Fixing that Common Rattle / Buzzing Coming From your PSU (Power Supply Unit)

So one thing I've noticed over the many years I've been a computer geek is that for some odd, God forsaken reason, PSU manufacturers must deliberately want to annoy us. Perhaps even freak us the eff out.

How Can I Remove the Sticky Coating on My Mouse?

ok I cleaned up my mouse insides and now everything works like brand new, but when I bought it, it came with this sort of dull, rubbery type of coating on the outside which was nice when it was new, but over the years it's just worn off in many places, and is super sticky and gross. I tried to use hand soap, dish soap, Goo Gone, nail polish remover - it just made it stickier! Is there something I can use to completely remove it, or am I just "stuck" Laughing with it there??

Mouse Scroll Wheel Only Recognizes Every Other Scroll? - [SOLVED]

ok this has been driving me absolutely BONKERS for a while now. When I scroll with the mouse wheel it's like the first scroll doesn't get recognized, then it'll scroll, then ignore then next couple of scrolls, then scroll, over and over. I've looked through and messed with all windows mouse settings, looked for any third-party software that might be interfering, everything I can possibly THINK of and it still persists! Frustrated

How To Fix an Overheating Laptop (WITHOUT having to take it apart!)

I recently was repairing a few problems with a Toshiba Satellite laptop (L305D-S5938 in this particular case) for someone and was getting nowhere real fast, because it overheated if you just looked at it funny. The second something normal caused the fan to get a little louder, *poof*, off it went; just shut right off in the middle of whatever you were doing. And on top of that, when it wasn't shutting off, it just took foreverrrrr to do anything. Anything.

How Do Turn On Sony Vaio Touchpad??

Hello,

I need help with a problem with my Sony Vaio laptop serial # PCG-71318L.

  1. I need to replace my wireless mouse.

  2. The touchpad is turned off and I cannot figure out how to turn it on among the control panel options. I see on online forums others had this problem but I see no solutions.

  3. I have tried to install 2 new wireless mice. When I do this the new mice do not work.

USB Won't Detect My Device!

HELP! I bought a new USB device, plugged it in, got the popup in my Windows tray area saying it was installing the device drivers and then after a long wait it said it couldn't install the device's drivers. Now whenever I unplug and plug the device back into the USB port I hear the plugged-in sound but nothing else happens so I can't re-try to install the drivers for the device! When I unplug it from the USB port I also heat the unplugged sound, so I KNOW my computer is detecting it, it just won't install the drivers.

Please help!

HP Power on Password reset/removal

Bought a used HP nc8230 and user informed me they could not get into bios. No problem I have diconnected the cmos battery plenty of times to reset bios. It does not work with this model because after a lot of research I found out it has the trusted platform module (TPM). Hp tells me the power on password is permenent in CMOS and the only way to get around this is to replace the motherboard. Just to inform you further about this, the minute you turn it on it ask for the power on password with a picture of a key. You don't even get a chance to try to Fkey into bios.
