call me 07909309108 make sure you add UK dialing code as am not inanigeria

Hackomania: The hard disk is either faulty (does your harddisk make creaking noises when you boot up?), or it doesn't make adequate contact with the harddisk connector. You can also try the suggestion by deji

Would be better if he mentioned laptop make and model.

Could it be hard disk failure is imminent toshiba laptops

or HP compaq range

bodeface: Thanks for your reply.
Pls do you mean that I should check the device manager and check for the VGA driver?
Pls I do understand what you mean sir, I will appreciate if you could explain to NE further.
Thanking you.

Thats what he meant. In addition to that when you right click see if there's any
yellow sign code 10 or similar. after that we need to test the graphics card

click start, run type n dxdiag click yes to continue go to display and make sure
you have direct x and also enabaled. if not I may be able to offer you a remote support
here from the UK. if you struggle to follow the insturction

Computer problem is the process of eliminating one thing from the other.
Open the notepad on another computer and this would reveal the culprit.

ATX Reset

ATX reset, Basically
this just resets the power supply in your computer and
in most cases can solve some power issues.

How to perform an ATX reset:

Disconnect the power from your computer.
If possible remove the battery and external devices.
Hold the power button for about 15 seconds
Put the battery back in the computer
Reconnect the power
Press the power button to turn on your computer

If no joy and you have NEPA light repeat it these steps and
connect charger only no battery then test

If this does not solve the power issue it may be the hardware
its self which is faulty and will need repairing or replacing.

5 download the video grapgics driver

Olisa74: Before you panic, first take a look in your System Profiler to see if the USB ports are showing up

If no joy visit apple website for FAQ's

primeson1: @adetwin,@deji2009, av done it and it worked oooo.....thanks so much. I can now browse with no hitch. I think d problem began wen my system booted and it says checking one NSTC file and it took lon bfor d windows start-up screen came up. After dat it wiped off all my applications, anti-virus, bluetooh,tera copy, itunes,sound driver,useb driver,etc. And am still unable to use my bluetooth now cos wen i wnt to use it, it says one file is missing. I have d setup file of dd bluetooth on d system anyway, so i tried to open it again and it says "setupdiu.exe" file is missing. Pls kindly be of my help guys.

The Bluetooth setup is corrupt and unreadable
by the computer. uninstall it from cotrol panel
just liek you did to your dongle and redownload
the software from the bluetooth manufacturer website
and test it. I had a feeling you're using toshiba
and you have the bluetoothstack installed as this is
common on toshiba

MacT: Hp Probook 4530s laptop refuses to come on. When I plug the charger, the power indicator light just keeps flashing white and orange continually..same thing happens both when the battery is fixed or removed.
As well, when the battery is fixed but the laptop is not plugged, same thing-it still does not come on but the light keeps flashing....is there anyone who can proffer a solution??!! Thanks, guys....

Make sure there's NEPA Light or Generator (if you choose to)

Follow instructions and be patient.

Remove the battery, other peripherals and the AC adapter...
press and hold down very hard the power button for 30 seconds...
plug the AC adapter only and turn on the notebook....

Make sure there's NEPA light when you connect the charger
dont put battery. when it turn on shutdown and remove charger
inser battery then insert charger and use as normal

you may get a message that the battery may need replacing
or the adaptor is unknown as this is common on some hp and dell
laptop

primeson1: Hello gurus,
am using toshiba c660 laptop. I cant connect to the internet again using universal modem, i dnt knw d ip and dns address for tcp/ipv4 and tcp/ipv6 of airtel dat am using. I mistakenly click obtain ip address automatically, but wen i wnt to return to manual configurations, i forgot d addresses dat were der bfor. Pls help me out cos av searched online bt to no avail. Thanks

primeson1: Make una help me nw, plsssssssssssss.

You have a usb modem , right ?

To simplify it

You should uninstall the
airtel usb modem software
from control panel and
insert the usb modem to
your laptop usb port it should
automatically install the drivers
again just like MTN does. if you have a
cd for it install it rather

if you are not sure how to uninstall a programme
use google to find out

I cant understand why you would be changing from auto to manual.
when your laptop is seto to something leave it like that.
if you are technically gifted you can do all these and fix it yourself

ebila: Sorry to say this,but that's an ignorant answer.You can recover files from a formatted harddrive using some specialized software,e.g Recuva.Recovery,however,might not be 100%,but you can recover up to 70-80%.I do it a lot.

You are 100% correct.

otumfour: specs:.......

processor - 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

memory - 4 GB

btw......I have installed it successfully....so easy like ABC

ATX Reset
If you have had any issues with you computer and phoned the help line number one
of the common things they will ask you to do is an ATX reset,
Basically this just resets the power supply in your computer
and in most cases can solve some power issues.

How to perform an ATX reset:

Disconnect the power from your computer.
If possible remove the battery and external devices.
Hold the power button for about 15 seconds
Reconnect the power
Press the power button to turn on your computer

then shutdown and put battery then star again to start
using windows normally

If this does not solve the power issue it may be the hardware its self
which is faulty and will need repairing or replacing.

ignis: I plugged the laptop, shut down and pressd d start botton. While starting I repeatedly pressed the f10 botton as u said, but nothing appeared. I mean the BIOS set up did not appear.

ontinuous press on F10 for 30 secs
then let go aftterwards

If no joy try F2 as as well

It must enter the bios

if not because of the
bad people on NL would
have given my number to
call but cant do that.
This is nairaland anything can happen
the closest i can do is if you have skype
add this id dejisunday can then talk to you
