Laptop monitor no longer works, and neither does external monitor

My laptop has always had a severe problem with overheating when running even the simplest games, and the fan area in the upper left consistently reaches temperatures unbearable to touch. Using software to find internal temperatures I have found that the CPU usually is about 100 degrees celsius just standing by, and reaches upwards of 130 degrees Celsius when running games. If it ever went much past 130 it would usually shut it self down so it wouldn't fry, but recently the heat seems to have caused the hinge in the area to become ridiculously stiff to the point where the tension cracked the case. This caused the hinge to come out of the casing  which placed strain on the cable running through the hinge into the display. I eventually managed to get the hinge back inside the case after it being outside for a few weeks or so, but it didn't seem to matter because a few days later the monitor stopped working completely. It was now just white instead of displaying picture and my first thought was to use an external monitor temporarily but that didn't work either.  When booting up the computer the power and fan turn on and the wireless light turns on, first orange then white,  and the caps lock key will turn it's light on when pushed.  I'm not sure why an external monitor won't work but if anyone can at least help me get that working if not the laptop screen it would be awesome, thanks!

@ckurtz22 ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

    If you have the disks, use them to reinstall.  Otherwise, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • My ipod turned off and won't turn back on, help! Home button doesn't work and neither does Recboot!

    Hello! So I've had my Generation 5 IPOD for nearly two years. Tonight after a shower I tried to charge my IPOD (thinking it had just died because it was short on battery anyway) but it didn't turn on. I would reboot it by pressing the power and home button but sad to say, my home button stopped working about a month ago. : ( After this, I tried connecting it to a charger, two computers AND I downloaded Recboot with the extensions for a PC/Windows, it still did not want to connect. I'm not sure what to do besides maybe taking it to a Apple Store and getting the home button fixed and try to reboot it manually as I always have in the past. Any advice? Right now it's black with no signs of connecting to any machines. If I can't get the home button fixed, could I wait until the battery drains for it to just get recharge? If so how long does it take for the IPOD battery to just die so I can do this? Granted it was always sorta dying before this happened (it was red.) so it shouldn't or wouldn't take too long right?
    Please! : ( Any help would be appreciated. I live in a small town and the closet Apple store is about an hour away.

    If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
    If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

  • My Firefox 8 Menu button doesn't work and neither does the right click in the firefox window

    It seems that all the drop down buttons in the browser, including the bookmarks dropdown menu in the toolbar and the main menu button (firefox button), no longer work. This happened after i upgraded to firefox 8. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times while also deleting user preferences and stuff but that doesnt work. But everything seems to work in safe mode properly. So i disabled all my addons in the normal mode but it still doesn't solve the problem. My right-click doesnt work anywhere in the browser window either. And also, although the menus are not showing, it seems that they are still there because if i click in the area that a button would be in the function activates, this is how i was able to disable the addons.

    Perhaps, it's a multi-monitor setup issue. I noticed that the problem happens on my right monitor, but it doesn't happen on my left monitor! I have an nvidia card.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID stuck to iCloud when the email address no longer works and neither do the passwords or security questions?

    I know I shouldn't have, but I put in my new Apple ID before deleting the old one which was an email address that had shut down. Now the password, rescue address, security questions all don't work and I cannot access the old email address because it no longer works. I cannot delete the old ID from iCloud because I have to put in a password to shutdown find my iphone first. I am going around in circles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Got the answer--- called apple support--- very helpful--very quick

  • My sound buttons do not work and neither does my speaker also I do not have the volume button on the volume bar for iTunes or any videos

    I have tried all of the options on this site so far and others. My volume bar does not show up on any apps or videos not even when I double click and go to the left. The mute is not on. I have resented plenty of times. But if I turn off my iPad let it sit and plug my charger cord into it. When it turns on for a split second the speaker works making the charging noise but then quits and I'm going nuts trying to find out why it just stopped working!?!?!.!.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPad Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPad On...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Firefox no longer opens, and neither does Profile Manager

    So yesterday some website from a Google search (Kilauea photos search string) did something wacky, and now Firefox 4.0.1 will not start. Safe mode doesn't start. Profile Manager won't start either. Uninstalling Firefox, removing Firefox's folder from Program Files, running a registry cleaner to clean up Firefox leftovers, running a full MS Security Essentials scan which did find some nasty trojans, and then reinstalling Firefox only works for the initial session. A rerun of Security Essentials, and a run with IObit's Malware Fighter find nothing. Once I close and restart, same as in the beginning. Internet Explorer 8 and the 3.7a5pre Minefield version of Firefox seem to run normally other than Minefield fails to remember passwords even though it's checked. Any ideas on what to try?

    I tried Firefox 3.7. I tried Firefox 5 beta. Same thing kept happening. Searches for similar situations just wasn't turning up a viable solution. I may have finally figured it out though. What to do when in doubt? Start doing searches on the processes running in Task Manager. All antivirus programs I have installed have FAILED to recognize this executable as malicious. Look for an executable in your Task Manager that says hdmclean.exe. It will be under ~\users\***\appdata\local. It must be a variant (at least in name) of hddclean.exe. As soon as I terminated the process I was able to launch Firefox 5 beta. I went ahead and deleted the damn bastard, and then rebooted. Seems to have solved the problem as far as I can tell.

  • How can i block **** pop ups in my ipad- pop up blocker doesnt work and neither does restrictions in general settings- still getting them

    Hi there
    for some reason(I dont believe I have been in any dodgy sites) im getting **** pop ups when I am in safari
    I have tried blocking in my ipad pop up blocker- no success
    and also by setting age restrictions in general security- no success
    the sites are from 2 main sites
    www.xxxtv.mobi/indexnb.php?.pid=202298
    and
    fuckbookofsex.mobi/go/p439878-pmo-sbrop
    please help this is driving me crazy
    thanks

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser.

  • My internet works fine with my wired cable modem, but when i connect to my extreme base station and setup my wireless network the internet no longer works and my apple tv by default

    my cable modem works fine, but when I hook it up to my extreme base station and run through the prompts and set up my wireless network it doesnt work and neither does my apple tv by default. I am unsure how to correct this problem. It will come up saying that I dont have an IP address when I have it set to DCHP so I dont know what the problem is.

    Push the reset button on the modem and power the modem off
    Power off everything else....all devices....order is not important
    Wait 15-20 minutes or longer
    Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 5 minutes
    Power up each other device one at a time a few minutes apart
    Check the network

    I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

    There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

    My Ipad did work on my wireless at home and works on other wireless but no longer at home. My IPhone works at home and others can use the wireless> Confused that it did work and now does not?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

  • TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

    When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

    What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app.  It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
    If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.  
    I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID.  In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase.  If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.
