Thanks..how do I do the USB tethering
Hello.
USB tethering is pretty simple to set up .

Just plug your phone to your computer using a USB cable. On your phone >go to settings >go to "tethering and portable hotspot" > locate USB tethering and mark it... The rest is automatic.

*Cheers*

Plz help, the wireless functions of my HP mini laptop suddenly stopped working. Internet modem won't connect on it, it won't see hot-spot devices, and even Bluetooth stopped functioning. What do I do pls
Hello.
*check if the Wi-Fi switch is on, could be by the side (right or left) or front side.

* The Wi-Fi card has probably gone bad- if so, you're going to replace it. Or in rare cases where the Wi-Fi card will not work even after replacement, you'll have to get a Wi-Fi adapter.

Help. Just recently I bought a new system running on windows 10 enterprise. The problem is that the laptop does not have WiFi. I downloaded the drivers manually in my phone and installed it but still the network adapter refuses to work. When I go to troubleshoot,it tells me Ethernet cable not connected. I need this system for internet use, and network reception on my modem is very poor.
Hello,
If your phone runs on Android, you can use the USB tethering feature to share Internet with your Laptop via a USB cable.

Once connected, go to https://drp.su/en and check for your drivers.

If his doesn't still work, not to worry. You can get a Wi-Fi Adapter (about NGN5000) for it.

However, the if it shows that the Wi-Fi is on but not seeing any hotshot, it could be that the antenna isn't plugged in properly (or not at all). But this is highly unlikely.

It's not the end of the road...

It's a notebook and not a workstation, so you can't remove it easily.

To replace it, you need an infrared BGA rework Station, that cost over #200k, most engineers don't use it.

The best option is to get another motherboard.
... and even if it can be done, the cost will be highly discouraging... grin

Hello everyone.

In this forum, I have come across too many power related problems. Although these problems didn't damage the hardware of the system but they did corrupt the OS... Badly.


So, here's a word of caution

Ensure there's enough power before formatting or updating your laptop. Also when you're installing Softwares with too many protocols. At least be generous enough to keep your battery running!

Here's what you don't want
>>>your software not installing (this is painful) and your OS crashing (this is even more painful) <<<

*thanks*

pls help ooo.. though have asked this same question but didn't get any solution.. got a laptop having window 10 .After sometime it shows I shld update it, which I tried doing but the rate at which it consumes my data is just to much.. so my questions are, is there any other way I can update it or minimize the rate at which it consumes my data??
Hi there...

There's one sure way I was able to disable mine and that is by tweaking the registry...

Let me tell you before hand, that
1. the article is long. So if you aren't a PC person, just give someone your laptop to help in following the guidelines.

2. This registry hack is not so complicated but you should also be careful, don't try what you don't know!

So shall we?

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

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- [b] tweaking the registry[b/]


So, here we go >

Press Win key+R > in the run box (I need a better name), 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 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.

*If you still experience huge data consumption after the above tweak, then you can go ahead with your downgrade...

To downgrade, you'll need a copy of Windows on DVD or flash drive.

Ofourse, to create a bootable DVD or flash go here:

https://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm

Then here's how to format to win 8:

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-clean-install-windows-8-or-8-1-2626254

Backup your files before the downgrade

... and of course if you ever want to save yourself the whole stress of following a long tutorial - just hola on 08128714767 - I'm on WhatsApp.

Please help.

My HP envy TouchPad is problematic..


It stops on its own accord, I checked on the drivers list in device manager and I can't find the hardware..

It's not a hardware problem.

I keep reinstalling the driver, I don't know what to do.
.
Hi, there...

Dis one that you're writing in red ink grin


Try these:
1. Do a restore on your system

[I] The link below is from the tech and gadgets section of the BT site discussing system restore. I figured it'll be useful[/I]

http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/windows-10/how-to-fix-windows-10-problems-with-system-restore-11364008291943

Or

2. Use the "reset your PC" option - you'll find a guide in the same link above.

There's one issue though, win 10 does not automatically create restore point. So, if restore points aren't available, then option 2 is way to go.

undecided And yes, it might be a hardware issue. A faulty keyboard or a keyboard that's about to fail can cause your track pad to stop occasionally.

Ps: when you say "touch pad", guess you don't mean the touch screen...

As always, going through lengthy articles can be time consuming. Should you need any help, just Holla on WhatsApp on 08128714767.

How can I reload the operating system ,,, u mean my hard disc might have spoiled??
Hello.
... No, your hard disk should still be OK. However the blue screen might be as a result of a corrupt operating system,i.e the window is corrupt. So "reloading" it means putting another operating system-Putting another window and wiping the old one.

During the process of putting another window, all data on your hard disk is lost- so you'll have to backup your important files before the format.

So, to reload your operating system,
You'll need:
A windows installation disk or flash drive.

An external hard drive casing- this is where you'll put your hard drive from your computer to copy your files to another laptop.

An external hard drive - where you'll copy your important files to.

A screw driver - to loose your laptop and take out the HDD.

A set of drivers -to install the required drivers.


So the process is

Back up your files> Format your laptop > install drivers >pit back your files.

I use the same laptop and I run Adobe After effect on it.

All you have to do is increase the RAM, since the laptop uses 2 ram slot just get another 4gb which will cost you #4k depending on the seller.

I believe yours doesn't have a dedicated memory and I believe it only hang when you run Adobe cc
Nice hearing from a user. If it worked for your PC, it should work for his.

Please how can I get to boot menu (bios) on my Brian laptop av used all the action keys plus esc and delete
Oh!
I forgot to remind you, that BIOS (setup) is different from the BOOT menu.

The BOOT menu only displays a list of boot devices.

... and here is what BIOS is...
BIOS - B asic I nput, O utput S ystem is the program a personal computer's microprocessor uses to get the computer system started after you turn it on. It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer.

That definition was gotten from tech target.

Pheeww... That was a looong reminder cheesy

Hello there,
Getting to the boot menu of "off brand" laptops can be a bit tricky.
First is the fact that they're not popular, so you're less likely to get help for these systems.

Second, I'd like to tell you that brands like Acer, Asus, older versions of Toshiba , Fujitsu , Brian, Gateway , e-machines may require that you enable the F12 boot menu from the setup .

Generally, you can get to setup by pressing the F2 key upon start up.
Now that you're in the setup, using the arrow keys, navigate to the part that says "general" or "main" or something of a similar nature. Under these headings are a list of items- most of which you shouldn't care about grin
what you're looking for is the part that says the F12 BOOT MENU IS DISABLED Once you've seen it toggle it (using the arrow keys) to "enable". Hit THE F10 key to save changes.

Now upon start up, hit the F12 key to access the boot menu.
let's see if it worked.

*cheers *
