HP 2133 MINI NOTE BLINKS and When I try to put it off (by holding down the power button) I see a bright flash before it goes off.

Here is what I tried:
I heated the GPU (VIA) and when I reassembled the system, the laptop turned on and showed HP logo. below where options I could select - I selected the "recovery" option but it brought a blank screen with a blinking cursor.
At this point, I was forced to turn it off by holding down the power button. after a while, I turned it on but the blinking screen problem wasn't solved...
- what do you think I cab so st this stage?

My laptop refused to power on but once you plug in to charge and you press the on botton the system comes up,and the battery at the moment stood at 60%.
But once the charger is removed from the power supply,the system will go off and will refuse to On,unless you plug in the charger to a power source before it will be on.

Before I thought I was the battery but I tried it with a battery from another working system of same HP model but the problem still remain the same.

Please what's the solution ??

Please gurus in the house, I tried dual booting my laptop that was running windows10 with android 5.1 bootable iso but somehow my system crashed. And since then I have been trying to install Windows but it keeps giving me error saying windows can not find required files to complete the installation. Don't know what to do, called the person whom I bought the laptop from and he said it's RAM issues..I almost believed that, but I tried using the same bootable iso on a working laptop and it shows the same error.( I have used different versions of Windows but I used them on the same flash drive) could the problem be from the flash drive that I am using? Please I need your advice, I am going crazy. Thanks in anticipation. The laptop is a Hp elitebook 8740w

Yeah, I know few things about pc and dual booting. This problem from my research online isn't peculiar to dual booting or corrupt boot loader. I have tried the same installation on a working pc and it still fails and pops the same error. That's why I need advice from more experienced people in the field. I know a few things but I still do not know it all and I am always open to advice and suggestions. Thanks bro for your suggestions, I appreciate.

Tell your tech to check the connector for problems and the motherboard could as well be faulty.

What is your screen resolution? If the HD you are playing is higher than your screen resolution it might be the cause of the problem. Tell us about your system specifications and the HD movie you are trying to watch?

What is your system specifications? Is it a UEFI ? Download Rufus and use it to create a bootable USB for the installation. But, you have to provide information about the questions first.

Thank you.

1) Check you system time and date if they are correct. If not correct them

2) Clear the cache and history of the browser you are going to your browser setting and reset it.

3) Clear your system disk of temporary files and folders, update history,etc.

a) Press Windows Key + R to open 'Run'.

b) Type or copy and paste cleanmgr into 'Run' and click on 'OK' to continue.

c) Select all the little box in the 'Disk Cleanup' and click on ' Clean up system files'.

d) In the next dialog click on 'OK' and 'delete on the next one to remove

What is the MVK(Blu Ray file) resolution? If it is higher than 1080 it will crash in a system with 2 GB RAM and low GPU size like your. I think the problem is with the movie. You should convert it to a low resolution.

However, you can try 5KPlayer ---> LINK

With a system like your it is going to take over some hours to converter 1.1 GB video file. Download any video converter free online and convert it to mp4 video. You can download the any video converter ---> HERE

on a second thot....i would give u the support u need...i think i know what may have happened...probably a problem i faced 2months ago....u have accidentally modded the iso from installing it from a usb 3.0 port(usb port with blue color)
or
"failure of Windows installer to remain its detection to the USB drive"
...if im correct....the error is "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. "
This problem happens to all new version of updated Windows installer.....
solution 1:
When Windows is asking for driver, just click Cancel. You will be brought back to the welcome screen. At the welcome screen, remove your USB drive, insert it back to DIFFERENT USB PORT. Click Install Now again. The installation process will be like usual.
solution 2:
disregard all the installation files u currently have and find an old iso(u havent used on the syetm ur currently working on....i imaged an working usb installer and thats what i still use till date..
solution 3:
use an installer cd...

Okay! You are welcome! It means the MKV file is not of a higher resolution. You pointed out it used to happen to MKV files only.

Good Evening, Gurus. First, the system is "DELL inspiron 17r 7720". I have a problem with the laptop's charging. When I hover the pointer to the power icon, it says "No Battery is detected". I have followed a couple of techniques but the "red x" on the power Icon still shows. But I observed something, whenever I put the system on, it shows: "The AC power adapter type cannot be determined, your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. The problem can be solved by; "Ensure the plug is inserted for the best system operation" + "Connect a Dell 130W AC adapter or higher" but the adapter functions still, cos it works even when the battery is removed. What is the problem with the laptop? Please help. Thanks.
