HP dv9700 SOUND ICON DOES NOT LIGHT

my hp pavilion dv9700 sound icon does not work anymore and I cannot control the volume either;
another thing is that the mute icon flashed red every so often...
any suggetions/advice?

Hi,
Try this.  Shut down the notebook, remove the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Next, hold down the Power Button for a good 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and restart the notebook to see if this has helped the issue.
Best wishes,
DP-K

  • Sound Icon does not change when pressing the Mute Key

    Hey guys,
    I have a really annoying problem that only seems to start a few hours after booting my MacBook, it does not happen on a fresh reboot. When I press the mute button on the keyboard it does not mute the sound and the icon in the top bar does not show that the sound has been muted.
    If I go to the control panel for the audio and do the same thing with the panel open it works just fine and the icon shows that the audio has been muted. Do any of you have this issue and how can I report this bug to Apple so they can adress it in their next OS upgrade.
    Best Regards

    I am having the exact same problem. It is even worse because it has happened to me in class before.
    The other day, after coming to class I opened up my MBP from sleep intending to work on some things for class. As a general practice I hit the mute key as soon as I open the Mac. This always worked well with my Powerbook. However the system did not mute and the connection noises from iChat played out. This upset the teacher who glared at me for the rest of the class.
    This is not an isolated incident either. I have had the tool bar and the translucent icon disagree a number of times.
    I have found that if I hit the mute key twice it will generally correct the problem. But it is annoying. I hope someone at Apple is listening (in more than one way it would seem)

    Please I need to know what do I have to do.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

    Dear all,
    I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.
    Heleen

    >How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
    LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
    Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
    After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

  • The time machine Icon does not does not show up in my menu bar

    The time machine icon does not appear in my menu bar. The desk top icon for the external hard drive is green. I've checked preferances and the time machine is turned on and the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu. I've turned off the time machine and rebooted and then turned it on and rebooted again. Nothing seems to work. I'm running Mavericks and I have an Intel I5 processor.

    the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu
    Uncheck it and check it again. Any change? If not, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Every time I unmute my iPad, the sound efx does not come back. I can hear my keypad and the on/off sounds but no app sounds.

    Hello PearldiamondMD,
    I was thinking of a few recommendations for you. I recommend our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1. Start at section 1, if that doesnt fix it, then section 3, and if all else does not work, section 5. At section 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps.
    Here is section 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store.  It was on my iPad yesterday.  Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen.  When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice.  There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down.  When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button.  How can I remove it?  Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

    You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

    Hi,
    You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
    Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
    one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
    Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
    VS General Question forum mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
    WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
    System and Visual Studio Editor.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • Error copying application.xml icons: .../bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to export the release build I get error from COmpiler during the process that "Error copying application.xml icons: Resource '/Project_Name/bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist."  I have specified 4 icons in the -app.xml file of sizes 16,32,48,128 which exist in the path specified and files are not corrupt. I have checked and unchecked the compiler directive "Copy non-embedded resources in the Output file" but that has not helped too.
    Can somebody please advise what do I do in this situation?

    Frank,
    Thank you for your answer. I had not checked (will do so tonight).
    I had considered it adequate to wipe out the entire system directory (thereby wiping out the integrated weblogic server), but perhaps it was not adequate? I did not specify that this is on the integrated server, but that is the case....

  • When i connect my ipod nano to my computer it does not light up and i get a message saying the usb devive has malfunctioned

    I need some help here as I believe my ipod nano has crashed or something is terribly wrong. When I plug in the usb to my laptop I get a message saying the usb device has malfunctioned. My ipod does not light up. I have tried powering it on manually and nothing works. Help, this is going to ruin my workouts!!!

    I'm not sure what the glitch was, but after I posted the problem, I called Apple and got a rep to walk me through some troubleshooting tips such as holding down the nano power button while plugging in the usb cable....nothing worked. Eventually, they scheduled a maintenance /replacement service.
    I got the box yesterday and was about to put it in for shipping to Apple, when I decided to try connecting it to my laptop one last time. Viola! it started back up again and is currenting syncing as I type. Guess it was just a bad glitch of some sort. Anyone with a similar issue, perhaps you may want to wait a few days and see if it solves the issue.I hope this helps.
