Compaq presario cq45 (volume keeps activating itself)

Hi, was wondering why the volume keeps activating itself.
There's a volume touch sensor on my laptop, although i didnt touch it, the volume screen keeps appearing and disappearing. 
It's very annoying when it appears because i cant click on the webpage.
I contacted the outlet salesman at hougang mall, he told me to reformat my laptop as it might be virus.
So i reformatted it, but i'm still experiencing the same problem.
what should i do now? 

No, i never heard that kind of virus.
Try to uninstall HP QuickTouch software from add/remove programs in control panel.

  • Iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down

    iphone 4 ringer volume keeps turning itself down?

    Hi cainstigator,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's volume setting not staying the way it should, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPhone 4S ring volume keeps turning itself down

    The ring volume keeps turning itself down, I have been into the Settings and turned OFF the "Change with buttons"
    and set the volume as high as it will go but after leaving the phone for an hour or so the volume is wound back to
    minimum again. Siri is turned off.

    Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down

    ipad Volume keeps turning itself all the way down rendomly i`ve tryed everything from upgrading to V5 to rest the device what should i do

    Is the switch above the volume set for mute?  Accidentally bumping that would turn down the volume.
    Try Settings > General > Lock Rotation to On and see if that eliminates the problem (although beware that the switch will now control screen rotation.  If sound starts working corrcetly, but your screen lock keeps setting, then I think you are having a switch problem.

  • Alert Volume Keeps Setting Itself to 0%

    Every hour or two applications like iChat will become silent, and under System Prefs > Sound > Sound Effects, my Alert volume slider will be set to 0.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this keeps happening?

    That's it! Thanks for the help!
    I thought it may be a shortcut to begin with, so I opened up the Sound preferences and hit ctrl + option + space but it would do nothing. The pane has to be closed for it to reset the alert volume.

  • Wireless and batter problems with Compaq Presario CQ45-315TX Notebook PC

    Was using my Compaq a year or so when it suddenly stopped detecting the battery. Short time after it stopped detecting the wireless module (listed as error 702 during startup).
    I've already made sure all of my drivers are up-to-date, automaticaly and manually. I read in other forums that a BIOS update would fix both of these problems. I downloaded the reccomended update to go from BIOS Version F.66 to F.66A. I'm not sure if it actually worked as the update was to the same versio and ID as the existing BIOS.
    Is there another update for BIOS F.66 as the ones I've tried don't seem tio change its version after they run, or is there another solution to this problem?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the Conexant HD Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45166.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the Conexant device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the Conexant installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • Ringtone volume keeps setting itself lower!!!??????

    I have the iphone 3g and my ringtone volume won't stay up. After a while, if i return to the settings menu, i notice that the ringtone volume has mysteriously gone down. When i woke up this morning, the volume was all the way down. I discovered that it occurs after i make a call. i just set the volume to max, made a call, and after the call the volume was down (and i never touched the volume controls on the side). Please please please help

    My 1st gen iphone is up to the same antics. Pre 2.0 all was perfect. Then then update... During calls, if you adjust the volume for either the iphone earpiece, speaker phone, or bluetooth headset (I'm using the Plantronics voyager 520, which was purchased at the apple store), the ringer volume gets adjusted as well.
    Just go into the sounds option under settings, make a call, and watch in awe as you adjust your call volume and ringer volume at the same time.
    I've missed calls b/c the volume resets it self to a lower (random) setting. Now I must check after every call. The best part is if you push up on your volume button while at the home screen (the ringer volume pop up appears) and note that you have it on the highest setting, go ahead and check the sound option under settings. It will be at some random lower level. Oh my phone never did this on 1.4. I do hope the engineers are reading this and release a fix ASAP. The main purpose of the iPhone is to be a phone. Missing calls due to a low ringer volume is crazy.

  • Bios on compaq presario cq57 keeps recovering every time I boot

    Relatively new laptop. It is a Compaq Presario CQ57 running windows 7 64 bit. Up untill recently everything was fine but about a week ago it started failing to boot and then after turning it on and off, going into the bios recovery. It goes through this (sometimes more than once) before finally giving a message saying bios recovered, error 500 (and to look here for assistance). The issue seems intermittant. Sometimes it boots fine, other times it takes several attempts with the automated recovery. I think the automatic update for the bios has run once or twice, but I didn't notice any updates immediately prior to this issue starting.
    Does anyone have any answers. Thank you.

    No ideas anyone? Took me about an hour to get the thing to boot today. Several attempts at turning on and off during which it wouldn't even POST, and then once it did post, the bios recovery system ran through several times before I finally got back into windows.
    The exact computer model incidentally is a CQ57-364EA.
    I'm trying to figure out if this is a software issue or whether there is a hardware failure somewhere. I'm figuring it's software, because when the computer does finally boot, it works normally.

  • Why does my 4s volume keeps going up by itself?

    Hi. Thanks for your advice in advance!  For the past 4 weeks, the volume of my 4s keeps going up on its own and then the volume screen doesn't disappear.  It's really hard to manage texting/talking with this annoying issue.  Has anyone had this same issue?  Would apprecite some feedback.  Thanks!

    I had the same issue but on my iPhone 4S the volume keeps going down on its own and then goes on mute which really frustrates me. I can't believe you have the same problem.
    @pogster Well,I already tried resetting all the settings and nothing changed.
    I'm sure there is something wrong with the Hardware,software is not related to this issue.
    I think something is repeatedly pressing the volume button and its going down or up.
    A way to avoid this is to stop pressing the volume buttons from now on,thats what I did. Increase the volume from the screen not from the volume buttons and visit the closest Apple Store to help you with this.

  • Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

    I recently took a chance and bought 2 "parts only" Compaq Presario 2500 series laptops off Ebay and was able to make a single working PC with the motherboard from the 2586US being the motherboard I used.  I did not have a hard disk, so I bought a Samsung 160gb ATA drive.  Turns out I didn't need the little adapter on the bus end because it just plugged right into the socket on the motherboard.  The drive is supposed to be either ATA133 or ATA100 at the top end (I don't remember which).  I put the drive in and installed Windows.  I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disk at full size.  Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors.  Through a lot of searching on the web I found out the BIOS and apparently the IDE interface itself (?) doesn't allow a disk larger than 137gb.  I checked the BIOS and indeed it says maximum usable size 137gb.  It also shows the transfer rate at DMA2 which, if I understand things correctly means it is only transferring at 33mb instead of 100mb or 133mb.  The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a DMA5 transfer rate.
    I don't claim to understand all of this at all.  So, I'm looking for help.
    (1) Is there anyway to go beyond 137gb on a hard drive in this laptop?
    (2) If not, is the fact that my drive is actually 160gb when the PC only supports 137gb causing more problems?
    (3) What do I have to do to get a transfer rate beyond DMA2?  The BIOS setup won't let me tab to that field to change it.
    Thank you for any help and explanations that I can understand.  Keep in mind I'm just your average Joe and not some sort of expert at all.  I found a lot of this on the web but not sure what it all means.
    Thanks in advance!

    This question was solved.

    It originally had a 256mb and a 512mb SODIMM, but they were unmatched.  I just went ahead and bought 2  Samsung 512mb matched SODIMM's, so I have 1 gig of memory.
    I installed Windows XP Professional SP2, then the Compaq drivers, then SP3, then all the Windows updates, then I installed ubuntu Linux 10.04 - 1 small partition for swap, 1 larger partition for everything else.
    I did re-do my disk:  I shrank the Windows partition again, deleted the Linux partitions so I had 1 huge empty space, then created a 30gig partition at the end of the drive, then installed Linux.  Windows still seems to work fine, and Linux at least boots now.  So I guess the first thing I'm going to do is waste 30gb of space for being dumb when I bought the drive.  The DMA2 thing has me bothered - the Service Manual lists the 2500 series as all ATA100.  Is it possible that as one web site said, the BIOS is detecting too large of drive and therefore thinks an error and slows the drive down?  I would have thought since the Service Manual  (page 1-23, Mass Storage ) says it supports ATA100 (ultraDMA5?) that it would either say DMA5 in the transfer field or at least let me change it.
    This is getting quite a bit above my knowledge base as far as why it's running the transfer at DMA2.  On the Internal Hard Disk BIOS set up page it says "Auto" for the type.  When I change that to "User Defined", I can tab to the transfer field, but the selections are all PIO or up to DMA2 - nothing above that.  That seems like some kind of BIOS error or else the Service Manual is in error.
    Thanks for your help so far!   Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • My computer keeps restarting itself for the last two hours and i don't know what to do. Please help me

    I need help, my MacBook Pro keeps restarting itself for the last two hours saying there's a problem. I can't get past the grey screen without it restarting and i don't know what to do...please help me

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
