G56 notebook

I have 2 G56 notebooks, 1 works perfectly fine the other willonly run if conected to mains and has the BSOD, i have run thriugh all the tests on-board and can find no fault there, they have both had windows 7 removed and XP installed can anyone offer any advice, thanks, Bruce

I would try to run the problem machine with the battery out and see if that helps. I would switch batteries and see if the problem goes with the battery. I would try only one piece of memory in the bad machine at a time and try both slots.

Is hdmi in hp g56 notebook pc windows 7 home premium

i am trying to connect hp g56 notebook pc home premium to tv but it is no working is hdmi in this pc

Your computer only has a VGA port. Even trying using a VGA to HDMI cable may not work either as in some cases you probably would need a converter to convert the analog signal to digital.
Have you tried VGA to VGA on the TV if it supports it?

Connected hp g56 notebook to toshiba regza tv but no sound..please help! : )

Hi, I'm trying to connect my g56 notebook to my tosiba regza tv.
I have managed to get the picture fine using a vga cable but with no sound. After a bit of research and asking questions i was told to get a jack to rca (red and white) cable , connect the jack to my headphone port on the laptop and the rca to the corresponding ports on the tv. Did this and there's still no sound coming out of the tv!
Do i need to download a special driver or something to make the sound come out of the tv or is it better to go buy an hdmi cable?
Any advice would really be appreciated!!
This question was solved.

Hi,
A VGA output is only capable of carrying a video signal - I would strongly suggest what you mention yourself and get an HDMI cable to connect to your TV. There's no need to buy a top end cable, just a stanadard HDMI cable is fine - I've never found any difference in the output quality.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54123.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT 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, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT 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.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

G56 Notebook cooling fan

Hello,
My daughter has a G56 - 106EA Notebook.
The cpu cooling fan ran for some time very noisily and then stopped working.
I bought and fitted a new fan and turned the laptop on and the fan starts and then falters to a stop.
I have checked both fans and they do run when connected to a battery.
SpeedFan software shows the fan has zero rpm.
I re-installed BIOS F.18 as it was suggested this could solve the problem, but it didn't.
Is this a motherboard problem?

Hello again stylova,
To find out how a cooling fan works, I recommend following this document on How Does a Laptop Cooling Fan Work? This should help illustrate it's function and basic maintenance.
Since the Battery Test produced a "not installed" result, I recommend contacting our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Replaced hdd with new WD hdd , larger size than original, ran recovery disks, all appeared to be going successfully..but would not boot up in Windows. Ran all kinds of diagonostic tests....eventually got dialog saying....&quot;Recovery manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP support.&quot; Error Code: 0xe0e0ef000e. Tried all options repeatedly. Does this error code tell anything? Thanks for assistance. AJL

Hi,
This sounds like a problem with the Recovery Discs - so you could try ordering a replacement set from HP Here.
However, there is an easy work around to avoid this if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Any additional drivers you may need can be found Here.

Touch Pad intermittent, HP G56 Notebook PC, Windows 7

Hi,
once in a while the touch pad locks/freezes. More often than not this is whilst using the notebook from battery power, rather than mains power. If I close the screen, and reopen, it's all OK.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rick

Hi Rick,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50718.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

I do not have a recovery cd my system is not rebooting, How can I reboot my laptop

Hi:
If you can read the full 25 character Windows 7 product key on the bottom of your notebook then you can make your own windows 7 installation disk.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Machine will not recover. Hard disk not exist error. Bought new bigger HDD and same problem on doing recovery procedure.
Coulo this be a BIOS battery issue? Please help. Thank you. AJL

Several things can cause the bios to fail recognize the hard dirive.
0. Try loading bios defaults, save changes on exit of bios, see iff the error persists.
1. Bad hard drive (try another hard drive)
2. Bad hard drive data cable (replace cable)
3. Failed hard drive controller on the motherboard (replace motherboard)

Premiere Elements 8 crashes when I try to use it.

This has been an issue for several months now, which I have been unable to find a resolution to. Things to keep in mind are that I am not very computer-savvy, so the fix could be quite simple and I am just missing it.
The problem:
Back in August, I asked my boyfriend to clean off some space on my computer because it was starting to act up sometimes. I know that he deleted some programs that I was not using, but as far as I know, none of them had to do with Premiere Elements 8. But as soon as that happened, I couldn't use it any more.
What happens:
I can open up a new file just fine. I think I can even open an already existing file (it has been a few months since I've tried that). It is when I try to import a video file into the program that it shuts down. My computer remains functioning; other tabs and programs will not be affected, my laptop does not shut down or glitch. It is just Adobe.
What I've tried:
I uninstalled the program twice and re-installed it. That didn't work either time.
I checked to make sure that I still have Quicktime installed. I do, and it is updated.
I made sure I have room on my computer. There isn't a lot, and it is not a fast computer, but then again, it never has been.
I've done all system updates, defragmented my computer, etc. All of the maintenance I can think of.
I searched my problem on this forum and google, but haven't had success finding a case similar enough to mine (possibly due to my inadequate search skills).
What I'm looking for now:
I suspect that there is a program that has been deleted that was important for Premiere Elements 8. However, I cannot figure out what program that might be.
Miscellaneous:
Adobe Reader has also been acting up on my computer. I've reinstalled it several times, but it persists in either working at a snail's pace (15 minutes to open a 500 KB document, which I think is not very big. Again, my computer know-how is lacking), or else not working at all and shutting itself down.
About my computer (I apologize in advance for omitted or extraneous information):
I have an HP laptop, 2 years old. (Model: HP G56 Notebook PC)
It runs on Windows 7, and has an Intel Celeron core.
It has a 64-bit operating system.
My hard drive has 216 GB of space total. 73 GB are free.
I have 3 GB of RAM.
Thank you in advance for any help. I'd really like to get this program working again.

I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
Good luck,
Hunt

Blue screen appears after sudden shut down

Product name: HP G56 Notebook PC
Error message something like "Boot" "Hard Drive" "Insert CD"

Bootable device refers to the BIOS finding no device with a bootable operating system available.
You have a pretty recent notebook.
Try pressing the power button and then tapping the Esc key. That should get you into the Start menu. There should be an option to access BIOS or Diagnostics or the Recovery Manager.
F10 will invoke the BIOS and F2 should invoke the UEFI system diagnostic unless the hard disk has failed. The better choice would be F2. UEFI diagnostics are quite helpful in determining whay a notebook won't start up and boot into the operating system. There are also diagnostics available in the BIOS.
Did this happen when the notebook was in a low battery power state or when it was going into hibernation?
Have you ever updated the BIOS or run the HP system tuneup from within the Hp Support Assistant?

I can't get my saved info off of the dvd's. help me please

hi i had to have my HP G56 notebook pc restored 2 days ago. i saved all my pictures & documents to DVD'S, like cyberlink said to do. how do i
get my pictures & info back from the DVD'S ?? i tried the restore my
files, & it put a second one on the desktop. i am so lost & need help.
three weeks ago i was hacked in my email, then hit hard in my microsoft
security essentials; whatever it was damaged my drivers. they have all
been fixed thru HP. microsoft did their part. so far, so good as i'm
double protected, i think. operating system: windows 7 home premium.
can anyone there help me to restore my pictures & info on the DVD'S ??
thank you, bambeyette

Thank you, Allen. My iMac is a 2009. I can't shine a light into the disc drive slot as it has a built in whisker cover that prevents anything from getting in. It will accept a disc half way in before the disc reaches a springy obstruction.
About 3 weeks ago, the computer locked up so I inserted the OS disc and reinstalled it. In general, the computer works just like it used to but we've had a few quirks appear; for example, this is one of them. Also, we can't figure out how to keep from having to sign-in when we turn the computer on. Also, we can't access our one on-line account anymore. Very strange.
