numericalguy: Hi computer engineers, As a trial and error, you could try upgrading the ram. however when diagnosing a slow system. it is advisable to use google to narrow what might have caused it to slow. simply type make your computer fast on google and follw all the advice on how to tweak the settings get rid of junks and also memory. The general believe is that always install the default Operating system unless that cause a problem, thee should be no need to upgrade. At the back of the laptop, there would be a model number, for example acer aspire 5315, please check previous post before replying. Visit acer's website and have a look for windows 7. if windows 7 is not on the acer's website, there is no point installing windows 7 because the architecture built into the system can only manage the recommended operating system. the manufacturer's knows best. people often say that is okay to install any OS, but professionally and realistically stick to default OS. Is like putting a toyota yaris engine oil into a a toyota avensis engine. although they are from the same manu'f but the archietecture built into the systems are completely different. to conclude, you can try upgrading the memory |

My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty. ORIGINAL KEYBOARD FAULT - All the keys work except keys A S D F G Z C. - Key Z repeats itself multiple times once you boot to desktop. Stop only when you hit the keyboard a little. I was advised to get a new keyboard which I went for yesterday at Computer Village. I tried many keyboards but they kept repeating the following error sequence: - All keys respond when punched - Key Z no longer repeats itself - When you press key A it displays AZ, key S displays SX, key D displays DC etc. and these are the keys that DON'T WORK in the original keyboard. The technician cleaned the Keyboard Controller on the motherboard with brush (no spirit) and tried the keyboards again but it still repeated same errors. He now concluded that the Keyboard Controller is faulty and cannot be changed. I only have to make do with external keyboards. MAIN-POINT: Engineers in the house, what do you think of the above situation. - Is the technician's diagnosis/troubleshooting correct? - If yes, is the keyboard controller fixable/repairable? - If yes, what will it cost me to fix it? adetwin MARKone deji2009 skydancer Oxone BetaTechnicians |

benatex: Guys i've got 60k and i wanna order a laptop from JUMIA, i really don't know d features that make a gaming laptop, can someone help me cbeck their website and give me the link of the one you see. thanks Gaming laptop at 60k is only possible 2nd hand. Gaming laptop are laptops with a minimum of a dedicated 1gb graphics card (for today's games). You can get a 2nd hand gaming laptop with a less powerful graphics card at 60k. What you'll get on Jumia at that price will play older games on low quality settings. It won't play 2013/2014 games well if at all. 1 Like |

donigspain: My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty. Sorry I wasn't around to attend to you. i guess you were the one that met with Gloria? She explained to me what happened. I can't wrap my head around it yet. But I guess a bios reset and update is a sure way to go for now. It's the system and not the keyboard that's bad. |

donigspain: My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty. onegig: Given the above, it would appear that the laptop is suffering from a software problem. In practice, a new keyboard should have fix the issue. if that didn't fix it, the manuf's website would be the next step. FAQ'S and software could be apply and see if it happens again. What is actual model number of the laptop ? We could do the followings .check the bios by tabbing f1o to check for any keyboard settings or reset the bios f9 and f10 to save the changes .secondly check the white or brown plastic pins on the laptop keyboard were not bent during the installation of the keyboard. When the new kb was installed, there was a slight improvement, however the Keys continue to type two letters. |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 4:26pm On Aug 22, 2014 |
donigspain: My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty. 1) Try external keyboard to test if it still behaved the same way. 2) Look for the system exact keyboard not compatible keyboard when buying a keyboard. 3) It could be there is a problem with your motherboard if the external keyboard behave the same way. In that case you have to see a good tech to rectify the problem. If not get a new motherboard. |

Funjosh: Given your explanations, it would appear that you have forgotten your windows password. it would not be easy because it was a 'password issue. This section does not permit us to crack password but can advise you on getting it done. first, I would advise you to get a technician help. it is a new operating system with a built in erecovery software, if corrupted could render your computer useless if the event that you need to reformat in near future. corrupting the built in 'partition' would cost you money to get another window's 8 cd. your best option is to get it done professionally or use the search engine to carry out a solid research on 'resetting windows password' |
