Headset connection to HP Pavilion laptop

I have recently purchased an HP Pavilion laptop. Product name: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC, Product number: E3A54PA#ABG.  I am trying to connect my headset which has two 3.5mm plugs - pink for microphone and green for earphones.
Problem is the laptop only has one 3.5mm socket. I've looked at other headsets for sale and they all have 2 plugs.
How do I connect a headset?

Same here! This is so strange... Help please.

  • Headset connection to HP PAVILION 15-E003

    Hi! 
    I have an HP PAVILION 15-E003 and this computer just have one headset connection. In the description says that this connection can run Áudio and Microphone at the same time but i can't... I just can connect headset sound and not the microphone. How can i use both in just one connection?
    Thanks.

    HP have used a combined Mic-in & Headphone-out socket on their Laptops and Netbooks for many years now.

  • Trouble connecting a HP Pavilion laptop to a Bush TV

    Hello, I purchasded a HP Pavillion 15-n031sa last week and I am having problems connecting it to my Bush 42" wide screen LED TV (model no BLED42FHDAE not sure if thats relevant?).  My friends laptop connects to my TV fine thats also on windows 8 and my new laptop connects to a different TV in the house so I cannot see what the problem is?  I have tried to press the app & p buttons at the same time and click extend but that doesn't do anything.  Any suggestions would be apreciated as I have used up my limited technical knowledge, thanks.   

    Hi ocarole2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having a difficulty connecting your Bush TV to your notebook, but it connects fine to your friends notebook.
    Here is a link to Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8) that should assist you with this endeavor.  Your notebook has a HDMI port and I believe your Bush TV does also.
    Have you tried a different cable ?
    Please let me know it you require additional assistance. Would you also provide the  connection type you are using.

  • HP Pavilion laptop only connect to the internet when security is turned off

    My HP Pavilion laptop running windows vista sp2 connects to the internet only when wireless security is turned off on my airport extreme (brand new purchased last week). Once I set-up wireless security my laptop shows local network access only and I lose my internet connection. Also, when I try to get back into the setup utility I get the following error message “an error occurred while trying to access the apple wireless device” and I cannot make any changes to my airport extreme set-up. I have tried many restarts and resets, but have only been able to connect properly with my laptop when wireless security is off. Additionally, during my setup attempts, my iphone has always had internet access. Greatly appreciate if anyone can offer ideas on how to fix this.

    Have you tried resetting the modem and restarting your computer?

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop (dv6108nr) with Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recov

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad. Or does the disk have a mechanical failure, in which case, is a recovery disk even helpful at all?
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc) that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer. (But see below, "UPDATE")
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Jon
    ===============================
    UPDATE:
    I found a website that offers the following:
    www.computersurgeons.com/p-13442-recovery-k​it-435422-001-for-hp-model-number-dv6108nr.aspx
    Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then my computer goes to a blank blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.
    Any help here would also be appreciated!
    Jon

    Hi @goshenguy
    Thank you for your inquiry, I am happy to help.
    I grasp you tested the hard drive from the bios and it failed.  This tests the physical aspcects of the hard drive and when it fails it does require replacement.  You were able to retrieve some of your files using recovery software but not all.
    Your recovery partition is still intact and when you try to do a recovery with the disks from Best Buy you do not get past these options R / F / Q  but will not proceed.
    Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows XP, 2006 or Later) that may assist you in performing a recovery.
    Here is a link to the Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook PC. Please note chapter 3 page 42 for a replacement hard drive part number. 
    HP Parts, HP Replacement Parts
    If you are still unable to do the recovery, you could try contacting Best Buy for assistance with the recovery kit they provide.
    I don't know if it is possible, but you may want to check cloning software to see if you could clone the D partion to the new drive or connect both drives and  try a drive to drive copy of the D partition.
    If you were able to successfully put the D partition on a new hard drive you should be able to do a recovery from the  D partition  to take it back to factory.
    If none of the above has allowed you to successfully do a recovery, I suggest contacting Best Buy to see it they have  options other then purchasing  a  third party recovery kit. 
    Good Luck!

  • HP Pavilion Laptop; Only Special Function Keys are Working

    I got my first HP laptop, a HP Pavilion 17-e049wm Notebook, refurbished a few months ago when my original quit out. Until recently, I've been more than happy with its performance. However, a few weeks ago the keyboard started acting both weird and also not working. I'll try to provide as much information as I can, and thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Circumstances before the event:
    -The night before, my keyboard worked one hundred percent fine. I played some games and went to sleep with it closed and hibernating like I always have. The next morning, I took it up with me to play music as I showered. Before I'm accused of water-damaging it, my laptop was very far from shower, so no direct water contact occured, and also we shower with the door open, so there was no build up of steam or humidity that could've done it that couldn't be present in any other situation. I knew that it worked that morning, as I must have logged in to play my music. After closing it and bringing it to my car (without drops or any other jarring), I learned a few hours later that my keyboard had stopped working. 
    -My house doesn't have internet and I havn't recently installed anything, so it's doubtful that some kind of software did it to me.
    What the keyboard does(n't do): 
    -Almost every key doesn't work. The letters, esc, enter, shifts, fn, numberpad, caps lock, etc. I've tried them each, and none work.
    -There are two exclusions to the above statement:
         -The 'special' function keys; All of the keys that share space with my function keys work fine. So my mute, pause, change display, brightness controls, help shortcut, airplane mode, etc. work. So everything from F1 to F12 work.
              -Before anyone assumes that my fn key is stuck or something, the special part is the default. On my keyboard, you hold down the fn key to do the normal fn key functions (f11 skips to the next song, fn+f11 does fullsrceen).
              -Also, I'm not sure if my 'normal' functions work. I tried holding fn on this USB keyboard and then the f# keys, but the 'special' function still is the one that works. However, as I have no control, I don't know if that would have happened anyways.
         -The second exception, which makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem, is that if I hold 'X' and 'C' at the same time, the brightness lowers, as if I tapped my f2 key. Each of those do nothing on their own, but when pushed together, they act identical to the f2.
    -Another thing is that my ported keyboard's caps lock indicator light still shines when either the USB or on-screen's caps lock keys are used.
    What I've tried:
    -Turn it off and back on
    -Turn it off, take out battery, hold the power button, wait, turn on with/without battery
    -Uninstall keyboard driver, restart
    -Summoning a demon 
    -Tried to update driver (can't, up-to-date)
    -Check status through device manager (claims that it's running fine)
    I've basically tried everything I could find that seemed relatively useful from browsing the forums, but it's on my third week keyboardless, nothing works, and I'm so tired of using my girlfriends pretty, sparkling and bedazzled, purple USB keyboard from her days in middle school. If nothing works, I'll have to resort to the system resets and lose applications and my files, which would be a mad bummer yo.
    Thank you again for your help, internet. 

    @cbowman08 ,
    Hello and thank you so much for posting on the HP support forums. Now please I am not stating you have done anything wrong in any way.  This kind of thing happens all the time. 
    You do not need a bunch of steam to cause an issue with water for one thing.  
    Inside your notebook is a huge differential in temperature zones.  If you take a notebook into a shower room even if your water is slightly above room temp there is ample moisture in the air. 
    Air has to travel and if your notebook was on the counter and it is between your shower and the door, any moisture in the air gets to get heated way up and then gets to cool way down and gather on the little metal bits in your notebook.  
    It only takes one drop of water the size of a pin head to bridge a connection and cause a short.
    I hope this is not the case.  I am hoping that the connection cable for your keyboard has come loose.
    So to see if this is just a loose connection instead of a bit of moisture causing the issue here is a link to your maintenance guide,
    Maintenance and Service Guide
    This will show you have to get your system apart to check they keyboard connection.
    As well here is a link to how to gain access to the keyboard and its connection.
    HP Pavilion 17 Replace Keyboard HDD SSD Ram New Model Laptop.
    Check to make sure the keyboard cable didnt just come loose.  Very easy fix.  If it is connected and nothing is loose then you are looking at a replacement keyboard or if the board did get some moisture on it from condensation then you will need to have it sent in for repair.
    If that is the case you will want to contact phone support for repair options.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
    I am hoping for the keyboard connection coming loose here.

  • Crossing HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Usefulness of Bluetooth.

    Is there a conflict in crossing over files from HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Is Bluetooth necessary (or useful) on a Toshiba? I have Bluetooth on my Hp Pavilion.

    A crossover network cable is one that is designed to connect two computers to each other through the LAN port without using a router.  It sounds like you don't have any sort of home network to work from or have any experience in networking.  Instead of wasting a lot of time posting methods that you might not be able to use why don't you start by telling us what networking methods you have available, if any. 
    Also, do you have an external USB hard drive?  That might be easier to use for this. 
    Lastly, how much data are we talking about?  That would have a large bearing on how we should go about this.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Linking HP Pavilion laptop and HP data projector

    The HP Pavilion laptop plays a DVD complete with sound. However. when the laptop is linked to a HP data projector via HDMI, the screen size is reduced, and sound does not work when playing the DVD.
    Another HP Pavilion laptop does not have the same problem.
    Presumably I need to change some setting. Advice needed!

    Hi @richardennals ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I hope you have a great experience with us.
    I see that you are having a problem connecting your Pavilion to a projector. The reason it works for one and not the other could be the Chrome OS vs the Windows OS. Let me start by getting your product number so I know what we are working with, as a there are a few models in that series.

    i tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
    You can read bout it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?
