First know that this is not officially supported, you will have to install a replacement bios for your chromebook( Basically its a UEFI firmware which is the modem replacement to the traditional bios)this will allow you boot and install windows.

However not all version of chromebook support this so its a 50-50 thing please share your version and spec then we can go from there.

Change motherboard because the processor is bad? Pavilion g6 doesn't use an onboard processor. Moreover if the processor is bad it won't display at all.

Your laptop will likely shutdown if

1. The coolant (paste) has dried up
2. The heat sink is bad
3. Vent and fan is filled with dust
4. Corrupt ME region

Try change the heat sink and see how it goes.
Like how much should i budget for the heat sink

Any one with the solution
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by defemz(m): 7:01pm On May 25, 2019
My HP elitebook 8440p is not easily coming up. Sometime When I press the power button with the laptop plugged in and battery in place it would not respond. Sometimes when I unplug from main, with the battery still in place, battery light flicker for like 4s and then go off afterwards nothing happen. I have had to severally remove both battery and power source and press and hold the power button for 1 minute, after doing this sometimes the laptop will come up other times it won't. The battery still retain a lot of charge, and the power pack don't seem to have problem. The battery charges perfectly even when the laptop is not powering on and windows 7 run smoothly without a glitch anytime the computer turns on. One thing I noticed is that this often take place in the morning after shutting down the system overnight. Once I succeed to put it on in the morning, if I shut it down it most times power up without any stress except on very few instances.The problem is most apparent in the morning after shutting down overnight. Somebody should please help. Thanks

First elongating a charger is not advisable and if you must do it make sure its done properly please go get another charger to see if your charging port and battery are still working as it should be.

If yes you lucky but if not you need to take your system to a technician for further troubleshooting.


Thanks for your reply.
I've tried using a new charger, it still doesn't charge the battery but only indicates charging.

Hello, try another battery in order to be sure that the fault is not from laptop motherboard

My keypad is malfunctioning. If I press "Backspace" or "spacebar" it will show #$ or different alphabet. What could be the reason?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by etech: 12:52pm On May 27, 2019

your keyboard needs to be serviced but if the condition is more than servicing you might need to replace the keyboard.

Kindly see a technician.

Hmmm, you shouldn't have turned the laptop on when the laptop was still wet. Well, just take the laptop to a competent laptop technician for fixing. If you are in Lagos, contact me fixing.

When formatting my system using Windows 8 it reach the second stage for installing programs it stuck at 5% all through without changing what could be the problem.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by etech: 7:35pm On May 28, 2019
If you using installation CD try another one because a corrupt sector of your installation file might make the installation go to a stand still.
