What a game this is. I got my laptop back<\/a>, but touchscreen wasn’t working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reset Windows, erasing everything. Hurray! It’s working, it’s working, it’s working!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did this and that looked up things, touch touch touch, it worked. So I then shut Windows down and that was that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next day, I turned it on, into Windows … no touchscreen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I downloaded Acer drivers for this model, so many things. Install reboot, do this do that, sometimes touchscreen would work. But it wouldn’t keep working as good as the first time I got it working ever again. I changed display driver once, that triggered it to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I installed Win 11, I couldn’t get touchscreen working at all. I rolled back to Win 10, touchscreen. Ha. Then it was gone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway this laptop, before it was broken, ran Win 10 no problem, and Win 11 as well, with no real problems overall. I re-installed Win 10 or 11 erasing everything a few times before the busted screen, and everything worked without downloading Acer drivers everytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the screen broke, it’s been horrible. Anyhow, my hubby brought it back to the Ufixit guys on Saturday. Got a call yesterday from them to tell us ‘it’s defective,’ they will order a new screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third screen they’ve ordered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe I was right before, my laptop will never get fixed<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
