Trouble-shooting HP G62 Display Problem

Your laptop `s display blanks on boot up I.e no display at all! You need not worry. This is a common fixable issue.

In my 3 years dealing with laptop issues, I have on many occasions,to deal with laptop display issues and fortunately, I have solved quite a number by the trouble-shoot procedure I am about to give. There`s a possibility that your
Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) is not seated well on your motherboard.

To fix this, kindly switch your laptop off and power it on while pressing on the keypad. If this fixs it, well and good. But if it doesn`t, there are still a few things to determine.
The second possibility is a motherboard issue. Kindly connect your laptop to an external display and press a combination of fn +f3 or fn +f4/f6 depending on your
model(Kindly confirm from your user manual how to switch between displays). Ensure the connection is correct and firm. If there`s a display on the output, it implies
that the issue might be with the your laptop`s screen.

The other scenario is that the external display may not show any image as well! Quite alarming, uh! But you need not worry. We still have to go through some procedures.
For the first scenario above, that there`s no display on external monitor, you might have to try a new Graphics Card as this maybe the possible cause. This needs experience and time and therefore you may have to visit a computer repair shop.

The second scenario whereby, there`s a display on external output but no display on the laptop, may imply a laptop backlight failure. Kindly ascertain this issue by using a spotlight to check for any blurred display on the screen. If this is the case, then your backlight`s issue will have to be fixed by a technician.

Generally it is the failure of inverter that sends the voltage to the backlight. Kindly take your laptop to a nearby repair shop for fixation.
Thank you for going through this piece of information, I hope it came handy.

How To Speed Up Your Windows PC By RAM Upgrade

RAM (Random Access Memory) is referred to as the working memory in a
computer as it is used to store temporarily current data in use. It
is through the RAM that the data can be accessed from the secondary
storages like hard disk, compact disks, USB and modified. It is what
enables you to view and modify what is in the secondary storage. This
is the procedure followed by every program or data before it's run or
loaded for use.
But sometimes you might have realized that some programs take too long
to load or running it forces the computer to hang. This is a common
issue with most PCs or phones that have got less memory. Technically,
the access of programs or data by the RAM is hindered due to
insufficient RAM storage. This may in most cases force the computer or
smart phones to forcefully restart or hang. This may slow work just as
smooth work flow would be hindered in a crowded and busy situation.
Whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes, the output is
always negatively affected. The computer gets slower and slower that
gaming, connecting to the internet to watch movies.
Even though there are software workaround to this slow computer speed
issue, I thought it necessary to outline this technical manual fix
even as I am working o a different article to help solve such issues
without necessarily having to open your system to upgrade RAM.
But before embarking on this, the first task is always to confirm if
indeed low RAM capacity is the issue and if it is how much memory is
required.
The below is the outlined procedure on ho to go about installing a RAM upgrade.
1. For windows operating systems, Right click on the "My Computer"
icon and select" properties" from the drop down menu. Under the
"System" category, you will be able to see your system's processor,
available memory etc.
2. Decide on what memory capacity you want to add. This might call for
some professional advice as some computer uses like gaming, video
editing always tend to require more RAM capacity as opposed to
typesetting. You also need to consider the minimum system requirement
for your PC.
3. Consult your manual or a computer technician on what RAM size and
type you may need for your system and the right computer shop where
you can get a genuine RAM.
4. After acquiring the right RAM for your system, switch off your PC,
and unplug all the power cables and all other peripherals (for
desktops). For laptops, just switch it off.
5. Open up the cover of the systems unit; unplug all the power supply
connections from the motherboard. Now locate on your motherboard where
the RAM modules should sit. This procedure is quite hectic for laptops
and it may require a skilled professional to do this.
6. Ensure you have the right module with you and then check for free
RAM slots on the motherboard. Otherwise you may have to replace a
smaller one.
Precautions
On removing or inserting RAM modules, always remember to hold RAM
modules by the sides as they are always sensitive to static charges.
7. Add the new RAM module by fitting it firmly in the slots ( the
notch is always to guide on the direction of insertion). It can only
fit in one direction. Finally close all the straps or clips at the
ends.
8. Reconnect all the motherboard connections, close back the cover.
A beep during boot up may mean either the RAM module was not correctly
fitted or it is incompatible after which you will have to open up the
systems unit to solve the issue. If it works all right it is ok. All
you may have to do is to confirm, using the procedure (1) above
whether the RAM is visible by your system.
On using your system you may realize your system speed has
significantly improved. Grin! Great to go, enjoy your games or video

Kindly let me know any issue you might be facing with your system
speed in the below comment box

Why printing may stay for longer

Printing which is the process of for reproducing text and images, typically with ink on paper using some sort of a device known as the printer seems to be getting popular day by day. The use of this process is popular with almost every individual/organization from across the earth’s surface. Talk of giant companies like Safaricom, Google, Kenya Airways among others, both small and medium, few dollars to multi-billion dollars are not left behind. This is because for over hundred years, various forms of printing have been used as a means of labeling, identification (branding) and beautification.

Logos, messages, instructions, pictures, letter heads, post cards, business cards among others which can be printed on virtually any surface from plastic, leather and glass to stainless steel as a way to enhance visual appeal and command a unique brand. This makes printing very relevant for both businesses and individual use.

It is however surprising that printing is gaining popularity amidst heightened campaigns for green technology. Well, quite ironical! I must say. The history of printing technology dates back to 3000BC. Which was in the early advent of civilization in Mesopotamia. During these period, people would use round cylinder seals to roll an impress onto clay tablets. It sounds a great achievement to the evolution of printing technology in this era where simple type writer, dot matrix printer would be regarded as an obsolete. It is a great milestone having turned from simple wood/clay/block printing to a cartridge technology that employs CIS(Continuous Ink Supply) system.

With such a level of technology evolution, it is a glaring fact that the demand for printing services is here to stay! We may talk of the need of green technology but this might be a far-fetched dream. This is because, despite having softcopies of our data, the hardcopy is always a surety i.e it serves as a security. Generally, most individuals prefer to back up data in soft-copies and retain the hardcopy. Incase of data loss, it is still retrievable.

For companies, businesses/organizations, it is a common scenario having professionally designed logos, letterheads, business cards, post cards, bronchures, flyers, banners and so forth, making this demand quite overwhelming.

Are you a business or organization? Do you have interest in any or all of our services? Do you want to increase your brand image to clients? Talk of self-promotion, individual identification; Visionary Technologies have services just tailored for you. Kindly go through the list of our services and contact us for details on how we can help
