Hello.
This shows that your win-7 license has expired. So, you need to activate it.

Usually a software person should be able to help with this.
Sadly, I can't recommend any sites for downloads because you will risk contracting malware from these sites.

*Cheers*

Please anyone online i need urgent advice

I formatted my system to windows 8 pro, after formatting and getting to where i can add system name it went off


My question is hope it will resume from dat point or a fresh installation

Hello.
Sometimes, it does continue from where it stopped. However, in such cases where it doesn't, a blue screen results and you're of course forced to re-install windows.

I switched on my laptop and the loudspeaker icon is showing that the audio device is not installed, this just started when my lappy dropped from my dinning table to the follow, as such the audio Is not playing again...please how can I rectify this fault?
while de system falls i believe de system speaker might have unplug itself from the board that's why it showing no signs of audio attach

Best way is to take it to a technician who can open the system and firmly plug the speaker for you

The system falling cant remove it driver

Of course. Don't be fooled by the word "software person" grin . sounds big but it isn't!!
Just some guy who sells softwares burnt to DVDs (he also installs too)

He can easily walk up to these guys pay a token get a copy of the software (safely- without needing to find a needle in a haystack).


An App? Yes.

Perhaps he/she can make use of some specifics as regards getting the utility... Err sorry ... "App".

BTW...That name " software person" big sha grin grin

What's a better way to describe those guys

*Cheers*

Hello.
Usually, the repair man considers the option of a backlight fix. Where this is impossible/impractical, then it'll be a total screen replacement.

It's advisable to have a total screen change even if the backlight can be fixed.

Hey...let's do some math

Repair man collects NGN7,000 to fix backlight.

In two weeks time

You visit repair man again with same issue

Repair man fixes same issue NGN5,000 (e don sabi you grin )

Total =NGN12,000

I didn't mention you'll eventually replace the screen (las las)

---++++++++----------OR------------+++++++++++-----

You replace screen = NGN16,000

3 Years later, screen still intact.


*choose wisely

*Cheers*

I don't agree with this.

Back light is an easy fix and it doesn't mean the fault will occur again.
Back light fault can come from the screen it self (if the fuse at the back is short to ground most times) or from the motherboard.

In the case of the motherboard even if you change 1 million screen you will still get the same issue.
Buying a new screen does not means this same fault can not occur the next day, remember we are talking about electronics, as long as it has to do with light anything can happen at any given time.

Even if you buy a new laptop now, it doesn't mean it won't develop fault tomorrow.

It's left for him to choose though but if fault is from motherboard and not the screen then he has to fix the motherboard.

Update your display adapter, if it is up to date then consider replacing your ram or increasing it.

A key on your keyboard is faulty, you need to replace it.

As long as it has pass the first stage, it will always continue from where it stop.


Should in case you get a blue screen then you have to reinstall again.

Always connect your charger when installing a new operating system. If it goes off like that it can damage your hdd.

Fault can be software or hardware.

If you laptop have a button or where to press to activate the speaker sound on it, try it out first.

Definitely,base on experience even if you reinstall the operating system at first your video will play fine but after a while it start again.

The best thing to do is increase your ram or increase your virtual memory by right clicking on my computer.

Select Properties==advanced system settings===advanced==performance==advanced==(virtual memory) then click on change.

Input 20000mb, click on apply and reboot your laptop.

Even if you power it on with the adapter it won't on.

Adapter voltage is not being detected on your motherboard.
See a laptop technician.

Morning guys..... I have been unable to use Wi-fi on my Windows 10 Acer laptop cos the Wi-fi Icon is missing, I have tried running ncpa.cpl but it's not showing nearby networks. I also tried troubleshooting but still the same issue.

I ran a Intel Pro Wireless test on it and it says Association failed.

And the hardware is working perfectly and I tried updating the driver through driverpack and driverbooster, it says I have the latest version. What could be the problem?
