Hello Jaymin007

This is clearly a virus issue- your system has been infected.

The only way out is to scan your laptop with an antivirus programme. If you use Windows 10, an updated Windows defender should do a good job.

However if you use Windows 7 or 8, you will need to download or install an antivirus programme to scan your PC.

There's every chance you'll loose the infected files as the virus is being taken care of.


If scanning your PC with a good and updates yields no meaningful result, a last resort will be to format your system-i.e wipe your hard drive completely and have a fresh start.

After the format, you are to install a very good antivirus programme, update it before inserting any external storage device.

*Cheers*

Hello Ujpest.

A few things that could make your touchscreen non-functional:

1. The touchscreen might be dead...literally...yes, every thing does have a lifespan. So,it's probably reached its end point.

2. The flex leading to/from the touchscreen might be damaged. Chances are you will not be able to get the flex,so getting the touchscreen to work again may not be possible.

3. Outdated drivers is also a factor. If you've recently updated your OS, the drivers might still be the same old GPIO drivers which might need some updating.

Your best bet in solving this kind of a problem is to go to the manufacturer site, head over to their drivers and support pages where you will identify your system. Thereafter a list of drivers for your device are listed.feom there, you will download and install the touchscreen driver.

*Cheers*

Rain beat my laptop through the window. I cleaned it up using a cloth, but some buttons no longer function effectively including alphabets to my password. For days now, I've not been able to unlock the lappy.

When did this start Happening?

does your laptop charge when you plug in the charger?

Restart your laptop and see if your mouse will work.

There are several ways to make whatsapp work on your system,

1. Download bluestack, an android emulator app that enables you run apk files on your laptop.

2. download whatsapp file on system and install, then go to menu on your phone whatsapp, click on whatsapp Web and take a shot of the QR code.

3. Update your Opera browser and you will see whatsapp running on it, just open and take a shot of the QR code same way as number 2

I use windows 10. My wifi and Bluetooth doesn't want to work. I bought wondertech's Driver software and as I inserted it, I noticed the wifi came on. I tried to connect to my phone and it was successful. After a while I shutdown the computer and later in the day, I turned it back on and the wifi wasn't working again. I am tired. And I have no idea how I can connect to the internet to search for the driver software. Please how can I rectify this?

sounds like a driver issue.If you have a smart phone with internet connection and you know the model of your laptop modem you can search for drivers ,download and later transfer to your laptop for installation or look for a wired modem and use.

Sure! But expect to be overcharged because they will be able to detect your lack of knowledge and most likely inflate their price l
