I’m Engr fix it.

I’m still expecting your queries. I guess cos it’s late but pls keep the posts coming.

Why does any earphone I use on Laptops get spoilt just days later? They just stop working!!


Thanks in advance

Not all earphones are compatible with laptops. Headphones or earphones have additional pins for microphone. This is due to the fact that earphone makers manufacture their product for their brand which might not work for any other. I’ll advice you to either locate your laptop manufacturer and get earphones specifically made for that brand or to be on a safer side, use headphones which are more durable. Pls let me know if this answer works for you. Thank you.

Good day sir
My windows 7 hp laptop is refusing to increase the system storage no Matter how many files i delete but when i insert a file in it, the storage capacity decrease.. For instance, the storage capacity was 55Gb free of 175Gb, Then I deleted movies that contained about 10Gb and went back to check but it was still like that.
Pls what could be the cause?

In order to avoid unexpected data loss issue while freeing up space on your devices, please backup important data or remove saved files to other spot first.

First option is to run partition manager freeware to free up space on USB/SD/hard drive
Professional partition manager freeware - EaseUS Partition Master Free supports you to effectively free up space on Windows hard drive, partition or external storage devices with two reliable options. You may try either option to free.

Second option is to Use DiskPart to clean disk and free up space
1. Right-click Start button and select Command Prompt;
2. Type:diskpart in Command Prompt and hit Enter;

3. Type: list disk and hit Enter;

4. Type: select disk 2 and hit Enter; (Replace 2 with the disk number of your device.)

5. Type: clean and hit Enter;

Wait for the process complete till the message 'DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk' popped up.
Type: exit and hit Enter to close DiskPart.

When you delete it goes to your recycle bin in case you need it later,if you want to delete it permanently go to recycle bin and delete permanently then you will see the space you're looking for.

How could I have forgotten this simple procedure? You can also try this and let’s see what happens. However, subsequently to permanently delete files from your PC, use the combination of ‘shift-delete’

My HP 15 Windows 10 laptop just started this issue of "plugged in, not charging" and it's been so annoying. I have tried uninstalling the battery drivers, no change. Pls what else can I do, by the way, I noticed a plastic burning smell coming from the charging port some days back but I thought it was due to the broken plastic around the charging port....


Pls Ejor biko... Any DIY solution?

Urgent please.

Hello,

My PC with windows 8 just shows blank desktop environment whenever I boot it on, the funny thing is that there is a way I navigate through my system through the task manager by opening the file location.

I suspect that it may be the OS but kindly give me your expert advice.

I just hope you understand my explanation.

You’ll need to install blue stack first:
BlueStacks is an Android App Player that allows you to run Android apps on PC. Following are the steps on how to install any app on PC with Bluestacks:

To begin, install BlueStacks in PC
Launch BlueStacks on PC
Once BlueStacks is launched, click My Apps button in the emulator
Search for: Facebook Lite
You will see search result for Facebook Lite app just install it
Login to your Google account to download apps from Google Play on Bluestacks
After login, installation process will start for Facebook Lite depending on your internet connection.
Hints: If you are having LOADING issue with BlueStacks software simply install the Microsoft .net Framework software in your PC. Or comment below your problem.

Facebook lite is completely lightweight solution for Facebook users who want to browse through their newsfeed even when there is no internet connection. If you use Facebook then you must have heard of it. In this article, you will learn to download and install Facebook lite Android app on your PC no matter if you use Windows or Mac. Basically, Lite version of Facebook uses fewer data and works in all network condition

The battery is about 6k. However for the other kits mentioned by you, I’ll help you get the price after the Yuletide season. Pls kindly remind me next year.

I don’t but I know people who can help with that very well. Is it hardware or software issue?

You’re right, it’s an OS issue. The boot manager after performing the POST was unable to load the OS which is corrupt. However, the good news is that unlike win 7, win 8 can be reloaded and you will not loose anything if you do it right. I will however advice you to back up your files before embarking on this. Since there is a way you navigate to your files (through safe mode I guess), you should still be able to backup your files somehow.

PLs how did the plastic around the charging port break? That might help in resolving this issue. Also, I’m suspecting that a power surge might have occurred and damaged your charging port. In case you can’t answer these questions, just send me a PM so we can work on this issue together.

It’s not always a case of firewall that’s a mundane answer your regular PC troubleshooter will give you. Try these first;

Use someone else’s hotspot or modem and see what happens.
Try removing and rejoining your hotspot from the PC ( I mean your hotspot s password) and see the result.
Try checking with your wireless connection if it’s coming on or not.

If it doesn’t work after these, the n PM me.

Actually,
It fell, some months back and that part got pressed in and broke... But since then charging has been fine,though I became more careful when inserting the charger.
