    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    Thanks for this, the info is interesting. I had assumed initially that there would be some form of fixing tape on the inside... but after it came out the first time I couldn't actually see any at all. It seemed as if it was just "clipped" into the bevelled case etc... I'm assuming some tape...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    Yeah, it is quite weird, never had an issue like it on a laptop. The service from PCS the first time round was excellent I have to say, all very straight forward and easy - its just the inconvenience really. Ruled out user error also as its happened to three of us now. hehe.

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    This £1,800 one :( I think the issue is the casing around the display, my best guess is that the bevel is so small, and so thin, that when you open the lid it flexes enough in order for it to pop out. From what I can see, some adhesive tape may have been added on the first fix to hold it in...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    I have an open ticket with PC Specialist who've asked to see a photo, so I've directed them to this thread where the photo is etc. I'm obviously not looking to blame anyone, that won't help, just want to get it sorted for the parents-in-law etc, so that they don't need to worry about it. I've...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    I honestly have no idea how it has happened, they are elderly and certainly not heavy-handed by any means. :(

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Display/Screen Falling Out of Case

    Hi all, Just wondered whether anyone else had experienced anything like this. I ordered a laptop here for my partners mother and husband, they've not had it long and due to illness and other reasons its not actually been used very much yet. My partner contacted me about a week ago with a photo...

    PCSPECIALIST Starting to see garbled graphics?

    I'll download this evening and take a look. As it happens, I just returned from my evening meal and it has happened again.. lol.. This time, the taskbar is at the top, and again doesn't show any garbled stuff on it. Sadly I forgot to close Word before leaving it, so that will have to be a...

    PCSPECIALIST Starting to see garbled graphics?

    Ah, ok, that's interesting. I just assumed that when I did things like a game build, or launched Fortnite etc, where I can actually hear everything revving up and whirring, the loads on the unit must be significant, as all the fans kick in, so I assumed temps must be rising. I guess what my...

    PCSPECIALIST Starting to see garbled graphics?

    So, I've just back in after being out for an hour or so and its happened again, seemingly worse this time, although still constrained to the application window. I had Unity, Chrome, Word and Explorer open, when I came back in the laptop had gone off, I assumed it was asleep, turns out I'd...

    PCSPECIALIST Starting to see garbled graphics?

    Hi all, Thanks for the replies. One day after posting this and the issue seems to have gone away, in that, it hasn't occurred since. Prior to the issue there had been updates for both Windows and the graphics card, since then, I think there might have been an update for Windows but nothing...

    PCSPECIALIST Starting to see garbled graphics?

    Hi all, In the last couple of days I have started to see some garbled graphics on my new laptop, and I'm a very concerned, its timing is a bit scary as I'm just completing my degrees first year and kinda need the laptop! So far I've seen this happen in Word and also in Chrome, here's a...

    PCSPECIALIST Disable Track Pad / Right Speaker Sound Distortion / Weird Sound Problem Between Apps

    Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. This is what I have under Device Manager... The LE_WH_CH700N items are for my wireless headphones, the NVidia ones I'm assuming came with the graphics card, and the Realtek I'm assuming is the built in sound card. (note, I'm loving being able to type and not...

    PCSPECIALIST Disable Track Pad / Right Speaker Sound Distortion / Weird Sound Problem Between Apps

    I'd like to try to resolve the audio issue too, but I think that it would be good to try to ascertain exactly under what circumstances it occurs... I'm about 90% confident it occurs after having Unreal Engine open and then closing that and launching say, Fortnite, or Netflix, but would feel...

    PCSPECIALIST Disable Track Pad / Right Speaker Sound Distortion / Weird Sound Problem Between Apps

    Thank you so much for this, I now have those drivers installed, Windows still felt what was installed was best, but following those steps seemingly ignored that and now I have a wealth of options AND the function button for turning the touchpad on/off now works! Really appreciate your help with...

    Thanks for this, I will give it a go... just conscious of screwing anything up at the moment as relying on the laptop heavily for my course... will give the touchpad drivers a try and see what happens - thanks :)

    PCSPECIALIST Disable Track Pad / Right Speaker Sound Distortion / Weird Sound Problem Between Apps

    Hi all, I'm not sure whether anyone will be able to shed any light on or help me with these items but I thought I'd asky anyway. I purchased the following a little while ago; Chassis & Display Octane Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) + G-Sync Processor...
