Computer Troubleshooting/Help Master Thread

Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)

Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

Could it be a PIP? I have 2 VS247s 1 is connected via HDMI, and 1 DVI, 3rd is an older Acer. IIRC none of them have PIP

It may be a different device, like a phone or tablet.

PS, I am running my laptop with 3 monitors :) my set up is cool, I should post pics.

DH Data Recovery:
Delete all PiP Monitors restart and let it autodetect. I would also update graphics drivers

Will try that. Drivers updated. I also read in many places online that unplugging everything for 10 minutes to let capacitors run out can fix this problem

Dan:
Touchpad stopped working on my wife's Toshiba laptop yesterday.

Reinstalling Synaptic drivers didn't help, restoring windows to 2 days earlier before a windows update didn't help, then did F2 to enter setup and F9 to reset defaults and that worked. Still don't really understand what happened though.
