download compaq battery test
and make sure the charger is connected
to the mains and run me a battery test.

let us know the results

what's the laptop full
model number and
memory size. for example
toshiba p300-20h windows 7

4GB of Ram Memory

Have you updated the laptop
from windows vista to windows 8 or
windows or vice versa. in other words,
have you formatted the laptop before and
how ?

Sorry for been late o.
The laptop has gone worse. Now, immediately it boot to show desktop icon, the screen will go blank and all buttons won't function except the power button solely for force closing the laptop.
Same thing will repeat if I try booting up again.
Laptop specs.
Compaq 615
It came with 1GB ram but upgraded to 4GB
It was window 7 starter. Upgraded to home premium.(almost 2months ago, though problem started 2weeks ago)
Have not formatted it before, haven't encountered any serious virus threat before.
I did diagnose on the laptop, all areas tested was passed. I.e memory test, start up etc.
I notice the laptop is extremely hot when the problem started.
Thanks bro

A friend's HP pavilion laptop just had a white blank screen while he was using it. He said it was very hot when he touched the base. How can this be fixed. We are in Ilorin and most service centers don't have his screen size, 13.9 or so

Although you were not able to make it to naija state, the laptop has now been fixed. This led me to believe that
Nigeria has gone too far than i first thought. It surprised me to know that the part were available within an hour!

Well done to you guys ! @Adetwin, if I know of anyone that need your
service within lagos, I will let you know. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Get the OS of your choice on DVD/CD and put it in your DVD/CD of your system, restart the system and follow the instructions.

Right click on your ext HDD in my computer, click on properties then on the tools tab then on check/scan disk.

Funny techie. Most likely your laptop GPU is not up to scratch. What games did you install and what is the config of the laptop?
