But if you don't mind, can you kindly expantiate for me how to delete device driver. How to easily identify the exact driver and where to locate it.

Thanks in anticipation.
The problem is, that webcam driver is a base driver, it came with that laptop, that's why you search and search, and were not able to download it online, cos you won't find it online. That driver has been corrupted in your present windows. The solution is to reset your windows or restore your pc or you can restore your pc to an earlier saved restore points before the camera problem starts, so that it returns back to default settings or reinstall another fresh windows Os. It will come with the webcam driver installed.

good evening, I bought a london used dell latitude E6420 last three weeks and I upgraded to windows 10. when I installed games like Football Manager and PES on it. it says that the VRAM is low. I googled to find solution to increase the VRAM but its not increasing with all my efforts. please guys what can I do as I bought the system partially for gaming.

note. its 4gig ram .

please I really need you help guys

Even if you increase the VRAM, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor is too weak to handle recent games.

Your best bet is to upgrade your 4GB to 8GB, and at most, it'd play recent games at 10p - 15p fps in 720p resolution, but it'll handle old games comfortably at mid to high frame rate in 720p to 1080p resolutions.

4gb stick of ddr4 ram is 5k or 6k in Computer village. Might be pricier elsewhere.

Just know it's 5x(sometimes more) the price of HDD in the same storage range

Like if 250gb HDD is 3000 then 250gb SSD will be 15000

I don't know if this is the case of recent though

You were right.


I bought 250gb SSD this evening in Computer village for 15k.

Initially wanted to buy 500gb but the price was too steep for my budget.

You're right.

Low end skylake motherboard doesn't support the high end DDR4 technology.



@McAyoola, go for 4gb stick of ddr3 ram. Should be cheaper.

How do I make my computer surf the internet, I normally use my phone's hotspot for it before and it works fine but after a while it will connect to my phone's hotspot but it won't browse. I think it has to do with settings. I've tried all solutions I found online but it's not working.



Now if I connect it to my phone it browse for about 1mins and stops

google search for the windows version activation keys or product keys online and enter the 25 letter keys to activate windows. Or download a kms pico activator software to activate the windows automatically.

allow the internal battery to deplete to 94% or 92% before it could start charging back


I did. It worked.

The two batteries started charging but not at the same time but interchangeably. After three hours, both were fully charged.

I've repeated it for like three days now.

I now realised that is how Lenovo has programmed the battery manager.

BUT IS IT OKAY TO DEPLETE BATTERIES AND CHARGE UP ONCE B4 I CAN SAVE OR MAINTAIN BAT3 LIFESPAN?

Thank you, Op.

Same laptop. When on battery at the lowest brightness display, the screen flashes. I mean it will go brighter a little and returns after 4 seconds thereabouts. The process may now repeat itself after another 4-6 minutes I can't recall per se.

But on a very bright display...be it on bat3 or charger, I don't notice it.

What do you think?

Suggestions are highly appreciated. Grazie

yes, once in a while you need to calibrate your battery so that it would function normally and give correct readings. You will allow the battery to discharge all the way to 0% and charge it all back to 100% fully charged

, might be a feature in the laptop, that regulates the brightness with the surrounding environment, like an ambient lights sensor, to save power. The brightness diminishes when in bright environment and vice versa.

Not Lenovo, that is how Microsoft windows has programmed it, in battery charging behaviour.

Unplug your laptop and press the power button down for 30 sec. Should solve the battery issue.
