How do you stop feed back on your laptop speakers?

The likelihood is if you are using a laptop with an inbuilt microphone, this can be a problem on many new laptops as they actually come enabled with the microphone ready for input, that way, even with a minimal amount of sound, the microphone will pick it up and create feedback. Most laptops come with an fn key near the windows button on the keyboard, if you hold this and then look at your F1-F10 keys, one of them will most likely have a little microphone symbol, hold the fn key and press this F button and the microphone should switch of, resolving your problem, failing that, a pair of headphones on a mic work just as well.

If you are playing online games and are using things like ventrillo, you can sometimes get feedback from talking into the mic and both mics picking up sound and relaying it through the speaker, a pair of headphones will resolve this completely.

What is the problem when some of the keys of keyboard do not work and what is its solution?

Switch off the computer, unplug the keyboard, re-connect it and restart the computer. This may fix the problem.

If it doesn't then try connecting a different keyboard and see if it works. if it does, connect the apparently faulty keyboard to another computer and see if it works with that one.

If it doesn't, then someone may have either spilled some liquid onto the keyboard, and this is interfering with the keys sending signals to the computer, or something is stuck in there, such as a paperclip.

Disconnect the keyboard.

Check for signs of liquid.

If you see any, try placing the keyboard somewhere warm - where the liquid can evaporate.

If you don't see any, try shaking the keyboard gently and listen out for anything moving. If you hear anything moving around, then - ensuring that it is not connected to anything - carefully unscrew the back of the keybaord and see if you can remove whatever is in there.

Replace the cover correctly and re-connect it to the computer.

If it still doesn't work then you probably need to buy a new keyboard - as it will probably be cheaper than paying someone to fix it.

Either the website is busy (From a special occasion, i.e. Superbowl), trying to give everyone the movie....

or it's the internet router. If it is wireless, you may want to upgrade it to something better.

If it still does it, it's not the internet company, it's probably your little wireless internet modem.

Try getting a new one, find one in an affordable range, and find everything you need.
