please how do I change the HDD to AHCI from the current IDE. This is what I'm seeing

Hi, been off since two days... Phone had issues.

From the screenshots, its ialready on AHCI. I think you should explore other options.

Good evening. I bought a touchscreen laptop but the person who sold it to me said the touchscreen stopped working after he tried updating he win 10. The touchscreen works only in recovery mode.

It's an HP m6 x360 laptop.

Hello.

You can enable the touch from the BIOS.

Get into BIOS by pressing F10 during start up > look "system devices" or a corresponding name (because the name might be different depending song in the BIOS version)

You will see a list of devices including the touch(possibly disabled), Enable it.


A sure fire way to get the touch working is to download the driver from the manufacturers site

Visit hp.com then navigate to the "support and drivers tab". From there you can get a list of the drivers for your laptop by putting in the system name and series in the box provided. >download and install the driver only the display driver.

Don't forget that your laptop model looks like this ;
Hp m6-e00nia. Find yours at the bottom of the laptop. Another way to find it is to press F1 during startup. You can also find this in system information by typing "msinfo32" in the search bar and then pressing "enter".

*cheers*

windows 10

Let's try this first

Before you try any of the following methods, be sure that there are no external devices (USB +mouse+modems etc) attached. Also be sure there is no DVD in the drive. If at all there are any attachments, remove them including the DVD then restart your laptop... Voila!! This might just be your fix...

So, let's proceed...

Power on your PC, start pressing the F10 button repeatedly to access the BIOS. Wetin you dey find for here? . Well, once you're in the BIOS, you're to change the HDD to AHCI from the current IDE. Save changes then restart.

Surprisingly there's an easy fix, keep reading

Usually there's a self fix that's done once you boot into safe mode . What this means is that once you're able to boot into safe mode and you restart your laptop, this issue is resolved.

So, power off the PC > power on and start pressing F8 or shift+F8 you'll be taken to the advanced boot menu where you'll select "safe mode". [in safe mode, your laptop boots normally except this time with minimal drivers]

Now once you're in, you're going to simply restart your laptop normally. You're done!

If the problem persists,

Then boot into safe mode again but this time you'll have to download IDE ATA/SATA controller driver for hp Elitebook 8460p. Once you're done, reboot. That's it.

*cheers*

The sentence is "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICES"

Is that a win 8 or 10?

Uc7mille7:
my Samsung laptop is only power with Light if I insert battery it will
won't power if plug with charger it write battery charging and battery percentage dosent increase

Hi.

So let's break this down

* Laptop doesn't power on battery

* Laptop powers only when you plug in the charger

* Laptop indicates "plugged in, charging" when you move the mouse to the battery icon.

Try with another battery. Preferably a new battery or a known working battery and a known working charger

Observe battery icon carefully (by moving the mouse over the battery icon) for the following;

*plugged in, charging = battery was bad, charger is ok.

*plugged in, not charging = try another battery; if same, try another charger. Well if it's still same thing, then the charger is bad.

*plugged in charging (you observe it's not increasing) =
So battery is ok, charger is ok then it's from the board.
Don't forget that we were using working battery and charger for this whole process.

Hope this helps.

*cheers*

How much does it cost?

AustineAlex:
What is written there is "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart, we'll restart it for you" it keeps on restarting and showing this

Hi, AustineAlex.

Kindly type the sentence carrying the error code under the error message.

no worries, this is solvable

Thanks.

lordtim001:
Thanks man
Do you also have the mouse trackpad for the same dv4? I have been using USB mouse all this while

Yea. I do

lordtim001:
Yeah bro. Real crazy upgrade
My dream laptop is over a thousand dollars. I can tweak my current system and get up to 18 months extra out of it before it gets slow again
Thanks for the reply
It was 2GB RAM before. I upgraded to 4GB 4 months ago now I need 8GB. When I was upgrading, I had 8GB(4GB *2) in mind but the guy told me the same thing that it isn't common. I found some from Alibaba for 7-10 dollars per stick but shipping is the problem. I'll check Jumia sha

But that battery though... 1hr 50 minutes is kinda low. I don't have light issues for now. And my current battery lasts 30 minutes to 45 minutes. But I'm relocating to a place where electricity is not very good so I need a good backup. Like 3 hours at least

Regarding the battery, 1hr50min is what replacement batteries will give. But, batteries from the manufacturer give at least 3hrs to 4hrs.

While the former costs about NGN5,500 to NGN6,500, The latter costs almost twice the amount- NGN13,500.

As for the upgrade, hope you've researched on the compatibility - y'know, maximum RAM, etc

lordtim001:
I need the following
4GB * 2 DDR2 RAM sticks
Intel Core 2 duo T9600/9800 processor
HP dv4 battery

Any certified seller here and how much would all cost? Within Lagos though.....

Hmmm... Some crazy upgrade is about to happen

No. 1 is not common - l don't have it. had 2 pieces back in the day, would have swapped them for today.

No. 2 is a 2.9GHz speed- budget 5k

No.3 is 6,5k (guaranty is 1hr 50 mins)

Please help some of my programs on my HP laptop is displaying Microsoft word icon. Even when I click on google chrome it automatically opens Microsoft word. Anything I click Microsoft word will open. Help.

Hello...

Hmmm... Dis one is strong

Here are options you can explore

*Run a full virus scan on your PC - Let's be sure they're not the one (virus-trojan)

* Your default program settings might also be a culprit. There was a time I was trying to set VLC as my default media app, we'll I didn't make my selections correctly, I highlighted a lot of stuff (web page, docs, notes, etc). So each time I click on a page I downloaded, VLC opens. Or when I open word doc, VLC opens!!! Funke!!!

* If all else fails, you'll backup your files then re-install your operating system.

BTW, when the Microsoft Word opens, does the program you clicked also open?

*cheers*

Hello everyone....

If you're a serious gamer or graphics person, then anything decent can be a minimum of 250k and above.
Usually the cleaner and slimmer, the more expensive...

So, If you're on strict Budget, focus on the spec. I bet you saw similar spec on some other laptops but perhaps they weren't ergonomic or sleek enough so you were like naaaaaaaahhh

While I'm not saying you should go for cargo laptops, do not also loose sight on the budget and the spec.

How good is
HP Pavilion X360 Intel Pentium Quad Core, 11.6-inch ( 4GB RAM 500GB HDD,Windows 10+32GB FLASH

Hello

Check the list of below

1. Word processing (Microsoft Word and other office packages)

2. Basic photo editing (corel draw, photoshop, fireworks,) you can't do much with video editing except you want to run light Softwares that perform simple tasks like cut and paste.

3.. Surfing the Internet ( run more than 2 browsers, open multiple tabs)

4. Watching movies. (depending on the type of player - I prefer VLC- you can play virtually any format without any lag)

5. Being a Quad Core, you can run multiple Softwares (that meet minimum spec) decently

6. Basic games run really smooth. Logic games like ultra HD chess and scrabble will run with a very great level of visuals. Same with PES 17 or PES 16 or lower. Other less demanding action games can equally be squeezed in

7.Battery shouldn't be an issue. If you're getting brand new, 4 hours battery life is guaranteed. However the guarantee falls to 2 hours with a UK used.

8. 11.6 inch is really, I mean really portable. So if movement is your thing, then that size is perfect. Yes, perfect.

I think it's only fair that I mention to you what the laptop cannot do.

So I'm repeating 1 to 8 again but with the other side of the coin. So, look at No. 1 to 8 then see the corresponding other side... here we go

1. While it's a office processing junkie and can run even advanced accounting software, it will not run advanced Softwares like Matlab that span over 11GB to 25GB of program size.

2. Thank God I said "basic", because anything higher or advanced will cripple the performance.

3. No questions on this one... It's a perfect tool for this.

4. Again, no questions... A perfect tool.

5. Ok, soo there's a limit to quad cores too. While you can open 2 to 4 programmes at a time, try a fifth or 6th, then you would have pushed it beyond its limit.

6. Aside those basic gaming stuff, anything needing a dedicated video memory will not even run.

7. No, nothing like 5hrs or 6hrs except if all you do is stare at the laptop all day I hope you understand.

8. 11.6 inch...hope you are aware of this size, it fits virtually any medium bag... So it's a highly portable device. So, no big screen.

*cheers*

VGA problem, did you update the display adapter driver? If yes uninstall it if no then fault from motherboard, reballing the VGA chip can bring it back to life.

True.

We updated the BIOS!!

And no! This isn't my link.

Let me warn though - that there are more techy aspects which you may not be able to carry out either due to limited knowledge or sheer fear of risk - Know what you're doing.... DIY at your own risk.

Abajosax007:
ok.. ill try to describe it as best as I can. it happens any time I'm reading with on the laptop or if im not pressing any buttons. its like the laptop is rebooting or its refreshed,.. I hope you get it

This is a problem with too many start up processes or too many services auto starting in the background.

So what you have is a system trying to refresh after a services has been started.

This usually happens after a prolonged usage of the OS, you probably bought the system with the OS already installed... (how could you have known)

Funny thing is, a virus might not be responsible!!!

Back up your files, and Re-install (format) your operating system. Your PC needs some fresh start.

your other way out would have been to start turning each services on or off or tweaking some background processes, but this one na ișé áíyé (ask your yoruba friends)

*cheers*

Abajosax007:
i ran a full scan with it and though it detected some malware and deleted them, I still experience interruptions when using my laptop. only my windows defender was able to detect it but couldn't delete it even though I had just updated my 360 to the latest update available.

Ok, now you're saying something - " interruption

What kind of interruption? Is there an error message?

Abajosax007:
wow!!... are there any other way around formatting

You said you used 360 total security, how did you use it?

Good morning house, i tried switching on my system today, but immediately it comes up it shuts down without booting. Please what could be the problem and a possible solution. Its a dell inspiron

Hi.
Does the Dell logo appear?

udemzyudex:
Just format or reinstall the operating system if you don't want to go through all the wahala.

Or maybe one more wahala before he formats

Here: update the virus database of your 360, then scan.

Or final wahala

Here: disable the 360 Antivirus. Scan using the win defender... The defender is expected to automatically update...

Too much wahala already I'm out

bestguycheat:
Please which is the. Best budget laptop, with good battery life and better performance at the rate of 100k,,
Brand new, please I need your suggestions guys

Hello.
Brand new HP 15, Intel Pentium, 500gb HDD and 4GB RAM with at least 3 hrs battery life.

Thats the best you can get for brand new for that amount.

Any brand new core i3 or i5 for that amount is either refurbished or stolen - so be careful how you choose!
