sameolg616:
ur quote in bold print is quite imcomplete and misleading.before u can copy swsetup folder from a similar system,so many conditions have to be put into consideration:
1.are the both running the same os build...eg,for many reasons,i may have downgraded my dv3 to xp or upgraded to win8..that means if u were to copy my swsetup folder then it would not conform with the hardware archietecture of the other computer..it would always return a hardware error
2..in some cases,some drivers are designed to work only with certain hardwares...eg...a laptop with a nvdia graphics card require nvdia drivers..and not amd catalyst drivers..same goes for wireless adapters..Broadcom vs intel pro
sound---realtek drivers wont work on other hardwares
i totally understand what you mean...but i was not trying to mislead him....lets take an example here, check most HP G62 and see even those runing win7 or 8 the same driver will work for them only think to take note is the board AMD or Intel

If you have tried a working RAM, a working Hard drive, and you know the Screen is perfect, then we are left with few things to try.

First try this reset,
* remove the battery and every other things connected including the adapter
* hold down the power button for atleast 30 seconds, return back battery and try it.

If that fails, may be you can try ro check a working processor on it, if you are savvy enough to remove a processor and fix it perfectly.

If that also fails, you might start s=checking Motherboard

I know other will give you more suggestions as this is just what came to me now.

Dude no need for all d plenty explanation,just ask him to meet a professional(either software or hardware)then he wld get a proper diagnosis.besides,dat ur first trick (hold power buTton for n seconds)doesn't work any more on modern day laptops.describing hardware procedures to non-pros can yeild complicated results.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by successolujimi: 5:07am On Apr 07, 2013
please, i got this hp dv6500 laptop from my Pastor, was slow so i decided to help fix it.used the system restore to restore it to its factory settings then restarted it. it worked fine but now a new problem has developed. the system doesn't come on when i press the power button. did some online research and tried certain ideas i read and now the system does not come up again even when i press the power button. Pls what do i do now?

Maybe you should also know this
I discovered its a general problem with most hp pavillion notebook systems and the only option i have not tried yet is the pull motherboard out and 'heatgun' it. i am worried that might just finish the work and destroy the laptop.
Please every advice is welcomed, thanks in anticipation.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by albacete(m): 7:13am On Apr 07, 2013
mine is what i will call a lil' problem. My 4530s ProBook does not show dat Hp volume info when i adjust d volume. It only shows d one of Windows only which can be accessed via d taskbar.
Secondly, i always get a dialog box about Hp taskbar throwing an exception or not loading an assembly/component whenever i boot my system.
Finally, is it necessary to install Windows updates (close to 900 MB), considering d cost of data i will need for such updates? even my Hp taskbar is not helping matters with periodic updates that increase my data costs.
Update Norton, update Windows, update Hp. @ d end, i will have little data left for browsing.

as for the assembly error,u need to write exact the error code u get on the screen so we can help decode.
2.for updates,its totally safe to disable update then pick only required updates u need when needed.even my antivirus updates is not on auto.I do manuaal updates periodically.I use a combination of sandboxie and kaspersky,so even if its a new intrusion,it will be contained only in d sandboxie and would be deleted d moment I close it

Dear peteregwu],

I was pleased to learn that you have successful restore the laptop by
doing your own research. My colleague sameolg616 took the current action
at the time you asked for support. Giving the numbers of users that
asked us for support within 9ja, it can be hard to tell who is genuine.
Please pardon us, This is Nigeria and we know our people very well.

Here at nairaland computer section, we are friendly and ready to help.
Regarding the language, please take time to do your research on
the internet just like you did for the factory reset.I am sure
sameolg616 would be please to help you in the future with any
other problems.

I would advise that you get a sets of DVDs to create a recovery disc
in case of a hard drive failure, you can use the cd to remaster the system.
Here, where I live to remaster a system I charge a nigerian equivalent 15000 naira
it can save you money and time. if in doubts visit google to research how
to create a recovery dvd on Hp, it would direct you on how to
