You are welcome!

OP, I heard the advert on the radio too. But we don't know what laptop make they are intending to sell or whose network the internet service would come from! You know all those hiden info wouldn't be given when making the advert!

Francheezy: g0 4 c0mp sci

You advised the OP to go for computer science, did you take your time to ask OP one or two questions in order to know which one will be best for (base on his/her answer(s) to your question(s))him/her. OP, my advice for you is that you should try to ask people that studied the two courses around you there. Then, make your choice base on the indept info that the two of them would give you. As in, exactly what and what that you are going to be taught if you go for either of the two courses. That's my little cent to you.

OP, you've got problem with your keyboard. I'd advise you to let a nearby professional computer repair person have a closer look at your laptop keyboard to determing whether he can do something to the keyboard for you to make it work or have the keyboard changed for you entirely.

As for me, I visit nairaland any time I want to catch fun. My visit in a day didn't have time.

Mine depends on whether there is NEPA light or not. If there is 24/7 supply of electricity, I do stay in front of my computer from anything 9am -8pm or sometimes 10pm. But just about 5/7 hours each weekend days. My phone takes care of the rest hours unless I fall asleep. But if NEPA light isn't stable, my Nokia C5 would be the only one to suffer throughout those hours that I suppose to spend on my computer. Because of this, if I offer to give my phone out for free, most people would not want to collect it from me. Even before now when my ex girl's phone got missing, I asked her to manage my C5 till the time I would buy new one and give it to here. Trust me, she rejected it because of the look of the phone keypad!

[quote author=finest-dre]@koseeparo,tank u 4 d info.....one more tin,does it posiable 4me 2 do free brosin on it......[/quote]I think so but I don`t have any trick for free browsing for it.

[quote author=finest-dre]@koseepaaro,i'v pc suit on my laptop,i use Nokia 2700c and Airtel.pls what is the setting[/quote]just locate "manual settings" and input the following in the field called "APN" or "Access Point" internet.ng.airtel.com. Do not enter any information in both "User Name" and "Password" fields. Just leave them blank. Connect the PC Suite and you would be connected. Note: the PC Suite that you installed must be a latest tersion, otherwise, you might not be able to connect with it. Good luck to you.

@queenet246, my best advice to you is that you should take your system to a nearby repair person in your area and let them have the problem fixed for you for a token.

olempe: I use Nokia C2 (3G), I have Novia OVI installed. Can it work? If yes, I use MTN, pls what's the settings.

Thanks.

It can work. Just go to manual settings of the OVI Suite that you installed and input only Access Point Name which is web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net, leave other settings blank and try to connect like that. You should be connected now. Note: the OVI that you installed must be a latest version otherwise, when you connect you phone to your system, your phone would just be displaying that "you haven`t sellect USB mode on your phone". Good luck to you.

Abubilal: Koseeparo i stay around yaba. Onike to be precise. How do i meet u. Can u post ur address ?

If you stay in Onike, you are a lucky fellow. I posted my MTN number at the top of this thread. Do you know "Tabade Pharmacy " near "Pako bus Stop" in Akoka? Once you are at "Tabade Pharmacy (in front of it), call my MTN number then I would come out to you, ok?

queenet246: so are u repairing it for me now?

Repair your laptop for you? Believe me, I`ve told you that the problem you are having with your laptop is not what you can fix by yourself. Because I could sense it from your posts that you are not the "wiz" in computer (please, this my statement doesn`t mean that I`m abusing you). Take your system to a nearby computer technician in your area to have it fix for you. But mind you, not that I can`t fix your computer problem for you. Only that I don`t know where you reside. But if you are lucky enough and you reside around Yaba, Lagos State, then, you can tell me here so that I can tell you how you can locate me in Yaba or I drop my mobile number for you here. Then, you have your laptop fix for you under 3 hours while you wait (if you wish to) and collect it.

My dear, please do not complicate the issue of your laptop. Look for a nearby computer repair shop in your area and have them fix the problem for you. Because from your explanation, I don`t think that this your computer problem is what you can fix yourself. That`s the best advice I have for you!

ok

The APN for multilinks is either you use "modem number@bluebroadband.com" or "modem number@multilinks.com". Note that modem number can be found on that your modem or on the receipt multilinks gave you when you buy the modem. Also note that if your modem is a newly bought one, you must go to their nearby office to register the modem, otherwise, the modem wouldn`t connect to the internet. You might be surprise that I gave you two different APNs. The reason is that some of their modem use @bluebroadband.com while some use @multilinks.com. Good luck to you.

But what was the problem with your laptop before you buy the windows xp plate? And what did you do before your laptop displayed "repair"?

queenet246: tanx but is there no other way apart from dis?
my lappy dey give me wahala oooo. hp compaq nc6220

Your lapy is giving you problem? How is it behaving? Is it giving you error message or another thing? But as with the Nokia Suite I mentioned above, if you can`t get it, I think I can give you OVI Suite provided you can download it yourself if I upload it to a free file sharing site. But only if you reside close to Yaba, Lagos, then, you can come and collect it on a CD for free.

queenet246: pls help me on how to browse with my laptop using my fone. the fone is asha 200.
needed urgently

Though I`ve only browse using asha 200 by using the phone to access the net direct. Now, if you intend to use your asha phone to access the internet by connecting it to your lapy, here is what you will need to do: (1)get a nokia USB cable, (2) get nokia PC Suite or nokia OVI Suite [but I would prefer you get "OVI Suite" instead of PC Suite]. Here is the little thing you need to do to allow you start using your phone to browse with your lapy:

(1) install the nokia OVI Suite or nokia PC Suite on your lapy (do not connect your phone to your lapy yet).

(2)after you finish installing the suite on your lapy and you are sure that the software has been installed successfully by seeing this message on your lapy`s screen "Nokia PC Suite or OVI Suite has been successfully installed on your computer" (depends on the one you installed, whether PC Suite or OVI Suite), now connect your phone to the system using USB Cable.

(3)the last thing you will then need to do is to set the network settings in the nokia suite you just installed to make you start browsing.

Note: to set these setting, you will have to post it here the network you are using with your asha phone then I can post the settings here for you. I would be expecting your reply on the network you have in your asha phone.

To add to what folafola has said, when you use free version of an antivirus, there are some features of that antivirus that you wouldn`t be able to use but when you now buy the license key for the antivirus, all the features of that antivirus would now be available for you to enjoy. Including option for you to update the antivirus once you are connected to the internet (in order for your antivirus to be able to detect latest virus codes) which most free versions of antivirus might not give you opportunity of.

Yeah! But it depends on the person that train you (if the person have the knowledge of both).

mohzzan: @ koseeparol. thanks for the help i will like to have your number thanks

Here it is 07031012161

Egbeda? But I would have love to train you on computer engineer (hardware and software) assuming you live close to Yaba because my workshot is in Yaba. But now that you said you lives in Egbeda, I just don`t know, considering the distance between Egbeda and Yaba!

@poster, where in Lagos do you live?

What aspect of computer engineering do you want to learn? Is it hardware, software, or networking engineering? Moreover, where do you stay (in order to know if I can help you on this)?

Alright! Thank you all for your contributions. But I`m happy to tell you that she phoned me early this morning to inform me that she wouldn`t be able to make it today that she was planning to stay in the town with me for a week but the key to their room (the room she jointly rented with a friend of hers) was with her friend because her friend is still sleeping there that her friend told her that she forgot to keep the key down for her. That she can come and meet her in another state she travelled to (and her friend will be staying there for a week before she comes back) to collect the key, as my girlfriend will like to stay there for that one week she wants to spend in the state with me and moreover, she would need to pick some things in the room when travelling back to her state. She then told me that she can`t travel to that state to collect the key from her friend because her cell phone was faulty that she always put her SIM card in someone`s cell phone (her neighbour). That she can`t be making phone calls from one business centre to another. Though, I was a little bit angry initially, but later reasoned with her. But we haven`t talked on the day she would then come later. I only told her that there is no problem that we shall talk later. And when she phoned me in the afternoon, we didn`t talk about her not coming of a thing at all. We just talked about another thing entirely and say "bye", then ended our conversation for the day.

sunnshyn: Eeyah! Its your sincerity I admire!!

I hope she enjoys her stay when she eventually visits!

Bless you bro!

Amen my sister

Alright, once again, I say thank you all. I`ve made enquiry on the available hotels in my area and I was told by a friend to one of my brother friend of mine told me to come and meet him anytime tomorrow that he will take me to the hotel he do lodge in, that I can even get a room of N3,500 for N3,000 mean that he is a regular customer in that hotel. That two of us shall go together when I want to go and pay that he would tell the attendant that I`m his brother. So, I think that`s the update that I have for now.

ijigbamigb: Gud.
Immediately she lands. Don't pretend. Let her know u have 7k budgeted. Since she know u r very gud financially yet, she will understand. Give here 3500 immediately she arrives to cover her transport expenses. Get a hotel for 2k on saturday, organize dinner for her from you brother's house. Since she's going on sunday, she will check out by 12, then use to balance to give her a nice treat with fried rice with beef o (not chicken), salad and a drink. Barely 800. Naira.
Then u r OK

Alright! Though I`ve been looking around to get the prices of available hotel in my area. Thank you all for your kind advice. I shall be updating you as things onfold later. Once again, than you all, may God help you too in any area you might be having challenge(s) in your lives.

Thank you, thank you very much indeed, all advice noted! But one more thing: what do you suggest I should do when I take her to a hotek just to sleep there overnight and she says I shouldn`t lodge her in any hotel that she will be comfortable sleeping in our house, even if she have to sleep on the mat, that she wouldn`t mind? The lady is the type that always tell me that I like to waste money each time I buy anything that is a little bit expensive for her that instead of me wasting my money on that thing that I should have given her the money that I used to buy that thing for her. Or I should have phoned her to tell her that I want to buy such a thing for her. Should I still tell her that she shouldn`t worry that she should let us go that I want comfort for her? What would you advise me to do at that point? To answer one of the questions that you guys are asking me, my brother was the one that told me to bring her down to his place to come and sleep overnight when I raised alarm to him that I don`t know where she would sleep because I`m quite sure that she can`t go back to their town on that same Saturday. And see, this lady didn`t tell me that she would like to meet both my mum and my siblings when she comes until yesteqday evening when a message enter into my phone and I opened up the message and read this meeting my mum and my siblings issue of a thing. But to be honest with you, house, I`ve got only 7k from which I planned to use in preparing food for her and give the remaining one to her as her fare (though her fare from their town to my place is just N1,600, making it roughly about N3,500 to and fro including fare on bike). That`s the plain truth, house! Now tell me, how can I achieve all these with the 7k that I have?

kunlery911: @poster
dont mind does ppl joor dont bring her to hotel that doesn't sound good.if a girl love u she wouldnt even mind sleeping on the floor with u plus she knows u dont have ur own apartment yet plus she knows thats ur bro house so its not big deal trust me real girls like when a guy can come out just they way they her not trying to impress her by lodging her in a hotel dont sound good to me

Thank you for all the responses. Trust me, I`m totally confused now! Maybe I need to come out a bit. This my girlfriend that I`m talking about has lived in the state with me for 11 months while she came to serve because she is a graduate. And we met and started dating during that her service days. Though then, herself and a friend of her jointly rented a room apartment where they were living then (about an hour journey to my place of resident) before she travelled back to their town after service because she`s yet to secure a job plus when she thinks about the challenges of how to live alone while she`s yet to start working and the room they rented then would expire early next year 2013. But a question now is "can`t I host her in my brother`s piace from Saturday to Sunday since I don`t have a personal apartment now until December this year execept I lodge her in a hotel"? But must we always do what is beyond our capacity just because we want to satisfy our girlfriend? Note: this my girlfriemd and I had already said it that in order not to feel the distance between us that much that when I travel to her town (5 hours journey) this month end, then, she will come down to the state to come and pay me a visit the next month end. Then, we shall continue to rotate the travelling like that till both of us are now ready to live together as husband and wife (i.e, after our wedding).

[quote author=Mynd_44]Put her in an hotel[/quote]Thank you for giving me your opinion on this. But how would you feel if I tell you that I`m not a hotel person? Personally, what I thought was that if I let her know my level that I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth as I`ve been telling her since early stage of our relationship then it won`t make her to be having mixed feelings about me in one way or the other. I thought doing that to her would make her confirm what I have been telling her that I`m still a struggling man for now. Though, I`m not a lazy man as she has seen it herself (I`m a computer technician managing his own repair shop. But I`m yet to "eat it big" in the field).
