in some laptops,a single switch or combination of keys(fn+f2) would turn both the wifi and the bluetooth on..
if that fails then your wireless/bluetooth driver is not installed or missing..
goto control panel,device drivers and check if there is a yellow mark on any of the drivers(do a snapshot and post here so we can assess it)
warning!its possible you wont find any yellow warning indicators on any of the drivers.....what that means is that the drivers have been installed properly but not the recommended drivers for that particular model...a similar example is cited when u install windows7-10 freshly on a system,it appears like everything has been installed properly using the embedded drivers in the installation when in truth you have to manually installed the right drivers later
thank you very much I am grateful sir. the fn+f2 did the magic.

Please how can I get installation software for ati radeon HD 5650? I upgraded through windows but it's now showing AMD 5000 series in display adapter but if I go to screen resolution, advanced setting it will display intel as my graphic driver. If I try to open any of my games, it tells me my video card is below spec. I did driver rollback and it now shows my atI 5650 hd both in display driver and advance settings. My games now open but runs slowly. My problem now is I don't have access to catalyst control center where I can enhance game settings, when I open it it says no amd driver found or not properly installed. Dunno if I can get a catalyst control center that is ati and not AMD. My laptop is HP dv6 core i3

atimes when you use some components especially ones with capacitors over time on electricity(gen/nepa)-low or high current tend to make them wear out gradually till they finally die..we are even fond of always leaving them in the socket even after charging....
here are 2simple tests u can conduct to be sure of the problem:
1.create another user profile-if you dont want to format your system just yet then you can goto control panel,user account and create a new administrator profile
-restart the system
-login using the new profile then observe if problem persists
this test eliminates the need for a another charger..all you simply have todo is just reformat or refressh your system
2..find another charger to test the system with the exact power ratings recommended for the system..if the problem stops then u can conclude on getting a new charger..
besides,you pple never provide all the details needed in assessing the problem correctly...snap and send the power rating on the charger and under the laptop
number 1 worked, thankl you very much sir, I truly appreciate.

thank God...for the critics,i havent asked anyone to call me neither av i asked for credit as some accused...
these are very serious procedures made look easy(i had these issue years ago but i was adamant i wont reformat the system led to th solution)....and i normally make so much money from it..
we are all here to learn no matter ow small the info....and istill just normal we debate or criticize each other.
here are some of my arguments:
-i never really encourage DIY as a certain amout of skill is required to follow a simple post
-i dont always encourage reformatting a system;it shd be a last resort..if i had asked him to format it,then the knowledge of option 1 would never have existed or made available..i always believe there must always be another way..
-im a professional and pros get paid especially in more severe issues...I NEVER PRETEND TO BE A MAN OF THE PEOPLE BUT FOR THE PEOPLE

thats quite strange!your system maybe infected or a program is program is obstructing it!
the only reason you can open it safe mode is that only a few drivers are loaded..
possible solutions:
1.uninstall the ms office completely then re-install
solution2..scan your system with a strong antivirus
solution 3.download "combofix" from bleepingcomputer.com
-place it on your desktop
-restart your system in safe mode
-run the software from your desktop
-enjoy the magic(it would remove any abnormalities from your computer..(if your system is infected,the antivirus is already impotent but the combofix is a very potent standalone when executed in safe mode

I use a Lenovo Laptop. It comes with an OCZ vertex 450 sata III SSD 128 GB. Everything was fine till i had to forcefully restart my pc. Now the pc doesn't boot any longer. The PC does not detect the SSD as a drive. I swapped it for another hard disk and it boots fine.

I really have some files on this SSD that I really need to salvage.

I've also tried leaving it alone for day without the battery connected to it still it doesn't show as a device .

thank you

(1)Turn on the discoverable option, if you haven't already done.
(2)Check device manager for bluetooth missing drivers
(3)Update bluetooth drivers or log unto www.slimdrivers.com and update all missing drivers.

here is the trick....uninstall the present driver.....
re-install the windows 7 driver for the bluetooth and click on its properties then click on compactibility mode for windows 7
but wait...i tink hp 15 should have a windows 10
check the hp website and be sure to download 32bit or 64bit according to the os version u use..
warning!on the site u may find different bluetooth versions like broadcom,intel,,,,,
download one at a time so u know which works

as for the ads,u need an adblocker which would be installed as an addon into your browser..
for me,i use ublock origin..its the best tested adblocker around...trust me,u wont need to worry abt them anymore..
i dont know which browser u use...but you can google the name for ur browesr eg i use mozilla,so i'd google ublock origin for firefox..
as for your system running slow,many factors may be responsible:
1..low memory..if you use 1-2gig the the more pages u open,the more memory would be used..
2..invalid entries..alot of people think only viruses may systems unstable,slow or corrupt..wrong!invalid entries are entries "orphaned"on your system as a result of entries,data,temp files leftover from uninstalltion,registry files etc...its always advisable to run a registry cleaner atleast on a 2-3day basis so your system can breathe well...alot of people use ccleaner but i have never tried it before besides,free version softwares have limitations and may not be able to achieve desired reuts..i use uniblue registry booster(runs automatically sowhen it finds,it alerts me)+pc reviver..these 2 form the best alliance
3..browsers:different browser have different capabilities as with regards to its usuage in memory:
-internet explorer:if you do more of internet banking or need more security,this is the best browser cuz its secure but too heavy in the memory,sluggish and old skool
-firefox mozilla:its the most moderate browser to use...it may be less secure,not so fast,not slow and if u can exploit it for "reprogramming" purposes..usuage in the memory is ok..
-google chrome-claims to be the fastest but in inject aleast 5 modules into your ram(u can check the processes in task manager)..in some cases,it even makes the system unstable..i hope this is not your choice
the we have the newest microsoft edge(no addons or plugins)..it was built to rival the chrome and only present on windows 10,,seems fast but unconventional(for me) so i cant say much about it..
4..antivirus:alot of people just use antivirus without knowing its features,operations,size in memory,tolerance,potency...i would onl discuss abt 2;kaspersky and avast and use it to draw comparisons for your understanding
KASPERSKY..i have been using it for over 8yrs now...there are 2 versions:KAV/KIS..i use kav cuz its lighter in memory,very potent and has good tolerance for even "false positives"...kis is technical,it you dont set the parameters well then ur like to experience the kinda problems you are facing expecially when using the internet
AVAST..its a heavy,no nonsense AV that leaves nothing to chance....once if flags a file as a threat,its directive is to destroy so even when a system file is infected,e no send....it must delete-leaves nothing to chance then your system becomes unstable thereby forcing prob no2(invalid entries) ie when the system is looking for the file to load,it becomes unavailable and its start cycling .
another main problem is that its default setting is to scan a file upon execution ie anytime,u are opening any file,it must scan if first (this is the main reason a lot of people have complained in the past that their system crashed(its arguable not a proven fact)but its a liable cause...
5....startup programs/services loaded into the memoty....when u have a lot of application running on startup then a larger portion of the memory is used up even before u start opening your applications..
6..malware..when ur system becomes infected,its operations may have been compromised..infact,from your complaint(the ad popping up)...u may have been hit by an ADWARE causing it to pop up or redirect u to the authors site..u may have hit a banner with a fancy header saying "wizkid beats linda ikeji)...whick u click on it then ur sysetm becomes infected(clickjacking)...a strong av is always recommemnded..i use KAV2016+malwarebytes(premium version)+malwarebytes anti-ransomware+exploit...thats like fbi+opc+cia protecting my system(sorry i forgot to mention lagos metro police.. grin grin grin ;Dwetin them wan catch,make them just they support)
goodnight..feeling sleepy!

its really hard to tell from just the small data you provided but lets try..
1...after uninstallation, get a registry cleaner like ccleaner to remove all leftovers(invalid entries) from the system since you said you have un-installed severally..
2..restart the system
3..unplug the usb cable from the system and install the driver first on the system..
4. plug the usb cable now and allow the system detect and install it..
5..open the devices and printer page...right click on the desired printer...."make it the default printer"
that should do it
