Hi guys,
So I've had my laptop for almost 9 months now and have had this problem since day one. I haven't seen it as a problem personally until I asked some people about it and was told it was a problem with the adapter itself.
The problem is, more-often-than-not, when I plug my laptop into...
I'm used to having all my drivers (and a lot of bloatware) installed in the factory of my computers, so my face as I'm scouring "Programs and Features" for things I want to uninstall is a mixture of confusion and relief, you'd be forgiven for thinking PC Specialist actually know their customers...
Before I start I just want to say a big thank you to PC Specialist, they were friendly and efficient and even though my laptop was stuck in pre-processing for 14 working days due to the Blu-Ray drive and CPU being out of stock. They must've been building and testing it as the parts were made...
Hi guys,
So I've needed a replacement keyboard, and I've opted for the fit it myself option. I've removed the flexible cover over the screws, and then removed the screws, and the service manual states I should carefully lift the keyboard up, not bending it, but I lift it up, it just won't...

I received my new Vortex IV 17.3" in the post today, and overall I'm extremely happy with it, but I have noticed that the keyboard backlight has problems. Without the driver being installed, the keyboard reverts to dark blue backlight, however, the right side of the keyboard, where the...

I want to enable to touchpad swipe gestures, such as swipe in from the...
Hey guys,
My Vortex IV is going through the motions of being made and shipped to me, but it's come to my attention that I may need a laptop cooling stand. My current laptop sits mostly on the arm of a chair or on a carpet, but with my Vortex IV being a gaming rig which will need as much cooling...
Hi guys,
My name is Carl, but you will see me on here as radiocaf (An alias that I have used since I was 7 and first online, it stands for Radio <my full initials>.) You can kind of guess what I wanted to be when I was 7, I am now 24 and working no where near a radio station.
After a massive...
Hey guys,
So I am looking to buy my first proper gaming rig, and I have decided to make it portable and have opted for the Vortex IV. Now I practically have decided my budget will be £1,500 although I will happily go a bit higher because I'd rather buy what I want and not have a reason to make...
