Lenovo G550: screeching sound from inside the laptop

Hi,
Since recently, my G550 started producing a loud screeching noise. It happens occasionally, and the sound is like a loud squeak. The laptop was collected from me and sent to the local service centre, but after having it back I can still hear the same loud noise. Has anyone come accross this before? Service centre people suggested it could be the fan problem, but found nothing and assured me it should work fine, but it doesn't.. Please help me with advice, do you think it is something to do with a harddrive and can it lead to something more serious in terms of the functionality???
Thanks in advance.

Hi @tylerj13 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that while using your notebook you are hearing a popping sound that is not from the internal speaker but coming from the upper right side where the hard drive is located. You read another post with this issue and it was the hard drive.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8) to assist you with testing the hard drive and hardware.
You can also check the manufacturer's site of the hard drive for their diagnostics tools for more extensive testing of the drive.
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with updates and resolving difficulties?
Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
Good Luck!

Equium M70: strange screeching sound from speakers

I have an Equium M70 and within the last 2 days have been getting strange screeching sounds from the speakers when using Windows.
Cd's/DVD's seem to run as normal but when I open up I get a piercing high pitched sound for about a minute, if I then click on a link or shorcut I get a double short screech.
I've tried running the system diagnostic test but when it gets to the wav sound check the screech becomes almost unbearable and the whole thing just hangs there util I terminate the test.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I know that I ran into this problem not that long ago. The resolution was to reinstall windows and the sound was fixed. But that was just my case and yours could be a more severe case. Try plugging in headsets and seeing if that fixes the problem. I think that somehow the problem I had was with windows sound files. It played all audio files just fine, except any windows generated wave files, at which point it screeched etc. Recovered with the CD's and it works fine now. Try to use the recovery CD's, if that does not help I suggest taking it to your ASP and have them check it out. Have a nice day.

Hp touchsmart 15 Q: where does the 7th brown wire go inside the laptop?

My friend has an HP Touchsmart 15-R laptop that doesn't want to accept the ac power supply line in jack. With a flashlight and a micro dental hook tool, i poked around inside the potr in and notice that i do not see the traditional circle and center pin configured jack port like ALL other windows 7 laptops iv'e come accross.
After watching a youtube video that shows an identical laptop being taken apart and then put back together,i noticed that this laptops pin out/power plug has a completely different configuration! There are 7 wires going inside the laptop from the port plug.I can identify 6 of them (2white: LED light/ 2 red: dc v+/ 2 black:dc v-) the 7th is a single brown wire, Its situated between the red and black wires on the back side of the female power port plug and as i mentioned, when looking inside the port where the power supply jack connects,the configuration is different (see pictute)Where does the brown 7th wire go?

Hi,
Open Intel Rapid Storage from the Control Panel and it will show it there. The Intel Rapid Storage Control Panel will show the 8GB mSSD under the acceleration tab. The computer actually combines the 8GB mSSD and the main hard drive into a RAID-0 array so it all appears as a single drive.

Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page ?

As you know, I am using Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 for my current portal project. I have created JSR-168 JSF Portlet Project for my portlet development.
As I have some html pages ready for my development,
Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page for my project?
I did the followings steps:
1: In side the project - File -> Add Existing Item -> Web Page ( imported test.html page from my local folder)
2: Let it convert some of the tags for me ( so now it becomes - �test.jsp� )
3: Set it to initial view.
4. A default portlet page � newPortletPage.jsp is still there with no initial view.
Now after doing this, No Visual Designer and Properties window available to for that �test.jsp� page. Though it allowed me to �build� the project successfully.
When I build and run the portlet application, got the error message �Error occurred in portlet!� on Pluto Portal. Please advice.

You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Targeting the EdgeID object from inside the animation

I've been working on an animation that displays content pulled in from json files. The height of the content pulled in is determined and then the Stage height is adjusted to fit the total content. This works well by itself. See http://www.jomariworks.com/edge-json (Only west coast links are live. Project files http://www.jomariworks.com/edge-json/edge-json.zip)
Now I'm embedding the animation in a page using the oam insert feature, which creates an object with a fixed size. When the animation adjusts the stage height, the object window size does not change. When the content is longer than the object window, the content scrolls.
Is there a way I can target the height of the object (id is EdgeID) during the execution of the animation?
The live version of this can be viewed at http://reconnectingamerica.org/spacerace/index.php. The project files at http://www.jomariworks.com/edge-json/edge-json.zip are the same as far as functionality goes.
Thanks in advance for any help.

After being unable to discover how to target the height of the object containing the embedded edge animation, I have gone back to having the entire page part of the animation file.
The final web page is online at http://reconnectingamerica.org/spacerace
There are big disadvantages of this:
The full web page has more than 7000 lines of HTML. Making changes in Edge Animate is a VERY slow process.
Edge Animate corrupts the HTML in the file. This file contains complex TABLEs. After making changes in Edge Animate and saving those changes, the TABLE headers are all corrupted (e.g. closing THEAD tags are moved above the head content and several closing TR tags are relocated. For the record, I checked.and the original HTML is syntactically valid.). To deal with this I removed the tables when editing in Edge Animate and after making changes and publishing the Edge Animate version of the HTML I restored the tables.
Working separately on the animation and then embedding is clearly the better workflow in this situation. Unfortunately, I needed to be able to resize the embedded animation's object container in the same way I was able to adjust the Stage from inside the animation. Not being a jQuery wizard I couldn't figure out how to target the height of the animation's parent container. Still interested in finding out how to do that if anyone can help.

VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

I have the 4th generation iPod touch and my friend changed the iPod passcode and she cant remember it. Im on the iPod, Im not locked out. Im wondering if there is a way to change the passcode from inside the ipod settings or something?

My friend cant remember the password. Can I change it from inside the iPod settings or something?

Your friend could only have changed it if they had your original passcode - you have to be able to enter the current passcode to change it to a new one. Once you restore it now, I would then change it and NOT give it out to people.
P.S. if you have a backup from when it still had your passcode on it, just restore from that backup and it should set the passcode back to what you had.
Without that backup, you will have to restore as new, and set everything up again from scratch.

How to retrieve data from inside the folders in SharePoint SSRS

Hi ,
How to get the data from inside the folders and subfolders.
How can I do that.

Hi Vinodaggarwal87,
According to your description, you want to retrieve data from sharepoint list in a sub folder. Right?
In this scenario, we should select the XML data source type and in the connection string provide the
List.asmx service URL when creating data source. Then we need to use the List web Service and specify "recursive" for ViewAttribute in Lists.asmx. For detail steps, please refer to the links below:
Generate SSRS report on SharePoint List with folders using List Service.
SSRS: how to specify ViewAttributes when creating a report against a SharePoint's list
If you want to set the ViewAttribute on CAML query level. You need add the view tag outside of query tag:
<View Scope="RecursiveAll">
    <Query>
        <Where>...</Where>
    </Query>
</View>
Reference:
View Element (List)
ViewAttributes Recursive Scope not working SharePoint 2013 CAML Query to fetch all files from document library recursively
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to copy/access a string from inside the driver

is there any equivalent to strncpy() to use inside
the driver for copying user sent data to local buffer .
i used I_STRioctl and assigned struct to strioctl.ic_dp
as shown below..
char * buf;
struct user-data
int minor;
char* data;
struct user_data u_data;
buf="hello world"
u_data.minor=0;
u_data.data=buf;
strioctl.ic_dp=&u_data;
strioctl.ic_len=sizeof(struct user_data);
ioctl(fd,I_STR,&strioctl);
when i tried to copy/access the string sent by the user application from inside the driver, machine gets into
booting ...
here what i did was
in wput routine
struct user_data *u_data;
u_data =(struct user_data*)mp->b_cont->b_rptr;
cmn_err(CE_NOTE,"minor= %d",u_data->minor);
till here working well..
where as..
cmn_err(CE_NOTE,"data= %s",u_data->data);
causing panic to the system...booting happens.
please help me out ..
thank u all
ss vasu

looks like the data pointed to by 'data' is not copied from user space to kernel space.
u_data.data=buf, just makes pointer assignment, does not copy data pointed to by buf.
two solutions:
1. Declare data as a array(char data[10] or something
2. Copy buf after the structure and point data to it. strioctl.ic_len should be set to sizeof(struct) +
data size.

Editing track order FROM INSIDE the iPhone

Is it possible to edit the tags on the tracks from inside the actual phone? I don't have access to iTunes right now, and an album I'm listening to is horribly out of order. Is there any way to get it to play in the proper order by just using the resources on the actual phone?

The only way I know of is to use the on the go playlist feature (covered on page 66 of the manual):

No sound from HP G62 laptop and can no longer get sound from speakers or headphone jack . USB sworks

have an HP G62 laptop. I can no longer receive sound from speakers or from headphone jack. If I plug speakers into usb - I will get sound. Any ideas?

I don't think I have anything to offer that you haven't done. In Device Manager, Device status says "working properly" and you've reinstalled this driver.

The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.

Screeching sound from Mac Mini

hello,
ok for a while know there has been a screeching sound emitted from my mac mini. Its like a high pitched squeak, the only way I can describe it is that its like something metal not oiled.
Getting worried about it as I dont know if its a warning of something to go wrong. Fan/harddrive failure?. My warranty is up in 30 days or less.
I've recorded the sound on Amadeus Pro and amplified it a bit. (noise cancelling microphone cut it out)
Wanted to be able to post it on the net somehow and have a link here, but I can mail it to anyone.
Any help apreciated.
David

I was so much thinking about when the noise starts, as to whether you hear any change in it if the noise is already happening and the fan changes speed. I would normally expect a 'screeching' type noise to be fan related, and thus that is would change in pitch or intensity - or even stop or start - if the fan changes speed.
It should be covered by warranty unless you've done anything to your mini to void the warranty of course. Whether fan or hard drive, a noise of that sort is indicative of a fault, potentially impending failure, and both components are covered.
It is certainly likely to get worse over time if not resolved - a bearing making this sort of noise is running dry, off center or damaged, and in any of those instances it increases the risk of failure and will bring the onset of that failure nearer.
Also would somebody be able to identify what it is from listening to it.
In many instances yes, but it isn't certain to be possible, nor is it as good a method of diagnosis as having the actual system. In addition, given the impending end of your warranty period, it wouldn't seem a good idea to delay getting the unit to a service center. The sooner they get it, the sooner you get it back!
