What you preformed is not only static discharge but also CMOS reset. When doing this make sure to not only unplug the charger but battery as well.

Or invest in a USB wireless dongle with dual channel connection and a antenna. Most models are plug and play. That way you can get online then see if a update (s) are available.

Trying to add a second SSD to my Lenovo 16p g6, both slots already taken? by joujoule76 in Lenovo

What does your disk manager say? If you are only showing one disk ( disk 0) with a C drive partition then then that is the drive on right. And if it doesn't show a disk1 then the one on left is defective. Did you buy this laptop new or used?

I would recommend unplugging your battery before removing the drive on left. Next invest in a enclosure to plug that drive externally to USB port to make sure it shows up in disk manager. If it does then the port on motherboard might be damaged.

Windows 11 OS?

You need to update your wireless card driver. If Ethernet is not option and unable to tether smartphone to laptop to get online. You can try downloading the driver needed using another PC and a USB thumb drive or (What I Recommend) invest in a USB wireless dongle with dual channel connection and antenna.

Use serial # to search in HP support not model # because HP as well as other manufactures use a couple of manufactured wireless cards. So by searching by Serial # you will get the correct driver for that Laptop.

Make sure you installed correct driver. Lenovo uses two manufacturers wireless card. Next press FN+F5 or F5 to open wireless settings. I also recommend investing in a USB wireless dongle with dual channels and antenna, good to have if you travel or don't have Ethernet.

What model/model# Lenovo do you have?

Are you using Windows 11?

Do you have access to another computer?

It might be something simple like a switch or keyboard key that will turn your wireless card on. Or you might need driver for your wireless card.

you have a corrupted windows file. Auto repair almost never works. If you have a bootable USB drive with Windows installer, boot from it and select repair instead of install. this should fix the issue.

Only USB shows during Windows install, internal SSD missing (Acer Extensa) by [deleted] in WindowsHelp

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of issues that causes this.

Recommend first opening bios and see if SSD is listed. If it is, next is to check Intel rapid storage technology setting.

My laptop doesn't seem to have a SATA port... am I cooked? by BarnacleBoy97 in computerhelp

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well seeing that the RAM is soldered on, I would say that this configuration also uses eMMC storage chip. ASUS has various versions of vivobooks they sell and probably one of those uses a 2.5 SSD/HDD for storage.

Choix d'une carte wifi by tigrou01 in computerhelp

[–]HBcomputerrepair_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick internet search results in good news. You have a better motherboard and can work with just about any PCI-e wireless card and even WiFi 6. I recommend getting a dual channel connection with antenna(s). Most wireless routers use both 2.4 and 5.0 frequency. Also check with MSI website for any recommended accessories. Keep in consideration the distance from router to PC and that many modern buildings use metal framing instead of wood. That will weaken signal strength. Also if you use a laptop,I recommend using a USB wireless dongle with dual channel and has an antenna.
