yes, i mean if i press the power button, the power light comes on, the booting light also comes on but the booting light goes off after like 10 to 15 secs and the screen still won't show.
During this process, the fan also won't roll.

This is definitely a motherboard issue, see a technician.

Yes, all you have to do is bring out the motherboard, take out the bios chip and insert it on the bios programmer.

Open the software on your laptop /pc, first of all backup the old one and upload the new file and write it to the bios chip.

Take it out and solder it back to your laptop motherboard.

good day guru invd house,
my desktop usb ports r not working again nd I tried to buy ps2-usb female adapter to connect my mouse nd keyboard nd yet its not working. kindly help me out on what to do please. is it possible to repair computer usb ports?

Hello Mr. Akerewe
So sad that this USB is giving you some headaches.

If the USB hardware directly connected to the board doesn't function and if the necessary drivers aren't installed, if you like use "she" adapter grin grin, it won't still work!!

Let's verify that the USB drivers are intact.

OK ok. Let's start like this: give us a snapshot of your adapter

You can't upgrade it just like your RAM.

Use your system like that or get Pes that is compatible.

Ok, so, the DVD you're likely going to use is a "copied" version...
Henc an upgrade function might not work.

So, here is your best bet::

You're going to perform a new installation of win 7. This time, you'll select "ultimate" and do not format the partition or drive :C

That way, all your files will be saved in s "windows.old" folder...
However, you'll loose your installed programmes. So, you'll have to re-install them.

*Cheers*

Hello.
What kind of softwares are you going to be using?

Hello.
The Zed air would be nice if you're doing basic coding. It also depends on how intense the coding will be.

"The creativebloq" website puts it nicely:

Coding means different things to different people. When it comes to finding the best laptop for programming, there are a few things to consider. The heart of programming in any language is not particularly demanding – you’re only writing lines of text, which any computer should be able to manage. However, it’s always nice to have some horsepower under the hood.

More memory will mean today’s heavyweight Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio will run buttery-smooth, and it becomes easier to make changes when working with complex website layouts that have huge amounts of background code. Large, complex programs compile faster with a faster processor.

And while burning the midnight oil for hours when working on a large project, comfortable ergonomics make a big difference, so you’ll be grateful for a great keyboard and decent screen.

What’s more, if you think your new idea is going to be the next big hit on Apple’s App Store, you need a laptop running MacOS to use Xcode, Apple’s IDE that’s used exclusively to develop applications for the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Similarly, if you’re considering working with game development, within an environment such as UnrealEd or Unity as part of your project, you can’t ignore graphics performance either.





In summary, for a beginner or medium user, you can start with the Zed Air. But you'll be needing an upgrade soonest to an entirely different PC- Something higher, not lower...

Its also not about brand popularty shocked Have you heard of a brand called msi...Its about performance.

OK...So dont forget::
Good RAM(8GB), Good Processor(Intel Core i5), Good display(15.6"wink, Good Graphics(Intel hd graphics 520, 4000, 3000, 610 -minimum), FHD(Just for color and depth)

Goodday people
Tried powering up my laptop as usual yesterday buh to my dismay I noticed it took longer than usual to move from the HP disply screen to the boot up screen and then all of a sudden it the screen blacked out and displayed "Non system disk or disk error, replace and strike any key when ready"

I've tried all the minor trouble shooting steps I know of and even some made some researches about possible fixes on google buh all to no avail.

Anyone with suggestions, please?
