I just spend 3 friggin hours trying to get my laptop to work right. I'll make it short.

Somehow I downloaded some popup program that kept loading popups. I went to programs to uninstall anything I could find but they were still there. I have Windows Defender but that does not do shit. I decided to get some antivirus software but I could not search with the friggin popups going off.

I went to consumer reports to find the best deal. They listed a couple of suggestions for free software. Gotta be okay if it's on CR right?

Download the software and fixed the problem. Free!. They do offer upgrades which I'll probably consider. Help yourself and I'm sure there are other freebies out there too if anyone cares to share.

 
I've been using Windows since 1995,  Linux since 1996.    I do not run antivirus on my own machines.  I will not and do not get viruses /default_tongue.png

Linux is awesome for embedded/servers as I have a Linux server at my business.    As well as OpenWRT.

Combofix and Malwarebytes Free are very good at removing junk.

 
And I am not saying you guys shouldn't run any antivirus but my point is - it's all user interaction.

 
... Oh wait.. I'm only talking to headbanger here... rest are banned... LOL wtf is with banned people.

 
When you turn a laptop on but only get a black screen?? What's

That mean?

 
If you see a boot screen (like a Dell laptop would have DELL on the screen at turn on) and a Windows logo screen, then it's likely Windows is corrupted.. like from virus or something.  Or could be bad hard drive as well.  If it's a Mac,  then it could be OS X is corruted as their HFS+ filesystem is not 100% stable.

If the laptop doesn't even show anything at all when you turn on the laptop, then it's hardware issue.   Could be RAM,  could be screen or cable (rare),  could be defective motherboard,  etc.

It could be a number of things, but most likely a bad video card, or break in the solder, especially if it's an HP...

There were alot of Nvidia 8xxx GPU failure in different brand (Apple included) of laptops due to different solder material.   I had TONS of HP DV2000/DV6000/etc came to me with dead video.  HP were most popular brand of laptops no doubt.  Nothing could be done to fix it permamently back then.

Also with certain ATI/AMD GPU in recent years.... tons of (2011?) MacBook Pro were affected.

I use to work on laptops a few years back, and Nvidia was the worst I've seen. The location of the fans was incorrect, especially in the Hp's on the mid 2000's era, and the motherboard would heat up, and de-solder the video card. I use to re-solder these all the time. My mom still uses an HP of this era, and it still works perfectly, but it ALWAYS sits on a dual external fan, so it is getting twice the air flow, and has never got hot enough to have an issue. Knock on wood!

WIsh I knew you /default_smile.png   Did you resoldered with different solder or did you "rebake" it?

Trying to re-solder a motherboard  is Super Tricky..I started out with what most people would consider the "rebake" method, which involved heating up the motherboard to a precise temp for a precise length of time. This worked fairly well for a short term fix, but the solder never seemed to hold up more than a few months, and it was bad for business, when you would charge someone a couple hundred to fix their laptop, only to have them come back pissed off a few months later. This became such a huge problem, that special re-solder machines were later invented, and my boss bought one, that cost nearly 10k if I remember correctly. With the new machines, you would just insert the motherboard, and the machine did all the work of removing the old solder, and re-soldering fresh solder to the board. Better fans were also installed at this point, to avoid having a repeat issue..

 
Yeah I have done a couple of those... it worked fine till a month or months later.. so I didn't do it anymore as it wasted my time and money (had to refund 100%).   I saw those expensive machines to reball the chips.

  2. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  3. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  4. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  8. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  10. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  12. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  14. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  15. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  17. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  18. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  19. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  20. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
