Computer Repair

[live bait]

Has anyone used the Geek Squad, from Best Buy, or the computer repair at Staples to fix a sick lap top computer?.......John

No

Is it plugged in and fully charged?

 

[live bait]

All plugged in & ready. Couple weeks ago started getting slower & slower & the cursor became erratic & all over the screen, now all I get is a white screen.....John

 

[wader]

slower & slower


Have you cleared your browsing history & done a file clean up?

 

[JackPrintMD]

How long have you had it?

 

[live bait]

About 4yrs

Cleared history, & cleared cookies, deleated all unnecessary files. Difficult to do anything else with it, as I can't get on line with it.

Run any Anti Virus / Malware programs that you have. Good luck.

Did you try a hard restart?

 

[wader]

try taking the battery out of it - let it sit for about a 1/2 hour(make sure it's not plugged into the wall outlet - put battery back in & restart it - if it comes up minus the white screen - try a system restore to a date when it last operated properly
