Computer Troubleshooting And Repair

[crunchy_blac666]

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932520/en-us, try checking this site bro.. have u tried removing it first from the device manager then restart your system ba?try mo un... pag bumalik ung error e remove mo both ung NIC mo dun sa device manager then restart mo ulit.either conflict yan but accdg dun kc sa message e either conflict with vista un thru addressing kc with the device...bro ung VC mo b e me DVI like your monitor?have u tried using DVI?

 

 

 

bro VGA sub-d lang LCD ko pero ung board ko may DVI port... mas gaganda ba resolution ko pag gumamit ako ng DVI adapter?

bro VGA sub-d lang LCD ko pero ung board ko may DVI port... mas gaganda ba resolution ko pag gumamit ako ng DVI adapter?

 

 

 

uh oh... walang pang DVI sa monitor mo?hmmmm.....mas maganda kc sa DVI instead of VGA kc analog ung sa VGA e... suitable for crt monitors na luma... ang DVI naman e digital... mas detailed cya kesa analog ng vga.....medyo me prob tayo jan... check mo nga ung notes ng monitor mo kung capable cya to go thru DVI...baka kelangan din ng converter nyan like ung VGA sub-d mo....

[frickph]

natry ko na ata lahat ng possible solutions para sa LAN onboard ko & pang vista lng talaga ung driver ng lan ko sa CD ng MOBO.... bro pano ko tataasan ung dedicated video memory ko na currently 128mb? & check mo ung BITS/PIXEL ng Video ko 32bits lang.... may kinalaman ba un sa OS ko na vista 32bit lang? ang labo kc ng LCD ko hindi clear.... thanks

 

one way to increase that e bumili k ng mas mataas n video card (separate n video card un)... what you have is built in and there's no way n maadjust yan.... ask mo din ung pinagbilhan mo kung kaya nung monitor mo to go thru DVI at kung me adapter since u told me n me DVI port ung mobo mo...

[Saeki®]

thanks po sa mga reply...

 

question po ulit...

 

ang video card po ba ng notebook e built-in? and paano po malalaman kung ilang MB ang gamit ng vc? and paano po i-set kung sakali hindi sya naka set sa maximum MB na pwede i-set para sa vc.

 

 

Asus A3400L notebook po gamit ko.

 

 

TIA.

 

i dont know with other notebooks but...

 

on dell computers there are options to get an expansion card (video card) or an integrated one.

i usually check it sa device manager or sa msinfo32

 

-pag on ko ng pc o wala talagang display na kahit ano (walang bios, walang logo, etc), pero yung monitor ay walang sira kasi na test ko sa ibang pc ok naman

 

-na check ko na lahat ng cables and connections ok naman

- yung hardidsk ko ok naman, na test o sa ibang pc gumagana sya

 

hmmm.......

if this is a notebook, it might be the screen

 

*i might be mistaken ha?

 

 

yung fan na sinasabi ko ay yung 2 exhaust fans (back and side) ng casing and fan sa cpu

 

hindi nag function yung 2 optical drive(ayaw lumabas ng loading tray)

 

use the emergency ejject swith

 

*un ung sobrang liit na butas samay tray/ejject button na kasya ang pin

 

bro... me maliit b n butas ung CD rom mo?ganito gawin mo... pagturn on mo ng pc mo... look for a hair pin...deretsuhin mo cya then itusok mo dun sa maliit n butas sa cd rom habang pinipindot mo ug eject. ung butas n un e ung parang emergency eject ng cd at dvd roms

 

 

 

ay

 

 

eto na pala un

 

 

[cptn0seaman]

hello, how are you guys?

 

can somebody help me with my destop pc problem?

 

yung desktop ko pag on mo, walang display, pero ok naman monitor ko,

tapos ayaw gumana ang cd drive, pero gumangana yung mga fans nya

wala akong narinig na beeps na sound, saan kaya ang problem ko?

 

gusto ko sana palitan yung power supply pero yung spare ko ay 24 pins yung plug tapos yung sa original ko ay 20 pins lang paano ba i convert yung 24 pins to 20 pins?

 

thanks in advance!

 

:thumbsupsmiley: hello guys

 

ok na ang pc ko! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

power supply lang talaga ang problem, walang power or not enough power yung supply para gumana yung motherboard ko

kaya di gumagana yung mga optical drives and hard disk pero yung 2 exhaust fan and 1 fan para sa cpu umiikot!

 

kaya pag nagkaproblema rin kayo at kapareho yung symptoms ng pc ko, most probably ay power supply!

 

tapos yung power supply ko na 24 pins yung plug papuntang mother board ay nagamit ko rin sa motherboard ko na 20 pin lang yung slot nya, possible pala, may 4 na pins lang na sosobra extra power para sa motherboard na may pcie slots

 

nagkaron ako ng time makalikot yung pc, kasi long weekend!

salamat sa mga advice! :thumbsupsmiley:

problem no. 1

 

i have a dvd rom/writer. di na sya lumalabas sa my computer (i mean yung drive ng dvd rom/writer). pero when i view the device manager, nakikita na merong dvd rom/writer although me ! sign and yellow mark. sabi ng pcx technician, i need to reinstall my windows xp service pack. if i reinstall it, what will happen to my files? do i have to backup? i dont have enough flash drive and i can't save/burn files as backup kasi nga hindi nag wowork yung dvd rom/writer.

 

problem no. 2

 

i checked against the microsoft website if my os is valid. siempre failed. but i followed the registry codes from another mtc user under the software/application thread. what are the implications now that my os has been detected as counterfeit? is there a way to fix this?

 

tia.

for one.... you can uninstall the device muna sa device manager... ung cnasabi mo n optical drive mo n me !,uninstall mo cya then restart mo PC mo,after doing that try to check kung nandun n cya e try mo remove ung upper/wer filters sa registry,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} <---check mo tong location na to kung me upper lower filtersafter removing them e restart mo ulit pC mo then check mo kung gagana ung drive.

as for two. maybe you can try paradox to make it valid instead of editing the registry for the OS. I believe everyone in this room knows paradox.

-i accidentally unplugged the wires on the motherboard side connecting the 2 front usb ports, mic in, headphone ports on my desktop pc, and i dont know how to properly plug them back.

 

-i was cleaning the pc and i thought that the plug was 1 solid rubber block but it turn out that each wire had their own separate plug

 

-my problem is that i dont know the configuration, color coding etc.. of the wire and pins on the motherboard

and im afraid that if plug them wrong i might damaged the motherboard

 

-i dont see any marks or sign on the motherboard side pins, telling me where to plug the wires

 

-the plugs on the wires are properly marked telling me which one is for the power, usb, mic headphone etc

 

- are pin configuration on my motherboard are the same on all brand of motherbaords?

 

can somebody help me? thanks and i will appreaciate it :hypocritesmiley:

almost all motherboard have the same headers - of course it is best to consult the motherboard manual always - i assume you have lost yours? if you know the brand/model, you can go to their site to download a softcopy of the manual

 

anyway, if all things fail, you can consult this link: http://www.frontx.com/cpx101_2.html - again do this as the last resort - i have experienced several burnt flash drive and portable drives because some smart technician failing to "read the manual"

[satanas666]

hello rmpilar,

 

thank you for replying,

 

thank you for the link,

 

thank you for the advice.

 

 

I will check what is the brand/model of my motherboard and get me a copy of the diagram and manual as i have no idea where mine is.

 

Have a nice day! :hypocritesmiley: :hypocritesmiley:

finally after the dvd /cd rw drive has been detected by the pc, i was able to install nero express. i bought 5 CDRs. i thought i would be able to burn. it sure can read the installer, but i tested all blank CDR and this is the prompt i got:

 

E: is not accessible. incorrect function.

 

is it possible that the burner is damaged? it can read but cannot burn or all the cdrs i bought are the ones that are damaged? tnx.

right click mo ung burner mo then choose properties,check mo kung naka-enable ung recording,under recording tab un. ok lang na burahin mo ung upper and lower filters sa registry bro.with regards to nero.either it's not recognizing the drive or me problem sa NERO driver itself. para ma-isolate mo cya e try mo ung drag and drop function sa windows,click k ng file then drag mo sa combo drive mo,then me prompt n lalabas kung gusto mo cya i-burn sa disc. follow mo lang ung instructions.kapag nagburn yan sa disc using windows,ung nero driver/software at me tama.

program cya n nageenable sa windows n maging valid. that program will enable windows to download updates and make your windows a WGA enabled. Kumbaga d cya lalabas na pirated pag nagupdate n ung windows updates nya.

ni right click ko yung burner walang recording tab na lumalabas. so ibig sabihin? me tama yung driver mismo. tama ba? i tried to drag and drop a file sa burner, E is inaccessible. incorrect function pa rin. can i download nero installer dun sa free stuff thread. instead of using my cd installer?

kung nacheck mo n ung properties nya at walang recording tab sa properties window nyan,ganito,punta k msinfo32, check mo kung combo drive talaga ung nababasa,kung un ung nababasa then punta k ng device manager,uninstall mo ung combo drive mo dun then restart mo ung computer,im sure nakita mo n BIOS nyan and it's teling u n combo drive yan,right?so pagbalik mo ng windows,check mo ulit ung drive,dapat at all cose it will tell you n cd drive yan.try mo ulit pasukin ung properties nung drive,kung wala p din recording tab yan e remove mo ung nero,restart mo ung pc then try checking it again kc there are times that it's the burning software that's causing the problem e.me conflict ung driver ng nero sa driver ng windows para dun sa combo drive

[moichi]

sirs, question po.

 

yung computer ko, bumagal ang performance. nung nag-task manager ako, i saw about 40 processes na sabay sabay.

 

pano po ba malalaman kung alin yung essential at alin yung pwede na itigil dun?

come to think of it. i check the info when i opened nero startmart and this what came out:

 

you are using a nero express oem version. this version does not include nero burning rom. if you want to use nero burning rom please purchase the retail version. visit our website etc.

 

pero bakit before, nakaka burn ako. naka ilang cd na rin ang naburn ko......

try to use google.you will know there kung alin ang valid.try mo din mag-msconfig para disable mo ung d kelangan n services at programs sa background ng pc.mag defrag k din at disc clean up k din para malinis PC mo... pasok k din ng prefetch folder ,click mo ung start then run then type mo prefetch,me ipapakita s u n window then delete mo lahat ng laman nung prefetch.

here'w what you need:

 

1. WiFi router. Any brand will do.

2. PCI WiFi card for your desktop.

3. WiFi cardbus or USB wifi for your laptop if your laptop has no built-in WiFi. If it does have it then disregard buying this.

 

After buying these, now would be a good time to READ THE ACCOMPANYING MANUALS.

 

Attach the PCI WiFi card in an available slot inside your desktop CPU. after attaching the PCI card, install the necessary drivers.

 

Attach the CAT-5 cable from the modem to your wireless router. depending on the brand, enable the security feature (specifically enable encryption) in your router and then take note of the key. also, you need to configure your WAN connection PPPoE to enable automatic connection. READ THE ACCOMPANYING MANUAL. BTW, you should have your username and password handy as it is necessary for configuring your router. as an after thought, you need to change the default username and password to access your router, or else anyone can just use your internet connection.

 

connect to the internet via WiFi configuration. make sure the WiFi adapter is enabled in your laptop. there should be a switch or a function key to turn it on.

 

the most important thing to remember is to never tell bayantel that you have attached a router or else you would be charged extra. never call them up and say "hey guys, I have a wireless router here and I was wondering if a technician can come over and install it since I do not know how to set it up". Believe me, they will ask P300.00 just to setup your router. I've got a neighbor who did just that.

[frickph]

i will check kung meron k p pwedeng magamit maliban sa nero.

 

 

bro my colleagues told me that you can try roxio or sonic. Some stalls have that kind of program and it has the same function as nero.simple task din ung binibigay nya pag magbeburn k ng files on a disc.

[moichi]

try to use google.you will know there kung alin ang valid.try mo din mag-msconfig para disable mo ung d kelangan n services at programs sa background ng pc.mag defrag k din at disc clean up k din para malinis PC mo... pasok k din ng prefetch folder ,click mo ung start then run then type mo prefetch,me ipapakita s u n window then delete mo lahat ng laman nung prefetch.

 

 

salamat po

 

will try this then give you feedback what happens next

 

salamat po uli

frickph. thanks man for the help. will try your recos.
