RICHARD has a very old Toshiba laptop with a broken power switch. For the past six months, he has been "hot wiring" it with a screwdriver to get it to start. Where can he get a replacement part?

First, please put down the screwdriver! I am surprised you have not shorted it out by now. Just leave it on all the time until you get another one. That laptop is at least eight years old. Forget about repairing it. Dell has some good deals. Click HERE to check out the new Inspiron 15 3000 - just $392.

The only issues I see are (1) the small 128GB SSD hard drive and (2) Windows 10 Home in S Mode. Fortunately, you can upgrade the SSD and S Mode is optional.

I know you said that you are cheap. Dude I get it. But that laptop is ancient. It is just a matter of time before the hard drive or power supply fails. You cannot beat that Dell laptop for $392. Buy it.

KELLI says her Canon printer keeps losing the wireless connection. How can she fix this problem?

I see this problem a lot nowadays. Other than connecting it to your computer with a USB cable, the only other thing I can suggest is making sure you have the latest printer drivers and software. The Canon Support page is HERE.
