You are welcomed if you actually set it up you can't use it to call.
I will suggest instead of buying it and installing it why don't you buy a 4g USB modem or if you have money to spend, buy a mifi. If windows is your operating system you can make a call with the 4g USB modem, but the problem is that it is locked to a certain speed. And it's cheaper than buying the wwan card from foreign online shops

Thanks but wat is d cost of d 4g modem pls

Have you just installed Windows 10 or you recently did a reset/format?

Possible solution is to reinstall your display driver

Dell Inspiron laptop

Anytime I switch on the laptop, mouse cursor doesn't show, hence I can't move forward.

USB ports recently stop walking. The drivers are updated.

Battery discharges on its own after charging even without usage

Help

You should budget around 10 thousand buy it will be less if you can get it cheaper.
And the wwan card is around 15 thousand 20 thousand plus shopping money from ebay

There's is nothing wrong with your laptop, those engineers did not help you set the bios settings appropriately, that's why it's bringing up that boot menu. The bios should be set to boot your operating system to hard disk drive as the first boot

The processor, go for an intel core i3, i5, i7 of more recent generation, 8gb ram, support for 16gb maximum, ddr3l or ddr4 ram, intel integrated graphics or Amd radeon graphics, 6gb dedicated memory, depending on your budget, 500gb SSD drive, instead of Hard disk. 2 usb 3.0 ports, 2 usb 2.0 ports, hdmi port, e.t.c 14 or 15.6 inches screen size of higher resolutions, 1920 x 1080p. recommended brand Hp or Dell. These are two good brands so far

The problem of '0% plugged in charging' is usually a hardware problem and not driver issues.

It occurs due to:
1. Bad battery
2. Faulty motherboard (specifically charging IC/charge controller).

See a technician ASAP as you won't be able to fix it yourself.

The speaker of the laptop is bad. Get a technician to replace it.

Help

Your pc has got a very complicated issue.

What's your laptop model?

Do you mean all usb ports on the pc has stopped detecting any device plugged into them?

Battery self drain is common with aging batteries.

You should clarify my questions above.

Hello guys

Please is there any way i can recover files in this HD without formatting?

I have changed cases and cables yet anytime i plug my HD into a computer it asks me to format it.

Yeah right. Hp and DELL are great brands but I'd choose Dell over HP given similar specs owing to durability. Check most latest offerings of hp that are budget friendly they all have cheap looking plastics and feable hinges not to mention their LCDs with very very fragile glass finishing.

A recovery is possible after formatting it but that will come at a price.

You should run a chkdsk command on it.

Most times, mounting the HD in a linux environment will help you to copy out your files before formatting it.

about the durability, it cut across all lines of products, brands. it depends on the range of models, i prefer Hp rugged lines and mobile workstations like the Elitebook series, because of the durability, and lots of features

Yeah right. Their Elitebooks are rugged but they aren't budget friendly and none of their mobile workstation is budget friendly for those who can only afford a regular pc without those extra features. HP has models for the low end budget market. I was actually comparing their lines of affordable laptops to DELL's. I feel dell offers more value for money in terms of durable builds and features than HP.

In a linux environment you mean another OS asides Windows?

Guess i might just have to format it then. Sad

Very true. HP has mad designs that are sleek and very attractive o.

But they need to improve on build quality irrespective of the line of production.
