on, nothing showed on screen so I try charging it and nothing shows up on screen (usually charge icon shows).

I try the reset by holding 2 buttons and nothing, I leave it plugged in for 5 minutes and come back to a still dead phone. At this point I'm pretty pissed off and decide to try a Russian repair job and whack the phone on my bedside table. And the damn apple logo appears and it turns on and seems fine now as I'm writing this.

I'm guessing battery issue? My firmware hasn't been updated in awhile either so could that be an issue? I don't know, but really didn't want to have to get a new phone.

Anyone know anything about this? Don't want it turning into a brick when I need it. Thanks.

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
