Dear Users,

When asking for support, please mention the laptop make and model number. For example,
Toshiba P300-20H, Windows Vista/Windows 7/Linux/XP. If a dual or triple boot, please specify.
Also try spelling battery and not bat3. These are what I look for. I ignore post sometime if I am
having to waste my time to translate bat3 into battery, because cuz so on and so fourth. Be specific and
go straight to the point


Some would agree that the probability of replies depends on the above.

Very true. I usually don't bother with posts I have to use decoder to understand and it would definitely help to have system details for better troubleshooting.

Maybe we need to restart on a fresh thread and lay down a troubleshooting format.

deji2009:



Given zyzxx previous advice's, please check your laptop memory and
your system rating by clicking start, computer and system properties.

What is the make and model of the laptop? for example
toshiba P300-20H windows 7. if you have an laptop, please
restart and keep pressing f10 for bios. The bios would display a menu, please
use your arrow key to select diagnostics and run me an hard drive short test.

How did you re install windows, e.g. copied windows disc or original windows disk.

hold the windows logo on your keyboard and the letter R and a box should appear.
In the box, please type devmgmt.msc and press enter. In the device maanager, can you
see any exclamation mark/yellow signs

Are you using the laptop on a flat surface not on the bed ?

am using an acer d270 mini laptop. I have opened d device manager, dere is no exclamation mark nor yellow sign. Thanks. The system rating is 3.2

Dear Smudge,

Please click http://www.acer.com.ph/ac/en/PH/content/model/NU.SGASP.004
and tell us if the machine originally came with linux or windows.

Could you please run windows 7 or windows 8 compatibility check to ensure that
your machine is capable of running windows. A netbook that was designed for Linux
would have problems running windows 7 or windows 8. If the manufacturer built
Linux on a machine and it failed windows compatibility check. then stick with linux.

The manufacturer knows why it had linux, i.e. system capability

zyzxx:

zyzxx:

Download hp battery test and make sure your charger is plugged in to source.

Are the keys stuck or wobbling ? How is it not working? Please be specific.

Given all of the problems, you would be better off to take to a
technician.Let us be realistic, the problems are way too much to
fix online. The laptop need to be assess by someone.

For the display issue, take the battery out and the charger and
anything else plugged in.Then hold the laptop power down for 30 seconds
dont let go and try switching it on

LordReed Please I need your help on behalf of someone.
Two of his USB ports are damaged..
How much would it cost to replace them?
And is it possible to replace a USB 2.0 port with a USB 3.0?

It depends on the motherboard, if the ports are soldered on or if they are attached by cable. You can replace the 2.0 ports but The 3.0 ports must be supported by the BIOS. I don't have an idea how much exactly it will cost but he should budget between 5k-10k. Also if it is soldered don't do it unless you know the person is an expert with electrical soldering or else that will be the end of that laptop.

Thanks so much... But that's a whole lot of money..
That dough z enough to change screen or buy hard disk or buy battery sef..
And to think that the dude was even budgeting a sum of 2k for the replacement makes it more overwhelming!!
Nevertheless I would deliver ya msg to him!!

I only put that price because I honestly don't know but I know what expert electrical soldering will demand. He should not be afraid to ask and bargain. Just make sure the person is an expert.
