after formatting , he probably didn't drive it after reloading.
Tell the person who helped you in formatting and reloading it to help you drive it.

Pls I want to get a UK used laptop, how do I check for the specs of the system (about phone in the case of phone), and what are other things to check out for in the system to be sure am not buying a fake laptop.
I will appreciate your response

Use the following guidelines to help you in
buying a used laptop.
1)Go to system properties and check for the
model of the system, processor type and speed
as well as if the operating system is activated.
Also check for the size of the RAM in this menu.
The larger the RAM size, the better for your
computer and more expensive the laptop will be.
In making your choice, run from AMD laptops
most especially because it is a used one.
2)Open notepad and press every key on the
keyboard for efficiency, accuracy and response.
watch out for keys that respond multiple times
when pressed once as well as those that dont
respond once.
3) Test the sound of the laptop if it is audible.
Also watch out for faulty/damaged speakers that
makes unpleasant noise when playing music.
Use an ear piece to test if the audio jack is
working. Also test all the USB ports of the laptop
if they recognize external devices such as
phones.
4) Insert a memory card reader into its slot and
check if it is working.
5) while doing all the above, use your palm or
its back to feel round the body of the laptop for
temperature. Observe if any area is abnormally
hot. if it is, drop it.
6) Test the DVD/CD ROM with a disc if if it is
working. play both an audio and a DVD (if the
laptop has that spec) disc on it. Ensure it is
working and not making unnecessary noise like
a car with a faulty gear.
7)check device manager to ensure all hardware
components are driven.
8 ) connect the laptop to wifi or portable hotspot
to ensure the network adapter is working.
9) test the camera (if it has) and see if it is
working.
10) Now check the size of the hard drive. The
larger the size of the hard drive, the more the
files it can store for you. if you intend using the
laptop to do heavy downloads of movies, then
go for 320gb or higher hard drive size. Also,
sufficient space on your hard drive in addition to
a good RAM size helps your laptop run
smoothly.
11) Check if the battery life is good. Go for
atleast two hours hours battery back up. Plug in
the charger and move your mouse pointer over
the battery icon on the screen. Observe if you
can see 'plugged in,charging' . if true, then note
the percentage of the battery. now continue
watching and observe that the battery is
increasing. let it increase like 5 percent.
12|)if the laptop has Bluetooth, check if it is
working.
13) check for any physical damage on the body
of the laptop. move the hinges to and fro and
see if the display of the screen shakes in
response. if you notice any shaking, then the
laptop has issues.
if all these are ok and the laptop meets your
budget, go for it

Thanks.
Question 1. How do i defragment my hardware
Question 2. Should i install another antivirus instead and which? thanks.

Observation; My system runs fast when it's plug into electricity and turns into a slowpoke after unpluging it.
Thanks.

to defragment your hard drive, type "defrag" without the quotes in your search pane and wait for windows to bring "defragment and optimize your drives". Click on it to bring another menu. Now click on " analyze disk" wait for disk analysis to complete and then click on defragment disk on the bottom right of your screen. Remember not to set any defragmentation schedule.
as for your antivirus, do not install all those junks you find on the internet or being sold pirated. Get an updated premium version of antivirus such as kapersky. You can try 360 total security (it is free and doesn't use much CPU when running).
Try this and let's see if there is any difference.

My compaq presario cq61 is running slow, i have no idea what the problem is. It takes a large amount to load apps and file manager.

2G ram
Sempron AMD 2.1GHZ
HDD 250GB

The apps i installed on it are;
VLC
AVIRA
GOOGLE CHROME

Please i'd appreciate any valid solution, thanks.

First defragment your hard drive.
On a personal opinion, I advice you uninstall that avira you have on it. That antivirus is probably running tasks in the background when your PC is on.

My laptop speaker makes some unpleasant sounds when playing songs or videos.

When you hear a kind of noisy sound when playing music from your laptop, it means the speaker is damaged.

what is the brand and model of your laptop?

Shame to all the keyboard tribal warriors who aimed their target at Edo state.

Shame to all of you.

My laptop charges whenever it's plugged in, but it doesn't switch on
What could be the possible problem

many things could be responsible . You can try to discharge the motherboard by removing all power sources( battery and charger) Press and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. replace the battery and power the laptop . Observe if there is any difference.
if no difference, contact an engineer near you. if you need an engineer and you are in Lagos, contact 08164685979.
