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 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.

New Pavilion 23 monitor flashes and entire machine occasionally locks up

While working in any app, the machine will flash black twice, then come right back to where I was. Also locks up at times.
First experience with HP, with TouchScreen and with Windows 8. Not impressed presently. What is wrong with my computer?

Sprint 8830 World Edition SIM issue and possible cause

I recently purchased a Sprint 8830 World Edition as a good travel/backup phone. The device is unlocked, as verified by going to Options>Advanced Options>SIM Card and then typing MEPD. Everything there shows Disabled.
Here's my problem:
While in the U.S. just to test it out, I inserted a T-mobile SIM and the 8830 searches for a GSM network, and after a while shows "no service". I also tried an AT&T SIM and the 8830 does the seach again, and after a while shows "no service". Am I getting this because I'm the U.S? Is this any indication I'll have a problem in another country using a local SIM card?
Addition info:
When the 8830 was released, way back when, I found a comment from someone saying
"this (8830) is only unlocked for GSM networks, and presumably only those GSM networks that aren't in the same region as Sprint networks (so roaming on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US is probably also out of the question"

Hp Pavilion 15-e017tx, bluetooth and some other minor problem,

I have Hp Pavilion 15-e017tx with windows 8.1. Well before upgrading to windows8.1 from 8 all was well, but after upgardation the bluetooth isnt working and also the LED indiactor for the Airplane mode on off probably isnt indicating properly. It always shows the white light even though airplane mode is on instead of Orange light. Its same with the Audio control button. It isnt indicating even in the mute mode. I Have no idea whether its hardware or software problem. Please help me in this.

Hey @vikasmatu ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you have some issues with speakers and humming.
Can you please test the speakers on another notebook? (Not a desktop.) 4.1 speakers will drain a lot of power which could be causing the humming and low signal on the other 2 speakers. Humming typically comes from power. I'm sure you've noticed if your speakers are powered on and you touch something metal with the plug it makes a horrendous crackling or humming noise. You may be picking up some feedback from other devices as well. Isolate the notebook and speakers from other electronics (especially cordless phones and cellphones).
Alternatively can you try another set of speakers with the notebook, or headphones?
Let me know the results of these test so we can address the source of the issue.

Adobe AIR 3 Performance Issues and Code Signing Certificate Problem

I recently updated to Adobe AIR 3.0 SDK (and runtime) doing HTML/Javascript development using Dreamweaver CS5.5 in a Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
The AIR app I'm developing runs well from within Dreamweaver. But when I create/package the AIR app and install it on my machine:
1. The app literally CRAWLS running it in my Windows 7 12G RAM machine (especially when I use the mouse to mouse over a 19-by-21 set of hyperlinks on a grid) --- IT IS THAT SLOOOOWWWW...
2. The app runs fine in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4G RAM, also using the Adobe AIR 3 runtime.
About the Code Signing Certificate problem:
When I try to package the AIR app with ADT using AIR's temporary certificate feature, I get the error message "Could not generate timestamp: handshake alert: unrecognized_name".
I found some discussions on this problem in an Adobe AIR Google Groups forum, but no one has yet offered any resolution to the issue. Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.
The Google Groups Adobe AIR page is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/17cd38d71a385587
Any ideas about these issues?
Thanks!

Help with kernel and possible power supply problem

From 2 days after getting my imac I had my first Kernel restart. Since then I have done everything apple has asked. Ram resets and removing everything from the imac itself To find that it still had a kernel problem. The error messages are Plugnplay or spinlock usually but have also been various ones such as Kerneltask. I have done a full reinstall of the operating system and only installed official apps from apple store, adobe flash and silverlight and next day was a kernel error for plugnplay.
The imac is currently in the shop for a look at but 2 phonecalls back saying they have had no evidence of errors. In fact its perfect for them. The kernel is usually a few hours from turning it on but can go all day fine But they have had the imac almost a week.
So the only thing I can think of is if it works great for them is either they are really lucky or have a different electricity supply/cable. So this leaves me thinking as stupidly as if it is working perfect for them then could it be a surge protector or power supply causing the random crashes? Even something to do with the power lead itself? I am really pulling at strings and going crazy because the only other thing I have been told to do is spend a week at a time just adding one thing at a time till the error shows itself so could be months and months.
i know kernel issues are historically hard to diagnose but any help would be great. At the moment i have a £3000 paperweight on my desk thats only turned on a few hours a day because I have no faith in it.

Hi Joel,
For the external drive issue try resetting your firewire ports.
To do this, shutdown and disconnect the firewire devices from your computer and from each other if there is a chain of them. Now disconnect the power cords from both your computer and from the firewire devices. Wait fifteen minutes. Connect up again and see what happens. The FW ports on Macs have a 'self re-setting fuse" that requires all power to be removed for a period of time for re-activation.
You may also want to try a PRAM reset if that doesn't resolve the issue. Sometimes this can also be implicated in FW problems. Shut down. Hold down the command option p r keys. Now start up, keeping the keys mentioned depressed until the chimes have sounded three times.
Cheers
Rod

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?

DVD DL fail to burn AND Firewire 400/800 problems

I have had several months of intermittent DVD burn fails. Most recently today burning from the finder and it is now reporting "The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
That error is new, previously it was always
Sense Key - Hardware Error
Sense Code - 0x03
The first time this cropped up was on 10.5.x and when I reported it to apple they had me take it to get the drive replaced since it was still covered by applecare.
After the DVD replacement and while still in the shop it burned a few DVD DLs ok. A few weeks later the same 0x03 errors. (it always burns CDs just fine)
After another phone conversation with applecare, they now suggest that the logic board needs to be replaced. (This was after I mentioned I frequently have problems with Firewire 400 or 800 external drives showing up...sometimes they work sometimes they don't. The same drives always show up when connected via USB)
I was walked through resetting the PRAM, which cleared up the Firewire 400/800 temporarily, but it did not help the DVD burn problem.
So on the eve before the appointment, this crazy MBP (2,2, 2.33 ghz) burns a DVD DL after blowing compressed air thru the DVD slot. But the second DVD DL fails to burn with the ""The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
I was hoping that the upgrade to 10.6.x would solve both issues, but not so much.
Anyone else with the DVD DL problem experiencing FW problems?

The problems with some external FW burners under SL are fairly common, Robert. With some earlier drives (like my Pioneer 109 in an external box) often one can't even "see" the drive at all (though the bridge in the external box will show up under System Profiler) through FW, though it works fine under USB. With some later ones things like PRAM resets, or simply disconnecting and reconnecting the drive, will get them working. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10070281 or some discussion of these issues and possible "workarounds".
As far as the general disc burning issue goes, other things that are worth considering include problems with a "fullish" hard drive with fragmented free space, and the actual media being used. What brands of DVD have you tried?
DL discs, generally seem much more finicky about dust and dirt than single layer when it comes to burning (and , of course, need much more free HD space) . Will it burn a single layer DVD or a CD without problems?

Windows 7 and Multiple Monitor Issues

Alright, I have spent the past 3 days searching these forums as well as on Microsoft's support pages and all of Google to find the answer to my issue and it seems as though I'm the only one who is running into this problem.
I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with the GeForce 9600M GT Nvidia Graphics card with the latest version of Mac OSX and Bootcamp installed on it. I have Windows 7 installed in bootcamp. I just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to VGA cord with a VGA cord so as to connect my computer to my Sony Bravia HDTV to use as a second monitor. I plug in the cords, plug them into my TV, and put it into the proper input and it works like a charm. Then I go and boot up in bootcamp under Windows 7, plug in the cord, and my screen gets to the "starting windows" logo and then it goes black. I push ever button, I try control alt delete, nothing. I have to hold down the power button to turn off the computer and then turn it back on.
I turn it on, boot up into Windows 7, let it load, then plug in the cord, and the computer display instantly goes black, again, and yet nothing displays on the TV. Again, I try everything to no avail, so I power it off and back on. I go through this at least 10 times to no avail. I finally give up and try again the next day.
Next day, I plug it in, and the monitor stays up, but yet nothing is displayed on the TV. I go to my resolution settings in Windows, and go to the multiple monitors tab, and select every possible option (extend, duplicate, etc) and nothing will display on my TV. I try to change the settings to which it responds with "unable to save display settings" and nothing changes. I attempt to enter the nvidia program and make changes that way. The TV is detected, but when I select it and attempt to apply anything, no changes take effect and I am left with only the laptop display. Keep in mind I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the video drivers and such.
Finally I get fed up so I purchase a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapted and a DVI to HDMI adapter. I try again. Again in OSX it launches immediately, no problems. I go back into Windows, and immediately I'm dealing with the instant black screen.
I'm going crazy over here trying to figure this out. I know it's possible to do this because I've seen people on youtube doing this and again it works on OSX so why the heck won't it work? If anyone has any idea what's going on here please help me out. Thanks.

JonMarx... I'm having the exact same problem. I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I'm going mad, and it's only by divine providence that I've finally located the only other person who knows what I've been going through. I've spent at least 20 hours trying to get this started back up, to no avail.
I had the secondary display working peachy for a while, long enough to configure everything to be exactly how I wanted it. I unplugged the monitor from the computer just to see what would happen, and that's when the problems started. I managed to get it to work one last time for a brief period a few hours later, but the way it just clicked on made it feel too good to be true.
I've had a wierd problem with a phantom display as well. The display will frequently show up as being available in both the nVIDIA panel and the windows settings, but if I apply the settings, they won't go through. I got a few screenshots of it the last time it happened.
I was just about to reinstall windows completely, but it seems that I'll just run into the same problem again if I do... Here's to hoping a solution is found.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

Monitor Out Issue and 2K proxy from RED Issue

I'm having two monitor issues since I updated to FCS3 (Color 1.5)
The first is with most footage.
Most any footage that I bring into Color 1.5 using the "Sent to" feature from FCP7 (720p, 1080p, etc) will not be displayed in my external monitor (JVC DTV). This was not a problem in previous version of Color or FCP. When I adjust "Video Output" in my Color Preference from SD to HD 720p, 1080p etc... My monitor recognizes that new input. It tells me that it is no receiving a signal in a different frame size (rate). I have tried every combination of monitor setting under the sun in the Color Preferences Room and nothing will change that. (This is not a universal issue). I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES IN FCP7. There are only two ways I can see this footage, the first is in my Projects Settings bin in my Preferences Room. If I change my Resolution Presets to any of the 4k options, I see a tiny picture in my external monitor. The other way I can see an image in my external monitor is to go into my Secondaries Room, enable a secondary, goto the preview window and select the Color Matte tab (the middle of the 3 tabs on the upper right of the picture).
The second issue I'm having is with RED proxy files. When I bring into Color 1.5 2k proxy files from the RED everything works and plays fine (in all monitors) except there is a black artifact (bar) along the bottom right. Again this is not the case when I'm looking at these same files in FCP7.
Any help fixing these problems would be greatly appreciated ASAP. I'm scheduled to be grading a $600,000 dollar film in the coming weeks.
Thank you

Adobe Reader XI Signature and touch monitor issue

Hi. I am trying to utilize signature feature on this new Adobe Reader XI. When I first tried this at a local Microsoft Store, it worked beautifully and I immediately downloaded the software on my computer (Windows 7; touch screen computer). Upon installing them, however, I cannot get my finger to sign just as I was able to do before at the Store. It just won't let me sign on the box (but I was able to do it using a mouse). I thought it is perhaps a Windows issue and I tried it with my friend's Windows 8 computer. However, same problem occurs. What would be a possible solution to this issue? Thank you very much!!!!

Hing conected to monitor case and wires broken on HP Pavilion dv6-6c13cl

Hello,
I have a monitor with broken hing/monitor case and the wires that connect the monitor to the computer is also broken. (I know I droped it in is such way that the monitor is okay but the hings broken from over extension.)
I need to replace the monitor case. The monitor works but the wire that comes out of it is in bad condition, needs either repair or placement.
Basically what I need are
1. The part number of the case with the hings.
2. The wire that connects the monitor to the computer, Or I can replace the monitor and I have found p/n from this forum which is 665334-001 I belive.
Thank you

You need one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HP-PAVILION-DV6-DV6-6000-DV6-6C00-DV6-6100-Display-CABLE-KIT-665304-001-...
Your display part nos are listed on page 31 of the Manual:
Manual
The whole screen assembly with hinges is not a single part; you have to order multiple parts.
Here is a complete screen assembly with hinges and the cable for $107 plus shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/432296-001CMPTASBLY-HP-HP15-4-BV-DV6xxx-Display-LCD-Complete-Assembly-GRADE-...
You will never order all the parts separately, even without the screen for less than that from HP.
