Mystery port or thing on back of Touchsmart 310-1020?

Okay, this is probably a dumb question, but what is the port or thing on the back of my Touchsmart 310-1020, located just above the Ethernet port? It is not shown in any of the documentation. It looks like a black plastic screw, but it has a logo next to it with a couple of arrows and what appear to be three discs (like CDs). Is this a port or just an access screw?

Sounds like it might be the screw that lets you access the hard-drive that's inside the computer. As far as I've seen on various electronic equipment, screws that have arrows pointing to them usually indicate that by loosening those screws, you can get access to user-serviceable parts inside the enclosure.
This manual describes how to get to the hard drive: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02525253.pdf and it includes pictures of a screw located above the ethernet port.

Use laptop as second monitor for hp touchsmart 310-1020

Product name: HP TouchSmart 310-1020 PC.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Can I use my laptop as a second monitor for my HP? It doesn't have an hdmi port, so is there any software or converters someone suggests?

Sorry to say, but it won't be possible - any video ports on your notebook will be output only.
Actually that's not what the OP asked, and it's incorrect since you're not answering the question he asked. There are software packages out there that will let the OP do what they want between multiple PCs. Multiplicity by Stardock is a quick example http://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/ and it's only $30

TouchSmart 310 1020 touchscreen issues

My TouchSmart 310 1020 has touchscreen issues. Only part of the screen will work, the rest of the screen doesn't recognize touch commands. Specifically, the only part of the screen that will work for touch is the bottom left quarter, the rest of the screen doesn't work. I tried to clean it, I also ran the calibration utility to no avail. With the calibration utility, when the target would move out of the useable area I was unable to touch the targets. I also reset the calibration settings to no avail.
Do touchscreens partially stop working? Should I replace the screen or is there a simpler solition?

I have an HP TouchSmart 320-1030 that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have had similar issues at various times.
1. Believe it or not, some of the calibration issues I experienced in the past were actually caused by Microsoft's calibration tool! Undoing the calibration helped. To do that:
Move the mouse pointer to the lower left corner of the screen, right-click, and select Control Panel from the menu.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Click Tablet PC Settings.
On the Display tab of Tablet PC Settings, click Reset (if the Reset button is grayed-out, that means there is no data to undo.)
When prompted, click Yes to allow Microsoft's Digitizer Calibration Tool to make changes to your computer.
2. To get my touch screen to work after upgrading to Windows 8, I had to disable my graphics card.
You will find the instructions on how to do that in this HP support document (the fourth set of instructions under Touch screen doesn't work after upgrading to Windows 8):

Touchsmart 310-1020 screen flicker

My computer screen is flickering. I can see whats on it and everything works but it just looks like a strobe light is on my screen. I've tried updating/reinstalling drivers. Also the only option for refresh rate is 60 htz, so I can't change it. Any help would be great.

IwannaPunchMyPC,
With that being said it is a hardware issue, especially if it’s flickering on the setup screen. It could possibly be the screen or perhaps the inverter.
Do you know if you still covered under warranty? If you are not sure have a look at this link to confirm.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Using "Pages" as my word processor I can not print a Standard page. Trying to print several copies of a single page gives me every thing parented back to back. What do I do to fix this?

You have Duplexing turned on. Turn it off.
This is to do with your Printer Driver and has nothing to do with Pages.

Using time capsule model A1409 and trying to use it as only backup. Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule. And also it is asking for password. Have tried all of mine and it will not work.

Want to us my time capsule model A1409 as only backup. 2 TB hard drive.
Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not want to use Time capsule as router, only back up for iMac.
Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule to Ethernet port back of my iMac.
And also it is asking for password for the server John Garland's Time Capsule so Time machine can access it..
Have tried all of passwords can think of and none work.
Held the reset button for one second on back of capsule and do not see if anything happened.
What a conundrum.
Appreciate any help to get this working.
Thanks,
John R

I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
Mine is wiredup thus;
Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one), then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

Remote jconsole JMX using mystery port

I am trying to use jconsole to monitor a JVM running on a remote machine. I am doing this over ssh. So I told the remote JVM to start with
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8010
also I happen to have set
-Djava.rmi.server.hostlame=localhost
but I don't think that is relevant
Then I forwarded the port 8010 to the remote machine and connect with
jconsole localhost:8010
But that did not work. So I go to linux box and type
netstat -atnp | grep java
which reveals that Java is listening also on port 32796
I start and stop my process a few time to see that this is a randomly chosen port. I then use ssh to forward this port and voila, jconsole is now working across ssh.
Anyone have any idea what this mystery port is and any way to set it on the command line of the monitored JVM?

Have a look at the following link:
Monitoring Applications through a Firewall in the Java SE Monitoring and Management Guide.

How do I download the solution center to my HP Touchsmart 310 pc

I have a HP Touchsmart 310 PC with the Windows 7 operating system. Back in January I started having trouble logging in on my page. I was the only admin on the pc, so I could not access certain information or make any changes to the computer. I finally erased everything in the computer memory and started over from scratch. I have an HP Photosmart printer that I use, but when I re-installed the software, it did not include the hp solution center, so I can't scan any documents or photos to my pc. I need help!

Hi,
Please let us know what is your printer, hope we can help.

Don't know power on password for hp touchsmart 520-1020 windows 7 64 bit

My touchsmart 520-1020 was powered off and when it came back on it was asking for a power on password. Can anyone help me with this? Please? when i enter a random password three times it doesn't give me a code. it shows a key each time i press enter after entering a password and after the third time it has an asterik. and then no more options. the date is shown at the bottom right hand corner.

Hello cmeryers76:
Your password should be the same one you use to log into windows. Why you are seeing a date is be yound me. This seems more like a bad virus or malware. If your sign in password still fails. Unplug the computer while this screen is still being displayed. This is what we call fource restart. Ounce the computer is completely off plug it back in and turn on your computer you should start up in safe mode screen option use arrow keys select safe mode with net working. Close out help and support window. Locate the the recovery manger and Click yes in prompt window if displays then select Microsoft System Restore in next two screens click on next You well eventually end up with dates listed choose a date before this event occurred then click next follow all command promts. Ounce recovery point has been completed run your antivirus software. Then do a PC Tune Up. Go to your control pannel and open up Performance Information and Tools select Adjust power settings on the right hand side. Then select Choose when to off the display. Next window switch all boxes to never. You will never have to worry about this ever again. On top of that the issues you face trying to wake up the computer from sleep mode.
If the same screen displays on start up by a chance then unplug the computer hold down power button for five secounds then plug it back in turn on computer tap f-8 key follow above recovery steps. If this fails to open in safe mode. Then full recovery is only option requires recover discs. Power off the computer turn it on and tap f-10 key and insert disc one of recovery disc follow all command prompts. Ouce fullrecover is completed follow the above dirrections for the display settings above switch all thee settings to never. frrw

HP Touchsmart 310-1125Y - Missing USB Receiver, how can you get a replacement?

I purchased an HP Touchsmart 310-1125Y all-in-one computer and the USB Receiver is missing. Does HP sell replacement receivers? I tried searching but just found the part number of the mouse. The mouse's part number is 603289-001 and the keyboard is KG-0981.
The mouse/keyboard are fine, just no USB receiver. Anyone have any luck with "generic" receivers if such a thing exist?

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 310-1125y Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model was introduced for sale around two years ago. The specs also indicate that the USB mouse/keyboard wireless set use a 2.4GHz frequency. Have you checked on the bottom of the mouse??? Many mice have a little "pocket" to store the USB dongle. If the USB dongle is truly missing, HP's Part Surfer lists the mouse as "Part# 588485-001 - HP Mouse - Wireless, Optical (includes USB Receiver & Mouse)".
Please send KUDOs

No Video on Touchsmart 310-1205la

I have no video on this Touchsmart 310-1205la. It turns on and blue light on switch remains constant with no flashes. I changed the Procesor and Memory and still no video. I flashed the Bios on the board by placing the Jumper on 7 and 8 then back to 1 and 2 and still no video. In the past any of these would have restored the video so what else could it be wrong with this video on this PC.

Hi LightningMike,
I understand you have no video on your Touchsmart 310-1205la. Can you play a DVD movie? Is it a link to a video that is not playing? Can you see YouTube videos? Here is a document on resolving DVD and Blu-ray movie problems.
