tech support: ports(com & lpt) problem

[flakez]

mga mahusay sa pc hardware tulong naman. ung ports ko ayaw gumana. pag bagong bukas ung pc ayos galing sa matagal na pahinga ok siya, gumagana at nakakapag print ako. pero after ilang minutes ayaw na. kahit restart ko ayaw pa rin. nagkakaroon ng ! don sa device manager. ung floppy, saka ports ung nagkakaron ng !. kaya tuloy hindi ako makapagprint. nilinis ko na ganon pa rin.

tulong naman kung pano ayusin to. salamat!

i think you need to install (re-install) the correct printer driver

[nugundam93]

try to open device manager and uninstall the ports from there.

turn the computer off.

when you restart, go to the BIOS, and follow the steps there to reset BIOS settings and savce changes.

let windows go back up, redetect the ports, and hope this helps.

OT: go go go tech support guy... hehehe

[nugundam93]

ehehehehe naunahan lang kita :D

malamang ikaw sasagot nun eh.

[flakez]

*cozee, no problem with the drivers, pati nga reformat ginawa ko na. hehehe.

*nugundam, ok thanks. subukan ko na ngayon. will update you soon.

[kinyo]

baka sakaling makatulong ... palitan ang CMOS battery or at least clean its contacts if you are sure battery is still ok

[flakez]

*nugundam, sinubukan ko na ung sabi mo pero wala pa rin nangyari. hehehe. eto nga pala ung mga nakasulat sa status

lpt1:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

com3 and com4:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

meron pang ibang may !. pero sa ngayon yan muna mga concerns ko.

*kinyo, sige subukan ko din yan.

[nugundam93]

ngyaiks. pati load bios defaults ayaw?

[flakez]

mga bossing ayaw pa rin gumana.

[nugundam93]

baka os reinstall kababagsakan mo nito ah...

[flakez]

bossing ilang beses ko na rin na reinstall ung OS. hindi kaya flash ng BIOS kelangan nito? takot kasi ako mag flash baka mamaya hindi ko ma install ulit ung BIOS. hehehe.

[nugundam93]

pwede mo rin try yan. :D

Baka nga BIOS na yan, or mobo. Wag naman sana.

I've quit using legacy ports such as the serial and parallel ports. But, you can try a few things:

1. Make sure the bios and Windows have matching settings. Sometimes, Windows will read COM1 for a serial port, but not the bios. Check also your bios to make sure you have the right LPT setting. I normally left mine at 2-way traffic (bi-directional) when I was still using it.

2. Make sure the IRQ each port uses match up in both Windows and the bios.

3. Once these are done, Go to Start--->Programs--->Accessories--->System Tools and run System Information

In System Information, open Conflicts/Sharing and see which devices, if any, share an IRQ with your parallel port. Then you'll have a clearer view of what may be the problem.

4. You can also check and make sure you have a bi-directional cable connecting the pc and printer.

If at all possible, convert to usb and turn off the com/lpt ports.

baka mobo na yan...try to look at your mobo specially those capacitors...tingnan mo kung may mga leak..mapapansin mo yung
head ng capacitor lumolobo ..dapat flat yun..tapos parang may
brown thing na lumalabas.....

[jim]

when was the last time you cleaned the insides of your pc? pwede rin yung CMOS battery dry na. also check if your motherboard has moisture build up. isa pa......check the capacitors of your motherboard baka may mga leak na.

[umzzzzz]

OT: anu yung mobo? di ba kaya ng upgrade ng bios?

MOBO - shortcut for MOTHERBOARD

Go top CMOS setup bro, check mo yung parallel port mode to ECP/EPP mode or BIDERECTIONAL usually andoon lang problem.
