Power button and HDD cable

Hi there,
I made a big mistake by opening up my HP Pavilion 15-n255sb (this is a build sold here in Belgium) without exactly knowing how to go about this and so in the proccess I broke the HDD cable and ripped of the fine flat cable from the power button.
Yes I know, warranty went out of the window with this, stupid, stupid but I am sure I can salvage the machine and get it back to work as it is a very nice machine to work with......
So what I need is to know where to find these 2 cables, prefably here in Belgium or indeed in Europe, if all fails the rest of the world....
Anyone that can help me?
I thank you very much and feel pretty stupid by messing up this machine , !!!!

    Sparkles1 was able to help me by pointing me to the manual of this laptop and so I could find the correct part numbers.
    So far all went well but as soon as I tried to order them I ran into a (brick)wall. HP themselves do not seem to be able or willing to supply them, their (prefered) partners are pretty useless too!! If I go to HP USA I can find both parts, put them in my shoppingcard but than ofcourse I get dropped back to HP Europe (Belgium to be precise) and ther it all goes cold....
    Anyone any suggestions how to get these 2 fairly simple parts? This is getting very silly and I am getting angry....
    Thanks for your time and help,

    So just like last time I tried to update my iPhone software...MY PHONE IS FROZEN.  Displaying  iTunes icon and a USB cable I pressed the Power button and the menu botton together until the apple icon appeared held them down for 10 secs & NOTHING Now what?  Do I just wait for the battery to run out?

    Hi Careesa,
    Your iPhone is in recovery mode-- you need to connect it to your computer and, most likely, iTunes will ask you to restore it. If you recently backed up this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

  • HT3302 My Ipod touch 8gb will not turn back on no matter what i do i have tried just the power button, the power button and home button, and connecting it to the computer and the battery wasn't close to being dead non of them work what do i do?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone4 will not turn on. Tried reboot with home button and power button, and tried with sim out. Left on charge for an hour and nothing. Tried plugged into PC and nothing. Tried holding any and all buttons one at a time and plugging into PC and nothing.

    Hi,
    This is for my wife's iPhone 4
    She was on a call and went to end the call and the phone just turned off.
    Left it on charge for an hour or so and nothing.
    I tried the old reboot (home button and power button) and nothing
    I tired with the sim out.
    And with it plugged into a PC, opened iTunes and it didn't recognize that the phone was plugged in.
    I tried my PC and nothing.
    My phone charges and connects to both PC's
    Tried holding the home button then plugging into PC
    Tried holding the power button then into PC
    I've now been trying different combinations for about 3 hours and now I'm all out of ideas.... :(
    Please please can some help before Tuesday when I will have to find someone to repair it.
    Thanks,

    Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.

  • My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

    My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
    I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
    I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
    Thanks

    Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
    Remove the AC power cord.
    Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
    wait a quarter minute.
    Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
    wait a quarter minute
    attempt to power on.
    If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

    You need to restore the iPad.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If that will not work, you will need to use Recovery Mode to restore.

  • My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

    I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.

    Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

    Hi there. If you have 10.9 Maverick you can get in recovery mode By using /command r Option R or Option. Then you came click on the link to go to disk utilities and repair your disk or do a reinstall of you operating system. I think the screen you are seeing is the recovery screen. Here is a hot of what it looks like. You will have to scroll down a little to see it.http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/05/downgrade-from-os-x-mavericks/   http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4718  This link tells you what you can do.

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • After we installed a new airport extreme, the imac running snow leopard displays black box msgs saying to hold down the power button and or the reset button and then restart your computer. Can anyone provide info that can help resolve this issue?

    Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
    one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
    Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
    At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.

    It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log. You can find it at:
