But, what could have caused it to start behaving this way?
The VGA is the issue. For AMD motherboards, there comes a time when the VGA chip loses signal with the board, hence it won't display at all or always.

No wonder, i noticed sometimes i will "sleep" my laptop, but, after opening it back it won't display, so i decided not to sleep it again. That's a long time ago though.

if i repair the VGA, will it work? cos, i really need the pc for some project work and it's really slowing me down. thanks

Well, there is a temporary solution for it and this entails treating the VGA with rework station. It will display but the problem will definitely come back again. The best solution is to get an Intel motherboard. If you are in Lagos and need an engineer to help you, you can contact me through 08164685979

few months ago, a suddenly noticed that my compaq presario cq61 laptop battery was not saving no power no more. I then end up on damaged battery cause i tested another battery on it and it worked fine. so since then i started using my PC with ordinary ac power charger(without battery). I've been using it that way for almost 3 months now.. now I started experiencing a problem which is if I plug in the PC to the power source with the charger, the led beside the charging port of the PC will just turn on and off back in one second. if I keep on inserting and ejecting the charger like 10 to 50 times it'll later hold the led beside the charting port on and that will allow the PC to be turned on.(if the led turn off in second, the PC won't start). when I get into it a good battery, and insert the charger with the battery, it won't turn on the led but without battery, the led on and off in a second and the PC won't power. I've even tried some other charger but same thijg .. please help me.. God bless...

A laptop brand does not matter. What matters the most, considering your requirements are - :
- i7
- 8/16 GB RAM
- video graphics
Any laptop with the above spec, would serve you nicely.....

Reinstall the Bluetooth drivers. The software was deleted, not the hardware (not unless the Bluetooth module too don waka)?

Good day all,
Pls i want someone to help me look into dis issue.
I bought a new samsung laptop in 2014 that originally came with windows 8.
I went to d ''windows experience index'' page where I saw ''Get more features with a new edition of windows''.

I clicked it thinking it will just unlock d so called new features, only for it to start asking me for keys (and windows 8 doesn't come wit keys).
So i just googled a random key which I innocently input, only for d system to tell me it was a wrong key and at dsame time refused to maintain d original windows 8 it came with.
Since then (early last year) it keeps telling me my windows is not activated!

I even went as far googling a cracked key which worked but has an expiry deadline which is in 3months time as i speak.

Pls how do i revert back to d original windows 8 that it came with?

I dearly need ur help please...

The operating system that was there when you bought it isn't genuine windows, hence you were busted when you clicked the " get more features". Unfortunately, a windows activator can't help you now. One solution I know is to reload a new windows on the existing one.

Na follow come Bluetooth. I can't find anywhere to reinstall. Checked my device manager and I can't find anything like Bluetooth. What do you think can be done? Get a Bluetooth driver installed?

The only solution is for you to re install new os or better if ur system still as recovery that would be better.

Whether you activated it or not, as far as the operating system was activated using a crack software, you can't do an upgrade nor get any new feature from windows. If you try it( just like you have done), you get busted. Even doing a system restore may not help out. Also, trying to activate using an activator won't work again.
