mdsocks: @adewasco good job...but to add to it...

or maybe i elaborate Item 1 for him more clearly.........

wolebaba:

U have to buy the Original. No two ways to this or downgrade back to what you were using b4.

adewasco2k:
now if i get you well, your AC adapter and battery are not compatible? first!!! is that the original battery and charger that came with your PC? Mind you! you might be damaging your motherboard if the power adapter is outputting incorrect voltage, so your PC shuts down to prevent damages.
so try this.
1. Try using a known working power adapter, you can borrow one to troubleshoot, but make sure its same voltage with yours.
2. Try a known working battery on it to.
3. Try to reduce the performance and brightness of your PC or probably disable the graphic card and see.
If problem persist, i suspect a board problem.

Wait for my colleagues to comment @Deji2009 @Adetwin @all4naija and co

adewasco2k:
i will give you a shallow guide believe you are savvy enough to catch...in case of any further question, just come back here.

1. Create a New Partition from the Windows 7 Hard Disk Drive (you will shrink your hard disk from disk management, then create new partition)but i will advice you read up windows XP and 7 minimum requirements, you will not have problem if you have enough disk space.

2. After creating a partition take note of the name, then install windows XP on that partition with a genuine CD (you will be asked to select a partition to install it to in the process)

3. After installation you wouldn't be able to logon to windows 7 just yet, so on your newly installed windows XP install the .NET Framework 2.0 and the you need a program to repair the boot file of your windows 7 its called EasyBCD its a freeware which can be downloaded here
install the .NET Framework first to be able to download the EasyBCD, so run the EasyBCD that will help to repair the Windows 7 boot file and add XP to the Windows Boot Manager list.

4. On the EasyBCD On the left side, click on the Add New Entry button,
-In the top section under Operating Systems, click on the Windows tab
-To the right of Type, select Windows NT/2k/XP/2k3 from the drop down menu.
-To the right of Name, you can leave the default Microsoft Windows XP as the name to be displayed in the Windows Boot Manager, or you can type whatever name you would like to have instead.
-Click on the Add Entry button
-On the left side of EasyBCD, click on the BCD Deployment button, select (dot) the Install the Windows Vista/7 bootloader to the MBR option, and click on the Write MBR button.

5. restart and you will have option to select which OS to boot into


Okay i know you might be scared of the steps, its easy when you are on it that as stated.

I hope some other gurus in the house can help drop a simpler step to follow, this are the steps i also follow when doing that and i have never stumble on any problem so far.

NB for the EasyBCD software, at the bottom of the site you will see registration for free users (non-commercial purpose)

Jameel263: Hello,plz people in the house plz help me solve this.But u should be sorry for my poor expression of terms.My toshiba NB505,Windows 7 is being formated for a virus infection.Initially my maximum display is 1024*768 but now the maximum is only 800*600.Secondly,the games that I usually played cannot be played now rather showing something like “u don‘t hav hardware graphic media installed“ or something lyk dat.Thirdly,now there is no “sleep“ button in my shutdown options.I will be glad and thankfull as u response.thanks

Kaysalas: hi guys, pls my laptop charger got burnt while charging with my gen. Last night, i need another one. Kindly send a mail to kaysalas at yahoo dot com if you have one for sale it is a hp laptop

wolebaba: Computer Village......U can get anytin from there. New charger is not more than 5k same as fairly used. I don't have the specifics.

adewasco2k:
come to think of it, it might not be power problem but rather temperature problem as computers tends to generate more heat when on high performance plugged into AC.
try to see if the fan works well and notice its sound, as earlier mentioned, reduce the brightness and performance on it and see if it still goes off, then you sure know what is actually wrong.

wolebaba:

You are actually correct. He should carry out the troubleshoot 1st den we can proceed from the outcome. I also suspect that the battery could be damaged.

topsco: Pls,My windows 7 says 'MTP DEVICES DRIVER was not successfully installed'...whenever i connect my C5 to my system using USB.

biggiesoft: pls i jex upgraded my system 4rm vista 2 seven ultimate by 4matin d vista cmpltly...afta diz i installed football manager..now when i play d game it often hangs then shows me a blue screen then restarts...pls i nid help

deji2009:

click start, all programs, accessories and click run press.
A box would appear type inside devmgmt.msc press enter
and continue Yes. you should have some yellow signs in there.
if you do visit the laptop manuf'r website and make sure you
download the correct the driver for your laptop.

Look for your laptop makde and model number

e.g. toshiba p300-20h.if unsure get back to us
Also is the game compatible with the Windows 7 .

Window 7 upgrade advisor will tell you if it is.
In the future always consult peoplein know
before you do something to your laptop.

also bring the run box up again and type in desk.cpl
press enter is the display by 800*600.

Unsure, ask questions so you can be guided

i want you to

1st use the opport...to save all your data before anything happens

In the meanshile restart the laptop and immediately keep pressing
f8 and select disable auto restart on system failure so next you
restart the blue screen should stay on so you can read the error

deji2009:

Seems you're connecting a Samsung/Nokia mobile/Blackberry phhone.
We need to know which one you're connecting.perhaps due to
corrupt suite or ova

deji2009:

Turn off the computer
and wait five seconds.
Turn on the computer
and immediately press
the F10 key repeatedly
until a BIOS Setup
screen opens.

If nothing happens,
press the F1 key repeatedly.

Go to either boot sequence/boot order
and look for hdd its self explanatory
you shouldn't have a problem. use the
key on the screen to move the hard drive
so that the hard drive is 1st, cd/dvd 2nd the rest
doesn't matter. press f10 to save and exit then see.

If no joy make sure no camera, ipod,
iphone, usb or any other device
attached to your laptop.
if there is remove it please and see.

If no joy restart again pressing f8 go for
repair your computer and follow instructions

If after following the instr...still no joy

If you bought the laptop new, I blamed you that
you didn't create a set of rescue recovery DVD for the
unexpected Your Hp laptop comes with a built in recovery
to bail out.however this option is a last resort. if thats the
case we are smiling. all you need is an external hard drive
say 50gb depending on how much data you have.though we cannot
boot to the computer but hp laptops do offer data backup before
we use the inbuilt recovery to remaster the laptop to factory settings.
Recvoery is the last resort to the problem.if you can hold of boot disk
that can match your O/S say Win 7,Vista etc then we can run some automatic repairs.


If still no joy make sure yuou have enough
battery power or just connect charger and
restart go back to bios f10 and go to
diagnostics and run either the short or long
hard drive test, preferably I would like you
to run the long one if the option is available.
fif not just run the one it got and should report
failed or pass

At anytime pls get back to us one of my colleague would
be able to take over incase am offline

m xo xo grateful fnkz.
v chekd device managa stuf nd i cnt fynd any yelo indictnz.. d batri iz low naw...buh i wil v powerd it in d nite lyka 8...mayb we cn work 2geda beta...u gonna b fwi?

flama: thanks boss, but i've tried all the above prescription, no good result, i run the hdd test, what i got is : hard disk quick 1 (303). And i don't this msg. Pls help me out sir.

topsco: Pls,My windows 7 says 'MTP DEVICES DRIVER was not successfully installed'...whenever i connect my C5 to my system using USB.

deji2009:

Read the previous message carefully, if it take me time to type with my fingers, why shoudnt you ?
follow all the instruction. e.g. where i asked you to f8 and disable auto restart on system failure
read the message carefully. Also I dont understand your reply please write it clearly.its confusing me

deji2009:

okay goo that you've ran thd hd test and its faild.
do you have any data to backup ? if you do you can use
the f11 on start up recovery manager and select the option
to backup date to external device and then you replace the hard drive

The 303 error would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing a
nd will need to be replaced - this is also consistent with the
start-up issues you describe. Take it to a shop for a replacement
hard drive

biggiesoft: .
i jex ran d compatibility stuf nd it says nt compatible...it askd me 4 d earlier version d game worked with...i startd d program nd afta everyfn it sed nt compatible

deji2009:

Have you tried going into the device manager and looking for any yellow marked items?
Something similar was seen with win7/vista as well with usb drives.

Either right clicking to uninstall followed by a full restart

deji2009:

or to have Windows perform an automatic search won't always work.

deji2009:

A manual search by selecting the device from the list of devices
will often see Windows install the correct generic driver where
you end up with Windows has successfully installed your new hardware
type message.

deji2009:

recokon is either the nokia suite or ova am off to work so
maybe someone else will advice you if you get stuck
