My Toshiba satellite c850 laptop trips off often when it's not connected to power source. I was told it's battery fault, I have changed the battery and the problem still persists. I await your response. Thank you.

Check very well if the battery is compatible with the system

What could cause this ?

My laptop keep showing this whenever I turn it on.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by jaeyking(m): 12:30am On Mar 12, 2023
Good evening

Please is there any solution
Initially I took it for repairs because the system always shuts down from over heating( I guess so cuz the fan would increase rapidly and shutdown)

Since the repair
No after using for sometime My system would just blackout leaving only the backlight on the screen and nothing is showing.

I would have to press the power button for it to turn off
Any solution

It powers on with battery but when connected to power it trips off right?

It could be that charger voltage is getting to the battery terminal,you'll have to take it to a laptop technician for proper diagnosis.

Do you still see the mouse when it blackout? It could be that the HDD is getting bad or the operating system is corrupt due to constantly shutting down by itself ,you can take it to a laptop technician for proper diagnosis.

Can the computer/laptop experts help me out here?

I'm looking to enter UI/UX designing and I need a laptop. For some reasons I want to buy a brand new laptop not a used laptop, and my budget is ₦200k max. However, I don't know jack about laptops and their specs and I'm scared of buying one that won't be able to handle the work and would start lagging and freezing.

So please, I need suggestions from the gurus here

Hello guys.

I have a Unilorin Tab 8 3G tablet ordered specifically by UNILORIN from canada. It was made by mysys epad. I would like anyone to brief me on where I could get the touch screen driver for this windows 10 tablet.

I had to format this tablet PC and after reinstalling the windows 10, I have not been able to get all it's drivers, as I cannot find the manufacturer's website. I have been quite unlucky in my search. Please anyone who can help me, should do with the link. Thanks in advance.

Hi friends.
I need help with my old hp notebook. Whenever I plug it into the main power supply it causes power surge in the house. What could be causing this?
I don't experience this with ac or refrigerator, I wonder why a laptop should cause a surge.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ebab(m): 3:14pm On Mar 12, 2023
Just go for at least 4gig ram, at least corei5 and also a system that comes with SSD.

Lol, really! Why not go straight to jumia na, instead of coming here to ask. Like you said, you don't know much so let people guide you.

Now at that price point of 200k, you'll get a good USED pc that will surprise you. If you can add 30-50k you'll be surprised what you end up with.
I bought a laptop for a friend just this last thursday for 245k; Specs goes thus;

-HP ELITEBOOK X360 1030 G2 (2 in 1)
-Core i5-7300u
-256GB SSD Internal storage
-16 GB Ram (Speed 2133MHz)
-13.3 inches touch screen.

I believe the laptop could be cheaper if I had gotten it from someone like Rakiticbarca, Acekid109 etc.

In all, don't go for a pc with a score that is less than 3500 (the higher the better) on Cpu Benchmark, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD Internal storage etc.
You can explore the AMD processors too. They are a killer pass right now. Happy laptop hunting.

My hp is making a buzzling noise, what is the issue? The noise is audible to the ear, it has been making the noise since I bought it second hand.

Laptop model?
Where's the sound coming from? The speaker area while in use or not(via media player)
Or from the fan Area?

Replace/ service your disk drive.
Servicing(should include cleaning of the entire pc) budget 3-4k
Replacement should be between 2k5-5k depends on your sourcing location
