I take it to be a laptop or a PC ?
restart and immediately keep
pressing f2 for bios you'd see a
blue screen. Can you see different
colours on the bios screen. The colours
you were referring to, can you see it on
that blue screen. another way is to connect the
laptop to an external monitor. unsure how to connect
it to a monitor, google it. have installed any video drivers recently
and when did you start noticing the coloours

you could shut it down and restart and see if that solve the problem

You mean to say touchpad. However,try to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version(make sure you download your specs BIOS firmware from your computer maker website and follow instruction accordingly). If after that you didn't succeed in finding solution, it is time to take your system to a technical personnel or send it to your customer care center .

At the meantime you can visit this Site for more help.

Please guru, help me with this probs. My sistem is corrupt, i try to repair it using bootable CD but its prompting me to enter admin password which i can't remember.

indoorlove: Please guru, help me with this probs. My sistem is corrupt, i try to repair it using bootable CD but its prompting me to enter admin password which i can't remember.

How is the system corrupt, i.e. virus or error messages ?

Is it Win 7 or 8. Have you enter the password you or anyone
use to log in to the computer ? there different types of
bootbale cd, e.g. system repair disk that you created or
an origian operating system disk or hiren boot disk to mention a few.

What make is the computer ? e.g. toshiba p300-20h my personal favourite
having served me for 4 years and still running. Lol cheesy

Have you try using f8 on startup without the disk ? try it !
you may be ask for password as well, but worth trying.
then select repair my computer then start up repair

If it is error message you are getting you could use f8
and select command prompt then type in chkdsk

Pls follow all instructions

Given all4naija previous advice, please state
the make and model. for example Dell 1535 Windows Vista.

Diagnose 1

Try with or without the charger and let us know what happened.

Diagnose 2

Restart laptop and immediately keep pressing f8
select safe mode. you'd notice the screen will turn
big, its normal. once in safe mode and you can see your
icons, observe the touchpad. any difference in safe mode ?

pls check no dirts on the touchpad and is your charger china ?

if all fails go to control panel then mouse and pointing options
check the settings play around with it increase and decrease and
notice what happened on restart keep trying it then restart. if no joy
go to control panel add remove programme look for synaptic s on the list, is it
there ?

Yes.

Would cost you 13k for the screen and 5k for the casing . However. You can only replace the back cover and not the hood.

@ onegig and All4naija

Thanks.

I've been able to recover my files in my bad Ext HD and all of 'em were undamaged. It was oyb's post in page 114 of the Ubuntu Linux thread that pointed me in the right direction. All it took was a professional recovery Software. . .Runtime GetDataBack.

This software BAAAD. As in, I hadn't deep scanned more than 10% when it detected all my files (813GB worth of stuff) in the 1TB Ext HD. It was going to take 11hrs to finish scanning but I stopped it @ 10% to test if it would recover the files successfully and it did. Also, All the files were undamaged and usable. I even installed the Windows 8.1 Pro WMC OS ISO and many other softwares I recovered from the HD and they all worked perfectly. ALL THIS AT JUST 10% shocked

Thanks once again.

I thinnk its more like a hardware issue. If its a desktop try get another keyboard to test it but if its a laptop I guess you might need to replace it. @onegig am I right??
