May be worth while starting from scratch - not checked above posts so you may or may not have already done this but 1. Remove CMOS / BIOS battery for about 5 mins or so, re connect 2. As @Oaktech suggested / mentioned update the bios ( to do this you will obviously need to create a bootable CD ( which you can download from the relevant downloads page for that model of machine off the Lenovo website , burn said disc image ( ISO ) to a cd / dvd and boot said machine off the Disc and attempt to update the BIOS 3. Also whilst on the downloads page download the Diagnostics ISO - I usually google for the Lenovo Diagnostic cd or disc etc and can generally find the relevant diagnostic disc(s) which are generally a Linux type bootable disc to diagnose the hard drive and RAM ( Memory ) If it is still an issue then you will most likely have to log a support call ( assuming said machine is still in warranty ) to get it looked at and repaired by qualified Lenovo engineer(s) There contact number is : 0870 5500 900

Maybe one of the following users may be able to assist with powershell : @Arthur or @Steve21 There may be other people but I am not aware of any off the top of my head although that does not mean to say that others can't help

I was only considering / contemplating selling and getting a 5S was so I could pay off my contract with Three and go with someone else ( I was thinking 02 or vodafone ) as I get no signal what so ever where I work yet my signal in some places other than work , works ok yet where I used to get signal with 02 ie my parents house or other family members houses used to work with 02 but not with Three So wanting to try and get rid of / ditch Three and have 12 months left with Three You are correct ref the extra year but either way ( helps a bit in selling it as gives the other user a bit of cover ref the hand set, as you mentioned the 5S not being that much better I will wait until I can upgrade early ( which will be around September time - even if I have to pay a bit of extra cash to leave Three ) and get the iphone 6 ( one after the 5S assuming the 6 is any good , if not may be tempted to swap to a google droid phone ie Nexus 5

Just curious and hopefully not going off tangent here ( appologies if I am @garethedmondson ) but I have a similar handset so the iphone 5 and was just curious how much I could sell mine for ( details below of mine ) 1. Unlocked but currently with Three ( has iOS 7 ) 2. 32gb Black in mint condition due to the case I have ( which is less than 6 months old ) 3. Otterbox Armour Series case ( which I purchased direct from otterbox and has a year guarantee ) so at least 6 months of warranty / guarantee left on the case 4. Apple Care which I got at the end of September which covers the handset for I believe a further 2 years ( apple care not apple care plus )

I think it is just cars in general tbh ( maybe just me and my $0.02 opinion ) but I have a honda civic executive II ( yes it is from 2001 aka 51 plate and yes it is really old and had a few owners ) but I had to 1. Replace the timing belt / timing chains etc 2. Replace all brake pads + Discs ( which all four wheels have ) 3. Replace all ball joint boots and anti-roll link arms 4. Had the 2 front wish bones replaced Also had some other work done and still needs some other work doing to it to re spray paint one side wing at the front , get the air con working, new wind screen wipers and a new gear stick plus the bit or cover that goes around the gear stick but these are minor things that do not effect the working of the engine etc It did pass it's MOT a few days ago with only one advisory which we are still waiting to get feedback on ( as also need to get the paperwork back from said MOT ) I prefer my japense type cars though !!!

Colin @VeryPC - I call JENGA TIME !!!! Yank it out like a dentist or like you're playing operation !!!

@Dos_Box Book a support call and tell them they need to update there downloads page with the correct drivers for Wireless / touchpad and possibly other drivers if the existing drivers that you are downloading from there support / download page are giving all these issues ?

Chocie Pizza - Yes please !!!

Tick / check the relevant boxes http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/index.php?option=com_chart&Itemid=167

A linksys ? Article from a while back as refers to win xp http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ConfiguringPPTPVPNWithAlternateLinksysRouterFirmware.aspx

If the laptop uses an onboard intel graphics card when the drivers are installed it generally installs the gfxpers.exe that starts with windows which you can either 1) ensure the intel gfx drivers are up to date 2) use graphics properties so the intel utility to setup the projector and laptop display up instead of using the usual windows display properties 3) Using msconfig & task manager disable the gfxpers.exe and setup the 2 displays as you normally would If it uses nvidia or AMD / ATI graphics then just need to do something similar but stopping the relevant exe

PM replied again lol Any guides online etc on how to do it ?

Pm sent, but is there a knack to getting the cat 5 to go down a corner under the floor board and down through the ceiling etc?

What about getting cat 5 between rooms or from downstairs to upstairs ??

I'd like to know how to do that properly and neatly as hopefully going to try and get our own house in the next few years so would come in handy

What router did you get?

I wasn't paying attention to model numbers etc sigh

As in a marauder or tank and you drive off road??

Does the router count lol If so that makes mine 9 devices Sky hub + AEBS 5th gen in bridge mode Both of our phones ( mine and other halfs ) iPad gen 3 Sky + box PS 3 Mac Mini 2011 Work laptop

£30 to £50 at most if it was a decent capacity mem stick , good multi tool and a good sized flask !! Im up for that Would get it in the new year Jan or Feb 2014!! I shall call it the EduTech survival kit 32gb mem stick, reasonable multi tool and big flask

Only pay £20 or more if it was an edu flask with a slot for a usb mem stick and said mem stick included :-)

How much are we talking?

I was reffering to help with the C.V's and helping people / educating them on what to put and what not to use etc as well as other stuff but nothing mean. /honest-answer Agree with @X-13 - general witchy stuff /sarcastic-reply
