Computer problem-pavilions s3400f simply will not turn on

Hello

About two days ago my desktop PC, suddenly one morning just lights. I took a few hours, trading agreements, thinking that it was the rope that did not work but I have concluded that the power of the PC is not working, I'm not entirely sure and my warranty has expired.

It's a HP pavilion s3400f desktop, and my parents bought about three and a half years back. I called best buy to see what they think is the problem and they agree that they think that the problem is the power supply. That being said, they told me that they do not supply more slimline model and that I have to buy a new. I wonder if this is a common problem among those who have purchased this product? If so, what kind of power supplies are compatible with my computer.

Thank you for your help,

Christian Armstrong

PS: Please if you can, answer me by email as soon as possible (before my parents have a fit irritate me ), as I am unable to verify this site except all 2 days because of my schools limiting time with computers.

Christian, welcome to the forum.

I couldn't answer you using your email address, because the moderators removed for you protect.  However, the component replaced more in a computer's power supply (PSU).  This happens because of the emphasis on it every time we start the computer.  The power supply of the computer is only of 160W.  They can be very difficult to find.  However, here's a PSU upgrade that should work for you.  I never did any business with this company.  I suggest doing some research before buying their share.

    This laptop is used every day and worked perfectly until this morning.

  • K010 ENVY: my laptop will not turn off

    Hello

    When I shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume my laptop, it will die completely.

    All programs will be closed (when stop or restart) and I think that OS will also close. But the laptop will not turn off. Power LIGHT and fan will stay on.

    And when I try to Hibernate, everything is ok, but I have the same problem.

    Whenever I have to turn it off by holding the power button, otherwise the battery will be discharged.

    After manual turn off, when I turn it on again, everything works correctly:

    -If hibernation: OS will continue to last situation.

    -If start/stop: OS works normally without error or warning.

    After sleep, OS works from the beginning. Because the data stored in RAM and will be deleted after power off.

    Perhaps a portable automatic perevent equipment turned off. All the drivers are up to date.

    Is there a parameter/software to check and fix my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

  • Satellite Pro L100 - DVD will not turn even upward

    My friend gave me an old Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E 005009EN to look at. He acknowledges not or read the DVD. I tried using multimedia Nero, Cyberlink and VLC players, but they can't watch a DVD. A CD will play without a problem, but a DVD will not yet run abreast.

    When I look in my computer it says that a TSST Corp CD/DVD TS-L632M is installed, but when I look at the edge of the disc itself, it says DVD. R/RW with lightscribe? The software is also the original software yet.
    Since the downloads for this model of Toshiba page, I see that the TSST DVD - RAM drive was equipped initially to the laptop so I'm assuming that a DVD - RW was equipped afterwards?

    I find the hardware changes in device if Manager shows nothing. If I try to update the drivers found nothing? In desperation I tried to reinstall the drivers from the Toshiba site, but it does not help?
    If this is the case why Windows XP does not recognize a DVD - RW?

    If someone sees something I missed please?

    Hey,.

    Different laptops come with a different material maybe if the laptop was supplied with this player, but in my opinion it of important either.

    The fact is if DVD is not recognized it seems to be a hardware malfunction, but what you can do is cleaning the lens of the player with a Microfiber towel. Do it carefully you don't zero or destroy the lens (dust could be on the lens). After that he try again if it will recognize a DVD.

    Otherwise, the disc must be replaced and contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a compatible drive and replace it. :)

    Honestly, this sounds like a problem of carrier. Are you able to make/receive calls or send and receive text messages? I would first check with the carrier to make sure that your phone is still set up to use mobile data. Something was accidentally deleted when they merged your bills.

    I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

    If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.
