Pavilion dv8 1100 - equalizer appears abruptly on screen disconnecting internet - freezing other aps
while on internet, I will have a volume control or equalizer bar abruptly appear across the screen that disconnects the internet and locks out other applications. It reflects "treble" or "base" - which ever is highlighted on the audio bar across the bar on the key board. I went on-line and downloaded audio drivers that did nothing to correct the problem.
Hi,
Assuming you are using Windows 7 ( 32bit or 64bit ) download and apply the Firmware update for Quick Launch Buttons on the link below.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53677.exe
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
Regards,
DP-K

My phone keeps freezing, the apple sign appears on the screen and then it freezes again and repeats itself.. has anyone had this before? if so, what is it? & it's also not letting me restore it from iTunes, it keeps coming up with error (9) or error (14).. help?
Hi there Holly N,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

Wi-Fi adapter replacement for HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO laptop
I have an HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC laptop. It seems as though the Wi-Fi is going out. After a while I the Wi-Fi connectivity stops functioning and I have to plug in an EitherNet cable to continue on-line. So how do I find out what the part number of the machine is, and where do I order a new one? Thanks.
Hi @MikeatHPformum
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In answer to your questions about the WLAN adapter and how to order a replacement, take a look at the attached serivce manual for the notebook family. HP Pavilion dv8 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
On page 51 of 148, or if you prefer page 4-17, the section on the WLAN adapter starts and shows the supported part numbers, as well as the replacement procedure.
And to order the parts check out this page.
HP Notebook PCs - Ordering HP Certified Replacement Parts

HP Pavilion DV8 1200 eb Azerty
Hello,
My HP Pavilion dv8 1200 eb starts with a unknow device that i located for the webcam.
On the USB controller list from the system devices, the port is know as ""unknow device""
I have several times uninstalled that USB port and after two or three restarts the USB port for the webcam become ""unkn ow device"". error code 43. I followed several times the instructions given by Microsoft with no results.
What can be done to fixe that problem?
Sincerely,
JM2402
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Jean-Marie,
Based on the fact that you seem to be having issues with your webcam, you've mentioned usb problems, and your showing me screen shots of your registry with ghost keys ( which is not your device manager). I would recommend doing a full system recovery.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) - this document will guide you through the process of doing the recovery, as well as how to back up your files.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks for your reply.

I have a MacBook Pro, 10.10.2 Yosemite. My external hard drive no longer appears on my screen or in Time Machine. I have gone into Disc Utility to repair disc, and get the message: Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found. I was trying to follow Melophage's instructions by going into "Terminal" and entering "diskutil list; diskutil cs list; mount" and "diskutil info disk2." Then I entered the command "sudo got show disk1." I am sure I have made the problem worse. Can you give me some help? Thank you. blelambert

have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference with the heat? -
At log-in Firefox the screen opened up with the message "Oops, We're embarrassed, we are having trouble closing tabs" or similar wording directing me to click on a tab to continue, which I did. At which time a screen full of rows of thumbnail pictures of a young girl in appeared on the screen. Some of the pictures had the girl imitating a sexual act. When I tried to close out of the screen by clicking on the 'X' at the top right of the screen, another screen opened with another larger picture of this little girl. I finally got out of Firefox. When I open it up again the message wasn't on the screen. As these pictures were disturbing I cleared them out of my history.
My questions are - 1. Since these pictures appeared to be of a minor, can you backtrack to the source to find out where they originated and have something done about the individual who posted them? And,
2. - Did my clicking on the link as directed - by Firefox, I thought - open my computer up to the personal information on my computer being compromised?

I got my ipad2 replaced yesterday. And this new ipad started giving me problem by crashing aps. Then I restored the ipad twice but the problem was still there. I called apple and they fixed it by doing Reset All Settings. But now I have this weird problem. When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?
There is no way for anyone here to know if your replacement iPad is a refurbished unit. Per Apple's replacement policy, replacements can be refurbished units. If you feel the unit is not working correctly, take it back, let them check it out and if found defective, they will replace that unit.

How to block a page (from a business job searching website) from appearing on my screen without me searching for it?
Look under:
System preferences > Network > WiFi > ( Advanced ) > DNS
System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > DNS
There should be two or more IP addresses there.
Those addresses should be EXACTLY the ones your current ISP provided when you signed up for service. They do not start with 85 or 86 -- those are hacker sites.
If you are in the US, you could also use OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220 -

HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 Hard Drive Diagnostic failure - but runs fine?
I have a HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) that seems to run just fine. On a whim, I ran the pre-boot diagnostic check and received the following error code that the hard drive test had failed.
Q7NK1R-52M62E-XD002J-60WW03
Nothing in my PC's performance prompted me to run the diagnostic test, I simply ran it as a double check for the heck of it.
Is this something to be worried about? Of course an error code is always something to look into but since the PC seems to be running just fine is this a true error or simply a nuisance that should be ignored?
I can not remember making any signficant changes lately to the installed software and have made no changes to the hardware at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MJDHi,
I would resaet (not reset) the HDD or you may want to try this first:

When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.
