Did spyware removal on client computer. The client computer could not access any security website, such as avg.com, Symantec.com and prevx.com etc. Computer could not get IP addresses. The DNS server was check OK. One Windows Service called “SRVO6KO” was found running in background with two infected files: “C:\windows\system32\drivers\o6ko.sys” and “C:\windows\system32\o6ko.dll”. Ran command line and typed command “sc stop srvo6ko” and “sc delete svro6ko”. Then deleted the files “O6KO.SYS” and “O6KO.DLL”. Problem solved.

Gateway Laptop Main Fan Error 02FA

Client brought in a Gateway MT6728 laptop with error message "02FA Main Fan Error". The fan was checked not OK - It won't spin at all. Replaced with another fan, the fan spinned but the error msg was still there. I thought that meight be compatible issue. So I ordered one on Ebay. After the new fan was installed, error msg still there and would not go away even after I reset the BIOS. I thought it was a bad sensor and meight not be repairable - I had wasted my time and money. But just before I gave up, I did a search on Google. A lot of people got the same problem. Finally, I came across some information useful - If the fan is working, just unplug the battery and power it on with AC adapter. I tried that and I got the problem fixed.
