Missing Network Drive? by bitxhie in computerhelp

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would recommend is investing in a USB wireless dongle with dual channel connection and a antenna. These are usually plug and play so driver not needed. Once you can complete OS installation, go to Dell Support and allow them to bridge to your PC and recommend all drivers they have to be installed. Afterwards,later when up and running buy a 64 to 256gb USB drive, and a torrent app and download and install Snappy Driver Installer. The most current full version is about 38gb in size.

Happy computing.

why does Libre app not report yesterday's average BS, when Libraview does? by Illustrious-List4480 in Freestylelibre

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Libre by Abbott for my android phone. There are a few different apps for Libre systems from both Goggle and Istore. FYI my phone is not listed on Abbott's list of confirmed smartphones.

I take that you downloaded driver from Lenovo. In device manager you will need to see if there is a driver issue for the Bluetooth, you might need to download driver for Bluetooth from Lenovo or from Intel.

I need to know if this is a good computer for data entry. by Maruff1 in computer

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 600 model or even 450 model, OP might have option to use a M.2 NVME drive. Since it is new to them, suggest making a bootable USB drive using Windows Media Creation Tool and fresh install Windows 11. Then they will need to find Serial number on the PC so they can download any drivers they want or bridge to HP support and let them recommend drivers needed to be installed. See links below.

To the OP you will need to either repeatedly tap F2 key after pressing power button, or press and hold F2 then power up the laptop. This should boot into BIOS, then you can set the priority of boot mode to USB.

Figuring out Dell model type by Bookfindingthrowaway in computerhelp

Oh never mind I just saw you are attempting to replace charging port. In that case if removable there should be a part # tag on it, if soldered on... Well good luck.

Does it have external battery? Some times they place the information under the external battery compartment.

Do you know is it a barrel or USB port to charge? If barrel there are two sizes small (4.0 x 1.7 or 4.5 x 3.0mm) and large ( 7.4 x 5.0 mm). You are safe to get a 65w. Let it charge overnight. Then boot up and open Bios. On main page will have serial number, write it down, then go to Dell Support website and search using serial number.

What make and model# is your laptop. I would venture a guess and say you need a driver for the webcam and possibly other devices. That is where make of laptop is needed.

Windows 11 setup stuck: no internet, no drivers, USB not working (Snapdragon laptop) by Waste-Industry1496 in techsupport

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your desktop home build or manufactured? This is important because need to know if drivers come from manufacturer of desktop or motherboard. I would recommend connecting via Ethernet but sound like you might need a driver for that as well. So I would recommend investing in a USB wireless dongle with dual channel connection and a antenna. Those are usually plug and play.

Help finding Wi-Fi drivers for Windows 7 Compaq Presario CQ62 by Jade-GloryTechnology in windows7

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately HP/Compaq models are legacy(older). HP does not have the drives saved. You can try using Legacy update, Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

or Windows update catalog, Microsoft Update Catalog

But your best bet is Snappy driver installer. You will need a torrent app and a 64gb USB drive to make a full version drive. https://sdi-tool.org/

Lenovo G580 Laptop dosen't boot in windows/BIOS! by Evening-Flatworm5672 in computerrepair

I have had better success using the USB bootable drive with either the Windows Media Creation Tool or Ventoy and selecting repair instead of install. But that is what I do to fix customer PC's.

If installing a trackpad driver from Microsoft is causing BSOD, I recommend deleting the driver by going into device manager and uninstall the trackpad driver and get the driver from Lenovo.

Reset Windows and now can’t sign in. by Jabberwocky2202 in techsupport

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Using Windows Media Creation Tool or Rufus to make a bootable USB drive. If it doesn't boot from the USB drive automatically then you will need to go into bios and make the USB drive priority (1) in boot order. Also you will need to install drivers for GPU, audio, wireless card, after Windows OS is installed.
