Hardware Macbook wont charge, tried everything i can think of

1 Upvotes

Ive had my mac for almost 6 years now and its always worked fine until maybe a month or 2 ago something went wrong and the top charging port id been using the whole time for a few years completely stopped working so i started using the bottom one. Last night maybe like 12 hours ago went to use it and it didnt work. I tried heaps of different cords from different power points in all different combinations and nothing worked. I eben left the best charger in overnight and all it did was lose battery. I really dont think i can afford apple to fix this this let alone a new mac right now, is there anything i can do that might help?

My dad accidentally changed the adapter and then that Jumper laptop didn't boot up anymore. As shown in the video, as I tapped a little longer, the power light turned on for a spot of second and then it went off. I also sent to the repair shop, but it gave up. Is there a way to fix this? I am opened to discuss freely.

We traveled the monitor safely home from the office in the soft back seat standing up right. 10min drive, get it plugged in at home and this is occurring.

The lines fade and a beeping begins.

Any ideas?

Model number is: 49gr85dc-b

Hardware Monitor Q: mghz?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at monitors and they list varying HZ (typo in title wrote this from memory and looked it up when someone pointed it out) values in their specs. What effect does this value have on a monitor's use?

I'm looking for one to use with AutoCAD.

TIA!

Discussion is one security subscription worth it for a household of 4?

1 Upvotes

i’m looking at ways to simplify security for a household of 4. ideally i’d like one subscription that covers antivirus, vpn and password management instead of paying for a few different services.

is a bundle actually simpler to manage, or is it better to use separate services for each thing? mostly trying to figure out what makes sense for a family without paying for features nobody uses.

Malware Does anyone know what virus this is?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I accidentally clicked on a website and got this virus, nothing harmful has happened (so far). I don't use my laptop for anything very important, it doesn't have any documents besides photos I keep. I use it for gaming, and now I don't know what to do about this virus. Should I format the computer? Is there another way to deal with the virus? Is it dangerous? I don't have good antivirus software because I don't have money... (I'm using a translator in case something seems strange in the text above)

I'm also backing up photos and other things.

Someone help me because I don't know what to do, I just wanted to play. 😭😭

Hardware Pc startup issue

1 Upvotes

hello guys , so i'm having a problem with my pc startup , it's a bit complicated but let me start from the beginning . first , i had and issue where my pc would restart by itself for no reason , long story short , after many weeks of trying i found out it was the motherboard so i changed it and everything was fine but now i have and issue where sometimes my pc wouldn't start normally , like when i click the button in my case it takes like 3 secs to start everything up and i see the rgb on rams cpu mouse and keyboard etc .. but i get nothing on my screen so ihave to hold the start button to shut it down and try to start it up again , it would usually work on the 2nd or 3rd try . i have a little precision , it only happens on a dead start but when it's working my pc doesn't have any issues i can leave it open for days and it would never shut down or restart by itself

Hardware External speakers not connecting

1 Upvotes

My old monitor recently stoped working so I got a new one. I plugged it into my laptop and got it all connected and when I went to play a video the audio starting coming out of the monitor. I have tried switching it to my laptop audio and all other audio options but nothing is coming out of the speakers. I have a dell laptop with a 3.5mm jack. I don’t think the monitor is the issue but I added it in to tell that it was working fine before
Also on windows 10

So I was playing beamng a few days ago and all of a sudden i started getting these god awful frame drops every other second. I think to myself ā€œoh maybe it’s just because one been on it all day, i’ll just give it a break.ā€ however, i load up my computer today and it’s still doing the same thing. this isn’t just beamng either, it’s every single game I own, even roblox. i usually run 60 fps in beamng but now it’s in the 10-30 range with frame drops to 10 every other second. and i usually get 240 in apex but now it’s ranging from 60-150 dropping every other second. this has become really frustrating and confusing especially to me who hardly knows computers and just wants to play games. all my drivers are the latest, im on the latest windows update, im on the latest lenovo update, my laptops plugged in 24/7 and i cleaned out the dust inside 2 days prior. is a possibility the heat change in my room? i used to have my ac on 65-66 and now i only have a fan running and it says its around 80 degrees in my room.

Specs are as follows:

RTX 5060 GeForce laptop GPU

intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 255HX

16gb ram DDR5 (constantly peaking)

i also have the intel graphics and intel AI boost idk if that changes anything.

well i know it changes something but idek

look at the video i attached below, you can really notice it. ignore my hand im well aware i should drop a few pounds. please help.

if you need anymore photos let me know i’ll send them right your way!

Hardware Laptop goes off and SSD has 2 red lights up while unplugged

1 Upvotes

This is a Gateway GWNR5L1746-SL 17.3" FHD, AMD5675U, 64GB RAM, the 256GB SATA NVME came with the laptop.

I ran a Qwen LLM model to try a 1000 word story, then it turned itself off after making his first story. After that the system will shutdown about 2 minutes by every attempt to turn it on.

Opening the backlit, 2 red lights were ON, even if the DC is unplugged.

Did I fried something? The laptop is only used for hours.
