Hello guys, please I need your assistance...
I've got an HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop running on Windows 10...

I had reason to travel without it for a month plus and the battery was low [20%]

Returned last week, charged it and tried putting it on but it's not booting...
When I press the power key, the light indicators come on and after 3 secs, the laptop trips off...

Sometimes the screen lights up and show a kinda white/grey background and then trips off immediately...

What could be the problem and how can I solve it.!

Hello guys
I can't seem to update anything on my system.. my windows update refused to update.... it displayed an error code. I also tried updating the drivers on the system because I changed the windows to windows 10.

OjusAmos:

Remove the battery of the system,Connect to D.C circuit and power it....

Ochillary:
there is a file in appdata folder 'browserhelp.txt' its about 239gb and still increasing every minutes and it cant delete. my hard drive is almost full now. any solution to this?

bigt2:
what is the error message it shows whenever you try to delete it?

sameolg616:

The laptop is hp 8510p runs on Windows 7 32bit and I intend installing windows 7 64bit
you intend or "you intended"...dont be misleading.....be truthful,u obviously ran the 64bit upgrade on the existing 32bit...i have decided here that i wont be part of this kinda of "diy" problems again..let the pros do their work..i would never simulate being a surgeon to make a heart transplant just cuz i saw the tutorial video on youtube or google cuz when complications like what u have happens..its nairaland u run to and expect miracles...and in the end "u say thank u" or send "200 naira credit"..

Ochillary:
something like the file is being use by a programme

bigt2:
end the process that is using the file in task manager and then delete it. Let me know how that goes.

Ochillary:
thanks. found the process and stopped it. about 252gb deleted.. thanks once again.

You know, it wont be a bad idea to just advice him not to do diy and recommend a pro to do it for him.
DIY is not even a bad thing and people learn from these things. DIY should be encouraged so people dont pay over the odds for so many simple issues.

I know you are a pro having solved a lot of issues here without saying how which defeats the purpose of this thread. I purposely didnt want to say anything but this your response seems like someone who wants something in return for fixing issues. you have carved this niche for yourself here and i nor dey knock down your hustle. but no come here dey form god ontop PC issues because someone tried something that didnt work out.

people here want help if possible for free and there is a lot of volunteers that have helped over a long period of time. Help with issues or advice they see a pro if you think it cant be fixed with text words. shikena

Alaye mi gbengulo. . I know you are a good person and we can all get on just fine. In as much as you know alot, that response came out the wrong way which is sent that post.

E just pay to be humble and not appear somehow in-front of people who need help on here. atleast if you advice a DIY person and let him know there might be consequences of his action, then you are not at fault if anything happens when his PC spoils or whatnot. na just my shekele advice sha and thats the point i was trying to drive at with my post.

Apologies for the accusations. . .just had a robin hood moment
Go on soun.

now that you mentioned disaster recovery? can you recover data from an external hard drive that fell from a table and wont show up as a drive on PC's anymore?

Tickles001:

Just accept that you're response is discouraging that was not the kind of response I expect from you. DIY is something I enjoy. I think your response is worse than my failed attempt.

Good morning peeps,

Please my laptop hp 620 is not coming on anymore. But when I put in the charger it blinks a white light then go off.

I removed the battery and still does not come on. Though it was already telling me advise to replace battery before these happened.
