Hello, I sent you about that I did factory reset and had problems with my Wi-Fi and sound, so I got a response from you to use f12 and I did and now I get a blue belted.

Thanks for the reply, could you please elaborate when you say blue belted. I don't see any where I mentioned F12.

Request you provide a screenshot of the issue, so that I will be able to assist you better.

If the wifi or sound is not working, please open recovery manager on your computer and install the drivers from there.

Have you run a system test on your computer?

Keep me posted.
