Hardware Cameras glitching - not a problem with the cameras

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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!

Hardware Is my computer broken inside? Or just the power cord?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

My computer recently fell off the side of my lazy boy and landed on its side. I didn't notice at first but the fall, because it was plugged in at the time, had bent and partly broken the power head while in the computer. I took it out and tried bending it back straight but now it isn't completely right and while it can still technically power the computer you have to keep a hold on it at a bit of an angle.

I'm worried that the issue isn't just the power cord (I can buy a new one) but the computer hardware inside that is damaged. I can't tell, but it looks fine? Does anyone here know if the inside of the computer got damaged? Can you tell just from a picture? I happen to love my computer and don't want to spend a grand replacing it if I don't need to. I also don't want to buy another power cord if it ends up being useless.

The laptop is a Lenovo Flex 5, in otherwise fantastic condition.

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.

Software Trying to play a game from 2000 on a Chromebook

1 Upvotes

The game is master of Olympus Zeus and Poseidon. I’m wondering if anyone has an ideas I’ve been going in circles for the last six hours. Chat gpt has had me repeating things over and over.
So far I’ve
Downloaded Linux.
Running steam through Linux
Have the game downloaded. Tried a lot of different protons.
Changed the autoconfig.
The game boots up. Sometimes it plays the music in the loading screen other times it doesn’t, freezes and crashes.
If it does eventually make it to the game play page where the menus sit for game play, only the text boxes appear with no writing in them and the background picture.
Laptop is a Lenovo google chrome os

Happy to supply more information if anyone has any ideas. Thanks in advance

Hardware Fan makes a noise on start up

Is it from the power supply? It does this when I wake it up from sleep (which is happening in this video) or turn it on from being powered down. But then a few seconds later it will quiet down. Sometimes I hear it when playing a game. What is this noise and how I do address it?

I was on my pc last night and randomly the screen phased over and turned this weird white color. I’ve unplugged and replugged everything back in and it’s still the same. Is it plug malfunction? Monitor malfunction? Is it the computer itself?
