Good day everybody here, pls I am trouble right now because my laptop where I saved all my office documents to do at home is not booting in again and I must submit one of the documents to my boss on Friday morning. Anytime I switch on the system the system will just restart again,i am using HP 4515s laptop, pls any solution

If the harddisk is not the problem, then do thus:

- Remove the harddisk from the laptop (unscrew the laptop).
- Use external harddisk casing to access the harddisk.
- Collect the files needed....fix back your harddisk in your laptop....repair when you feel like.

NB:
If you follow these instructions, you do so at your own risk; if you have no experience in handling computer hardware, you should consult any geek or laptop repairer....but it's a simple process.

Thank you, I have removed the hard disk and I gave the system to Engineer this morning and the engineer said the motherboard(amd board that it is unrepairable) is the problem. He said that I have to change the board for 20k but he will help me to heat it for 3k before I get money for the board or new system,i just want to ask if I should let him hear it or buy board or I should get another system

First, I'm a software engineer, I'm not very proficient in hardware problems.

You said you needed to access a particular document from a laptop that won't boot up, I told you how to go about that.

Second, I can't really say much about the system because I can't physically access it to check it's current state. But if you trust the engineer, then tell him to go ahead with the heating. If it comes up, pay him. Manage the system for now while gathering money for another one....because if you change the motherboard, you're bound to have comparability problem(s) (both software and hardware) in the long run. The motherboard is the laptop.

I'll advise you to invest in Dell business class laptop (Latitude series), that's what I use. They're like the Range Rovers of laptops. Most people don't like them because they're bulky, but fancy over practicality is not for me.

It can be repaired but most engineers don't have bga rework Station to replace bga chip like the graphic chip on your motherboard so the best suggestion is to get another motherboard.

If it is going to be first time of heating it then tell him to do it cos it will last you for like 3-5 months depending on how you use your laptop till you have the money to replace it.

Don't place it on your bed, couch or rug so it won't block the air vent but if the graphic chip have been heated for more than 4 times, I'll suggest you get another motherboard.

The first step to fix charging issues is confirming with another battery and charger.

If you still have the same problem then fault is from motherboard.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by juzo98(m): 5:37am On Mar 09, 2019
Hello engineers in the house, please i have a problems handling windows update for a windows 10 pro version 1511 pc.

Microsoft recently released an update last month and my pc is set to automatically download the update.

I've tried every possible means to stop the update but it won't work. Here's where it gets worse, whenever I turn on my Hotspot to browse, the update starts by itself and it won't go beyond a certain level no matter how long i leave my pc turned on and this causes my pc to run into problems whenever I reboot. I'd have to do a system restore after every failed update attempt. This has made me unable to use my pc to browse. Please can you proffer a solution to the problem...... Thank you.

There are some external hard drive that can be used as internal hard drive. But, you have to disassemble your external hard drive before you can know whether it is possible or not.

If the connector are the same and your laptop can take in both slim or normal size hdd, no problem.


You also have to confirm if your hdd is working well and can be use as internal hdd because not all external hdd can work as internal.
Check the HDD health to be sure, if it is 100% then you're good to go.

One of the capacitors in the adapter is bad. You can get a new adapter to fix this. Ensure it is not those Chinese knockoffs.

Your system would be worse for it.
