What to do if no Secure Boot certificate update is available from your manuafacturer

As im writing this post, the little tab above the keyboard isn't popping up to put in suggestions or complete the words im typing. Is there a way to fix this? It stopped very suddenly and Google isn't being helpful.

I tried doing all the tutorials on YouTube and tiktok none of them worked. Even on the side of the taskbar it's not showing the Internet or the time I've tried installing and reinstalling my network adapter and Internet through the device manager but nothing is working. I'm hoping someone could help me.

My HP Victus randomly shut off one day and became stuck in the Windows Recovery Environment. After repeatedly pressing Enter for hours, I eventually got back into Windows, but a few days later it happened again overnight. Now I’m permanently stuck at the BitLocker Recovery screen. I have the BitLocker recovery key that’s not the issue. I’ve tried System Recovery, Startup Settings, disabling automatic restart, and reinstalling Windows using a USB. Every option either loads for a few seconds, goes to a black screen, or restarts and sends me back to BitLocker. HP’s hardware diagnostics/Advanced Test passed. I need help figuring out why the laptop keeps restarting and getting stuck in this loop.

I'm awful with computers so I really need some help. Basically, on my front panel I accidently disconnected my audio jack head phones, and when I plugged it back in it wasn't able to read it and no sound comes out. I tried different audio jack earbuds and usb earbuds but those didn't work. It's weird that this stopped working after it was unplugged since it was fine before.

No notification pops up about a device connecting when I plug it in. My game controller and mouse still work even after unplugging and plugging them back into the front panel. My speakers still work on the back panel it's plugged into. When I open my device manager it says my headphones are plugged in under sound, video and game controllers, but when I go to my sound settings or volume mixer I do not see in as an option. However, I do see that they are plugged in under blue tooth and other devices. Removing it as a Bluetooth device didn't work too. No clue what to do...

My Samsung Galaxy S22 got water in the usb port. I continued using it before letting it dry and after a while it fully shut off. When I held the power button to turn it back on, it started a boot loop. It just shows the Samsung logo, then the Samsung galaxy logo with the powered by Knox and the Android logo. I’ve tried force restarting by holding the power button and volume down button. What do I do?

I can't change the email of my main account, nor log in on any other devices because the email its linked to (rocketmail) has no mention of discord AT all. Yes it's the right account, yes I've checked spam and trash, NOTHING. SMS works, but the email verification doesn't. It's very frustrating to work with considering I have a career that somewhat relies on discord for communication. Considering I have a career on that app, can someone help/anyone had a similar situation?

I gave an old laptop with an intact hard drive to 1-800-gotjunk for e-waste removal. How much risk am I in for data breaches? It is an old laptop that had no power; I honestly forgot what was on it.

Hi! I'm replacing a fan on my Lenovo ideapad 5 but forgot which way the pins were on the power cord.

Should the exposed metal wires be towards the motherboard or towards me?

Thanks!

I'm really frustrated and honestly pretty upset about this situation.

My Microsoft account appears to have been compromised recently. The attacker changed the account's sign-in information, and now Microsoft says my previous username/email doesn't exist.

What makes this especially upsetting is that I still have access to my original recovery email and I have genuine proof that the account belongs to me. I purchased Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC shortly before this happened, and I still have the original Microsoft receipt.

I also received a Microsoft security alert showing a sign-in to Minecraft for Nintendo Switch from an IP address I don't recognize. I don't own or use a Nintendo Switch, so I know that wasn't me.

I've already tried Microsoft's recovery process and contacted support. I submitted the information I have, including my purchase details, but my recovery request was rejected because Microsoft said there wasn't enough information to verify me.

At this point, I'm honestly feeling helpless. I paid for the game, I have the receipt, I have access to the original email, and I can provide legitimate information about the account, but I'm still locked out of something that was mine.

I'm not asking anyone to hack the account or do anything illegal. I just want to know if there's a legitimate way to get this reviewed by an actual person who can properly look at the evidence.

Has anyone here successfully recovered a Microsoft account after it was taken over and the recovery form kept getting rejected? What actually worked for you?

I'm not posting my email, order number, IP address, or other private information publicly. I can provide those directly to Microsoft if needed.

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice. I'm just trying to get my account back.

Guys i need help, very need right now, what is this?? What should i do?

I know it's not computers or etc but i need it now srry

I seem to have an issue with my wifi between my pc. I can connect to a hotspot on my phone and access steam/websites while on it, but when I switch to my wifi, it shows “No internet, Secured” or sometimes even has internet, yet it’s so slow, everything times out and doesn’t load. I’ve updated my WiFi card driver, messed around with the settings on that and it seems to have no affect. At a loss on what to try.

The camera on my laptop wasn't on, and I was showing my father something on my laptop on video call via my phone and I noticed this light blinking, can anyone help me out, is the camera on should I apply tape on it. It's a windows 11, Lenovo laptop, I got it a month back.

CrystalDiskInfo reads it properly. But in the firmware version field, it says: EPPROM. It is overheating/getting very hot.

Hey, so my girlfriend is concerned over my use of the keyboard feature in settings. She believes that I am using the keyboard feature in some way to cheat and she is suspicious because she sees that it is in my recent tabs in settings. This has been an ongoing issue for both of us. I try to explain to her that keyboards is simply a feature to add keyboards from different languages, but she thinks I’m using it with third-party apps to somehow hide messages or contact people can you guys please explain to us how this keyboard feature works and also explain what hardware keyboards are so that she can be reassured that I’m not cheating.

I have my laptop dell latitude 7390 which I had freshly installed win11 about 2 years ago. Since then I have downloaded a lot of apps and deleted them, got few viruses but got them removed them at the same time, the C drive has become full of junk as in Appdata and it has become very slow.

Yes I do know how to reset it using settings, but I'd lose all of my apps, my settings, modifications and other things. I want to know if resetting it thru setting app is the best way or any alternative method? Any way to save windows settings and all so it doesn't take me several hours to configure my settings again, getting back my workflow and to download several apps.

It would be appreciated if I can get few tools that would help me save settings and get back it to having it the same as I have it now. Also I wanted to know which folders to save in C drive as it would delete most of the C drive when trying to reset with the option [keep my files but delete apps and settings].

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

My laptop is charging but it's not turning i tried everything and it's still not opening

Touch/trackpad isn't responding to anything laptop model is lenovo slim 5i

I have a Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9. Now, I went into the BIOS of the system and enabled memory overclock. After that i set it to custom profile and hit f10 to save and exit. Ever since then , it has been stuck in a reboot loop.
It goes in a 2 step loop:
Step 1:

This screen pops up and the progress bar goes to 100 percent. After that, i get the following screen:

This screen stays up for like 2 seconds and it then restarts on its own.

Step 2: The laptop tries to startup. The power light(blue) turns on along with the keyboard lights. After that the keyboard lights turn off,the power light remains on, but the screen stays black. Then it restarts after some time and repeats the entire process. This entire thing has been happening for about an hour now. Please tell me what i can do to try and fix it. I did try and contact Lenovo Support but their chatbots werent able to understand what my issue was.

The above was what i posted to r/Lenovo yesterday. I got 2 comments and the first one said:

Unplug the power, pop the bottom off, and disconnect the battery for a bit, then hold the power button down for 30 seconds while it's all unplugged to drain flea power, that should reset the BIOS to defaults.

So, i did that. The system is no longer stuck in a loop but it still is not turning on on. Whenever i press the power button, the screen remains black, the power button(now showing a white colour) and keyboard lights light up . The keyboard lights turn off after 1-2 seconds but the power light remains on and spamming f1/f2 to open BIOS did nothing.

The second comment from the Lenovosupport account said this:
Hello. Kindly try loading BIOS default. Press and hold the power button to completely shut down the unit. Press the F1 repeatedly on startup to enter BIOS. Press Fn+F9 to load optimal default then press Fn+F10 to Exit Saving Changes. -Jomz_Lenovo
However, this didnt work as explained above.

One thing to note that i didnt mention in yesteday's post is that i have not overclocked anything in my life before.

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with my motherboard drivers.

It started when the Ethernet connection stopped working. After that, all USB ports also stopped working when loading an operating system. The strange thing is that the USB ports work normally in BIOS, but when I try to load an OS, they stop working.

I tried Windows 10, Windows 11, and Linux because I thought maybe it was a Windows problem, but the same issue happens with Linux too.

In Windows Device Manager, I see these devices with a yellow warning sign:

* USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller

* Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V

Both devices show Code 10, meaning that they cannot start. In the Event Log, I also found that both devices failed to start properly.

I tried installing different drivers, including drivers suggested by ChatGPT, but without success.

My motherboard model is:

* Fujitsu D3221-B1

* Socket LGA1150

* Intel Q85 Express chipset

* Intel Core i7-4790K processor

The problem is difficult to solve because I cannot connect this PC to the internet. The Ethernet is not working, and I also cannot use a USB Wi-Fi adapter because the USB ports stop working when the OS loads.

If anyone has faced the same problem, especially both the USB controller and Intel I217-V Ethernet controller failing at the same time, please let me know if you found a solution.

Also, is there any way to troubleshoot or install the drivers without internet access and without using USB ports?

btw i use other pc to transfer any drivers or something to ssd, also when i plug ssd and boot into it in other pc everything works

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I have a Nintendo Switch 2, and I’m wondering if I can temporarily charge it with a power bank I already have until I buy a new one specifically for the Switch 2.

The specs of the power bank I currently have are:

Capacity: 10,000 mAh, 3.7 V (37 Wh)
Type-C Input: DC 5 V/3 A, 9 V/2 A, 12 V/1.5 A
Type-C Output: DC 5 V/3 A, 9 V/2 A, 12 V/1.67 A
USB-A Output: 4.5 V/5 A, 5 V/4.5 A, 5 V/3 A, 9 V/2 A, 12 V/1.67 A

The power bank I’m planning to buy specifically for the Switch 2 has these specs:

Capacity: 20,000 mAh
USB Interface: USB Type-C
USB Ports: 2
Power Output: 67 W
Output Voltage: 20 V
Output Current: 3 A

So, would it be okay to charge the Switch 2 with the power bank I currently have?

Would anything happen to the Switch 2 if I charge it using a USB-A-to-USB-C cable?

And is the new power bank I’m looking to buy more suitable for the Switch 2?

I have to write here because i cant on the help section on theirs

A few years back, a hacker got ahold of my account and switched out the email for his. I've made several purchases, and I hate that I've lost everything. The new email displays itself as "th*****@gmail.com‎." If anyone else has been hacked by this same person, and knows the full email, please help. I just want to play Minecraft, man.
