Hi bigt2 My laptop acer aspire one D257 doesn't come on except for the back light. Our office I.T guy looked at it and said the hard disk is dead because the OS wasn't genuine.(I once changed the OS from windows 7 starter to windows 7 pro and after a while I was getting prompts on the OS not being genuine) Please do you have an idea how much it would cost to replace the hard disk and reinstall a genuine Windows 7 starter and would the RAM be affected by this also? Thanks. bigt2: 1 Like |

bigt2:Thanks sir. Did the latter and it came up. But there is a little problem. My cousin, at first, had mistakenly removed the system-disk confusing it for the RAM. He detached it completely from the system(so much for our naivety). Here is what's displaying on the monitor "non-system disk or disk error. Replace and strike any key when ready" what can we do to effect repair? As to it's specs. Here is a bit of what i can lay my fingers on: LAPTOP - HP 625 Windows - window 7 RAM - 2GB Operating system - Intel (lol. I'm clearly off the boat with regards to computer components.) 1 Like |

Epaul: Given my colleague's advice, could you please restart the machine and keep pressing f10 for bios and run me an hard drive short test. It would be advisable to plug in your charger to prevent unexpected shutdown. |

deji2009:thanks. The F10bios displayed the following "exiting.. Save Option YES, NO and CANCEL". |

Abdujapha:YOUR HARD DISK CAN NOT GO BAD BECAUSE THE WINDOWS IS NOT GENUINE!!! The guy is a CHICKEN That said, it may be another problem. What is your location so that we will maake necesssary arrangements on it. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by bigt2(m): 12:43pm On May 20, 2015 |
Epaul: thats funny and not funny. Sorry for the belated response but i want to ask if the SATA cable connecting the Hard disk to the motherboard is correctly plugged, take note if the cable is not stressed, broken, or suffering from any other tension. let me know how it goes. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by bigt2(m): 12:55pm On May 20, 2015 |
mj245:i smell danger cos the two ics fell as a result of being tilted to an odd angle. You will need a heat gun or an angelic butane/electric soldering iron to solder it back and hopefully, it might work. the heat gun is very scarce here and that leaves you to the option of soldering iron. Good luck for i dont wish you to change the motherboard because of two little ics. This is a lesson for another time. You need to cover delicate parts when working in another area. this is a precautionary motive. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by bigt2(m): 12:57pm On May 20, 2015 |
rottable:you need to change the system fan. get it to a qualified personnel in order to avoid other calamities. What is your location? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by bigt2(m): 1:00pm On May 20, 2015 |
AwesomeRomeo:you can buy the windows 8 disc and install from there. You can also do this without losing any of your files, i.e. without formatting. what is your location please. |

cyif2003: Well, you cant just put any system board into a laptop. You must put the right one or it will not work. I really wished you couldve tried to drain the power first before giving it to a technician. Its always a good thing to just do the basic troubleshooting before going for the extreme. Anyways sha...what is done is done...all you can do is wait for him to get a compatible board for your laptop. |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Tolzeal(m): 12:55am On May 21, 2015 |
AwesomeRomeo: Ofcourse, You can . But firstly make sure you pc specs support windows 8, try confirm this from brand webpage. This would save from further driver issues. |
