That power adapter looks identical to the one i have. I am fairly certain the problem is with the brick itself, not the wires. The seams of the plastic casing are starting to come apart. I have tried jiggling all the plugs and connections to see if i can get it to reconnect but that does nothing. Also the problem is not with the wall socket because it is happening in 2 different houses.

If youâre not opposed to Amazon and search âDelta ADP-65JH BBâ you will find Amazon.com for $22 . If you followed irvinewadeâs link to Purismâs âshopâ you will note that it is advertised as for the Librem13 and Librem 15 and is $59 plus shipping.

Update: I ordered a replacement power brick off the Purism website and that solved the problem. Thanks to everyone for the help.

I have a new issue running Windows 10 on my Librem 15 v3 laptop that i need help with. I have plugged the HDMI output of my laptop into my TV and in Windows i get video but no audio. The problem seems to be with the drivers. When running Linux Mint everything works properly. In display settings i get [1 Built-in display eDP-1] and [2 LG Electronics LG TV HDMI-1] but running Windows 10 i get [Generic PnP Monitor] for both displays. Is there any way to get drivers for my LG television on this laptop?

By drivers, you mean âdrivers for Windowsâ?
Tried the manufacturerâs web site (i.e. LG)? Usually responsibility lies either with Microsoft (drivers are supplied by the manufacturer to Microsoft and qualified by Microsoft and shipped by Microsoft within Windows) or with the manufacturer (you have to download and install).
Maybe this is Microsoftâs way of forcing you to upgrade to the Enhanced Spyware Platform aka Windows 11? Or maybe this is the manufacturerâs way of forcing you to buy a new monitor?
(Problems can arise if the drivers are shipped by Microsoft with Windows 10 but those drivers are incompatible with Windows 11 and the particular model of monitor is no longer supported by the manufacturer, so there are no drivers for Windows 11 - or the same story with any other pair of consecutive Windows major versions.)
If this were Linux, I would ask whether the audio just didnât get switched across. That is, just because HDMI can carry audio, doesnât mean that audio will automatically change from one of the whatever other audio sinks exist to HDMI when the external monitor is plugged in. That is, on Linux I would be using Settings / Sound to see which audio Output Device is selected.

Thank you, problem fixed. I found Windows Monitor Drivers [IPS Full HD - 1080p Windows] on the LG website. Now i have âLG TV Intel Display Audioâ in my sound settings.

Why not just install Windows as a virtual machine under PureOS? The hypervisor program accesses all of the Linux hardware/driver resources on the host PC directly and makes them available as drivers that Windows can easily recognize and use in the VM. That is what hypervisors do. Such an installation of Windows inside of the VM will therefore easily run inside of a virtual machine under any host OS. Full compatability of all drivers is a given as long as the given resource on the host OS functions properly. For example if audio works on the host PC, then audio will work in the VM also.
One thing I like about this approach is that it reduces Microsoftâs flagship product down to nothing more than a single program that runs under Linux. In this environment, Windows can be denied just about any kind of access that it otherwise would have full control of.

A few months ago i did try running Windows 10 inside Mint using QEMU and Virt-Manager but i could not get it working properly for me. I also saw a YouTube video about Gnome Boxes, so i may try that in the future.

I have never used PureOS as a host PC for a guest OS. But I have had good luck with a few different linux distros as host PCs for both Windows and Linux guest operating systems. Itâs up to the hypervisor program (not Windows) to connect to all of the PCs hardware via the host OS. So once the hypervisor program can see and use all of PureOSâs available hardware resources, youâll be home free even before you install Windows. With PureOS being a paranoid OS to begin with, you might face challenges getting PureOS to play nice with the hypervisor program. Donât forget also that there might be BIOS/UEFI settings required to turn on the ability to run a virtual machine.
The hypervisor program was purpose built for the purpose of running a Windows guest OS using its own built-in virtual hardware environment as the host to Windows. Within the hypervisor program, all Windows installations see the same virtual hardware, no matter what the actual host PC hardware resources are. But if the host PureOS has a problem with the hypervisor program, that might be a problem. If you get stuck on that, you can try a few different hypervisor programs to see if by luck, one might work.
If you determine that PureOS needs to be tweaked to get the hypervisor program to run correctly, then this forum might be helpful. But any problems that have to do with running Windows in the hypervisor program are much less likely to occur since the hypervisor is already supposed to be optimized to run Windows. The actual Windows drivers that Windows always needs come built in to the hypervisor.
