The fan has accumulated dirt. You need to take it to your tech personnel to open it and remove the debris blocking the vent.

harrysterol: I did restore from the previous backup I did before formating the system, am using windows7 and am the administrator of the system, am thinking of formating formating it again today, because I cnt even browse wit the system and some apps keep on getting missing, am using Avast antivirus bt I dint upgrade it


This indicated that the format didn't complete successfully. Did you used a windows 7 cd to format it or
a built recovery manager via F11. you must have clicked on recover and backup, instead of recovery with
no backup.

Yes, you can! But, your tech personnel would have done more than just cleaning the fan. Please, don't do anything more what is on this guide from link ---> GUIDE ON HOW TO FIX HIGH FAN NOISE IN A COMPUTER

Warning! It is highly advisable to take it to your tech.

I've got an iBook g4 that I've been battling with how to install an mtn fastlink dongle on. Can someone help out?

Bella3: Please, i am about choosing between a rlg mgs one and a compaq. I'd like advice on which to go for.
Thank you

I think you should go for the Compaq. Less likely to have issues with servicing.

Check your MTN dongle manaul to see if your Mac OS X version is supported. If not, then you have to look for supported modem to get connected.

Morning.

Am using a Dell inspiron. The laptop doesn't charge when in use and plugged in to power outlet, it just shows charging but it doesn't really charge. I can only charge it when I switched it off.

Any solution?

cheesy the osx on the ibook 4 may be
osx 9 series edition and may not support
it. it surprise me at times when users
didn't check compatibility before buying a
dongle or any other product. for example,
buying a ford focus galaxy tyre for a ford focus
saloon. obviously there would be a problem with handling.

anyway, it just baffles at times lol

How to perform an ATX reset:

Disconnect the power from your computer.
If possible remove the battery and external devices.
Hold the power button for about 15 seconds
Put the battery back in the computer
Reconnect the power
Press the power button to turn on your computer

look on the battery icon, it should read plugged in charging.


if not let the laptop battery run flat then try charging it.
if it works then always make sure the battery prompt you
to connect your charger don't charge your battery in between make
sure you charge when it prompt you to. this is known as battery memory effect
google it to read more.

if that doesn't work this will

I'd Advice you visit dell website for frequent asked questions or
contact dell about it. they might be able to tell what to do about it
as they will know best on what to do. The proper fix is to reball
the onboard graphics using a sophisticated machine often used
by computer repairers. Some people bake their motherboard with a
foil/film wrap. this will not fix it.
