DC power jack for laptop is burnt

I own a Gigabyte p55 laptop, and the past few months I have had charging issues. The laptop would randomly stop charging for about a second, then resume charging. This happened almost exclusively while gaming, but lower settings to the minimum didn't work, so I assumed it was a power issue inside of my laptop. Additionally I have had the "plugged in not charging" issues (Windows 10). I used my brothers charger because he has the same laptop and that didn't solve anything. I then opened up my laptop, and sure enough one if the cables were fried on the end. Here is pics http://ift.tt/2CnEyQV

I've searched everywhere for this part online and with no solution. What can I do? I'm a broke college student so going to a repair shop is my last option. These cables for other laptops are less than 10 dollars online, but I can't find mine. Would another brands cables work? Any and all advice is appreciated. P.S. for the "plugged in not charging" issue I've done other troubleshooting like updating drivers.

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
