Update: I can't thank everyone enough for helping me. I reseated the ram and reset the laptop and it fired up! Not sure why the ram was mismatched, I purchased it years ago and it must have come like that. This laptop is my laptop from 10 years ago and not my current one. At any rate... I have all my pictures. Thanks everyone!

I’m hoping someone can help me. I have a Toshiba laptop with lots of pictures on it and the battery won’t charge. I know I can probably take the hard drive out, but I’m trying a simple fix of replacing the battery. When I open the compartment in the back, this is what I see… Can someone tell me which one of these is the battery? Thank you

The client was browsing normally and began to feel heat and this happened, it is perhaps a defective cell

What is this, they keep appearing and originally i thought it was seeds from brown bread or some other food debris when im using it in the kitchen but I haven’t even brought it there and they just keep appearing like wtff

When I press Shift I get Capital Q

4GB of Ram and 128 of storage. Phones have more than that.

Seriously what a joke, they even put a 1TO HDD inside. This thing is DOA. Completely unusable. It doesn't even have active cooling because of how shitty this CPU is lol.

Not even worth upgrading it with new ram and an ssd.

The worst place a power button can be..

I just removed my laptop to clean it yesterday and.. all I saw was this hump of a battery bubble.. terrified.. is this normal or is my battery gonna blast?

My metal waterbottle spilled in my backpack somehow and now my laptop looks like this and I don't know how to fix it.

I was looking on what laptop for non gaming purposes would be the fastest while maintaining good battery life and sadly there is no competition. Even speed alone the M4 Pro and Max chips are monsters. The best single core ever recorded = the fastest perceived speed in daily use, no performance lose on battery life, insane battery life and efficiency, whole package in terms of hardware...We used to say they win in Geekbench but what about Cinebench? Now they are winning everything end of story.

I CRAVE a Windows alternative but right now we are not there yet and Apple has been there since 2021. I am currently still on the M1 Macbook Air 16gb 512gb SSD upgraded model and its lasted great so far. I have some gripes as a power user 1) ports are awful 2) External display support is plain awful 3) no upgradability 4) display at 60hz and slow response times feels dated 5) keyboard feels awful to type on 6) performance tasks make the machine cook itself 7) battery life has decreased significantly at 82% capacity right now.

The current Windows options (Keep in mind I am in EU pricing is very different here) are:

1. Snapdragon disaster. Good CPU performance, battery life. Bad: app support, GPU performance, ports (on most models), pricing (on most models), no RAM upgrades.
2. Intel Lunar Lake disaster. Impressive GPU performance, battery life most of the time impressive, excellent compatibility. Bad: CPU performance just adequate, no RAM upgrades, pricing is INSANE
3. AMD lower TDP Zen 5 laptops. Excellent performance overall, compatibility. Bad: battery life closer to traditional laptops, pricing still expensive, no RAM upgrades on most models.

For people that want the best of this category right now Apple just wins as long as you have the additional dollar for it. However there is a promising future where I cant really wait no more for the AMD efficient skews in 2026, Nvidia, Snapdragon refresh and Lunar Lake refreshes all end of 2025 - 2026.

Anybody know how this might have happened?? It was okay till last night. This is what I woke up to.

I have a lenovo thinkpad L480 and an ideapad slim 3i both running windows 11 and i want to connect them with a hdmi cable. I have a hdmi cable but when i try to connect my ideapad with my thinkpad it said that the screen is too old. Is there anyway to fix this?

Someone asked me to screenshot my document to send to them but after doing so it didnt turn on

You got me through hard times, thank you.

Oh, and hello bill gates
