I don't know if u can find ur way to unscrew d dvd drive from d board. Remove it and blow out any dust particle u can find there. Then re-insert it to d slot again. I tink it shud work if not replace it.

Sometimes it can be caused by malware, insurficient hard disk space or the dvd connector cord. What does it do when you slot, does it signify light, with slight shake as in it is working? Tell me all these then I will tell you how to troubleshoot it. Till then, remain blessed.

Check the battery, charger to see if either is down. Or take it to a PC technician to check the power source.

A friend's laptop has refused to load Windows. It'a Hp with Windows 8. The error information on the screen reads:

Can't find script engine ''VBScript'' for script ''X:\Rita Tool\GetUsedLang.vbs''.

Please what can be done? I want to format it with Windows 7. Is there another option? Timely response will be appreciated. Thanks!

some programs like Adobe, antiviruses etc are made to run in the background though hidden, and can slow ur system. To solve this all you need do is: click on start menu, type in MSCONFIG in the run window or search window. Click on it, disable all those ticked programs, restart your pc, it will improve. The programs you disabled will still work just that they won't be running to slow ur system. Another thing is to run difragments to remove some corrupt or damaged programs. Try these things and get back to me. Thanks.

not to worry, the sound has been muted, kindly go to control panel, click on sound setting and check if it is enabled or disabled, enable it. Another way is to go back to the msconfig, check on the sound and the itunes, after using them, go back and disable it ( itunes) hence it is aiding in slowing your system. To difragment (get more space), go to: Menu, open accessories, go to system tools, you will see it. Once clicked, it will free some corrupt files in your system, though I suggest you don't do this urself hence u are not familiar with it. Enjoy.

bros you forgot to tell me which type of system. Ok, some times it can be caused by a particular dios or ic in the mother board, get a technician to test and change it for you. If properly repaired you will start using the former batteries you changed. Goodluck.

Dear, you can use built-in kboard, on emergency, but I suggest you get a usb keyboard instead of circuit hence it performs better. As for the wlan, there are different settings for certain systems, so go online, Google it and check which setting suits your system. Good luck.
