Hello folks.
My Lenovo y50-70 touch pad doesnt let me left click, hold and drag an icon or item. I can only double click and drag. The left click just stopped functioning recently
Try these options:

Go to Mouse Settings>Buttons tab>Double click speed>Slide cursor towards Fast>Click on folder with your left click button.

Your left click button should be OK if it opens well.

Otherwise, slide cursor back towards Slow.

Alternatively,

Go to Device Manager>Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers>Right click USB Root Hub> Click Properties.

In Properties box, click the Power Management tab, Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power .

Note: Repeat these steps for each USB Root Hub present.

I have opened the command prompt and dine as u said, it wrote : the system can't find the specified part. Sorry, what does that imply?
Did you mind the space before "/all". It should be ipconfig spacebar /all

Note: I didn't say you should type the "spacebar", but punch it on your keyboard.

Ran a windows network diagnostic tests and the results are you have no preferred wireless network, a network cable isn't properly plugged in or may be broken, and problem with wireless adapter or access point. Could one of these be the cause of the Bluetooth problem. And I also went to device manager and did what u said. I expanded the Bluetooth, but didn't c the model adaptor there. Instead I saw generic Bluetooth adapter and Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator only. And when I clicked on both of them, their device status read, this device is working properly. But it isnt
Yes, It could be. Like i said earlier, I think the PC didn't come with a built-in Bluetooth adapter and according to the diagnostic test, I doubt if you can connect to a wireless network (Wi-Fi) either. Can you?

Did you check "Network and Internet" > "Network Connections" to enable?

Open command prompt as an administrator, then type ipconfig /all and hit Enter, let me see what you have.

You should use Shazam next time the song is played.

Oh! OK. You're welcome.

It's also possible your PC doesn't have a built-in Bluetooth adapter, if that's the case...you should get a bluetooth usb adapter.

What you saw Online doesn't necessarily have to be the same with what you have.

The graphics card your laptop has is Intel's.
Though it could have the two undecided ...But it can't work simultaneously.

Dermie thanks for responding. But please how do I go about un installing and reinstalling the Bluetooth driver? Please just brief me a bit.. as for the other advice u gave, I v done it a million times, didn't get any positive results. It just says searching for device, and it freezes there
Go to Control Panel, select Bluetooth then Uninstall. In case you couldn't find it, you might have uninstalled it unknowingly after system upgrade or something else.

To install, check online for Bluetooth driver that's compatible with your device. If you still have the installation file in your PC, it should be in your "C" Drive, e.g, "C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\BTOOTH\FOLDER_NAME\Setup.exe".

Alternatively

Go to the Device Manager, Expand Bluetooth, and you will see the model of the bluetooth adapter that is installed, click on Update or Uninstall.

You can also check "Network and Internet" > "Network Connections" > "Bluetooth Network Connection", right click and Enable (if Disabled).


I want to believe the Bluetooth has worked well in the past.

windows 10
This could be caused by a third-party program, a malware infection or faulty drivers.

You should consider reviewing your installed apps, perform a malware scan, update drivers and also disable runtime broker.

To disable runtime broker:
Go to Start menu, select Settings, then open System, select Notifications & Actions. You should turn off the option "Show me tips about Windows". Reboot your PC.

Thank you for your response. I am using window 8 which came with the laptop , please how can I go about solving this problem?

If I start the laptop after some hours of out of use, it would work for about 30minutes and trip off, but if I try to restart it, it would continue to trip off while trying to boot.

Going by the characteristics of the problem, I seriously suspect the issue of overheating, please what could be the cause of the overheating and what is the way out?
I hope this isn't late.

Overheating can result from the following:

Overuse of laptop
Bad battery
Use of high capacity game, or other program
Blockage of the cooling fan by dirt
Blockage of air vent by surface placed on

Possible solutions:
Reduce the use of your laptop
Check and fix any related issue to battery malfunction
Uninstall any heavy program or game
Free the air vent from dust or/and clean the laptop fan
Don't place laptop on flat surface.

You can as well backup and restore PC as fresh, disable automatic restart (for test purpose), start PC in Safe Mode, Scan PC with updated Antivirus.

What Operating System are you using?...I hope you're not using a Preview version.

Your PC could be shutting down because of an infection, change in drivers or hardware, overheating, dust in air vent, power source issue.

Hello Everyone. Please I was given an assignment to do, I have to scan them and burn or put them in a disc before submission. I've never done it before and I have to submit it first thing on monday, is there a kind of disc I should buy? Do I need a software or is it a case of just copying and pasting like in a flash drive? Please anyone who can help, give me details on how to carry this out. I'll be most grateful. Thank you very much.
Just get a ReWritable disc, it is usually denoted by (CD-RW).

Go to My Computer, slot in the disc in your CD drive (you should see a change in My Computer), take note of Drive's name (E.g Drive F)

Go to your assignment folder, select the file(s) you need, right click and send to the Drive your disc is.

It should prompt you to rename and probably format the disc before storing your files in it.

It has two options, select use of the disc like a USB flash drive.

Wait till the process completes successfully before you eject

Alternatively

If there's a pop up immediately you insert the disc, or after you double clicked on the Disc drive in windows...Rename and Format the disc, choose USB flash drive.

Once your disc has been formatted, select and copy the files you need, then paste in the Drive you formatted.

Wait till the process completes successfully before you eject.

PhonesRe: This Is Why You Should Uninstall Flash Share Now!!! by Dermie: 7:56pm On Apr 06, 2016
larisoft:
Did you know that flashshare has access to

1. Read all the text messages in your phone
2. Send messages from your phone when they want to?
3. Read your contacts list
4. Read your call log
5. Edit your call log (Making it look like you called or were called by someone)
6. Get full list of all the apps you have installed in your phone
7. Control other apps in your phone

Yes!

If you have the software called FLASH SHARE right now on your phone, then you should know that all the secrets you thought you had on your phone are sitting on someone's computers!!!

FLASH SHARE is given to you for free, but in exchange for that, they take all data about you on your phone, and sell it to anyone that is interested in finding out about you.

if you are still in doubt, open your phone settings, go to apps, open flash share, scroll down to see the permissions of this app.

You will see all the things this app can take from your phone without prompting you for permission.

If you are using your phone for anything classified whatsoever. UNINSTALL FLASH SHARE NOW!!!!
You don't have to uninstall FlashShare, you can set all those permissions to "Always ask". With this, it should prompt you whenever it needs access.
