That's a good point. May be the slightly lower voltage in the battery was enough to hold the data but caused some delays in initialization. 12 secs is quite okay. How about one more restart before Windows loads, is that resolved?

One more thing you can try, if you are comfortable is to try to run the system bare without the cabinet. But this is tedious and requires you to put everything back into cabinet later and can damage something if you are not familiar with PC building. You can power on the system by momentarily...

Give this trick a try. Shut down Windows. Turn off Mains button. Disconnect the PSU plug from the socket. Now short the two pins of PSU plug using a metallic object like a screw driver for 30 - 40 seconds. Now long press the power on button on cabinet (Keep it pressed) for another 30 - 40...

Does not seem normal. What is the Last BIOS Time shown in Windows - Task Manager -> Startup Apps -> Last BIOS Time What if you even disconnect USB kb/mouse and check again?

If your Draytek router has VPN Server you can use that by switching to static IP and Bridge mode.

In India IPv4 is exhausted and no ISP I believe offers public IP anymore. Only a few like Airtel, Tata etc offer static IP 4 that too it’s not disclosed on their product pages. It’s only on need basis for extra cost. I briefly told you about SoftEther VPN. It in fact is free and offers IPv6...

Consult a psychiatrist...they might have medication that prevents you from thinking too much or not concentrating on one thing at a time!!!

So what if you again pass this above text to ChatGPT? What scripted response you get!!

I not only changed my ONT I also changed my ISP!!! Airtel ONT Routers were not much locked, up until a few years ago, but the newer models and its firmware has locked most of the settings including Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode has nothing to do with Public or Private IP. It’s a separate process...

I have not tried yet, because I managed to get connected to human agent thru Rufus AI of Amazon and finally managed to initiate return. But have noted that number. Thx

Yes that's another aspect but I guess cost cutting is also part of it. In the end the end customer does not get quality of service. I finally managed to return my faulty product. Also I believe the fitness for purpose is lacking in most products these days. I bought a travel adapter which was...

Generally most UPSs have just a handful of buttons and limited options. Did you try checking thru any provided software app (if available) in case that may be controlling some features? How about other options if any, are they retained or also lost after power cycle? Otherwise do contact the...

Thank you very much for sharing the number. Will surely try. Edit ----- I finally managed to get connected to an agent on chat. The the trick I followed is I asked Rufus (Amazon AI) that I want to chat with an agent and it replied with a link. After nearly going in endless loop of 'No...

Hi, As the title suggests I have a hard time finding the option to actually connect to a real support agent on Amazon. It seems they have removed that option. I tried both web site and app but no luck. Does anyone know how do to it. Earlier it would open a chat window and then I would tell AI...

Site does not look scam but the way they have put disclaimers in Contact Us sections turns me off from buying anything from them.
