The PC and Laptop Repair Guide


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon.

 

 

May Laptop ako na Dell L400 w/o CD rom yon, the problem is nasira yung Windows nya. Panu ko po lalagyan ng windows ulit yon? Pwede po ba external na HDD? Meron din akong internal na CD ROM (Convert ko to External), pwede ko rin po bang gamitin yon?

 

TY po..

 

 

You have two options:

First Option:

 

- copy the contents of the installer into your external HDD. Pero ang problem mo ngayon is pano mo kokopyahin? Hanap ka muna ng may CD-ROM na PC, tapos dun mo i-copy.

 

Second Option:

- buy an external CD-ROM drive. But i would recommend that since bibili ka na rin naman, bili ka na ng DVD-Writer na external.

 

In both cases, you have to tweak your CMOS so that your first boot priority will be the USB Drive. And while you are at the CMOS level, ensure that your USB devices are enabled by the CMOS itself.

 

To answer your other question, converting your current internal CD-ROM drive to external is not possible. Imho, wala pa akong nakikitang enclosure for CD-ROMS....

I got a 2nd hand Sony VAIO. I need to make it boot on CD but the BIOS is password protected and I can't get in. I've tried bringing it to a laptop shop at the Podium but they couldn't get in either. Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

the CMOS should be reset(ted).

 

try to remove the CMOS battery first. I just dont know if it will work. But in most cases, it should.

the second option is resetting it via a jumper. Most motherboards have a three-pin header on the motherboard usually located near a coin battery (looks like a silver coin with very fine engraved print on the surface). Two heads (little silver pins sticking out of the motherboard) of the three-pin header will be covered by a rectangular piece of plastic with some metal inside connecting the two pins (these are called jumpers). All you need to do is make sure the computer is off, move the jumper from the two pins it's covering to cover the pin that it isn't and also the central pin. Leave it sit here for a few seconds then move it back to the original position.

 

Some of the more modern motherboards have a button instead of a three-pin head. All you need to do for these motherboards is turn off the machine, push the button, and start it up again.

sabi nung isang IT namin yung internal CD ROM daw ay pwedeng gamitan ng USD to IDE adaptor eh... Mura lang daw yung adaptor na yun. Tama po ba?

technically pwede yan, but it may not function properly compared if you would use a direct USB connection.

masters i need your help very badly I accidentally formatted yung laptop ko wla ako back up nung mga files ko,any suggestions or software pano ko po ma retrieve yung mga files ko...pls lng po,tnx in advanced!!!

 

when you formatted your laptop, did you use a new file structure (e.g. FAT32 - NTFS)?

if yes, it may be quite impossible to recover your files.

 

and even if you did not, not all your files may be recovered.

 

tanong ko lang... bakit mo naman na reformat accidentally?

 

 

hello guys, problem ko yung laptop ko na dell 9300 nagkakavertical lines sa screen, habang tumatagal dumadami, san kaya maganda parepair, yung palit ng lcd, tnx

 

 

connect mo muna yung unit mo sa external monitor. baka video card lang ang problem.

your unit's specs seems ok enough.

does it boot from safe mode?

if not, try to reset the CMOS as i've stated above.

mga bossing advice naman po...pag po sa Windows Media Player may sound po ang at gumagana ang aking Speakers...pero pag sa YouTube at sa iba ay ayaw na pong gumana at wala na pong sounds...help naman po mga experts...

 

 

Visit a web page with a Flash video embedded on the page.

Click on the Flash video to activate the Flash plugin (only on SP2 or above), then right click on video to display the Flash properties menu.

 

 

Click on “Settings” on contextual menu, then click the “Advanced…” button.

 

 

A new web page window will launch loading Adobe - Flash Player - Manager. On the left pane, click on “Global Storage Settings Panel” link under “Flash Player Help Settings Manager” sub-section under “Table of Contents” section.

A Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager applet will load on the right pane as a Flash object. Check (tick) the “Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer” checkbox so that it’s checked. The settings should be auto-save, if the setting is not saved, try to close all Internet Explorer or Firefox web browser windows and launch the Flash Manager to set the option again.

 

 

Try to play Flash video. The sound should be played properly.

 

(nakuha ko sa isang website ) :P

This problem just recently popped up. Sometimes while I'm using my computer, it would just suddenly turn off as if there was a sudden power outage. At the same time, I would hear a hard click, like the sound of a plastic spoon/fork being broken, coming from the tower. What could possibly be causing this?

sounds like a power supply failure

If it is the power supply, should I have it repaired or just buy a new one?

 

 

buy a new one. mura lang yun. its safer than having to have your existing PS repaired.

 

Mga masters baka naman may alam kayo n nagrerepair ng laptop yun kasi screen ng ko vaio vgnfe31h e ngcrack kalahati n lng nkkita ko n display.How much kaya po aabutin noon?

 

meron sa mga SM malls eh, i just forgot the name of the shop.

meron din sa Festival Mall alabang, if you are down south.

Go to Sony's service center especially if it's still under warranty... Brand new TFT LCD are very expensive. Minimum of 6K depending on the size and feature. If you can't afford one, go for secondhands.

 

Try to go to SM Megamall's Cyber Zone. There's also a laptop repair center there. They may carry a compatible secondhand TFT LCD for your unit.

Anyone can give diagnosis to this problem:

 

My friend has Toshiba Satellite LT. When turning on the power, it doesn't boot and there is no display on the monitor and no sound or beep to indicate an error. I've remove the RAMs and power on the laptop but again there is no sound or error indication. I have notice also that when I power on the laptop, the HDD led will light a few second then it will off leaving the power lead on. When I press the Fn key while the power is on, the Fn led lights which means there no problem on the power supply, however, the DVD ROM drive does not open when pressing the open button and no light on its led indicator. The laptop is only 1.5 year and this is the first time this problem occur. Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks

 

 

looks like a mobo issue.

try muna to reset the CMOS. and try to reboot again.
