Try booting with Ubuntu, to prove the computer really works. Then try a system restore to put it back to running W10. When my Gateway W7 laptop automatically tried to upgrade itself to W10, it bricked

You're asking for alignment, but I'm guessing that the antenna connection to the circuit board has broken. Give it a look before you spend $100 to have it resoldered back to the antenna socket. I had

I thought legalizing weed was supposed to cut down on crime. Maybe they're chasing communists insurgents now. I'll give up when I see streetwalkers sporting SDS-100s tucked down their hot pants. There
