Digitron:
Hello Everyone, My laptop is struck on desktop. it boots and gets to desktop but i cant click on any icon. please what do i do
There are several possibilities,but one comes to mind when issues like this occur


HARD DISK : if it only slows down while navigating the desktop and other apps, then a simple defragmentation would have solved the issue. Also freeing up some space would have done some tricks.
However in this situation, the computer gets stuck on desktop i.e you're not able to do anything whatsoever! The hard disk is probably gone. shocked

My Pc settings cant open anymore aftre i cleaned up my pc.I dont have back up as im being requested to cos it keeps saying some files are missing while trying to recover them.Even my recycle bin is empty .I need help pls its been on for over a week.windows 8 hp.
Hi LadySarah.

First, I'd like you to boot into safe mode by pressing F8 just after pressing the power button during start up. Can you access settings in safe mode?

If yes, then it means you may have changed certain things to get something working or messed arround with your settings.

However, if that's not the case, the only solution is to use command prompt or tinker with the registry (could make matters worse if you ain't the techy type).

Finally, the best solution is to re-install the windows 8.

The re-install will be a clean install , this means we're wiping everything out and getting a new Windows 8 in.

*cheers*


I can help do all that for a token

[installation + drivers + basic programmes + Antivirus]

hello, please i need help.

i always get the notification "your windows will expire soon" and when i followed the instructions it asked for "product key" and i dont have it because i bought it off someone.

please any way to fix this problem?

thanks.

windows 8 version.
Hello. You will need a tiny piece of software to activate your PC. You do not need to worry about product keys anymore. It does all the insertions!!

If you can make time to come to computer village, you can get one of them guys selling software DVD to help.

Once he's done activating, show some love by offering some tip (200N to 500N isn't bad)

Thereafter with a big grin on your face, ask them to give you the CD/DVD from where they got the Softwares. grin grin - - Thank me later.

The SWITZ BRAND OF ANTIVIRUS +INTERNET SECURITY

Computer Market › Strong Antivirus For Both Online And Offline Protection by Razak5(op): 4:18pm On Jul 05, 2018
Hello.

Let's cut to the chase.
I'm writing to sell you our new range of Antivirus and online anti-malware : SWITZ Antivirus +Internet security.

What do you get after installing this piece of software on your PC?

Protection from online threats /attacks : duh! what Antivirus doesn't do that? Well every Antivirus does! But SWITZ does is better yet does not put load on your system. Fast, easy to run and efficient.

Protect from new abandoned unpopular strains : so, all Antiviruses are expected to automatically update and give you the latest virus definitions, SWITZ beats that expectation by having over 85,000,000 strains in its database... We're still looking counting.

Simple + User centred - No complex navigations or some heavy background processes. Yet a complex approach to giving protection.
It's easy to install.

My verdict? Buy it grin

Single User=N= 5000 (1 extra activation) so you can use for 2 laptops.

3 users =N= 8000.

Call or WhatsApp on 08128714767.

*Cheers*

Hi,my hp laptop model HP G60-235DX just stopped working. I was told the motherboard has been affected. What do I do now pls?
Hello.

The issue here is this, was it the engineer that told your that ? If yes, I want to assume that there was an extensive diagnoses carried out on the laptop before arriving at such conclusion.

The way out will be to replace the motherboard.

*Cheers*

No, i had to reset the computer setting,
It all started when i tried to install bluetooth driver, i followed every steps i saw on some youtube but all to no avail.
When i run the device manager i usually see error box and when i check further, the properties error says the driver can not run command 10.
I dont know what it means.
pls how do i go about this.
Thank you so much.
Let me paraphrase,
Were you able to use the USB Ports before now?

If yes, then you will need to update your USB drivers.

If no, then the hardware(the ports themselves) itself might be faulty.

You made mention of installing the Bluetooth drivers... Well, you'll have to uninstall these drivers. Then reinstall with the appropriate driver.

Thanks boss, I'm just entering one trouble or the other. I have resulted to installing windows 10, i just hope it won't be like that.
Congrats grin welcome to another adventure... Guess you love adventures. I hope you recover from the excitement.

For win 10,the only issue is that you'll be needing drivers for every goddamn hardware on that laptop.

Remember, as they say= "if the computer ain't the problem, you're the problem"

Advise: do not format to Windows10 yet. I feel if you look long and hard enough at your problem with the current OS, you'll find a solution. [list the issues]

Finally, dis one you are formatting up and dan, me I have Hard disk to sell oo grin oya do and Come and buy (cheap price) grin

Don't mind me, what I just said is that you risk crashing your HDD (risk increases with each format).

So list dem issues, so we see of they are resolvable. Formatting is only a last resort.

Well, .NetFramework is a software on it's own that you will need to download and install on your PC.

In the google search bar, type ".netframework 4.6". From the list of search result, click on the one that links to Microsoft website. Download from there- virus free.

kodded:
so guys I want to ask if a laptop motherboard can be fried even if the led light close to the charging port comes on when charging the laptop




NB the power switch is bad, so I want to know if its worth buying a new power switch or just abandoning the laptop
Duuuuhhhh, cheesy
The led light should definitely come on, for some time (if there isn't any battery) and should remain stable or change to Amber to indicate charging (when there's battery).

Regarding the power switch, you can only be sure if you assemble your system completely, then you test with the new power switch, if it comes on, displays and functions properly then you're sure the board is OK, then you can pay for the power switch

Pls people can i be pointed to a trusted site where I can download a compatible network adapter (driver) for my computer(HP Probook 4430s) BIOS: HP 68SRR Very. F .23. Thanks. Cheers!!!!
Ok, so now we know it's probook grin dis one you were hiding the name like dis...

Head over to drp.su/en
Once at the site, you are expected to download a tiny program. This program scans through the hardware and generates a list of matching drivers.

You will have 2 options, first will be to automatically install/configure the drivers, and second is to install them individually- this is known as expert mode

Once you are in expert mode, you are to uncheck every other driver except the wireless driver.

Then click install.

Thanks bro, it was disc, but luckily the windows has installed(I tried another disc and made some changes in BIOS).Bro, another issue has started(this time the network is cancelled and i tried updating the driver but it's saying my drivers are up-to-date). Thanks in anticipation of your reply. Cheers!!!
There are 2 types.

Identify your case In the picture below (1st pix as 1, 2nd pix as 2)

Meanwhile, if your Elitebook has a panell, just above the keyboard, then the Wi-Fi might have been turned off. Toggle the Wi-Fi light by pressing the amber light that shows Wi-Fi logo.

The panel carries several other indicators

Hello.
@qhallifa, I want to believe that this format is the third shocked shocked

Well, I'll advise this to be the last.


Now, what boot device did you use for the first two consecutive installations?

From the pix, that looks like an Elitebook whose drivers are very popular and easy (not easy attimes) and straight forward to install...

If you eventually get to format it, I'll be able to install the drivers, the. NET framework and related programs for a token amount.

Qhalifah:
So, my trouble started from buying a new harddrive in my laptop, I did the needful(installing windows{windows 7 ultimate} and driving the drivers), then I realized the Bluetooth and modem were not working ( not well drives), so I used different driver pack including driver booster, but it still didn't work. So, I just gave up cry and decided to install the apps I needed(coreldrawx8) and that was how another problem envisaged (You require Microsoft.Net 4.6 for app to work). Fast forward to google,(I started looking for Microsoft.Net 4.6) I saw Microsoft.Net 4.6 but it didn't download. I gave up cry again and decided I was going to install another windows( I formatted everything and started fresh{this time windows 7 professional}). I finished everything and again another issue crept in lipsrsealed(this time, Bluetooth-not working, other devices-not working, network adapter-not working and also not showing at all in device manager.{after series of troubleshooting and researching it showed[view-show hidden files] but still didn't work}I used driver packs to drive it but I was a message that my drivers are up-to-date, which isn't true{would have used network booster but I can't connect to internet cos of the network adapter issue}). I decided load the windows one last time, and during the installation it cancelled by itself and on trying again it resulted to this page. I have also tried to go to the boot options and make changes but its going to the bootmgr page. Pls. Kindly help me(anyone and everyone.) Cheers!!!!

Thanks for the reply, in other words 'replacement battery' means fake or what? Plus how long can the replacement battery last for?
Obviously, it lasts less longer than the manufacturers battery.
Max you can practically achieve with a replacement battery is 1hr30 min to 1hr50min. Double cell is about 3hrs30min to 3hrs43min in practical terms.

In theory it's 2hrs and 4hrs for single cell and double cell respectively.

Manufacturers battery goes for 2hrs 50min to 3hr 00min in practical terms. Double cell lasts for about 5hrs15mins to 5hrs50mins.

In theory it's 4hrs and 8hrs for single cell and double cell respectively.

Replacement batteries aren't fake. These are batteries that are manufactured with a low capacity Li-Ion Cells so that

1. There is an easy replacement for those laptops whose models have been phased out and whose batteries cannot not be found from the manufacturer.

2. Laptops whose batteries cost almost half the price of the laptop. Users of such laptops would rather opt for the replacements as against going for the manufacturers'. Think, why would you buy a PC for NGN40000 and the battery is almost NGN22500? undecided

3. Those who wouldn't mind spending less can still get battery for their laptops with cells that hold power that lasts long enough for a prolonged back-up and shutdown before power goes out- for those who have electricity most of the time.


... Well the issue of fake or original is relative... Usually fakes are overpriced and they underdeliver. Also their lifespan is about half the time the real stuff lives.

... I know your next question >>>buy from a known source <<< besides you're given a max of 2 weeks to run the battery to see if it meets the minimum amount of hours...

*cheers *

Yea right... Adventure gone sour grin grin it's happened to me several times... Only 3 times actually. 2 of which I had to re-install the operating system. If you had backed up your registry, all you had to do would've been too restore the registry and you're good.
