Just bought a laptop, screen is messed up

I just bought an Asus laptop a little over a week ago, and the screen is suddenly messing up. It was fine, I fell asleep, I woke up, and now there is this weird shadowing at the top and the screen is flickering. Should I just exchange it? Is it something I might've done?

Good deal. Just to cover the bases, make sure you take the receipt with you

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • I just bought a laptop, trying to download iTunes and it is not downloading.

    I've tried several times downloading iTunes, each and every time it tells me there is an "uspecified error". I don't know what the error is because I just bought my laptop today so I do not have any cookies or bad files in database. How can I solve this?

    How is that related to Firefox support? <br />

    You appear to have AVG installed:

    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

    Have you entered your serial number into CS6 on the laptop to license the software? It'll remain a trial version until you do.

  • Laptop screen is messing up

    Hello,  In late April or Late May i bought this laptop at best buy, the lenovo G50-45, i got it for a graduation gift for college. I havent used it much and i got on it and turned it on, the screen freaked out and does a bunch of random colors and blinks on and off, I have kept it very safe and ive barely used it, i dont know what the problem is. I dont have the money to buy another since i am going in to college soon and i need a laptop!  Thank you. Alexis Martin

    Hi Alexismartin,
    Welcome to the Forums  
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with keyboard in your Lenovo G50-80 laptop.
    Perform power drain, disconnect all the external devices connected to the system shutdown the system, and remove the battery and adapter.
    Now press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and connect the battery and adapter and turn on the laptop and check for the issue.
    Also connect an external monitor if available and check for the issue.
    Best regards,

  • My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • A question regarding a macbook pro i just bought

    Hey, i have an imac 27'' that i use as my desktop computer (mainly for logic studio only), but i just bought a laptop so that i can produce music on the go, i purchased it second hand as my budget wasnt the biggest (15inch 2009 - i know its quite old but i properly checked it out before i bought it!)
    The problem i have is my imac is on lion but this macbook pro is on mountain lion, due to a lot of the software i have not having updates for mountain lion yet i want to downgrade my macbook pro to lion only, i have done a lot of research and it seems i should do the follow (please correct me if i am wrong)
    What i am doing now :
    Backing up via time machine to a third party USB external hard drive
    Then i plan to restore the macbook to its original settings - however - does anybody know the best way to do this so that it will take mountain lion off? When i try to install lion at the moment i get the error message that it cannot be completed because a newer version is installed?
    I then plan to re load my time machine back up on to the mac book pro as the guy left some cool software on it for me (microsoft office, final cut etc.) - however i am wondering if this would interfere with my lion install and would it replace it with mountain lion?
    Any advice would be greatly apprecaited! I know i have gone around the blocks with the question but my main thing is i want to take mountain lion off this computer, put lion on but not lose this software that the guy has left on for me
    Thank you very much
    Lockerz

    Yeah he did. I have 2 disks, one says 15 inch macbook pro applications install DVD and the other says 15 inch macbook pro Mac OSX Install DVD however i put the osx install dvd in first and it just sat in the cd drive made a few noises as if it was turning around and ejected after a minute or 2
    however i know the cd drive is working because i tested it out with cd/ dvd when i went to the guys house
    do you have any clues on this maybe it can save me some time?
    Thanks again

  • Bought a laptop. Can't drag icons to toolbar as bookmarks

    OK, I have Win-XP, SP3, and just downloaded FF 10.0 this week.
    Can someone at mozilla please take into account older people with vague memories? So that from now on, if i key the below on major search engines:
    "how to drag bookmark/icons to toolbar as shortcuts"
    I'll get the answer, instead of spending hours of time trying to find the answer? I searched high & low (i believe the same thing happened last year with my other identical laptop).
    Now i just bought another laptop, same as my other one, and the circus is starting again, trying to figure out how to get the shortcuts dragged to my toolbar.
    '''For example:
    Just now I tried dragging the orange/blue Fox-Icon from
    BOTH: this web page
    AND the toolbar above (which states mozilla.org)'''
    ...tried dragging them to the File/Edit/History/Bookmarks bar.
    No dice, instead:
    2 more Tabs popped up.
    For me, that's very non-intuitive.
    So once again:
    (1) how to enable dragging of icon/shortcuts to toolbar?
    (2) how to ensure that in future, i can find answers intuitively via a simple web-search such as forementioned?
    btw, i also couldn't find a Subscribed-Topics (or User-CP) area, so i can check whether & where i asked this question the last time. And i'm practically sure i did ask this same question, and that the answer was, that i'm supposed to drag the icons. Except that's not working for me now!

    btw, on a tangent, I also had AVG pop up a balloon to the effect that FireFox is taking a toll on available memory (or something to that effect). Does FF 10.0 indeed guzzle memory? I don't need fancy apps.. Never did, and never will, so i hope it's not glutting the system.

  • I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160  when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size   I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt

    I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160  when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size   I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt sizes  how do I make the layers and tool bars bigger?  Please help@

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • I just bought a new pc and My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off.

    I just bought a new pc and for our internet connection we have an airport express. My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off. What should I do?

    If you've not yet tried, unpower the AppleTV for a minute or so and restart - this occasionally corrects issues.
    If not and the software update seems to have caused an issue, go to the Settings menu and choose to Restore it (this will erase all settings) to reapply current firmware.
    Alternatively try to do so via iTunes:
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your Apple TV - Apple Support

    You really should not post your email address on public forum such as this where it can be harvested by scammers. I have request the Host edit for your protection.
    If you bought it 20 days I would suggest that you take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it for you. Why should you have to mess around fixing it.
