No audio, after factory reset,flash install,SoundMax & HDA audio drivers won't install

My problems are:
No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself
SoundMax won't install either though I downloaded HDA audio drivers it requested.
Flash download stuffed up my SoundMax after factory reset.
I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starting slowing down. After reset it (Youtube) kind of worked better
then the audio disappeared from the laptop. The drivers, SoundMax Audio was gone (greyed out).
I downloaded the Audio driver from Lenovo website for my X31 but SoundMax install wouldn't install because it kept saying HDA Audio drivers weren't installed.
I downloaded it from here:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072373
So I went to HP site to download HDA audio drivers, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I had sound on my computer.
HDA Audio drivers link at HP website (since Lenovo doesn't have it):
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?cc=US&lang=en&swItem...
When I downloaded latest Adobe Flash, the SoundMax Audio disappeared again. So at the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox keeps telling me to download Flash?)
No sound on IE as well.
Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
I'm using:
ThinkPad X31 (2673-QU6)
Based on 2673-N7G
Win XP Pro Service 3 with recent updates
Firefox (latest) with add-ons
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to install the modem driver too.

Time capsule setting up problem after factory reset

What's the next step after factory reset to set up my time capsule again???
i did factory reset for 4-5 times and i cant use my time capsule to create a network, join an existing network or anything else.
i also tried normal reset but still nothing can be done.
There is always a message at the end " an unexpected error occured. Try again"

Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet..
Make sure the computer has no other network running and nothing else is plugged into the TC.. just TC Lan port to the computer ethernet.
Now press reset and open airport utility.
Generally you will have no issue once it is isolated. Do the setup and then you can disconnect and put it back in the network.
If it doesn't work, is the LED on the TC flashing amber or what??
Is the ethernet port connectivity LED on?

Data recovery after factory reset

I have seen people write that data recovery was possible after factory reset below the jelly bean OS versions on android but iphone is impossible.
So I wonder what is security technology for data protection on iphone.
Let me know security technology. (data encryption, data fromat algorithm, whatever about data protection)

Follou-up..... reading other questions/answers on this forum seem to indicate I'll have to "cherry pick" specific saved data items from the desktop "Shortcut to System Recovery Files" --- a long process. Is there a quicker way???

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
The following happens.
1. Speaker light lit (Green)
2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
4. The whole thing loops again and again...
I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
Please help.

How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

Will a factory reset require reactivation of phone service with the carrier

Hi, SBtaylor.
The iPhone will require the previously used SIM or a valid activated SIM after factory resetting the device.

Recovering data after factory reset (security issue)

Hello there,
Recently a friend of mine asked me how to erase all data on an iPhone ? I pointed to him to "factory reset".
Now, I see a bunch of websites that show how to recover data after factory reset using their software, not sure if they work as advertised or not.
What I would like to know is if the user wants the data to be erased and non-recoverable, is this the best option or if there is any other option available in iPhone that can make the data un-recoverable. We want to make sure the data is un-recoverable after factory reset.
thanks
Ashish Shah

unfortunately this doesn't answer my question.
I do know the option to "erase all content and settings" in iPhone.
What I want to know is to make sure once done, no one can recover that data back. Since this phone will be sold off to some stranger, we don't want them to have access to the data.
Here are a few websites from my just preliminary search results that show how to recover data.
just google "extracting data after factory reset iPhone" and you will see a bunch of websites offering their products to recover. So I want to check if this is so simple, how can we really make sure the data is wiped off clean.

After Factory Reset - the dreaded 3F0 message "please install an operating system".

I have seen numerous threads on the 3F0 message relating to missing HDD/OSes but none seem to match mine.
I have an (albeit old) HP Envy 13-1050EA, I decided to completely refresh it and go back to factory reset state.
The reset completes succesfully, the machine then starts it's setting up the OS (Windows 7 HP). It reboots a couple of times as expected then suddenly throws the 3F0 message Just after its finished installing drivers.
I have performed the usual HDD tests - the disk is there, all present and correct. In fact I have tried it with various HDD and get the same results:
I can install an OS from OEM (windows 7 and windows 8) without a problem, but ONLY with the recovery disks do I get the 3F0. But I would like a factory reset with the original Image that I paid for originally - not just the OS (The Linux front etc)
How do I get the the machine to recognise it has been installing the OS for the past 20 minutes, is HP's recovery faulty in some way?
I have two of these machines - identical spec - if I cloned the drive of the working model is it easy enough to change the Windows 7 License Key - are there any other keys that I'd need to be aware of?
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

HP Envy 13-1050EA, 5GB, 250GB HDD - Win 7 64 Home Premium - Bios version F.12

Welcome Blue.
You can clone the drive and change the product key.
You must make sure that they both have the same version of Windows COA's.
After you have the cloned drive booted go to START then COMPUTER then SYSTEM PROPERTIES.
At the bottom of SYSTEM PROPERTIES you will see CHANGE PRODUCT KEY.
Click on it and put the product key in that is on the bottom of that laptop.

Windows 8.1 update not shown after factory reset

I had the windows 8.1 update shown on my app store but due to some problems i factory reset the laptop. when i opened it after the restore i was unable to find the update on my store. Rather it shows 96 apps to be updated

Hi,
If you want to install Windows 8.1 Update 1, there are two requirements:
•Windows 8.1 is a prerequisite (vs Windows 8 RTM)
•KB2919442 is a pre-requisite update - released in March 2014 – you'll need this before 2919355 will be recognized

Problems with a new IP phone 7906 after factory reset

Hi Guys
I am currently having problems with my new IP phone 7906 after doing factory reset and here is a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCLtwIAwVw
I used this command I found on the net:
Hold down
while plugging in the phone and keep holding it until the message waiting indicator (red light) starts blinking. Then
release # and type 123456789*0# in sequence.
I was trying to switch my phone to sip and it also dont want to take tftp setup either.

Tim,
Found this on the net
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62949.html
Might be woth giving it a go
6.Pull power on the phone (even if power is PoE).
7.Hold down the # key on the phone.
8.Continue holding down the # key and re-apply power.
9.While still holding the # key wait for the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light on the handset to start flashing.
10.Once the MWI light is flashing, release the # key and enter the following sequence exactly on the keypad:
3491672850*#
Once this sequence has been entered on the IP Phone, if all the network criteria above have been met, it should begin its recovery process. This process can take up to 15 minutes to finish. The phone may appear to be doing nothing during this time. However, if the phone does not recover after 20 minutes then it is possible that the recovery is stuck. In this case, re-examine your network and verify that steps 1-4 are in place, then re-issue the factory reset sequence.
* Note: The factory reset sequence is a way for a phone to clear flash and still upload to a valid firmware image. This is facilitated by the termxx.default.loads file, but requires that the image files listed in the termxx.default.loads file are available in TFTP for the phone to download. Open the termxx.default.loads file in any text editor. This loads file is essentially just a packing list showing all the OS and application files the phone needs to function. The files include a cnu, cvm, dsp, app and jar files. Please make sure that these files as listed in the termxx.default.loads file are in TFTP. ("xx" will be either "06" for the CP-7906G model, or "11" for the CP-7911G model.)
Additional Diagnostic Steps:
- Try a hard-coded IP address as a test to see if this resolves the upgrade failures. If it does, and the number of failing IP Phones is relatively few, this procedure may be the most expedient. After the IP Phone upgrades successfully, reconfigure the IP Phone to use DHCP.
- Try putting the phone on a hub or a different switch and see if this helps change the startup timing enough so that the upgrade completes successfully.

Persistent spinning gears after factory reset. Tri...

Hi, I factory reset my phone today through the settings menu. I was having a minor problem after installing the most recent update last night and decided reluctantly that a hard reset might iron out the problems, though I wasn't looking forward to reinstalling all my apps and re-entering my info. Anyway, the phone is stuck on spinning gears and has been for hours. I see that others were having the same problem so I tried some of the solutions here. I held the volume down and power buttons simultaneously and let the phone restart. I let the power drain out and restarted it by plugging it into a charger as outlined in another post. I held the volume down button and restarted it in the hopes of seeing an exclaimation mark (!), but no joy. I held the volume down, power and camera buttons, let go of power after the phone vibrated and let go of the rest after five seconds and nothing. Can anyone help, please?

This seemed to work for me:
It took quite a few attempts, but persitance paid off. Best of luck.

Get rid of Spinning gears Screen of lumia 920... A Solution that is 100% working
Once my Lumia 920 was messed up with lots of applications and I thought of Reset it from settings menu. When phone restarted, it struck at Spinning Gears screen. I waited for 20 minutes and then i took that to Nokia Care. The Care centre was going to close in evening and they said it takes 30-45 minutes to reboot. I came back, waited for 2 hours but phone was still struck at spinning gears. Battery got drained automatically, i plugged the charger and after some time, spinning gears started again . I waited for 30 minutes again and nothing happened and then I found the solution from Net and that works perfectly.... wolla phone is back to life..Ahhh.
Solution :
( please read the steps first and then perform) :
1. While gears are spinning, Press VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON together, keep pressed till phone goes blank, vibrates and NOKIA appears and then release the buttons.
2. Immediately press following buttons in sequence ONE by ONE i.e. press release..press release :
VOLUME UP
VOLUME DOWN
POWER
VOLUME DOWN
after this, phone will restart or gears will continue to spin or you will feel you are struck at NOKIA...but it wont take more than 5 minutes and your phone will be back to life.
I DID IT and you will also.. Enjoy.
Please share if u find it useful.

Cannot connect to TC, even after factory reset

I bought a 1TB TC from apple in 08/2008. I don't recall if it was a refurb or not. It worked fine for 4.5 years with more or less no problems. About a month or two ago the Wi-Fi stopped working. I could connect to the SSID, but occasionally could not get an internet connection without cycling the power of the modem and TC. Finally, the cycling trick stopped working, and while I could connect to the TC I couldn't get internet. I switched to the WiFi capabilties that my Comcast modem had (as I didn't have time to address the issue then). I've finally gotten around to trying to fix it and could not find the TC via WiFi. I attempted a hard reset, but holding the reset button (while under power) did not make the yellow light flash, even after 30 seconds. I then performed a factory reset by holding the reset button while plugging in the TC. The light flashed, indicating the factory reset occurred.
After the factory reset I still cannot:
-Find the TC via WiFi
     I attempted using both my previous SSID and searching for the default "Apple Network XXXXXX" signal. No dice.
-Find the TC via Ethernet
     I attempted to connect my MBP directly to the ethernet port (<--->) on the TC but the red light remains on the Ethernet in Network Settings (Status: Cable Unplugged. Either the cable for Ethernet is not plugged in or the device at the other end is not responding). I verified the cable works by connecting the ethernet cable to the cable modem and instantly getting the green "connected" light and an internet connection.
-Find the TC via Airport Utility
     The TC did not appear, even when plugged in directly with the ethernet cable.
I'm not sure if this is a firmware issue or what. The lights turn on the front and in the LEDs above the ethernet jacks in the back during power/start up but is otherwise unresponsive. I cannot attempt a firmware update as I cannot connect to the TC by WiFi/Ethernet, let alone through the Airport utilitiy.
I'm not sure if this is relevant or helpful but the TC is also making a ticking/hissing slightly faster than once a second as if the drive is being accessed.
Can anyone help!?! I have quite a drive to an apple store and I'm sure what they would charge to mail in and fix it would be excessive.
Many karma points await anyone that can help!!! Thanks in advance for your time!

The power supply is dead.
Solid amber could also be a dead hard disk.
Apple will not fix it and do not supply parts for anyone else to fix them.
It is really no longer economic to repair unless you can DIY. And even then if the hard disk is gone then it really is a waste.. just buy a replacement.
See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
I have given several methods.. some rough but very cheap to repair the TC.
Otherwise it is just time to buy a new one.. or IMHO a Gen4 is an excellent buy.. second hand or from your local apple refurbish store.

IPod Touch 4 has gone wonky even after factory reset!!!

I have an iPod Touch 4. It has the latest o/s (6.1.3, there isn't anything newer available). I am running the latest iTunes. I have a pc with windows 7. Everything was working great up until about a week ago. All of a sudden my ipod crashed and got stuck in a boot loop... I couldn't get it to respond any other way so I did a factory reset and restore. I had massive issues after that -- most of my apps wouldn't sync/install. Very little would work. Basically it's useless. So I did another factory reset and restore. Same problem. Must have done this a dozen times. It takes a long time to do a restore btw and it fails on top of that...
So today I finally did a factory reset and set it up like new instead of doing a restore. I installed only a few apps, not all. It appeared to work ok. I just did a sync and started to install more apps and viola -- funky iPod again... It appears to work, apps open, you can even play or use them. Then randomly it turns screen off, closing the app and appears to reboot (but it doesn't reboot every time)... Things do work on it, I get push notices ok... I had turned off the screen lock thing so I didn't think it should be turning the screen off anymore...
I might add, even during a sync it appears to be doing something -- it beeps, screen goes black, apple logo come up, it comes up again but its super fast so I am not sure if it's rebooting itself or what? The sync just sits there waiting... So it never appears to be dropping the connection...
This is driving me batty!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried doing searches online and it appears I am not alone... Is this some kind of problem with the latest version of itunes?
Is it my ipod going belly up?
I bought this used off amazon about 1 1/2 months ago... Should I contact the seller for replacement?
Suggestions?
If I took it to the apple store I am sure it's not under warranty so I don't think they would help me...
Everyone please chime in cause I would LOVE to use my ipod again! It's not much use to me in this state!!!!!!!

Well my friend, I do appreciate the help!
it looks like it may have been a bad app or multiple bad apps... or maybe even corrupted stored data...
it appears to be working ok now -- i've added about 1/2 my apps back... a lilttle at a time... doing backups before adding anything new each time... and it's ok... there were only a few games I cared about keeping the data for and I was able to pull that data out of some old backups using iBackup Robot... careful to pull ONLY the data for a handful of apps, NOT all the data for everything... I even decided to give up on 2 games and start over again cause I suspect they may have been part of the problem as they have new updates all the time and the updates are usually flawed.. so i just started over on those 2...
so the lesson Illaass to learn here is, before you jump in going on about how it's a bad logic board which it appears NOT to be -- let the discussion I was hoping to have with others and not you (no offense, others who actually have had this problem not someone parroting back what he's read) take place...
and if you see someone posting a similiar problem to mine -- suggest what I did first! cause most of us (including myself) don't have $199 sitting around doing nothing to buy a new ipod with... lol
but i do thank you for trying -- your heart was in the right place!

After factory reset atv1will constantly restart after connect network.

After a factory reset i can choose for the language setting at that moment the setup will connect the network, by processing the settings for wireless or cabled LAN.
But the ATV will constantly flash back the menu, the only way to solve this, by disconnect the network. When connected the ATV can be pinged from a other station in the network. How to solve this issue? Is this a hardware problem, how can i update the firmware if i can't connect the network?

I finally got it working after resetting the router several times.

Freezes during "starting windows" message even after factory reset.

I've gone through diagnostic tests and they've shown it wasn't a hardware error. After a failed update to windows 10 my computer rolled back to windows 7. After the rollback when attempting to boot win 7 It froze and hung on the starting windows screen. At first i was able to boot in safe mode and navigate the desktop and drivers, but after plenty of failed fixes i had to result to a factory reset with alienrespawn. After the factory reset the issue still persists, and i can no longer boot up in safe mode. When i do, it tries to do first time installation and says that i has to reboot in normal mode to complete first time config. My computer didn't come with a disk so i can't re-install windows 7, and factory reset dosen't seem to fix the issue. All I need is to resolve this issue so i can get back with a clean slate to upgrade to windows 10. Any ideas?
