Hi,
One thing that can sometimes help is the following. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'. Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button. Click the Enhancements tab ( if it's available ) and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

My brand new hp pavilion dv7 has no sound-seemed as if it did first day

new pavilion dv7-6c20us had a normal windows default beep 1st day-never tried anything with sound til last nite-tried to watch video for 1st time and no sound-did system restore still no sound. IT person at my job looked it over too and is lost as well. Windows 7 . I haven't used laptop at all except for dragging pictures from external hard drive onto it. I can play a movie with sound on tv with HDMI cable, and in sounds looks like its working but isn't audible. I can hear a click when I hit mute with headphones on.

If speakers are set as default and still no sound go to Device Manager and uninstall the IDT Audio device,choosing to also delete the driver. Retart the laptop and install the latest IDT driver from your models driver page. You may want to download and save it first in your Download folder.

Pavilion DV7 has power, black screen

I came home from a trip. When I went to start up my Pavilion DV7 it had power, but the screen is black. I tried the hard reset, and I also removed the back panels and sprayed with canned air. Still nothing. Lights near caps lock and num lock keys are blinking. I checked the code and it indicates a problem with the CPU.
Now what the heck do I do?

The following document contains the information of what the blink code means. I take it it is blinking once every 2-3 seconds since you said it correlates to the CPU. The only solution in the document is to contact HP for service.
However, the processor POST code could be triggered by a failed processor or a failed processor socket on the motherboard itself. It can't be identified if it is really the processor or the motherboard without proper testing equipment. You could contact a local PC shop for them to identify the correct component or replace either the processor or the motherboard in hopes it was the right part the first time.

Photo library shows more photos than it really has

My photo library has 41 photos, however when checking "Usage" it shows I have 10.4Gb. Why?
The complete Photo & Camera shows:
1. Photo Library = 10.4 Gb
2. My Photo Stream = 20.1 Mb
3. Shared Photo Stream = 821 Mb
when checking via iTunes, it shows I have 3801 photos, where are they? I know they are not the in recently deleted album.
Any ideas?

If you're still seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos on your device and storage space used, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.

Does anyone know of a simple home accounting application? iBank does not seem to be that user friendly and has more features than I need. I would like something that will connect to my bank and will allow the creation of a budget that is simple.

I am looking for a very simple home accounting application. iBank seems to not be very intuitive and it has more features than I need. I am looking for the ability to create a budget and keep a bank register with the ability to connect to my bank and do updates.

I have a small business, I chose Quickbooks because anything else cost much more. That triggered the hiring of a bookkeeper who knew how to use it. It was not the cheapest choice after all.

Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop. I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys. I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part. I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys. Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards? This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price. Also, need a new AC Adapter charger. I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w. Is this accurate? I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct. I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit. Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate. Thanks.

Hi:
My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.

Time machine need more space than necessary.

Hi.
Can anyone help. I have a two 1TB external hard drives one backs the other up. Until now it has been fine but suddenly time machine has decided theres not enough room even though there the same size drives. Ive deleted the backup drive and the time machine preferences but it still wont work. I have one drive with 930GB on and time machine says it needs 1.1TB of space. Why dose it need an extra 170GB. Help?
Thanks

Since Time Machine keeps copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.
The extra 170 GB is for "padding" -- workspace on the backup volume, and in case the original estimate isn't accurate, or more files are changed or added while the backup is running.
#1 in the link Carolyn supplied explains this a bit more, and recomends that your backup drive be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up.

Beats audio no longer shows a display when i turn volume up and down pavilion dv7 win7

Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall HP Quick Launch Buttons - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7
Recovery Manager - Windows Vista
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

My Pavilion dv7-6175 only has 1.5GB free in my Recovery (D) drive. How can I get it clear and freed?

After Microsoft connected me with their tech assistant who did a remote assisted check on something, he told me I had corrupted files and that for $299 he could fix it. I don't know what he did, but I didn't go along with that and did a recovery to put my laptop where it was before the call. My laptop was 3 days old and I doubt it came "corrupted" from Office Max or HP. Consequently, I only have 1.5 GB free of 14.3. How can I get back the GB lost in case I ever need it again? If I click on it, a HP icon comes up and it says "do not delete or alter any of these files." I have the Pavilion dv7 6175, Windows 7 64 bit,
Intel cor i5 laptop.

You won't need the 1.5GB space on the resovery partition. Almost full is a norm with the recover partition. It is a partition that you must not save anything to as it serves only one purpose. Save to the Data or C: drive or an external disk.If you save to the partition then you will lose the F11 keystoke allowing you to access the Recovery Manager on powerup in case of an emergency.
My loaner HP dv7-4180ea has a recovery partition of 21.5GB and has 3.15 GB free.
The one thing you do need to make sure of is that backups are not saved to that partition.
Have you created Recovery media? It is wise to do that.

Hello binbingogoABC,

HP Pavilion dv7-1000ea - Never full volume/No Bass

Hello, after lashing out over 800 pounds of hard earned student loan money on my HP Pavilion dv7-1000ea I have come across some faults in this expensive yet unreliable laptop.
Sound problem is as follows:
Non functional subwoofer after 3 months of purchase - this includes any kind of sound between 31Hz and 250Hz (bass) is not coming out of my speakers, I tested this with equalizers. Basically the whole of the left side of the equalizer spectrum is not working. This means my laptop speakers are only producing limited sound hence very low volume at 100% compared to fully functional performance on the day of purchase.
First email to HP support = re-install drivers
Second email to HP support = re-install more drivers
Third email to HP support = ignored
Fourth email to HP support = ignored
P.S. -
Other emails that were ignored included dust gathering behind the screen cover of my expensive laptop... dust guys.. £850 and I have dust inside my screen, this isn't a £300 Toshiba... actually it's unfair on the Toshiba they make excellent laptops, never saw dust inside their screens.

HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when setting volume

Hi
I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez, and when I change volume using the volume touch-slider on top of the keyboard, volume is adjusted accordingly but no volume indicator appears on the screen.
Previously, while setting volume, a speaker icon with a slider popped out in the middle of the screen showing current volume level.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and both Windows Update and HP update shows that I have latest version of software. Also, I've the latest version of the BIOS installed.
As a side note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and wireless enable, etc.) stopped working a few days after the volume indicator disappeared, I fixed that by plugging off power and disconnectiong battery for a while. Still, the indicator is yet not showing. Not sure if this is related (I guess not).
Thanks

The Volume OSD is a function HP MediaSmart Menu. It will need to load on start up. To do that, go to msconfig, and make sure it is checked under the Startup Tab....
If it is not there, you can download it from here...ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48552.exe

Help needed from someone far more clever than me.

I'm trying to update the software on my e71 using Nokia software updater.
Everything seemed to be running smoothly. My software was being updated from 100.something to 110.something.
Then, as it was finishing my computer screen kept flashing up the message...
"A new USB device has been detected...
Nokia USB ROM
And then it asks me whether I want to connect the device to my Mac or the Virtual machine (I'm doing this via parallels on my mac).
This message flashes on and off intermittently, and it doesn't matter whether you click the 'virtual machine button'.
The download bar sticks and the information given is that it will downoad in 15 mins.
I have tried rebooting the computer, the phone. Nothing is working. It's very frustrating. Most frustrating of all, as the programme is still running it won't let me quit so I have to force quit the whole machine.
Any help gratefully received.
Thankyou.

Hey Rabi, we're you suggesting that the phone should be in offline mode whilst doing an upgrade? Why is that?
If he did, he's incorrect. Instructions say specifically that the phone must be in "General" profile.
As for N96 firmware updates, they're more often than not going to be by FOTA, which removes the need for a computer altogether. When I updated from 10.065 to 11.018, I did so by FOTA, but 11.018 to 11.101 was using NSU (and it failed first time round, too). Had I waited, I could have done that update by FOTA as well.

Pavilion Dv7 7023; some serious issues. Help needed.

Hello. My Pavilion Dv7 7023cl has been going downhill for the past few months, but I've been planning on purchasing a new hard drive for it, since my current one is failing. However, I'll get to the point. For some reason, and some how, the battery is locked into place, with the slider pushed all the way right. There is an orange picture of a square with an arrow to the extreme left. I need help fixing this since I need to clean the fan vents, as the computer is reaching 82 degrees Celsius... The second issue is that the internet key is showing an orange light. I've tried resetting the BIOS settings, rebooting, and pressing every single key on my keyboard. Still no luck. The third is that it's overheating often, regardless of if the vents are clean or not. It may possibly be the fan, but... Unfortunately, the computer is not under warranty anymore. Here are the specifications:The processor is an AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon HD graphics. It claims to be 1.9 Ghz, but it always run at 3.0. It's not overclocked.I have 8GBs of R.A.M. with only 2GBs left. Don't ask me how.It scores a 5.9 on the Windows Performance Index, based on the 5.9 rating of my Disk Data Transfer Rate.4 cores, 4 logical processors.
