Laptop/notebook computer problems

Before I share my recent interesting outtings/photos,
I have to deal with some problems with my laptop.
Ok I try to calm down, try find out the cause & find solution.
Update:
Laptop computer HP ProBook---
1-- USB ports stopped working.
(it means, mouse, tablet/stylus, camera, phone,
USB finger drives, etc, can not be used with the laptop)

2-- Funny noise on the right hand side.

After 1.5 years & much effort searching and asking,
I switched off the bluetooth just over 10 days ago.
Good. No more funny noise.
Good. No more extra numerous bluetooth thingie in device manager.
Good. Some USB ports can at least be used to charge mobile phone/cell phone.
... I thought everything was fine.

Tonight, I notice battery issue:
Charger plugged in but battery not charging.
So I searched www.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/USB-Ports-on-HP-Probook-4520s-don-t-work/td-p/575567

So there are people who have similar problems for some years.
I learnt from there the 3 USB ports are not the same.
"According to the Service Manual, the two ports on the left are incorporated into the motherboard, whereas the two problematic USB ports on the right are connected to the motherboard with a USB connector and a Base Cable Kit."

Actually I searched more and even tried to switched off the
USB save-battery auto-off option in power management.
Power setting & USB port/drives are related.

Still it is not reading USB drive or my phone,etc.

I searched & found this:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/ProBook-4540s-not-charging/td-p/4635176

I followed the steps suggested there like,
uninstalling ACPI compliant control method battery,
unplugging charger, removing battery,
pressing power button, re-plug everything... 

And also the three steps to use HP support assistant to
do HP Battery Check.

Answer found:
Battery failure...  needs to be replaced.

  (T.T)

Well, at least now I know,

1-- I can try to replace battery.

2--  it is another reflection of the fact/ law
about the weakest link --
Laptop computers even from very good brandnames,
are as good as ... its weakest link.


Please bear with me.
After problems are solved one by one...
I shall share more...

visited a small fortress/military museum


 The moat became dry.


wide angle view of the roof. (click to enlarge pictures)

Circular Rails enable wide angles.... 

 
magazine here means the storage for...



a model of the mini fortress.
Guns were install at the roof. 360 degree defence.

Historical events/sites/museums are good places to remind people

about searching & re-discovering ancestral roots

 Each of the small rooms were the sleeping room for several soldiers.
The five lower parts are last defence just in case enemy come into the fortress from the high walls.


Unexpected to see a Japanese sword there.
Probably captured from Japanese soldiers during the WWI or WWII?

I didn't know that there are wavy temperline at the sharp edge of Japanese sword (katana)












After the war, it has been used as music, model land, etc.

Annual heritage day / open day. Free of charge.

There is a cafe inside.

click click click and found more

www is wonderful
 where I saw people sharing
antique versions of translated bibles
page by page HD images and searchable!
 where I also saw people sharing
some of the books of bible
which were either lost or edited out
by Constantine, other monachs in Europe & the Vatican...

The Nag Hammadi Library

Hope more truth come out.

Hope the more complete teaching of Jesus come out.


Gospel/Book of Thomas,
Gospel/Book of Philip,
Gospel/Book of Mary Magdelene,
Gospel/Book of Egyptian,
Book of Truth,
Apocryphon secret book of John,
Apocryphon revelation of James,
Apocryphon revelation of Paul,
Apocryphon of Adam,
The Acts of Peter & the Twelve Apostles,
Prayer of Paul,
and many more.


Also on www,
I saw resource saying that
Jesus had lived and learned in Egypt, India and Tibet.

Nazareth Jesus & Essenes.

He could be
vegetarian#,
fasting,
wearing white robes,
meditating,
doing yoga,
knowing about the chakras & other esoteric stuff,
which were all edited out by the medieval kings ...

Some even said he continued to live in India
and died there many years afterwards.

Believes, Faith, Teachings,
Esoteric...
East & West....
Hope that truth will be out and
see all religions were actually same teachings.


# many ancient religions teach about vegetarianism.

Laptop incident: problem solved.

A little sharing.
My laptop had been out of order for over a year.
All USB ports stopped functioning.
The touch pad double-tap lock on/off did not work any more.
String noise ocassionally.
I asked various shops, 
searched internet, 
brought it to waited and asked people. 

I tried several tips found on internet but still couldn't.
Although the last person I took my laptop for him to check
 did not find cause or solution, 
the interaction prompted me to notice one thing.

So
 I tried to turned off blue tooth.
It solved the problems.
Except one USB port was physically out of order.
 Other two are responsive.  :)
Touch pad function normal again.
And it is quiet so far (two days now).
Eventually.

p.s.  some issues & further investigations,
  please see

Summer 1

More outdoor events were held during Summer months.  E.g. Airbourne.

It was nice for tourists/visitors.
I did not spent all day there.
Nice to see them ...

Some aeroplanes are very noisy!

Some air stunt performances with colour smoke are dreamy
like drawing on sky with chalk!

The show was part of the fun,
the food ,  drink , snacks, toys, and other stalls ... music,.... All add to give it like a holiday festive feel.

More photos to be posted later.
