folyrel: Thanks, I went to a Technician who had another similar detached connector from an hp charger with the same voltage. He just cut the connector of my charger and attached his own connector to it. Can that fry my motherboard?

The technician is incompetent

omega25red: you should buy a new charger because cutting the wire and patching to another charger might fry your mother board because of an electrical surge.

omega25red, your advice make my day

Temistatics 007: what i'm trying to say is that i gave them the whole system,the accesories such as external bluetooth and battery was given back to me immediately,so i'm not sure of a mix up,i've charged the system,discharged it,and then charged it again,but it's still working for just an hour instead of the usual 3hrs

illustrate: If you, on a regular basis, fully charge your
battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge,
eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50%
capacity which has remained unused. The battery will remain functional,
but only at 50% of its original capacity.

.Use another charger to test

omega25red: what was your reason for formatting the drive? and did you change anything?
Also what was the previous operating system on the computer? and how old is the computer? how much memory do you have on it? because i had not seen this issue before but after reading a bit online i read that your BIOS might be outdated meaning you would need to flash your BIOS with the latest version that goes to your computer' make and model.

The question about memory is important because im assuming you are trying to install windows 7 and if your computer doesn't meet the basic hardware requirements it might not install.

This questions are vital ,please answer them

esorison: Please, i'm using dell latitude 600 and windows xp professional sp2 and my system do re-start itself and when it reboots it pop up a message sayin windows just recovered from a serious error. Please what should i do?

.Let it restart pressing F8 key
.you'd see windows advance boot option
.select disable automatic restart on system failure
.let it restart again or do it manually
.Any blue screen error message for example 0x0000

Instructions


If no blue screen restart again f8 select
last known good configuration press enter
and see what happens

If still no joy or no blue screen or any progress
make sure charger is plug in so we can find out if
this a hardware or software problem

restart pressing f2 or delete for bios setup
when in bios leave it there for an hour and see if the
laptop would restart, if doesn't is a software problem
if does restart in Bios is a hardware problem i.e.
overheating fan cpu or defective memory.

Last resort is to reinstall windows but not at this
stage until we're fully satisfy

OmokayZ: Pls my compaq 615 running on vista shows "Plugged in,not charging" its fails to run on battery,wat shud i do

go to google and search for hp batery test
dont wory hp and compaq are the
same company. make sure your
charger is connected before the test.
This will test your battery and charger.

omega25red: so HP actually did not release a windows 7 driver for this model of computer but usually the vista driver would work with the computer. You can try to download it from here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3658348#N552

good luck

Good idea omega25red but not really advisable as the user may
be greeted with a bsod screen better to buy an external wireless
adaptor for your windows 7. what do you reckon ?

Raxxye: Thanks,man, and sorry for getiing back to u this late. I‘ve tried what u suggested, but it‘s still not working. My system is HP625 OS is WINDOWS7.

all4naija: Try to uninstall and reinstall the modem. Also, don't forget to check if it is recharged(which I think should be the reason why you are getting that error message).

.Is this MTN or Zain ?

Having followed my colleague advice I suggest
that you test the dongle on another computer,
this way you'd be able to tell if is your
computer at fault. remember to add credit/top up
to your dongle

A khan: please gurus in the house, i bought esetnod32 antivirus for 3 users but could not activate the key to get the username and password, please can someone help with this problem

.Was internet active during activation ?
.Do you have overall control of the computer ?

windows 7 is on the manufacturer website if it is
good if is not roll it back to vista .
as a general rule always check manufacturer
website to make sure they have your operating system driver, if
they dont then dont do it.

or use windows 7 upgrade adviser to determine
if you can install an operating system

Please follow this rules. Always check the back of your laptop for full model number
and complete your spelling so is not misleading. this are some of the reason I or other
technician would ignore your post. Just to let you know that's all.

.click it and conitnue
.look for network adaptor
.any yellow signs in device manager

Good lick sir/Madam

all4naija:
I don't think your system is death. What I think happened is your registry is totally corrupted. If you can get into your BIOS setup then your system is still alive. From your explanation there had been a malware attack on your computer which ruin the registry.

Now, remove your battery and charger. Depress the power button holding it down for about 10 seconds or more and reconnect your charger or battery and power up your computer. If you couldn't succeed in getting to your[b] safe mode[/b] this time around try to do new installation without partitioning or formatting your hard to save your files in your previous Windows. After successful installation try to get your important files save to you hard disk you would create with your Disk manager or simply save them to a removable storage. When you are through with that next is try to do a proper Windows installation.

I hope that would be helpful.

Nice one all4naija
atx reset (battery out)  should
fix it or your other advice
