Registering a Used laptop given to me?

I am repairing a ze4547wm Used laptop i've had sitting on the side for a couple years or so. I need to upgrade the bios chip, and I would like to register ownership of it since it was given to me by the original owner, and she was just going to toss it anyway. I want to use it for mobility purposes succh as automotive diagnostics, and it's perfect for my needs. How do I do this so I can replace the bios chip, and other harware as needed. It does support the windows 8 upgrade, but I need it open to me for the assigned tak at hand. Thank you in advance!

There is no need to "register" ths computer with HP. Replacing components can be done without registering the computer. It is unlikely, however, that you will be able to replace the BIOS chip as you desire.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • You are not registered to use this service

    We have everything with BT including a new TV box with netflix etc, which is currently at the end of the 14 day cooling off period. If the following problem isn't resolved today I will be considering cancelling the TV contract and leaving BT all together.
    Our phone was working ok on the 15/4/2015. I tried to dial a local number last night (16/4/2015) to hear 'you are not registered to use this service please contact your service provider'. I dialled again with the area code, same thing. Also with national and mobile calls. We can receive incoming calls. I rang the Indian call centre who said there is no problem with the line or the account (which is in credit) it must be the handset. I am waiting for them to ring me back but having searched the problem online I think this will be to no avail. I have read about prefixing phone numbers with 1280 and this has worked when trying to ring my own mobile, so it can't be a problem with the handset, can it?
    I've seen it could be a problem with Indirect Access IDA being removed from my account (no idea how this might happen). I also know that there was a major outage last week (around 6/4/2015) in our area which led to the freeview HD channels not being available. I had to reset our router which cleared the problem but were Openreach in our area doing something to the exchange boxes etc?
    I need this problem sorting out A.S.A.P. please.

    The fact that if you use 1280 it allows successful calls suggests your line is set as CPS , carrier pre select, if this has just happened it suggests a CPS provider has taken your 'line' for calls if not for line rental, but it's not properly set up otherwise calls would terminate it would just be billed by the mystery CPS provider
    Have you had any approach by company's that sell this product ?, sometimes ISP's who's product includes calls can use CPS, if not, and you haven't been 'slammed' you need BT to set your line as non CPS , so BT handle your calls automatically without using 1280
    This should be easy to get done, but the drones that answer the calls probably won't have a clue, hence the 'it must be your handset' nonsense they come up with, report the line faulty,don't accept an appointment, and insist they sent the problem to what was once called BT Operate, they look after the telephone exchange equipment and it's 'data',

    Hi,
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.
    Note:  If the option to run these tests is not available in the Bios Menu, use the f2 diagnostic menu instead.
    Can you also post back with the following details.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of your notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).

    I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
    Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks

  • Using Laptop as Hotspot

    I have a laptop and a notebook and only the laptop will connect to the wireless connection.  I had the same problem with my work lapttop and it was solved by setting up my personal laptop as a Wifi Hotspot. 
    Now I'd like to connect my notebook via the laptop as a hotspot but I can't remember how.  The notebook shows it's connected to my wireless but I still can't get on the internet. 
    If I connect my notebook to my neighbor's wireless it works and I am able to access the web.  Any suggestions?

    A quick query on an internet search engine should provide you with that information much faster than you can get it here.  There are a number of how-to's on there that provide step-by-step instruction on Using Laptops as Wireless Hotspots.
    Good Luck!

    Restore it in iTunes to factory settings. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. It will as if you are just pulling the iPod out of the box.

    No, it is asking you to register with your Amazon user id and password. Your Apple ID won't work.
