Some burning smell comes out from laptop

hi , i have purchased new hp pavilion 15 p210tx notebook in INDIA
after 15 day of use, there's weired burning like smell comes out from my laptop when i oped it every time.
it comes on battery power and also while charging.
another problem i noticed that continuous crackling sound comes from right speaker of laptop everytime.
all the things looks working nicely, but don't know where this smell comes from...either from speaker or something else?

Hello ashish15188,
Well it might be a hardware issue, and I would strongly recommend to get in touch with HP support, if you bought it recently (less than 1 year), even if you feel safe enough to go deeper and open your laptop to check the hardware.
Sorry for not providing any troubleshooting, but it really seems to be something that you can't resolve via software or something

Some time no sound comes out from laptop

some time no sound comes out from laptop and after restarting ,the lapi sound come back......

Hi,
Try the following.
Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Right click 'Speakers and Headphones' ( or Speakers/HP ) and select Properties. Select the Advanced tab and then remove the tick from the box next to 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device'. Click Apply and Ok to save this change.
Restart the notebook.

IPad (3rd Gen) From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it.

iPad (3rd Gen) which I purchased 3 week back in Bangalore. From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it. Any idea what could be wrong?
These are the some of instances of screen jumbling I faced
1) all the app icons stacked up on top left corner. I could move them anywhere on the screen but could not start the app. Later killed all apps and starting iPad rectified it.
2) starting any app was giving blank screen, restart rectified it
3) home screen and lock screen both merged up. I could see both of them together whenever I swiped on the screen. Again restart rectified it.
Can I get replacement of this piece, I believe there is some serious hardware issues in it.

Handed over iPad to support group named "imagine"in Bangalore Saturday evening. There is no direct support available from Apple in India. Know what.. These "imagine" guys are highly incopetent..
When I checked the status in evening, their reply was that there is no issue with iPad, even though burning smell was still threre if I keep the nose close to iPad, but during working for 4-5 hours it starts building up.
When I asked how did they tested it, reply was that they kept playing games on my iPad and they didn't find any issue.. Rediculous answer..
They even didn't bother to open up the piece or running test of full CPU/RAM and Graphics utilization. Now asking me to take it back to wait for either complete breakdown or burndown, no matter where I am.. Airport, hospital, client meeting..
I use my iPad mostly for client presentations, I don't want to be in a situation that the display again jumbles up during a demo session giving impression that the problem is with our application..
I wish I wouldn't have invested in this device through BYOD program..

When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.

When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.

The ones sold that day will come with Snow Leopard most likely but they will be able to get a free upgrade to LIon if they apply within 30 days. Hardware coming through the supply chain from the day of the announcement will have Lion installed so it depends what stock people have to move before buyers see those.

[solved] ctxfi -- Sound comes out from one speaker, sometimes...

Hi
I have a Creative X-Fi.
I installed kernel26 from the testing repository in order that I could use the card with Arch Linux, and therefore alsamixer detects my card.
I am able to play a sound file, however: sound only comes out from my front-right speaker. I have surround sound, and at the very least music should play from my front-left speaker, too.
I opened Amarok earlier on and inside the preferences where you can pick the audio device, there are lots of different devices, and when selecting some of them I was able to get the sound to come out from either the back two speakers, the front-right speaker, or the front-center speaker. As of yet, I've not been able to get the front-left speaker to work, and I am not sure how to get this all to work outside of fiddling about on a amarok preferences page.
Does anybody have any tips?

Have u ran alsamixer? That isnt for card detection alsamixer is to adjust sound levels.. alsaconf is whats used for detection. If you havent gone in there do it or if you have a graphical setup download the alsamixer gui version. Another thing is considering your sound card it might be installing as hda not legacy.. run dmesg and look for any troubles with in there involving sound card.. usually its a codec issue and you need to use the correct module in the alsa module conf file.. alsa comes with a text file containing all sound card model types with their respective codecs.

With 20DB boost, mic input comes out from speaker - SB X-Fi XtremeMusic

If? +20DB boost is turned on, michrophone input or my voice comes out from the speakers even "Listen to this device" is unchecked on the Sound setting. If I start playing music by WMP under this condition and raise tthe speaker volume above certain level the system starts oscillation or noise dominates the speaker output. I wonder if I am not using the +20DB boost correctly. I have just gotten this sound card and am not yet familliar with [email protected]

Hi Catherina,
I do not have a Logitech webcam and have never owned one. The problem with REAR channels being reversed was resolved after uninstallation of the X-Fi and subsequent reinstallation. I use the CD that came with the card and install the normal package plus the Volume Panel. After that, I install the latest drivers from the Creative website. (not the BETA drivers)
Oddly, when I uninstalled it the first time and then reinstalled it using the CD (before installing the latest web release), the REAR channel was mapped correctly to the REAR speakers only even with the digital connection in place. The problem came back after I installed the web release.
However, the problem of the REAR channel being heard from FRONT speakers still persists even after I have uninstalled the X-Fi and reinstalled it from scratch multiple times. (with or without installing the web release)

Sound effects can't come out from SoundSticks after upgrade to 10.4.4

After upgrading to 10.4.4, the sound effects of OS X, such as emptying trash, iChat effects, etc, doesn't come out from the SoundSticks (first generation, connected via USB), even though I've turned it (effects) to the highest level, and selected to have it come out of the SoundSticks.
The effects are fine if I select Built-in Audio as sound output.

Getting 34208 Events in IIS server after come out from Maintenance mode

Hi Experts,
We are monitoring .Net application(APM) in our environment(SCOM 2012 SP1). We are putting all the servers in Maintenance mode on every sunday(Weekly Maintenance), after come out from MMode getting 34208 events in OPSMGR Logs, particularly from
IIS servers(APM).
Do we have any fix for that like cumulative update?
Can we put IIS server into Maintenance mode? If we put in MMode, Will it affect monitoring??
Expecting your reply.. Thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Karthick

Thanks for reply Agrawal!
I know that we won't get alerts if the servers are in Maintenance mode. But we are getting 34208 events particularly from IIS servers(.Net Application Performance Monitoring - APM) as the result we are receiving warning alerts in SCOM console stating
that " Restart IIS service" which will affect other monitoring in the servers.
Is anyone getting this issue in your environment? Generally we will get 34208 events while we adding new application in to IIS server. But here we are getting this events after the server come out from MMode.
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions. Thanks!
Regards
Karthick

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Burning Smell, then Smoke from Vent

So yesterday I was playing this game that my friend convinced me to buy on the Steam Store called "The Binding of Isaac", when I smelled a burning smell. I went downstairs to the kitchen and nothing seemed wrong, so I ignored it thinking it was something outside and went back to the game.
A few minutes later I smelled it again and looked up to see a puff of white smoke coming from the vent of my iMac. I quickly unplugged it and let it be for a few hours.
I've been using it very cautiously since yesterday, but everything seems normal. I'm super paranoid now. >.<
What could have caused it? Our air was off at the time and it was somewhat hot, so could it have been the game (Which I don't think is really that intesive... It's 2D.) + the temperature of the room?
And mainly, what should I do about it? Continue with normal use? Take it in to get it checked out? (I'd rather not do that as the nearest Apple Store is an hour away) I just got the iMac in December and it's the first Mac I've ever owned, I rather not say goodbye to it so soon.

A strong possibility is that one or more electrolytic capictors blew out. What you saw may have been steam from the cap dying. It may continue to work but there has been some damage that should be repaired so that one problem does not cascade into multiple problems.
Check your warranty status and if you did not purchase AppleCare when you bought the computer you must buy it while your normal warranty is still in effect. That is one year from the date or purchase. AppleCare provides fopr three years total of coverage. Otherwise you only have the one year coverage on your hardware.
Seven or eight years ago a supplier of these style caps changed their electrolyte formula. The caps ran okay for a couple of years but then started blowing out, When they did any numbver of problems would appear from bad video to shutting down and not powering up. The last series of the old Power PC chipped iMacs suffered from this capacitor plague. The problem has since been corrected but, like anything, it is possible that a cap in your system may have slide by quality control and now you see the results.
You may want to call AppleCare and see if on-site repair coverage is available for your system. Look at the Apple Support web page to send an Express Lane case with AppleCare to schedule getting a call from AppleCare. The number is 800-APL-CARE or the web site is: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

POP sound come out from air vent

Hi every mac user out there,
My MacBook pro 15 inch recently don't know why, start to have a pop sound out from the back of my MacBook pro's air vent, this started after I open the below case just for checking(because last time I saw a little tiny bug going inside!), after that I heard the pop sound, in early state, sound I quite loud so I think maybe is my hand or some other thing make it, then a few day ago, there still has a pop sound but just a small sound from the vent, after about 5min of usage it will show up, any idea?
Note:my mac does not has any dust inside the fans or the vent, I haven't do any battery calibration or any rmc or NVRAM reset recently, I not over use my mac only does when editing some movie and play game ,does this affect them?

I also have this problem with my Extreme Gamer Fatilty X-Fi. In 6 channel direct mode 5. works perfectly but if I switch to the SPDIF mode connected to that Creative Digital I/O addon thing the rear left and rear right sound comes out of the front right and front left. This is with the latest drivers. I tried a clean re-install of the drivers and apps using driver cleaner but the sound is still messed up.
I guess thats an improvement in for me. With Vista 64, SPDIF didn't even work at all till the more recent drivers, so I guess you could call it progress, creative style.
I am lucky I have little need for SPDIF with this card as its not a main source of movies/TV for me. This system is mostly used for gaming, and at least that works good. Had I needed this for a HTPC or something I would be very very pissed off. If I had paid for that DDL thing I would be livid having already paid for their $4 Digital adapter addon which is rendered worthless.

Burned CDs come out with static, and stop/skip. Why?

The CDs I've tried to burn come out with fuzzy static and pause momentarily at times. I have tried altering the writing speed (I've tried 1X, 4X, and "maximum possible") and playing the discs in the car, cd player, and computer (all produce the same result). I can hear the music, but with the fuzz and momentary pauses it's annoying to listen to. Also, the burned CDs play at a much softer volume level than, say, the radio in my car--so much so that I deafen myself whenever I change out the CDs and the radio kicks in.
What's going wrong? Is this an iTunes problem I can fix? The burner is new from Dell a year ago and never been used, so I don't think it's that. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Dell Latitude C840 (PP01X) Windows 2000

Try going to dell.com and download all updates for your system on there site, especailly firmware updates for the CD ROM and BIOs updates and chipset updates for the PC system.
If that doesn't fix it, goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>burn sub tab and UNCHECK "Sound Check" so they play louder
If needed we can check and see if the drive is in PIO mode instead of DMA. Does the PC lock up or get really slow when burning CDs?

G570 bought four months back - screen screw has come out from one side

Hi there,
I bought Ideapad G570 in June 2012 from Jumbo Electronics in Great India Place, Noida (UP). The Serial No is CBxxxxxxxx. Today I noticed that one of screws (through which lcd screen gets attached to the body) has come out of place and the laptop's screen is kind of hanging from one side. The product quality is pretty bad.
Anyway, I have got two queries:
1. How to avail on-site warranty support to get my laptop repaired?
2. When I checked about the warranty on your site through my serial no, it showed that my laptop's warranty expirtation date is 2013-04-26, which is less that a year from the date of purchase (3 June 2012). Could somebody explain me that?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Sound only comes out from the right ear/head phone. :((

My iTouch was working perfectly fine til it was connected to the school speaker for my dance. When I used it afterwards (with my headphones), the sound only came out from the right phone. I tried using my spare earphones and still no sound from the left. The headphones/earphones are working fine as I tested it with my laptop and mom's iPhone. So the real problem's with my iTouch!
What do I do? I tried syncing it to iTunes, even resetting it... but nothing! HELP. :((

If you connect your iPod with your computer, and if you can hear from both channels, that it is clearly something wrong with the earphone jack, there are few cases reported the dust in the earphone (metal parts?) causing the problem.
