HP Pavilion Power Adapter Beeping/Not Working

I just made a post earlier tonight about how my HP Pavilion dv7-1014ca Entertainment Notebook was running too hot. Well now I've got bigger problems.
The battery on my laptop has been shot for a while now. My notebook isn't even 2 years old yet and I've gone through3 batteries. For whatever reason, they just aren't lasting. Last year I also had issues with my power jack not working properly. I got it repaired last summer, but in the past two months, it seems as if the issue has returned. Sometimes when I move the chord, the power supply cuts out. Also in the past month or so, my power adapter has been making this annoying beeping noise whenever I plugged it in. It would usually go away if I fiddled with it, but as of right now, I can't get it to stop, short of unplugging the thing. As it stands, the power adapter no longer seems to work, and since my battery is shot, my notebook has turned off. With no battery and no external power source, my laptop is unusable.
So... is the adapter fried? Is my power jack toast again? Seeing as my PC is no longer under warranty, what are my best options for replacement parts/fixes?

Hello @pxj,
I understand that your notebook's keyboard is not working, and that your alternative keyboard does not function as well. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since your system's available drivers do not contain any keyboard drivers for Windows 7, I recommend obtaining a recovery disc to re-install Windows Vista on your system. This can be done by following this document on Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Hi,
You should still be under warranty, but if not you should be able to buy one from HP Parts Surfer.
I hope this helps

My power adapter is not working at all

Hello
Recently, my power adapter has stopped working. I'm down to 33% battery power and no way to recharge! If I unplug the adapter and plug it directly into a wall outlet (grounded), it still does not work. No light on the adapter plug at all.
What's up here? How do I fix this? Please help!

If it won't switch on, and assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My Macbook Pro power adapter is not working

I have had my MacBook Pro for less than 1 year and I only use it to get to Uni and back. I leave the adapter at home and unplug it when I'm not using it, but lately it has decided that it doesn't want to work and hence I cannot charge my laptop. Is there anything I can do other than spen $90 on a new charger?

If your computer is still under warranty, so is the power adapter. Make an appointment at an Apple store or call AppleCare.

Power adapter light not working

The other day the LED light was stuck on green, even when laptop was not fully charged and even when I pulled it out of the computer!
Now, the light doesn't come on at all and it doesn't seem to be charging the computer. The battery indicator on the screen is showing that it is connected, but when I unplug the power adapter, the battery is not charged.
I've tried blowing out any dust/debris, and making sure all of the prongs are properly functioning. Any other advice?

Stop by an Apple Store, if you can, and test using a different AC adapter. If that works, your adapter is faulty. If it doesn't, your computer probably is.

HT3964 My power adapter is not working, for my MacBook Pro, souloution?

I am currently living on an island in Greece, but my computer is registered in Australia.
My power adapter for my Mac book pro has stopped working, it is only 13 months old.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try it on another MBP or try another one on your MBP (assuming you have such options available).
Here is the 'official' Apple support link:

You may very well have to purchase a new one.

Mag Safe power adapter light not working?

HI,
I"ve had my MBP laptop and accessories since October of last year. Haven't had much of a problem besides battery fluctuation. Anyways as of late, the last week or so, whenever I plug in the magsafe adapter the light will turn on (green) then orange to charge then sputter off as if it's not on, even though my laptop say's its charging. Do I have a short? Or whats wrong with my adapter? If something's wrong where do I go to get it replaced because I can't afford to buy a new one. Please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have also heard of the green/orange fluctuation being related to a defective battery. If you are also experiencing battery fluctuation, you may have a defective battery which is the real culprit. See if the battery fits any of the situations in this article:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Your best bet would be to make an appointment at the genius bar if you have access to an Apple Store. There you could try a known good power adaptor and see if the problem persists. They should be able to determine if the problem is with the adaptor or the battery or possibly both.
Good luck!

HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING | NO SOUND HELP

HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING
I have an HP Pavilion dv3t - 2000, Windows Vista computer.
SOMEONE DID ALREADY HELP ME HERE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY STOPPED RESPONDING | Please check that link out!
The volume touchpad above the keyboard is not working properly (There is no sound coming out of the speakers or the headphone jack) , If you touch the megaphone part of the touchpad above the keyboard then it stays red, however the sound icon on the taskbar changes from mute to unmuted when you touch the red megaphone. The volume slider on the touchpad works suprisingly.
I don't know if I uninstalled something or what but I need this problem fixed!
Thanks!

Hi,
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and remove the battery.
Follow the procedure detailed on Page 63 of your Maintenance & Service Guide to remove the RTC battery. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
Leave the notebook for 10 minutes and then re-insert the RTC battery, re-assemble and replace the cover, insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook. Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
If you still have no audio and the installer you downloaded previously still doesn't detect the Hardware, it would start to look like a Hardware failure, but to try and rule out any further software cause, try the following.
Follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run. The 'Try it' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD. If this runs Ok ( it will be slow running from a CD ) and you still have no audio output, this would tend to confirm a Hardware issue.

AC adapter light not working

When charging my Macbook Pro sometimes the indicator LED light doesn't come on at all. Everytime I checked when the LED isn't working the computer still charges, but I am not sure if when I leave it sometimes if it is charging correctly since the LED doesn't work periodically. I am also wondering if this is an issue with the adapter, rather then the actual computer port. If it is the computer port I don't feel comfortable with sending it out for repairs if its just a small issue. I guess what I am trying to see is if anyone else has experienced this issue. I would much rather go to the apple store and recieve a new adapter, and if the issue persists I can send it in for repairs. Please if anyone has experience with the same trouble I have had let me know. Thank you in advance.

May be the adapter is not working properly.
Take the MBP and MagSafe/Power Adapter to the Apple store for evaluation.
For:
The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the appropriate method.
Best.

Genius told me that my power adapter was NOT covered under warranty. ?????

Not too happy with my Apple store as of late. First I bring in my defective iPhone power adapter for a replacement and was told I had to schedule an appointment with a "Genius". I guess it takes a genius to plug in a power adapter and see that it doesn't work. Of course the next available appointment was 2 days away. So....I leave, make an appointment, come back 2 days later and the Genius tells me that the power adapter is not covered under warranty. Is this correct???? This is crazy. He actually told me that I could just buy another one there for $29 or find one on Ebay.
I don't even really have much use for the power adapter, but I find it very hard to believe that it is not covered under the same 1 year warranty as the phone.
Is this true?
Thanks.

I have had to deal with the "genius bar" for 4 weekends straight now, with one more weekend to go. All to simply get my Apple iPhone bluetooth replaced. They gave me a refurbished one which was still broken, and they didnt know how to even use their own software to do the rma. So far my worst experience with a store in a very long time and I have no plans of doing business with Apple through one of their "genius bars" ever again. Heck, I had to show the so called iPhone genius how to pair the headset with the phone. Quite pathetic.

Hi:
This is the only thing that I can think of that will work...see if manually installing the Vista 64 bit driver works on W8.
Run this driver. If it installs automatically, great. If not...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-65991-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the network controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34931. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.

Dear Ahmad
Welcome in lenovo community
Have you tried to first to enroll your fingers first , an application called Lenovo Think Vantage should be installed .
Do you have this application installed ?
Also you need to check the device manager , it's better to send us a screen shot of it .
Let us know
Thanks
