Dark margins all around the laptop screen

HI,
I am pretty confused about the black margins of about 1 inch all around the corners of my hp laptop screen whether it is hardware default or graphics issue.The margin is clearly visible extreme dark even when the laptop is turned off or even during the startup as well. I tried to fix the graphics through different options like updating the graphics driver, scaling to the full screen (No option in the driver), reinstalling the windows and lot more but nothing helped.
My OS is windows8 64 bit with intel graphics hardware.More information will be provided if required.Plz help me coz i am really faded up.Thank You

Hi there @praweshpathak
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are seeing a black border around the display. I am happy to assist.
Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
For now you can try going into the Intel Graphics and Media control panel.
Select under the Advanced Mode drop down - General Settings
On the Right side- you should see a drop down for scaling, be sure to select Scale Full Screen
Then click the apply button.
Let me know if that helps at all.

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments

In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
Thanks for the help, King

Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

Dear All,
I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
how to do this on both operating systems?
Thanks & Regards,
Boudy,

The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Recently got a MacBook Pro. When I use it for work purposes, I plug in a large screen and key board. When in this mode I would like to shut off the laptop screen or even close the lid. Is that possible?

RECENTLY GOT A mACKbOOK PRO. WHEN USING IT FOR WORK PURPOSES I PLUG IN A LARGE SCREEN AND KEYBOARD, THAT WORKS FINE. HOWEVER WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE LID ON THE LAPTOP, OR AT LEAST SHUT DOWN THE LAPTOP SCREEN WHILE USING THE LARGE SCREEN. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Hi Jim,
Craig is right on with his post. Hope he won't mind if I add the following link, as recently it has been noted by some posts here that there are some "quirks" with Clamshell Mode:

There is a tiny gap all around the side of my ipod between front aluminium panel and stainless back. Is it normal?

I just bought an Ipod classic and noticed that there is a tiny gap all around the side of ipod between front aluminium panel and stainless back.
Is it normal?
I am just concerned because when I was given the box at the Futureshop, the box had a big dent on the side.
(as if the box was dropped from 2-3 feet high atleast)
I was wondering the dent would've done something to make that gap on my ipod.
I am thinking to return it if it is defective
Any advice?
Thank you

Return it, there should be no gap, for creeepy crawlies to go in and make nest and poop on your iPod circuit.

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

With ios 7.03 I cannot expand youtube videos to screen size but get white blanks all around the stream

since the update to ios 7.0.3 I cannot expand Youtube videos to screen size - instead, the features around the video dissappear and are replaced by white fields. With my ipad mini I do not have that problem.
Does anybody know advice?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

How do I get my apps all on the one screen.

I want all my apps icons to appear on the one screen, without scrolling to the right, I have put the into sub-categories.

Tap and hold down on an app icon until it "wiggles". Then hold down on the icon to drag it around the screen. If you drag one icon onto another, you create a folder. If you want to move the app to the screen to the left, hold down on the wiggling icon and drag it to the left side of the screen and hold it about halfway over to the next screen - just hold it for a couple of seconds - and it will jump to the screen to the left.

How can i centre the slide in keynote so that i can see all around the sides

Hi,
I'm animating some elements to move across a slide but when the slide displays it is always top left of the window, so if I move something off the top or to the left I can't then get at it to select it. Is there anyway to centre the slide in the display so I can see all around it?
Cheers in advance.
Greg.

The slide is always top left when zoomed down.
Apples method when using builds to animate objects on to the screen, is to place the object at
the final / completed position, then add the effect type, direction and duration.
