Running recovery when laptop display broken

computer needs  a recovery run and set back to factory settings.  the problem is that the display on the mini notebook is broken and we are running on a monitor.  We can activate the recovery process from windows but once it restarts and is doing the recovery (i assume) it does not return to the monitor it attempts to display on the broken mounted display.  I cannot access bios because during startup it again uses only the mounted display and does not utilize the monitor we have connected.  Is there someway to access the recovery program within the windows environment.  Is there someway to have the mini laptop use the monitor instead of built in display without going into bios.  Again I cannot access bios since the mini laptop does not utilize the monitor until windows is started.  Would like to return windows to factory settings but cannot see the recovery program since it runs outside of windows.  Mini laptop only uses externl monitor while in windows, so accessing bios is impossible and accessing recovery program impossible.
How do I make mini utitlize external monitor instead of mounted (broken) display as primary so that startup process is visible and perhaps I can access bios or run recoverey successfully?
problem
1. mounted display broken, unuseable
2. want to return windows to factory settings
3. would like to access bios
4. using external monitor but this only works within windows environment
How do I make the mini laptop utilize the external monitor so as to view startup and bios and recovery?

Hi @ranx,

I grasp that you are having an issue with trying to do a recovery with an external monitor.  When using the external monitor the bios screen may not be visible but you should be able to just let the recovery complete.
You can do a recovery from within Windows.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7) as a guide. There is a video within the docment for you to view.
During the process there is an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.  If you have not already done one, now is a good time.

  • Laptop display Broken

    Hello all,
    I am using HP Pavilion g6-1b70us for past 3 years .Today unfornately i have broken the display accidently.
    Please help me in replacement and hoe much it cost and where to buy.
    Is that possible that i can use the latop with the broken display for some time.As its roken only in the corner.

    Yes the broken display can be used with the cracks as long as you are very careful. The crack will get worse all by itself and will get worse faster with handling. You might get a couple more months or even a year out of it before the crack gets so bad you can't see enough to work with.
    This is the part you need:
    39.6-cm (15.6-in) high-definition, BrightView LED display panel 641663-001
    The part is over $200 from HP; quite a bit less with an exchange:

    $55.49 shipped on eBay:

    I also saw a lot of "Grade B" screens on eBay for $40. These would be used with a minor flaw or 2.
    Here is a youtube video on doing the replacement. It is easily doable by someone with average hand-eye coordination.

  • HT4352 Do u have to have a computer/pc to use home sharing? I have apple tv not sure if it's 2nd or 3rd generation or even if it's first generation. My laptop is broken and in the shop, can I not run my apple tv off my iPad?

    Do u have to have a computer/pc to use home sharing? I have apple tv not sure if it's 2nd or 3rd generation or even if it's first generation. My laptop is broken and in the shop, can I run my apple tv off my iPad?

    If you have home sharing turned on in the settings of your apple tv and your iPad you can AirPlay from your iPad to the apple tv. When you play a video there is a tv icon on the right side of the play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Click that and choose your apple tv. Your apple tv and iPad must be on the same network.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button.  Worked fine before Lion update.   Any Advice?

    Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
    Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
    The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
    I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine. 
    Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway. 
    Oh well...
    Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out.  Thanks very much for responding!!!

    When I play games like StarCraft 2 on my MacBook Pro (without my Thunderbolt Display connected), the game runs GREAT
    When I play games like StarCraft 2 on my MacBook Pro (with my Thunderbolt Display connected), you notice the mouse responding slower (I even lowered the graphics settings to it's lowest and still get the same results)
    When I play games like Safari on my MacBook Pro (without my Thunderbolt Display connected), the game runs GREAT
    When I play games like Safari on my MacBook Pro (with my Thunderbolt Display connected), you notice the mouse responding slower
    The above happens with any application. This even occurs after a fresh reboot. i unplugged all my periphals from my MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt Display
    I updated my OS and applications.
    I monitor Activity Monitor and notice nothing unsual about runaway processes.
    Just so everyone knows. This is a 2011 MacBook Pro.

    I have the same exact model as you, as well as an Apple Thunderbolt Display. I don't play any games, so I wouldn't notice any degradation there but I do run a lot of GPU/CPU/RAM intensive apps and have experienced no problems with the TB display connected.
    We have the same configuration, OS, everything. We may just be running different apps. I do have 16GB of RAM and a SSD so that may mean that I'm just not able to notice any slowdown at all.
    I'm not sure what your problem might be - I would suggest contacting AppleCare to see if they've documented problems such as the one you're having.

  • "Fatal error, run database recovery " when there are no txns to recover.

    Hi, all.
    I have a DB file containing multiple databases. Without using DBEnvironments, I can open it to get the dbnames. I can open the databases RDONLY,
    and see that their contents are correct. I can open them RW, and everything works.
    But when I try to create a new one, I get this:
    D = bsddb3.db.DB()
    D.open('test.db',dbname='test',dbtype=B.DB_BTREE,flags=B.DB_CREATE)Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    bsddb3.db.DBRunRecoveryError: (-30974, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery')
    Note that this is in the non-transactional case. There is no Env, and there are no logfiles or __db files. So the error code mystifies me.
    Strace shows that the file is opened RW, and read through.
    B.DB_VERSION_STRING'Berkeley DB 4.8.24: (August 14, 2009)'
    >>>
    So, where to proceed? Many thanks for any and all help.

    Hmm. Other thing to note:
    [tradedesk@vader 2010-05-06.test]$ /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/bin/db_verify foo.db
    db_verify: Subdatabase entry references page 266 of invalid type 13
    db_verify: Page 0: non-invalid page 40 on free list
    db_verify: trading.db: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed
    Not sure how that came about or how to prevent it, but it might have to do wit this issue.

  • Edge Inspect not working for domain.dev URL's running locally on my laptop, displays error message.

    "An error occured
    Web page not availiable".
    This, printed on a white screen, on my iphone5 (OSX and iOS all running latest updates, latest Adobe Edge Inspect, freshly downloaded) is all I see when I try to visit any of the sites I run on my laptop with Apache.
    I set up my domains as "http://foobar.dev"  (where '.dev' is the TLD on my localhost for things ... local).
    I can view any public internet sites, and they will show up on Edge Inspect on my phone, with no problem.
    I've tested this with turning off the firewall on my computer... (but I'm surprised thats how edge works, but what ever).
    Any guides? tricks? help?
    Thanks.

    Edge Inspect doesn't do anything different to read the website off your computer than a normal browser does. We send a URL to the connected devices and expect them to be able to load that address into the WebView/UIWebView components in the Edge Inspect app on the devices.The reason you're seeing an issue with Edge Inspect and your http://foobar.dev site is the same reason why you wouldn't/shouldn't expect to type that URL into a browser on another machine and be able to view the website... there's no external DNS server to talk to that knows where that address is actually located.
    So, Edge Inspect might be doing less than you thought is was in those terms. The main focus of Edge Inspect really is:
    1. Managing the connection from your computer to multiple connected devices
    2. Translating localhost, 127.0.0.1, and <machinename>.local urls
    3. Keeping multiple devices in sync
    4. Simplifying things like cache clearing and screenshots on all your devices
    5. Providing a simple interface into weinre for remote inspection
    Definitely read more on xip.io. It's a public website, yes. We don't have anything to do with it, but it does provide a nice workflow for using virtual hosts with Edge Inspect.

  • Macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

    macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

    You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.
