I would suggest you take your computer to a technician if you don't know how to safely remove/install your hard drive. If you're in Lagos you may call She She on 080 23897867

Thanks so much all of you who have answered my question.God will replenish ur reservoir of knowledge ijn.Skydancer,i forgot to mention dt ads usually pop up during browsing.So which type of antivirus would you recommend that i should get on the system and should i forget abt formatting the system? i will be expecting your answers asap

Did you try running System Restore yet? Your system is clearly infected by Adware.

enet1:
Goodmorning skydancer and all the computer gurus and the contributors onhis thread,May the good lord bless and replenish all your efforts. I use a HP elitebook intel core i5 laptop 250 gb of HDD and 2gb RAM,i got it last yr september,but for 2 0r 3 months now,it has been hanging and gettin slow so so much especially when i browse on the internet,pls what do you guys advise that i do to make it functional very well as b4? i use free antivirus on it and there is free space of 143gb on the local disk.i was tinking of either formatting the system or buyin an original norton antivirus on it.Pls i need professional advice on which step to take cuz i dont want the system to crash finally. If i will format it, how much do they format laptop in computer village.God bless you all in advance.

Hi Enet, you don't need to format your laptop if it's just only being slow. It is possible that your system has been infested with spyware/adware (although you don't seem to mention having problems with ads while browsing). First try using system restore and if it doesn't work, you can come back here and provide more information that can help diagnose your pc. You could also email me directly if you want us to speak.

Cheers.

Hi everyone, listen closely. Have you ever been in a hackathon before? For starters, a hackathon is basically an event where real stuff is done within a short time while sacrificing sleep and risking possible brain overheating. I'm privileged to be part of a group planning the world's first most strategic virtual hackathon on Education ever and it will not end in 3 days, because it is designed to be a phenomena.

The power of group thinking and brainstorming can never be overemphasized and a virtual hackathon removes all the barriers you can think of, allowing you to mix with different people all over the globe, hack together and develop working solutions in a short time.

Our first edition named 10x10 Virtual Hackathon will make your brain groan and grow under the stress of brainstorming, multiple git commits and spasmodic online meetings.

If you want to learn how to work in virtual teams, learn a new wide set of tools and resources or possibly take away winning prizes and media coverage, there's no better opportunity for you
Sounds interesting?

Whether you're a programmer or entrepreneur, you can apply right away on http://f6s.com/10x10virtualhackathon-2014#/apply and share with others.

You can learn more about the event at http://www.virtualhackathons.com Whether you're a team or an individual, we will put you in a strategic team where you will HACK EDUCATION together with people from different regions and culture. You will be notified if you're accepted by 7/8th of October. Remember to read up the schedule on our website and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Well, although the twitter handle looks suspicious, it's quite authentic, and it doesn't seem that this is a fake unless of course it was hacked... But we still need to be on tougher lookout, if BokoHaram ever regroups again, it would be deadlier

Dlordisgreat1: Many thanks, i have ownership proof.

Contact me by email if you still haven't found help.

donigspain: My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty.

ORIGINAL KEYBOARD FAULT
- All the keys work except keys A S D F G Z C.
- Key Z repeats itself multiple times once you boot to desktop. Stop only when you hit the keyboard a little.

I was advised to get a new keyboard which I went for yesterday at Computer Village. I tried many keyboards but they kept repeating the following error sequence:
- All keys respond when punched
- Key Z no longer repeats itself
- When you press key A it displays AZ, key S displays SX, key D displays DC etc. and these are the keys that DON'T WORK in the original keyboard.

The technician cleaned the Keyboard Controller on the motherboard with brush (no spirit) and tried the keyboards again but it still repeated same errors. He now concluded that the Keyboard Controller is faulty and cannot be changed. I only have to make do with external keyboards.

MAIN-POINT:
Engineers in the house, what do you think of the above situation.
- Is the technician's diagnosis/troubleshooting correct?
- If yes, is the keyboard controller fixable/repairable?
- If yes, what will it cost me to fix it?

The techician's diagnosis is correct. Here's what I will personally suggest to advice if your problem is an OS problem. Instead of booting your PC in modal mode, use the typical fix startup problems or any other mode that will quickly allow you to boot into a shell. Such as 'repair my computer'. Check if problem is present, and if it's not, then you could try using system restore or at least we can find a way to remove whatever malware may be responsible for the problem.

If however, the problem is reproduced in this mode, then it may be a bios problem like Deji suggested (assuming your installed keyboard is compatible with your PC). Hopefully you would be able to easily update your Bios.

Dlordisgreat1: Dear computer gurus,

Come to my aid, i changed my system password few days ago, i have been using my former password for long, changed it due to my siblings, they too love games, i don't use it since then, i ON it now, but it giving me incorrect password, tried all possible passwords, all effort has been proved abortive,
Now, i am trying to reset the password, i insert my flashdrive, it saying the disk is not a password reset disk,
please all, come to my aid, am dying, i can't afford to lose all my files. Formatting is not an option.
Please!!!!!!
Acer core i3, windows 8.

Thanks in anticipation.

Eh, there're many ways around this. You can hack it if you can get a good engineer around you and you have ownership proof. Simple way with anyone available however is to simply install another OS and retrieve your original files using admin mode.

Ebola can be cured with Vitamin C

In fact, it would most likely be killed by any anti-oxidant based treatment as reactive oxygen can lead to death of infected cells.

Also search for any anti-viral drug, you will most likely find it's anti-oxidant

Hmmm, it's interesting that this thread is resurrected at this time. The Igbo civilization is a typical example of a lost civilization. Think Nsibidi and Iron Smelting

Hi Olumide,

Can you hit me up on relaxtuners [at gmail dot com]? thanks.

skydancer: @H202, hit me up for a typing race on play.typeracer.com, just reply to this thread anytime you're ready

Anyone up yet? #JustBumping

Spencer63: Thanks for the response...
But of course I charged the ba3.. once its full I unplug it... and once its lower than 50% it goes off again.

I mean change not charge.

Spencer63: Good evening to the engineers in the house and well wishers too...

Thanks....

You need to change your battery.

factorial1: please, is there any way to deactivate "remember password" on my browser? So, that whenever I open a particular site I will be able to log in with any other account aside mine?

Interesting question. I think this needs @Seun's attention. There should be a remember me checkbox when user is logging in (which can be checked by default or not)

Nice thread, I'm not sure this can run any android game though.

A lot of people want to purchase something for this Xmas, Was just wondering if any of these oversea shippers could slash these shipping prices. It just doesn't make sense to purchase an $150 item and end up getting it for $210. Maybe someone with myus.com premium subscription who has a shop in Lagos? Anyone? Like this post if you are with me.

chidi ezeh: I snapped to but nothing showed.. Am using tecno p5

myhobbies: Tecno p5 2.3

Great, thanks for the info. One of the negative replies is also Tecno. Dunno why yet but will find out. Also the next version would have a focus rectangle to help focus on the recharge card than snapping the whole thing which is more stressful and can cause issues.

myhobbies: I snapped the N100 card pins and nothing happened ooo.

Sorry, what phone are you using?

myhobbies: Does it work for android 2.3?

Yeah should work, but I have gotten reports that it hardly works on low camera quality phones.

Abu Mikey:


Ogbeni Skydancer, You berra arrange blackberry version before I vex

Okay sir. Will be available in the next version.

deejay_harry1: the stuff works wella.. it only recognizes mtn cards??

Yes o, for now, but the next version will support all networks and will also come with instant recognition feature as well as reduced size.

Still hoping to get testimonies, so far, I only heard from two peeps.

deejay_harry1: as i no fit download d app..

tekel: wat else? I Don rate u

Thanks, just test and give a feedback.
