A number of problems with my HP-655

Iv'e had this laptop for nearly 2 years, but actually using the thing for about 6-7 months because its been sat in a laptop bag due to it not functioning AT ALL.
1. After 3-4 months of getting it, it would not boot up, i got the black screen and blinking caps lock ( which im aware is coding for a cpu failure an other things like that ) after about a week straight of trying i gave up, put it in a laptop bag an didnt get it back out agen for about a year. ( i had yet ANOTHER hp compaq laptop prior to this one that did the same thing. )
2. i got the laptop out one day and it decided to boot up. it gave me the option to do a system restore, which i did.
    That seemed to do the trick, so after i was done using it, i tried to shut it down. it would get to the blue screen ' shutting down ' and would just stay like that....
3. For some reason everytime i booted it up again it asked me to system restore, i must of done this 6-7 before it stopped.
4. After about a week of it functioning well again, out of the blue, the keyboard started started typing specific                          keys like they were being pressed and held down and because of this the keys that turn up and down the screen
   brightness have been affected as my brightness jus goes down randomly ( when it feels like it ) which it will do for quite a while at times, its quite annoying having a picture of a brightness symbol constantly in the middle of the screen.
So i have had quite a few problems with this, i got this with a phone contract which was nice but if you are going to pay money for something every month, you expect the thing to at least function perfectly. i didnt have insurance for this laptop so i have not bothered to contact HP and im pretty sure the warrenty has well ran out by now. it seems to jus come down to faulty hardware.

Hello, @chris_66 
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP ProBook 655 G1 Notebook PC is a commercial product. You can do this at Notebook - HP ProBook, ZBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:

    Hi Cheryl,
    I used the trx SMARTFORMS to upload all of the forms mentioned.  This earlier thread with one of my questions answered might be helpful to you.
    OSS Note 1535966 - a Smartforms question
    Also, you may need to change the package for some of the forms to ID-FI-US as the note suggests.  Use trx SE03 to change the package for a form that might not already be in package ID-FI-US.
    We only use form MISC and none of the others, but I uploaded and did the note steps for all anyway.
    I think this note lacks a bit of clarity.
    Thanks

  • It seems that a very large number of people are re-installing verson 3.6 due to the vast number of problems with the latest version, will this force an extension of the support cutoff date for version 3.6?

    Been running ver 3.6 ever since it came out and it's only crashed a few times. No other problems at all

    We had to do some serious gymnastics to remove at least most of the ability to use IPB. We removed it from the gui, but unfortunately, if they know the hotkey, they can still bring it up. Security has some serious headaches with this, as by law they have to be able to track where students go, and going with private browsing removes their ability to do forensic work they're required to be able to do. Not a very well thought out feature from Mozilla in my opinion, but it is what it is. Successive versions have made it even more difficult to remove even the gui portion.
    We do plan to release ESR due to the aforementioned security issues, but testing has been slow.
    But thanks for the reply. I think we can turn off the updates if it isn't already done.

  • Problems with AEBS recognising MAC OS Extended USB hard drive

    I've just bought the AEBS(n) and connected a hard drive via the usb port. Everything works fine - however when I get info it shows that the format is Appleshare! The hard drive is actually formatted as a MAC OS Extended (journaled) as this is confirmed if I connect the drive directly to my iMac.
    Although this may not seem to be a problem as I can read and write to the disk, if I use iMovie it does not recognise the disk and therefore not show my iMovie events, even though there are on the drive and states that i must have a MAC OS extended drive.
    I don't know how to ensure that AEBS shows the correct format of the drive so I won't have this problem?
    The other thing is that when I use the Aiport Disk Utility it does not show the name of my hard drive in the window, instead the name of the AEBS shows!!??

    I think there are a number of problems with the AEBS USB disk support.
    - I have a 1 GB flash drive (solid state) that works fine on the AEBS.
    - however I also have a 75 GB 2.5 inch Hitachi external USB drive that works fine on all my macs but can not connect to the AEBS. After talking to Apple there seems to be a list of 'supported drives' for AEBS USB drives but I've never seen it and nobody at Apple has it (or at least could send it to me).
    - my AEBS has crashed several times when I hook up the Hitachi drive, forcing me to attach the drive to a mac and run disk utility for a disk repair (I guess the AEBS has no disk repair function).
    - and it is slooowwww ....
    - if you use a USB hub there seems to be a lot more issues -- especially if the hub is USB 1.1 and not USB 2.0.
    maybe there will be a firmware update. I know I have filed Radar problems on all these issues....

    hi all - hoping you can help
    since software updating on sunday morning i cannot get my mac to stream my squeezebox - i checked the system preferences and the stream was off - clicked start then a couple of seconds later it reverted to off again
    can anyone help - it really is annoying me!

    all the best

    Hello again Darren - If you've had a number of problems with the latest update, I suggest you perform an Archive and Install and then, if you feel like it, upgrade to 104.10 using the 10.4.10 combo updater, which I always find less buggy than the delta update.

  • Problem with underground cable - engineer visit re...

    I reported a fault on my line last week, and an Openreach engineer turned up on Friday and confirmed that the fault was in an undergound cable on public land, and not within the boundary of my property. There are two nearby BT access covers in the public footpath outside - apparently the line is ok from the house to the nearest box, and the fault is between that box and the next one.
    According to the Openreach engineer, the next step would be for them to come out and trace the exact location of the fault (which wouldn't require access to my property), then the footpath would be dug up so that the cable could be renewed or repaired.
    It appears that BT Retail has a different viewpoint to that of Openreach, as the fault summary on bt.com now says that an engineer visit is required. However, until the cable is repaired I haven't a clue what this is supposed to achieve that the first one didn't.
    Is this a case of Openreach and BT Retail struggling to communicate properly with each other, or is there actually some point to having another engineer visit that I may have missed? Before I arrange to take yet time off work to wait for an engineer, I'd like to make sure that it's really necessary.

    The plot thickens...
    Wife phoned to try to find out more, and during a rather frustrating phone call she was informed that the fault outside was fixed on Sunday morning, and they now want an engineer to come and check that it works up to the house. Plus the usual threat of a £129 charge. So we have an engineer booked to visit on Friday morning.
    I do have a number of problems with the statements made by the individual that my wife spoke to:
    1. An Openreach engineer has already checked that the line is ok from the master socket to the BT "hole in the ground" located 12 metres away, on public land and not within the property boundary. He estimated that the fault in the cable was 15 metres away, between the nearest access point and the next one (which is about 16 metres away).
    2. I'd have thought that we'd have noticed someone digging up the tarmac on a Sunday morning, in view of the front window, but we didn't. Neither did we notice them filling in the hole afterwards. Perhaps Openreach employ silent (and invisible) contractors to dig up the roads at weekends.
    3. More importantly, the line is a dead as ever, and dialling it from a different line or a mobile always gets an engaged tone - this hasn't changed since the fault was reported to BT.
    I'd certainly not be very happy with a £129 charge, particularly as if the problem is within our boundary the engineer that came last week should have found it. Hopefully Friday won't be a total waste of time, for me or for the Openreach engineer, but not holding out much hope at the moment as nothing seems to have changed since the first visit.
    On the plus side, it's been quieter in the evenings as the telespammers haven't been able to get through for the past week or so!

  • WIN/Vista, PSE 7.0:  Organizer problems with dates

    Im working with our scanned photos now, so there is no EXIF data and the only dates are the scanned date and any later corrections in Photoshop CS3 before or after importing into PSE 7.0. I now have two date related problems that I didnt have with PE 5.0.
    1) In the Organizer view, when I right click on the date to bring up the Adjust Date and Time screen, then click on Change to a specified date and time and click OK the day automatically changes to a day earlier, which has caused much confusion since all I am wanting to do is set a time to sequence photos from multiple cameras. How do I keep it from automatically changing the date?
    2) Also, Ive had multiple times that Ive changed the date on a couple of photos and PSE 7 will place them incorrectly so that they are non-chronological. Specifically I now have two photos from a string of many on Dec 24 & 25, and some on Dec 26 and after. These two photos belong on Dec 26 chronologically, as well as where they fit in my file naming system. If I change the date on these to 12/26/1976, though, they are placed in my 12/25/1976 photos, not 12/26 where they should be. I have another photo dated 1/17/1977 that PSE has placed between 1/16 and 1/9/1977.
    I thought these were quirky enough that I actually removed and reinstalled PSE 7.0, but these issues are unchanged.
    FYI: Settings in Edit>Preferences:
    General/Display Options/Date (Newest First): Show Newest First within Each Day is selected
    Files/File Options: Use Last Modified Date if EXIF . . . is unchecked.

    > In the Organizer view, when I right click on the date to bring up the "Adjust Date and Time" screen, then click on "Change to a specified date and time" and click "OK" the day automatically changes to a day earlier, which has caused much confusion since all I am wanting to do is set a time to sequence photos from multiple cameras.

    When a photo has a date but unknown time, PSE 6 and 7 (and perhaps 5 too) behave this way. Its a bug thats been reported to Adobe.

    When this happens, which view are you in? Display > Thumbnail View or Display > Folder Location view? Is this using Smart Albums to search by date? If this is still happening, can you upload a screen shot, the incorrect 12/26/1976 photo, and the adjacent 12/25/1976 photo? You can post these for free at www.pixentral.com. Ill take a look at their metadata.
    There are a number of problems with time unknown, so Ive stopped using it:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b6aaa0
    In particular:
    - Search with date ranges doesnt properly handle time unknown.
    - Other tools, such as Vista Explorer, dont correctly handle dates with time unknown in metadata written by PSE.
    - If you have a series of slides youve scanned, you know their relative time ordering (due to the slide numbering) but not their absolute time. Theres no convenient way of preserving that ordering within PSE thumbnail view if you use time unknown.
    So instead of unknown, I assign the times 12:00 AM, 12:05 AM, 12:10 AM, etc. (leaving gaps in case I need to insert another scan later).

  • If you have problems with your ipod turning off and charging look at this..

    I have to send in my 80gb ipod video because I am having problems with the battery,I charge it until it says charged and in ten min it shuts off and when I try to turn it on it says that there is not enough battery life to even turn on so i called it in and they told me that I have short battery life and that I have to send it in and they will fix it...If anybody out there has the same problem call it in and they will replace it...and if you don't have the number here it is:1-800-275-2273

    hey man I'm glad they replaced it...but if you look
    most of the problems are with the battery or the hard
    drive...I know that people make mistakes and I do not
    expect it to be perfect,but some people expect for it
    to be working perfect...and those people tell other
    people that there product was defective,and that's
    how Apple loose customers..I didn't say I was Mad...I
    don't know why your getting mad, I'm sorry if I
    offended you, I was just trying to give Apple advice
    sorry.
    Not true, most problems are with software, then with the earphone jack I quote from a letter that I recieved from a service manager that I worked with several years ago who wrote me two weeks ago and I am quoting. "Although the percentage is small it seems that if I had to put it into words I would say that software glitches seem to be the number one problem with the earphone jack a close second. Although both are not a major percentage. All in all it is a great product." Not mad,and sure that Apple will be far better off with your advice. Maybe they will move up from the number one maker of the number one mp3 player in the world and make some serious money with it now that they have it. But be advised that they do not monitor this for advice. You might want to try here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    and I will run out and buy more stock.

  • Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13.  Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up.  Help?

    I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13.  One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening.  I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back.  It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly.  Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
    Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone.  Any suggestiosn?

    If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
    the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
    1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
    2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
    3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
    And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
    The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
    It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
    Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
    Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.
    As for
    I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13.  One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening.  I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back.  It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly.  Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
    I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
    Please review the above
    a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
    b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion, I have had a number of problems with Mail.  At the moment, it is predominantly when my desktop imac goes to sleep overnight. In the morning, it will not receive mail. The app will not close, so I force quit it.  Trying to reopen Mail after that just does not happen, so I have to restart my machine to get things going again. Any tips?

    If 10.7.0 or later...

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

    Is there a phone number to call Adobe.  I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs?  Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air.  It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low.  I stopped and tried to delete LR files.  I couldn't do it.  I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR.  I contacted Apple.  They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them.  I have several back-ups.  Thanks - Arthur

    This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
    That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you.

    Hans

    Hi,
    Since you already have one copy activated the serial number must be logged in your account details - I would first check that the one logged and the one you are attempting to enter are the same.
    You can check your account details by going to www.adobe.com and clicking on Manage Account. You need to sign in with your Adobe Id and then click on View All under Plans & Products. Next click on View your products and after a while it should produce your list.
    If there is a problem with the serial number, only Adobe can help you there (we are just users). Please see the response in this thread
