You are very sure the battery has been changed ? if that the case, I will suggest you swap test the laptop with a different charger and see what happens.

Could be the charger, since battery has been changed. if no joy then on the HP 530 Vista Basic I think you have. Click start and 2 centimetres below

you will seeĀ  a white box that says start search type in there battery utility or typed battery and pay attention to what you have on the list.

There should be a battery utility check. or go to www2.hp.com/techcenter/battery/battery_ts.htm">http://h20239.www2.hp.com/techcenter/battery/battery_ts.htm and follow all instructions

Regarding your DVD drive press down windows logo+ E on your keyboard and see if you have the cd/dvd drive listed. also check device status

in device manager if need help in getting to device manager use google search. if not detected in COMPUTER/MY COMPUTER then follow this

fix. note: This is for advanced users so be careful when making changes .

follow Busayo's advice. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=348228.0

Good luck and thanks for enquiring

Hi Deji,

Thanks for your advice. But I had to buy
another flash because I needed one
urgently.

However, I will still try out your suggestions
when I'm less busy because I need the
information in the previous flash disc

Once again, thanks and I'll get back to you
later.

Please help me out. My laptop screen shakes and quivers so much, it's extremely difficult to capture what's on the screen. I'm using one hand to hold the back as I type this to provide some stability. This started three days ago with a number of vertical lines appearing across the screen at the slightest shake.

And it's a fairly new laptop (HP Pavillion 6730). I bought it brand new early this year.

@deji2009, i have a dell p3xp 256ram.i had bought it fairly used.bluetooth is listed among is listed among the installed devices.am not sure its activated,if not how. Also,my mouse keeps moving across the screen uncontrolably and will end up sticking to the corners.when connected to the mains the led light is not stable it blinks and i cannot tell when charge is complete, the only way is to turn it on and point to battery icon to get the level of charge if 100% which the indicator put to about 3hrs,it does not last more than an hour before it discharges when its being run on battery,sometimes pointing at the battery icon would drop remaining power down significantly.i downloaded a power optimizer but save it only as i have to b sure of what it does.avast anti-virus is installed in it when it caught raila odinga virus which led to it reformating earlier.pls i need help, i hope i have not asked for too much.thanks, i hope to get your reply soon.

I detected W/32/HLLP.Philis.ini, Sal.Folder.Variant Trojan and Smart Antivirus 2010 adware on my lappie using mwav.Unfortunately,i don't have the full version to enable me delete these worms.They've messed up my Avast Pro 4.8.1356 and Malwarebytes which do not work most of the time.Even when my updated Avast locates them and i try to delete or move to chest,the antivirus on-access protection automatically gets deactivated.
I tried installin' Trojan Remover 6.83 but the bloody thing prevents it from full installation.
Way forward?

Basically when you boot up, you were always ask to select either XP or Vista ? is a know issue (Boot ini) and Advanced configuration in

system mainteance. to make life easier for yourself here is a link http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_5022431_cancel-dual-boot.html?cr=1

This will get rid of your secondary partition and leave primary partition which is your main choice XP. Good luck and thanks for enquring

Is the fan noisy or overheating, has it been for its yearly healthcheck ?

Pop in to your local PC store and ask for Compress air which is like a can point the nozzle towards your fan air vent to clean dust which may

have accumulated hence better performance . Please do not use a Vacumm cleaner or any other as this can cause static electricity which can killĀ  an

component on your laptop/PC. Good luck and thanks for enquring

By the looks of it seems you have 1 or more security software installed hence the deactivation.

Try safe mode if no joy bring up RUN> type in MRT and press enter follow on screen instruction

as have once used this to remove win32/sys virus files. Good luck and thanks for enquiring

Blutooth issue. can we know make and model please as I wont able to tell on top of my head

for best answers use google to check it out if not. bring up Run ?type in devmgmt.msc

press enter and look for bluetooth or there shouuld be a switch on your laptop/PC

Mouse issue>Make sure your palm>hand is not mistakenly resting on the touchpad as this

can cause it to move. also go to contro panel >hardware and sound>Mouse check to make sure

all settings are correct e.g. pointer precision unticked or best do this trust me should work

you may need external mouse to complete the installation just thought of that all this while

http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers and follow on screen instructions

is this a wireless or wired mouse ? if no joy after you installed the above

Then do system restore to turn back the hand of time need helping doing this access google
