[QUOTE="Topper, post: 971411, member: 186250"] A friend brought his rather old win7 laptop around for fettling the other day. Had no screen output at all so connected an external screen and pressed Fn F5 until an output was displayed. There were numerous damaged files and broken links etc and as soon as a volume repair was completed and it rebooted from the mess 6 months worth of updates for numerous software started downloading, unfortunately that included Win10. The bizarre thing is that whilst the post screen on the laptop still continues to be blank once win 10 gets involved the LCD laptop screen springs into life and begins working. I am still scratching my head on this one, something they no doubt will be doing when they get back their now win 10 laptop. [/QUOTE]
