HP Pavilion dm3-1060ea Startup Problems

My HP Pavilion dm3-1060ea keeps on attempting to start up but never actually manages to. What I mean by this is that it displays the HP logo on the screen but then, after a few seconds, the screen goes black and the whole process starts again!
When I press esc or f11 it makes beeps, but the amount of beeps is inconsistent, so I have no idea what to do. Also the only light that turns on is the power bolt one.
Thanks in advance!

HP Pavilion g7 1261nr startup problems

Hello. I own a HP Pavilion g7 1261nr laptop that has worked fine since I purchased it in May of 2012. At the beginning of the year, I started having issues with my laptop. In January, when I tried to turn on my laptop, it started like it normally did. When it had fully booted, I was ready to use it and it just shut off without warning. I tried to turn it on several times and it would just shut off in a couple of seconds. I took out the battery and used the ac cord and it worked fine for a few days. After that, I plugged the battery back in and everything seemed like it was back to normal. About a month later, I ran into the same problem. Except when I pressed the power button to turn it on the second time, my laptop would work normally. Recently, the problem has become worse. I tried to use my laptop this morning and the same thing happened. Trying to run the laptop with just the ac cord or the battery isn't working either. Now, when I press the power button, the fan is really loud and the caps and number lock led flash every two or three seconds. What could be the problem with my laptop?

Is there anyone that can help me with this issue?

Audio not working in pavilion dm3 after harddrive change and operating system reload

I had hard drive failure on my Hp Pavilion dm3 and so I got a new hard drive and had the operating system reloaded and upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. My audio isn't working unless I have external speakers plugged in. I have no missing drivers in the Device Manager. The speaker icon has movement and it seems like there should be volume coming out but there's nothing.
Is it possible that while I had my machine repaired that the guy unhooked the speakers from inside the computer accidentally?
Its not easy to get into the inside of this machine the repair guys said. I did take this computer to a repair shop to get fixed because I don't know how to do all that changing. I really don't want to take it back in just yet cause Im hoping its just a driver issue.
Also before I had all this work done and computer working great, I used to have little image pop up when I would press the mute button or when I would increase or decrease the volume and I can see how high or low my volume without having to hover over the speaker icon on my taskbar. Now after the reload all that doesnt appear. The buttons work but no little image popping up and I can figure out what that driver is called.

Hi,
You can alwasy roll back the updates using Windows Restore then apply one by one or Please use the following instructions to check and fix:

HP Pavilion dm3-1035dx entertainment notebook/PC's touchpad no longer works?

Hello.
I have a HP Pavilion dm3-1035dx entertainment notebook/PC that hasn't been used for over an year or so. I finally used it again today, but its touchpad no longer works. I researched on the web and found out that others have this problem, but with its sleep mode. Obviously, mine was one was off and not asleep. I also read there is a BIOS update to fix it. I tried that and it didn't fix the problem.
The button between the space bar and touchpad always show white color. Pressing it doesn't seem to do anything (color doesn't change and no changes). I also noticed the preinstalled 64-bit W7 HPE's Device Manager does not seem to show this touchpad. I also tried a Windows 7 PE boot CD and its mouse didn't work either. Both installed OS and the boot CD used to work with its touchpad.
Is this touchpad dead? Is there anything else to check?
Thank you in advance.

I guess battery might have gone bad and needs to be replaced. Download and Install HP Support Assistant from here and follow instructions from below link to run a test on your battery

Pavilion dm3 AMD switchable graphics (HD4000&HD5000) in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Basically it is a continuation of my previous topic:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/Pavilion-dm3-AMD-switchable-graphics-HD4000-...
Users of HP laptops with switchable graphics HD4000/HD5000 will face the same problem after upgrade to Windows 10.
The earlier we'll start to discuss and find the solution for this sort of laptops the higher chance that we will be able to use our laptops in Windows 10.
I use Windows 10 Technical Preview now and I try to find the correct driver for my laptop.

Hello there mate got g510 iam on windows 10 insider preview build 10159 and it runs smooth! about the driver thingy i found it the most easy to do beyond all the other devices out there all u have to do is downlaod and install the last build from here : https://mega.nz/#!hUc2SSDI!9VRPiak8tS90rKbbVEEA0MCn5QbI8YgWRA_gCkFmcrY make sure to clean install it by 8gb at least flash driver and u are good to go ps: upgrading from older builds can make crashes and black screens after the amd driver installed so just make clean install for ur own good after u are done u can check for windows updates and it will take the intel and amd drivers that supports the wddm 2.0 plus the conexant audio and bluetooth ,Elan touchpad , the last stable ones comes with the updates and trust me its the most stable ones ive used so far the remaining unknown device and the pci is for the power manager and the intel imanagement engine u can use windows 8.1 x64 drivers for those sorry for the bad english tho xD

Cannot boot installer on new HP Pavilion DM3

I just purchased an HP Pavilion dm3 (the model based on the AMD Neo X2 L335 CPU) and I can't boot the latest 2009.08 installer, it locks up during the kernel loading process. I presume I would need to add some esoteric kernel parameters on the kernel line in grub (ie. noapic) but I have no idea which one. I've successfully installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it so I know this thing will run Linux. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I first installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it to test linux. Now I am trying to install Arch.
I am using the 2010.05 installer. It hangs when it says: "Setting Consoles to UTF-8 mode".
Any ideas?

Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

Disk Utility will tell you something about it's SMART status:

Dual Monitor Startup Problem on MacPro - Solved

I have a model 53135LL/A = mid 2010 MacPro with 8 cores, DUAL monitor cards and monitors, 24GB memory, running Lion 10.7.3. It is important to note that I am also using the Apple bluetooth Magic Mouse and the smaller, bluetooth keyboard (no numeric keypad). This unit was supplied with Lion in December 2011 and has had a startup problem from the beginning as follows:
1 - when starting from a cold start the dual monitor positions are reversed from the correct position
2 - additionally the USB and firewire connected devices (e.g. Wacom tablet, 2 card readers) do not function properly.
The workaround for me has been to start the system, wait for the logon screen, then click restart. Upon restart everything comes up and functions correctly.
Specifics on my setup and starting problems:
1 - My main monitor (Monitor #2) is a large gamut monitor that is located to the right. This monitor is connected to card slot 1 as that is the faster card slot (pcx16). The second monitor (Monitor #1) is an ordinary unit and connected to card slot 2 (pcx4). The monitors are set up as an extended desktop.
2. The Wacom tablet (Intuous 3 wide) is connected to USB port on rear of machine. CF card reader by Delkin is connected to Firewire on rear of machine, and an SD card reader is connected to USB on the rear of the machine.
3. My dock is positioned on the left side of the left monitor. The menu bar is along the top of the left monitor, and all desktop icons are on the left monitor. The right monitor has no items on it.
On a typical cold start, as mentioned above, the apple logo appears on the right and then the logon screen appears on the right.
If I proceed to logon at that point, all the desktop items move to the right monitor and the computer thinks the positions are reversed. In other words, it behaves as though the right monitor (#2) is on the left of the desktop and left monitor (#1) is on the right.
Additionally, the Wacom tablet using either pen or mouse does not map over the full desktop range. If I use either card reader and then eject the card, no further card insertions will be recognized.
To fix this, I simply restart the machine thru the apple menu and everything comes up correctly.
I had discovered, that instead of completing the logon on a bad cold start, I could simply restart from the logon screen and all would work correctly.
On occasion, the logon screen would come up on the left monitor (as it should do) and in that case, if I log on all works correctly.
I have worked with Apple support on the phone, clearing setup ram etc. Have had the unit in to Apple store for hardware check, all OK. Next suggestion was reload OS and start over - no thanks.
SO - Here is the latest.
If I turn off my keyboard and mouse before starting the machine, then wait for the logon screen to appear - It starts correctly, with the logon screen on the left. I can then turn on my keyboard and mouse and all works as it should.
Bottom line - there appears to be a startup issue with Bluetooth devices from a cold start. Note that once the machine has been used for a bit, I can turn it off for short periods of time (e.g. 30 minutes) and it will start correctly even with the mouse and keyboard turned on.

That's how dwm behaves. I believe dwm's multihead support is rather lackluster out of the box. You might want to check out some of the patches they have, and ask around in the dwm hackers thread.
I currently have dwm simply draw status on all monitors, but I'm investigating separate status bars per monitor. We'll see where that takes me. Dwm is a tinker's WM!
i found the patch , thanks!

After a startup problem with my macbook pro i put it as slave and formatted the internal Hard drive. Now i want to install OS X Mavericks from USB

After a startup problem with my macbook pro i put it as slave and formatted the internal Hard drive. Now i want to install OS X Mavericks from USB
How can i do that?

What did you "put as slave?" What Mac model do you have, exactly?

Can anyone diagnose my startup problem from this screen pattern?

After failing to startup my Mac on about 8 consecutive attempts today, I finally got it to boot up, and now I'm afraid to turn it off for fear that I won't be able to re-boot.
Here's a photo of what kept happening:
http://www.doctorkeys.com/startup-problem-screen.html
This screen came up immediately, along with the spinning cog and the apple logo, both rather faint. But then those two disappeared, and all that was left was the gray screen with the pattern as shown in the photo. And that's as far as I got each time.
The display itself seems to be fine, because even when I couldn't use it with the Mac Pro, I was able to hook it up to my MacBook Pro and it worked fine.
Can anybody tell me what's happening?
Thanks,
Bruce Siegel

Hi-
To be honest, though, I was hoping that the pattern in the photo was so specific and common that someone would look at it and say, "Oh, of course! I've seen THAT one before. Do this and your problem is solved."
I have seen graphics cards produce that type of screen as a result of a few of situations.
One, if the card is miss seated.
One other is if a capacitor on the card has failed, while VRAM failure is another cause.
The first case is easy to fix; remove and reseat.
The second and third require replacement of the failed graphics card.
Cleaning the gold contacts with 99% isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly dusting the card while it is out is a good idea.
I have been able to replace a bad capacitor to restore a card, but luck was a big part of determining which one it was....

Startup problem with Lion OS 10.7.3

Just recently, I've been experiencing a startup problem with Lion. I don't usually have any issues running my Mac, so I'm at a loss why this is happening now.
I have an Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.3. I usually leaving my Mac running all the time and only restart when the need arises. In addition to being my main computer, this mac alsocontrols a MacMini that serves as a music server thru screen sharing.
This past weekend, I restarted my Mac and could not get past the grey screen. The mac chimes, the apple logo appears with the spinning gear, the blue screen briefly appears, but instead of progressing to the desktop it reverts to the grey screen with a repeating cycle of the spinning gear appearing (spins for a while, stops, disappears, reppears spinning, stops, disappears, over and over) - never progressing beyond that stage.
I decided to reinstall the system and things have been fine for the past few days. Today, restarting again resulting in the same problem.
I've tried several things without success. I disconnected all peripherals, reset the PRAM/SMC, ran Disk Utility from a install volume and ran repair and permissions (no problems reported). Tried safe mode startup - a progress bar appeared but never fully progressed and could not get to the desktop.
Recent changes included updating the OS to 10.7.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 - no recent hardware changes. No bluetooth devices connected.
Any thoughts? Thanks -

Thanks -
I've reinstalled the OS today and am back up and running.
But, since this is twice this has happened within the past week, I'm worried about might be causing this issue - besides bad luck. My Mac is usually rock solid - can't remember the last time I've had to reinstall the OS in the past few generations of OS X.

Startup problems--time for a new machine?

I have an imac G5 that I bought last February. In the last few weeks I've been experiencing serious startup problems. When turned on, the screen goes gray and the lines and pixels fragment and shimmer. It takes a long time to go to the main screen and often the screen isn't stable and freezes. It takes me eight to ten startups to get the system stable.
I've repaired disk permissions, repaired h-drive, reset Pram. Still a mess. My husband wants me to just get a new one and get something that is not an Apple this time. I'm resisting that.
I don't want to lose all my data and I've backed up what I can but I'm worried the data is corrupted and if I load it on to a new machine, I will experience the same problems.
Any advice? I'm not even sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I'm out of warranty so I am on my own, but I'm frustrated to be having these problems with such a new machine.
Thanks for any advice,

Cassandra, in addition to Barbara's excellent suggestion: looking to see if you qualify for the program, please make sure that you have an external FireWire drive and clone your drive, (SuperDuper is an excellent choice for backing up, cloning and making scehduled backups).
