    Is it safe to place an external keyboard over a laptop like this? Using a fabric to prevent possible scratches, I don't have much space on my desk and I can't put the keyboard anywhere else. Do you know any possible risks? Laptop is a Lenovo Legion 5, keyboard is a Drevo Calibur V2.

    Lenovo Yoga 720 touchscreen stopped working!

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 02:00 PM PST

    The touchscreen stopped working on my laptop about a year or two ago, I'm really trying to get it to work again but am completely unable to. I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall the Touchscreen interface driver, but it's done nothing. Apparently a lot of people have had this issue and Lenovo haven't reached out to properly address or fix this problem, from my understanding.

    If you know anything that might be able to help me out, it'd be much appreciated.

    Got an ancient Toshiba from my parents to write on - fan is blowing on and off like crazy. Any fix?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:56 PM PST

    It's a 10 yr old Toshiba laptop and all things considered, it runs pretty well (despite the tiny cpu).

    Only problem is, the fan keeps going loud to quiet constantly. The CPU isn't flooded when it it gets loud, it just seems to WHIR and then gentle whir randomly.

    Is this a hardware fix? Would some canned air in the fan holes help?

    Laptop not displaying over HDMI to TV through Netflix app and edge

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:34 PM PST

    Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Take it down if that's the case

    I bought a new laptop today, and I'm quite happy with it, but for some reason, it just shows a black screen when I use the Netflix app or Microsoft edge to run Netflix. It'll show the menu screen and the previews, but not the actual thing I'm watching. It works fine with Firefox. I had a look on Google, but that only seemed to have suggestions for how to get the screen to display on the TV, and that seems to be working.

    Any idea what's wrong?

    Battery health

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:29 PM PST

    Currently I'm using my laptop always plugged in and I limit the maximum change to 60% to extend battery lifespan using a specific option. However I use dual boot and when I turn it on it goes on charge for 5-7 seconds. Is there a way to limit maximum charge in GRUB? Can these little charging cycles decrease the battery lifespan?

    Best inexpensive laptops?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 04:26 AM PST

    I'm looking for a laptop that I can use for schooling and work if need be. I've never owned one myself so I have no idea what to look for. Hoping for something less than $500 if possible. Thanks!

    Does this laptop seem good?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:09 PM PST

    Hi :)

    I made a post a while ago asking for people's opinions of a laptop I had my eyes on, but it was right on the edge of my budget. Now, I have a larger budget since my 21st birthday was at the start of this month (yay, adult), and I've been looking at laptops again.

    I'm a college student, doing Music Performance, about to start an assignment to create a song, so I'll need something to run some music software, as well as something I can use to procrastinate with :)

    I've had my eyes on this laptop for a day or two and I'm thinking it looks pretty good. It's well within my price range, plenty of storage space and, while I dont know much about computers in general, I know that SSD's are pretty darn fast lol.

    Does this one seem like it would do the trick? If anyone has any other suggestions, I'll happily take them lol. I also live in the UK if that helps.

    Thanks :D

    Anyone got convenient carrying solution ideas for 13.25 inch laptop with stylus (as in carry everything like cables, stylus, laptop)?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 12:48 PM PST

    I'm trying to figure out how to carry my laptop, stylus, and cables in a manner that's practical, comfortable and organized. Usually I just carry them in backpack in different pockets and then laptop in a sleeve but I was wondering if anyone had some big brain ideas I didn't think of.

    I swear I'm not trying to sound edgy or badass but wouldn't it be neat if there were things like gun cases for laptops?

    My HP envy x360 isn’t turning off or on

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 12:33 PM PST

    The power button is on and the fully charged light is on. And it's also blowing constant air like it would to cool itself.

    I've trying turning it off and it won't work at all. Do I just wait for it to run out of power or what?

    Thank you if you can help

    New battery in 15-b101sd not being detected, but working?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 10:40 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I recently acquired a HP 15-b101sd laptop. Came with a dead battery, so bought a new battery online. Installed it today, and the battery works just fine. However, the laptop still displays the HP 601 battery alert upon starting.

    Once booted into Windows, the battery symbol in the taskbar is greyed out. When I click it it says '100% fully charged'.

    When unplugging the charger it changes to 'Unknown time remaining'

    Any ideas? The new battery seems to be working fine, but it's like Windows can't communicate with the battery or something. Already tried deleting the battery driver, and removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds.

    This is the battery report from windows.

    Personal laptop just went down, looking for recommendations

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 09:30 AM PST

    After several years my Acer Aspire just went down, and I am in need of another laptop. I just started a musical artist booking and management company outside of my current job, and that would account for the majority of my laptops use. Typical business stuff you would expect, spreadsheets, emails, don't know if I'd have a need to create marketing materials, but it's possible. I will also be viewing music media regularly using this laptop, and may want to record some of my own music as well, but unsure at the moment and considering a desktop for my own recording set up. I've tended to be a windows/pc guy because I like cracking it open and making simple repairs when performance starts to degrade, but am open to apple products as well. I would like a good processor, and good battery life. Budget is probably around $1k give or take a couple hundred. What should I look into?

    MXM 3.0A gpus for dell m4700

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 07:56 AM PST

    I am getting in a Dell Precision m4700 with an MXM 3.0a slot, which is the short one, not the mxm3.0b, which is longer, and has many other options like a gtx980m. Afaik, the best gpu is the quadro m2200m or the gtx965m, both at about 400 USD. Are there any newer mxm3.0a gpus, are there going to be any new ones in the future, or if I want anything above a 35-50 dollar radeon card, should I just use expresscard for an egpu, as I already have a gtx980 laying around. I know that expresscard has limited bandwidth, and that performance drops by 60-65 percent, so I'm aware of that.

    Laptop's built in microphone stops working when I plug in my speakers

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 07:54 AM PST

    Hi! I searched all day for a solution and couldn't find anything that could solve this, because this problem I have it for some time, but before it worked just fine, the mic works when I unplug the speakers from the laptop

    My only hope is if someone on reddit knows a solution, thanks in advance for your time!

    PLEASE help a tech inept person find a new laptop for graduate school!

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 07:13 AM PST

    Hi all, I asked this a while ago but got no responses. Please I'm desperate for help and know nothing about computers!!

    Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

    $1200 is my max. I feel like anything under $500 would not work good. So anything in between.

    • Are you open to refurbs/used?

    Yes

    • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

    Well I want the battery life to be good. I am sick of my current laptop being dead in the morning even when I didn't use it. I also would prefer not to wait 30 seconds for a page to load. Not sure what the other things mean.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you?

    Not important.

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

    Preferably bigger between 12 and 15 inches.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I will be using ArchGIS. Also, I would like to be able to game but it is not a top priority.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

    Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption. Again gaming isn't a huge priority.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

    Don't think I have a preference.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

    I currently have a Surface Pro 4 or 5. It was cool in 2015 but I would like to upgrade.

    One very important thing I want with this laptop good battery life!! I don't want to be charging it 3 times a day like I do with my current laptop.

    I would also like a slot that I can put an sd card into.

    Also, please note that I do not know any computer related terminology so talk to me like I'm 5 lol.
