Restarting the windows explorer worked
i removed the batteries as you showed in the video, now my laptop does not turn on at all
Well I tried everything but I still can't see any available networks. Why?
Wow I was skeptical at first because the little battery does not exist in my laptop (of course!) so i gave it my best guess and disconnected a tiny harness that looked like it might be responsible for carrying power from a battery to the board it was attached to and i don’t know if it was that exact component but the monitor indeed works now! Awesome, i’m impressed!
Thanks
Thank you man you really helped me out
