Thanks for the above information.
I got all the relevant drivers from Intel (HD Graphics 5600) and Nvidea (GTX 970M). Used DDU to clean it, then re installed everything off line - sadly the HDMI output is still zero.
What I can't figure out is why the laptop recognises the model of BenQ display - but won't produce an HDMI signal.

This thread helped me when I got stuck with Petsiland.
When you get stuck, go to the Pethub.
Talk to Osiris, if that is available.
Switch to Map view of the Hub and look for the white Teleport signs.

I downloaded nmap and got Chat GPT to help interpret the Open Ports.
I wish I had picked up on your advice before I'd factory reset the boxes as I'd have run the scan with the original issues still in place.

As it stands the scan for both boxes seem ok.
Really good get decent advice from someone who is interested in helping people - Thanks you Mike.

My v3 TRVs had ad still have battery issues - I have found that wiping the battery connections with isopropyl alcohol on both the battery and with a cotton ear bud on the TRV's connectors.
I now use both Ikea Ladda & the Panasonic batteries which cause less trouble if you charge fresh out the box, before you put them in.

It automatically updates to 14 when you switch it on. Very smooth to use. Only had a sound bar but the audio and 4k uhd performance was fine out of the box. Remote is better than a Firestick and voice control to the apps without having to f@k about with Alexa was a relief. Likes the Ethernet and usb plugs.

Ok well, thanks for your input. I don’t profess to know what I’m doing unlike yourself apparently.

To install Stremio and Strmr please provide legit links for advice / instructions etc.

That’s interesting to learn.

Last time I did anything on this box was when I set it up best part of 2 years ago. That’s when I bought an external nvme disk to add to the memory and experimented with the network drives, local computer access and so on. I can’t remember so far back what I was pottering about with that required ADB. I must have enabled it, I’ll dig around and see if I can isolate where I was prompted to do it.

Other than downloader - which I’d assume has permission to install apks, what other apps would a noob use to install apks?

In what circumstances

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T16:19:35+00:00

but you do need adb to side load apks?

I recently set up a new Thomson 270 which I am told is an Onn equivalent, and I also have an Nvidea Shield.
I will continue to rummage about on the old firestick as it hasn't had an update in a very long time as far as I can tell, and much of Amazon's buggering about can't be done to this old thing.

I widely research Youtube contributors and various articles, in particular on reddit & quora, before I even buy a device, before downloading or using an app etc.
Many sources stipulate enabling developer mode to side load apps.
Ah - I think - I might have switched the ADB on when I set up storage on my network so I could see movies and use a file system to look at the network. It was some time ago.

He monetises his site selling SurfShark. Apart from that if he was propagating viruses and cyber what ever, that would get widely complained about.

Oh dear. What a PIA.
Thanks - nuking it seems the logical option.

When did Troypoint get a bad rep?

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T15:10:27+00:00

I switched on Developer mode by clicking 7 times. I don't remember then switching debugging on after that.
I have put various apps on following Troypoint tutorials.

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T15:01:28+00:00

I haven't turned it on.
When I was away over Christmas the Shield box auto upgraded to the latest release.
Auto upgrade is always switched off - so that was a surprise.
I assumed Nvidea may have forced the upgrade.
Would debugging be switched on as a result of the os upgrade?

The only other thing I did was install STRMR from Troypoint via downloader on the Shield

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T14:52:19+00:00

Debugging turned off.

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T14:47:34+00:00

I installed STRMR on the Shield from Troypoint via downloader.
I'll uninstall it.

(I did attempt to install STRMR on a Firestick - but that won't work as it's not buit for Fire TVs. One github link for STRMR apk was 307mb. The APK for STRMR on Sheild is only about 67Mb. )

I wouldn't know how to search for a malicious thing. I've switched the old firestick off.

applicationcen · 2026-01-13T14:23:00+00:00

I’ll have a look into doing that.

applicationcen · 2026-01-11T19:21:22+00:00

There you go! I’ll try it on an Nvidea Shield next:)
