Please Help.. HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook has totally stopped working

Hi
If anyone can help me I would be grateful. My computer just stopped working today and left me with a blank screen, when I try to turn on I just get the HP logo. I have run a hard disk and memory test and they both came back OK.
I have my life on here and when I took it to the Geek Squad they said it was probably the hard drive and wanted tons of money to TRY and fix it.
I have a blank black/blue page, I have removed the battery and tried a hard start, I replaced the battery, I do have a flashing caps lock light and my mouse pad is illuminated.
I don't know what to do next and have my life on this computer including many family photos that cannot be replaced.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received
Thanks

I Try to update everything using the Hp support assistance and still i have the same issue. I don't know much about the computer and the driver so I will appreciate if somebody give me a solution. Thank you!!!

Hello @youleeus,

I have read your post on how the driver display has stopped working, that it has recovered, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose this issue, I recommend following the steps in this document on "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This should help prevent the GPU on your computer from timing out.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Brand new Itouch has totally stopped working...??? is it the battery or is there a freeze/lock button that was activated?

Brand new Itouch has just stopped working.....no response...battery seemed to be fully charged and then my daughter hit the button to shut the screen off..now no response whatsoever.....???

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't help, try a Restore. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more but let's take it in small bites.
Also, read this.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that has suddenly stopped playing any kind of audio. How do I fix this?

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that suddenly stopped playing any kind of sound. That's with earphones plugged in or not. The microphone indicator in sound setup indicates that it is listening to external sound, and when I play system sounds, the speaker icon in the volume mixer indicates that the hardware thinks it is playing sounds, but nothing is coming out of the laptop at all. I thought if it were a speaker not working internally I could fix it with earphones or external speaker but that isn't working either.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall. When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'. You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7

HP Pavilion dv6-6117dx - Sound just stopped working

Listened to a video earlier, then went to listen to another audio type file and the sound was gone. Was not experiencing any issues. Sound just disappeared at some point. Volume is not muted anywhere. Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse has totally stopped working

I have a bluetooth Mighty Mouse that seems to have stopped working. I was using it on a trip over in Guam. Then I came back to the states and it was in my suitcase/unused for several weeks with the batteries in it. Now that we have moved into an apartment, I would like to start using it again. But when I turn it on by sliding the little slider switch on the bottom, the little green light doesn't blink any more and it doesn't seem to be recognized by my computer. I have tried it with recharged batteries and other batteries, but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get this thing working without having to buy a new mouse. I have noticed that there is a little white tab just above where the batteries go. When the back cover is on, it appears that the slider switch somehow pushes on this little white tab. But with the cover off, this little white tab has some play in it (up and down) and can rattle around. Could there be something under this tab that is stuck down? Any advice would be appreciate! Thanks!

Hello ba:
No light=no power to the device.
If you happen to be near an Apple store, take the mouse in and have them try it on one of their systems. I do not think there would be any charge for that.

Please help - HP Pavilion running Linux has six jacks on the back - which is speakers ?

I need to know which 1/8 " jack is for speakers and whether a driver is needed, or what the setup procedure in Linux is.
Thank-you very much.

Hi:
Without the full model # of the PC, there is little we can do to assist you.
Normally the audio out jack for a regular pair of desktop stereo speakers is light green.
You can check the audio device manufacturer's driver page (if any) for Linux drivers.

Please help. I am an idiot. wrt320 stopped working completly

Hi
I reseted my 320n because i replaced my wrt160nl. i put latest firmwire and i think i choose to activate usb function even if 320n does not have usb function then my router stopped working, reboots itself and i can not connect to it via LAN and the wireless led is not working anymore and not indicating anything.
Did I screw the firmwire. I can not reset it. And boots itself from time to time. What can I Do?

Do a 1 minute reset. Also make sure the power adapter you’re using is correct. The output should be 12v 1A.

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

Hi...
just a quick question please,
my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC came with a 8GB RAM so can i increase the RAM size to be 16GB?
if yes will it have a great effect on my laptop performance or i wouldn't feel the deference?
my laptop details are as follow:
Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
Product number: B6K67EA#ABV
thank you for your assistance in advance

Hi:
Yes, you can upgrade your PC to 16 GB of memory.
2 x 8 GB of PC3-12800 notebook memory.
Whether or not you will "feel" a better performance increase depends on what you do with the PC, how many applications you have open at the same time, etc.
If it were me, I would max out the memory while it is still relatively inexpensive.

Can someone help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Can someone please help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Hello generousdragon,
It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes shortly after launching it. Use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with this step to isolate 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue, an use the rest of the troubleshooting if needed.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How do i clean the air vents on my hp pavilion dv6 notebook pc?

Latelly, the fan on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC has been noiser than usual and it appears that my notebook becomes quite warm to the touch. The HP Support Assistant running on my notebook PC recommended that I can reduce the heat and fan noise by cleaning the air vents. How do I do this? Can I do this myself or do I have to have a professional do it?

Hi Rosie,
You can clean the vents on your notebook.
Buy a can of compressed air. Essentially, you need to gently blow out the vents with the compressed air to clear out the dirt and dust. You need a can with a small straw like attachment for the nozzle so you can point it directly toward the vents.
Do take a look at this document first so you know which way to point the air and how to avoid damaging the fan inside the notebook.
