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?

Hi.

Insert the USB stick, power on while pressing the Control key. Not options key.

Let's know if it worked

U1:
Thanks, bro. The CAP key light isn't coming on - even an external keyboard won't. Does it mean the system is fried?

I have not tried another RAM yet because I don't want to buy another. What becomes of that if the laptop is now completely useless? That's why I'm reluctant about this.

There's no blinking cursor on the screen and a torch didn't reveal anything.

What actually happened before this issue came up was that the Window logo remained on the screen, which looked rather gibberish, on startup. I decided to restart the notebook and that's it.



Thanks for the response.

The CAP LOCK key light didn't come on at all. The other steps sound more technical for me.

Man, does it mean the mini has given up on me just like that?

It's likely I'll have to cannibalise it if it's going to cost more than 5k to fix.

Well, probably
Most likely if a fix isn't working, a motherboard change is way to goo.

Hello.

NLs convo with pix tend to be a bit shaky.

nurez305:
thank you so much bro for this excellent DIY tutorial. I was able to get it all and restart my pc after i finished as you advised, but the problem still persists because I noticed that, what was been charged by chrome browser and other applications on my system does not correlate with what was consumed from my WiFi.

The reason I am this worried is that, I bought the laptop as UK used late 2017 and hardly will I finished 20gig in a month after browsing with it days and nights but now it takes less than 30minutes to consume 1gig of data now which is getting me to be more worried. I have tried all I could to spot what is consuming the data I couldn't find it. All what I will be seeing is how my data is reading very fast even without using the browser or any application on my system .

Just now I notice os speedy driver trying to connect to internet which I uninstalled immediately but I don't think it is the cause of data consumption.

After I did what you advised me to do now , I connect it to my WiFi and the consumption is still the same.

Please what else do you advise me to do or is it normal to consume data like that or should I just format it and start afresh again because I'm already tire with the rate it is consuming my data now.

Please help a brother on a solution. I'm in Lagos thou

Thank you boss

What version of win 10 are you using ?

To know, simply Press Win key + R. Then type winver in the box.

Please I need help with an HP mini laptop whose screen isn't coming on.

As can be seen in the screenshot, the Wi-Fi light (blue) remains on. It usually went off after a while during boot, but it now remains on. I think there's a problem with the booting process.

I have performed different troubleshoot steps, including removing RAM, HDD and battery. I also held the power button for 60 seconds, with the battery removed.

Could someone guide me on what else to do? Thanks.

Hello.

Let me guess, thus is HP 2133...right?

Ok.
1. If there's any blinking capslock key, then trying another RAM isn't a bad idea.

Removing RAM and putting it back isn't enough to rule out RAM issue. You should test with another known working RAM.

2. If the above isn't the case, then there is likely an issue with the VGA.
Sadly, whatever fix that will be rendered is highly temporary.

The mother board goes for 15,000 to 20,000.

Do remember also that 30,000 can still get you a decent mini laptop.

Or, you might want to upgrade and ditch this mini talk altogether.

*Cheers*

Modified:
Is there a blinking cursor on the screen? If no, then I'll also rule out booting process.

Another thing you should do is pointing a torch to the screen, do you see anything?

If yes, there's a high chance that the LEDs are gone and your screen will need changing...

This is an after -thought though. But hey, they are thoughts afterall.

nurez305:
Hello nairalander, please can anyone suggest what I can do to my laptop, it keep consuming my data at 1.5mb/s despite deactivating auto update (by setting my network metered). I have tried all my best to detect the application that is consuming my data but couldn't see it.

Please what could be the problem? Even without browsing or using my laptop, it will drained up to 3gig in a very short period of time.

Also I noticed the system hang more more compare to before and I don't have much application on it

Please help me because I'm so fed up, I can't even use the system again due to this and it is affecting my project.

I will appreciate your assistance here. My Laptop is Dell with window 10

Thanks in advance

Before I go ahead with my suggestions, chances are

1 . You've tried the "turn on metred connection" and you probably didn't find it... No! I'm so sure you didn't find it or it didn't work.

2. You've also "disabled" auto-updates. Why is the word, disabled in quotes? Because that main download still goes on in win 10.

*let's now move on...

You're going to try one last thing-
tweaking the registry


So, here we go >

Press Win key+R > in the run box (I need a better name grin), type "regedit" without the quotes. This opens the registry editor.

In the registry editor, Navigate this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost

Right click "DefaultMediaCost key" > select "Permissions" > this takes you to the security tab.

On the security tab, click "advanced" button. Click the "change" button next to "Trustedinstsller".

In the "enter object name" box, type Administrators, click the "Check Names" button to make sure you're typing the correct object.Click OK.

On the "Advanced Security Settings for DefaultMediaCost" , check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects"Click Apply > OK.

On "Permissions for DefaultMediaCost" , select the "Administrators group" , be sure to check the "allow Full Control" box . click Apply > OK.

On the DefaultMediaCost key, there are different entries, including those for 3G, 4G, Default, Ethernet, and WiFi with their default data values: 1 or 2.

data value 1 means that the connection type is non-metered,
data value of 2 means that the connection type is metered.
Double-click the Ethernet DWORD (32-bit) Value key, and change the value to 2.

*Do same for Wi-Fi.
>>>restart your laptop <<<

This explanation I just gave is Modified from an article on windowscentral treating the same issue. I must say it saved a lot of my Internet data.

So before you contemplate a downgrade, consider this registry tweak.

*Cheers*

My pc usually shows this stuff sometimes... I need help gurus

Hello Nuel.

I would have suggested checking the memory sticks (RAM). But since this doesn't happen when you're working on the computer then let's skip that part...

Another thing I would have considered is updating the graphics driver. I would. Un-install the current driver and see how it behaves. If you've tried this and its still same, then skip this part...

If this shows sometimes, you should back-up your data and re-install the operating system.

You should do this ASAP- otherwise, a time is coming (not so far from now) when this will be an everyday affair and you may not be able to use your OS anymore.

Also, a hard disk change my not be imminent. But it is worth considering.

*cheers*

Paschez:
please gurus in the house help me, my HP laptop developed an issue, first, when my battery is low like 32% and i tried plugging it to charge it, the laptop will trip off.
secondly, if the battery is drained, and the light is restored, if i plug the laptop to use it, after displaying HP logo, it will trip off. but when i remove the battery to power it direct it will boot to windows. but if you allow the battery to charge fully and power it on, it will not trip off.


so i replaced the battery today but it still occur. please what should i do?

Hello.

This issue is entirely related to the motherboard.
We recorded 60%-80% success rate fixing this issue on older models.

However, the game changes with newer model PCs as the electronic circuits become more and more integrated. In these cases, a change of motherboard is not to be overlooked.

can i get a gaming laptop with a budget of 100k

Hello.
By increasing your budget to 110,000 Naira, you increase your chances.

*Cheers*

reformedCute:
4gb ram, 500gb HDD, good processing. want to use it for heavy task, video editing and android development. budget 60k

.

Hello.
There are lots of core i5 systems that can go for 60k. They also carry 500GB HDD and 4GB RAM.

However, Android Development and entry level video editing will require at least 1GB Dedicated video memory.

In fact for smoother rendering and seamless graphics processing you will need a PC with 2GB Dedicated memory...

In the light if this, you should increase your budget to about 85,000 Naira.

Recommend: Dell Latitude E6420, Core i5, 500GB /4GB with 1GB NVIDIA Graphics.

Hello,my Asus sometimes shows a certain Blue Screen error then restarts and also says something like AMD display error... please what could be the problem

Hi.
There's a possibility that the display driver might be obsolete -Update it here>>> https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X555LD/HelpDesk/

Or here>>> https://www.asus.com/support/#

Once you're on these pages, you'll be required to select your system model, os and processor. Thereafter s list of drivers appear from which you'll select the display drivers–download and install.

Before installing, you will uninstall the previous driver by going to device manager, then click on display adapter, in the drop down select the AMD adapter, then R-click >>Uninstall - make sure the "delete driver for this device" box is checked.

*Cheers*
