Hello.

I am having issues with my laptop not detecting my audio card, neither the speakers, the microphone or the 3.5 jack work, i have seen online that is a known issue with this model's mother board, i have tried unisntalling and re installing the drivers and software but nothing works, by unpligging and pluggin back in the flex connector that connects the audio card to the motherboard fixed the issue temporarily but it does not work anymore. has anyone had this issue and be able to fix it? all help is appreciated.
