Please I need help in connecting my Samsung np530u4c laptop with a broken screen to a tv
via hdmi to access some files.
I have tried the fn + f4 combo but it doesn't work. Is there any other combination that
can be used?

problem could be either you have too much apps installed, over heating, hard disk is becoming obsolate. Since when did you start noticing this problem

....and as per the over heating, it can be true because i placed it on a textbook, and how can i make the hard disk active?

what is your pc configuration. You may take it to an engineer to do check up and clean the system ( just like servicing the system ) and check if the fan is still at the right spot.

Hello
I have a Hp 650 laptop, I gave a friend who needed it.. He used it and drained the battery till it went off itself.
When I collected it.. I tried charging it for several hours but it's not charging.. It shows a power cord connected and shows "plugged in, not charging" with a white notification light at the side instead of a orange light.. Could it be that the battery has spoilt or what?

Try this, remove the battery from the laptop, then press the power button down for 10 seconds, now reconnect the battery and plug in your power adapter to charge

That(fn + f4) is what Samsung recommended. You can try Windows Key + P .

Report back here for more information if that didn't work for you.

it could be that the battery is bad. Use a software like batterycare from batterycare dot net to see the info about your battery

There are many cause of this problem but two major ones to address in your case first:

1) Your battery cells and connectors are bad. Try it with another battery to see if you are still having the same problem and brush the contacts for your battery and laptop to clear it of debris .

2) Your motherboard has malfunctioned. See a tech to fix it for you.

You are welcome,bro. Yes, I do. It is advisable to make an external recovery disk than making a recovery partition from you HDD. It is very easy in Windows 10.

1) Press Windows Key + R to open 'Run' dialog.

2) Type or copy and paste cmd into 'Run' and click on 'Ok' to open command prompt

3) Type or copy and paste RecoveryDrive into command prompt and hit Enter key to continue.

4) Insert your formatted USB or new empty DVD disc into the appropriate drive. I would suggest you make use of USB for this.

5) Make sure to select the little box 'Back up system to recovery drive' and click on 'Next' to continue. Wait for your system to execute some process.

6) Select the 'available drive' for the USB or DVD disc you inserted and click on 'Next' to continue.

7) Now click on 'Create' button to start making your recovery USB or DVD disc.

try wiggling the power cord around to see if it comes on for a moment, this is to be sure your power Jack is not loose or broken from its solder joint.
