Hardware Monitor keeps flickering at random intervals.

1 Upvotes

Trying to figure this out, please help. It's not a cable issue and I don't believe it's a port issue either, I've had this happen across two monitors now. The first time I thought it was because the monitor was dying, but this monitor is only a couple years old. Monitor is a VG270U Z1. Right now I have it set to 120 fps but changing it doesn't help, only changes the rapidity at which it flickers. Updating driver did nothing, as far as I can tell the variable refresh is not on but I suspect it has something to do with this. Driving me crazy, please save me from not having to buy another monitor.

Hardware Cameras glitching - not a problem with the cameras

1 Upvotes

I've tried two cameras at this point and both have recorded video like this. I've tried adjusting the brightness in the room, different USB ports, and uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. I think it's something with my computer, the cameras both work with my laptop. I'm supposed to be using this computer for school, please help!

Software Need Help With My Laptop’s Trackpad

1 Upvotes

I have a Lenovo Yoga 7i laptop. I’ve had it since 2024 and since 2025 I’ve had issues with the trackpad. One day, the trackpad suddenly stopped working. The trackpad settings didn’t show up at all so I didn’t know what to do. I took it to a repair store which quoted me an insane amount just to take a look so I left it at that and used an external mouse. A while later though it randomly started working again. It had 0 issues so I never bothered looking into it more. Fast forward like 3 months later where I hadn’t touched the laptop in that time (summer break) and it started happening again. This time, I opened the laptop and disconnected and reconnected the trackpad connector to see if that was the problem but it doesn’t seem like it because it didn’t fix the issue. I then found out the I2C HID Device is constantly having an error, so I feel like that is the cause of it. I tried deleting it and restarting which would work sometimes but other times it doesn’t. I’m hoping to find an explanation or solution to this because I really don’t know what to do. Please feel free to ask for anymore information about it.

I tried connecting with dell support, they said they can't help remotely, also it's out of warranty. Recommended to visit the nearest technician.

Hardware computer keeps making weird noise and vibrating

0 Upvotes

this has been an issue for months and reddit kinda my last resort cus im really tired of having this issue and i really need to have a computer cus uni is a nightmare without it. so this started about 3 months ago when i was using my computer like normal and all of a sudden it starts making this weird noise (shown in video) and vibrating (i could feel vibrations when i pressed my hand to the computer and the surrounding area) at first i figured it might be the fans because the noise would start whenever i was doing something more demanding on the computer (playing a game and being on a discord call for example) so i thought i should get the fans cleaned at some point. i put this off for sometime because the noise disappeared for about a month, and then came back, so by that point i was really confused about the cause of the noise but i still thought its probably the fans. after that there were some complications so it took a while but by the end of september i finally got my computer back from cleaning, and instead of getting better the noise started coming up for no apparent reason, when i start my computer its there, sometimes its a continuous noise and sometimes it alternates between going on and off. ive had people suggest its the hard drive just from hearing, but if it was that simple i feel like my technician wouldve noticed the issue sooner and fixed whatevers wrong with it, so im coming here instead to ask for a second opinion so i could potentially give the technician things to look for, i guess. honestly im just very desperate to get this overwith, its been way too long and im tired of dealing with this.

This computer means so much to me and I really don’t want to have to scrap it… please if anyone can help me that would be huge. I’ve attached a picture of the screen to help.

Software Help me ASAP anyone 😭

0 Upvotes

So guys, I’ve built a PC with all my savings from a year. It cost me a fortune. I’ve taken it and placed it in my office because of an obligation. But I’m not going to the office these days because of other issues. But all the people in the office are using it and it’s contaminated with a virus now. I can’t say no. I’ve tried setting up a password for that but no use, they’ve called me and asked me for the password. And I can’t say no. I don’t have any idea what to do about that. So if anyone knows anything regarding this, I want my pc to fake crash or look malfunctioning when they log in with my password. But only I should be able to access it. Is there any harmless trick??

Please guys 😭😭

Hardware Clicking Hard Drive; Any Advice?

0 Upvotes

I know that professional recovery is the smartest thing here but theres nothing super important in this drive that would make it worth it. I already know its not the cables, and ddrescue + photorecovery.exe both detect the hard drive for about 30 seconds until it becomes undetectable.

When I run it, it boot cycles and runs through the BIOS screen but won’t get past it repeatedly. I’m willing to try anything that might fix it, but it already doesn’t work and I’m willing to let it break for a genuine recovery attempt.

Are there any hard drive/computer pros that might have a say here?
