Fix It
Every fix on this page has been tested on real hardware sat on my desk. If a method does not work for me, it is not here. Pick the symptom that matches yours.

Why these guides are different
Most "how to fix X" articles are written by people who have never had the problem. They string together half-remembered Reddit answers and pad it out to 1,800 words for the search algorithm. The fix is buried somewhere on page two.
Every guide here starts with the actual fix in the first 100 words. The longer explanations are underneath, for people who want to understand what they are doing — not as filler.
If a guide is wrong, email me. I will fix it the same week and credit you if you want.
