pls does anyone has an idea about this?
The stress of converting your internal ROM to external ROM is not worth it. Just get a branded external CD ROM and plug it to your system via USB cord and viola! you are good to go.

Pls I need help, I upgraded my laptop from windows 7 to 8 nd my camera, wlan, audio, nd USB ports stopped working. What should I do.
You will need to drive your new OS with drivers that match it. Get a driver pack and use it to drive it. If you are in Lagos and you need someone to help you, call or whatsapp me on 08164685979.

my hp mini 311 has refused to power on. It charges normally and on pressing the power button, all the lights (power, battery, busy/hdd, wireless) come on for 2 seconds abd goes off.
I tried hard reset and e no work.
dunno if someone has a better option.
is the board dead?
At the stage of your laptop coming up for two seconds and going off, you need to visit an engineer.

Pls how much is VGA cable? Pls who has an idea?
I wonder what you need a VGA cable for. If for anything, it is not worth the buying if all you need it for is to troubleshoot your computer. You can get it from those who sale laptop chargers and audio-video cables , for 1000- 1500 naira depending on the type and seller.

@skydancer I change my PC windows from XP to wimdows7, after that the PC loses sound, i mean if I play either video or Audio it failed to play with sound...what the prob
I guess you haven't driven the system after upgrading the OS.
I guess thst is responsible. Drive the system specifically with driver pack. That should drive most of the drivers.

the shaking doesnt appear on a screenshot. So, I think it has to be the display(vga) & not the screen. You a repairer? where do u base?
Don't conclude yet that it is a VGA problem until you see an engineer. I am a board engineer based in Lagos. If it is a a VGA problem, then it either you go for a re-ball (changing the VGA chip) which is the permanent solution or the engineer can apply a soft heat on the cheap (tempoary solution.)

thanks for your assistance boss!

It shakes up and down for like 2secs interval continuously. I have tried tapping the screen & applying little force to the casing to see if it is "un-tight" screws but, to no avail.
yes, My PC is AMD with additional raedon graphics
I do not even have access to an external monitor. I don't know how to get one. I'm in Benin.
These repairers these days cannot be too careful, anything to confirm the actual fault will be highly welcome..
This your PC issue is most likely a screen issue. Because you don't have a VGA cable and may not have the necessary skills to test another screen on it (which will require loosing the laptop), you will have to see an engineer.

Please guys, my HP laptop is giving me a source of worry. It started yesterday. The problem is that the screen is always shaking up and down. I have tried different maneuver but no way. It keeps shaking intermittently. The shaking is not visible on a screenshot else, I would have posted a photo. What could be the problem?
i dont understand what you mean by the shaking is not visible on screen. Do you mean, it shakes for a while and then works normal only for it to resume shaking again? Next time it shakes, try tapping the screen with your fingers or palm (dont hit it too hard so that the screen breaks ooo) and see if there will be any effect.if you notice any changes, then your screen is the culprit.
Other causes are 1)bad signal cable 2)VGA problem (especially if your laptop motherboard is AMD or has additional graphics card like ATI or NVIDIA)
Try connecting your laptop to an external monitor and check if the display is still shaking on the monitor. if it is shaking, then that is a VGA problem, if it is not shaking in an external monitor, then your screen or signal cable are the culprit.

Good evening laptop engineer in the house. Please I need help. I upgraded my laptop today from windows 8 to 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that the second function.key (fn key) is no longer working/responding e.g I can't reduce or increase the screen brightness etc. but I can increase and reduce volume. please what is the solution to the problem?
N.B- it is a samsung activ notebook.
I have encountered this issue before. Its most likely that your OS is not yet activated. So if this is ture, try activating it and get back to me.

I got a new system and installed windows 8.1 and anytime I want to open the windows defender, it shows error:0x80073b01 , pls what do I do apart from installing a new windows?
Generally Error code 0x80073b01 occurs because

Registry Editor : to do this
Press Windows Key + R this will

given keys and delete msseces.exe:
“ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\Image File Execution
Options\ ” and delete the
entry msseces.exe and
“ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Explorer
\DisallowRun” and delete the
entry msseces.exe .
After doing all the above given
steps restart your computer. Try to
open Windows Defender/Security
Essential.
The SFC or System file checker is designed to
scan the windows files and verifies the integrity of
important system files. This is an inbuilt Windows
mechanism that helps user to fix any damaged or

Hello guys! My hp 630 makes a buzzing sound on boot and sometimes remains on window logo without booting. What do I do?
if you love your files, please do a back up before your hard drive packs up. that is likely a sign of hard drive failure.

Pls I need help with my Acer aspire E15.
After I changed the screen, the keyboard started misbehaving. First, some buttons like the enter, backspace, I, j, k, m buttons stopped working, a day later buttons like the q and e buttons started pressing repeatedly without me touching them, finally the whole keyboard stopped working.
I took it to the technician who changed the screen initially and he said the keyboard needed to be serviced which he did but the problem persists.

Edakun epp me
Try a new keyboard first.

Pls I need help.
Before I formatted my laptop today whenever I turn on my phone hotspot and on wireless on my lappy it will connect immediately, but since i formated it today have been trying to connect it but it not connecting, I changed the network IDD and password on my WiFi, I used the trouble shooting on my PC still its not connecting. Pls tell me what I can do to make it work without re formating it.
Since you just formatted and reloaded your system, I guess the WiFi needs to be driven for it to work.

If you know how to use driver pack, this should be a piece of cake . Just get driver pack and use it to drive the WiFi.

I'm not in Lagos and if it was a stolen ware, Dell wouldn't have sent technicians twice to my house for repairs (before my complete care, next business day on site repairs, extended battery life warranties expired), and I'm not sure my details would've been attached to the service tag code on Dell's database. No sir, it's not stolen.
OK...Reach me on my mobile and let's try the password method. I must emphasize this is under probability. The surest method in clearing a BIOS password is replacing the chip.
