Pearlqueen:i understand, your caps lock button blinks and the scroll lock button, these are the diagnostic signs or messages about what is wrong with the laptop. This sounds as a failed bios updates, the system will hangs at that hp logo, sometimes just blank screen. Can you enter into the bios menu ? |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 9:15pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Pearlqueen:if it's not the bios, then it's definitely the Hard drive is bad |

neuroboy4:yes it is possible to get the replacement cable, but there are some cases where they will have to change the whole touch pad panel, connected to the motherboard, it depends on the laptop. You can make use of an external mouse pending the time, you change it 1 Like |

Adewale1603:Yes, I can access the BIOS setup. |

Pearlqueen:it's the hard drive |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Pearlqueen(f): 10:06pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Adewale1603:Like how much then will the hard drive cost, up to 750GB? |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 10:14pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Pearlqueen:i don't know of 750Gb, but 500GB is about #7,000. Technology advancement, HDD is fast becoming obsolete. SSD is the future, very fast and most reliable 1 Like |

Adewale1603:How can one now change from HDD to SSD? |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 10:58pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Pearlqueen:you will buy SSD storage instead of the regular HDD storage. And insert it into the system. It support every laptop, even old laptops. It's expensive, unlike the regular HDD, it's called a Solid state drive, it has no rotating mechanical tape like hard drive, so it's very fast just like a Ram memory, it's durable and doesn't crash like hard drive. 2 Likes |

Sirventor01:Like i said, you'll need to restore it. Send me a DM through my signature. I might not be on NL during the day. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 7:21am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Sirventor01:you will need an external keyboard and mouse to be able to do anything on that system and restore your windows |

Adewale1603: so what am I going to do like this |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 7:33am On Aug 05, 2020 |
McAyoola:you'll continue to play mid range games or older games it would smoothly play. Or you can upgrade the graphics card of the laptop, which i doubt if it would be upgradeable |

Dear All, Please i run a window 8.1 on my HP envy Ultrabook 4 laptop. I tried using the Webcam of recent then i noticed the display is blank, only the white dot light turn on after i open YouCam. So i updated YouCam thinking i have old version YouCam, then i ran YouCam again and the display shows YouCam icon instead of displaying my face. i installed Zoom as well and i got a blank display too. I checked my Device Manager and it was SPCA2082 PC Camera that i have as Camera Driver... But when i checked other people HP laptop they have HP Truevision as Camera Driver. Please what can be done to rectify the problem and make my webcam works. NOTE: beside the laptop Webcam, HP Truevision is boldly written. Thanks. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 10:34am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja:Your webcam driver is not yet installed. That Hp True vision is the webcam driver meant for your system. You need to update the webcam driver from the device manager or download it from the website and manually install it |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Jaywon9ja(m): 10:40am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Adewale1603: Please how can i manually download it online, i have searched google for days but to no avail. As advised, i have tried updating from device manager for days, but all i get back in return is 'window has determined the best driver software for your device is already installed' |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 11:33am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja:you will go to the official website page of Hp, hp support page and enter and search for your laptop model, product name or serial number. It would detect your system model and ask you to select your operating system, you will select windows 8.1 64bit version, then move to the softwares and drivers section, you will see a list of all system drivers, expand the tab panel, to show more info about each drivers. you will see the camera drivers there also, just click on it and download it and run the exe file for installations. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Jaywon9ja(m): 11:34am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja: . |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 11:41am On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja:Another thing you should firstly do is, go to the device manager and uninstall that webcam driver there and delete the device driver. Restart your laptop, on restarting, the correct camera driver Hp true vision will be installed automatically for you. |

Adewale1603: How much is SSD? I want to upgrade my HP Pavilion 15-ac151dx instead of getting a new laptop. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 11:51am On Aug 05, 2020 |
VerifiedStalin:it's expensive, but i don't have an idea of the current prices. Ask those sellers in charge of market and technology section |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by VerifiedStalin: 12:04pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Adewale1603: Alright, thanks. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Edopesin: 12:09pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
VerifiedStalin: Just know it's 5x(sometimes more) the price of HDD in the same storage range Like if 250gb HDD is 3000 then 250gb SSD will be 15000 I don't know if this is the case of recent though 2 Likes |

Edopesin: This is very helpful. Thanks. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Jaywon9ja(m): 1:27pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Adewale1603: Thank you for giving me time, i have tried all troubleshooting you gave and here are the results. 1. On Hp support sites, i couldn't find any software/driver on Camera or Webcam. The only one on Camera is Cyberlink YouCam 5.0 which i have installed already. So that doesn't help resolve the issue. 2. I uninstalled the SPCA2082 PC Camera, and went to my Local disk C: windows to try delete the files, but its not giving me access, so i couldn't delete device driver or probably i dont know how to go about deleting the device driver. so upon restarting the system, the SPCA2082 re-installed automatically again. Please do you reside in Ibadan or is there anyone you can recommend for me in Ibadan to help me fix this. Thanks so much. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Jaywon9ja(m): 1:32pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Adewale1603: But if you don't mind, can you kindly expantiate for me how to delete device driver. How to easily identify the exact driver and where to locate it. Thanks in anticipation. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by neuroboy4: 1:53pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Adewale1603:Ohh, Thanks... |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 2:40pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja:in the process of uninstalling it, you know that, it will bring out a confirmation dialogue, asking you to confirm the uninstallation, there will also be a little box, click inside that box to both uninstall and delete the device driver, so that it won't automatically reinstall again. |
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here And Get Solution To Fix It Yourself by Adewale1603(m): 2:49pm On Aug 05, 2020 |
Jaywon9ja:That cyberlink youcam is a software not a driver, the driver is not available on the official site. |
