Hello,

Please I changed the OS of my system from Windows 8 to win 10. I notice my battery doesn't last as it usually does. Battery to last up to 3 hours can barely stay for an hour now.

What can be the problem?

You need to install/update the graphics driver.
What system model is that and are you the first user?

Sorry about this, you know sh1t do happen and its unfortunate this happened to and couldn't be resolved after wasting your time and money.

One thing about electronic is that, there is no room for mistake, if you don't do it the right way then its gone.

Even professionals do mistake but going by what you said, I think you gave your system to a quack.
It won't take up to 30mins to fix a laptop screen successfully as long as the engineer do what's necessary.

With what is happening to your system now, that's a symptom of a bad screen, bad flex or screen not getting the right voltage.

We still have good engineers(technicians) in ikeja.

There are good Technicians in Ikeja cool

Hey lordtim001

Have you tried an external keyboard?

BTW
help announce this:- that those who find a way out of their PC issues should as a way of rendering help to those who might be facing similar issues, post their solutions or how they navigated out if same issue.

Ok, so back on track...
So, once you're in the system, head straight to device manager and check input devices...let's know if anything unusual

**Cheers**

You can find your driver in the folder "swsetup " on your C drive, look for drivers and install the one marked VGA

Hello.
When did this start?

BTW, you can try this::
Try another battery/right charger.
If the issue persists then it's clearly from the board and you will need the services of a computer technician.

Hello.
You should replace the wireless card.

An alternative will be to get a USB-WiFi dongle.
