Use the following guidelines to help you in
buying a used laptop.
1)Go to system properties and check for the
model of the system, processor type and speed
as well as if the operating system is activated.
Also check for the size of the RAM in this menu.
The larger the RAM size, the better for your
computer and more expensive the laptop will be.
In making your choice, run from AMD laptops
most especially because it is a used one.
2)Open notepad and press every key on the
keyboard for efficiency, accuracy and response.
watch out for keys that respond multiple times
when pressed once as well as those that dont
respond once.
3) Test the sound of the laptop if it is audible.
Also watch out for faulty/damaged speakers that
makes unpleasant noise when playing music.
Use an ear piece to test if the audio jack is
working. Also test all the USB ports of the laptop
if they recognize external devices such as
phones.
4) Insert a memory card reader into its slot and
check if it is working.
5) while doing all the above, use your palm or
its back to feel round the body of the laptop for
temperature. Observe if any area is abnormally
hot. if it is, drop it.
6) Test the DVD/CD ROM with a disc if if it is
working. play both an audio and a DVD (if the
laptop has that spec) disc on it. Ensure it is
working and not making unnecessary noise like
a car with a faulty gear.
7)check device manager to ensure all hardware
components are driven.
8 ) connect the laptop to wifi or portable hotspot
to ensure the network adapter is working.
9) test the camera (if it has) and see if it is
working.
10) Now check the size of the hard drive. The
larger the size of the hard drive, the more the
files it can store for you. if you intend using the
laptop to do heavy downloads of movies, then
go for 320gb or higher hard drive size. Also,
sufficient space on your hard drive in addition to
a good RAM size helps your laptop run
smoothly.
11) Check if the battery life is good. Go for
atleast two hours hours battery back up. Plug in
the charger and move your mouse pointer over
the battery icon on the screen. Observe if you
can see 'plugged in,charging' . if true, then note
the percentage of the battery. now continue
watching and observe that the battery is
increasing. let it increase like 5 percent.
12|)if the laptop has Bluetooth, check if it is
working.
13) check for any physical damage on the body
of the laptop. move the hinges to and fro and
see if the display of the screen shakes in
response. if you notice any shaking, then the
laptop has issues.
if all these are ok and the laptop meets your
budget, go for it

Sir, if I power my laptop, after a little time it will hang to the extent that every thing will be still I can even move my pointers , for it to be normal again,i had to shut it down using the power button and power it again. So any time I want to use my laptop I power it, shut it down using the power button and power it again.

press CTRL+ ALT+ NUM keys to reset the keyboard. if it doesn't work see an engineer who will help you remove the keyboard and troubleshoot if you will change the keyboard or not.

Thanks much. With your knowledge, between a HP laptop with 2.1Ghz, 500GB ROM and 4GB RAM and a Dell product with 3.2Ghz processor, 320Gb ROM and 4Gb RAM, which is preferable ?

The Dell is preferable as it has a higher processor speed. you can always upgrade the hard drive from 320gb to 500gb if you wish

you are missing something. When it gets to the restart point, remove or eject either the windows CD or flash drive you are using to load it. this will make the system load from your internal hard drive and complete the loading process.

I have a Neat Dell latitude D510 for sale and a faulty Macbook for sale . contact me if you are interested pearlbim@gmail.com

This means the laptop doesnt power with battery anymore. To confirm this, remove the charger and power it with only the battery, it wont switch on.
This is a motherboard error. Take it to the nearest engineer or if you are in Lagos and need someone to resolve it, you can contact me on 08164685979.
