You in IB? I have the same Laptop with the same problem. Reply me if you are within IB.

I tried visiting the site, but its taking forever to load. And its not my internet, just in case you wan blame something.

What I think we really need is a "used" (or "fairly used", which ever is the correct name for it) market, where the sellers are not traders in used items, but are the actual users of the items they want to sell. We used to have such a site before. Who remembers Stable? or OLX? OLX was, i think, purchased by "jiji". And "Jiji" got over-run by greedy, profit-thirsty middlemen, whose sole purpose is to resell used items at the price even higher than new sef. Thieves.

My suggestion is this, even if you sell new stuff, create a section for used items/electronics with sellers (who are the owners and users of the items they want to sell - NOT middlemen who will inflate the price) of used items. Why is this important? Affordability. Middlemen will sell at a high premium price, whereas most owner/user just want to dispose the item at price that depends on how nice you are to them

Thank you for your input. At this point I'm confused.

I read somewhere that ddr3 and ddr3l are same.

But I've ordered for another pc3l .

If it works, then the old RAM was defective. If it doesn't, your laptop cannot use DDR3L RAM, only DDR3. To be very certain go to the laptop maker site and read the spec sheet of that laptop.

DDR3L and DDR3 RAM modules are similar because both uses the same slot type, and probably the same speeds. Only difference is in power draw or voltage. And, some systems can use both effectively because they have built in mechanisms to determine and provide the appropriate voltage needed for the particular RAM module installed. For example HP 4430s uses both. But most Ultra light laptops like the Dell 7420 only uses DDR3L.

By the way what is the make and model of the laptop in question?

parkervero:
I currently have a 4gb RAM stick ( DDR3L 1600MHz PC3L-12800S SO-DIMM) but each time I turn on my laptop it will show that its up but won't display anything. When I remove the RAM the laptop comes up easily.

So, I want to replace it with 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz PC3L-12800S SO-DIMM.

Can I get it?

How much is it?

There's nothing wrong with the RAM. Your laptop is not made to use it. You see that L, after the DDR3? It stands for "Low powered", or something like that. It's usually used in Ultra light laptops. It uses very low power to run the RAM. Your system probably uses the "normal" high powered one (just DDR3). So, when you start the laptop, the system sends a current that is normal to the system but higher for the DDR3L RAM. The RAM sees the power sent as too high and tries to save itself by blocking it and not allowing access. Without access to the RAM the system cannot display anything. Hence the blank screen you see.
When buying another check that it is suitable for your particular system.

or I may be wrong and the RAM is defective.

I am even thinking of taking it to an Engineer where I got it from they are telling me story probably I will need to take it so they could help me flash it maybe it will work properly

It will never work as intended 100%. For example, you will not be able to use samsung Secure Folder, Samsung Wallet, and other apps that require a secure environment to operate. This is because there is a security feature in most, if not all, samsung phones called Knox. Once you root a samsung phone, a fuse attached to Knox is tripped, and it can not be fixed. No certified technician can. Not even samsung will fix it. All security apps, and including apps like Netflix, some banking apps, will always check the status of Knox when you launch them. Once they detect the tripped knox fuse the app will prevent itself from launching. Some only check for rooting files within the phone system and don't check Knox fuse.

You can reflash the official samsung rom and remove the root dependencies, but the tripped Knox fuse will always keep a permanent state of being blown. And that is why the phone will never work 100% as intended, for some apps anyways.

Another danger to be aware of is this: if the phone has been made to have dual Sims, when it came out from factory as a single sim phone, you run the risk of deleting the network files of the phone when you reflash the official rom. This will make it never to connect to a gsm network. Wish you success!

Ozone007:
Why do you want to swap it sir?

Gaming, obviously. There are some certain games that require a dedicated graphics. Its very fast and very responsive for everyday tasks. But for those games, a dedicated graphics is a must.

I have a Dell E5570 laptop with the following specs
Intel Core I5-6300U
FHD Screen (1920*1080), anti-glare
Backlight Keyboard
Integrated graphics Intel UHD 520
8gb DDR4 Ram
1 TB HDD
Windows is activated with the original license
Very neat with no fault.

I want to swap with something similar with same CPU generation or higher but must have a DEDICATED graphics card of 2gb, 4gb or more VRAM.. I am willing to also add a reasonable amount of cash to the deal.

Anyone who is interested can whatsapp chat with me on 7 0 3 4 5 8 8 2 9 3.

Selling both phones for 80k (Slightly negotiable)

Please drop your number lets talk or chat on WhatsApp. Or reach out to me on .x. Bleep xx Bleep, Nairaland is too slow for messaging.

Lenny22:
Hello Nairaland peeps, my friend is 23 but looks 28. This is really affecting his self esteem, he has lost quite a number of modelling gigs because most people think he reduced his age.
He developed facial hair at age 16 and started shaving at age 17. Due to the lack of proper shaving technique back then has resulted into hyper pigmentation. Is there any remedy?

Broooo!! I am welcoming your "friend" to the "Club of Early Maturity". Welcome!, friend of Nairaland.com-member!
This is my story:
I started growing facial hair when i was barely out of primary school. My head hair was so curly, the secondary school teachers thought i was using Sporting Wave Cream on my head, and at such an early age! What blasphemy! I was forced to cut my hair to the skin. When they saw how the hair regrew and the waves came back, i was set free. Another immediately took offence because i was growing moustache at an early age. My classmates changed my name to sound like hair (in Yoruba). All these happened before i finished JSS 3. I became very self conscious.
Nevertheless, I got to acquire a sense and look of maturity beyond my age. Many were not really sure of my age and were often thinking twice before attempting some weird jokes with me. It was a mixture of good and bad. But more of the good.
Tell your friend to try and see the good and not only the bad. It can be seen as a gift, as well as a problem. It all depends on his/her attitude towards life.

When life gives you lemons, make some lemonades with it.

Why Do British (and Nigerian) Lawyers Still Wear Wigs?

The drama of a criminal trial has a macabre allure. In America, strangers line up to enter courtrooms as spectators of high-profile proceedings. Those who can't be there in person watch live-streamed versions on televisions and tablets. And when there's downtime from real-life court battles, many turn instead to pseudo-fictional primetime portrayals.

But when was the last time you saw lawyer or judge wearing a powdered wig? While this isn't a tradition you'll find in America (excepting historic re-enactments), in England wigs remain an important part of formal courtroom attire for judges and barristers — the term
there for lawyers.

Many of the judges and barristers who wear wigs in court say the headpiece — also known as a peruke — brings a sense of formality and solemnity to proceedings.
"In fact, that is the overwhelming point for having them," says Kevin Newton, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who studied law at the University of London. Newton adds that barristers' counterparts, known as solicitors, meet with clients outside the courtroom and are not required to wear wigs.

A Desire for Uniformity
Like many uniforms, wigs are an emblem of anonymity, an attempt to distance the wearer from personal involvement and a way to visually draw on the supremacy of the law, says Newton. Wigs are so much a part of British criminal courts that if a barrister doesn't wear a wig, it's seen as an insult to the court.
Barristers must wear a wig slightly frizzed at the crown, with horizontal curls on the sides and back. In addition, there are two long strips of hair that hang down below the hairline on the neck and sport a looped curl at each end. Different types of lawyers, though, have distinctions in the style of wig.

A judge's wig is similar, but more ornate. It's a full wig, from a slightly frizzed top that transitions into tight horizontal curls that range several inches below the shoulders. Most wigs are made of white horse hair, but as a wig yellows with age, it takes on a coveted patina that conveys experience.
Horse hair may not seem like a particularly precious material, but pair specialty hair with an age-old craft of styling, sewing and gluing, and the resulting wigs aren't cheap. A judge's full-length wig can cost more than $3,000, while the shorter ones worn by barristers cost more than $500.
Wigs may have fallen out of general men's fashion over the centuries, but when wigs first made their appearance in a courtroom, they were part and parcel of being a well-dressed professional.

In the 17th century, only the elite wore powdered wigs made of horsehair. Those who couldn't afford the elite garb but wanted to look the part wore wigs made of hair from goats, spooled cotton or human corpses. There was also a steady trade that involved living people who sold their long hair for wigs, though horsehair remained the ideal.

But why did powdered wigs come on the fashion scene in the first place? Why top one's head with an itchy, sweat-inducing mass of artificial curls?
Blame it on syphilis.

Historical Hair
Wigs began to catch on in the late 16th century when an increasing number of people in Europe were contracting the STD. Without widespread treatment with antibiotics (Sir Alexander Fleming didn't discover penicillin, the treatment for syphilis, until 1928), people with syphilis were plagued by rashes, blindness, dementia, open sores and hair loss. The hair loss was particularly problematic in social circles. Long hair was all the rage, and premature balding was a dead giveaway that someone had contracted syphilis.

Wigs, when not used to cover syphilis-related hair loss, were a big help for those who had lice. After all, it was much more dificult to treat and pick through the hair on one's head than it was to sanitize a wig.
When it comes to trend-starters, no one had a bigger influence on British wigs than Louis XIV of France. During his reign from 1643 to 1715, the Sun King disguised his
prematurely balding scalp — historians believe it was caused by syphilis — by wearing a wig. In doing so, he started a trend that was widely followed by the European upper- and middle-class, including his cousin, Charles II, the King of England (also rumored to have contracted syphilis), who reigned from 1660 to 1685. Although aristocrats and those who wished to remain in good social standing were quick to adopt the practice of wearing wigs, English courtrooms were slower to act. In the early 1680s, judicial portraits still showed a natural, no-wig look. By 1685, however, full, shoulder-length wigs had become part of the proper court dress.

A Persistent Legacy
Over time, wigs fell out of fashion with society as a whole. During the reign of England's King George III, from 1760 to 1820, wigs were worn by only a few — namely bishops, coachmen and those in the legal profession. And bishops were permitted to stop wearing them in the 1830s. But the courts kept wigs for hundreds of years more. In 2007, though, new dress rules did away with barrister wigs — for the most part. Wigs were no longer required during family or civil court appearances, or when appearing before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Wigs, however, remain in use in criminal cases.
In the U.K. and Ireland, judges continued to wear wigs until 2011, when the practice was discontinued. In England, and other former English and British colonies — like Canada, for instance, whose provinces abandoned the wigs throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, or Jamaica which removed the wigs in 2013 — lawyers and judges now only wear wigs for ceremonies.
The habit persists, though. "It is a little bit odd when you think of it, but I think this phenomenon has a symbolic aspect to it," prominent Hong Kong lawyer Johnny Mok told the Financial Times in 2013, "just like the use of the wig and gown in Hong Kong. My feeling is that Hong Kong will probably be one of the very last jurisdictions where wig and gown will continue to be used."

Adherence to tradition is a powerful human trait.
