The bios is super basic unfortunately, thanks anyway

Acer E5-574G, the GPU used to cause laptop to not post (at that time still showing up in device manager when I use reset switch to boot it up), however after some hairdryer work years ago, it no longer shows up in device manager

So I can't just remove components providing power to it so that it doesn't heat up? I'm just curious because there seems to be separate mosfet and vrm group for both cpu and gpu

That's not gonna work unfortunately, the board no longer recognized the gpu, that's the problem.

Tl;dr; just in case: cut off power feeding to gpu without desolder gpu chip itself So I have a laptop that has a broken gpu in it, which no longer serve any purpose and is not relevant for any repair (it's a geforce 920, not really worth replacing at this point) Whenever I start it up, the gpu just go full power and heats up like crazy (not thermal paste related) I want to try removing the power feeding to the gpu so that it doesn't heat up on my lap, it's really toasty Here's the photo of it (in oval) I know I should desolder the gpu, but at this point I just want to cut the power feeding through it so that it doesn't overwhelm my power brick, which of the components should I remove? (other than the gpu) Thanks

Ubuntu boots in UEFI mode, I'm 100% positive. It's just that in order to boot into it, you have to set ubuntu to one time mode in EasyUEFI in order to make it the first in boot priority. However, the next time it boots, it boot into windows again. There's isn't a way to make it permanent AFAIK.

Anyway to prevent it from getting overwritten? The bios doesn't have many option, not even set supervisor password.

Anyone?

His laptop only have secure boot key management when secure boot was set to custom.

Hey guys, I've been looking everywhere for solution, this is actually for my friend's computer, not mine. My current machine: 1. "Nettop" from 2009: running xubuntu 16.04, atom 330, 2GB DDR2, 500GB HDD. 2. Acer E5-574G: dual boot xubuntu 16.04 and win10, 6200u, 12GB ram, 240GB SSD. 1st one is of course not using an uefi bios, so install is really simple, just install and good to go 2nd one is using uefi, but still not hard at all, just put grubx64.efi as trusted in uefi menu **Actual question start here:** My friend's laptop (Acer Z1402-31ZJ)- i3-5005U,4GB RAM,1TB HDD After installing Ubuntu 16.04, it boot directly to windows 10. I know that's normal, so I tell him to add grubx64.efi as trusted. But this is the laptop eufi menu. I have no clue. Seriously. Thanks for the help in advance.

The tablet that I'm using is the teclast x80h, I've seen a lot of fixes, but they all fail to solve the issue lol

I tried, but it'll revert back once I move the tablet.

My windows 10 tablet acelerometer works, but only portrait and flipped portrait work correctly, 90 and 270 degree "switched" Is there any way I can trick windows into thinking "90=270 270=90"? or is there a proper fix or recalibration? I've searched for while now, and reinstall driver or registry doesn't work.

I've always wanted to get a projector for hostel use where I can use it to play games, or watch movies with friends.

I'm using a wireless membrane keyboard which is bundled with an acer prebuilt for almost 4 years now,it would be nice to have something mechanical since I'm currently studying software engineering in college.

Been using the the k7100 from gigabyte for years now, which is indeed scissor switches. Both chiclet (laptop) and scissors works well for me. Both options are welcome

Any recommendations for a chiclet style keyboard that doesn't break the bank? Planning on replacing my current wireless membrane keyboard.

I've switched to ubuntu 16.04 for three days now,and I'm quite happy about it. (other than fixing driver issues and other problems) The last ubuntu version I've used is 13.04 on my old pc,so switching to ubuntu as primary os wasn't really a major issue. I also have windows 10 as a second boot option.

Yup,and each of us have a single id and password to sign into. That's why right now I'm using a windows tablet to connect to that wifi and logged in,and makes it a wifi hotspot so that other devices can use that connection at the same time.

Nope,it only runs off wifi. Well it does have one,but it's outside of the apartment.

Thanks,it won't sign me out so I think it'll be fine.

So right now I'm live in a college hostel,which wifi service is provided, But unfortunately,each of use only have a single account,which means when I logged in into my laptop,my phone or tablet will sign out automatically. Currently my solution is to use my windows tablet to connect to that wifi signal,and broadcast a wifi hotspot of its own,that way every device can connect to it at the same time. But the catch is that the tablet must be active at all time,which I don't want. Is there any other solution? like a wifi repeater device,but works in a different way. I trying to find a device that connects to that wifi signal,and use that signal to broadcast its own ssid. Will wifi repeater work that way too?

Just hooked up my old monitor for a dual monitor setup,there is a really weird issue. when I open a new file explorer windows,the taskbar will redraw (just like pressing restart on explorer.exe in task manager) Here some info on my setup a benq ew2440l (1920x1080),hp w185 (1366x768) Windows 10 home 64bit,I'm also using displayfusion

So that is decided then. Thanks for the help
