Hey there! I really need some help here... I think my Messenger might have a virus or something... It won't even let me into the app. First, it gave me a notification saying they were reviewing my account for prohibited content, and then once they "finished" checking, it told me my account was permanently banned.

Is there anything I can actually do? I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, but nothing works. 😢

Thanks!

Thanks everyone!!!

Thanks, I'm definitely going to give that a shot!!!

This setup works perfectly for me. I use Mozilla, stay logged out of my Google account, run an adblocker that covers YouTube too, and I just accept the cookies for the site. With this combo, I don't see any ads at all, and my watch history and recommendations actually make sense based on what I'm watching. The only catch is when I run CCleaner—that wipes my history, so I have to start from scratch again.

I use an adblocker and I don't see ads on sites like Reddit, but YouTube is still giving me a hard time.🕺

Is that a specific kind of adblocker? Does anyone have a link or something?

Can someone please tell me if there's any way to get rid of ads on YouTube? They keep popping up constantly and it's starting to drive me crazy. Thanks!

I really should have called sooner. I don't know why I thought it was going to be such a massive, expensive ordeal🙂 Maybe someone just spooked me by saying it might be a GPU issue...

wiredcanyon94 said:It’s great that you actually have someone to call. Did the technician make it over to you? Did you drop the "patient" off at his shop, or did he fix it remotely?

I didn't have anyone, honestly—just stumbled upon him by chance. I was looking for someone nearby, and it turns out he lives just three minutes away in my own neighborhood... He actually drove over to my place... on a motorcycle😬 He seems like a good guy, which is the most important thing...

Oh man, I totally agree with you!

I'm right there with you, $67—it’s a bit of a mess. My IT guy even had to come over and fix my startup settings because I was basically turning my computer off every leap year just to deal with some boot errors...

And honestly, since I dug my own hole and made such a huge mess of things, I guess I deserve to pay the price for my own stupidity 🙂 🙂

Thanks for reaching out. I honestly tried everything under the sun, but I just couldn't get the audio back... I ended up having to call a repairman 🙂

I think I messed up big time—I downloaded some drivers and now my sound isn't working even on VLC... Oh man 😢

Is there any way to fix this??!

I really need some help here. I've completely lost all my audio on YouTube and every other social media site. Weirdly enough, my VLC player is working just fine... Any idea what could be causing this? 🤔Thanks!

I might give it a shot 🙂 Thanks

Oh, please! I’m going to give it a shot right now, even though it looks so wild that I honestly think it might be a lost cause.

Yeah, once liquid hits those contacts, they go totally haywire just like you described—plus some keys start acting like machine guns, just firing off bursts on their own.

Most keyboards can be popped open, so you can pull the keys and scrub the contacts; I actually did a deep clean on mine a couple of weeks ago. Most of them have at least some kind of spill protection too, so hopefully, not all the liquid hits the actual circuitry.

You could try fixing the laptop keyboard itself, but man, that’s a massive headache to tear down.

The sooner you strip it down and clean it, the less chance you have of corrosion eating the contacts. You'll probably need some isopropyl alcohol (regular rubbing alcohol leaves nasty residue) and maybe a microfiber cloth.

I don't even know if I could put it all back together 😂 I just grabbed a cheap one, but hey, at least it has a 36-month warranty. Thanks!

I grabbed it, and it still has a 3-year warranty... That's about all it's worth lol... Thanks!

Also, could you guys recommend a decent keyboard? Just something basic, maybe around $67? I’d really like one with at least a 2-year warranty.

I really need some help here. I spilled water all over my keyboard and now it’s acting completely haywire. Some keys won't even register, and others are typing the wrong letters... If I just go out and grab a new one, will that fix everything automatically? Thanks!

Could you please let me know which websites those are so I can take a look at exactly what they offer? I honestly haven't a clue 🙂 Thanks!

Does anyone have tips on finding jeans that actually lift and shape everything in the back (if those even exist 🙂)? Ideally something that won't break the bank. Thanks!
