RooTxBeeR Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Well I have a laptop with a cracked screen, so for the past while it has been sitting hooked up to a monitor. Well it finally came time to wipe it and reinstall the OS. Well I accidentally put the flash drive I was installing off of, int he usb 3.0 slot. So once it reinstalled, it lost all the update information because I could no longer use the usb 3.0. So now I am here with a laptop with a half working screen, no drivers, and no way to figure out what the hardware is to try and get the damn drivers. I have installed speccy and cpuid on the laptop but those provide me with no information so far. Any help on trying to figure out what drivers I need to get the network or ethernet adapter working would be great. That is all I need, from there I can get the rest updated, just need to get to the internet first.

RooTxBeeR Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 http://bit.ly/1v1fhQ6 Ah so asking friends on a website is now considered a rant? Lol ok, if I ever need help I will be sure to not ask you. Where would I find this so called model number on a 4+ year old laptop with no stickers on it?

Jessica Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Lol. I'm just messin with you. But its funny you say you won't ask me for help then you proceed to ask me for help. I would pull the battery off and look for a number there. If that foent work Google the battery model number and see what laptops it goes too and try to narrow down from there Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Jerry Fang Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I do this all the time. What I do is, have an extra PC/Laptop on hand(smartphone works as well) and Flashdrive or card reader. When 1st PC/Laptop have a fresh install of Windows without no drivers and your screen looks all jack up(that's due to no video drivers). On the 2nd machine, go to the manufacturer of your pc and search for your model. Than download all the required drivers for your model then transfer to a flash drive and install all the drivers to your freshly installed Windows. It's more complicated if it's a custom build pc, because you have to go to every manufacturer and download every driver for every components you have in your computer. Other thing you can do to is, on your pc with the fresh install. Plug in the network via ethernet and see if you can go online. If you could go online, go download and install all the necessary drivers. edit: I didn't read the 3rd post. Send me a pic of your laptop. I probably can find your make and model on your laptop.

_paralyzed_ Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is there a site for "let me remove your battery and show you where your serial number is for you"? That would have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
