What is Kudos?

What is Kudos point? 
Who should get my Kudos points and what does it add to me when I receive one?
BTW: "Do you Kudos?"

Hi Samsen!
Great Question.  Kudos are a content rating system that let you acknowledge messages you think are the most useful or important.
When you give Kudos to a message, you are offering a thumbs-up for good content and a pat on the back to the message  author.  Your Kudos help to boost the value of certain messages and enhance the reputation of their authors.  Eventually, authors with high Kudos ratings have a better reputation on the forum and will be seen by the community as trusted sources of information.
We encourage our forum members to give Kudos on posts that are beneficial to the community and provide helpful information to users.

  • What are kudos

    On Skype community

    HI, Simonenn, and welcome to the Community!
    Let us start with definining what the word "kudos" means.
    Courtesy of http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kudos
    ku·dos
    1
    [koo-dohz, -dohs, -dos, kyoo-]
    noun (used with a singular verb)
    honor; glory; acclaim: He received kudos from everyone on his performance.
    Origin:
    1825–35; irregular transliteration of Greek kŷdos
    Usage note
    In the 19th century, kudos1 entered English as a singular noun, a transliteration of a Greek singular noun kŷdos meaning “praise or renown.” It was at first used largely in academic circles, but it gained wider currency in the 1920s in journalistic use, particularly in headlines: Playwright receives kudos. Kudos given to track record breakers. Kudos is often used, as in these examples, in contexts that do not clearly indicate whether it is singular or plural; and because it ends in -s, the marker of regular plurals in English, kudos has come to be widely regarded and used as a plural noun meaning “accolades” rather than as a singular mass noun meaning “honor or glory.”
    "Kudos" here in our Community provide a way for Community members to show appreciation and thanks for a particular post or its author.
    From our Community Guidelines
    13. Appreciate others
    Show your gratitude to those who have helped you.  If you find other member helpful please give kudos or accept their answer as a solution. Your kudos will also help to boost the value of certain posts and enhance the reputation of their authors.
    Thank you for asking!

  • 24 Great Ideas from Idea Exchange for you to Kudos

    There are 1140 ideas on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange right now. That's a lot of ideas, and it doesn't even count the RT or FPGA exchanges. Reading through all of them is something most of you can't spend time doing. Some of the ideas quickly garner a lot of Kudos, and those jump to the top of the lists and get attention from NI. Others are good, but they languish, lost in the noise.
    I have read them all, generally by staying up-to-date on the forum ever since its inception. I kudos'd many as I went. Over the weekend, I went through all of the ideas I had kudos'd and picked out a set that I think a lot of customers would want but that don't have the high Kudos ratings. Maybe these got posted on a weekend or holiday. Maybe the title is a bit misleading and you didn't bother to read it. Or maybe you've just stopped reading the Idea Exchange because you couldn't keep up with the wash of words fellow wire workers are writing. Perhaps this simplified menu will be a bit easier to browse.
    To be clear: I'm not including any of the ideas that already have high Kudos counts. Those are great ideas, but they've already got their time in the sun. These are the little quiet ideas that I think might make a big impact on your productivity, your VI's functionality or your VIs performance. All of these had fewer than 100 Kudos when I made this list. Full disclosure: Two ideas on the list (12 & 23) are ones I submitted to the Exchange. I think they warrant being on the list, but maybe I'm biased because they happen to affect the areas of LV I use most. You be the judge... :-)

    A good example is the fact that one of the most popular ideas ever was the idea to adjust the design of the boolean constant.  Altenbach, who came up with that idea, have received less kudos for other ideas that I'm sure would give him (and us) much higher benefits. Popularity and greatness are very often two different things.
    Although I get your general point, having used LV 2010 in beta for the last few months, the improvement of readability of diagrams brought by the boolean constant change cannot be understated. Tons of VIs have arrays of boolean constants on them, have boolean constants squeezed into small corners, etc, and the redesign has helped A LOT.
    Speaking to your general point -- my goal was to find low-ranked ideas that I felt would have significant developer impact and give people a second chance to review those ideas. Are there other ideas among the 1000 that are worth doing? Sure. I tried to find a broad enough set that people could actually make a meaningful choice of what to kudos (any fewer and it would be akin to "hey, everyone, come vote for this particular idea"). And it does rely upon my opinion -- though I tried to use my professional opinion as someone who regularly hears user feedback to promote ideas that I think users would generally like, as opposed to my personal opinion as a LV developer to improve the areas of LV that I personally use a lot.
    I know that customers like it when NI is responsive to its demands. I know that NI knows this and so is proactively trying to address concerns that make it high on the Idea Exchange. LV 2010 is coming out in August. If you look at the ideas that are tagged "In Beta", you can see the responsiveness of NI. As we start work on the next version of LV (or rather, full time work, since future versions of LV are always already in work -- we are a parallel language in so many ways), we're going to go find the next batch of ideas to implement. But I also know that there can be user fatigue with the Idea Exchange's massive amount of content. That fatigue can lead to a strange situation where NI addresses the high flying concerns and, users are still left feeling they didn't quite get what they wanted, but they maybe can't say why because, after all, NI implemented the high kudos ideas. I cherry picked some ideas that, if implemented, I think would get a lot of people saying, "Yes, LV is now better" as a way of avoiding some of that fatigue effect. Is it a list of earthshattering ideas that revolutionize LV? No. It is a list of incremental improvements that should affect lots of people and make LV recognizably better to its users.

  • Kudos

    Why so few "Kudos"?  I see a lot of good posts, answers, and problem solutions being given in this forum, but few "Kudos".
    From the help section:
    What are Kudos?

    +1, Kudos is a nice way of show appreciation to a users assistance and it also helps to allow users to know that the information the user gave helped with solving the issue.  I have seen a number of post that a user ask for a answer and a solution was posted and the thread  just stops which usually meant the solution fixed the problem but without acknowledgement it is unsure if it helped at all.
    Another nice thing would be when a solution is found and the issue is resolve it would also help for the user to mark post solved.
    Thanks for these suggestions.  I've created a signature incorporating them.  Don't know if it will do any good, but it's worth a try.  I've tried to make it pleasant and instructive, but I have a habit of coming across a little too pedantic (had to look that up in the dictionary).    Feedback is welcome.

    Thanks for replying. I now have the solution as you can see from the thread.
    I do have another problem. I want to send emails via my 5800 using the email client that came with the phone originally (under MESSAGING). I can receive them but not send them and yet if I use the email client which I have downloaded from Nokia (icon @ sign) I can both send and receive ok. My provider is Virgin Mobile (T-Mobile).

  • What is POP, POP3, and IMAP When I Setup My Email Account in the HP ePrint App?

    I have done as much research as I can do in regards to setting up the HP ePrint App Email Accounts.  If you do not see your email information listed here, feel free to post it below or contact your internet service provider, phone or email company, or whomever else that might know this. I am certain there are many more that could be added but this is a rather extensive list.  I hope you find what you need to finish setting up your email applications.
    I have noticed information differs from website to website but as I have learned over time, with domain masking and companies buying out other companies, I just researched all the information I could find and that way if one of the hostnames or ports don’t work, then you can continue to view further into this page to see if that information is the same. At that point, if you can’t find what you need here, I would say you have done all that you can do before contacting the appropriate support team for your email information.  
    Most of the links are active and the ones listed below should send you directly the pages I pulled this information from but only a few of them were from the actual support sites themselves (Apple support was vague, as well as Microsoft, Macintosh, and commonly used ISPs). Save yourself some time by searching here first. I hope you find what you need in this one-stop-shop and if you get an email address not listed here please post it below and I will add it to this original document.
    Lastly, as this information is from forum-based and other unofficial websites, I would like to add that this is a copy/paste/edit-for-easy-reading document I created in my spare time. This is a very long document so I do recommend using the search and find quick keys to search for the email you need but the top part of this has definitions as to what servers, ports, and hostnames are and the basic setup in case you need to know what these options are used for and what they mean.
    Below are the most common settings needed to set up most POP3/IMAP Email Clients or Devices:
    The following information below can be found at http://www.swestcom.com/Support/q4.htm
    “What is POP3?
    Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard mail protocol used to receive emails from a remote server to a local email client. POP3 allows you to download email messages on your local computer and read them even when you are offline."
    "What is IMAP?
    The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a mail protocol used for accessing email on a remote web server from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most commonly used Internet mail protocols for retrieving emails. Both protocols are supported by all modern email clients and web servers."
    "Main difference between IMAP and POP3:
    The POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox. In contrast, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by multiple users."
    "What is SMTP?
    Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. SMTP uses TCP port 25 or 2525 and sometimes you can have problems to send your messages in case your ISP has closed port 25 (How to check if port 25 is open?). To determine the SMTP server for a given domain name, the MX (Mail eXchange) should have more information."
    "When setting up:
    POP - choose POP and the incoming server port will default to 110
    IMAP - choose IMAP and the incoming server port will default to 143
    All other settings are the same.
    Username = [email protected]
    Password = the password you set up when you configured your mail box
    Incoming Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com
    Outgoing Mail Server= smtp.yourdomain.com
    Outgoing Server Requires Authentication (typically found in advanced options or settings)
    Do NOT check "Log on Using Secure Password Authentication"
    Use the same Username and Password as Incoming or select "Use Same Settings as Incoming"
    Outgoing Server Port= 2525 or 587This is subject to change based on the individual preferences of your ISP"
    Note - Substitute your actual domain name for "yourdomain.com" and substitute the first part of your email address for "user."
    Email Ports
    For networks, a port means an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here are the default email ports for:     
    POP3 - port 110
    IMAP - port 143
    SMTP - port 25
    HTTP - port 80
    Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465
    Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL) - port 585
    IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
    Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995.

    Have you ever wished you could use your AOL email account with something else, something more powerful, something more convenient than AOL, something like Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, or The Bat!? Thanks to the wonders of IMAP, you can.
    If you set up your AOL email account in any email client capable of IMAP, you can receive and send messages easily. Even the AOL folders — Spam, Saved, Sent Items and your Trash will be there automatically. Of course, you can also use POP to fetch incoming mail in an uncomplicated fashion.

    Set Up POP or IMAP E-Mail on an Android G1 How do I set up POP or IMAP E-Mail on an Android Device?
    From the home screen, tap Applications > Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Manual setup.
    On the Incoming settings screen, in the Protocol drop-down menu, select IMAP or POP3. We suggest you select IMAP because it supports more features.
    In the Email address and Username text boxes, enter your full e-mail address, for example [email protected], and then select Next. Your user name is the same as your e-mail address.
    In the Password text box, enter your password.
    In the IMAP server or POP3 server text box, enter your IMAP or POP server name. For information about how to look up the server settings you need to complete this step and other steps in this procedure, see “How do I find the server settings” later in this topic.
    In the Security type drop-down menu and Server port text boxes, specify the POP or IMAP settings that you looked up in step 5, and then tap Next. Your e-mail application will check your IMAP or POP settings.
    On the Outgoing server settings screen, the Login required option should be selected for you, and the Username and Password text boxes should be filled in.
    In the SMTP server text box, enter the SMTP server name you looked up in step 5.
    In the Security type drop down menu and Server port text box, specify the SMTP settings that you located in step 5, and click Next.
    In the Account name, text box, enter a name for your account (for example “Office 365 email” or “Work email”). In the Your name text box, enter the name you want displayed when you send e-mail to others (for example “Tony Smith”), and then select Finish Setup.
    What else do I need to know?
    If your e-mail account is the type that requires registration, you must register it the first time you sign in to Outlook Web App. Connecting to your e-mail account through a mobile phone will fail if you haven't registered your account through Outlook Web App. After you sign in to your account, sign out. Then try to connect using your mobile phone. For more information about how to sign in to your account using Outlook Web App, see How to Sign In to Your E-Mail Using a Web Browser. If you have trouble signing in, see FAQs: Sign-in and Password Issues or contact the person who manages your e-mail account.

    The following information is according to a forum comment at the bottom of this webpage concerning HOTMAIL and mail server settings:
     “As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.”
    Mail Server Settings for Hotmail using the Microsoft Outlook Connector
    If you are using Microsoft Outlook & the Outlook Connector, you can define your Hotmail account just like any regular POP3 email account:
    Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3 . live. com  (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
    Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) -smtp . live . com (SSL enabled, port 25)
    Additional information from this website has not been confirmed or validated as of yet but it does include additional information or perhaps corrected information. If the above steps do not fix the problem with setting up an email account for the HP Apps then read on:
    Yahoo! Mail Settings
    Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
    Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
    Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
    POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
    Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
    Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
    · Google GMail Settings
    The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
    Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
    Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)
     MSN Mail Settings
    The MSN email service allows you to use the MSN POP3 and SMTP servers to access your MSN mailbox.
    MSN Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.email.msn.com (port 110, using Secure Password Authentication - SPA)
    MSN Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.email.msn.com (select "My outgoing server requires authentication")
     Lycos Mail Settings
    The Lycos Mail Plus service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Lycos mailbox.
    Lycos Mail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.lycos.com (port 110)
    Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.mail.lycos.com or use your local ISP SMTP mail server
     AOL Mail Settings
    The AOL email service is a web based system, designed for managing your AOL mailbox via HTTP IMAP access. Unlike Hotmail, you can use any email client to access your AOL mailbox, as long as it supports the IMAP protocol.
    AOL Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) - imap.aol.com (port 143)
    AOL Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.aol.com or use your local ISP SMTP mail server
     Mail.com Mail Settings
    The Mail.com email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Mail.com mailbox.
    Mail.com Mail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop1.mail.com (port 110)
    Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
     Netscape Internet Service Mail Settings
    The Netscape e-mail system is web-based, which means you can access their e-mail from any Internet connection. Netscape Internet Service also supports AOL® Communicator, Microsoft® Outlook, Microsoft® Outlook Express, and other POP3 e-mail software. The outgoing mail server needs SSL support, so make sure your email client software supports SSL connections over the SMTP protocol.
    Netscape Internet Service Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.3.isp.netscape.com (port 110)
    Netscape Internet Service Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.isp.netscape.com (port 25, using a secure SSL connection)
    Tiscali Mail Settings
    The Tiscali email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Tiscali mailbox.
    Tiscali Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.tiscali.com (port 110)
    Outgoing Mail Server - use your local ISP SMTP mail server
    Freeserve Mail Settings
    The Freeserve email service allows you to use POP3 and SMTP servers for accessing your Freeserve mailbox.
    Freeserve Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.freeserve.com (port 110)

    Iphone POP/IMAP Setup
    Although I am sure it is out of scope for HP to assist with iPhone setup with mail, contact, calendars, etc so here is a PDF with pictures and a walkthrough from:
    https://www.millikin.edu/it/services/HandH/Documents/iPhone%20IMAP%20POP%20Setup.pdf 
    This hyperlink seems inactive so you may have to copy and paste for a direct walkthrough of this comprehensive pdf.
    Lastly if the above information is incorrect or does help, here is one last website to provide you with a complete list that I found located at att.com to assist their customers trying to setup emails in conjunctions with their apps.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

    You can also run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to test it. Neither that nor a PRAM reset will affect your data. I suspect if it finds it the result will be a graphics card failure. You can also take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for professional evaluation. IMHO if it's the graphics card you may want to consider replacing the computer. FWICT it appears to be 4+ years old so it's probably time.

  • HP "Support" does not know how to perform "regionalization reset", now what?

    I buy a dual voltage OfficeJet 4620 in Germany in Ferbruary 2013.
    NOWHERE in the product literature does it mention the ink cartridges are regionalized (defeats the purpose of even manufacturing a 110-220v device! But I digress).
    I move to Florida in June and yesterday my black ink begins to run out.
    The printer needs the "regionalization reset" which can only be performed by HP support, as stated by their own webpage:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02558798
    Another description of it here:
    http://www.fixya.com/support/t156381-change_region_code_ink_cartridges
    I call HP support, and waste over an hour and a half with a girl in the Phillipines until she finally tells me that I need a complete set of USA ink cartridges in order to perfom the procedure (which appears to be not true, you do not need them to reset the printer, but rather it appears you need them simply if you wish to print anything after the reset was performed if for no other reason but to verify that the reset was successful). She claims HP support will call me this morning at 11AM EST. They did not call.
    I call HP "Support" at 1130 EST and go through the wickets with them again. This time the girl does not know what to do and is clearly completely unknowledgeable about the product, mush less how to troubleshoot it, and instead she is simply following a script. Another hour wasted. After being put on hold for the 4th or 5th time for 15 minutes, I simply hang up. (Realizing later that this is an intentional strategy.)
    I call again. Now I am speaking to some guy in India. He does not know what he is doing either and tries to guide me through the support menu on the printer itself, but his script does not match the menu options on the printer. Back to the 15 minute intervals of hold broken up by him saying "one minute please sir while I verify some information". Another hour wasted, until I finally begin to realize that none of these people know what to do.
    Still I call back and get another guy who leads me into the Support menu (press the return button 4 times to access this menu) . The he has me go to the Reports Menu and select the "print mech button tap" option, which prints out a 2 page "Printer Hardware" printout. He asks me to "give him the numbers on the document, but the document has all sorts of numbers on it from serial numbers to product numbers to other numbers with labels that are simply abbreviations. I ask him which numbers he needs from the two pages full of numbers, and back on hold I go for 20 minutes. He comes back and says "the long number, there should be a long number". Well the longest number on the document is the Serial number which I have already given during the initial information polling he did and so I ask him if he needs it again. Back on hold i go for another 20 minutes. Now the 15-20 minute hold cycle resumes, with him "checking something" and he will "be right back". Eventually he simply clicks over to see if I am still on the line and immediately puts me back on hold without saying anything. I put my phone on speaker and I wait him out, having already wasted an entire morning and half my afternoon. 
    Now this was the best part....HE BEGINS TO PRETEND LIKE HE IS HAVING MICROPHONE PROBLEMS AND CANNOT HEAR ME (yes I know, what does his microphone have to do with hearing me, I had the same thought). It is obvious he has simply either taken his headset off his head or moved the mic far away from his mouth and is pretending he can't hear me and that he will call me back and asks for my number. I ask him how is he going to hear me tell him my number (which by the way he already took at the beginning of the conversation) and he continues his ruse. So I hang up. It is obvious he doesnt know what to do and no one else there is going to help me.
    Now I call back tonight around 930PM EST, and I get the Phillipines again. I go trough the whole polling phase with the girl and explain to her that I need the regionalization reset performed, and that all I need is to know which numbers of my printer to give to HP Support so that they can give me the code I need to reset this device. I politely tell her that I understand if she does not know what to do or understand what the procedure is and that I will not be angry with her if she is simply honest and tells me so, but that I want her to tell me if there is anyone there where she works who will definitely know how to do the reset, a supervisor or actual technical advisor, anybody. She is friendly and honest and says this is the frst time she has heard of this and she will ask what to do. Back on hold for 5 or 10 minutes. She claims she is looking in her "resources" for the way to do this. Nothing. I ask her to please stop and get her supervisor, she claims she is checking with her supervisor and that they are "checking the resources" for the procedure to reset regionalization. I foolishly think we are making progress.
    After 20 minutes of her constantly telling me she is checking her resources, even after I have told her what the procedure entails and that all she needs to do is find the procedure and tell me which numbers it requires from the device itself in order to provide the reset code, I tell her to stop what she is doing and put her supervisor on the phone. She stalls. She says she is sorry but they have never heard of this procedure before and that she will schedule me a call-back for tomorrow. YEAH RIGHT. I ask her WHO is going to call me tomorrow? She replies that it will be them and that they will have the answer. I tell her that I already heard that from them the night before and I dont have another day to be wasted. I tell her to put her supervisor on the phone and I want the name of whoever is in charge of her office. She tries to ignore me and continues to ask for my phone number (which she already has). I press her for the name of who is in charge and she finally claims "Peter" is the supervisor. I tell her to put "Peter" on the phone. 10 minutes of hold and later a guy picks up the line, claims he is "Peter" and asks how I am doing. I politely say I am well and I ask him for his last name. He asks why I need his last name. i repeat my question, "What is your last name Peter?"..........his reply? "hello, sir? I am having trouble hearing you, can you hear me?" He begins to play with the microphone and puts me on hold. Each time he picks up and asks if I am there I immediately ask him for his last name, to which he resumes the ruse that he cannot hear me. I stay on the line. At this point it appears that HP must have some sort of policy where their "Support" personnel are not allowed to hang up the phone first, perhaps it is even tracked as a half-assed internal method of "Quality Assurance", and these people know it and this is why they will leave you on hold for ever and wait until you hang up. So, I wait Peter out for about 10 minutes, I am not on hold because there is no music, the microphone is simply muted. I tell him i know he is there and can hear me, and that i know he cannot hang up first, and then he promptly hangs up.
    SO, my question....
    NOW WHAT?
    How does anything get escalated at HP when their overseas "Support" doesn't know what to do?
    I live in Miami and there is a corporate headquarters there for HP Latin America. I am thinking of walking right into the lobby and finding someone with authority, but in all honesty I just want the d*** printer region reset so I can use these ink cartridges I already bought and opened.
    Suggestions?

    Hi,http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03149924&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en#N89
    First, I am sorry to see your experience, however be aware that this forum is a peer-to-peer community and not a direct contact with HP.
    To clarify, the product specification do list the ink cartridges regionalization, the specifications itself reffer to HP Suresupply to locate the ink cartridges for your region, as well as the following document which clearly state that information:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03239171&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en...
    Firs be sure to have the latest software installed prior contacting HP support, which should be listed as 28
    You may find that information listed in the following document (Check the How can I tell which driver version I have? section), if you have any older version be sure to uninstall it and install the latest software, as listed within the same document:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03149924&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en#N89
    If you need, the latest software can be found below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108821-3&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Next ensure you have any of the 564 ink cartridges, once the printer being reset it require all the 4 ink cartridges to work
    Finally check the private messages I sent you prior contacting HP support , the envelope icon at the top-right part of that screen.
    The ensure you use the correct contact details lease double chekc it below:

  • G510 install Win 8.1 on a smaller SSD. What files to copy.

    Yesterday I got a new G510. The HD is not in good condition after dropping it.
    I wanted to swap the 1TB HD 5200 rpm  anyways for my 120 GB SSD.
    I can still get at the files on the original HD. What files and/or partitions do I need to copy to the SSD to get a clean Win 8.1 installation after inserting it in the Laptop?  Right now I have both the old HD and the new SSD on another pc. So I can use Reflect.
    Please give the name of those partitions. Not the Drive letter. Because the drive is outside the laptop and the drive letters are different in a system with more HD's.
    What is the minimum of files to copy to get a basic Win 8.1 without bloatwear?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    hi EricLagerstrom,
    The partition table of the G510 is most likely similar to this picture.
    AFAIK, it will not be an easy task to perform a clean installation of windows 8.1 on the SSD using the recovery image on the 1TB HDD as its a preconfigured OEM image (OS + Lenovo drivers, apps, and other preloaded softwares).
    You can try to look into the recovery partition (last partition - approx 20GB), look for an install.esd file, convert it to install.wim and rebuild it without the preloaded softwares and try to re-image it on the SSD.
    - Link to picture
    As an alternative, you can clone or migrate the HDD to the SSD and just uninstall the softwares that you don't like (without affecting system functionality).
    Guides:
    OS Migration (for Samsung SSD)
    OS Migration (using Paragon Backup & Recovery Home)

    Hi,
    For many 17" (or 17.3") machines such as Envy 17, dv,  Pavilion 17 .... you can add a second HDD (my old loan dv7 has two HDD's and my current loan Envy 17 also has 2 HDD's). You would need the following kit:
