PhonesRe: Pc Tips: How To Repair Spoilt Laptop Keyboard by computerboy: 12:22pm On Dec 11, 2016
Kizyte:
Bros, I'm a Computer Engineer, the keyboard is a replaceable part and can't be fixed with the above mentioned method. Simply replace your Laptop Keyboard.
I'm about to say the same thing. The truth about computer repairs is that it's not actually repairing but replacing.

Bro, i'm novice when it comes to such aspect of operating system sad, if you can provide me with some guilds, will be highly appreciated

And those this also mean that after the repair i gotta buy an antivirus for such not to repeat itself huh
It's not necessarily caused by a virus. There are other ways it can happen. Since you're a novice I'll advise you get a professional to do it for you. It won't take more than 30 minutes

Toshiba 5.0.. Pics below...
It will be better if you could install windows 8.1 or 10. You'll enjoy your system more but in case you want to continue using your windows 7, do this to reset your re-arm limits

1. press Windows button + R to open "RUN"
2. Now type: regedit.exe
3. Follow through this path now:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software ->
Microsoft -> WindowsNT -> Current version -> SoftwareProtectionPlatform .
4. Now, look for SkipRearm and click on modify, then change it’s value data from 0 to 1.
5. Restart your computer now then put the command I gave earlier. It should work

That's a lame answer to his question..if u attempted to solve the issue before and it's still still..logically,u shd re assess the situation to find out why/come up wit a solution..that's ow to learn/be the best..
Moreso,don't misinform the public abt windows 7 almost outdated..windows 10 is the newly improved windows 7 with windows 8 infused into it..i.e after win 10,u AV win 7 not even win8...
Older systems wld still support the win7 better..modern day apps/laptops are made in 64bits to support gaming and newer hardwares
Please I don't know you. Say what you want to say but don't quote me next time if you can't make a simple statement without insults.
ComputersRe: My Laptop Is Not Detecting Phones, Help. by computerboy: 6:29pm On Dec 08, 2016
Explorers:
Its just 5 months old, the problem started about two weeks ago, ive searched the internet, read a lot, tried suggestions, done the developer's option, debugging, uninstalled&reinstalled usb controllers, connected lots of phones but no way.


When i touch PTP, it will work. Only MTP that's causing issue.




Help!

Thanks
From all you've said it's not from your phone neither is the usb port faulty.

Suspects
1. Usb cable (some only charges phone but can transfer files so try changing cable)
2. Drivers (This rarely happen if you're on windows 8 and above though)
3. Maybe it's already showing but you're just waiting for it to prompt the usual pop up (Just Plug your phone and open file manager, scroll down and check under media cos It won't appear under removable drives)

If all fail then seek professional help. Stuffs like this are easier if the system is present

Why not upgrade to windows 8.1 or 10 then use an activator to activate your windows. Windows 7 is almost outdated
ComputersRe: Intel Vs. AMD: Which Brand Of CPU Should You Choose When Buying A PC? by computerboy: 4:39pm On Dec 07, 2016
udemzy101:
yeah... lately AMD laptops are becoming expensive, when I saw the new price list of AMD laptops I was like :O

Anyway I still prefer Intel any time any day
Same here oh. I'm still surprised on how they pulled it off. Some A8 & A10 CPUs are even costlier than Intel core i7 depending on laptop models
ComputersRe: Intel Vs. AMD: Which Brand Of CPU Should You Choose When Buying A PC? by computerboy: 4:31pm On Dec 07, 2016
udemzy101:
Intel any day any time...


AMD is a good CPU but it seems it's not build for our kind of country except if you drive a car with AC, and your office and house have AC...


AMD laptop tend to develop vga problem on the long run anyway this can also apply to Intel laptops too.

the likes of dell D620,hp 6930p ,HP 620 etc comes in two types, those with double vga and single.

those with double vga (Intel) will develop vga prob too.


nice post op
With the introduction of AMD A series (A4, A6, A8 & A10), a lot of those things have changed. Infact AMD have improved greatly. We should stop judging them with their earlier CPUs. AMD used to have VGA issues cos of the amount of heat it generates and also runs battery quickly cos of same reason except you use cooling pad.

But all those are past tense. My HP 15 with AMD A4 is even cooler than Intel after playing heavy games. As a matter of fact Not even a single heat generated (thanks to HP cool sense technology).

No doubt they handle graphics demanding apps and produce better frame rates than Intel (excluding ones with dedicated graphics)

Also there's the introduction of turbo core by AMD which works like Intel's turbo boost and boost processor speed depending on task

If you check prices of the AMD A series, you'll see they're more or less same as the Intel counterparts unlike before when AMD is significantly cheaper. That shows they're already giving Intel a run for their money

Based on my personal experience, I'll always recommend an AMD A series CPU for someone who wants a purely gaming/graphics laptop. It's more affordable than buying Intel CPU with dedicated graphics.

FashionRe: Lady Gets Jungle Justice After Boyfriend Took Her To Salon And Ran Away (Pics) by computerboy:
contactmorak:
This crying lady allegedly attempted to get her hair done from a Salon but ended up getting a hair cut instead. When she couldn't pay.

She allegedly went to the salon with her boyfriend who promised to pay but ran away when she was getting her hair done. When the guy failed to show up, she wanted to escape and her plot to escape was foiled. The weave was cut by the hairdresser identified as Pamela.


http://www.newseveryhour.com/2016/12/lady-whose-boyfriend-disappeared-when.html
You guys don't get it. I believe the emboldened is the reason they gave her the jungle justice. She should have reasoned with them instead of trying to escape. It spoke very low of her and showed she's a broke girl both in cash and in bank cos she could have gone to withdraw and pay them.
PoliticsRe: Chinedu Nebo: Nigeria Is Angry With Igbos' Growth, Development by computerboy:
EternalBeing:
Anyone that's annoyed at the progress of others cannot progress. It's not a curse, u cannot develop an habit/achievement u hate to see in others. I used to call all Millionaires thieves, the more passionate hatred for the wealthy grew, the more my poverty increased. Till I read Think and Grow Rich, and The Millionaires Mindset and I saw my wrong midset. Now, I'm a Millionaire to GOD's Glory. It's not a mistake and not by Chance. Go into trading, buying and selling; it's the easiest way to become a Millionaire
You might have just said it casually but in that your last statement which I emboldened, lies the secret many graduates and civil servants have been seeking but they just see it as a dirty job. I'm an evidence.

I bought the windows10 software last week and it successfully install. However I couldn't download some updates during the installation, and now am getting notifications that my some of my apps are outdated. The system shuts down anytime its on sleep mode,the battery drains fast too. any solution? I tried reinstalling the software again but I got a message saying if I reinstall the software, I won't be able to go back to windows8.
What's your system specs? What build of Windows 10 did you buy?
After installation, did you make sure to install ALL drivers in device manager? especially the display driver. This should fix the sleep mode ish

Reinstalling won't fix anything. Go to windows store and update your apps. It couldn't download during installation cos you don't have a strong network

Also running windows update is always advised after upgrading to windows 10

@ computerboy
What could be the problem?
Uninstall all Antivirus and make sure nothing is connected to the laptop except charger and try again or
Google the error code and see if you can know know the actual cause

If all fail, use the Iso to create a bootable usb drive and upgrade through BIOS.

P.S: Clean install would have been best but with the apps installed, I see it's not an option
