I posted here 2-3 weeks ago about my new laptop keyboard having issue, no one has been able to direct me in the right part here. Is the thread dead already?

I am seriously looking for this keyboard. Is it possible to get it? If you have any sure place to get this let me know.

Model: Dell 7400 2 in 1 convertible. This is different from the normal non convertible Dell 7400 (2nd pic). Please, kindly take note of the two keyboard.

What I am looking for is pic 1.
We need a detailed specification of the keyboard model number. Get the details online. Alternatively, you can take it to a Computer Engr to disassemble the keyboard and order same for replacement.

Kindly specify your location let’s know Engr’s on this Thread that can assist.

Is it possible to install this primary batterry on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480?
Yes it is possible. The laptop comes with two different batteries. From the screenshot; it shows that Battery 1 is not present so go ahead and replace it for more backup time.

windows can't be installed on partition, if I delete the partition My windows instalation file will go away,so how will I now install winding
It is possible the HDD is bad and need to be replaced so put another HDD in the PC and try reinstalling Windows.

Alternatively, remove the HDD and use external hard drive reader to format it. Then put it back to the PC and try to reinstall the OS.

You were not specific on the error you encountered. Try and delete the partition and click New to create another one. If it fails then replace the HDD and retry.

My system shows this blue screen and I can't do anything. What could cause this pls?
So many things can cause it including multiple press of power button when system hibernate or put to sleep. Press and hold the power button to force shutdown and power it on again. All startup to repair and if it fails click to continue Windows 10 or 11.

I have done all this. I also tried powering on without the battery by removing it. Still showing no signs of life. When I plug in the charger, it's not even showing charging light.
It is either faulty motherboard or BIOS

I have an hp probook laptop that was left abandoned for about 6 months. Prior to then, it was working fine. No issues..

Now after abandoning for 6 months (I travelled) . The laptop won't power on. Also, it does not indicate that it's even charging (charging light is not showing). Basically, the laptop is dead and needs to be woken up.

What could the issue be and what can I do?

Thanks in anticipation.
If the battery is inbuilt, kindly open the back cover and remove the battery. Then plug the laptop and power it ON without the battery.

If it is not inbuilt remove the battery and follow the above procedure

Gooday guys
I don't know but my laptop mouse keeps left clicking on its own.. what could be the possible cause of this?
Debris inside the left click touchpad maybe the reason for continuous clicking. I suggest you shutdown and clean the holes with brush then clean the touchpad with spirit.

My new elite book 840 G3 of 8/256GB SSD
says my computer only has 4GB ram when I go to my computer about
Did you take it for a repair recently? Do you have someone around that knows how to remove the back cover? Did you check to confirm the system configuration before leaving the dealer shop? These and more are the questions you should ask yourself before drawing conclusion.

I suggest you remove the back cover and check the RAM in the both slots, if they use 4GB in each or only 8GB in one slot. Removing the cover will help you know if it was removed or not inserted properly.

Thanks.

Well it can be 500GB or 512GB SSD.

There's 128GB SSD which is very common and there's 120GB SSD too.
Ok thanks

How is it misleading? You people will just keep embarrassing yourselves in a bid to prove that you know. I know you want to say it’s supposed to be 479GB or so but listen that's due to the partitions. It's still 500gb. Same way a 1TB storage will show 9 hundred and something but will you still call it a 9 hundred and something storage? No. Its still 1tb
No you got me wrong. SSD usually comes with 128| 256 | 512 etc while HDD 250 | 320 | 500 etc so I was wondering if it was a typographical error.

After installation and not partition, system takes some space leaving only 465GB for a 500GB HDD and 476GB for a 512GB SSD.

I am not here to compete with knowledge but rather to learn, share and provide technical assistance.

Thanks.

Try the following

1. Go to Manage Wireless Networks then select your WiFi name and click forget
2. Go to the list of Wireless Networks to reconnect making sure you enter the correct password
3. Go to Change Adapter Setting and when the list of adapters appear, select WLAN adapter, right click and click properties then scroll to select IPV4 among the options and click details/properties. If there is any static IP address on the adapter, select automatic.

Point 3 maybe the cause of the issue you are facing so be sure there is no static IP that is not same class with your router.

Please, is it advisable to buy a 4gig ram computer and upgrade to 8gig?
Depending on your budget, you can buy it and upgrade it to 8GB and also replace the HDD to Sata SSD for optimal performance.

If it has 2 slots, you will buy 4GB and add to the existing 4GB to make it 8GB but if it is only one slot you will need to buy 8GB and remove the existing 4GB RAM.

Penboy:
Greetings guys.

Please the "A" button on my laptop stopped working.

How do I replace it with a another button, so that when I press it, "A" shows up?

HP-Windows 10
If I understand you clearly, the A button no longer works and you want to replace it with a button that is not mostly used on the keyboard. If that is the case, I do not think there’s a possibility though you can add some keyboard layouts and configure which is a bit complicated. I suggest you make use of virtual keyboard under Accessibility option and save up to replace the keyboard.

For further assistance, you need to be specific on your location. Meanwhile, the issue is either motherboard failure or BIOS. Whichever maybe the case there’s need for a proper troubleshooting on the laptop.

Please help me, my laptop always hang when in use, and my friend suggested I format it and since then the system always shut down, even the hard drive is booting up the laptop unless I change the drive,if I on it and leave it some minutes it will shut down by itself.please help.
It is possible your fan is bad and requires replacement. Hence, you need to take it to an IT Engr. for further troubleshooting and fix. Kindly specify your location to know if there’s any tech guy in this section that can assist in servicing or replacement of your fan. Avoid using the laptop till it’s fixed to avert damaging your processor or HDD.
