I believe it was working fine before, you just encountered this recently.

Let's see if the laptop can see the hdd, switch the system off and on it back, immediately you on it keep pressing f9( since u said u press f10, I believe it is HP laptop)

When u press the f9, it will go into boot menu, now you can see the listed boot options.

Look out for "notebook hdd" or "Internal hdd"

If you can't find any of the above, then the hdd is not connected properly, but if you see the above list boot option, then it's likely your hdd is damage.

I'm making this conclusion base on the fact that I believe your laptop was working properly before you find this error.

Apart from that, you can go into setup by pressing f10 and restore default settings, u might be lucky.

But try the f9 to see if the laptop can see the hdd, then we can know where we are going.

Good, which means it's not seeing the hdd at all.

Now restore default settings, go to setup by pressing f10, then f9 to restore default settings and follow by f10 to save..


Immediately you're done with that, go to setup up again and follow the instructions the other engineer gave u earlier carefully.

After what I wrote, did u follow the instructions the other engineer gave u?

Is the legacy option enabled? If it is enabled did u click f10 to save and also input the 4 digit code and enter button?

Try to boot it through safe mode by pressing f8 continuously after on it, this will help you to install any application or file that you put but if it's same thing u need to reload ur os then.

Fault is from motherboard, sometimes it might he from the charging port but 95% of the time from motherboard.


Since it is showing charging but doesn't increase.

Do this, remove the ba3, plug in the charger, when the light shows, u then insert the ba3.

Do that and observe it.

is it safe to do that? And I stay at port Harcourt

Yes, it is save, nothing will happen.. I just want to see if it will charge like that..

Some laptop with this kind of fault, won't charge if ba3 and charger is working the same time, if you put the charger first, then insert the ba3 it might charger.. It's just part of troubleshooting...

So try it and give feedback, better still take it to a laptop engineer closer to you.

if you look at the charging bar. is at the lowest level, but if you plug the charger the charging bar will be going up. after like 10 seconds it will stop going up

That's how it suppose to be, the problem is from the motherboard.

That's why I said you should take it to a laptop engineer, the fault is from the motherboard, the system was draining the ba3 without increasing it, that's why the light was still on.

I just got a London used dell and tried to connect it with an external monitor because I want to be using it in a betting shop but none of the monitor display when I connect them to the laptop whereas they all work fine with the other laptops in the shop.



And the sleep and hibernate features are not enabled through the start button on the laptop and I want it enabled.

You need to drive the VGA(display adapter on device manager)

Those features won't work if it is not yet driven.
