Hi there @jeromemcbean,
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.
I understand that you are trying to recover data from your notebook's hard drive, but the notebook is not starting properly. I am happy to help you with this. Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Once I have the product number I can find any available service information, which could be useful to you. Although for now, give this a try and let me know if you can get the notebook to start up properly.
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Other than the white screen, are there any error messages, or flashing LED patterns? Do you see any test on the screen at all, prior to the screen going white?
Assuming that the hard drive is readable and not damaged, you can always try removing it and installing it into a compatible external drive case and hook that up to another machine to back up the critical files.

Tutorial: Virtual Numpad on laptops that don't have one built-in

Hi all! After getting so much good help from the people on Arch forums, I thought it was time to give back.
You remember how on older laptops, you would hit numLock and a portion of your keyboard would become a numpad? (specifically, the 789uiojklm keys) Well, recently I got a new Lenovo Y40 and I never knew how much I loved having a numpad until I found that my new laptop didn't have one. Unfortunately, the Y40 does not come with this feature out of the box, but luckily, Arch Linux is on our side. I am going to tell you how I set up my own virtual numpad using tools that come built-in with X.
Before we start, I should point out that everything I learned in order to do this was found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_ … _Modifiers
From the warnings section:
It is possible (and, in fact, easy) to end up disabling some keys on your keyboard for the current X session while working with XKB. This includes modifiers, cursor arrows and Enter key, as well as C-A-Backspace and C-A-Fx combinations. Make sure you have some way to terminate the session without using your keyboard.
While it is rare, changing XKB configuration can sometimes hang or crash X server. Make sure you can handle it. Having some way to killall X or reboot the host remotely may be a good idea.
Stop xxkb, or any other layout switching applications. xxkb actively changes XKB state. Debugging both at the same time is not a good idea.
And finally, be warned: it is very easy to get used to custom layout.
If you want to learn more, that wiki article is the best available xkbcomp documentation for people who aren't X developers (lit. me). And with that, let's get started!
Getting Set Up + xkb Background Info
The first thing we will do is run the command
xkbcomp $DISPLAY outfile.xkb
This will spit out the code that represents the current keyboard layout. Our end goal will be to code in what we need into this file, and upload it back to the X server. I recommend editing this file in an editor with C/C++-style syntax highlighting, since it might prevent you from making syntactical errors.
There are many sections to the .xkb file, but we will only concern ourselves with xkb_types, xkb_compatibility, and xkb_symbols.
xkb_types lets you define types for each of the keys on your keyboard. For example, if you use Canadian Multilingual Standard (like I do) most of your keys are given the type "EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC". When a "special key" like ctrl, alt, caps lock, etc is pressed, in xkb_types, we map these modifiers to "LevelN", and different combinations will mean different things for different types. For 8-level-semialphabetic, no special keys pressed is "Level1", Shift is "Level2", etc.
If we jump forward to xkb_symbols, and look at the keys, we see that each key is assigned a type, and an array. The first element in the array is what symbol the key represents for Level1, the second is the symbol for Level2, etc.
Finally, xkb_compatibility allows us to set which keys turn on which modifiers (as well as other things).
So with that, let's get started
Editing the layout
We will begin by editing the xkb_types section. First, we will pick an unused type from xkb_types (you could create your own, but it will be more work). It doesn't matter which type you picked, so long as none of your keys use it. Take down the name. Now delete the unused type, and in its place, copy paste the type that your keys used already. Finally, change the name of the copy to the type you deleted. For example, I deleted EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC, copied and pasted EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC, and changed the name on the copy back to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC. Next, change the modifiers variable to accept NumLock. This is done by concatenating '+NumLock' before the semicolon. Lastly, we will bind it to a level. You can create a level, or simply pick one that you were not using, and add the line (where N is the desired Level)
map[NumLock]= LevelN;
Next, we will turn our attention to xkb_compatibility. Simply copy paste this code into the xkb_compatibility section, taking care to replace Scroll_Lock with the key you wish to use to toggle the numpad:
interpret Scroll_Lock {
virtualModifier= NumLock;
action= LockMods(modifiers=NumLock);
Now comes the more tedious part of editing the layout. For every key that is part of your virtual numpad, change the type to the copy we made earlier. (In my example, I would change EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC). Finally, locate the Nth element in the array (indexing from 1) where N is the level you bound the NumLock modifier to in xkb_types. Replace this with the desired nunmpad key. For your convenience, here is a list of the numpad keys I used:
KP_0
KP_1
KP_2
KP_9
KP_Add
KP_Subtract
KP_Divide
KP_Multiply
KP_Decimal
For example, here is the entry for my 'u' key (note the KP_4):
key <AD07> {
type= "EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC",
symbols[Group1]= [ u, U, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, downarrow, uparrow, NoSymbol, KP_4 ]
If you are wondering what to do if you want to bind numpad keys to your Fx keys, I added a note at the end of the post.
Uploading the layout to the X Server
And now the moment of truth. First, run
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb
This will NOT upload to the X Server yet; it will only compile the file and check its syntax. One cryptic error I got was because I used C-style /*block quotes*/. xkbcomp doesn't like these, but it doesn't mind //this kind of comment. If we have no errors, we can now upload with
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb $DISPLAY
Well, go ahead and try it out, there will almost surely be some really neat tweaks you can do.
Extra Stuff/Notes
When you hit Scroll_Lock (or whichever key it was you chose) it locks the new type we made to LevelN. This is why we went to the trouble of making a new type, so that the rest of the keyboard would not be locked in LevelN mode. For example, on my setup, I first tried this without creating a new type, and found that the rest of my keyboard was not behaving normally, since it was also bound to Level8 (my desired numpad level). So, I created a new type for my numpad keys so that the rest of the keyboard would still act in its usual manner even when I had the numpad on.
If you're wondering, I bound KP_Multiply and KP_Divide to my F8 and F9 keys. However, I didn't need to change the type, since the level I chose (Level4) also caused the Fx keys to act normally (except if I rebound them). That is, before I changed anything, all the Fx had the corresponding Fx key bound to Level4. I simply changed the Level4 keybinds for F8 and F9. This meant that when I activated the virtual numpad, F8 and F9 were KP_multiply and KP_Divide, and the rest of the function keys were what they were usually.
Hopefully, this tutorial won't only help you to make a virtual numpad, but maybe help some other newbies like me to further customize their system. And the Arch Wiki author is right, you really do get used to the new layout and it becomes frustrating to use other computers!
Happy trails.
- Marco

OK since your security is set to WPA why do you want to go to WEP? DS? If everything is configured correctly you should not have to change anything. If you are connecting another device and forgot what your WPA setting were just go into the router and take a look see.
1. I set up everything, its all fine and ok
2. The DS can't connect to WPA, only WEP or Open
3. I know what my WPA settings are and the codes to both settings

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

How do I save my laptop that was rained on?

About three days ago, I left my windows open and rain fell through it onto my laptop. The laptop was on and connected to a wall charger but after the rain, it went off. I tried turning it on after sucking the water out bit it does not come. Also when I connect the charger, the charger light blinks instead. What do I do?

It is going to be very hard to come back from that. I am sure just about every component is fried so that there is very little to salvage. If you are very lucky data on the hard drive can still be recovered but I doubt it. Start shopping for a new laptop.

How to get name of class that the JVM was started with ?

Assume I have class foo with the standard main method.
I also have classes ding and dong, they extend foo.
The JVM is started with either ding or dong as the 'main' class. Since neither ding nor dong directly implement main, the actual main method being executed is foo's.
In the main method of foo I want to construct an instance of either ding or dong, depending on which the JVM was started with. Since I'm in a static context, I can't do anything with 'this'. Is there another way to get the name of the 'main' class from the JVM so that I can construct an instance of it ?

The idea behind all of this is that the developer of
Ding and Dong should not have to know anything about
foo, in particular it's constructors. But if Ding and Dong are subclasses of Foo, then developers must know about Foo. If you expect developers to extend a framework without having a well-defined interface to that framework, you are probably heading for trouble.
To be able to
privatize the constructors, construction of the
concrete class has to take place in foo.If Ding and Dong are subclasses of Foo, then you can not make all of Foo's constructors private.
Of course I could have a method in Ding and Dong that
calls a static method in foo into which the Ding and
Dong instance pass their class, but then I'd have
identical implementations of this method in Ding and
Dong. Yes you would (well, not identical, but very similar). Like I said, you could do this programmatically with AOP, or you could probably do it dirtily using stack traces (though with it being a single hit at startup, you might not consider it being quite so dirty).
But: the point of inheritance is that common
functionality goes into superclasses. I disagree. The important thing about inheritance is that classes share an interface, and that methods can be polymorphically inherited, allowing new functionality to be 'plugged in' in the future, and even at runtime.
Also, in
general one wouldn't make methods static if a class
reference is needed (or one would make it an
argument), but Sun didn't consult me when they
designed the main method :-(I still don't see why you need to do what you want to do. It appears that all you are after is the ability to start your program using a command line like
    java com.mypackage.Ding
instead of
    java com.mypackage.Foo com.mypackage.Ding
or
    java com.mypackage.Foo Ding.properties
or something else along these lines.
Since you must know the name of the class you want to use at the time you want to use it, why can't you just pass the name as an argument, or start up using some properties file, or a shell script?

How to save passwords on sites that don't automatically give you the option to

I enjoy the convenience of saving passwords on my home computers as I usually have quite a few different ones and it can get rather difficult to remember which one goes with which site. I usually don't have a problem as most sites are recognized by firefox and prompt me if I would like to save them. I did find a javascript function that allowed most other sites that firefox didn't automatically recognize to prompt to remember the passwords, however there is still one site using a thing called Single Sign On that I just can't get to remember my password for. This is rather annoying since it is a site I need to log onto multiple times a day and times you out with inactivity. If anyone knows how to get a Single Sign On site to prompt for remembering a password, that would be greatly appreciated.

For some ways around this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered User name and password not remembered - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
Another option is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60265/ Saved Password Editor] add-oin which allows you to add passwords for sites that disable password saving.

How to copy photos from iPad that don't appear when plugged in to PC or in web based Photo Stream?

Hi all,
Got a real doozy of a problem. Had a load of photographs on an iPhone 5 which synchronised via Photo Stream onto our iPad. iPhone 5 has just stopped working due to water damage and we've lost access to the photos. However, the photos we have lost all come up under Photo Stream on the iPad. We need to copy these photos off so I plugged the iPad into our laptop and navigated to the images through Explorer but they weren't there. So I the added the iCloud control panel to our laptop and browsed to Photos folder and clicked on Photo Stream and there are about 350 photos in there but about 600 on the iPad. I really need to get these photos back an just can't find a way of getting them back. Would really appreciate some help please.
Thanks
Adam

The photo stream server only keeps photos up to 30 days. Once on a device's photo stream album, they stay there until you delete them on the device or turn off photo stream. In your case, when you turned on photo stream on the PC, you only got what was available from the server, the older ones have been deleted.
Now, about the ipad. In it's photo stream, you can view each photo, the icons at the bottom of the view screen includes a box with arrow coming out of it (on my iphone, the icon is at the bottom left). When you tap that icon, you then get a choice to save to Camera Roll. What you need to do is save all the photos you no longer have on the PC from the ipad's photo stream to Camera Roll. This could take time.
Once these are in camera roll, sync the photos from the ipad to your computer.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

How do you close iPhone apps that don't seem to have a close button?

How do I ensure that an application is fully closed out?
IM+ is an example but I would like to know in general. IM plus somehow runs in the background but sometimes I want to disable it completely I"m not sure how. Same goes for facebook or safari even. My concern is that I thnk the phone slows down when too many things have been opened. Is there a way to fully force all applications closed short of rebooting?
Thanks.

3rd party apps do not run in the background on the iPhone. Apps like IM+ that 'seem' to run in the background do not - your chat account is kept active by the server (not the phone) and/or push notifications via Apple's push notification server are used to alert you that there is server-side activity for the app.
So, you would just need to exit the app, and if you want to turn off notifications, use Settings > Notifications.
Also, note that you can force-quit an app - press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the power-off slider, then release the sleep/wake button and immediately press and hold the home button for ~6 seconds, until you're returned to the home screen.
