I've tried everything, and all seems working.

The charger is still working fine. Showing its normal green light when full and orange light when charging.
Hard disk and ram are working too.
I'm at the motherboard. I don't know how to diagnose that.

I've opened it.
Be careful while you are in there
Make sure the laptop isn't plugged while its open , you could fry the Motherboard(MoBo)
While you are in there, make sure you don't just touch any of the circuits with bare hands, you could also fry the MoBo with static electricity
Before you touch anything, if you can remove the battery, disconnect the battery and drain all residual power in the PC, by pressing the power button down for about 30 seconds after removing the battery.

Now that we have all that out of the way ....
How are you sure the ram and hard disk are working ?

Remove the hard disk, remove the RAM, hold the power button again for 30 seconds, be careful ooo, so you don't scatter everything cheesy cheesy , take pictures as you are removing stuff and label the screws with a paper, if they are not all the same size.

Now place one by one, starting with the RAM, there isn't really a way you can test the RAM in this case without testing it in another PC, same for the hard disk .

Now place the ram back, don't plug the battery in yet, connect the charger and try booting.....
If it comes on, shut down
Place the hard disk, and start alone with the charger again, don't plug the battery yet

If it boots up fine .....
Shut down again
If it doesn't the hard disk is faulty

If it does boot up
This time , place the battery in , and boot with only the battery, without the charger.
If it doesn't boot up, the battery might be faulty and giving excess charge or less or excess than required voltage to the motherboard


If none of these works, the motherboard might be gone, but try testing the ram and harddisk in another PC, before concluding the motherboard is bad.


The way the system went off, it looks like a power surge issue, this steps can help, if the MOBO isnt damaged

I was charging and using it. I wasn't using any app.

Then I hibernated it and went out to get something. Then I came back (NEPA took of light) removed the charger then put it on.

It came on for like 2 to 3 secs then went off abruptly
There are many possible issues.
Is the charger still giving off charge ?
It could also be a hardware failure, hardisk, ram , or even worse the motherboard(but I don't think it is the motherboard, but I could be wrong)
Can you open it ?
ComputersRe: Glo Night Plan Subscribers Abeg Fall In by Donald3d(m): 5:04pm On Apr 20, 2020
jmaxjohn:
For people who use Glo night plan, 1gb for n100, how many times in one night can you subscribe?

Is there any network you can sub multiple times on their night plan?
I have once done glo 1gb Night sub, I think between 4-7 times at a go, so I had between 4-7gb before starting,I needed to download a heavy file..So you can do it as many times as you want .

To make it faster subscribing , load all the airtime you want to use to subscribe , go to h s i . g l o . c o m , there is a button to activate a 3gb/4g plan , click on NIGHT_100 as many times as you want .
Good luck
ProgrammingRe: Need Help Starting A Loan App by Donald3d(m): 4:59pm On Apr 20, 2020
Balaking:
Hi peeps! I have been working on a loan app for a while and I want to to be able to retrieve my money from a user's bank account automatically on his/her due date. so instead of sending harsh messages to a user's contact i can simply withdraw my full money from the person's account or withdraw bit by bit until the money is complete. Of course a user will have to agree to these terms before collecting the loan and will be notified immediately the money is withdrawn.
Need answers please is this possible.
Its quite easy, all you need to do is use Paystack subscription API
If you can't handle it, I can help.

Hello guys.

I have a Macbook Pro late 2011.
I was using it and it came off itself, and when I put it on back, it does not come on.
Details:
Apple logo light does not come on.
Keyboard light does not come on
It does not make any sound (the usual chime sound anytime it is switched on)
Fan is rolling
USB port can charge phones

I've tried everything I can by checking of its the RAM, SSD, but no solution.
I've also tried the solutions online, resetting NVRAM, SMC, etc, but none is working.

Who is a Macbook expert that can help me with what to do if it's something I can do at home or who knows an engineer?

My location is Ogun/Lagos.
Have you resolved the issue ?

WebmastersRe: How Much Does It Cost To Get A Full Functional Android App by Donald3d(m): 6:22pm On Apr 11, 2020
The cost is dependent on the features needed , it can range anywhere from 400k to 1.5 Million or even more, depending on the features.
App development is more complex than people think it is, a back end/API also has to be built.
So what features do you need, send me a message .

EducationRe: Lagos Pegs Entry Age Into JSS1 At 12 Years by Donald3d(m): 11:44am On Apr 07, 2020
sowilli:
grooming goes with age. No matter how much you force a 7 year old. He might not be able to wash his clothes clean himself. Understanding times in life is very important.
This is not true, I can speak for myself and so many other children I have seen.
Go to villages and see little children doing wonders, I didn't even grow up in the village.
I started washing around that same 7 years, even though I started with smaller clothes and accessories like handkerchief .
I cooked my first meal at 10, even though it wasn't good enough, I improved.
I was groomed to know what to do and how to do it early enough, its not rushing a child, its training.
Children give out what you put into them.
10 is a fair age to start Js1
EducationRe: Lagos Pegs Entry Age Into JSS1 At 12 Years by Donald3d(m): 11:39am On Apr 07, 2020
DJperdurabo:
Grooming that child has to take his/her cognitive skills into consideration. It can't be done in isolation and said cognitive skills is a function of age.
Cognitive skills can be sharpened . Besides these days there is very little difference between the cognitive skills of a 10 year old and a 12 year old.
10 is very fair for Js1 .

There are 15 year old children that are smarter, more organized than some 20 year olds.

Especially with the way our country is messed up. Two years is a huge loss..
That means the child would graduate at 18 yrs .....Possible hustle for admission for 2 years.... It would take another 4-7 years to graduate depending on the course, 1 year service ....The child would be 30 by the time he is ready for job hunting .... Most companies these days want to employ 25 -27 year olds.

If a country that is more organized with smooth education and admission system proposes this, it would make more sense.
In Nigeria, its very hard to plan your future, except you have rich parents.

10 is a very fair age.
There should be more focus on parenting, I see too many bad parents these days.
EducationRe: Lagos Pegs Entry Age Into JSS1 At 12 Years by Donald3d(m): 11:02am On Apr 07, 2020
This honestly makes no sense at all.
If you don't groom a child well in all facets of life, no matter how old they are they would misbehave

Men have accepted their wives and live babies, YES.

However, it is insensitive to say she is selfish because she doesn't want to accept her husband's love child when she is desperately trying to have hers.

Thank you so much for this counsel. Kai accepting the child is so difficult for me. Thinking of him, her and the child gets me really upset. But you have spoken well and thank you again.
Its normal for the acceptance to be difficult, its ok to be upset, you would be upset for some time .
But, as I always tell people, before any decision is taken, lay out all your cards, ask yourself what is truly important to you and what your priority is, it would make your decision easier.

It may seem like medicine after death, both you and your husband also have some ironing out to do, he also needs to restructure his mind, and ask himself what is really important to him, so there won't be a recurrent cheating scenario.

You both need to sit and really talk, ask him questions, you both need to pour out your hearts(in a non violent manner), trust me you would both feel relieved after, then discuss the way forward and most importantly where his loyalty and heart lies.

You would be fine.

Thank you for this. I feel the same way.The child is not part of my plan and I really don't see him as my responsibility but solely his and I don't think I can give my consent to that.
This may sound selfish, but what if it was your child ?
As long as you choose to keep the marriage, the child would always be part of almost every decision .
It may sound harsh, but the earlier you accept what is going on the better.

I am really worried about your mental state, in all of this.
You need to ensure you have peace of mind, and not worry yourself .
Reality sometimes is hard to accept, but this is the reality.

FamilyRe: Indecisive And Unhappy. Advice Pla by Donald3d(m):
This is sad cry
There isn't any excuse for cheating, because if the tables were turned, it wouldn't be accepted.
The deed is done, what's the way forward.

1. Acceptance :

You really have to accept what has happened deep down in your heart, its ok to feel sad, its ok and normal to feel betrayed, its ok to cry.
But, you have to accept what has happened has happened, nothing would change that.
The child is here, he needs to be responsible and look after the child.
Forgive him as well from the depth of your heart, I know its hard, but you need to bring yourself, not to hold it against him anymore.
Please accept the child.

2. Confirmation:

Your husband needs to confirm the child is his, investment in a child (emotionally and financially), isn't an easy task, it would be very heart breaking if he later finds out the child isn't his, after all the investments..Young ladies these days can be desperate and can go great lengths to use other people for their gains.A DNA test needs to be done.

3. Move Forward :

Since we have accepted the point above as a fact, and its confirmed that the baby is his, you need to move forward and not weigh yourself down .
Allow him take care of the child, think about the child and not the two adults who decided to engage in copulation.
The child is innocent in all of this, and needs to be take care of. Please let him, take care of the child, from a distance.

4. Prevent a Recurrence :

If he is given too much freedom to see the child's mother, be rest assured that there is a possibility of him cheating again, even against his own will.
Suggest a full adoption procedure, this prevents him from constantly having to see the child's mother, it may seem selfish to her, but you also have to protect your home.
Either way, and whatever is decided on, he needs to maintain as much distance as possible from her. They should never meet in private spaces, you could also tag along if he has to see the child, it may seem like being clingy, but it isn't.

5. Keep Praying & Seeking Medical Help :

Inability to conceive can be a mentally and emotionally challenging situation. I encourage you not to lose hope, keep praying, keep seeking medical solutions as well.
This isn't a time to be down, this is a time to put on your full armor, protect your home, protect your mind, ensure you give yourself peace.
Your worries could even prevent you from conceiving, conception can be a very complicated process that can be influenced by a wide array of external and internal factors.
God hasn't forsaken you, He wouldn't , stick with Him

I'm praying for you.

FamilyRe: In Marriage - Friendship Or Love by Donald3d(m): 2:05pm On Apr 04, 2020
keepingmum:
Been married for 16yrs plus and can tell you this, love will fade at some point in marriage.......beauty and looks aint skin deep, they are superficial and WILL fade.. my FIL is as white as an albino but hubby is dark skinned and i am light skinned but NOT fair....both my kids took my FIL's skin colour ie hubby's recessive genes.......you may marry a fair skinned girl whom pregnancy hormones messes up with and she goes dark during preg and never returns to her birth colour yet ur kids end up with your colour......will you then dump her and your kids because they dont have your "preferred skin
colour"...

.friendship is what will keep your marriage through those tough times because believe me as a spouse, u ll offend your spouse so much that they might resent you....but then because they miss their "friend" they reconcile and forgive you.

I think the bigger question here is do you know what friendship is
Exactly !
Thank you for this ma'am
OP

Get a book and pen, write out a list of all what you want in a wife .
If she ticks at least 70- 80 % of what you wrote, please marry her.

BUT, if you know within your heart that you wouldn't stay faithful to her just because she isn't light skinned, please let her be.

We humans sometimes don't really understand what love really is, it's not always the tingling sensation...Most times it stems from real and true friendship.

As you grow older, you would understand that some things are going to fade away, they won't matter any more, they are temporary.

What permanent features does she have ?

I don't mean to sound harsh or disrespectful and I understand everyone has preferences, but if you still think in this manner, I am sorry sir, you aren't ready for marriage. You didn't say she isn't good looking, the problem is her skin colour.

Trust me, I know some light skinned girls that are not "marriageable".

When you get married all these things gradually wouldn't matter anymore...

My wife is light skinned, brown "cat eyes" , she is breathtaking to look at. I didn't marry her for all these. It just happened that she had these features.

I am not saying I don't notice her beauty, but as we grow together, her selflessness, her dedication, her submissiveness, her love and care for me, makes me more attracted to her, that I barely notice her face sometimes, the beauty of her actions have overtaken her physical beauty. She gives me peace, peace !. She is my best friend, as you call it my paddy paddy.

Your number one priority should be peace of mind, then every other thing can follow.
Without peace of mind, you can't function properly as a human, nothing else would make sense.

I pray you see things and God gives you foresight to deeply understand what marriage entails and what lies ahead of you.
