Hows the tipsy laptop now ????

[Margaret in Burton]

Still tipsy.

caps lock still not working, also left side control and shift.

Also my internal wireless networking doesn't work.
I have it wired at the moment but am going to buy a dongle to get wireless again.

I'm not the only one, someone else did the same a couple of days ago.

yes I saw that seems to be an epidemic
When you say get a dongle what do you use it for as I bought one and it didnt work at all

"Dongle" is a generic term for thingies that plug into a PC, usually into a USB port these days. You can get ones for wireless networking or Bluetooth. In "the olden days" dongles were used to restrict the use of unlicensed software. They generally plugged into the printer port.

[Guest]

The reason I ask is I bought a Dongle and set it up on this laptop but all it said was no signal and did not download anything ???

[Uncle John]

Dunno. I don't do wireless.

We have one in the back of OH's PC as he is nowhere near the router and it would mean trailing wires everywhere. Also used one in daughters laptop when her internal wi fi stopped working.

The one we got was a BT Voyager 1055 Wireless Adaptor. Works fine.
