PCMCIA is an Add-on card for laptops, and from what you've described you'll not be needing it.

What OS are you running sef.

Where you able to PING Internet gateway.

You said you did a system restore, did you do a factory reset.


Try to describe your Equipment and the network structure you have, might just be a minor problem.

I think your battery capacity is dying or dead. It is somewhat clear that it is a battery issue. except you have any more information to provide us.

Mellorix:

There are several thing that could cause this problem. First you need to think about few questions.
1.Did you install any application recently?
2.Did you install any Hardware recently ? (printer, Memory card,harddrive etc)?
3.Did you uninstall any application?

Now few things you can try

Start your computer in Safe mood and see if it comes up. To start your computer in safe mode - Click the F8 button continuously when your system is booting up. You will be prompted with the message in the below image. Now click Safe me. Post back your findings.

Where you able to get through to your desktop? i mean did you see files and folders you have on your desktop when you did a safe boot?

Safe boot will take a little time to load up . so Start in safe mode and leave the pc for few minutes to see if it comes up.


If it doesn't. Then there is something called "system file checker" . You would have to perform on the Laptop. Let me know your progress and i will post how to perfom sfc.

Dead battery or about to die battery.

Try to calibrate your battery. what model of laptop are you using?

Hibiscuss:

I stay in ak, can u help fix my system?

Mellorix:

Calibrating, also known as "conditioning the battery" requires you to fully charge then drain the battery. This ensures all battery cells are working and get routinely used. Calibrating the battery can extend the life of the battery. please see below for procedure.

sugarcoatted:
I'v read the procedure and it says i should charge it till it gets filled up. But the problem is, it wouldnt charge. It remains at 0%

Mellorix:

If you remove the power source from the laptop will the laptop still remain on? Or will it go off! ,

If it goes off then you probably need a new battery . Your battery is dead and calibration can not help.

stevekeri: good evening, pls I did as you said, I really need your help pls help me out. d system is not still working well... it didn't com up after I did Wht you ask me 2 do. pls Hw can I do d system file checker.... pls help me. thanks.
