Hello @gantiano

So, 2 issues here

1. A bad keyboard, and
2. You need access to the system and copy out some files.

Sorry about this, you know sh1t do happen and its unfortunate this happened to and couldn't be resolved after wasting your time and money.

One thing about electronic is that, there is no room for mistake, if you don't do it the right way then its gone.

Even professionals do mistake but going by what you said, I think you gave your system to a quack.
It won't take up to 30mins to fix a laptop screen successfully as long as the engineer do what's necessary.

With what is happening to your system now, that's a symptom of a bad screen, bad flex or screen not getting the right voltage.

We still have good engineers(technicians) in ikeja.

There are good Technicians in Ikeja cool

woooow nice, I appreciate but can 3gig RAM or 148gb good enough for WordPress, Photoshop etc? or do I need to update them?

The 3GB RAM is good enough for wordpress. but with photoshop, you need to make it 4GB RAM. With photoshop, you'll need a little more than 160GB Hard Disk because of your finished works.

Whats the processor of your system?

Computers › Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 8:54pm On Oct 05, 2018*

Nizguy:
good evening boss, my laptop is HP pavilion and its RAM and hardware are 3.00gig and 148gig respectively but right now is hanging (I can't play or watch a video without it hanging) so what could be the problem? if it's to update RAM how many gig RAM should I buy? and as for the hardware, is it okay?

Hi there.

Lets paraphrase a bit.

So you have a HP Pavilion with a 3GB RAM and 148GB (160GB) Hard disk that has started acting slow recently even while watching videos.

Well the 3GB RAM is good enough for little tasks like watching videos. However, your current situation might be caused by a clogged up hard disk or a failing hard disk hard disk as a result of prolonged usage.

Solution:....Start by defragmenting your hard disk.

Quickly, before you do that, you will check the health of your hard disk by going here: https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php
Once on that site, download the HdSentinel, PRO version>>unzip the file (right click> extract to >select desktop)> double click the setup file to install. After installation, the software is expected to start automatically showing the hard drive health and temperature.

So, How do we defragment,

Choose Start→Control Panel→System and Security >>The Administrative Tools window appears.
Click Defragment Your Hard Drive >>The Disk Defragmenter dialog box appears.

Click the Analyze Disk button --This step checks whether your disk requires defragmenting.

A drive with 10 percent or more fragmentation should be defragmented.

(If you’ve been using your computer for a while, the drive may show 50 percent fragmentation or more.)

When the analysis is complete, click the Defragment Disk button.
A notation displays the progress of defragmenting your drive.

When the defragmenting process is complete, the Disk Defragmenter dialog box shows that your drive no longer requires defragmenting
.............

The above writeup in italic was copied from dummies.com

.............

If you find the health to be 40% or less, then you should consider replacing the hard disk.

A more drastic measure will be to re-install the OS...I want to believe it hast gotten to that yet.

*Cheers*

Hi, so a friend of mine has a Laptop (Windows 7), he asked me to re-install windows while keeping files cos the PC was running kinda slow and cos he didnt wanted to lose important files.
Now, after installing Win 7 agin, going to the Windows.old folder for me to access the old files, i discovered that some of the files were shown in green (i.e. encryted).
I tried disabling encrypting services and decrypting but the issue still keeps poppping up.
Pls what can be done? the guy doesnt rememyber the encrption key anymore

Hi.
Have you installed the programmes necessary for viewing those files?

*Cheers*

ePrive:
A lot of things could have caused that.....

- saving to the same drive you're recovering from
- new data overwriting previous ones
- the recovery software....etc.

Spot on!

That's likely the mistake that was made...

Enasdan:
after the formatting the system, some files that were permanently deleted were able to been retrieve using data recovery software but they refuse to open, they are now in shortcuts, that's the challenge,

Hello Enasdan.

You'll have to run the recovery software again. This time you're gonna need another laptop; an external hard drive casing and a copy of the setup of the recovery software

You're going to put your laptops hard drive in the external HDD casing and insert via USB into the other laptop, Install the recovery software and run it. Allow the process to complete. You may save recovered files onto the C: drive.

Once done, you can copy recovered Docs onto a flash drive.

You can now move the hard drive into your computer. Boot up, then copy Docs IN FLASH onto your laptop.

Another LOONG process, sad

but it'll be well worth it.

*Cheers*

Select folder, then click on view.
Under advanced setting, select show hidden folder and click on OK.

Search for task scheduler
Open it, click on task scheduler library.
Locate Adobe folder and rename it to dot old.
E.g Adobe.old

Click on OK, then go back and install your Adobe.

If you have a good internet connection, the installation should complete. Once complete, restart your system.

No. You can't.

Ok, I know you're thinking, maybe there's a rig- a hack or something grin

Well, don't bother. Tried several and didnt get the full power of the GTA5...did tons of registry sh*** Had to re-install my OS in the end.

So @otiwisdom, re-install your OS to a 64-bit version and enjoy GTA in full force!! cool

baba11:
Who knows the solution to this issues.

Hello @baba11

Usually a system restore should fix this.

system restore is a process whereby you return your computer to a date where it worked fine. Some cal it a roll back

However in such cases where system restore does not work or fails, the user will have no choice other than to opt for a last resort by backing up their data and perform a clean install.--This is your case.

*Cheers*

Ujpest:
Greetings... Please, I need some help from you guys... What could make the touch screen of an LG Tab book, H160 series to stop working? But, the tab book works perfectly with a mouse... Thanks

Hello Ujpest.

A few things that could make your touchscreen non-functional:

1. The touchscreen might be dead...literally...yes, every thing does have a lifespan. So,it's probably reached its end point.

2. The flex leading to/from the touchscreen might be damaged. Chances are you will not be able to get the flex,so getting the touchscreen to work again may not be possible.

3. Outdated drivers is also a factor. If you've recently updated your OS, the drivers might still be the same old GPIO drivers which might need some updating.

Your best bet in solving this kind of a problem is to go to the manufacturer site, head over to their drivers and support pages where you will identify your system. Thereafter a list of drivers for your device are listed.feom there, you will download and install the touchscreen driver.

*Cheers*

Jaymin007:
Good day guys..
Please I can't access my applications in my Hp laptop. I get an error message that says ".exe is not a valid win32 application", and the size of the applications are all zero byte. any flash drive inserted also get corrupted (it creates a duplicate folder of all the folders in the flash drive, and the duplicate folder is named application).
I really need to fix this please... I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello Jaymin007

This is clearly a virus issue- your system has been infected.

The only way out is to scan your laptop with an antivirus programme. If you use Windows 10, an updated Windows defender should do a good job.

However if you use Windows 7 or 8, you will need to download or install an antivirus programme to scan your PC.

There's every chance you'll loose the infected files as the virus is being taken care of.

If scanning your PC with a good and updates yields no meaningful result, a last resort will be to format your system-i.e wipe your hard drive completely and have a fresh start.

After the format, you are to install a very good antivirus programme, update it before inserting any external storage device.

*Cheers*
