My younger brother changed his computer password yesterday night. This morning he turned to me and ask me to help him out because he can't remember clearly what is the password is. I am not a computer geek and the only method i could think of is reinstalling the os. Do you know any other methods that won't erase the data on computer? much appreciated.

if you are in Lagos, call or whatsapp me on 08164685979. I can help you.

Good evening guys

Just checking on your messages

Rocice:
Pls my laptop'speakeer makes a static sounds anytime I'm playing music
What wrong wit d speaker HW can I resolve dis
Tnx

I guess "static sounds" means making noise-like sounds or not sounding properly as it used to.
Hope you didn't do a repair lately that included loosing out the components parts of your system? I believe it is not your fan since the noise only comes on when you play music.

Many laptops usually have two speakers usually found beneath the tiny holes of your motherboard up-casing .So compare the sound coming from both speakers to see if one of them is burst.
Best option is to inspect the speakers for damage. if you can't do this yourself, see an engineer. if you are in Lagos, reach me on the mobile in my signature.

olathy:
Yes, I can see the 'HP' faintly when I powered it on and the Cap key is responding.
Presently I am not on whatsapp.
I will give you a call.
Have a beautiful day.

oh! This means your screen lamping signal is bad. It could be the signal cable, motherboard or screen that is faulty , hence only an engineer can help you. if you are in Lagos, you can contact me on the number in my signature.

My old Compaq (destop) computer is not booting again .it happen that I open the system to blew out old dust that in system which I always do in other device as passive mentainance .I cleaned both motherboard, fan,psu,cards and other components,every thing my hand could touch.As my work was mark done then a assembled everything in other and press on botton, the system refuse to boot and start show red light in the motherboard. I tried to change RAM,CPU and CMOS but notting work.please help me to solve the problem.

Hmm...are you sure you coupled the computer hardware correctly? Wrong coupling can cause so many problems including what you are experiencing.
You should loose out the mother board. connect the power switch and the screen . plug charger and switch it on. If it powers on and displays on the screen , then the problem you were experiencing is due to wrong coupling. so take your time again and carefully couple it again.

Elxandre:
Please do you have an idea of its cost?

I was wondering if there is any glue tough enough to get it attached temporarily till I get a casing fix?

Please leave out the the option of using glue by yourself cos it won't work. if you are in Lagos call or whatsapp me

happy Sunday guys

Rockyfancino:
It should look like this, else the back case will break again.
Check my above post to understand what I'm saying.

if I get you.... the hinges and the back casing are both broken....then you just need to get a new back casing as well as the broken hinges . The other and better option would have been getting a complete casing which would cost you more. But depending on your system, you can get the back casing and the broken hinges only and then get it fixed by an engineer for you.

k

there are two options available to you.

The best one is to go for another casing. The second one is to work the hinges on your old casing which can be done by someone who specialise in doing it. I know someone in computer village Ikeja who can help you. But if you want to go for another casing and you are in Lagos, whatsapp or call me. my number is on my signature.

Intel, bro.

OK...now do this. When you power on thr laptop, press the cap lock key to see if it is going off and on or responding. if it is not responding, then its probably VGA problem. But if it is responding , then the problem should be from screen or signal cable.

[quote author=olathy post=49041781][/quote]Is your laptop AMD or Intel?

olathy:
Please, My laptop (Hp 2000) display was dimmed when I powered it on I hardly see any image on the screen. To my surprise, today when I on it, I cant see any image on the screen any longer.The lights on power button is on but my
screen remains Black.

I want you to look properly if you can see the " HP" logo faintly when you power it on. If you can see the logo immediately you on it, then the lamping of your screen or the signal cable maybe bad. You can whatspp me on 08164685979 to tell you what to do in order to diagnose the issue.

Talius:
Thank you for this platform.

Water poured heavily on my system - through the keypad area. Ever since then, it has refused to boot completely; constantly restarting at a point.

What do I do?

Sadly, you already took the wrong action of powering the laptop after water poured in it. You should have quickly remove the battery to prevent the water from short circuiting the motherboard.
It is certain the mother board now has a problem and only a board engineer can help you. If you are resident in Lagos , you can call or whatsapp me on 08164685979 to fix the board..

Post your laptop issues ...we are here to help you

sagnetplus:

Anoruo:
i need to change my hp 250 casing. if you have or know when i can get that please contact me asap.

whstsapp me on 08164685979 for it.

I guess this is an on-board password. It can be removed by working on the motherboard or contacting Toshiba for Tech support. If you are in Lagos, you can whatsapp or call me to help you with it.

Out of the blue, some of the keys of my keyboard stopped working. What cud be wrong

There are so many things that could cause some or all of the keys of your keyboard to stop working. If the keys were working before and you didn't tamper with your system recently the chance is high your system needs service. I will advice you restart the system and observe if it would work. if it doesn't , try restoring your computer back to an earlier time when it was in perfect condition. if it still doesnt work, loose out the keyboard, dust it and replace it. test it.
if it doesn't work, try testing another keyboard and test for those keys that where not working.

Due to the increasing number of clients experiencing the problem of their laptop not charging and similar problems. I have decided to explain what you should do whenever you experience such. This will help you make the best decision and not pay money to self-aclaimed engineers for doing nothing. Do not rush to take your laptop to any engineer except a trusted and honest one. This is because if they check and discover your charger or battery is faulty, they won't tell you but rather tell you something else that would make you cough our money for a nonexistent fault in addition to buying the battery or charger.

First try charging the battery for a good time like over an hour. While charging, observe if the charging light is on. Also observe what the battery notification says when you run the system into windows. After checking , come back and see my verdict.

Plugged in and charging ( battery percentage increasing)>>>battery and system are OK.

plugged in charging ( battery percentage not increasing) >>> first try another charger to ensure your charger is not the culprit. Also try another battery to be sure your battery is OK. If after you try these and still not charging, your board is the culprit. If you are opportuned, try more than one charger and battery.

Plugged in and not charging>>>>Also try another charger and battery ( try more than one charger and battery). If after trying and your system refuse to charge either your battery or another battery, then your mother board needs to be checked.

Help oh! My pes16 on my pc lags.. Any help

.. *Chip type: AMD Radeon graphics HD 7340 graphics.
Shared system memory: 561mb
Dedicated video memory:384mb
Total available graphics memory: 945mb
Processor: AMD E2 - 1800(2cpu's) 1.7Ghz

I think that game requires higher specifications than what your system has. Forcing your dual core 1.7GhZ to run a game like PES 16 can lead to an untimely pack up of the VGA of your AMD laptop.

I will advice you to download and install the latest driver for your VGA and see if that will help it run faster. This was how I helped a client solve the problem of football manager hanging during gameplay.

My laptop from time to time makes sounds as if the hard drive is rotating. It makes that sound each time I on it and periodically during operation. The sound resembles something turning around inside like the hard disk.

Well, its normal for you to observe the oscillating sound of the circular disk in your hard drive when the system is in use. But when the noise becomes so obvious....as in if it becomes so audible that it gets your attention, then you have to run a S.M.A.R.T check on such drive so as to know the health of the drive . I will advise you back up your files in an external storage as soon as you can.

My Laptop is slow. If I click a thing now it would take forever till it opens. Also, my laptop can't see wireless connection. I will be grateful for your help

One of many ways to solve the problem of a slow computer is to defragment your hard drive. if you are using a window 7 OS, just click on the start menu and type "defrag". Within the control panel menu, click on "defragment your hard drive". Click on "analyze" in the menu that pops up. After the system has finished analyzing your hard drive for fragmented portion, click on "defragment disk". if you are using a windows 8 OS, type "defrag" on the command prompt. You can can download a more efficient defrag tool called "Auslogics dik defrag".

Also to make your system faster, you can remove the aero effect which requires more run time to display. Right click on your desktop and click on "personalise", scroll down and then choose the windows 7 basic theme.


Also,you can also upgrade your RAM. Running multiple programs simultaneously on your system with little memory space(RAM), will slow down your computer. Consider increasing your RAM size

Gafano:
wat is d least cost of repair of d Acer Ferrari...thankz for ur respond

Well, i think that depends on the engineer and the location.But if there is something i must tell you is that you will be lucky to have all hardware components undamaged after repairing the board. I say this because almost everytime i have worked on a board that got faulty by spilled water, there is usually atleast one or more hardware components already damaged by the water. The implication of this is that you may have to replace a component after repairing the board. Hence, apart from paying for repair, you may have to buy another hardware component.

Talking of cost of repair, it depends on the engineer and location. In Lagos, Ikeja to be specific, you can get it fixed with an 5k on the average.
