Morning.. Gurus help!

Case 1- my pc shows 'plugged in not charging' after like an hour of charging. but I noticed whenever I leave it jxt like that for the normal full charge time say 2hrs plus. And I off and On it back, it would be fully charged, so I think maybe I could manage this like that..

but another serious one now is , whenever I use the pc to like 48, 49, 50 % , nd I shut down the pc; then after few hours - 2 or 3 hrs.. I on it back and the ba3 is drained- was at 0%. Same thing happened yest..

I hope this is explanatory enough sire, the pc is hp g62 nd I jxt got it from a seller few days ago.

conclusion:
your battery is damaged and you need to replace it
possible causes:
1..incompatible charger.as i have advised many times,,"just 'cause it works doesnt mean its right"..a charger may be identical but may not be the same rating..dont be fooled by the shape,size,make(hp-hp,dell-dell) and the output voltage(18.5 v...its the ampere that really matters)..it just has to be the exact recommended charger ie 18.5v,3.5a is not the same as 18.5v,,4.5a or 19v,3.5a(see my previous posts of my illustration using 3men of the same age but different power) and how it affects the health of your battery..
2...fake battery..if you look around,u'd find plenty substandard products called "china products"...and the only reason we patronize them cause they are affordable...original hp batteries cost from $55-100 while a charger cost $30-50 so tell me how do they cost 5000naira here...but we psych ourselves they would still last a while and we can easily replace them..even "follow comes" nowadays are mixed with "chinas" just to make a sale..if ur lucky to find a God fearing Tech or seller to sell u one then its fine else u just buy the "chinko" battery or charger and read the manual carefully grin grin grin

your hard drive "may" be corrupt from the following causes:
1...some of system files may have been deleted,corrupt or missing
2..it may be weak therefore making the seek/write time to take longer..
3..it may have generated bad sectors ie data cant be read from certain sectors
4..another case of a chinko harddrive
as for your "contents not showin":
that is an obvious case of a corrupt partition table or mbr....
you can call me for your hard drive regeneration/data recovery as long as its not physivcally damaged......
pls desist from any "wannabe" tech that tell u they want to open the harddrive...hard drives shd only be open in an "air tight environment" which can only be provided by the manufacturer..in other words,the moment u open it,its spoilt

Make sure it is plugged in. I mean the earphones. Post a screenshot of your playback devices.




That's it there.... even after I've plugged in the earpiece, the headset option is still not available.

Someone mentioned that I should download a new audio driver from Hp site but I don't really know how to go about it.

Try uninstalling the drivers -- Open Control Panel and click Device Manager. Locate the audio driver under Sound, Video and Game controllers > right-click it and choose uninstall.

Reboot your computer, plug the earphones in and see if it shows up under playback devices.

If that doesn't work, then you can try updating the drivers. Simply go to the downloads or support section of the official HP website.

charger problem....you aint using the recommended charger rating
check under the laptop to know the power rating(output) voltage and the ampere then compare it to the charger rating..
in some very rare cases,a reformat works but im very sure its the charger

OjoMadiba:
but sir, I have been using this charger for close to two years now.
atimes when you use some components especially ones with capacitors over time on electricity(gen/nepa)-low or high current tend to make them wear out gradually till they finally die..we are even fond of always leaving them in the socket even after charging....
here are 2simple tests u can conduct to be sure of the problem:
1.create another user profile-if you dont want to format your system just yet then you can goto control panel,user account and create a new administrator profile
-restart the system
-login using the new profile then observe if problem persists
this test eliminates the need for a another charger..all you simply have todo is just reformat or refressh your system
2..find another charger to test the system with the exact power ratings recommended for the system..if the problem stops then u can conclude on getting a new charger..
besides,you pple never provide all the details needed in assessing the problem correctly...snap and send the power rating on the charger and under the laptop

in some laptops,a single switch or combination of keys(fn+f2) would turn both the wifi and the bluetooth on..
if that fails then your wireless/bluetooth driver is not installed or missing..
goto control panel,device drivers and check if there is a yellow mark on any of the drivers(do a snapshot and post here so we can assess it)
warning!its possible you wont find any yellow warning indicators on any of the drivers.....what that means is that the drivers have been installed properly but not the recommended drivers for that particular model...a similar example is cited when u install windows7-10 freshly on a system,it appears like everything has been installed properly using the embedded drivers in the installation when in truth you have to manually installed the right drivers later
