Charge when it is off and won't charge when it is power on.

Motherboard issue, take it to a good engineer for check up.

Please help. I put on my laptop one day and discovered that all my files had vanished every single one, also my account settings had changed too I.e. background picture, etc.

Presently any document I save disappears immediately I shut off the system same with saved passwords and username. Its like I'm using the system for the first time when ever I shut down. Thank you.

You're not understanding me.

When you Plugin the charger and power it on, it doesn't come up right? When you remove the charger and try to power it on does it come up without the charger?

Fault might not be from the battery that's why I'm asking.
Anyway, I'll advice you take it to good engineer close to you.

Actually, I downloaded an exe file some days ago that I was finding hard to install. I searched for solutions online and I came across one that told me to go to the registry editor and change the directory file form "program Files/(x86)" to Program Files (x86). Since then, most of the applications on my computer are not opening. I have tried to open reg editor as an admin but i've not been able to.
I'll appreciate any assistance. Thanks

Hi.

Yea right... Adventure gone sour grin grin it's happened to me several times... Only 3 times actually. 2 of which I had to re-install the operating system. If you had backed up your registry, all you had to do would've been too restore the registry and you're good.

Best way out... Re-install the OS.

*cheers*

Hi.
Single cell =NGN 6500 for the replacement battery, NGN14500 For original.

Double Cell = NGN 11500 for replacement battery, NGN17500 for original.

Thanks for the reply, in other words 'replacement battery' means fake or what? Plus how long can the replacement battery last for?

Obviously, it lasts less longer than the manufacturers battery.
Max you can practically achieve with a replacement battery is 1hr30 min to 1hr50min. Double cell is about 3hrs30min to 3hrs43min in practical terms.

In theory it's 2hrs and 4hrs for single cell and double cell respectively.

Manufacturers battery goes for 2hrs 50min to 3hr 00min in practical terms. Double cell lasts for about 5hrs15mins to 5hrs50mins.

In theory it's 4hrs and 8hrs for single cell and double cell respectively.

Replacement batteries aren't fake. These are batteries that are manufactured with a low capacity Li-Ion Cells so that

1. There is an easy replacement for those laptops whose models have been phased out and whose batteries cannot not be found from the manufacturer.

2. Laptops whose batteries cost almost half the price of the laptop. Users of such laptops would rather opt for the replacements as against going for the manufacturers'. Think, why would you buy a PC for NGN40000 and the battery is almost NGN22500? undecided

3. Those who wouldn't mind spending less can still get battery for their laptops with cells that hold power that lasts long enough for a prolonged back-up and shutdown before power goes out- for those who have electricity most of the time.


... Well the issue of fake or original is relative... Usually fakes are overpriced and they underdeliver. Also their lifespan is about half the time the real stuff lives.

... I know your next question >>>buy from a known source <<< besides you're given a max of 2 weeks to run the battery to see if it meets the minimum amount of hours...

*cheers *

Hi.
Diagnosis diagnosis diagnosis.

Somebody (a technician) needs to check what's wrong.

Right now we can only guess a number of possibilities.

Well, the last time I checked, guess work never got the job done...
