Ethernet Port randomly stopped working - u310 ultrabook

Hi,
So my Ethernet Port on the u310 Ideapad has randomly stopped working - by that I mean that when I plug in my LAN wire, the lights will show only when I switch on my laptop, till the Windows logo comes on, which is when the lights of the port go off and the port refuses to work.
I need LAN pretty urgently, so I was wondering if someone could please help me out! Thanks!

Hi Ipsh,
thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Based from your post there is apossibility that it it could be hardware. But however before we confirm let just trya few setting and software adjustment first. At this point I was just wondering if you have tried doing a software update, I would suggest you to uninstall the current drivers you have now and reinstall the drivers below.

Please be informed that the driver above is meant for windows 7, if you have another operating system installed do let me know.
Regards

USB Ports Randomly Stop Working

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook with Windows 7. All of the ports, 2 2.0 and 2 3.0 ports, began to randomly stop working. My mouse light would still light up, but the mouse wouldn't work. If I rebooted the entire laptop, all of the ports would come back on for a short period of time before they randomly shut off again. They will also come back on for a short period of time if I close the lid for a few seconds and reopen it. However, lately, the 3.0 ports have stopped working entirely and the 2.0 ports stopping is becoming more frequent.
The first time I noticed this was when I was testing a micro usb cable (it has stopped charging and I was testing whether it was the cable or the wall adapter). I plugged the cable into one of the 2.0 ports and it gave me a USB surge warning. Other than that, I haven't received any notices. The drivers are up to date. I have uninstalld the root hubs multiple times. I have tried all kinds of Power plans for the laptop. Nothing works. The USB ports still stop working, and it's becoming increasingly more frustrating.

Hello Abby_Renee,
With the USB 3.0 port not working, and your 2.0 port working intermittently, I would suggest the following document Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 7) for troubleshooting.
In this document there is a specific option for USB 3.0 ports stop working, which would be the best steps to follow for your 3.0 ports. Now for the 2.0 ports, I would suggest USB device not detected by Windows (no device name in device manager), or the other option is USB devices are detected by Windows but are not working properly. The last two options are dependant on the specific errors you are experiencing.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps.
Good Luck!

The ethernet ports suddenly stopped working on airport extreme wondering why and how to fix the problem

I use the ethernet cable to connect my airport extreme to a linksys router to extend the network but suddenly all the ethernet cables on airport extreme stopped working and now the linksys won't get a connection. I was wondering why this might of happened and if there is a solution to fix the problem. Also i wondering if i should get rid of the linksys and get and airport express to just extend the network.

The Extreme to Express without the Linksys router is the most compatible way to go but I would first check out the Extreme by itself and make sure everything is working properly

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

E2000 Port Forwarding Stops Working

I am using port forwarding for running a webserver. All is working fine. After a random number of hours or days, the port forwarding stops working. I can get in and look at the settings and they are correct. I can then change something on the port forwarding screen and resave it and it starts working again. Do I have a bad unit ?

Webserver might not be set to static IP. Try setting the webserver to static IP first, then make sure that static IP is enabled in the Port Forwarding screen of the router's web-based setup page. Also, protocol should be set to BOTH (TCP-UDP). You can also try having less firewall/AV restrictions on the web server (or none at all) and set MTU to 1400.

Satellite L770 - ethernet adapter has stopped working

HI
I have three laptops all connectable to my home hub, but I seem to be having serious problems with the latest model, the L770-13D. The signal strength has never been as good as the older models and just recently the Ethernet adapter has stopped working. I've updated drivers on both adapters but it hasn't made any difference. I've just recently upgraded my connection and I'm wondering whether the Ethernet adapter is not correctly configured since it was working alright prior to the upgrade.
I've also tried just about every test that I can do - The Toshiba config doctor returned a FAIL on the hardware check I did, but the device manager reports that both network adapters are working OK. Also, the troubleshooting of the wireless adapter reports that there 'may be a problem' The evidence seems to be pointing towards a hardware problem with this laptop.
Any thoughts?

HI Dr Lamp,
No I haven't tried that probably because I wouldn't know how to do it. I have a full recovery image on the data drive but I'm not comfortable with making any changes to the OS in case I mess things up. I've also got a recovery flash drive. Really, I'm out of my depth when it comes to making these sort of changes - I just thought that there may be something very simple that I'd overlooked. The machine is still under warranty, so I'll probably take it to a local computer specialist for diagnosis before involving Toshiba. If it's more than a software problem, they should earn their fees by repairing it. If you involve them and it isn't a hardware problem, they will bill you for about 80 plus carriage, so I'm naturally reluctant to do that. Also, you have to hang about waiting for delivery and collection. It may better to buy a USB/LAN adapter for about 20. Thanks for reply, anyhow.

My Apple TV is a useless brick now. Ethernet port no longer works.

Not sure, but it seems after an update, my ethernet port does not work. I can plug it into the PS3 and works fine. I HAVE TO use WiFi now or my Apple TV is a useless piece of plastic that looks "oh so Apple Cool." Yea, whatever Apple. I have been using this same port for almost 2 years with no issue.
thoughts?

It may well be a hardware failure but a few things to try:
Unplug from main for 5-10 mins and restart it.
Reset settings in the Settings menus.
Last resort - try to factory restore to current software using a microUSB cable to hook it up to a computer running iTunes.
Assume you don't have Apple care (even if you did I think it's only 2 years on AppleTVs anyway).

My ethernet port is not working

I recently had my macbook sent into the store to repair a bad logic board (fried in a thunderstorm) and over the past month I have noticed that my ethernet port wasn't working. Before the storms our router was acting up so I figured our maintenance was working. When I noticed the bandwidth slowing I checked my ethernet connection only to find I have been using wireless this whole time.
Now I'm not sure if the apple store technicians (it was actually shipped off site to be repaired) checked the ethernet port when I last sent it in because from my knowledge it was working before the storm and I had never checked it afterwards.. I really don't want to be charged another $200 to fix a problem that could have been fixed during the same time as my previous work order.
I also had a bad experience with their timely service, my macbook was there for about a week and a half with no progress on anything when it was supposed to be shipped off site and when it finally was shipped off site it took a matter of two days to be fixed. That would have been two weeks less than my month turn over for this repair.
Any help or suggestions on what I should do and how I should approach the apple store? I really do not want a repeat and cannot afford to turn my macbook taken from me as it is being used for my current job.
P.S. I have singled the ethernet port to my computer as I had used my dad's macbook on the same ethernet cord and his worked, mine did not.

I have updated my computer this morning, it didn't change anything regarding the ethernet port. I also logged onto my windows through bootcamp and ran ipconfig. When I look into the ethernet option it says "media disconnected" could this mean the port is simply loose? or would there be a different sentence there if it was actually damaged. When I went under profiler though it did not say no ethernet ports are found but just listed off the usual numbers.
I'm tempted to reset my SMC but I want to make sure it will have no side effects on my computer, I really hope I can talk to the apple store because I'm really sick of their service to me.
I'm going to ramble for a bit but I feel like I got taken advantage of because I cannot be pushy or rude to others even in inconvenience. It was ~$100 for the repair service which isn't terrible and ~$130 for a new logic board togehter I ended up paying just under $300 for the complete repair which on it's own is not horrible either. However my computer was stuck in their system for a little over a month, it took 1 week to get the diagnosis which from there it should have been shipped off site to be repaired (and if followed how much time it took later on I would have been two days until I had my computer back) however every time I checked the status and called in the genius' replied it has been shipped off site so the status will not update until a repair has been finished. after a week of bombarding people at the apple store with phone calls asking how my computer is doing I finally got a call saying "it has been a week since we have heard from you about your computer, would you like for it to be repaired?". This was unbelievable all of my phone calls did not go through (was around 20 or so multiple ones in a day) and I wasted a week just to find my computer was basically lost in their store. Finally it was shipped off and repaired and sent back to me. When I brought this up to the manager in store she simply stated that there was no confirmation to repair the computer until I answered that phone call over a week later, which is absolutely ridiculous.
I received no other help from that point and ended up paying the full bill (which wasn't my purpose but still..) and I refuse to be treated like that again when it was supposed to be a somewhat simple procedure.
end rant.
Anyway, I really hope this works because I do not feel like repeating this event nor paying another ~100 service fee for something that could have been repaired during the same time.

External Speakers Randomly Stop Working until I "Test" or Disable/Enable

I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6 Notebook PC Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.
External speakers randomly stop working until I "test" or disable/enable them. Headphone/HDMI Audio Works.
Background
-Recently had to do a clean install of windows.
-Went to the HP Drivers Website and downloaded all of the latest drivers.
-I installed several other programs as well (Flash, Steam, Media Player, Browser)
-The problem started
Current Settings
-My deafult device is "Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC"
-Enhancements are disabled
-Bass and Treble are set to 4
-Format is set to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
-Allowing applications to take exclusive control of the device or not doesn't make a difference (but it's currently off)
Troubleshooting
-The audio works by plugging in headphones or using an HDMI device
-The audio comes back if I go to my sound settings and hit "Test", or if I disable and re-enable the device
Error Messages
-Youtube starts the video for 3 seconds, restarts and sputters a bit, and then says that there was an error
-My media player (MusicBee) gives me this message: "Unable to start playback (Error = BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST)"
That's everything I can think of. Any ideas?

Integrated microphone randomly stops working

Hi I have a problem with my integrated mic. It just randomly stops working.
It was working fine until a few weeks ago. Then one day suddenly it didnt work. and itl randomly start working again.
One way that it got fixed one time was when i plugged in an external mic i borrowed from a friend and unplugged. after that my integrated mic started working again. the next day it stopped working again.
I have tried everything possible to try and fix it.
- Went to sound disabled/enabled it.
- uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers.
- installed other drivers such as realtek
- used the windows microphone troubleshoot.
- tried configuring the microphone.
- even tried system restore, but i only had like 2 restore points since my laptop is relatively new
Nothing has worked. Can someone please come up with an actual solution to my problem?
My laptop is a dv6-6c50us with windows 7 64bit home premium.
And the sound that my laptop uses is IDT high definition codec.
I strongly appreciate any help i can get with this problem.

I was using my HDMI port to connect to my TV .port just stopped working

I was using my HDMI port to connect to my TV .port just stopped working
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600

Hey @kirilsubacs ,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
I understand the HDMI port has stopped working on your Pavilion G6 notebook.
It would help to know exactly which notebook you are using and the installed operating system. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
If this is a new issue I would start by doing a system restore. This will undo any changes to the operating system and uninstall any Windows updates, programs, or program updates installed after the restore date. This will not delete your personal files.
If that doesn't work try updating the drivers for your graphics card (GPU). You can find the drivers for your notebook here: HP - Drivers & Downloads.
Let me know if that helps or please provide the model and operating system of the notebook.
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!

Port forwarding stops working several hours after reset

I have a WRT350N (fw v. 1.03.2). It's connected to an Alcatel ADSL modem (PPPoE configuration). I've configured port forwarding to allow HTTP and SSH into a linux box on my home network (static IP). I am able to get to the linux box from outside for the first few hours after I set up the configuration, but a few hours later I am no longer able to get to it from outside - port forwarding stops working though the settings remain as I'd left them. Over the course of various attempts I've had the external connections just die (404 errors, host not found, etc) and sometimes the connection went to the router - getting the WRT350N login prompt (remote management is turned on, but on port 8080, not 80, so this was unexpected).
The only way I've found to resolve this is to reset to factory defaults and reconfigure. Then it works again for a few hours and shortly is again not forwarding. I've tried other ports (VNC, RDC, telnet, SMTP) and the forwarding stops working on all ports at the same time. My home machines are able to get out to the internet with no problems.
I thought the router had a hardware flaw so i replaced it with an identical model yesterday, and sure enough, today I'm again stuck without external access to my home website.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Nick

I was able to trace the problem to torrent downloads. It seems the router wasn't handling all the concurrent connections when handling torrents. I haven't had problems since i stopped downloading torrent files. I did add a static port mapping and configured utorrent to run on a single port on a machine with a static address but haven't had cause to download any torrent files since then, so i don't know if that will fix the problem.
That being said, i've had no issues since i stopped the torrents.

Port forward stopped working after update

i updated my software and the port forward stopped working and it will no longer allow access to my ip camera.

Hey Cab,
Yea, mine stopped working since the update to 10.8.2. It was working fine prior to the update cause I used it at work on a 50 inch Samsung. I undrstand that there was a driver update but I'm not sure why.

ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 7.0: CLONE STAMP RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING A WEEK AGO.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS HERE: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2211084
It would mean A LOT TO ME IF anyone HELPED ME. I HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AS THAT LINK, EXCEPT MINE IS ONLY THE CLONE STAMP.
I use a Windows Vista and use Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 on it.
I have the same exact problem now, the clone stamp randomly stopped working, a week ago. I tried resetting, doing everything else you can think
of and its just not working. Now I also tried doing that trick on that link that helped that person, but since I have a windows vista I am so lost and
don't know how to get to those settings or where to go. Anyone know anything about how to help fix mine, please reply to me. It would mean so much
to me. What also makes me sad is that I misplaced my cd-rom to uninstall and re-install, thats why I want to get through this naturally and try to fix it without re-installing it and stuff. Please help me.

I read the other post. I wasn't sure from your post if you were able to reset the preference files or not. (I wasn't sure if you ever got the reset dialog.)
Reset application preference files: When you click the Editor launch icon, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys. Do not release these three keys. A dialog box will come up saying something like "Delete Photoshop Elements settings file?" After this dialog comes up, you can release those three keys. Click OK to accept.
See if that works.
If the above, did not work...
Did you just install a program right before this started happening? If so, that program might be "stealing" the alt key. See this article:

Sound randomly stops working in Windows 8

I have a new HP PC and the sound randomly stops working. When the sound stops, it stops in all applications: iTunes, Web Browser, etc.
PC DETAILS:
HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop
Windows 8 Pro
In Device Manager, under Sound, this is what I have:
- AVerMedia H334 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM
- Bluetooth Audio Device
- IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
I just set up this new pc this week and I have run all the windows and drivers updates so everything is up to date.
When I boot up the pc, the sound works fine for a while and then randomly stops working. For example, if I play music in iTunes 11, the latest version, it may play for 1 minute or it may play for 10 minutes and then it just randomly stops playing sound and the sound will not come back until I reboot and the same thing happens all over again.
I have searched this online and I found quite a few people posting similar sound issues with Windows 8, but I have not found a fix for this problem yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
