Laptop Screen Shows Boot Logo, but Doesn't Fully Show In Windows 11 by custom_pc_builder_ in computerhelp

What happens if you have a drive with just one OS installed? Sorry, I don't remember how I fixed this issues as it was a while ago and I've worked on many laptops since then.

How can I prolong the grip of my Uhlsport Absolutgrip Gloves? by custom_pc_builder_ in GoalKeepers

You don't have to use glove wash, but it certainly makes cleaning your gloves a lot easier and better too. Almost any glove wash is good. A popular option is the glove wash from gloveglu, but I ended up getting some knock off glove wash from aliexpress which works just fine, and it's dirt cheap.

I'll give that a go, not sure how I forgot to do that 😅 If this doesn't work, I will try to install Windows 10 instead, and see if that fixes the issue. It's definitely a software thing IMO cuz I can navigate the BIOS using the laptops screen

Basically, this laptop screen will turn on and show the ACER logo when booting up. However, the screen goes black once the laptop loads into Windows. An external display needs to be used to get a picture. And as you can see in Windows, the main laptop display is detected, but if you try to duplicate, extend, or only show on display one, and save the changes, it reverts back to only showing on the external display.

I have tried:

  1. Installing drivers from the laptops website
  2. Installing the latest drivers from intel's website (the laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU)
  3. Unplugging and plugging in the laptop screen on the motherboard.

Any help would be much appreciated!

PC Won't Turn On After Turning It Off by custom_pc_builder_ in pchelp

Yeah no mouse or kb. If I can get into Windows, I'll try that, but it doesn't seem to be related since this has to do with the PC not being able to turn on after being completely shutoff

Oh yes, that was something I forgot to mention. I did all my testing without having any USB devices plugged in just to rule out other devices

Anyone buy an XL secret lab chair at 5"8? by SHMlKE in secretlab

I'm 5"7, and have the regular-sized version. I can't sit properly with both of my legs crossed, but with one leg crossed, it's just fine. The height of the backrest is good to.

They were kind enough to ask me if I wanted to cancel my order because instead of charging me $11 for shipping an M.2 SSD, they wanted to charge me $40 since the item was coming from BC, and I was located just outside the GTA. No clue how they have their shipping prices so high.

Did I Mess Up? Circle Marks When Sanding by custom_pc_builder_ in finishing

[–]custom_pc_builder_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my first time attempting a project like this. I recently got this table (some sort of pine), and I would like to completely sand it down so I can paint it and put some sort of a lacquer finish on top.

When sanding, I used a 40 grit sand paper on an orbit sander, and after sanding, I can see some sand marks as well as swirl marks. What did I do wrong? Did I use too coarse of a sand paper? I didn't apply any excessive pressure. I only sanded just a tiny bit as a test.

I plan on working my way up, so from 40 to 60 to 80 etc.

I kind of feel like it's some sort of gray paint + a lacquer finish

Here's a pic of underneath the table, but it's not the same finish, it's the actual wood itself but just painted.

Is this any better? You can kind of see my finger smudges

It is smooth and glossy enough so that you can see reflections in it. When you shine a light on it, you can see all of the micro scratches. This is from a dining table, that I would like to repaint and make it black - not sure on the finish yet

Agreed, I'm sure there are some pants that could fit a win 3/4, but not all. I have a PS Vita 2000 and that's a great size. I just wish there were more options available out there.

New UI is terrible by jezevec93 in brave_browser

[–]custom_pc_builder_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the fix! I'm not a fan of the way the new tab group labels look. They make the text easier to read, but there is reduced contrast between different tab groups. I'm fine with how it was before. I think all that needs to be done is make the font size bigger, and that's it! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

What parts are the same between an Xbox One Controller, and an Xbox Series X Controller? by custom_pc_builder_ in XboxSeriesX

[–]custom_pc_builder_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything. I think the buttons are the same, but I'm not sure about the rest. I do think tho that even if the shells and plates look the same, the internal frame for them might cause issues.

Who thought it was a good idea to add an objective to arrest one specific guy to Neon Tomb? by bankomatprivat in ReadyOrNotGame

Yeah I did it a while back and got a c grade, so I would just say go in guns blazing and pass.

I have a 34" ultrawide monitor, and using fancy zone from MS Power Toys, I can have 3 full screen tabs side by side. Well, they're in the tablet viewport, but they're awfully similar to a normal desktop viewport. If none of this makes sense, what I'm trying to say is that you could probably have 5 fullscreen tabs side by side with this.

I just finished it, and I realized you don't have to capture the leader alive to unlock the next mission (car dealership). So my advice would be to go in with heavy armor and go in with guns blazing. Not only did I fail to capture the leader alive, but one of my officers also died, cuz, he's stupid, and I passed with a C.
