tallskinnyperv:The RAM is probably bad. If you can open up the casing and access the RAM, do so. Remove it, clean it CAREFULLY and put it back in. If that does not work, do a hard reset I.e Remove the battery and charger. Long press the power key for 30 seconds or more to drain all static charges from the capacitor. Plug the charger in to test it. It should work. Then, it will display the normal BIOS screen. You can then reinsert your battery If the above doesn't work, your RAM is either totally bad or the magnetic lid sensor is bad(the pc can't detect if it's lid is open or not, so the screen is off) If any of the above works for you, make sure to deactivate the hibernate settings ASAP 1 Like |

tallskinnyperv: Remove the ba3 and if you can access the ram remove it, discharge the laptop by holding power button down for like 10-15 sec.. Insert them back and power on. |

Benjaniblinks: 1. Have you been using it before? 2. Did you just install the operating system? 3. Whats the model of your laptop (sometimes it can be from setup depending on the model of laptop) |

udemzyudex:Good questions to start with... |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 7:13pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
Benjaniblinks: Windows 8.1 will drive it automatically.. You can right click on the WiFi and click on troubleshoot to detect the problem. I'm suspecting a bad wifi card. |

Benjaniblinks: Hello. If you just installed the OS, consider the following: 1. Install the required drivers- you may visit www.drp.su/en There should be a Wi-Fi button on the keyboard or look out for it somewhere. Don't also forget that your Wi-Fi will display "no network found" if indeed there are no networks around. Once, when I was a novice, my Wi-Fi button showed red even while I toggled the switch. Guess what I did to my self when I discovered it was the absence of network . 2. If you have installed the required drivers and the issue persists, try another Wi-Fi card. *hope this helps * |

Hello guys, I'm having an annoying issue with my modem. The connection is unsteady as it disconnects every now and then after connection. I will really appreciate it if you guys can help me identify an appropriate solution to this problem. Thanks. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 12:02pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
Maxcollins042:Hi there, So, we have to be sure which is the issue- the laptop or the modem. Try the modem on another laptop. Uninstall the program of the modem, then re-install the program. I think you should try this first Let's have your feedback. *cheers* |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Maxcollins042(m): 12:31pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
Razak5:Hello, thanks for your reply. I have un-installed and reinstalled the modem program yet the issue persists. I haven't tried it on another computer though. |

Razak5:The Problem Is That, The Airplane Turn On/off Option Is Grayed Out. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 2:35pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
Maxcollins042: Try on another system so we can be sure... |

Gud day everyone here WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL My boss just brought home a laptop with window 7 professional and the option to copy a file isn't there... I cannot copy a file to another drive or out of the system. Pls anyone with knowledge on how to undo this setting should help out. Google didn't provide the exact explanation. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 7:39pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
Hallenjay: ... "Google didn't provide the exact explanation " Hello there, Why should they? If they did, it will be filled with technical jargon which makes the case kinda worse- cos' you'll want to try even the unknown So first and foremost I'd spare you the jargon and tell you to try the following : 1. Some drives (flash drives, external hard drives) might be write protected. In other words, you can't copy to them. To be sure if your external drive isn't the issue, try copying from another system or try another storage device. 2.After trying No. 1 and it's still the same, you may want to perform system restore. System restore restores your system back to a time when it worked fine. Here how to go about it>>> On the start menu, search system restore >on the list of options that appears, click on "system restore " >follow through the prompts > when asked to choose a restore point choose an earlier date, probably the 2nd option on the list>> system restore once started cannot be stopped, so make sure your laptop is plugged to a power source. The restore point is meant to erase many things that have to do with the "present" and take us to the "past" when things were fine. If you feel you're gonna screw things up, give to someone a bit computer savvy... If you see what I mean. By the way, is it a used laptop or new one? *let's have your feed back * |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Hallenjay: 6:31am On Mar 02, 2018 |
Razak5:it's a new one and have tried all ds before and de didn't solve d problem... I'm having a feeling of some policy changes or administrative settings makes the system behaving that way but I don't know exactly which one... Like they block the copy and paste or they removed the option, what I don't know is if the setting to remove the option ever exist. |

I'M UNABLE TO CONNECT TO WIFI ON MY PC....TRIED THE TROUBLESHOOTING TO NO AVAIL |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 9:44am On Mar 02, 2018 |
Hallenjay: The culprit is one application you recently installed or try to copy huge files at once and it block the copy and paste feature. Look out for this application if you have them installed on your system, Skype and notepad ++. If you have the above application, I'll advice you uninstall with revo uninstaller, and delete all remaining files and folders. Then you install back later. You can also run task manager, check if RDP Clipboard manager is running, then kill the process. If after all this and the copy paste option is not there, I'll advice you reload the operating system. |

Pls help HP elite book 8440 when charged doesn't turn on by itself the next day. If plugged, it'll come up& the battery will be able to power it again. Next day, battery again will not turn it on again |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 12:36pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
yourstruly5: If i understand your post, you're trying to say that it powers on with the charger plug in but doesn't power on ba3 alone? Remove the battery, plug the charger alone and power it on and see if it will on. After that, remove the charger, insert only the ba3 and power it on to see if it will power on. 2. Insert the ba3, connect the charger and power it on, when it gets into desktop move the cursor to the ba3 indicator and see what is written there. I want to know if it is plug in charging, plug in not charging or ba3 not detected. |

udemzyudex: Hi, I thought we could avoid this, but hey, we have no choice. One more program you should uninstall is Adobe reader. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 2:17pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
yourstruly5: Hello Sorry to tell you this- Get a computer technician to check the board. I would have asked you to change the battery (an option you can try right now), but when I read that the laptop powers by self on charger and does not power on battery, my thoughts swerved and a little. Attend to the board now that you got the chance, not until when you get frequent black screen. *cheers* |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 2:19pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
udemzyudex: No. 2 is a great suggestion, @yourstruly5 we'd love a feed back from you... 1 Like |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by yourstruly5(m): 7:26pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
udemzyudex: I was able to turn it on using ba3 alone Thanks for your input I appreciate |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 9:07pm On Mar 02, 2018 |
