  • Laptop does not charger and cannot get into the Bios, help!

    Hi, I own an Acer Aspire 6935 G, so far he treated me so. Recently, the charger port broken (one of the wires came loose). I have brought a replacement and mounted in it, but on my charger fuse blew!

    Then I took another replacement just to the case where there has been previous replacement I bought and nothing major, new replacement seems to work well (lighs load lights up) but it does not all power in the laptop. Witnesses of load lights as indicated, but the laptop won't before the Acer splash screen. Due to the battery being dead, I can't access bios set up so I can check the status of my laptop not enter recovery. I was wondering if it could be something other than a hardware problem, and if this is the case; It is expensive to do is fixed or am I better off buying a new laptop?

    Thanks in advance!

    This is a:

    Acer Aspire

    6935G

    Intel Core DuoT6400

    4 GB OF RAM

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    Edit: There is think beep when the chargers plugged into the lapto, if that makes a difference?

    Lugman > recently, the charger port broken (one of the wires came loose). I have brought a replacement and mounted in it, but blew the fuse on my charger! >>>

    Sorry, but it does look like a hardware problem. Sounds like the power supply may be about to blow another fuse. I think you have a short or large scale electric leakage somewhere that prevents charging of the battery and power - it but maybe not enough (yet) to blow another fuse or switch off the LEDs.

    First remove the battery and power connections before you tear things. The first place I would look is around the port of loading where your problems started and hope that it's not deeper in the system where it can cause some MB or more serious damage. Look for the places where the lines of welding on the System Board may be in contact with a screw or a metal on the ground. While you're there, reconnect both ends of all accessible Ribbon (like the video and keyboard) connectors. Also to the HARD drive, modules of memory vivid and all the other connectors for component for good measure.

    Once you have checked everything, and before you have wound all caches and screws, see if you can carefully insert the battery into the receptacle and plug the charger. Don't try to power. You can do this on an insulating surface to avoid the land of naked drivers. The LED light looks like he is in charge? If so, let it continue to charge without trying to power on. I think after 4-5 hours, the led that would indicate a fully charged battery. If so, I would try and then power on. If not, and it's still seems to be in charge, stop, do not try to and we will draw the next steps.

    burningbush,
    It can also be a problem with the game running through Facebook server.  I noticed a difference in great step lately with Farmville on Facebook compared to when I started playing.  You should check to see if it seems to be the same on the other PC.  I noticed the problem on several machines in different places, so I know that it was not limited to a PC.

  • I have a new laptop with Windows 7. The navigation (?) bar comes and goes, depending on the position of the cursor. I wish it were still visible. What should do?

    I just downloaded and configured FireFox for my new computer with Windows 7. I've included restaurateur Classic theme in my Add ons. I have only 1 bar (Navigation (?)) at the top of the screen, under the tabs. It has everything I need in there, but I want it to be stationary, rather than appearing when I move the cursor towards it & if I move the cursor away in endangered. I would like to be able to see the bar without having to stop what I'm doing to make it reappear. This seems to be a novelty. My old version of several weeks, do not. Help, please. Thank you...

    I can't think of anyway to make the Navigation bar appear/disappear based on the direction in which you move your mouse.

    Well, there is the view full screen, where the area of entire toolbar including the tabs slide bar up out of the screen and reappears if you drag the pointer of the mouse completely to the top. (You can use the F11 key to activate the full screen on and outside).

    Is it possible, that there is an option of one of your extensions?

    i. right click on the game (on the .exe file)

    II. click on properties

    III. click on the Compatibility tab

    IV. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select windows vista

  • I have a new laptop with Firefox 3.6.13. When I go home, an additional page, empty, with "Untitled" tab also EOP.

    I installed Firefox 3.6.13 on a new laptop. Whenever I hit the Home icon, I go to the home page and an extra, blank page also. The extra page has a tab "Untitled." This does not happen with my desktop computer, also running 3.6.13, or IE. This does not happen with the other pages. If I repeatedly hit the homepage icon, an extra page opens for each entry.

    Make sure that nothing beats a vertical bar symbol (|) annexed to the homepage layout in tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage

  • New just installed Windows Vista, unable to connect to wireless networks

    So a few months ago my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) fell from my bed and the hard drive was messed up, so I'm a computer geek friend to replace my hard drive and put a new operating system on it, he had no activation key. In any case, after I came back it was working fine and I was able to use the internet by connecting to public networks, but every time I would connect to my computer it asked me to activate it. And finally I got so bored with being bugged that I decided to buy a new product key, so that he'd stop bugging me. So I bought a new Windows Vista Home premium operating system and when I received it in the mail, I installed correctly and put in the product key and active it and all that much good but whenever I try to connect to the internet that it says "Windows cannot find wireless networks" and when I click on "Diagnose this problem" he says "this computer does not have an install_ adapter of» configured wireless network. and then it gives me options troubleshooting that brings me at all because most of them consist in some way to update my drivers online, but I can't online my laptop to update! and all the other solutions are just confused. Is there a reason why my "driver" would stop working AFTER you install Windows Vista? Or is there some way I can uninstall the operating system and just use the one I had before? Help please!

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

    See you soon.
