I just feel cheated now, imagine I gave him and it Was working very fine then after he held the system for how many days only for him to returned a faulty system for me just because I asked him to install new Windows for me!
I tried to boot it and it was showing No bootable disk/device. I'm just feeling very sad now.

Don't feel bad. Just get another hard drive and and hostile a fresh OS

Good day Engineers!
I need help with my Samsung mini laptop.
I changed the battery to a new one that I bought at Computer Village December, 2015. It lasts up to 6hrs initially but later reduced to like 4hrs.
Sometimes last year, the charger that came with the laptop had electric spark issue at my wife's office because their generator bridged. I had thought the charger was gone because it was already smelling, surprisingly, it still powered the laptop but I then noticed that the system hangs whenever it is plugged in. But it works well when only on battery.
Along the line, last year I upgraded the OS to Windows 10 from the Windows 7 that came with system.
Presently, the issue is that the battery does not last up to 1hr 30mins and the system goes off at 80% of battery remaining and it takes 1hr 30mins to charge up to 100%.
Also, the booting time which is the main problem now, is 1hr 30mins before I can put password to enter/access the system.
What can I do please?

First , it is wrong to continue to use a burnt charger on your laptop, you are lucky it didn't damage your motherboard.
From your write up, it seems you like managing stuffs and will only take action to fix your laptop when it packs up or refuse to switch on.
When your laptop hangs when charger is plugged and works fine with only battery, it's either your charger is bad (most likely culprit) or the burnt charger you plugged in has affected the motherboard negatively.
So get another charger and test it, if problem of hanging remains, then your motherboard needs checking.
When your laptop goes off when the battery is still 80% , then your battery is bad. Get another.
When your system takes as much as 1hr 30 mins to boot, I will advice you back up your files and install a new OS on it. This means you start afresh.

OP you're doing a great job.
Pls I just bought a fairly used laptop and the window (10) wasn't yet activated so I took it to one of the engineer I know, to format and install Windows 8 for me, he told me the next day that some drivers are missing in the windows 8 so he had to return it to 10. Just today he called and told me that the hard disk has damaged, just like that. Pls what should I do?

If you really want windows 8 on your laptop, tell the engineer to install it and also install the missing drivers, it is as simple as that.
As for the hard drive, you will need to ask him to explain what he means by damage. If the hard drive has a bad/low health and because of this , it is not able to take an operating system, this means it can still be used as an external hard drive to store files, then what he says is justified as I have experienced hard drives with low health unable to take fresh OS.
But if he means the hard drive is totally bad such that system doesn't recognize it, then he will need to tell you what happened to the hard drive while it was with him.

my dell laptop battery doesn't charge, usu says "plugged in but not charging" ,but it charges other laptop batteries, before when I twist and nudge the power cord, it charges, but not anymore, my laptop now a desktop

You need to get another Battery for your system. I just hope you have not damaged the charging port/charger with your twisting .

Please, who can help me out here... I'm trying to setup fingerprint for my pc.. so the problem I am facing now is that biometric is not listed on my pc Device Manager . what can I do about it. (I've installed several drivers, and uninstall them too, no success. I have also enable in Public policy, no success too)

if it is not on device manager, then fingerprint hardware is not installed/available on your system.
