Pls I want to get a UK used laptop, how do I check for the specs of the system (about phone in the case of phone), and what are other things to check out for in the system to be sure am not buying a fake laptop. I will appreciate your response |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by sotall(m): 6:54am On Jan 21, 2017 |
LudaChriz: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 4 Likes 2 Shares |

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. |

Good day bro, got this Acer brand laptop, the both shift keys aren't working. Anything I could do about this? Thanks |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by sotall(m): 3:14pm On Jan 30, 2017 |
forandy: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. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by forandy(m): 6:02pm On Jan 30, 2017 |
sotall: 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 ? |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by sotall(m): 7:10pm On Jan 30, 2017 |
forandy: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 |

pls sir, I'm using dell latitude D610, I dey use xp on the lappy before it corrupt then I load window 7 to it when I dey load am e dey load but it will get to a stage that it will say system needs to restart then after restarting by itself it will take me back to load the window from the start again... what can I do ? |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by sotall(m): 2:43pm On Feb 03, 2017 |
Adicsonbaba: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. |

Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by sotall(m): 11:20pm On Feb 08, 2017 |
brisstone: 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. |
