Is there any difference from formatting a hard drive and reseting a system back to factory settings.

When you format you lose all your files, that's the difference.

You noticed this after changing your power button?

I don't think fault is from the power button though, see a laptop technician.

Plus hinges?

Used or new?
To get the new one might be a little difficult since it's an old model.

For the used just budget 4-5k plus hinges #3k-4k for both.

Note that price can change due to this lock down.

So the price with hinges would be around 4k right?

Get malwarebytes and scan your laptop thoroughly, your laptop is infected with a virus. Don't waste any time, you don't know how bad the virus could be.

When you reset it, there are options to choose so you choose to keep your files.

Good morning here.
Please I need someone to recommend a good engineer in Ibadan to fix my laptop.
The laptop will on but after shutdown it will take time b4 it powers on again and this time I will have to remove the battery. I have tried some alternatives by changing charger, battery etc yet the problem persists. I took it to an engineer here to fix, he said I will need to change the power switch board but he doesn't have the spare part. I would like to take it to Ibadan myself to fix since its closer to where I am. Laptop is Asus X55A.
Thanks.

.... The back light screen of my laptop just went off suddenly and ever since, it's doesn't come on except for a second when it just comes on and goes off immediately, after then, nothing.

I have researched about it and I have drawn two conclusions:

1. One, the inverter in the screen might have shaken or entirely faulty;

2. My battery might need replacement.

So, I would like to know if my drawn conclusions are correct or if there's more to this. Thanks

The laptop powers on well but doesn't display right?

You said the back light went off, can you see any character displayed on the screen if you point a torch to it?

Yes, it just blinks then goes off, and yes; I can see everything if I use another source of light pointed at the screen. I forgot to mention that.

Fault can be from the screen or motherboard, you just have to take it to a laptop technician for diagnoses.

Uhm, can you recommend anyone you know in Lagos? I will be grateful if you can. Thanks.

Whenever I am watching video on my laptop, after sometime the video will suddenly freeze and start again after some mins/secs. What could be the cause and solution to this?

the guy said it is the processor that has fault, he asked me how long I left the laptop before repairing the power button

Check if it goes off at a particular time, let's say every 4 mins or 5mins.

hello my laptop just started this thing with the mouse where I cannot right click or left click on anything other than the icons on the taskbar and other times I cannot click on anything on the taskbar (including the home icon) but I can click on anything else on the screen

what could be the cause of this

If it powers on, then work for like 3-4mins and then power off at exactly the same time always, then it's probably a corrupt ME region (Intel management engine) it's inside the main bios chip, that's part of it systoms, it needs to be upgraded or just flash a another bios.

I don't know oooo lipsrsealed but you can simply go to device settings, uninstall the mouse driver and restart your system, it automatically install it back, then check to see if it will respond. If problem persist, do a window restore or simply reinstall your operating system.

I guessed, but can the processor make a system do like that?
