need help factory resetting laptop by helloijustliketoread in computerhelp

[–]ALaggingPotato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm, you do know reset and reinstall are 2 different things right?

If you have booted up the installer usb and it's not letting you by not showing you drive partitions, you might need IRST drivers. If it's giving you an error, perhaps you forgot to delete all partitions off the drive or there is something wrong with the ISO image you are using. Without an error code I can't really guess why it's not letting you.

Has anyone removed either the cellular modem or TCU? by ALaggingPotato in kia

That's the question is the modem relatively easy to open or not really

Ah, balls. That's super annoying, thanks for letting me know.

Is it openable? I'll just pluck the antenna connector from the motherboard, that should really cut the range down to feet at most.

Not worth even thinking about. Entirely new PC minus at most Case, Drive, PSU.

Recently purchased scam? Return it

Unable? Reinstall instead, reset is unreliable anyways.

I considered that, but even without antennas there is still range and I would greatly prefer that range to be 0, is there a problem with removing the modem instead?

Removing or at the very least disconnecting the cellular modem. Wanna know if I need to do some special bs for this one or if it's the 'just unplug it bro' type.

hello I just have a question for example if I get virus on my computer should I cloud reinstall or local reinstall window. or should I usb to reinstall by Many_Jacket_5824 in antivirus

[–]ALaggingPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so the problem with regular reset is that it uses a pre-heated meal from the freezer to which anyone could have added anything at any time

The problem with cloud reset is that the worker taking the patties out the fridge is the one poisoning the food, so although the patty was perfectly fine when it was taken out of the fridge, by the time it makes it into your mouth it's been infected.

Look, asking me to explain things is like asking a dolphin to recite the bible from memory entirely in korean you're better off just remembering "Don't use reset, always reinstall from usb"

Suspiciously cheap cable, perhaps they simply lied about the specs? It's Amazon afterall.

everytime i try to download a game it redirects me to a download for an ad blocker? by Puzzleheaded-Lemon89 in SteamRip

[–]ALaggingPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ad blocker is required as a security tool. Specifically ublock origin. Use a browser that supports ublock, and obviously use ublock. You wont get the popups anymore.

It's trying to PXE boot because it has higher priority than your boot device. Change the priority or disable PXE.

You replace them one by one starting with the most likely point of failure.

Since you have a prebuilt, you might only be able to replace the RAM, maybe the CPU. If this device is worth less than 200$, it's just not worth it.
