updating the drivers using windows is a waste of time download the driver from your computer manufactures website onto a flash stick, uninstall the one thats there now and install the downloaded one restart and see if that fixes it

you find an external usb keyboard to use while fixing it.

the best anti virus/malware remover to use is "hitman pro" it use 3 antivirus in the one program. Though the program wants you to pay for it but you are allowed to use it once for free.

it is remarkable. oh yea make sure you are online so it can update.

customer service is a waste of time and money. Have gone thru all that trouble before thinking of repairing it in nigeria. This was my last resort.
But i mite call them again to see if they can ship another motherboard to replace the damaged one, but from the people i spoke to, i very much doubt it.
Dont u know any reliable comp mech dat does shipping of motherboards and laptop? Cos they would have areliable way of getting it and paying for it

sorry i dont know because im not based in nigeria. I think looking at the manufacturers website and call tech support will work best besides they will be able to give you better info as to the distributors they have around the world.

How are you accessing the Bios ? for example F2 OR DEL

Is Caps Lock LED light on when you pressed it ?

Is this a Toshiba equim or Dell Laptop ?

When was the last time the laptop keybaord works ?

When you switch the laptop on what can you see before it

changes again, for example Phoenix Bios F2 DEL

cry  som1 pls reply

mentioning backlight in your message do create confusion at times. for example a patient
telling a doctor what he/she should be telling the patient, is the same as a computer.
next time mention what the problem is.

for example Toshiba Equim M50-192 windows XP switched on and sometime

shows a white screen and comes back normal. That's an example of a problem

and likely to get reply to from technicians. what's the laptop model please ie toshiba p300

Visit a computer technician for solution and avoid doing it yourself.

Let's a technician takes the decision of what to do about it.

If you're in nigeria visit a repair centre not a roadside one.

Use the correct charger and no cut/twist on the cable

Avoid running the laptop on low current electricity

Check no damage to USB and power socket ports

where the charger goes in

you dont get it do you ?

what are the chances of finding motherboard of a computer which 3 months old in the market ? the chances are slim since it is new very few people would have damaged a 3 months old new model

you got two options chill for more three months then you will find damaged ones or buy one from the manufacturer

not booting and switching on are two different things

if you is not booting it means it is switching on so the question why rush to say motherboard ?

tell us what happens when you switch it on

we can help you hear to either pin point the problem or solve it

ask the guy who looked at it if he tried to change the boot sequence and also does he have the your OS cd
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Jeophri(m): 4:31pm On May 24, 2011
@ zimdrill, there's no harm trying. Besides, the problem i'm having iis a factory problem, the system was recalled, maybe even before i bot it. So by now i expect the corrected one's to be in the market.
Besides, i still have to try. Would not just sit here doing nothing.
