Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Black flashing screen after using the tool, no bios

« on: July 16, 2021, 10:33:37 am »

If you had access to a monitor, you MIGHT be able to see to reset the BIOS from Settings. That said, you might be right about the battery, but you're looking for the pins that say CLRCMOS or maybe CLRTC. Usually, an extra jumper is only connected to one of the pins (does nothing), and you move that jumper to both pins to "short" out the memory and restore the factory defaults. This explains it some:

Finally,  there's a couple videos and I wouldn't want to try this, but here you go:

I hope you get it!

If you give me the make and model of the laptop, I can double-check for you. They may be right, but that would be a first for me, so I'm curious.

Since he disabled it, if it's onboard, most likely it was on by default.

Oh, that's easier. Reset the BIOS to factory settings. Step 2, using the jumpers:

So you know, repairing the Microsoft Store would not affect your computer display. It's a coincidence that while fixing one thing, another broke, sadly not rare. The Windows Store fix is a well-documented registry change that's been used for years.

OK, next up. Once you have no screen or display, you have a problem, a BIG problem. That's why the repair shop sent it back.

The only option is to find a way to see the screen and use System Restore or reinstall. I suspect your display card, hardware, or the screen itself has died, so let's check that out:

Boot using ANY boot CD, bootable Linux, or thumb drive.  You could even boot off a Windows ISO or try the key combination to access your computer's restore program (if it has one).

If you STILL can't see your screen, you've eliminated Windows, and its settings as the problem and now know you have a hardware issue. By the way, any good shop should have done this for you.

Every major upgrade does require a renewal, as always to upgrade, which is optional.

Rest assured, he has it. He is really spending a lot of time working on WR, including a drive cleaner and hopefully 5.0.

Just an update. Frankly, we were falling behind (400 emails), and we apologize for that. Jon has taken over the email support, and all responses should be fast now.

Karen's maybe? A lot of free apps don't offer incremental backups or auto delete. Many offer those as an upgrade beyond free, so finding a free one to suit your needs might be hard. Here are 2 you might consider?

Hi Rick,
 Have you tried Malwarebytes?  That domain does not exist, so Malwarebytes would by my FIRST move:

Check Chrome as well:
Type in chrome://settings/content/notifications in the search bar
Click three dots on the right-hand side of each suspicious URL and click "Remove" under anything wth a similar domain name.

This won't be easy; there are a lot of possibilities. I would look at my router first. Is a firmware update for your router? Is your router failing? Is this a known issue and they have an updated router availalbe.

Otherwise, browse this topic:

The next time you ask for help, we recommend you listen. All Boggin did was try and help you, but you want an answer you're happy with. It doesn't work that way. Otherwise, if you don't need help, don't ask. Windows 8.1 is right there with Vista. It's garbage, should be upgraded to Windows 10. There isn't a gamer left that would use Windows 8.

I'll be glad to delete your account so Boggin can continue to help people who WANT help.

Ok, Please keep the easy suggestion to yourself. Last time it just annoyed me.

I will update once I have some new information.

Some things to consider:
That's not how we talk to people here.
If the post was no help, then clarify why.
The moderator was genuinely trying to understand, and help.
You've been working on this for a "long time" and we're supposed to immediately catch up?
You were given two links at the top of the thread. Did they work?
You don't own this thread, we do.
Stop reporting posts and wasting my time.

Since you can't get the answer you want, then it's time to move on.

Perhaps it's you that doesn't understand Boot up and the Start-up menu in msconfig.

Does Julian's post help you ?

In your Win 7 go Start - type msconfig and press enter when it comes up.

Click on Services then check the box to Hide all Microsoft services and you should see your security programs listed that will auto load and run to check your start-up system files and programs.

Tom, please stop giving me 1st grade tips. You are not qualified for this thread.

General Computer Support / Re: How to remove this Malware?

« on: August 27, 2016, 05:14:31 am »

This thread has been closed. The help was not taken and a disrespectful comment was posted and deleted. There are plenty of tools already created to do this and more @ http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/sortpopularity/windows_10_fixes.html

Otherwise I can't tell, it almost seems more like he was offering his registry tweaks to Shane for the program but it's in the wrong forum so maybe that was the confusion?

Either way, this is closed and locked.
