• Pavilion a350n trying to do work

  Here's a good head scratcher. I got what was supposed to be an A350n work. The memory and the hard drive had been removed. I bought (P2700, 512 MB) memory and the unit running. An endless series of long beeps. Read a number of forums with no firm answer. Here is what I tried:

  1. it was mentioned that a power supply can be problems. I replaced it with the same problem.

  2. deleted all devices e/s, cards and memory, yet a series of long beeps without end.

  3 replacement motherboard, not installed, remain a series of long beeps without end

  4 replace the processor (the two mobo), nothing installed, yet a series of enless beep

  In addition, the unit powers on as soon as the power cord is installed without pressing the power switch. With the cd rom drive connected, it seems that the unit is set to zero because the drawer opens and closes with each beep. I bought enough parts to build another unit, but both have the same symptoms and may, if I can get at least a unit running.

  Thank you

  Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.

  If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.

  The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.

  Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.

  It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.

• My HP Pavilion a350n does not either of my DVD players or CD.

  It's a weird thing! The 1 Apr 09 I bought two new combo CD/DVD internal LITE-ON writers that support DVD + r DL/DVD + / DVD + RW / DVD - RW / DVD-RAM / CD - R / CD - RW writing.

  The DVD write speed was an ardent 22 X! This is what appealed to me. This along with the fact that I could copy from one disk to the other DVDs!

  I'm no dummy when it comes to computers. I've built a lot!

  My problem is that under "MY COMPUTER" and "WINDOWS EXPLORER" readers are not displayed. BUT they appear in the BIOS and the splash screen.

  Nothing happens when a disc of both types is placed in the drive! I even tried to switch back to the original disks, it was bad originally, and still, it does not solve the problem. I ran "REGISTRY MECHANIC" and it does nothing!

  I've heard of an April fool virus but I use the latest version of AVG anti-virus and my system is clean.

  I have close to 200 gigs of info on this machine and reloading is not something that I am crazy to do!

  Is there anyone out there with any suggestions?

  Check the Device Manager. I think you are getting a code 39 problem of registry filter driver.

  Check the link below on how to remove the filters of upper/lower case for the cd/dvd drive and then uninstall the driver from Device Manager and then restart the computer, and should work unless the drive itself has mechanical problems.

• HP Image Zone Update for HP Image Zone Plus?

  I have a Hp Pavilion a350n. With a HP Photosmart 2610 installed. The HP Image Zone is the 4.5 version, (which contains my version 045.004.157.000 Images, Edit version 045.004.157.000, version 3,0,0,10 of the picture library, version of the creative projects 045.004.157, HP Image Share 045.004.157.000 version) in the downloads and updates for the ngn350 section (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228 & lc = en & cc = us & dlc = en & product = 371643 & lang = en) there is an update for HP Image Zone Plus (large enough 254 M), the upgrade is the file 'sp26422.exe., published on 30/11/04, Version 4.2.3  I thought that it would be upgrading my area of Image to Image Zone Plus. This is not the case. In my view, he says that I had need of HP Image Zone version 4.7 or later or something like that. I'm not under the HP/Windows delivered software came with the computer (a long story) so I have Windows XP Pro with the printer driver (solid line). The printer was purchased in December 04. Is it possible to upgrade the software of HP Image Zone for HP Image Zone Plus? Or update the current HP Image Zone 4.7 and update Image Zone Plus? Any ideas would be appreciated.

• Bad CPU controls

  I have a Pavilion A350N that won't power on.  I can turn on and it will turn off after 30 seconds.  I removed the ATX12V1 (2 X 2) plug on the montherboard.  In my view, that the cable supplying power to the CPU.  When it is deleted, the system remains standing and not power.  No video and looks like the disc is rotating.  Is that mean that the CPU is fried?  Before you go out and get one, is there another check that I can to make sure it's a bad CPU?  I'm not familiar with the power on the card or if it should always have power on it or it comes on after a while.  It would be worth my while to control the tension on the plug (anyone know what pin voltages are?) to see the voltage is present, or stops?

  I would try another PSU... Looks like the power supply is a failure and cannot provide enough power to power the machine.

• Material of restoration to the original state of the manufacturer will make legitimate recovery discs work?

  Hello.

  Back story:
  I tried to create a system to dual-boot with Windows XP and Windows Me on a PC from Hewlett Packard, model a350n, to facilitate access to the old and more recent examples of software in my computer.  Operating systems that are installed properly, however, when running Windows Me, I noticed that the system has detected a large number of hardware problems and a number of missing drivers. I have no problems the first time I installed Windows Me, and I realized that this must have been the existence of partition recovery console Hewlett Packard, who was at the current time, where the Windows Me operating system can locate the necessary drivers for the PC to operate.  Since the deletion of this partition (which I foolishly declared unnecessary from there), problems of hardware in the BIOS, PCI slots, sound cards, etc. exist in abundance.

  Issue to be addressed:
  The main concern is this: I have no legitimate recovery CDs that I received directly at HP, but when I use them, even if they have worked in the past, I thought that the discs do not support my HP model.  I've made several changes to the hardware (for example, replace the graphics card, some CD-Rom drives, additional memory, along with other things).  Cancellation and so restore the material to the original state of the computer will CDs recognizes the HP model once more?

  Thank you very much!

  UPDATE: I tried to return the PC to its original state by removing the extra material and restore that which has been deleted.  We had another similar model of HP with similar CD - RW, CD - R and DVD - ROM drives, so I'm only 95% some that I replaced those that actually are came with this PC.  It would make a difference?  The result is that the recovery disks, which are legitimately HP, not home-made copies, and which were used successfully in the past in this same model, has not recognized the model of PC than they were designed for, even if they are a match.  This may be the cause?  And what can I do about it?  My backup files can be done quickly and efficiently, if I don't mind having to do something eventually destructive, as long as I get those recovery CD to do their job.  It is essential that I restore the PC to its factory condition.

  Thank you!

  Hello Taran_Wanderer,

  Unfortunately there is little that can be done on the side Microsoft.  It's HP to provide you with the disks appropriate for your machine model.

  You can look in an update of the BIOS from HP, but honestly, I don't know if this will have an effect on the question of whether or not the HP recovery disks will work.

  Best regards

• Printer not detected by the computer

  I have a HP Photosmart c4599 printer and an HP Pavilion a350n computer running Windows XP service pack 3.  I installed a new hard drive to boot, and inadvertently had my printer connected to the computer before installing the driver.  Now, I know that shouldn't be done.  My computer does not find the printer at all, I could find the cause of the problem but not the solution.  How can I get my computer to find the printer?

  Finally solved the problem - I bought an Epson.  No more HP for me.

• Windows XP corrupted - without disks

  I have a HP A350N XP desktop. He gave me a reliable service for many years. Recently, the computer got a virus - Sasser worm - which finally forced me to make a slight recovery of the C drive, using Windows recovery on the partitioned D drive. I was able to back up all personal files, but finally decided to start over with the C drive and reformat completely. Windows Recovery itself was no longer working and of course I had no discs containing the application files and it my original XP. In the end, I reformatted the C drive using DOS commands and purchased a full copy of XP to load... Now the computer does nothing. When I try to load my new copy of XP, it begns to do and then said: "Windows checks the hardware on the system." The computer does for a minute or two, but then nothing happens. All of my devices were, such as scanner, printer, etc., have been disconnected. I'm fairly certain that the version corrupted my original XP came with the PC file remains on the partitioned D drive. How can I get the computer to recognize tha new verson of Windows XP?

• HP Updater does not update?

  I'm trying to update updated HP with sp40926.exe. I use an HP Pavilion a350n. This new update (03/12/08) is listed in the section update for this computer. HP update did not work satisfactorily for some time. See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Install&thread.id=59. Everything seems to start OK but ends with the update has failed. message (9994). Any ideas would be appreciated. I am running Windows XP Pro SP 3, IE 7. HP support was no help with the other problems. Thanks in advance.

  Hi notusedupyet,

  I think I'm getting a better understanding of what might happen. It doesn't sound like you have two contradictory versions of HP Update. ".msi" is an abbreviation of Microsoft Installer... so basically the Microsoft install app used by the HP software to install on a PC is confused because two versions of the software are similar but contradictory... it is possible that your PC somehow some of the software HP preserved original Update after have downgraded to XP (although it seems strange that it would) and then installing the printer software you get a conflict.

  Here's what I'd do:

  Download the full version of the software of the printer (includes HP update utility) - the basic software is really mostly just the drivers and does not have other HP tools and software.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?OS=228&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=421139

  Then I remove all previous versions of the HP Update software and then run the MS Installer Clean-up utility:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

  And then I would install the new complete version of HP printing software.

  Let us know how it goes.
