Hi all   Got a couple of issues with my Medion Erazer P6689-MD60969 Laptop.   The first one is, the two left-hand side USB ports are dead (as is the card reader).  Windows recognises them, they're listed as working properly in device manager, but nothing happens when I connect anything and USB-testing software actually reports them as dead (I can't remember off-hand the name of the software).   Secondly, a bizarre screen issue.  When the laptop is in Windows, it works perfectly fine.  However, when I need to reboot the machine, there is significant screen distortion - the screen looks fuzzy, with flickering usually from the middle to the bottom of the screen, occasionally at the top, but normally resulting in the screen going black.  This is easily fixed by closing the lid and reopening it, and once in Windows, everything works fine, the lid can be moved normally without issue (i'd initially thought maybe a break in a cable somewhere, but the fact the screen can be moved fine once in Windows, well, maybe not.)   I've searched everywhere looking for solutions.  I understand the USB/Card Reader issue means it's possible the motherboard is on it's way out (i've tried reinstalling Windows, unplugging everything for half an hour to flush the USB cache, but nothing works).  The screen issue is the more perplexing one tbh, I literally have no idea why it's happening.  Ideally I don't want to have to replace it, it's a great laptop, does what I want perfectly, so any help would be greatly appreciated.   Cheers   Si ...
