Pls adm. I don't know if this is the right place to post my problem. I have a Toshiba Window 8 ultrabook laptop core 13 (the type that looks like an iPad, you can slide it to reveal the keypad, it has no CD/DVD ROM only USB slot). The problem is when it is powered on it only shows "Password=_" at the top left hand corner of the screen without displaying the window logo. Some one told me it is asking for an administrators password. Pls can any tech guru in the house help me out with the password? pls & pls I need your help asap.
if u can provide proof of ownership then the issue can be solved easily.....u can call on 08061679732

Thanks, the Laptop was owned by my late brother who passed on recently & nobody knows the password.

Hi Guys,

Please help me out Asap.

See pics attached...

1. My Dell laptop hangs while using MSwords once some sone numbers and letters start showing on the tool bars.

2. After loading the screen becomes coloured with lines. It didn't fall or crack. I am told that it is expired so I need to replace the screen.

what's ur PC DC rating?


Voltage of 18.5 but I tested the charger with a voltmeter and it gives me voltages between 16.0-17.9v. Is the actual voltage supposed to be lower than the charger rating?


Thanks..
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by WeldHome: 7:13pm On Mar 24, 2016
shawlxAk:

The charger might be working, but it might not be delivering the correct voltage. So, you can start by borrowing a similar adapter from someone and testing the system with it.

If it doesn't power on still, then find a way to charge your battery or borrow a similar one and then test it on your computer. Let me know your findings.



I'll try look for one, tho it'll be quite difficult since I use HP 620 (old stuff). When I get one I'll give you info. Will also be going to computer village if I can't get any here in my area. So when I'm there, I'd ask to have the laptop tested with another charger, if it doesn't work then I go for repair..

I'll also try the option of using another ba3 because my ba3 has been having issues for sometimes now. Doesn't last any longer but adaptor should at least power the laptop without the ba3 (if ba3 was the only issue).

Will keep you updated. Thanks

Yes, the voltage is fluctuating, which surprises (thought it was only alternating current that fluctuates). Couldn't find another charger so I will go to computer village to look for it, but on the condition that it charges my laptop before I buy it. If it doesn't charge then I go to an Engineer to help me fix it.

Thank you so much sir.

sth is wrong with the charger if it fluctuates current. please do not plug it in our PC again, because u might need Fire Service to put-out the outcome.
try and get another charger with the same DC range and report back like u said.

Got another charger and it's charging my laptop now. Is inverter power by any means bad for laptop charging? I asked because I've used that charge for years only for it to get bad on 1 and half month of use on inverter..

BTW, a big thanks to you and shawlxAk for your help. God bless..

What media adapter?
