It was 7 Nick not a gen copy I thinkHow much has he quoted? Did he say what size hard drive?
If it was just an update that did it, a full reinstall of windows would sort it or a restore like you did with the disks.
Internet issues could have just been Spyware, do you have issues with popups or anything?
What version of Windows was it? Xp / 7?

Ah that's your wireless then. Have you spoken to BT or whoever it is with? There might be some updates for your router (or tell them you want to leave, they will send you a new one). Especially if you have tried changing the channels on it.
I'd get your laptop back for now and get your internet sorted. You could fit a new hard drive yourself (usually about 2 screws) if it does need one.
Has the laptop started making any funny noises, clicking etc?
If your phone won't work on wifi either, it's that causing it. Another test would be to take your laptop to somewhere else where there is wifi and test it there.
Is my phones connection to WiFi dependent on my computers /email I'D in any way that's why I thouget It may have gone
Give them a ring, it might be the box. Does it go through the phone or is it cable?It's a Virgin netgear suprrhub
all three lights are on
Just tried it again on phone and the signal is there it opens this site but I can't interact on it
So seems you're right and the issue is Virgins end If that is It thanx for the info
Give them a ring, they should be able to do tests from their end too. Could be a misconfig on the box or anything.Broadband through cable
Im on virgin superhub too and have wifi problems yet it dhiws strong conection on my phone and devices but wont connect what i do is push a paper clip in tiny hole on the back near the top hold it in until all lights go out ghen come bsck on in other words re set it . Works for me hope that helps.
We'll well well thank you Bulko
Having used the various buttons on it and put in the key several times with the, laptop and failed It seems It was an issue with netgear
Your simple solution has done the trick as I'm now posting on my phone through WiFi
So once again thanks Nick and thanks Bulko
They usually doOh and as I suspected the lad in the shop was trying to have me over
So my advice avoid the second hand phone / Computer/Repair shop on corner of Stoke Row Clay Lane
If it was your hard drive you would probably get other problems like random freezes, reboots, blue screens, rather than not being able to connect to the net. Glad you're all sorted now :claping hands:
Glad it is working now. I would still ring Virgin about your superhub, there might be an update for it to fix it keep going funny.
