Gud evening all... Pls am having an issue with my laptop, it doesn't stay on for more than 10 minutes and it just trips off by itself with battery fully charged ......any solution to this issue will be highly appreciated...

next time you power it on, observe if the fan is rolling or not. Also feel the underneath of the laptop with your palm if it is abnormally hot.
Do all these before it goes off. Then lemme know your findings.

Hi, this isn't exactly a fault per se but I recently got an Elitebook 840 G1, and I hear this rattling sound from the SATA HDD sometimes. I hear it esp when I'm not plugged into power.

Your thoughts please?

depending on the level of the noise, it is completely normal to observe the noise of the spinning of your hard drive but if the noise assumes a disturbing level , you should be concerned.
If the health of your hard drive is becoming critical, this should be accompanied by slowness of your laptop ( as a result of the HDD not responding on time) as well as notifications from your laptop that you should back up your files and replace your HDD.
if you feel something is wrong, you can see an engineer who will check for the health of the HDD.

Hello Guys, So my laptop has been extremely slow and almost impossible to use of recent, i have restored it severally to factory settings, yet it still has the same problem.

I tried running a disk check, it gets to a certain point and just remains there, i actually left it for like 2 days, yet it didnt progress.

I suspect that the hard drive is bad, i just need confirmation from the gurus here.

It originally came with windows 7, i upgraded to 8, and 10 respectively over the years (Been using it since 2013). The problem started while i was on windows 10, although i have restored it back to windows 7, all in a bid to fix it.

what is the size of your RAM? if it is on the low side, you may consider increasing it.
Your hard drive is also a major culprit here. Try another hard drive and note the difference

so you hreverted back to windows 7 and your system is still slow!
Your hard hard drive is the next culprit. Change to another hard drive and see the difference.

How much will it cost to change my HP 630 Chassis, the hinge is broken I believe

the cost will depend on the level of damage . for example if your casing is repairable, it will cost you less but if it will need replacement, it will cost you more. I cant give you a specific price now until I see the system and see the damage.
you can whatsapp me on 08164685979 so you can send me image of the laptop.

Holla! @Skydancer,
Buena Dia, senor (Good morning, Sir)

The challenge with my laptop is that I cannot change my account Picture.
The Laptop is an HP 655 with windows 8 OS.
I've tried installing some software (forgotten the names now) which someone recommended bt it's not working. Can u help me?

well, this should be pretty simple. Using windows 8.1 for example, navigate to the search pane and type " change account picture" . Click on the "change account picture" result . Click on browse in the next menu. this takes you to your pictures folder. click the picture you want and click " choose image" on bottom right corner of screen. You are done. You can try this method even if your windows is not 8.1

keep your whatsapp messages and calls coming.

we are ready for business

evening sir. When i turn my laptop on it just blinks the cap lock and number lock five times and does not come on. But the power light and other indicator come with the screen showing completely blank. some other it comes on after a while or when turned on and off. What could the problem be.

First, what is the brand and model of your laptop?
Most importantly , is your laptop processor AMD or Intel?

good night guys

I tried the recovery options on several occasion but it keeps on doing the same, and how do I reload the windows
here's a screenshot of it

I will advice you take it to an engineer to do for you because it is a pretty long process. after reloading your OS , you will also need to drive it. Hence giving it to an engineer will be best.

please hel[p my HP do come up with bluescreen and then restart telling me some files are corrupt how do i go about it

I will give two suggestions here. First try the HP recovery option. immediately you turn on your laptop, tap the F10 key repeatedly until it takes you to the recovery menu. When the recovery menu appears, click next and then yes to perform a nondestructive recovery. wait until the recovery is done and you will be able run windows smooth again.
another option you have is to reload windows on your laptop. Take note to use the " keep my files and documents " option so that your files are moved to windows.old when you are done.

Get good cash for your faulty/dead/scrap laptop.
call or whstsapp

..my Toshiba laptop l300 screen turns white if I connect to electricity. I have tried changing charger.still the same please can you advise the next step

this is certainly a hardware error. Your screen or motherboard is the issue here.
Take it to an engineer close to you for troubleshooting. if you need an engineer and you are in Lagos, call 08164685979.
