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

I have a non-pnp monitor listed that isn't there. I realize it's not the end of the world, I just want to know how to get rid of it

I'm using 1 (dedicated), but the onboard one still works. This must be new technology, in my days the onboard was automatically disabled and the only way to have 2 cards was SLI or XF

Trying to figure out how I use touch screen laptop. My display is too large for the screen and I need to drag to see the other side of the screen. How to I set the screen to display the whole screen to fit the display? Not sure that was so clear.

How hard is it to replace a laptop keyboard? Is it something that I should try to do myself with following directions from the internet or is it advisable to pay someone with experience? (the specific keyboard that I need to replace is for a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320)

THANKS -- letters wearing off-- common ?
or only if pond on them beyond what hp considers normal lifespan , since happened to 2 hp computers i would think it is  kind of a planned obsolescence ?--your thoughts
I think if you are from the older generation who smashes the keyboard like its a typewriter will really reduce the life span of the keys.

K. The one I once replace involved removing quite a few screws and some of the casing.
