It's usually a faulty inverter module or a dead lamp. Take it to an Engineer near you.

Verify that there are no left-over tiny pieces of papers obstructing the flow. Turn the roller knobs clockwise and anti-clockwise a few times. Power-cycle the device.

It's just a simple jam. All you have to do is open the door(s), look for the paper(s) and pull it out.

silvoice:
Pls someone with good knowledge about minolta photocopier should pls help a brother. My EP1052 photocopier (manual), is trapping paper inside, otherwise known as paper germ. My boy in the office use to do a kind of opening and touching the machine, when ever it behaves this way, and it will start working.
But few days ago he resigned on the ground that he wants to further his education. And so for two days now I have not been able to make a single photocopy.
The issue is that I am in a remote village where it would take up to 2hrs to bring this bulky machine to where I can service it, and my regular service engineer is out of town for now; called the guy, he was saying something like "the gear of the machine"
Pls while I wait for an expert. To check the machine, is their a way I can make the copier to work temporarily through Do-It-Yourself, as my boy has been doing it. Pls if you have any idea of where I can touch, pls help, so that I can offset already accumulated job. If you're a photocopier engineer we can still work together if you're in Rivers state. Thanks in advance

Always try to get your drivers from the official HP website.

To fix the problem, use System Restore to revert to a previous point in time before the update. Your personal data will be preserved. However, apps and drivers that were installed since the last restore point will be uninstalled, and apps that were uninstalled might be restored.

You can follow the steps in the link below.

@ bolded part, you should use the minus sign to undo, and not the plus sign. Also, make sure you run the command from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator).

Computers / Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 2:38pm On Mar 30, 2016
Try uninstalling the drivers -- Open Control Panel and click Device Manager. Locate the audio driver under Sound, Video and Game controllers > right-click it and choose uninstall.

Reboot your computer, plug the earphones in and see if it shows up under playback devices.

If that doesn't work, then you can try updating the drivers. Simply go to the downloads or support section of the official HP website.


Harry4cas:


That's it there.... even after I've plugged in the earpiece, the headset option is still not available.

Someone mentioned that I should download a new audio driver from Hp site but I don't really know how to go about it.
Computers / Re: My Laptops Have Some Issues...pls Help Out by shawlxAk(m): 4:18pm On Mar 28, 2016
Any error messages before eventually shutting off? It could be overheating. You mentioned that the fan is very noisy -- you may want to have that looked at as well.

Consult an Engineer near you.

If you can get into BIOS setup, restore BIOS defaults. If the problem persists, take it to an Engineer to replace the CMOS battery.

As for the other laptop, does it display anything on the screen before shutting off? Try resetting the BIOS settings as well. Try removing and reinstalling the physical RAM.

Computers / Re: My Hp 250 Laptop Is Very Slow Help!!! by shawlxAk(m): 2:18pm On Mar 25, 2016
1. Do you make use of a third-party app for copying files?

2. If you have an anti-virus software installed, it might be slowing things down by trying to scan each file that is being copied on access. Disable it and see if that helps.

3. Run chkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt.

Computers / Re: Help: Laptop Battery Not Charging by shawlxAk(m): 1:23pm On Mar 24, 2016
Try the following.

1. Reset the BIOS settings.

2. Go into device manager, locate the battery driver, uninstall it and then reboot the system.

3. Test with another similar charger.

4. Test with another similar battery.

5. Report your findings.


Acidosis:
This issue started this afternoon. Right now, the PC practically goes off when power is off.

The message reads:
"41% available (plugged in, not charging)"

Please folks, where can I get this fixed today or tomorrow without issues? Please note it's an ultrabook with inbuilt battery that lasts 6 hours with minimal use.

Laptop is: Hp Envy 4 Ultrabook (Touchsmart).

If it's your PC, then you should know the password. If you got it from someone, reach out to that person for the password.


BushDoctor123:
Pls adm. I don't know if this is the right place to post my problem. I have a Toshiba Window 8 ultrabook laptop core 13 (the type that looks like an iPad, you can slide it to reveal the keypad, it has no CD/DVD ROM only USB slot). The problem is when it is powered on it only shows "Password=_" at the top left hand corner of the screen without displaying the window logo. Some one told me it is asking for an administrators password. Pls can any tech guru in the house help me out with the password? pls & pls I need your help asap.
Computers / Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 12:25pm On Mar 24, 2016
The charger might be working, but it might not be delivering the correct voltage. So, you can start by borrowing a similar adapter from someone and testing the system with it.

If it doesn't power on still, then find a way to charge your battery or borrow a similar one and then test it on your computer. Let me know your findings.

WeldHome:




Hello Sir, good morning..

I woke up this morning put on my laptop. It turned on but while trying to charge it, it wouldn't charge. Now the ba3 is flat but it won't still charge. I tested the charger with a voltmeter and it was working, I removed the laptop ba3 and plugged directly, the ba3 signal showed white light (which usually displayed when the ba3 is almost fully charged), but wouldn't turn on. This still indicates that the charger is working but system is not charging.

What should I do to fix this problem? Thank you in advance..

Sounds like the discs were burned at very high speed and your internal disc drive cannot keep up.

Try an external disc drive or a different installation disc.

Computers / Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 10:20pm On Mar 21, 2016
First, verify that both installation media are not defective by trying them on another PC.

Go to your laptop's manufacturer's website and download device drivers for the motherboard. Save them to a flash drive and browse to the location when you encounter the error.



donpata:
hi gurus. I bought a freedos laptop from jumia and I tried to install windows. win 10 installed but I hate it. refuses almost all my software installs due to compatibility. I decided to use win 7. tried installing from flash but after loading, it gives me an error saying ""A required CD/ DVD drive device driver is missing". I've search online and tried all solutions I saw but no way. I decided to get a win 7dvd thinking its cos of flash, still, same problem. spent 2 days on this already. laptop is Acer aspire e5-571. thanks

Computers / Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 10:26am On Mar 21, 2016
Did you check the system requirements for the app you're trying to install? What error message are you getting?

Upgrade the physical RAM (4GB recommended), install Windows 7 and you will be fine.



odimbannamdi:
Due to my very low budget, i had no choice but to opt for a low spec laptop. Its an Hp Compaq nx6125 with 896MB worth of RAM, 1.6GHz clockspeed and came with a windows xp sevice pack 2 pre-installed.

I tried installing Metatrader 4 (a charting application for trading FOREX) on it, but it keeps getting declined. I have been advised to install windows 7 on it, but i am very skeptical considering it has a low RAM and clockspeed.

Do you think i should increase the RAM, to say 2gig, and go ahead with the windows 7 installation??

On a second thought, i am guessing if i install windows xp service pack 3, the mt4 would install. Do you also think this is possible??

Please advise me accordingly. Thank you

During system startup, a message is usually displayed that tells you what key to press to access the BIOS or CMOS setup.

It's usually f2 or f10.

What brand of PC do you have?

Now, how do i revert to the preinstalled key, cause the 8 pro had failed all troubleshoot.
