Nothing more or less than my previous post. Apparently you decided not to try the wiggling part?
It may be that the issue is not related to the switch, in which case the process explained isn't going to help anything.

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch, 4gb RAM and 256 gb SSD where the screen flickered abnormally and got dead all of a sudden while uploading a photograph in FB. Can anybody help?

I have a new MacBook Air 11 inch, 4gb RAM, 256 SSD and use Mavericks OS. It is still under waranty period.
Just few days ago while I was uploading a photograph in facebook, the screen started flickering abnoromally. I tried using the escape button but nothing was working so switched off by pressing the power button.
After few minutes I tried to switch it on but my system never waked up. Called up the Apple Support, did SMC and PRAM but nothing worked. Then I was advised to take it to Apple's authorised service centre.
At the service centre the engineers diagnoised and then said that the MLB/mother board needs to be replaced. Had waited for six-long days and today they had replaced the MLB/mother board. Now, the system came to life but nothing has booted. The screen goes white and a '?' question mark icon keeps on flickering.
After thoroughly diagnoising it the engineer said that now the problem is with the SSD and the worse thing is all my important documents and photographs etc are no more there. And I don't have a backup of the same!
While Apple Support contact centre is assuring they would replace any other parts if found faulty, but I feel differently. First, the MLB/mother board was changed now they say it is SSD problem - so if the SSD too is replaced there are possibilities of more faults coming up. All I can see and feel that this particular machine has turned out to be architectually deffective that calls for immediate replacement.
Right now I am using a friend's windows pc to write this mail.
Feeling completely miserable - all my expectatations gone after investing in such an expensive machine, loss of all my data, wastage of time and energy and to top it all affecting my daily work.
Can anybody please advise what shall I do?

Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

USB Dead All of a Sudden

Here is the issue:
Had two Epox boards before getting extremely upset of poor service and bought an MSI K7N2 motherboard. Worked fine until just the other night, when ALL USB ports quit working. Also, the onboard ehternet doesn't work. I'm getting pretty upset with the problems I've been having with any board I seem to buy.
Have tried CMOS settings to make sure everything is correct, and it is. Have reinstalled Windows XP Pro, and still does not take care of the problem. Have tried other USB devices, and still does not read ANY of them, though they still operate on other PC's. Have installed Service Pack 1, and still does not turn USB devices on. Ethernet lights will NOT light up. Computers are unrecognized on a network and doesn't recognize an onboard ethernet card.
Please help. I have dealt with tech support on the ECS and Epox website, and both were extremely horrible. If anyone has suggestions, I'm open to try just about anything right now.
Mike

I actually did nothing to the motherboard. I just rebooted and nothing worked. It was really strange because I was reinstalling Windows XP Pro (service pack 1 messed up...again) and when I rebooted the machine, absolutely no USB support. I've contacted tech support at MSI, and they are recommending me to go to the BIOS to make sure everything is set ok. There were no BIOS changes made though, unless the BIOS decided to change itself. One other person PM'd me and said to update the BIOS, since he was having problems and when he updated the BIOS, it worked fine. However, I'm sure that is not going to be the case since everything worked fine before that fatal reboot.
Also, for the reply posted earlier, the D-Bracket was removed and there are still problems with USB ports.

Drive Became Slow All Of A Sudden

I have an Intel iMac core 2 duo with 1 gig of ram. Attached to a USB port on the back of the computer is a Western Digital Mybook USB 2.0 USB hard drive (250 gig).
The drive has always performed as expected, but about a month ago the write speed to the drive dropped down to a very slow speed. Today it took over an hour to transfer 6 gigs from my main drive to the USB drive. It has not always been this way. Reading from the drive to another drive is still fast.
In the System Profiler it indicates that the drive is USB 2.0 (indicates speed that is 2.0).
I have no idea why writing to the drive has become so slow. My first thought was fragmentation, but in that case reading from the drive would be slow too (probably slower). Also, I took a look and fragmentation is not bad on the drive.
I went to the Western Digital website and did a search but nothing revelant came up.
Anyboy have an idea what might be causing this and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Tommy

New topic: Drive became dead all of a sudden.
The drive took a crap today and I think there was blood in the stool.
Fortunately I think it is the enclosure (usb controller probably although I am no expert in such matters). The drive spins up ok and sounds normal as it goes through it's pre-mount deal. Then it just sits. The machine under both OS X and windows knows something is connected but can go no further. For all that I know it might just be because a cable is in the port. Actually Disk Utility identifys the drive but can't even run a verification on it. No data is passing. Considering my previous problem I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is the enclosure and not the drive.
That said, does anybody know for certain if these MYBook drives are IDE or SATA? I am going to try other things first of course, but if exhausted I will be buying a new enclosure.
This might be a blessing in disguise as the enery saver "features" of the drive were always a source of frustration for me. I like energy saving devices, but the way this drive went about it was just headache after headache.
Thanks,
Tommy

HP Pavilion dv6 All 4 USB ports stopped working

Hello,
I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.
Could anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

I NEED OVER ALL HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR PAVILION DV6-3043TX

I NEED OVER ALL HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR PAVILION DV6-3043TX, DISPLAY : FLASHING, HDD : SMART ERROR 301, KEY BOARD : UNSERVISEABLE, USB PORT : DISCONNECTED CONTINUOUSLY, THERMAL SHUT DOWN : RAPIDLY SHUTDOWN DUE TO INCREASE IN TEMP AS I M PERIODICLY CLEANING VENTS AND USING COOL PAD RECOMENDED BY HP DEALER, CD/DVD DRIVE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SO I NEED SUPPORT FROM HP. MY EMAIL IS {Personal Information Removed}

The smart error is usually a fatal hard drive error and it probably needs to be replaced. Here is a quick scan of this forum for smart error 301:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&location=forum-board%3ALa...
I think the high heat situation and damaged your video chip at the very least and someone will have to open the laptop and reflow, reball or replace the video chip. If this machine is in warrantee, you need to call HP or contact them before it is out of warrantee.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6153ca Entertainment Notebook PC the youcam stop working all of the suddem.

Hello I currently have brand new HP Pavilion dv6-6153ca only 3 month old and the built in web cam stop working just like that.
I running window 7 after installing the HP assistant the webcam reference desapear from my device manager.
Can somebody please tell me how to get my camera back? how do i know if the physical part is broken?
somebody help me please.

id recommend backing up all of your data initally and doing a system restore an HP tech walked me through their
factory system restore option process from boot up, HP has a boot key function installed on the hp pavillion dv6
6153ca model(s) (all of their systems probably) calling the 1-800 support number is under warranty and free for
a system restore or at least it still could be, for me, it still was, the tech helped me out with initiallizing that process
which took approximately 15-20 min of his time to direct me on a factory restored install on my system on an unrelated
incident i had with windows 7 user locks and permissions i rendered inalterable or seemingly to me ,he helped me through
an HP factory restore and i was completed a few hours later with everything configured/installed/transfered if the
restore fails to reactivate the camera/or eliminate the conflict, you can remove the black plastic LCD screen cover
by unsnapping the plastic clip-based cover off around the perimeter of the screen and checking the white lead to the
top left of the camera or the power pin connection on the top right if theres a physical problem write down the camera
part # and you can order a replacement cam from HP or use the part number online at a search engine and procure/get the
part there either a tech or yourself could do the replacement from there

Hp pavilion dv6 disables all usb ports when put to sleep mode. hibernate will enable them again.

Im using an HP pavilion dv6 - 6b56el with Windows 7 Home Premium.
First install on 15-DEC-2011
When I put the PC to sleep it will disable all USB ports.
When I restart the box or put it to hibernate (and wake it again) the USB ports wil work again.
This happens when running on battery or connected to a power supply.
As far as I can see I checked all power settings that could possibly disable the USB ports.
I think the latest changes to the system made before this happens were automatic windows updates on 18-DEC-2011 and 19-DEC-2011.

Hi,
There are some computers on the market which have special USB port(s) stay awake during the computer in sleep mode. In your case, you can change this using Device Manager under power management tab (un-tick "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power").
Regards.

Pavilion dv6-3033sa unresponsive

Hi this is my first post on here so apologies if this is in the wrong section.
My problem is that my pavilion dv6-3033sa is basically unresponsive. Here is what happened. About a week ago I turned my hp off normally with the menu power off button and I waited for it to turn off (didn't force shutdown, all programs were closed), it closed down normally as far as I can tell. The next morning I switch it on and realise the splash and login screens are not showing. The screen is black. The caps lock flashes indefinitely and the wifi button is Amber/orange. The HDD light is also a solid Amber/orange. I have tried numerous hard resets to no avail. More research has shown me that an Amber hdd light indicates that media smart is enabled, protecting my hard drive from a fall.
I have dropped my laptop before but this was at least a month ago and nothing bad happened. I have dropped it quite a few times but why only now is it doing this? About 4 months ago I turned my laptop on and out of the blue it froze, something which had never happened before. I few more tries and it worked. It was fine from then until now. Please help.

@Matthp26
Ok, if there has been no sign of life yet, there are a couple of options for you to try. As I mentioned last time, if the notebook has been dropped a few times it is possible that something is loose.
If you like you can take a look at this: HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
Using that document you can carefully check your notebook for loose connections. But read the instructions and warnings carefully to avoid causing more damage, including static charge related damage.
Also you can look at this.

If it still does not respond, and there is data on your hard drive that you need, you should try this:

Problem With Pavilion DV6 3052nr Recovery Manager!!!!!!!!

1. HP Pavilion DV6 3052nr
2.Windows Seven HomePre OA x64
3. On Recovery Manager : I Deleted all of my parttions on my hard disk. then when I used recovery disks to restore it to its factory set , after extracting the image files on disks to the hard drive , system restarted and boot to the Recovery manager with " Restore Incomplete " error. Just help me,pleaseeeeeeee

Hi:
You may have to purchase a set of HP recovery disks or if you can read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook (DON'T POST IT), you can do this...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Hdmi video and audio for hp pavilion dv6 1050us does not work

I'm trying to use my hp pavilion dv6 1050us notebook with a TV Philips model 40PFL8605D using a HDMI cable but nothing function: can't get the image displayed at computer on the TV display. The HDMI cable and the same TV were tested using a ASUS notebook and everything worked all rigth: video and sound. Then I concluded that the only possible source of problem is my HP pavilion dv6 1050us notebook.
Can I get some help?

Hi (:
I frequently play The Sims 3, I have all, but myabe 3, extensions. And I have a Pavilion dv6-6c15nr Entertainment PC. Now I was wondering, is this a bad idea? Occassionally, my games will freeze and even just completely glitch within the game, sometimes unallowing me to save. It's very frustrating, especially when you get so far. My question is would it be better to just get a gaming pc and leave this one to surfing the web and doing school work? Or is this one good, and can I download or buy something to help my computer maintain or improve its performance?

HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Notebook - Internal Hard Drive Options

Greetings,
I just purchased an HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (at Costco), and so far it's been a great deal. Everything seems to be working just fine.
Because I do a lot of development work in Virtual Images, I have been running a number of external Hard Drivers from the notebook over the couple of weeks since I've owned it (including an external SSD). All that seems to work fine.
But, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to install a second Hard Drive or SSD in this Notebook Model. I saw on the HP site that some Notebooks allow the installation of a second Hard Drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest it can handle such a configuration.
My primary objective for doing this would be to retain the original 1TB Hard Drive that came with the Notebook, but have a secondary SSD Drive to perhaps run the Paging activity from, when such functionality is needed upon running some of my larger Virtual Images.
Any assistance with clarifying if this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne
