Sigh

[tlhoy]

The internet stopped working on the new computer so Im back to my old broken one that I havent had fixed yet.
My damn TV is acting up shutting off on its own, parts of the screen going dark, no video at all sometimes and now my computer monitor has a vertical red line thru it.

When it rains it pours.

Yes the internet works on my old computer but the new ones wifi and Ethernet dont work anymore. Back to the computer guy it goes.

I squeaked out of a mess this morning trying to find instructions on monitor brightness.
Got into a screen takeover and verbal threats to "fix" it.
Finalllyyyy.... remembered uninstall program .....
Ahhhhh...

Yes it said nothing is wrong. The Ethernet connection never worked and the wifi worked at first but got worse and worse. I keep getting "A network change has been detected" with a reload request every time I tried to change pages or post something. I switched back to my old computer and the Ethernet connection works fine on it.

I can keep an eye on my wifi while its active and see it kept losing it connection every 10-15 seconds for about 1 second. Everything else that we have that uses wifi works fine so something is wrong with the computer. Loose wire or something, I dont know

I'm wondering WHY your ethernet never worked. Is it banged out in device manager? Ie...no correct driver? Tried in bios to see if there is an option to turn it on/off?

Worst case scenario, a cheap NIC may be available...maybe USB if necessary. If I were local, I'd look at it for you. Sorry.

Might work with software issues but if your hard-drive crashes, good luck fixing it remotely. I only use lap-top computers and I just drop it off at the Geek Squad who have an office at my local Best Buy. It's funny that they have a badge that they wear on their belt and they tell me that sometimes they get law-enforcement discounts from carry-out restaurants.
