and charger and hold down as in
the laptop power button press it
down really hard for 30 seconds and
connect battery if no Nepa light then
try it again. if there's nepa light just
the charger instead and try power on again

Have you in the past charge the laptop
with a generator or low current ?

lisa04: Pls I nid help. My laptop hs refused 2 come on after I used it sm days ago. Dunnoo wat cld be d problem. I even tried anoda charger 2 knw if mine is faulty,but it still wldnt come on.

Seems most peeps are having almost the same problem.

Lets narrow it down.

Due to harmattan haze and dust particles parking up on the motherboard I would say you check your ram and ram slots, clean them and you are good to go or else then something else is actually wrong which I can't help but check physically (i.e. Vga) which means you have to see an engineer.

Bjayjay: @ gurus in the house, I am using a hp 620 laptop, I recently got a universal modem called icon 225 upon using it for some minutes like 10 to 15 minutes it gets hot and the network is switched off upon which I'll remove and allow to cool down, then d process repeats itself upon connecting to the laptop. To my surprise I connected the same modem to my sis laptop and it's working fine so what could be the problem of it not working effectively on my laptop. Thanks

does the connection drops everytime ?

I cant seems to get what you meant
. @deji2009 that what happens only work for some minutes once it is hot the network drops. But when it cools it'll start working again and then network drops once its hot.

VIRUS.....plain and simple!!! Get and install a good antivirus. Restore your PC to a good point, and install an antivirus to clean up your device.

am running avast free anti virus

purplekayc: am running avast free anti virus

The one that make a sound of a siren and say "caution a virus has been detected"?
If dats what U have plz don't depend upon it. The best bet against virus is caution on the part of the users.

-ensure u don't use external storage media indiscriminately on yo PC.
-apply every OS update available.
-be careful not to access any computer U are not sure of on the network, and don't allow access to your PC over the network unless U are sure of the remote PC.
-install a GOOD antivirus. This is meant to protect U wen options above are bridged.

So bro your free avast may not be sufficient without precaution. There is a reason Avast have the paid version of their software.

Simply follow my earlier advice and don't forget to treat your device with respect.

Chiao!!!

Continue using the modem as you would normally do and
and take note of any changes.

You will need to reinstall the keyboard driver. Download keyboard driver from the manufacturer's website. If this doesn't solve it then you may need to take it to a tachie for further examination.

Plz my ppl, I have a challenge.
I have hp 6000 pro sff dt is having windows issue.
On booting, It prompts d error message, dt a windows file is missing and dt I shld repair.
I've tried using d two types of repair on win xp bootable cd ( chkdsk repair and the full repair) but it seems the pc was built nt to accept this kind of repair.
I have also used the os dt came wit it, put d os, it asks for the restore cd, put the restore cd, it confirms is geniune , put back d os and repair, but all to no avail.

Each time I have d issue, I back up and format. Bt this reinstallation takes my time as I have a lot of other applications to install and configure.

I feel someone in this forum shld have a solution to this repair issue.
