[QUOTE="plat, post: 902407, member: 74969"] Is this laptop running Windows 10 v. 2004? It looks like it but the photo is kind of grainy. If it is running 2004, it's no longer possible to update drivers via Device Manager. You can have a look at the Settings App under Windows Updates/Optional Updates link but be very careful. I prefer to go straight to the sources myself. [URL='https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/windows-10-announced-released-29-jul-2015.368734/page-231#post-2937989']Source[/URL] Either look at Lenovo's site for any Ideapad 330 drivers available or, if your friend is not comfortable taking the back plate off, maybe inquire if there's a reputable shop in the area to troubleshoot the hardware. I read laptops have maybe a three to four year lifespan, sadly. But exhaust all the possibilities first and weigh cost versus benefits. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.lenovo.com/ee/et/search?text=ideapad%20330##[/URL] I don't have the product ID so you'll have to enter that info in order to proceed to the drivers.
