Please someone should help me. Since yesterday, if i click on the wireless network icon on my laptop, it doesn't pop up (the way it usually does before, to display various available wireless networks). Does it mean i can't use wireless on my laptop again?

Presently, are u within a wireless coverage, or just that ur system does not display other wireless connection to connect to.

Start by going to the device manger and check if the system detects ur wireless device. If yes, then u r looking at OS problem, try to do a system restore if u have any point. If the answer is No, then then try re-sitting the wireless card and reconnecting the black and white cable appropriately.

Do this and let me know how it goes. On the card part, u may probably want 2 an experienced technician.

What type of desktop are we looking at here.
On board USB ports tends to fail at times, the best bet is to buy a USB PCI card, locate the PCI port on ur Mother board, usually creamy in color, depending on the manufacturer, and install it there, they are plug n play, so u don't need to fiddle with ur BIOS.

You can start by disabling ur touch pad and using a USB mouse to check if the problem will still persist, if it stops, you can as well back up ur data on a external drive if u have any, then do a Factory reset, if the problem still persists, then you are looking at a hardware failure, which might be that ur touch pad needs servicing or replacement.

B4 u do the above, try to download malwarebyte update it and scan ur system before anything else.

It refused to load to windows or took a lot of time to load, if it is the later, try to boot ur system in safe mode, after press windows logo bottom and R together, to bring up the run dialog box, inside the box, type msconfig.exe, a system configuration utility will pop up, locate the startup button and disable all start up item, press Ok and restart ur system, this will decrease the boot time of ur system.

If u have Ccleaner professional or can get a copy, install it and scan ur system for registry errors, and dont forget to scan ur system also for virus, run a disk clean up utility, and uninstall unnecessary programs Hibernating ur system for up to 2wks can be counter productive, am talking out of experience.

Was the laptop on when it fell from ur hand, do you hear cracking noise when u on it later, if u did, then ur hardisk may b affected.

I want 2 believe that the screen is not broken? If not, unplug the power cord, remove the battery, if u can locate The memory compartment at the back of ur laptop, open it with a tiny star screwdriver, remove the memory stick, I would want to believe it dislodged due to the impact, remove it and place it back, if u have an unoccupied memory slot, put the removed memory card there, put back ur battery, and on the laptop.

My suggestions is;

1) Be sure that ur wifi is on. Your pc might have a external switch to turn it on or off

2) If its on, Check device manager to see if the wifi network adapter has any issues. (To get to device manager: Press "windows key+R" to open run. Type "devmgmt.msc" and click enter. Locate the wifi adapter under network. Do two things: check if it indicates a fault or open its properties and ☑ if it is disabled. If it is enable it. If its fault probably missing driver you can click update to download it.

Hope this helps smiley

johnstar: Pls help o, I dnt knw wats wrong wit my pc, my modem network is nt showing on my pc, bt its showing nd connecting in my own broda pc, pls help o

If it works on your broda pc means fault is from urs.

First thing, we need to know if the computer sees the modem at all. Does ur pc indicates that a device was connected? Or does the modem software autoruns?

If any of that doesn't happen then try these:

1) Check and switch usb port to see if the modem works on another port

2) If it doesn't try any other flash drive just to be sure your usb ports are working

3) If they are, goto device manager and check if your network adapter is disabled or fault.

However if ur pc can see the modem, means might be modem software issue or network settings issue.

@ Knights Templer, I appreciate your timely response to my predicament. My wireless is still working because when i went to a cybercafe yesterday i noticed that if i go to settings, the wireless indicator (or icon) there indicated that network is available but when i click on it, no response.Now when i came back to the desktop, the wireless icon on the taskbar was still showing me no available network and also not responding to click as well, so i believe it's an OS problem as U suggested. But my problem with restoring my laptop now is i don't want to lose my installed applications. Please is it possible 4 me to backup the installed applications and restore the laptop?

I think 2 device might be involved here: your screen and hard drive.

So first check for screen.
When you power on d pc does the screen display at all? If it does then problem most likely isn't with your screen. If it doesn't two things could have happen.

1. The cable connected to your screen frm the board might have dislodged. So u hv 2 open and fix it well (my advice get pro help if u hvnt done this b4)

2. Your screen ink box is broken. The soln 2 this one is simple. You get a new screen!

But like I said if isn't your screen and it displays wen u turn on then check ur hard drive.

Does it make any sound? Do you pc lights come on? I think if its ur hard drive the pc should @least display Manufacturers logo and then present an error.

Lastly, memory been dislodged am not so sure. Chances of that happening in a laptop would probably damage ur board itsef.

Sorry. My mistake. You can't backup installed application. You might have to lose them. But any recently create or edited files will remain.

I thkin the first thing to check is if the usb ports are disabled or faulty. Goto device manager and check the properties. If they are faulty probably missing drivers click "update" or goto manufacturers site to download them. If they disbled then enable dem.

Also b4 dis b sure its not the usb drive u r trying 2 connect that is faulty. If all these isn't the case I thk I do go with the advice of getting a new usb adapter.

I don't think Restore affects installed applications. Only any recently created or edited files and folders after the restore point.
its the other way round bro.
