I have a Dell Inspiron N1050 Laptop, Using it around 3 years and the battery status of my laptop, shows me a oragelight while on windows and when i switch off the laptop, which means the battery is deadth. So I recently purchased a batter for the laptop, But on windows it shows "Battery Plugged in Not charging" and when i switch off the charging status light shows none.
This problem can occur because of both software and hardware, in case of hardware, dead battery is one cause.
The other cause that I have faced, is damaged charging circuit and that is the worst, so find a good mechanic,else new mother board will be needed.
I my case that problem occurred because I had used a low quality charger.
I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 and ran into the same problem, where the Windows task bar battery icon showed "plugged in, not charging". My solution was to:
hold down the power button
plug in the power cord
wait 5-10 seconds for the charging light to switch to amber
release the power button
push the power button again
This resolved my issue and the battery icon on the Windows task bar switched to "plugged in, charging".

Ok so, my monitor is going black on random occasions. Mostly it is when i watch a video. It doesn't matter if it is on youtube, facebook, udemy or whatever other site.
I checked my cables they are all good. I also turned off the screen saver.
Any ideas what it could be?
there could be many reasons for this - bad drivers, bad cables, bad screen, GPU overheating and melting solder connections (I've experienced this).
the easiest thing to check is to see if the issue is in the computer itself. to do that, connect to a different monitor (using a different cable).
to check if it's a software issue, you could try running a LiveCD of a different OS on your computer (for example, Fedora or Ubuntu).
if the issue still happens even with a different OS, then it's likely a GPU problem - you'll need to either get that replaced, replace the mainboard (if GPU is integrated), or replace the computer...

Sorry if this is considered off-topic - not sure where else to ask this. I have a ASUS ROG GL552VW laptop and am trying to figure out whether the HDMI port on it supports HDMI 2.0. I wish to use it to output 4k content onto a TV. However, after reading the manual, and a few hours of searching online I simply cannot find this information. I also struggled to find it for other laptops too. Is there some driver I can look for on my laptop which would tell me if it does indeed support HDMI 2.0? Or something else?
TL;DR Does this laptop "ASUS ROG GL552VW" support HDMI 2.0?
I voted for a move to superuser.com since it might be better for this question. However... I think I can answer as well.
Your laptop appears to have a Nvidia GTX960M which apparently does not support HDMI 2.0: https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960M.138006.0.html
You'll be able to run a 4k TV but only at 30 Hz, which is enough for most movies but can be limiting for some.
from Quora: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-know-which-version-of-the-HDMI-port-I-have-on-my-laptop?share=1
"If you have any Intel Core-based laptop up to the 9th gen, you’ll be limited to HDMI 1.4a while the 10th gen Ice lake series support HDMI 2.0b. For AMD Ryzen APUs, they’re capped to HDMI 2.0b.
This is also applicable to laptops with dedicated graphics as all display output is still handled by the iGPU."

I've just installed Windows 8.1 (my friend tells me the PC will start and shut down faster than Windows 7). I encounter some problems: the screen doesn't fit correctly There are black bars at top and bottom of the screen.
My monitor is LG E2211. I tried using the buttons on the monitor but I can't change the original ratio and It says "Digital input No access" when I choose auto.
I found this topic which has similar problem but it's only for windows 7
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/286677-33-black-bars-5850?
Also, all the games and videos is becoming a lot slower. My friend told me it's because the PC didn't recognize the graphic card. Is it correct?
Go to your official graphic card's manufacturer's website and download the latest driver. I Had the same problem with mine.
Sometimes the native driver struggles to register the correct resolution or place it off screen.

My teenage step-daughter is autistic, and tends to want to run away from school, leisure-club and sometimes even from home. This is very bad for her safety, and a great concern for us.
I am looking for a way to track her, so we can find her again when she runs away.
Here is my ideal (possibly unrealistic) scenario:
Tiny GPS device with GSM/GPRS
Can be woken up via sms when needed (so battery will last longer)
When activated, spins up GPS + Data connection and starts hitting a predefined URL with device ID and long+lat every 15 seconds
Battery life 7 days on standby (ie. when never activated)
Can be disabled put back to sleep via sms
I have googled and researched this for a while, but have yet to find a device that fits these requirements.
The solution could also be a mobile phone of some sort, that I can lock down.
You could do most of that with any Android handset using prey

I'm trying to figure out the best lower-budget home office development hardware setup. My laptop is aging.
My latest idea is that I would like a very powerful desktop paired with a less-powerful laptop. The idea being that the desktop would do the heavy lifting while the laptop would allow me to work untethered (but within range of the wireless network, of course.)
Is such a thing possible, or am I dreaming?
(I develop .Net applications - mostly Asp.Net)
Thanks for ideas!
You can do that with an RDP / Terminal Services client or VNC. You could also run multiple virtual machines on the beefy server (making it look like a poor man's datacentre / set of less powerful servers).
Another benefit is that you can do some testing with the laptop as the browser client and the desktop as server - this can sometimes show up issues that you won't see with testing on localhost (especially if your network goes down in the middle of it).
Yep, this makes sense and this will work. It's a similar model (but not the same) that's been used for unix workstations in the past (X window).
I would keep your aging laptop to use for testing thin client apps - who cares if it's aging how much power does it need to run Internet Explorer?
My dream development system at this moment in time would look something like this:
A couple of nice fast dual core processors
4 Gigs of memory
A couple of Intel X25-M 180Gb Solid State Hard Disks to run my apps off.
3 x 19+" high contrast ratio monitors, these 3 I have on my desk are wicked.
Ergonomic keyboard, I currently have the Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 which I quite like
Wireless Laser Mouse, I currently use the Logitech MX Revolution and I love it
A 2Tb SATA drive for extra storage space (just in case)
Of course, I don't have any of this at home, I have an aging laptop just like you. I have part of this setup on my desk at work and I keep drooling over the other bits and pieces.
You can use the desktop as some kind of a server and let both your desktop and your laptop compile.
It's like they render 3D CGI movies in studios, across a farm of computers.
This is exactly how my current setup is, and it works nicely. I'd still get a couple of 20"+ monitors, as the laptop can be a little restricting for long usage.
