agonbello: Good morning fellows.

Please kindly assist regarding my laptop computer (Samsung Mini).

The mouse pad has bn behaving funny for some days now. It tends to stop working or tends to be freezing whenever I plug in a charger, and returns to a normal working condition if I unplug the charger.

Thanks for you precious comments.

I have seen this happen several times. Stop using that charger. Go get yourself a charger compatible with your laptop (check voltage and current specifications). Make sure the charger doesn't hang your mouse before paying for it.

Use Google to find out
how you can get to device manager

then look for "universal host controller
then click the + , which should turn into a -sign
then uninstall everything under universal controller
only. remove all usb devices such as printer, usb stick
then restart the laptop. then wait for it to install
everything. make sure you wait ! then test it with a
working usb stick, it should detect it. does this happen
when is on charger or battery

Hello peeps
I have a 500GB hard disk that I shrinked in order
to create a different space apart from my C:/ drive
on which the OS is installed .
There has however been errors related to operating
system and disk which requires that I should
delete the partition I earlier created. Please if I
delete the partition, is it going to add up to my
previous 500gb or what is my fate? Thanks

Plug the DVD machine to another computer with functional usb ports to confirm if the machine is working properly. Furthermore, connect functional usb devices to your mini laptop to check the workability of the usb ports. This will help you know where the problem is.

You may also consider the conversation between @deji2009 and @Inufele1 just above.

Eh, there're many ways around this. You can hack it if you can get a good engineer around you and you have ownership proof. Simple way with anyone available however is to simply install another OS and retrieve your original files using admin mode.
Many thanks, i have ownership proof.

1) What is you system configuration or specifications?

2) Check your 'device management' for 'Hardware ID' under 'Properties' of your 'network controller' and post the string here.

HPs normally have a switch for wireless devices, is yours turned on?
