Hp pavilion a730n monitor issue

I have an HP Pavilion A730N that is no longer displaying anything to the HP 1703 monitor hooked to it. I removed the monitor and cable and hooked it up to my company work laptop and it displayed images fine. I'm thinking that the VGA portion of my motherboard is bad. From what I can find, I have an ASUS ptgd1 la motherboard. If the monitor and cable are fine, where can I find a new motherboard. I can find used ones on various websites but I don't want a used one. And I don't want to buy a new one from overseas. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I'm running Windows XP and no matter how many times I boot the computer, no signal is received by the monitor.

That motherboard does have the ability to have a graphics card to replace the onboard graphics. That would be the first thing to try before getting a new motherboard. BTW: most motherboards come from overseas even if they are from American companies. Anyways, Something like THIS could very easy test to see if the motherboard is bad or not. Could even borrow a card from a friend to test.

HP Pavilion tx2510us Monitor Issues and possible motherboard problems

Hey folks
I'm having some major issues with my notebook and I need it to be working ASAP, since I use it for a lot of school work.
I've owned it for a few months, after my brother wiped it and installed windows 7 trial version, and it's had a few chronic issues plague it:
- Sometimes when USB devices are plugged in it freezes
- Graphics driver occasionally fails
- Monitor will sometime become full of random characters and crash (rare)
- Minor heating issues
These problems make me suspect the motherboard is faulty. Most recently, I turned it on this morning, worked fine, no overt problems... and now, the monitor refuses to turn on.
-All the blue lights come on
-The fan quietly whirrs away with no variation in pace
-the light next to capslock and above the end key blink regularly, at the same time
-The computer is utterly unresponsive in this state save for the sliding power toggle.
I've tried to plug in another montor, I've attempted a hard reboot (taking out the battery, putting it back in after 5 minutes, running it without the battery...) and I'm not sure what I should do at this point.

After a little research, I've narrowed the issue down somewhat.
When I turn the unit on, the fan whirs, the LEDs light up, and then the Caps Lock and Num Lock blink in this squence:
ON for 1 second
OFF for 3 seconds
REPEATS
After reading this (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3747931&docname=c01732674) I believe this is blink code 1 - can anybody verify this and give me some info on what I can do to replace the CPU? The last time I called HP tech support it was a very unpleasent experience and I want to avoid it if possible.

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,
If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

HP Pavilion 22xi monitor

This monitor is less than 2 years old and has just started having this problem: It will be working fine and the power light is light blue. Then I notice the power light starts to flash yellow and after a few minutes the light goes out completely. The monitor continues to operate for a few minutes then it just goes completely black. No image at all. I have to unplug it and plug it back in again and it starts to work again. It works for a while and then goes through the same thing. It's not like it is going on stand-by because I am still using the computer when it goes black. I am using an HDMI cable for the connection.

Hello @slcphotos,
I understand that you are having issues with your HP Pavilion 22xi monitor going blank. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

Pavilion 22bw monitor - problem with Windows 7

Hello all, I have lately been having a problem with my HP Pavilion Slimline Windows 7 PC recognizing my HP Pavilion 22bw monitor (purchased separately from the PC). This problem was, for a while, sporadically popping up after the computer/monitor went to sleep and "reawoke", but is now basically happening every time I reboot.
The basic problem is: The monitor display is always at a low resolution and is often weirdly offset to the right, and the desktop extends beyond the screen. The display settings under Windows (Windows 7 Home Premium, 6.1.7601 Service Pack) only recognize the monitor as "Generic Non P&P Monitor". This is new and concurrent with the problem, as I have used this monitor and its HP driver with no issues for months.
I have tried re-installing the display drivers, fiddling with the power management settings, and plugging/unplugging the monitor, all to no avail. I tried manually setting resolution through the software and the display hardware as well.
Any ideas? Could it be a conflict with the graphic driver (onboard Intel)?
The strange thing is this started happening with no other computer changes, like new hardware/software, occurring, to my memory.
Thanks much to any who might have some insight.
tcoreyb

Hi tcoreyb,
What version of Win 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) and what is the product number of your Slimline PC?
Try setting the monitor back to factory settings using the monitor's On Screen Display. If the symptom persists, then navigate to Control Panel - Device Manager - Monitors and uninstall the current monitor display driver.
Reboot your system. If the symptom persists, try installing the HP monitor display driver and utility tools found here if your operating system, (OS), is 64 bit or here if your OS is 32 bit.
If this does not correct, then try reinstalling your Slimline, factory installed, Intel graphics driver via HP's Recovery Manager driver reinstallation instructions.
Can you test the monitor on a different computer? That may help to isolate the problem to either the monitor or a graphics driver problem.

Hp Pavilion 23xi monitor brightness in bottom right corner is darker then the rest of the screen

Since yesterday the brightness in the corner in the bottom right is much lower then the rest of the screen.

HP Pavilion 25bw monitor has narcolepsy

I have a HP Pavilion 25 bw montor that I use with a Thinkpad laptop. I shut both down at the end of each day. This morning the monitor won't turn on. When I turn it on it automatically goes to sleep.

Hello @gatesgrad,
I understand that your HP Pavilion 25 Monitor goes to sleep when you start up your computer and you would like some assistance. I am setting out some steps for you to follow below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the issue persists after this you can try the monitor on another computer to see if it continues. If it does it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Pavilion wireless keyboard issues

I have just bought a new Pavilion 500-250ea desktop + Pavilion 22xi monitor. Nice hardware, shame about having to have Windows 8.1 though :-)
The desktop shipped with a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard (Part No 697345-031). I've spent the last couple of days with all the kit on the desk, setting everything up and transferring all my files etc. All going nicely until I got to the stage where I was able to take my old machine away and put the new one in the space UNDER the desk (wooden top). Now the mouse is erratic and the keyboard often just 'hangs' for a while. Surely the wireless range ought to be better than that and not bothered simply by an intervening desk???? Or is 'deskTOP' meant to be taken literally.....
Also, the keyboard has NO CapsLock or NumLock lights !!! This plays havoc when trying to enter passwords :-( Is there any utility perhaps to display the CapsLock and/or NumLock status on the screen??

Hello Nemo2000,
I have read your post on how your desktop is experiencing erratic control of the wireless keyboard and the mouse with the desktop hidden away, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I recommend moving the desktop to a more open area to test for spacial interference. To expand on this, I suggest following this document on Wireless Printing Common Questions. Under "Wireless Connection Issues" please select "How do I improve a weak signal from my wireless router?" on obstructions.
In regards to the caps and num lock keys, I understand there are no indication lights in the top right-hand corner. On most programs, however, you will be given an indication that the cap locks are on for passwords. A good example of this is when you log onto your computer, it will tell you if the caps lock is on or not.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

External HP Pavilion 23xi monitor cuts off laptop audio

I want to use my HP Pavilion 23xi monitor as an external monitor for my laptop (Sony Vaio, Windows 7). The laptop only has an HDMI connection, so I used an HDMI cable to connect it. The HP monitor works fine, but when it is connected, it cuts off all audio output on the laptop. There is no sound from the internal speaker on the laptop, or from the headphone connection.
If the HDMI connection automatically takes over the audio output, surely there should be at least a headphone socket on the PC? I can't change the connection type, as the laptop only has HDMI for an external monitor. Is there any configuration change that will fix this?
This question was solved.

Hi,
As you mentioned, the HDMI sound may take over sound, disable HDMI sound may help. Pleae try:
Right click the speaker icon
Select Playback devices
Right click HDMI sound and disable it

Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello UncleBob62,
It could be the display driver that is not properly working
1. Click on the start icon
2. Right click on computer and go to properties
3. Select Device Manager
4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
The computer screen will go blank
On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?

Multiple Monitor Issue

Alright, so I have a 15" Macbook Pro with the dual graphics cards (GeForce 9600M GT and GeForce 9400M GT 256 version). It's the 2.66 intel processor one. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out this dual monitor issue that I've been having for a few days now. When I'm using the 9400M card and I plug into my mini displayport everything works just fine. This includes the VGA cord, the HDMI, as well as a standard Apple monitor. Now, when I switch over to the higher end graphics card, as soon as I plug into the mini displayport my screen goes black. And that's it. I can't do anything. I have to hold the power button down until the computer turns off.
I've been searching for days in order to find an answer to this question or if anyone has ever had a similar problem and no one could help me. I even went to the genius bar and no one could help either. Keep in mind I've tried this in a variety of ways. I've plugged the monitor in after the computer was running, I've had it plugged in while the computer was turning on, and each time after the initial boot up everything goes black.
To make matters worse, I originally came across this issue because I use Windows 7 on bootcamp and I wanted to use dual monitors within Windows. Bootcamp is only set to use the 9600M graphics card which is the one giving me all the heartache and apparently there's no way around it. If anyone has the slightest clue as to what's going on here or why it would be doing such a thing, let me know. Thanks.

Jon: Thanks for answering those questions. Run the Apple Hardware Test that you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP. If any errors are reported, go back to the Genius Bar with the error codes reported by AHT and ask to have the machine repaired.
If you have extended AppleCare protection, you have a TechTool Deluxe CD/DVD. You can also use that to test your hardware. If it reports any errors, take the exact wording and error codes from that report along with you to the GB, too.
The problem is not with your three external displays or your cables, adapters, or your MBP's mini-Displayport, because they all work fine with the 9400M. The problem isn't some wrong contact that's being made momentarily as you insert the mini-Displayport plug into the port, because it occurs even when the cable is securely connected before starting up the computer. It seems to me the problem must reside either in your 9600M GT or in its connection to the mini-displayport.

Graphics card issue or monitor issue?

Hello, i have a MacPro 2.66 w/ an ATI x1900 and a MacBookPro with th nVidia 8600
i recently purchased a 28" Hanns-g Display which i upgraded from my 20" apple cinema display, im curious if this could be a graphic issue or a monitor issue:
When i connect the 28" monitor to my ATI card (port 1) and boot into 10.4.10 (macPro) i noticed diagonal lines that seem to "scroll" (like an overscan line or something) on greyish and lighter backgrounds.
tried it with the second port, same thing, it does it on all resolutions
(it runs @ 1920x1200).
when i boot into XP and try the same sites i did in 10.4.10 it doesnt do it at all, its as it should.
I tried both VGA>DVI and HDMI>DVI to the ATI on OSX but it only does it with the HDMI>DVI connection under OSX, VGA looks fine.
(btw my ati card is clean as a whistle, no dust or anything)
However if i plug it into my MacBookPRo with hdmi>DVI it doesnt do that at all.
so im wondering probably incompatible monitor or what?
im looking to getting a 30" Apple Display but not if its gonna act up like that on my macpro, none of this appeared on my ACD 20".
any suggestions or tips?
thanks!

im not experiencing scan line son my 30" ACD display under OSX or XP with my ATI, could be the monitor you are using, but if its not doing it with your MBP than.....idk
sonds strange, try another gfx card or another macpro if possible.
