Hp Pavilion dv7 2030 ea - overheated and stop working. Charger cable in fire

I have this notebook that almost set my house in fire.
What is wrong with HP?? How COME THEY ARE HAVING THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICES? After I send a couple of complains about how lucky I was to be at home when the cable started to burn, nobody ever replayed.
With all do respect, HP is the lowest brand. Not only for the quality of the products but most of all for the Customer service. There is no such a thing.
I have posted some pictures on the internet - f.book. Check them out and watch out. This is serious!!

Welcome to the new HP!
It seems that the entire dv7 line has overheating problems.  The support people I have talked with are worthless for properly diagnosing the problem.  Apparently if a machine shuts down due to excessive heating there is no error / log message to determine that overheating is actually the problem.
With as many complaints s they have had you would think they would design in a solution, but after receiving my new dv7-5000 I have determined that HP no longer has qualified designers of any kind.
I especially like the cute little design touches, all the icons that go to the ports are located on the inderside of the case, That does a lot of good!
By default the function keys are "reversed" .  To use F1 you have to use a double keystroke: Fn & F1.  Not only that the Fn is not a toggle.  There is a little fix, you can go into the BIOS and reverse it back to normal behavour.
Some keys, like the caplock & wireless key have a little light indicator, but the Num Lock key does NOT.
These are just a few complaints....
If they can;t get these things right how can we expect them to fix an overheating problem, slow disk drives, lack of USB3, external ports without proper seperation between connectors, or screw down connections.

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1240us Express Card Slot Stopped Working

    My express card slot stopped working.
    The tech I was working with for the HP tuner card seems to think it is a driver or hardware issue.
    Please see the email string below.
    I tried all I know to get the slot to work, but I do not know which driver for it.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Below are the emails.
    Thanks, the problem is I do not know which driver it is.
    I looked through the entire device manager tree, and do not know which driver controls the express slot, can you send me in the right direction?
    I have an HP Pavilion DV& 1240us laptop.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Without inserting another device into the slot the only thing I can think of is checking device manager for the drivers for that express slot and see if they are installed or reinstall the drivers.
    If the device works on another laptop but continues to have problems on the first one then there must be something going on with the express slot on the first laptop.

    No I do not, have you had this type of issue before?
    Could it be missing or corrupt drivers?
    Is there a way to test the slot without a device, checking drivers etc..

    Yes it is connected directly, it does not even get recognized by device manager.
    No default beep when plugging and unplugging.
    IT USED TO WORK NO PROBLEM.
    It will work in another laptop.
    I am a tech by trade, so if I have to edit the registry, etc.. let me know.
    Right now I am baffled, what can I do.

    Hello,
    Are you making sure to connect the 1500 directly into the express slot in the laptop and into a usb converter?
    When it is plugged in does anything appear in device manager with a yellow mark next to it? Is it being listed under sound, video, game controllers at all?

    Hey there,
    Can you explain more on this issue? I see by the emails the Express card slot is not functioning. What you are using in the card slot? Is the the HP TV Tuner card? If so, do you have another express card handy so you could test to see if it was the card or the slot? If your missing the driver you will need to use the HP Recovery CD to reinstall the TV Tuner driver.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Display becomes brigthly and stops working what can I do ?

    Hi,
    I´ve got a problem with my macbook.
    My display becomes brigthly and stops working.
    It happens every two minutes after you work with the macbook.
    If I change the position of the display its working again.
    Do you have any ideas to solve this problem ?
    Thank you so much

    While it sounds like it may be a hardware issue, perhaps wiring to the screen since the symptoms change when you move the screen, you can try an SMC and PRAM reset to see if that makes a difference (and they won't hurt anything):
    SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    You can also run the Apple hardware test to see if it spots any obvious hardware issues (although if it's a wiring problem, it may not pick that up). See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509

  • Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase

    HP Deskjet 4180
    Genuine HP Tri-Color #22 ink cartridge and Black #21 ink cartridge
    Windows 7
    Test printing from Photoshop, Windows Picture Viewer and GIMP.
    Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase.
    The experience that I'm having currently contradicts very good, accurate color from HP cartridges in the past from RGB images that I've printed successfully with this printer.  I've previously got excellent color from the true HP ink cartridges on this Deskjet 4180 printer.
    But today it is obvious that the yellow is not flowing from this cartridge that was installed only a few weeks ago.  And my ink levels are at 50 percent, and they were even higher when I started today... see the screenshots below.
    I'm printing from Photoshop, but for some tests I tried printing from two other applications today but I'm always getting these results that indicate that there is no yellow printing... this is much worse than just a bad color profile.  I'm an experienced photo retoucher and I have a long history of dealing with inkjet printing in the work place with all kinds of printers.
    I know that inks can dry up in their cartridges if they don't get printed with every few weeks and if the printer isn't maintained.  I purchased these new cartridges only about three weeks ago and the first test prints and some prints two weeks ago came out perfect.
    But today this is the result I'm getting... screenshots below show the original RGB image and an actual scan of the bad print results I'm getting, indicating that no yellow is flowing from the HP tri-color cartridge.  And a screenshot of the ink level indicator panel is at the bottom.
    Why is the yellow ink drying up and not flowing so quickly?  How can I prevent this besides doing semi-weekly prints to keep the inks from drying up?  I'm in a fairly humid climat, so dry air is not the problem.  The contact points on the cartridge are clean.
    Does HP guarantee their cartridges for this kind of thing?
    Good color - original RGB image...
    Bad color - actual scan of bad print with no yellow, below...
    Ink levels after test printing...
    Thanks for any help.

    Well, here is the answer I was looking for, only arrived at by way of my own further investigation and experimentation.
    It seems that no matter who I asked about this problem, I always got the same questions and answers.
    For example, the people at the HP 800 number for consumer help, where it seemed I was not talking to someone who was actually familiar with the product, because they came to the conclusion that I need to buy a new HP printer... wow, isn't that a big surprise for an HP employee to say, "Just buy a new one!".
    No one, and I mean no one, would seem to be able to listen to or understand what I wrote in my original question on this thread about how this printer prints fine when I first put in a new ink cartridge, and then just a few weeks later one or two of the colors seem to be dried up and they won't print.
    And it seems that somewhere I read that you need to print a test maintenance print every month or so to keep the inks from drying up... but the inks seem to be drying up in less than three weeks now, even though I used to be able to go for months without doing a print and the inks would still be fine.
    So when I was talking to someone in India, Malaysia or the Philippines at the HP 800 customer phone support number, after going through so much crap about whether this printer was still in warranty just to have a simple question answered you'd think I was trying to launch nuclear missiles and my launch codes weren't current.
    And it was much the same situation to get on HP's "Live Chat" customer service on the net, and then they'd go through the same line of questions and answers as the support people on the HP 800 phone line...
    Q: "Do you have dirty nozzles on your ink cartridges?"
    A: "No, like I said in my original statement, I cleaned those and they weren't dirty to begin with."
    Response: "Because you need to clean those every so often, you know."
    Q: "Did you try cleaning the contacts on the cartridges?"
    A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I already did that."
    Response: "Because you need to clean those contacts every so often, you know."
    Q: "Did you try putting in a new cartridge?"
    A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, this cartridge is nearly new and it shows a 90% ink level."
    Response: "Because you need to put in new cartridges when the ink runs out, you know."
    Q: "Did you do a test print?"
    A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I did a test print and that's what is telling me that the yellow and magenta are not printing any longer."
    Response: "Because that's how you can tell if any colors aren't printing, you know."
    So is anyone else seeing a pattern here?  It's not like I'm talking or live chatting with a real human being, but maybe an automated voice prompt system that only has an A, B, C   or   1, 2, 3   type of response system that it's working from. 
    The people hear a answer, and regardless of what that question was in the troubleshooting category that they are in, they just have a stock response that seems to bypass what the customer's answer was, so it's like I'm talking or live chatting with a machine that is uttering its responses in a fixed pattern, regardless of what I'm saying.
    HP customer service is like talking to someone who isn't listening, so often they ask their next question, but I just answered that question with my previous answer.
    Like I said, the way it used to be, HP or even after market ink cartridges could sit for months without doing a maintenance print and I would still get a perfect print every time.  And that's pretty typical for maybe an older person who isn't printing prints that often, but they just want to print one every few months or so, like my mom, with her HP printer, who I've been troubleshooting this problem for.
    Or even with my own large format Epson printer or any of the pro level inkjet printers and even IRIS printers that I've used in the workplace over the course of the last 20 years... you could do a print every two months and there was no problem with dried up inks.
    And I know somewhere in the past  I read that the maintenance print that the instructions was recommending be printed only needed to be done every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the inks from drying up, although when I go through the entire full blown PDF instruction manual now I can't find ANYTHING about how often a maintenance print needs to be done... that's right, nothing!
    But on Christmas eve I once again exchanged my last, dried up HP tri-color ink cartridge at a Walgreens store where my mom had purchased it months prior (and the guy was nice enough to exchange it even after 5 months)  which was yet another HP tri-color ink cartridge that had at least two of it's colors dry up after only a few weeks.  At that Walgreens they had been nice enough to replace three prior HP tri-color ink cartridges with the same problem in the last year, and before that three different after market, off brand tri-color ink cartridges from another store had dried up after only a few weeks.
    So the guy at Walgreens told me that now  with HP cartridges you need to do a maintenance test print EVERY WEEK in order to keep the inks from drying up... THAT'S EVERY WEEK YOU ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO DO A TEST PRINT FOR MAINTENANCE.
    Now, you DO NOT need to do one of the test prints where it prints a photo of a pear, which uses quite a bit of ink, but you can just do one of the self test prints where you hold down on the CANCEL button and then press the COLOR COPY button and it prints a quick test page with just a little color and a lot of B&W text, and that's apparently enough.
    And that seems to be enough to keep the ink cartridges from drying up, the way they seem to be otherwise doing so quickly now, as opposed to how HP and other brand ink cartridges used to.
    And in fact, now after about a month, after doing weekly self test prints, the ink cartridges are still flowing well and they just did some full color prints quite nicely... ALERT THE MEDIA AND ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES HP PRINTING EXPERTS!
    So the questions I would ask myself are these...
    First, why is it that NO ONE at HP customer service knew this, whether it be on the HP 800 phone support or on the HP "Live Chat" with people in India, Malaysia and the Philippines, or even here on the HP Help Forum with so-called EXPERTS from HP?
    Second, how have the inks changed so that in the past, you didn't need to do maintenance prints every week, but maybe every two months at the most, in order to keep the inks from drying up, but now the inks dry up in a matter of less than two weeks unless a maintenance print is done once a week?
    Have HP and other ink makers changed the formula of their inks so they dry up much faster, forcing people to buy new cartridges when the last ink cartridge is still at a 90% level with dried up ink?
    And as a result, are people on the HP 800 customer phone support line and on HP "Live Chat" telling people that they need to buy a new printer, when in actuallity their ink cartridges are just drying up within a new record short period of time?
    You tell me, HP experts.
