Update the wireless driver of the laptop from device manager. Dont download using google.

Activate your windows 7 by getting an activation CD from those guys selling softwares. Its cheap and simple to use.
ok, thanks

@ozimec....i saw this question you posted " bought a lenovo thinkpad laptop from my boss
.but the system is passworded and she told me
that she couldn't remember the password again
because it's been over a year she used the system
last. Pls how do I gain access into the system?."

Remove the charger and battery from system. Press and hold down the power button for 20-30 seconds.
Plug in charger and run it to windows. Let's see what happens.[/quote]



Hi, i am experiencing almost the same booting problem.
Mine started with hanging after my brother backed up his phone memory in my system. The screen locked and when i tried to key in the password, the mouse pointer was​ moving but could not select anything. I force shut it down and powered it again after few seconds. The power light were showing but the system was not booting and the lights stayed on for as long as i left it on and did not sleep.


I have applied what I adviced above but when i plug on the charger without the battery, i don't see any light and it doesn't come on

I advise seeing a technician for proper troubleshooting.

When you say not coming up, do you mean it switches on but doesnt display on the screen? or it doesnt switch on at all?

what is the brand and model of your laptop?

is your laptop AMD or Intel?

Unfortunately , it maybe the battery . The charger may also be responsible. So you are gonna need to test another battery and charger to know where the issue is. if you test with a good charger and battery and the problem remains, then the next possible culprit is the motherboard

try uninstalling your WiFi adapter.
My PC - system information - device manager. Uninstall the WiFi and reboot!
If it still persists, check whether there's a new update for the adapter.
Cheers!

my guess
It's either the WiFi adapter(hardware) is bad or it's a software issue.

Thanks for your concern they actually tried using a 4GB RAM but it didn't work I have spent 25k trying to fix it but to no avail rather they keep formatting and I keep paying to re-install all the apps and windows and antivirus. I have given it out not to bother about it anymore.

Hello guys,

My HP Notebook Pro laptop shuts down on it's own. Me and my friends have done some troubleshooting, the hard disk is okay, likewise is the RAM. The battery charges well too and the laptop is not overheating as the fan is working well. The error that prompts from the event manager is Kernel-Processor-Power failure, I think the laptop is losing power.

Has anyone experienced such before and how did you go about it.

Please guys I need your help.

I think trying another processor on your motherboard is worth trying .

That should be the last resort if everything else fails. But i recommend changing the processor first

It is most likely the lens is weak if it seems to be spinning but not reading the disc. You will most likely need to replace with a working dvd ROM.
