How to find GUID From MSI File

Typically (though not universally) if a piece of software uses MSI-based installation the GUID can be found in the Uninstall entry. It will usually either be the key name or will appear in the UninstallString and/or UninstallPath value. Sometimes life is easy and there is a ProductGuid value.

Uninstall entries can be found here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

On a 64-bit version of Windows there are two such keys, one for 64-bit software and a second for 32-bit software:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

HiSense Chromebook 11 battery doesn’t charge

I just noticed the battery on my HiSense Chromebook 11 doesn’t charge anymore. The little light next to the power cable is just blinking red on the chromebook.

I tried these steps to fix the issue:

  • Unplug the laptop.
  • remove all of the small screws.
  • Gently ‘pop’ the edges of the laptop’s cover open. They have tiny clips around the outside.
  • As you remove the cover, do it slowly.
  • Locate the small connecting wire between the battery and the motherboard.
  • Unplug this connection. It’s small and delicate,
  • plug the power supply back in to the laptop and turn the power on. Leave the laptop itself turned off, just supply it some power. Don’t touch anything inside the laptop This step is to get the laptop detect the is no battery connected.
  • Wait around 30 seconds. The LED for the battery indicator should change to red. The Chromebook is stating that it can’t find the battery.
  • Turn the power back off again.
  • Plug the battery connection back in to the motherboard
  • Put the cover back on, gently clipping it back in to place.
  • Plug the laptop back in once more and turn it on. Boot it up.
  • Hopefully, it should now be charging,
  • If this doesn’t fix it you will need a new battery or use it as a desktop PC

It took a long time but this fixed the issue. Mail icon in the Control Panel will now open again with no error.
