Dell Latitude e6320, keep saying plug in, not charging, has not charged passed 77%. Any remedy?

Try the following:
1. Uninstall Battery ACPI driver under device manager and reboot

2. Remove the battery (if removable) and re insert while laptop charger is plugged in and working.

3. If problem persist then try another battery and another charger... One after the other.

Opinions, views and acceptance differs. We all sees the same thing differently. You will agree with me that markets all over this country are opened n statistics from NCDC has it that 70% of covid-19 patients in the country are males. Any logic in that? Are you aware that the supposed covid-19 patients quarantined are now stealing doctors n nurses phones and even holding them hostage? We can't all be totally dumb as you are quick to tag the few of us that think differently. I will say it again, it is not as precarious as they have painted it here. Cheers brother.

The last time I checked, there was a difference between 'all' and 'a lot'. I believe that difference still hold. I agree with you on the current state of quarantine centres as well as your assertion on the last line.
Cheers

As if you are working with MTN ABI?
Don't let us use u to mop Nairaland floor oh.....respect yourself!

Do you even use MTN? I know the shege MTN showed me until I recently swapped to Etisalat...

Twice I have swapped; first to GLo and after I relocated and Glo was poor in my new area,I suffered again with MTN until I stumbled on Etisalat again....


With glo and Etisalat I had freedom of browsing,no fears, no checking data and I must say A BETTER SPEED....



I'll just pretend I didn't read that first paragraph of yours.

I wasn't defending MTN in anyway. Well, it is alright if you can't read and comprehend what I typed earlier. My input was more of a helping guide than baseless argument of whether MTN is good or bad.

I will never talk on covid-19 again neither will open any news that has anything to do with it. I am not saying it is not here but the figure being paraded is a bogus one. Real covid-19 case in Nigeria is not up to 5k


The dumb ones won't understand this. Suppose NCDC claims the number rose to 1 million over night, I'm certain that a lot of Nigerians won't have any reason to question the figure.

My laptop keep coming up with the message that my window is not genuine. It is requesting that I type a product key to get a new one
I guess the window 2007 has expired or somewhat. What do I do pls

The message 'window is not genuine' is coming from the Op rating system and not from office 2007. You're receiving it because the window image installed is a pirated copy and not the original one. I guess you're using window 7. Asking you to enter product is another thing entirely. It means your window is not activated. You can get product keys online or check the window 7 disk drive installer if you have any. You could as well use third-party tools to activate incase you're out of luck finding a functional product key.

I think office 2007 has a lifetime activation and so shouldn't have issues with activation.

I'm so angry right now. As you can see, I'm creating this post in the middle of the night.

There are many negative things people say about MTN. Sincerely, I've always given them an open mind but tonight I discovered something very terrible about them

Summary:
When you subscribe for night data, MTN doesn't only deduct from your night data balance, they also deduct from your main balance.

Explanation
For long I've been using the MTN pulse plan. I buy 1.5gig weekly. But because I usually need to download tutorials from YouTube I support my data with their 500mb midnight plan.

I've always noticed that my 1.5gig doesn't last long. Within five days (sometimes three days) my data would have finished.

I spend a lot of time online but there's no way my daily usage can reach 400mb. Most of my time online is on WhatsApp, searching google for information and staying up to data with industry gists on Twitter.

This night I subscribed to the MTN night plan, then used their app to check my balance before browsing. If you use the mtn night data regularly then you know there's no way to check your balance with USSD.

Luckily for me, the MTN app shows the night balance. So I was able to monitor both my main data balance and the midnight balance.

Guess what I found?
MTN was deducting from both accounts simultaneously.
No wonder, this is the snake that has been stealing eggs from my poultry.
I was so angry that I wanted to remove the SIM but I decided to collect evidence before removing their SIM.

Below are two screenshots. I took the first before downloading a video from YouTube. The video is 48mb.

Then I took the second screenshot after the download had completed.

As you can see, MTN didn't even touch my night data again. They deducted virtually everything from my main balance.

This is so painful. I feel cheated.

MTN can be many things but this isn't one of them. I think the issue has to do with their system. Perhaps, some sort of system glitch.

I used to experience this too with my 1.5Gb monthly plan until I discovered where the problem was.

When your data connection is on and you went ahead to activate the Night plan, most times the night plan isn't active (swithed as the default plan).

All you need do is: after a successful activation of the night plan, disconeect your data and restart your phone. In the case when restart isn't desirable, a toggle on the Airplane mode will do. Wait for about 1 minute before turning on data. That's all.

This fixed it for me.

Is all this possible ona space of 5 seconds? embarassed


Is there any way I can salvage my WhatsApp though so that it does not start from the very beginning? (I have a local backup for WhatsApp saved on a system. The one that shows 'databases' , can it be of any use?)

Regarding your WhatsApp:

1. The answer to your question is 'YES' (can it be of any use?)

2. Do you have an sdcard already in the phone before the format? If yes, this would make restoring your chat history very easy because your sdcard will most likely contain an up-to-date backup.

pls guys I need help in recovering my files

I was using my phone yesterday when all of a sudden the screen stopped responding. I thought the phone was hanging so I hard rebooted(I couldn't shut down because no part of the screen was responding) thinking it will solve the whole issue but nothing still, the screen was still not responding.
I waited for the battery to drain so I could use volume button down and power button to go to factory mode and reboot from there but still the same. I was sha pressing different stuffs to see if I will see anything to know the issue with the screen.
That's how I went to click on "clear eMMc" oo. I was not sure what it meant but I clicked on it thinking it will ask me "yes" or "no" but the next thing it showed was "clearing data". I rebooted the phone immediately, about 5 seconds, when it showed "clearing data” but when it rebooted it was showing " welcome".
Pls don't welcome me anywhere I just want my files ��. How can 3 years worth files be deleted in 5 seconds just like that ��.
I've not touched the phone since yesterday night , I can't bear to see that all my files have been deleted ��
I don't even have my WhatsApp recently backed up.
Pls help me recover my files embarassed embarassed

cc photon3106 and all other geniuses pls

That's quite unfortunate. From what I know about android and the 'Clear eMMC' option in the factory test menu, I'm sorry to break it to you but your files are gone unless you've got some back up somewhere either on your PC or in the cloud because that option formats and rewrites the DATA partition to 'zeros' which is the highest formatting level that can be achieved. The data partition is then repopulated at first boot with essential app data and other system files.

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Oh okay, that's cool. It's not ads jare, viruses were written into the RAM compartment of the phone by its Chinese manufacturers. We in Nigeria will say 'the phone don expire', I think it has served its purpose and it's time to throw it in the bin. For her, it's "Get a new phone O' Clock" and she says Infinix is a no no no, Tecno too. I don't blame her jare, I've used both and it wasn't funny at all.

I wish her the best. As for the virus, I sincerely hope that what she has is an original Infinix and not a clone. That sounds like a clone to me as only clones and generic Chinese phones come with malwares like the popular monkey virus. This virus is a system app that takes up huge resources such as RAM and internet data.

From experience, aside the usual bloatwares (not the same with malwares) on Infinix and tecno devices, I have never come across malwares like those stated above.

Infinix and Tecno have their short comings - no doubt! Yet, every brand does too.

All da best grin

Wow, you really know so much about phones. You won't believe it was really a faulty power button. She said the phone wasn't charging again and it wasn't turning on too. She dumped the phone after crying her eyes out. To cut it short sha, she took it to a technician who said it was a faulty power button and also an IC problem. He worked on the phone and she says it's working perfectly now except the hardware viruses that keeps popping up whenever her data is on, makes the phone hang too. She has learnt to delete the viruses whenever they pop up til she's able to get a new phone. She says sometimes she feels like smashing the phone on the wall or stamping her foot on it but then she's got no other one for now.

Thank you sooo much for your help, we really appreciate

I'm glad that helped.

You thought I know so much about phones because I'm a certified smartphone & laptop technician grin .

Concerning the pop up whenever her data is on, tell her to search on playstore and download an ADBLOCKER. That will prevent the ad from coming up.

Or she could give the phone to someone who would help identify the app with the intrusive ad and either disable or uninstall it if possible.

These news stories are just mind games to give false impression and false hope that school resumption is imminent. These are just stalling tactics until WHO perfects and executes their evil plan to depopulate black people especially us in Nigeria.
It is obvious PMB and his government has been likely overthrown or suspended and Nigeria is under the direct rule of white racist globalist New World Order government for Africa and other third world countries.
Make a survival plan for when the poisoning starts. Remember Coro is a hoax so if we start dropping dead in large numbers just know it is planned and intentional poisoning.

my dell latitude e6400 touchpad is not working
pls help

Possible solution(s)
1. Using an external mouse, Go to Device manager and uninstal your touchpad driver. Reboot PC and check whether it is now working.

2. If 1. Fails, then take it to a technician to have it replaced or check the laptop's board. There are rare cases where the touchpad and keyboard is fine yet they're not working due to a bad controller on board.

my laptop (hp15) don't see USB chord except for charging alone,I have tried several chords but it seems the laptop is the problem.

I'm assuming your laptop has three (3)usb ports in total. Are you saying none of the three ports detect your phone for data transfer irrespective of cable used?

Have you tried other usb devices (e.g modem, wired mouse/keyboard etc) to see whether they're detected or not? If yes and they worked then, nothing is wrong wiht your laptop. Your problem may be driver related.

My cousin uses an infinix hot 3 phone and she got a 32gb sd card recently but whenever she inserts the SD card, her phone turns on even when she turns it off. The phone just come on without her switching it on by herself, thereby running down her battery and it doesn't allow her charge it properly. She's practically losing her mind, please what could possibly be the problem?

Now this is interesting! Tell her to screenshot her power schedule menu under option OR I don't believe... grin

... that the presence of a memory card... Sdcard better still microsd card can really turn on a powered off phone.

Before people claim bad sdcard. No matter how bad it is, it can't initiate a power on command. The worst it can do is freeze the phone while on or prevent it from powering on.

In addition, ask her whether the power button has been worked on...

I look forward to reading from you.

MODIFICATION:

Your question: what could be the problem?

My answer(s]:
1. Faulty power button

2. Power scheduler in action

Possible solution(s]
Disable every alarm
Disable any power scheduler if any.
Visit a technician to have the power button checked.
