RUDEBOYY: The RAM might be faulty,you need to replace it and see. |

U1: You don't have to pay much, all u have to do is take your laptop to an engineer and tell him you want to replace the RAM, DDR2 is not expensive. If he put another one there and it work then you pay for it, if it doesn't you can negotiate with him to fix it for you. If the price is above your budget, you can go back another time or decide to dump it. The choice is yours. 1 Like |

Samfilo31: What is the model of your laptop? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 8:52am On Feb 12, 2019 |
U1: Well, probably Most likely if a fix isn't working, a motherboard change is way to goo. 1 Like |

The model of my laptop is Hp pavilion dv6700 it not showing option to be able to boot from external cd rom udemzyudex:screenshot is bellow

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 10:42am On Feb 12, 2019 |
Samfilo31: Go to bios setup, boot menu and check if you will see the option of external cd when u connect it. In some models depending on the bios, other options won't show on the list unless you move it up or move it down. Again, depending on the model you have to set it to compatability, Legacy or UEFI mode. BTW why are you using external cd rom when you can easily create a boot able windows with USB flash (8gb) It is faster than using cd. 1 Like |

My Mac book can't boot anymore, I downloaded Os X high Sierra and tried making a bootable USB stick with transmac after watching on YouTube. It took almost 12 hours to write to USB but when I inserted the USB, held options key and press the power on button I don't see the Boot USB avaliable. I don't know anyone who owns a Mac else it would be easy to restore the dmg image to USB with disk utility. I can't use the internet recovery option to reinstall the Os my internet is not fast enough so that might take an entire day. Any advice for me? |

Just bought a London used HP laptop last week, tried switching it on today but backlight not working. Any possible solution |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 9:20pm On Feb 12, 2019 |
grossintel: Hi. Insert the USB stick, power on while pressing the Control key. Not options key. Let's know if it worked |

superfelix: From what you wrote it means your laptop powers on but no display. 1. Press the caplock button and see if it is working fine 2. What is the model of your laptop? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 2:16am On Feb 13, 2019 |
grossintel: I'll advise you take it to a laptop technician to help you reinstall the operating system since you don't have everything you need to make it work. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 2:20am On Feb 13, 2019 |
Thunday1005: Yeah, 1. Some seller will give 1 week, 1 month or 2 weeks warranty, some don't give it all depend on your negotiation with the seller. If you have warranty you can take it back, they will fix it for you as long as there is no physical damage. 2. Take it to a laptop technician for repair,cos there is nothing you can do since its a motherboard issue. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 11:56am On Feb 13, 2019 |
Razak5:It didn't work, I copied the disk image to one of my hard drives, and booted to internet recovery then diskutil, there I used High Sierra OS image option and restored the image to my flash drive which I formatted to Apfs to my greatest surprise it didn't work either. Most of the posts I see online regarding this are related to hackintoch (install OS X on non Apple PC). It's really driving me crazy, I tried intenet recovery with ntel unlimited but it was too slow and along the line the download stopped with unable to connect to host error. |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 12:40am On Feb 15, 2019 |
grossintel:Fixed : I'm going to leave this here incase someone happens to have the same issue with mine. This is for those who own a Mac and have the dmg os x installation file but cannot install because the Mac is not bootable and no strong internet connection to reinstall os x from internet recovery. Forget transmac, it won't work. All tutorials online don't address this issue like in my case where we have poor internet connection. So this is what you will need. 1. A copy of the os x dmg file 2. Two external hard drive or USB stick with at list 16gb 3. An internet connection. Step 1: hold command + R and turn on PC, keep holding till it boots to recovery, if it doesn't then you should see starting internet recovery. You can connect to wifi and it will proceed. Step 2 connect both USBs, one should have a copy of the dmg os x file and the other should be a blank USB. I suggest you name for reference purposes. Step 3: select disk utility, from the options menu you should see select image or something like that, browse the USB where the dmg os x file is and select the file. Disk utility will mount the image and you will see the drive with the os x name example High sierra. Step 4: exit disk utility from the options menu, but don't restart your pc. You will return to the main menu, from utilities menu select terminal and it will open. Now type this commands as follows. Start from browsing the options menu and select import, you will see the mounted os x high Sierra image, now select the installer and drag it into terminal, the path to the file will follow and it should look like this Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/ Now add the following code to it: Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB2 So the code should look like this Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB2 Please note that USB1 and USB2 are the names of my USB drives so substitute with yours (USB1 has the dmg file and USB2 is empty) Now add the rest of the code and the final code should look like this : Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB2 - -applicationpath Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app Step 5: Press the enter key and you will be prompted that USB2 will be erased, just type y and enter to continue. It will start the process of making the USB bootable. Wait till its done and you should be able to boot into the USB by holding c when you power on or options key then select the bootable drive. It took me almost a week of searching the internet and no solution could fit my situation. I figured it out after trying alot of things. Edited: If Mojave is installed on your computer, then you can't use - -applicationpath because it's now deprecated. So you need to delete this line - -applicationpath Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app So the final code should be Volumes/USB1/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB2 |
