Help Factory Resetting Pavilion dv6 1351nr

I'm trying to restore my Pavilion dv6 1351nr to factory settings. Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disks, and apparently don't have the recovery partition. I've tried going to disk management, and neither f11 or F while starting the computer are working; I just get a series of loud beeps.
I am semi-computer literate, however, nothing I've found in any of the forums so far is helping. I've downloaded all of the drivers from the hp website, but to no apparent avail.
Please help! I probably haven't provided enough info, so if you need any of that, just ask!

Help Factory Resetting!!

Hello, Recently i have tried to factory reset my Compaq Pressario PC SR5710Y. Every time it gets to 48% a message appears saying "error 1005. If the error persist contact HP Support" and im wondering what can i do about this problem.

Hello jack867!: since you can't get your machine's recovery past 48%
hopefully you either have Master Recovery media ordered from HP
2. Made Recovery Media from Recovery Manager included in the computer
try again by detaching all your hardware that's attached except your rodent & keyboard & follow what you see on your screen
because it's likely that the partition is damaged
in c.40 minutes you should have a normal desktop
immediately run scandisk to see if there's no latent HD issues lurking
3. if you own a full fledged retail copy of Windows in addition to doing the aformentioned
go to the Web page pertaining to the model model & download all the drivers that are part of your computer following what ever you see on the web bage
good luck
hope this helps

Please help factory reset ipad remotely

I did a stupid thing — sold my 3rd gen ipad and forgot to factory reset before mailing. It's in transit now, probably arriving to new owner tomorrow.
I need to remotely erase it without locking out the new owner. I can access it via icloud/find my iphone and it has a passcode lock. I don't remember if Find my iphone is loadeded on it or if I set it to delete content after # of incorrect passcode attempts. I suppose that would be the easiest way to fix this situation.
Via icloud, I've set it to erase all content as soon as it is connected to the internet. Then I'm thinking, he can email me that it's been erased, then I remove it from my icloud account and that will allow new owner to start from scratch.
Please let me know if this will work...or what will.
thank you!

Help Factory Resetting OS X 10.6.8

I don't have the (OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) disk, but was wondering if I can download OS X Mountain Lion through the app store, and then Resetting from that software. I guess my question is, is this possible?

Consider this, then:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
      the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
      list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
      button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
     drive size.
3. Use Lion DiskMaker 2.0 to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
Once you have a bootable flash drive installer, boot from it then you can erase your internal hard drive and install Mountain Lion on a freshly formatted disk.

Hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built-in speaker not working

Need help on hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built in speakers not working but can hear sound using the headphone. Is there a service manual on how to replace or check the speakers?

Hi there @JINGDOMS
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
In answer to your question about the service manual, there sure is, and I am happy to help you with this.
You can find it on the support page for your model, or just use this link: HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide.
Within the service guide you will find the replacement instructions for the individual assemblies, and also the part numbers. I would start with just checking the connection to make sure it is good, and if there is still no sound from the speakers, you can also try this page as well, before replacing the part.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If you determine that is a faulty speaker and you want to get replacement parts, take a took at this page:

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

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/sp52501-53000/sp52658.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, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then 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.

How do i factory reset my HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC?

well i am having a problem here on factory reseting my notebbok pc i just want to get rid of everything and start fresh again but when i do it ask me for a recovery disc which didnt come when i bought my computer any suggestions?
Thanks you

Most consumer computers haven't come with OS Discs or Recovery Discs since about 2004. If you didn't create your personal HP Recovery Media, please contact official HP customer support, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to check on the availability of HP Recovery Media for your computer. If in the USA, you can also order the HP Recovery Disc set "658862-001 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit" from third party vendor ComputerSurgeons.com
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 SP1 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer.Please see the HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page for Windows 7 drivers.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Pavilion dv6 wont start after factory recovery.

Hello,
I made factory reset using HP recovery manager ( try both: clean copy or factory default copy with software), and the process finish ok. But after restart windows cant start and stuck on windows logo, if I try safe mode, it stops at message: "You cannot finish the instalation in safe mode restart the PC and finish the installation" . It seems that the "first time use" installation process is corrupted. The HDD and memory tests finish without error. Also tried the Hard reset (Unplug the AC remove the battery and hold power on for 30 sec.) but did not help.
Thanks for help.

my notebook recovery (pavilion dv6-6080se) removed

Hi,
To get the Recovery Partition back, you would need to perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery DVDs/media - remember to back-up any of your personal files first.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

Please Help.. HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook has totally stopped working

Hi
If anyone can help me I would be grateful. My computer just stopped working today and left me with a blank screen, when I try to turn on I just get the HP logo. I have run a hard disk and memory test and they both came back OK.
I have my life on here and when I took it to the Geek Squad they said it was probably the hard drive and wanted tons of money to TRY and fix it.
I have a blank black/blue page, I have removed the battery and tried a hard start, I replaced the battery, I do have a flashing caps lock light and my mouse pad is illuminated.
I don't know what to do next and have my life on this computer including many family photos that cannot be replaced.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received
Thanks

Hp pavilion dv6, I have to keep resetting my playback tone contols after sart up

When I start my hp pavilion dv6, i have to reset my playback tone contols and the "apply" option is greyed out. How can I keep my tone setting as the default setting for my speakers?

You guys probably resolved this by now but just in case you haven't I have been having the problem for about a week now. I bought a customized dv6t Entertainment notebook in July but recently didn't want the Beats audio manager on at startup so i went to msconfig and disable IDT audio from the startup menu. That's when everytime I turned on my computer the tone controls went crazy, with the bass all the way down and the treble all the way up. So after some testing I found out how to fix me. Even though it has been 8 months since you asked about this, here is my SOLUTION.
1. Using the Sound Manager set your tone controls to the desired levels or just click reset to zero.
2. Click the start button and type msconfig in the search bar. Hit enter.
3. The System Configuration box will appear. Click on the third tab that says Services.
4. Click the bar that says Service to arrange the programs alphabetically.
5. You should see Audio Service with the manufacturer being IDT, Inc. if not then scroll down til you see it.
6. Uncheck Audio Service. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the page then the OK button.
7. You will be prompted to restart your computer and then do so.
8. That's it! Once your computer restarts the tone control levels should be where you left them.
If you are having problems with this, it may be because you don't have IDT PC Audio disabled at startup which can also be done in msconfig one tab over from Services. This launches the Beats Audio Manager at startup but just disabling the Audio Service may do this in one fell swoop. Hope this helps, even after all these months!

It began just fine but when I checked back there had been an error. I tried to restart and try again but all I got was a screen say I g BOOTMGR Missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart. I have a Windows 8.1 disk that I have been trying to open so I can install it but nothing is working.

Keyboard (hardware & onscreen) suddenly don't work anymore - only factory reset helps

I have my Passport for about a month now and just experienced the following problem for the second time: all of sudden the keyboard (both hardware and onscreen) don't work anymore. I cannot enter my device password anymore, I can focus the password dialog, but then simply nothing happens when I press keys.
After a restart of the Passport it asks me for my SIM card PIN. Again, I can focus the text field in the dialog, and I can touch numbers of the onscreen keyboard, and the number keys light up, but no input gets to the dialog.
There is simply no way to activate the device anymore. I can do a backup using BlackBerry Link, and I can access the device with BlackBerry Blend - but the device itself is useless. No kind of restart or reset helps. The only solution is to do a factory reset, after that the device works fine again - for some time.
Once this happened while I was on the road, without doing anything with the device. The second time it happened when I was trying to deploy a self written app using the Momentics IDE.
Additional information:
- development mode is on (needed since I want to develop Apps for BB10)
- Snap is installed
- a handful of Android apps from Google Play store are installed
- two BlackBerry World apps are installed (whatsapp and HUB++LED)
Did anyone experienced similar issues or has an idea what might cause this problem?
Thanks!

Have you tried using a usb keyboard/mouse?
I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.
