Answer to: CPU Heatsink motherboard mount broke offAny sort of non conductive adhesive would work, superglue could be an option, being careful not to cover any components. Maybe if you glue it on on the bottom side.

Answer to: At my whits end!So what you may have done is reset the OS and graphics drivers back to an earlier date when the drivers didn't naively pick up a second screen. Perhaps if you connect the LT to a monitor via the VGA, it might pick up the monitor, typically VGA has builtin basic windows drivers, where HDMI usually needs drivers. Let me know if that helps.

Answer to: Graphic Board Upgrate for ASUS N61VG?No, the GPU is soldered onto the board, the CPU is replaceable. If you google "N61VG motherboard" you can see the heat pipes going to several locations, the GPU is under one them, the bit closest to the fan. In the image, the 4 blue squares look like the gpus ram, the yellow is the GPU and the pink is the CPU.

Answer to: Why my display brightness decreases automaticallyI found this article https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/Yoga-2-Pro-Auto-brightness-feature-and-how-to-disable-in-Windows/ta-p/1294763 I don't know how much applies as I don't know which version of windows your using (this guide is for 8.1), but essentially I think your looking for the "Adjust my screen brightness automatically", or something similar. Let me know if this helps.

Answer to: wont boot except with (windows key, v, and power button)Send it back, accept no other solutions from them! Say you wish to RMA (return merchandise authorization). Say it was damaged in shipping and that the support have been less than helpful and that problems are getting worse, say that's it's unacceptable and your really disappointed by how your being treated by support who are gave you a quick fix for the screen that didn't address the actual damage done to the laptop. Do not attempt to repair the PC yourself as HP may try to claim this removes warranty.

Answer to: leak battery power becouse of weak signalI wouldn't pin your battery problems to weak signal strength, you've probably done more damage to the board and battery than you think. Although, yes, weaker signals use more battery than stronger ones due to packet lose, I think yourbattery is damaged.

Well, microsofts update delivery has become quite robust over the last few years, although still not great for some obviously, but it used to be alot worse.
It uses a linux like system for update delivery which has a very robust update system also the structure of the OS is such that (generally speaking) means that if one part fails the rest of the OS can still function, (I have bad audio drivers crash windows…)
That’s ALMOST what this app does, if MS pushes this in the direction of the OSXs disk util it could become a very handy tool.
But to the question, are all your motherboard & BIOS drivers up to date?
It recommends a 4gb drive but I’ve seen people say that it’s actually 4.2-5.1 depending on various factors, so to stay on the safe side I recommend 8gb.
My apologize for the inconvenience, it does say in the dialog box in step 7 it does say in clear terms that all data will be deleted that all data should be backed up, although my guide fairly easy in terms of steps you should always read each dialogs yourself and fully understand what it is your doing. Creating a bootable disk ALMOST ALWAYS deletes and reformats the data on the host disk.
I hope you get your data back.
Hi name99, it’s an interesting question, there used to be a portable version of windows called windows to go (or something similar) but I don’t think it caught on.
Really what your describing here are key differences between Windows and OS X, tbh OS X is a very resilient, extensible OS and in my opinion Windows has some way to go in terms of end user recovery.
OS X has a lot of features that allow it to work outside its normal operating parameters like booting from USB and it’s excellant recovery options. Windows on the other hand has been playing catch up in these departments, only really having a proper recovery facility since the release of 10, which is the point of this guide to not only make people aware that’s it’s there but how to use it effectively.
It's a feature of windows called User Access Control and is the name for the pop up asking for permission to run an app.
This feature can be disabled which is why I say if.
I agree that that part of the process is important, however there are so many variables to uefi that writing a coherent guide for that would be difficult. Not to mention that screen shotting those steps a more difficult (although obviously not impossible).
But thank you for the feed back, I'll consider it in the future.
They do the same thing essentially, they allow you to boot and recover your windows installation. However there is a one difference and that's that, I believe, the recovery drive tool only gives you the option to create a disk for the computer you are using. It's exactly like the recovery partition that some computers and laptops have.
My guide is quite generic in that you could create the disk for any Windows 10 installation.
Thanks for the question.
Yeah, I used Gaussian blur in Photoshop.
