F9 boot devise options

any ideas?

Hello rncarradini
I seen your post and was wondering if your issue has been resolved? If not could you review the questions below and I will do my best to assist you.
1. In your first post you indicate that if you hit "Enter" it will continue with the start up? Does it load your Windows operating system?
2. What you are describing is the UEFI menu and I would suggest updating the UEFI environment via the Driver and Download page. If you are unsure of how to do this please re-post with your product number. Your product number can be found by following the HP Support document: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?. Or, you can try following the instructions provided under the sub-heading "Install updated UEFI tools and BIOS" in the HP Support document: Install updated UEFI tools and BIOS.
I hope this helps resolve your start issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Battery quitting early on HP G62-110 series notebook?

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wit's end with this problem I've been having, so I hope someone here can point me in the right direction.
The gist of my story is that the battery on my notebook seems to be quitting while it's still over 40 percent charged.
During the past week or so, my HP G62-100 series notebook has started shutting off while I'm using it. It won't turn on when I press the power button unless the computer is plugged back into the AC adapter.
When it does start up again, Windows 7 gives me a message about not being shut down properly.
It seems like the computer is running out of battery charge, but if I check the charge level immediately after startup, it measures about 45 percent.
I used the HP Battery Check utility, which says my battery is in proper working order.
My battery is a MU-06 model. Please let me know if you need any other information or have any questions. A million thanks in advance!

This might provide some helpful information and troubleshooting ideas.

How Do I Downgrade From Windows Vista To XP On A 3000 N100 Series Notebook?

Hello. Here is the problem. I have Windows Vista Pre-loaded on my 3000 N100 Notebook, absolutely dislike this operating system and want to erase and load Windows XP. From reading other forum messages I have learned several things.
1) The install disk On Windows XP Home & Professional will not recognize Sata Hard Drives, when it reaches the point of loading where it looks for the hard drive it "BOMBS OUT" with error messages.
Several options are open .............
1) Log into the BIOS, locate the SATA option, and change to compatibility mode.
2) Have a USB external floppy connected with a Sata Driver on it and when installing Windows XP press the "F6" button when Windows asks for any external drivers you want to load.
Here is the problem with the 3000 N100 Notebook series..........
1)There is "NO SATA OPTION" in the BIOS of the 3000 N100 series notebooks to choose. In this model Lenovo stripped the BIOS down to the bare essentials.......and I Do Mean.... "BARE". The latest BIOS upgrade also has no Sata option. Why they did not offer at least this choice of downgrading to XP is beyond me. LENOVO..... I'm not impressed with your notebook. As usual.... Microsoft has all vendors jumping to their tune..... Nothing but "VISTA" at this point in time. What if you hate it??????
2) I have hunted all over the Lenovo Web Site for a "SATA DRIVER" that would work with a 3000 N100 Notebook, no such critter exists. LENOVO..... Couldn't you have at least offered this???? I'M NOT IMPRESSED.
Has anyone been able to downgrade to Windows XP successfully on a 3000 N100 Series Notebook??? How Did You Do It?? Has Anyone Located A "SATA DRIVER" That Works??? IF So, Please Explain To Me Step-By-Step How I Can Get Rid of Vista and Load XP.
Help........Help.......Help........Help......Help!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards

Hello Himleung. Thank you for answering this message. Where did you find a "Sata Hard Drive Driver" that works?? Perhaps you could pass that along to this message forum in case someone else that has a 3000 N100 (may also work with the N200 series) Notebook wants to downgrade from Vista to Windows XP.
This is what baffles me to no end. The Lenovo web site has every driver you need to load Windows XP on the notebook.....**EXCEPT**..... the Sata HD Driver......**OR**...... the ability in BIOS to change to "compatability mode". Duh!!!..... whats wrong with this story. I have never seen such a weak BIOS as the one in the 3000 N100. If I had known this I probably would have gone to another brand. They should have advertised this notebook as...... "Non-Geek Compatible".
Not knowing exactly how you could forward the driver to me I did the following....... I created a new Web email location that you could use to send the driver as an email attachment. The address is....... [email protected] This address will exist just long enough to obtain the driver..... and then......"Hasta-La-Vista" baby......end of story......as I do not want to be bombarded with ads, trash, or perhaps a virus of some sort..... although.....I'm SURE we have GREAT PEOPLE on this message center.
I'm not familiar with the "NLITE" program you mentioned. Again....perhaps you could mention where I can get it and what I need to do to set the program up to run the driver.
Thanks again, Himleung.

Frequent Hardware failure in HP-G Series Notebook

Hi All
Facing Frequent Hardware failure in HP-G Series Notebook.
I took help from HP tech support as well but they could not solve the problem & I need to send the Notebook to the repair center.
I just want to know is there a problem in whole G Series PC model or something else.

I am also having hardware problems with my HP-G series notebook. I have two of them and they both have the same problem. Longing sound on startup and some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working. Any suggestions?

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

I have the above unit (I love it!!) with BIOS version 14CN51WW BIOS running UBUNTU9.04 (did not like the SUSE linux supplied. I hate the loud bleep when you remove the power adapter and also have had a few problems with LINUX hanging with the suspend mode - so I thought I might try to update the BIOS to the latest Version: 14CN67WW
However, how do you do this other than in Windows?
I tried to install Windows XP and 2000 onto a spare SATA disk that I installed into the IdeaPad - but halfway through the installation I get a stop error message saying computer is not ACPI compliant
The only other way I have is a Windows XP routine that loads XP into memory and allows a virtual disk - where I could install the BIOS files - but will this work if I flash from here - don't want to screw up the system board
Older IBM's had an executable file that ran from a DOS session and flashed the BIOS
Anyone got any advice on how to approach this - before I actually do it

Load Cycle Count over 7500 in just 5 days on new DV4 series notebook

Hi,
I'm really concerned about my new laptop i bought just a week ago (dv4-4172); it happens that the disk is making a lot of noise just like the infamous 'clicking sound of death' and reporting up to now, more than 7500 load cycles in just 5 days of operation and also, 2 errors in the CRC of the UDMA. Since my hard disk (Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 640.1 GB) was behaving like that i ran several test on the disk (HP's BIOS run-tests, HDD Tune, smartctl (short and the long one), etc.) but i'm not getting a single read-write error, that is, the system hasn't any functional/operational problem, yet. Furthermore, my disk's lifespan is 600000 load cycles and i'm getting about 1500 in just a day, you don't even need a calculator to realize the harddisk won't last more than 1.5 years. The constant clicking of the disk is also getting on my nerves too .
The question here is, is it normal for this hard disk to have an average count of 1500 load/unload in a day (i.e. 1 cycle every minute) or is my disk the only one with suicidal attitudes?. My last notebook's harddisk (Seagate) didn't get more than 100k cycles in 2 years of operation, that's why i'm concerned...
Naturally, hdparm solves the issue, but (partially or permanently) disabling my harddisk's APM is even more suicidal than my disk's actual attitude, and by the way, you need some technical skillset to change those values (I'm a linux sysadmin, so i knew how to solve that specific issue), why is the default configuration set as this? or is HP expecting every single user to know how to modify the APM or, if you don't, to have a seat while watching your hard disk self destruction take place.
Thanks in advance.
- melvin
FYI, the problem is agnostic of which operating system i use, even in the POST stage the harddisk starts with that annoying clicking (and its corresponding cycle count increased), and yeah, i've updated all my drivers and followed every suggestion hp support assistant gave to me, like the nice guy i am.
This question was solved.

Hello uncle_sam,
You’re having a problem with the hard drive.
The drive is not supposed to be making any noise.
Since the unit is still new I’d call HP and have them send you a new HDD.
Here is a link to the phone number.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Compaq Presario F500 Series Notebook Warranty Service Enhancement Experience :-(

A while back the Persario F500 notebook I had stopped working. There was no video on the computer LCD panel or external monitor. The notebook turned on, the power LEDs lit up, but nothing was seen on the display. It was out of the one year warranty and I thought it was pretty much dead. Another person opened it up to see if they could do something with it but they could not. At the beginning of last month I discovered just by chance that HP had extended the warranty on these notebooks and that my symptoms matched what is presented at the following link.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01480071
I never heard of this before so I called HP support and the tech told me the machine was still under warranty and the symptoms seemed to match the program. A FedEx box was sent to me for it for a warranty repair. An email was sent and a tracking number was given for the box. It arrived in two days. I packed up the notebook and sent it in to HP. A tracking number was given to me for this leg of the journey too. It arrived at HP in two days. The support link that was given was updated to show the notebook had arrived and was being looked at by a tech. So far I was quite pleased with how things were going.
After about two days the link was updeated and asked me to contact HP and a charge of $429 was issued. I called and customer service told me the service techs found that the notebook had ben opened up and some internal damage had occurred due to this. Before the warranty work could be done the other problems needed to be fixed. I declined the repair and told them to ship it back. On hind sight I should have started my argument with HP at that point.
The reason the notebook was opened up in the first place was due to the fact that there was a problem and as far as I knew it was out of warranty. If I knew of the warranty enhancement program before none of the damage would have occurred because the notebook would never had been opened up.
The shipment back to me was a bit mysterious. No email or tracking number was ever given to me for the return trip. I called customer service three times and got three different stories on this.
The first time I called customer service told me the notebook was on its way back to me and they gace me two tracking numbers to go by. After I tried these numbers it turns out that one was for the box that was originally sent to me and the other was the number that was used to ship the notebook from me to HP.
I called again yesterday. This time customer service could not find any current record of the notebook. The rep thought that the notebook was probably still at HP where the warranty work was being done without fixing that damage that was done when it was opened up. He told me to call back Tuesday for an update.
At this point I was suspicious. I decided to call again today. This time the rep told me the warranty work was done and it was going to be shipped back to me. They told me an email would be sent to me with a tracking number for the return trip.
Later on today the notebook was actually dropped of at my home by Fedex. No warranty work was done.
At this point I am confused and very disappointed. It seems none of the customer reps I spoke to really knew what was going on with my notebook 100%. The fact it was sent back to me without an email or a tracking number is very disturbing.
The more I think about this the more disappointed I am with HP in handling this whole matter. HP knows this notebook has issues and yet would not repair mine since it was opened up and damaged during that process. The only reason it was opened up in the first place was because to the hardware issue it had and the fact that as far as I knew it was out of warranty.
I really hope that someone up the "food chain" at HP reads this and take the story to heart. Management at HP needs to do a better job in cases like this.
This question was solved.

I do understand the situation where you knew that you were OOW (out of warrenty) so you decided to take the notebook apart. It is a valid argument. The warrenty was not extended just to clarify. It was a service enhancement. If your notebook displayed issues(no boot,video,no wireless in device manager) HP would fix the issues for free for the first 2 years of purchase. one year would be within your factory warrenty, the second year would be outside that warrenty. but only for the issues officially mentioned under the service enhancement note.
I do have a very important question. when you took the notebook apart did you make any major hardware changes? or did you just take it apart, then put if back together

My notebook laptop start beeping after hp screen when i turn on my laptop.....

1. product name and number--- hp pavilion dv7-1260us notebook entertainment pc
2.operating system installed--- windows 7 64-bit
3.error message--- when i turn on my laptop it starts beep sound continuously after hp screen and touch pad also not working properly cursor continuously goes down automatically....
4. i jus installed windows updates.....

Hiya,
Is the beep sound happen while loading Windows? Is it coming from the speakers?
Have you tried your cursor in the Recovery Manager to see if it's a software issue? When the BIOS HP logo is on the screen press F11 to load recovery manager. If mouse works normally then you have a software issue, if issue still percists it is most likely hardware based.

(sorry, translated from german):
windows did not start correctly... due to software or hardware change.. pls choose last functional configuration if mistake was due to power shut down...
But this does not work, also all other options (start windows as normal, start in safe mode...did not work.
No idea what happenend !
Problem:
Actually moved to another country and forgot or lost recovery CD ! already contacted Toshiba for new one but maybe anyway somebody can help?

Hmm. Stupid situation. If possible try to obtain Microsoft WXP installations CD to see if you can start installations procedure properly and if you can use repair option too.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but I just hope there is no problem with HDD. Try to use original recovery disc.
