my laptop screen looks like its about to stop working.

my laptop screen is not good. It has lines of blurred color everywhere and is hard to see something,

also I find it difficult to use the internet on this subject. my router is pluged in my old pc and works well,

but I can only pick up the internet occationally on my laptop.

a friend told me the laptop is dying... maybe a virus attacked the hard drive.

but I use it all the sercurity on it.and it is cleaned each frag day etc.

any ideas?

It could be problem with graphics card, try to restart your PC and press F8 key several times and choose Safe mode and go in and see if it is the same problem or not?

To check the virus, try run full scan with:

Also, try to update your Windows and the graphics card and if the problem is not resolved, contact the manufacturer of your PC.

    My laptop screen is blackened or shaded, but to work. Something is darkening up shortly after departure. What should I do?

    The backlight that run on the screen is burned.  This isn't something that you can fix because it involves disassembly of the computer and parts are not generally available.  It's a hardware problem.  You need to take your computer to a repair store to fix this problem.  If the computer is in power saving mode, that there is no display at all, shines a flashlight on it would reveal a slightly glossy, empty, black screen.

  • I still use OS 10.6.8 now Safari, youtube, etc. are all about to stop working.

    I need to keep the old Appleworks on my computer, so I always use OS 10.6.8

    Now, Safari, youtube, etc. are all about to stop working.

    What can I do?

    Someone suggested there was a way to run two OS on the computer - is it possible?

    Help...

    < re-titled by host >

    10.6.8. move a partition and upgrade the original score to a new version of OS X that you Mac can operate.

    You can then boot from 10.6.8 use AppleWorks or most recent version to run the new version of the software when you need.

    The other alternative would be to do away with AppleWorks migrating to newer applications, so you can just launch the new version of Mac OS X.

    AppleWorks has been finally updated by Apple in 1995 and declared dead in 2007. It's really archaic code.

  • Qosmio F10: Monitor screen looks like a photo of Andy Warhol

    I currently have problems with my screen resembling a picture of Andy Warhol. I resorted to pass through the product Recovery DVD-ROM for my laptop Qosmio F10/G10 in the hope that it back to the factory would solve the problem but it didn't.

    The screen falls down after the Windows Welcome screen, leaving me with my office all Andy Warhol as (i.e., blocks of colors pixelated on the edges of the graphics). I tried to reset the resolution which has solved the problem to an almost acceptable level, but on a temporary basis, because the problem reappears again when I re - start the laptop.

    I think it's something to do with the Windows Multimedia operating system that came preinstalled on my computer (so no recovery disc). The reasoning behind this assumption is that I put a DVD movie in the media which is part of Windows XP and the film is a video of Andy Warhol.

    I put the same DVD in the WinDVD which came as a content of Toshiba and the DVD is perfect! My reasoning is that if there was something wrong with the hardware of the laptop, then DVD playback all programs would react in the same way, but as they do not, there are programming (or operating system problem).

    I'm on the right track? Is there a way to solve the problem via a downloadable file?

    Hello

    The comparison with the image of Andy Warhol's very funny ;)
    However, I recommend you first connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if the same images will appear on the second monitor and run the DVD with Media Center.

    I don't know if it has something to do with the BONES of Mr. for me, it looks like a malfunction of the graphics card, but this is only a suggestion.

  • My MacBook Air screen looks like "safe mode".

    I ran diagnostics & everything checked. I've upgraded to the latest operating system. The display still looks like crap. Can it be some setting? I'm not a geek (but I gave birth to a few) so I would appreciate some advice on where he can blame. OH and I just upgraded to el Capitan, hoping to get rid of some malicious software, but it's still there. Can this be the problem, I first have to solve?

    I would get rid of the malware in the first place, because in general it is very annoying to have on your computer (I guess you get all sorts of pop-up windows or your computer is idle). It is also possible that it influences of various parameters, display for example settings. What is the malicious program, you've found? Have you tried to run Malwarebytes to remove it?

    You can get Malwarebytes here (it's free): https://www.malwarebytes.com/antimalware/mac/

    If Malwarebytes doesn't help, don't worry, you can always remove it, it just means that you need to find the files to remove yourself. Tell us what malicious software you have and we will help you.

    With respect to the screen, I would try a different screen resolutions. When you go into the system, display preferences, you should be able to select a resolution. I recommend reading this article: http://www.imore.com/how-change-display-settings-your-mac

    Just to make sure, you use only the display which is part of the Macbook or you use one or more external displays?

  • Laptop Dell Studio 1537, my "WLAN card stopped working properly.

    I'm not savvy material even when it comes to computers. The last few weeks I had a weak wifi signal and pages were loading very slow and not all the way, etc. I was not able to download anything really, either because of the connection. Earlier I had a pop up of Problem Reports and Solutions, saying "your WLAN card stopped working properly. There is a network adapter that allows your computer to connect to a wireless network. To find out if a version update of your wireless network card is available, contact the manufacturer of your device or computer. »

    My laptop is a 2008 Dell Studio 1537 is no longer under warranty now (I had to pay almost $ 200 for a crack small cover courtesy of my dad dog last year so I'm not a joke). How would I go about fixing that would not cost a fortune? I read something about some people fixed by re-installing the drivers of some sort, but as I said, I'm not too savvy material etc. with comps so I'm a little confuzzled.

    Thanks for any help in advance to all who tackle it. XX

  • light blue all about touchpad stop working

    HP pavilion dv7 laptop

    light blue its not lighting around the touch pad. What can I do?

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Let windows load completely and then see if you can turn on the surround light by holding down the fn key and pressing the space bar.

  • Fingerprint reader in my laptop HP Envy 15-j063 cl suddenly stopped working

    In my HP Envy 15 laptop fingerprint reader - cl j063 suddenly stopped working after 3 months of good work in Windows 8 operating system.

    I have tried all troubleshooting list Troubleshooting a (Windows 8) fingerprint reader

    Hi SergeyPov,

    I see that you are having problems with your fingerprint reader on your laptop. I'd love to help you.

    You mentioned that you also updated the BIOS. After doing that you did that the fingerprint reader is always enabled in the BIOS?

    Another option would be to possibly check the connections related to the fingerprint reader. It may have a bad contact, or it is also possible that the Board is defective. See the link below that can help checking the connection.

  • Computer crashes, screen looks like broad 'pixels '.

    Hello

    My Compaq SG3-250SC crashes after 15-60 minutes. The image on the screen can be seen, but very vague, it contains a lot of "pixels", 5mm wide. The only way to stop it is to turn on the computer with the button.

    If I opened the computer and put a big fan in front of her, everything works normally. A heat problem? The fans on the power supply and CPU are running.

    I tried with another graphics card, but with the same result.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    If the fan can help, it's a thermal problem.  I look to see if the heat sink on the video chip is still in place.  Sometimes the clips on the motherboard pull right out of the Commission on certain motherboards.  I don't know whether or not your motherboard has this type of accurate information.  Push down on the heat sink for the best contact, sometimes the compound dries and separates the radiator surface.  You will need to remove the radiator and put new thermal past on the video chip.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unknown icon on the main screen - looks like an emoticon

    I came across a strange icon.  It's on the screen main (I use the theme today) and it is just above the Messages, at the same level than where it shows the icon of unread messages, but it is more toward the Center, while the icon of unread messages is left a little.

    It is a number (1), and next to it is a thing to emoticon smiley face with a red star, replacing one of his eyes. It's almost as if he said to me an I a something (so the number one next to him), but I don't know what 'it' is, and it's as if there's a chance that I'll have more of them.

    Anyone know what it is?
