Presario CQ40-106TU Notebook has Strange distorted noise every 5~6 minutes

I’ve bought this notebook 3 weeks ago, till now, when I play musics or movies, every 5~6 minutes I hear a short distorted noise thru earphone or speakers.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled sound driver. I have fully recovered my notebook, but this issue is still persisting.
When it is mute or I don’t play music or movie there is no noise. it happens in all kind of music, online music or radios, movies anythings.
The noise sometimes interrupts the music for an instant.
What can I do? Is it hardware problem?

Thanks for your kind attention, I have sent my lap top to HP repair center and now it's working properly. it was a hardware issue.

Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC Display problem

Hi,
My product is Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC originally with Windows XP edition. Recently I installed Windows 7 in my laptop from USB pen drive. Installation went fine, but it does not ask for C drive format. I installed in the C drive where Windows XP installed previously . After installation of my laptop working fine. Some times the screen goes blank (black) and come back after few minutes and in notification area it shows "Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7 (R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." like that I am getting a notification. In my system information, I checked it shows Windows 7 in OS. It happens only when I toggle to different windows or applications. I checked display adapters in device manager and it shows "Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)" . When I tried to update display adapter it showed already uptodate. Can I expect some solution for my problem here. Also after OS installed I found Windows.old folder in C drive. Can I removed that folder?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venugopal

Strange "twanging" noise every few minutes

My iPad is making a strange "twanging" noise every few minutes and I can't seem to find the reason for this. It is driving me and my whole family crazy. What can be causing this? I tthought it was some sort of alert, but can't find the source.

It's almost certainly an app alert. Go to Settings, Notifications and see which apps are yelling at you. ry switching them al to OFF, then re-enabling them one by one

When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes!

When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!

The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
For the other problem.
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

The recovery partition from my hp presario cq50 104ca notebook has been removed, if you are able to

Hi to all
Assume that the recovery partition from my hp cq50 104ca has been removed because in the past many times, I could reset back to factory setting, just by holding down alt and control and f11 by starting point. But now since few weeks can not do it. If you are able to assist me with that issue however.
Thank you in advance
Munir

Hi Munir,
If you have created your set of Recovery Discs, you can use these to reinstall the operating system - this procedure will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

My computer is making a wierd noise every 5-10 minutes which only started after loading the Firefox upgrade. How do I stop it?

I am getting a sound blast similar to what I have heard on other computers concurrent with receipt of an email. It is very annoying. It occurs when I don't have any windows open or applications running and it is not related to any receipt of messages or emails.

Strange alert noise tx2

I hve a tx2 touchsmart. It is new to me and im still figuring it out. It keeps making this strange alerting noise every 10 seconds. It is like a small honk (if you will) sort of an echo sound. Like it is arning me of somw\ething. Just not sure what. Can anyone help??

Mine makes funny beeps quite often, as well, at seemingly random times.
I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong or strange, so I just ignore it.
But, every 10 seconds seems like there's something else going on.

My Compaq presario CQ40 battery

Sir,
I got a Compaq presario CQ40 notebook. My battery displays ....plugged in, not charging....I guess reason is that my battery has dried up....so i would like to ask that is it a safe using that battery for few days .....or it has chances to explode.......its urgent . also i would like to know the price of replacement of new battery.
,Thank You
~Shubham

If your power adapter is rated for 90Watts, then my next thought would be to try a different 12 cell battery from a different manufacturer. Most (if not all...) newer batteries have a small chip inside that relays information back to the charging circuit in your laptop. This is what "tells" your laptop charging percentage of the battery, battery status and how much to charge it. Either the new battery has a defective chip, or it's missing... At least thats what it sounds like to me.
You should have some type of guarantee from the website if battery is DOA from the start.

Louis

Flashing LEDs No Boot Presario CQ40

I have a Compaq Presario CQ40-107AU that will not boot. After pressing the power button, the fan starts running and nothing happens for several seconds. After approximately 20 seconds the LEDs above Scroll Lock and next to Caps Lock blink continously.
I found explinations of the blink codes somewhere online and found that the code was supposed to mean low power from the power adapter. I purchased a new (non-OEM) adapter and have the same issue. I tried a hard reset (removed the battery, disconnected power adapter and held the power button) doing this did not resolve the issue.
I am going to pop the case open tonight and verify all connections and visually inspect the solder and board where the power adapter mates to the notebook and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. I am unable to find this paticular model listed in any of the support areas on HP's support site.

Hi, i just experience the same symptom (CQ40). I tried to solve by myself by following the document, but it doesn't mention about continuous blinking at CapsLock & Num Lock. I also check my output adapter voltage, no wrong about it (18.5V). Memory card and hardisk drive also fit properly. Then, i tried to reset my bios by take out the bios battery, still not help. The pcb condition include pattern and components by visual check all ok, no sign of burn. Is there any meaning for continuous blinking at CapsLock & NumLock? Please help me... Thank you.

New laptop: Fuzzy, distorted noise with slowdown

Hi,
I've bought an HP Envy 17-j141na Laptop, Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 1TB, 17.3", Silver with Windows 8.
When playing games (Civilization V, Minecraft, Banished) sometimes a loud, fuzzy, distorted noise will come from the speakers and the gameplay will slow considerably. This has happened in all three games. It has occured both with the out-of-the-box (unupdated) computer and has continued after doing a Minimized Image Recovery (a clean re-install of Windows from the Hard Disk Recovery) and then fully updating with Windows Update, HP update, and updating the latest graphics drivers direct from Nvidia.
What might be causing this issue? Might it be faulty hardware? The laptop was only bought two and a half weeks ago.
Thanks in advance.

Could be number of things heating, background processes and throtelling i would sometimes blame the Harddrive choice 5400rpm is no substitute for an i7.

Distort noise coming from internal speaker

Hi
I just purchased my first iMac about 3 months ago and just today while listening to iTune the speaker made a stranger cracking sound and now all audio on the mac sounds like distortion. Does this sound like a broken sound card?
I restarted the mac and even the loading sound is the same "distortion noise"
thanks
Ray

This beeping plagued me for months and months, driving me insane. I tried to find a solution on the Internet; however, all I found were many people complaining about this random beeping noise from their HP laptops. A couple of times the beeping stopped for a few days, but then it would come back. But almost three months ago it stopped for good (I hope)! I didn't do anything--it just stopped. WEIRD. But you might find this link helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvZ70_H2wM&feature=email&email=comment_reply_received
