  • How to reset the default monitor on Acer 2920, computer laptop think always connected to an external monitor

    Hello, I hope you can help me! I have a laptop Aspire 2920 with Windows Vista Home Edition O.S. It starts and works fine except that after I used it with an external monitor (a tv screen) on the possibility of using the external monitor, it only now starting to think that the monitor is the flat screen tv and doesn't recognize the normal screen of the laptop. The laptop screen is now "pixeled" and shows only like 2/3 of its total width. I checked in Control Panel and it has recorded as the 'normal' monitor flat screen, but I can't way a find to tell the computer that the monitor is the same as usual and not the flat screen tv. Thank you!!!

    Dear Lawrence,

    I ve solved the problem.

    Do you have your suggestion to reset and did not work, but keeping your idea, I hooked to an external monitor, mounted in Control Panel, remove the "non-existent" monitor in the device section.

    At this point, I had no image at all in the laptop and only the external monitor.

    Turn off the computer and then reset the power supply.

    Because the computer did not all other monitors, he then had to use the one by default with the default resolution, etc..

    Thanks, it was a great help!

    What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media.  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP.

  • Computer laptop white screen

    I have a computer laptop 'HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1115dx", which is about two weeks after the warranty, and the screen is empty.  I currently have an old crt monitor hooked up to it and everything works fine with the machine - just can't see the screen.  Will I need to replace the whole screen, or can I just replace the Ribbon/string to the display through the hinges to the main unit?  Any suggestions with where can I buy parts for this would be very useful as well.

    Thanks for your reply.  I found that the 3 m tape was broke the cable of the LCD when you take the cover at the back of the laptop screen.  I unplugged then re plugged the cable Ribbon and respected band of restraint and large all worked.

  • HP laptop, 2000 - 369WM: computer laptop not screen not work/laptop won't start not

    This laptop was headed for a few years, I'm not sure how much because it is not mine. My phone has been stalled next to the laptop and fell on it and the screen when it is dark. I tried to reboot it but the screen does not always work, it continued for nearly a day. Finally when I tried to restart, the laptop would begin to start but stop for two or three seconds in a power upward. Tried a hard reset, but it did nothing. After the hard reset the computer started, but froze on the Windows splash screen. Subsequently, he left always start after two or three seconds. Is stayed away from him for a week or so trying to figure out what was wrong with TI/where I could get help. Came back to it today to try and it works again, but this time he stopped on the dark screen and now it is a black screen with lines green all around him and a few blue lines. Do I have to take the phone to a technician nearby or is all hope lost for her?

    Nevermind, struck the laptop hard on the bottom and rebooted, it and launched the command prompt. More stupid way to fix a laptop, but it worked if Hey

  • Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

    My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

    HERE IS a GUIDEto solving the problems of USB such as described in the post.  See if any of these help.  As you have posted in the notebook section, when you do that a single step to cripple, also remove the battery after the computer shuts down, unplug charger, too.  Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds before feeding back.

    BTW: have you tried to delete all things under the rubric of the USB in the Device Manager, then reboot to allow Windows to reinstall the USB ports?

    Hello CPlume64. I understand that you are experiencing some problems getting your computer from starting properly.

    Have you noticed if the SHIFT CAPSLOCK or Numlock lights blink? If none of the two flashes then it indicate a specific problem. Thus, if one blinks then how many times it blinks?

    To start working on your issue I suggest that perform you a hard reset. This forces everything to be reset and can solve a wide range of issues. Try the following.

    1. Turn off the laptop.
    2. Remove the battery and AC power.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
    4. Replace the battery and AC power.
    5. Try to start Notepad and post the result.

    I'll keep an eye out for the results of this reset. I wish you a nice day!

    Hello
     
    1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
    2. do you get an error message/code?
    Follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.
    Step 1:
    Disconnect non-essential external devices and try to start.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Try last good known Configuration from the advanced boot options.

    If this does not help, because it works fine in safe mode, I would put your computer in a clean boot State in order to determine if the problem is related to a software conflict of third parties. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
     
    Note: Don't forget to restart your computer as usual.

  • HP 635 computer laptop blue screen at startup.

    I have important files on this laptop and while playing music this phone randomly cuts. I turned it back on and now ot support windows 7 in a few seconds and finally crashes with a blue screen.

    Then, I rebooted it and tried safe mode only to have nothing works. I tried to use ubuntu which usually works to remove the files that I need except the disk was not yet recognized until I chose to uninstall and do otherwise. I tried the recovery of windows 7 and it remains to do for some time and fails. I stuck inside another computer and for some reason any, it wouldn't start up, unless I plugged it in after that he began to start. This drive has never recognized. I finally tried new installation windows 7 as a last resort, but he then told me that it can not install the disk.

    I run hp diagnostics and I get 'Hard drive failure 1.' Is it possible possible to recover my files and get a new HDD without having to pay a ton of money to get everything back?

    HI Jeffreylbrown94:

    Thank you for your message.  I'm happy to help!

    I understand that you are getting the error 'Hard drive 1 fault.'.  This refers to a defect on the hard drive. I'll send "Troubleshooting Error Messages on a blue screen may occur during startup or Boot"  click here. You could try a Google search for some free or cheap data recovery software to recover your files.
