I tried to hard reset the system as mentioned on other blogs by removing the battery but to no avail.same situation prevails.Kindly come up with a solution to the problem. PS: yestetrday i had downloaded a song after which my antivirus showed THREAT detected. Plz help

Short DST Fail= the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.

    I grasp that your notebook was working OK a few days ago but now it will not boot up.  The power button lights up, the Bluetooth light is red and the Caps lock button shows blue light flashing on and off.  You do not have any air movement from the fan.

  • Laptop not starting up but rather blinking

    My laptop just blinking. Nothing responding. All happened suddenly. I unplugged AC power removed the battery and pressed the on bottom for 30 s and then on but the problem was the same. My windows was 10 upgraded while this problem happened hoped this problem would be terminated.
    I was trying to turn 3d max on when this problem started. I doubled click on the software icon and waited to start and this small circle started to turn but suddenly blinking started and icons disappeared. Since then, only blinking and I realised that the internet went off as well
    Need help please to sort this problem

    I suggest that you have someone who knows what they are really looking at open it up and give it an inspection. A more costly alternative would be to take it to a notebook shop and explain the problem.
    Take a look at the instructions on insidemylaptop.com for disassembling your notebook.

  • Why will Firefox not start on my windows laptop but it says it is open in background

    since last update, firefox will not start even after repeated attempts. It is apparently open as i cannot delete it from the laptop untill I restart laptop.
    I am running Windows 7 and i run Thunderbird successfully on my machine. I am forced to use IE to get onto the internet.

    Does Firefox not start in Safe Mode?
    * Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
    * In the search box, type firefox.exe -safe-mode and press Enter.
    * If the little Firefox Safe Mode window pops up, click the Start in Safe Mode button.
    * For more details, see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If Firefox doesn't start in Safe Mode, does the profile manager start? If yes, create a new profile and try starting Firefox in that profile.
    [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

  • My laptop will not start - it's telling me that "the logon user interface dll csgina.dll fail to loa

    My Laptop will not start - it's a 4 year PC and it's runing on XP.
    When I start I get this message" The Logon USer Interface DLL failed to load - Contact your administratoe to replace the DLL or restore the original".
    How do I fix so I can start my windows.
    Thanks,

    Hello -
    Try this:
    - When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
    - Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
    - Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
    (Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
    ***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
    - boot your system and tap away at F8
    - Select Safe Mode
    - After Windows loads into safe mode.
    - Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
    - Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    - Look for the GinaDLL Key
    - Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
    - Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

  • Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

    Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

    I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
    You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
    If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

    You could try a SMC reset:

  • Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

    Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
    This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
    Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
    Any clue?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Laptop L655-S5157 Does Not Start Up & Run.......

     My Laptop L655-S5157 Does Not Start Up & Run  Longer Than 1-3 Mins Upon Selecting The Start Button.
    After It Starts & Looks Like It's Going To Run Normal, It Just Turns Right OFF.
    I Can't Send Any Attachments Because The Only Way I Can Communicate Is Running The LT In The "SAFE MODE".
    I've Taken Pics Of It Running & Trying To Repair Itself On My iPhone. 
    I've Also Ran "Startup Repair" Program, But All It Says In The End, Is It Can't "Repair This Computer Automatically".
    It Then Says To Send The Problem Details To "Microsoft Solutions", I Comply & Send The Information To Them.
    I Know Enough About Laptops/Computers To Be DANGEROUS...
    I Really Dont Understand What To Do In The "Safe Mode", Except That It's Safe & Runs Only The Essentials.

    It Started NOT  Running In The Normal mode The Day That Chuck Noll Passed Legendary Football Coach Ot The Pittsburg Steelers On 14 Jun 2014.
    The Link I Clicked On Was From Twitter
    Ever Since Then, The Only Way I Can Communicate With The World Through My Computer Is In The Safe Mode.
