    MICROSOFT HAVE BULLIED ME INTO BEING CHARGED £190 TO REPAIR MY CRASHED LAPTOP


    So my laptop crashed as I did not realise my protection was not turned on They blackmailed me in to getting it repaired saying that if I did not pay £190 then they would not fix the issue but as I needed to have the laptop working for my work I of course agreed But it is a 2nd hand refurbished laptop and is not in good working condition so I do not want to pay their repair fee which seems to be a bit extreme as I think they are charging me for just putting ad blockers on it but it is not working and go and buy another laptopSo as I have not paid them as yet and have blocked my bank card so

    :)

  3. Laptop no longer charging since Windows 10 update

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.


    Step 1

    1. Shutdown your laptop.

    2. Remove the battery.

    3. Connect the AC power adapter to your laptop.

    4. Power on the laptop

    5. Open the Device Manager by typing Devmgmt.msc into Start Menu or from Control Panel.

    6. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
