• Cartridge door does not open

  I have a Photosmart HP 5510 printer.  I need to replace the black ink cartridge.  I turned on the printer,

  but for some reason, I am only able to open the printer a couple of inches.  I can't open the door completely

  replace the cartridge.  When I lift on the door, he reads the door is open, but it does not allow me to open the door

  completely.  It feels like it is locked and I don't want to force open.  This is the first time for me to change the

  Ink cartridge.

  If please advise me on what I can or should do.

  Much appreciated,

  John

  I solved the problem myself.  When the power went off, I gave the coverage a bit of a tug and its opening.  I was able to

  to replace my black ink cartridge.  I guess since the lid has been opened, that often, it was difficult to

  Open.  I'm glad that this was not a problem of hinge.

• Tempting desperately to open the Dimension E521 CD-Rom drive does not open. Anyone know the solution?

  I tried all the solutions given by the computer itself nothing doesn't.  It seems that it will open up and then stops.  I have the green light as I usually do, but it flashes not stable.  I really need to use this player.  There is nothing in the drive to get stuck.  Is that someone out there has had this problem and how they solve this problem?

  First of all, try to open Windows Explorer, click right on the optical drive icon and select eject.

  Another option is to hold the eject button in (gently) in electric biking your system.  Take your finger on the button the moment where he begins to open.  In addition, you are allowed to try and hold the drawer open if she tries to close the bottle.  There are generally micro-switches that detect it and put an end to the attempt to close the plateau or the door.

  You can also get the emergency eject hole somewere around the door (sometimes under a bezel).  It should work with the power on or off, but I do it with the power turned off.  (Paste a conductor in a piece of electronic equipment of power on seems a recipe for disaster to me.)  The hole is the diameter of a large paper clip (the favorite :) tool.  Succession the wire out and push to the right .  There should be some slight as resistance it UN-engages the latch and starts sliding drawer open.  At this point, you should be able to get out the drawer/tray by hand.

• my computer makes a plaintive sound, he has not done before and since then the cd door does not open, I close it out but still makes noise

  the noise is like a high-pitched moan

  Hello Boomer09,

  Thank you for your message.  This sounds like something is stuck in your CD/DVD.  Most of the models have a small hole at the front.  You can usually use a paperclip (or something of this size) to push through the hole and the drawer opens manually.  If it is stuck, you can open the drawer and eliminate the problem.  Otherwise, it could be a hardware failure and you will need to replace it.  You always have the possibility to open your computer and remove the power cables to your drive.  This will stop the sound, but you will not be able to use the drive.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
  See you soon

• Install Win XP 64-bit on Dell Dimension 8400

  Hi all

  I want to install Windows XP Professional 64-bit on Dell Dimension 8400 (64 bit PC). But I don't know what "SATA Operation" mode to choose. However, when I tried with "RAID Autodetect / AHCI", "RAID Autodetect / ATA ' or 'RAID ON', I could not install because there was an error message saying that the hard drive not found: (.) But I know that the hard drive works fine. I note that there is another option "combination".

  1. can you please anyone suggest me the correct installation with the correct Sata Mode? Please note that I basically need to install Windows XP Professional 64-bit only, and I don't have a floppy as well.

  2. in addition, I don't have a company CD for drivers or operating system. I can upload them in the DELL site with serial number of the PC. But I noticed that there are many readers for the same category, for example: 12 drivers for the video. How to select the corresponding drivers exactly between all for this particular PC?

  Although I noticed similar/alternative problems addressed in this forum, but I could not find an adequate solution to these answers.

  Thank you!!!

  Frey

  Since the drive was part of the front table, it can automatically start (should be able to confirm to CTRL-I), but if not, then you need to start manually (made in CTRL-I, or even the operating system management utility).

  You can also get another cable... they are usually no more than $2-3 to any computer parts store.

• Dell Dimension 8400 and Windows 7?

  Hello

  Anyone had any experience with installing Windows 7 in an older Dell Dimension 8400 with 2 GB of Ram?

  Will it work?

  Thanx

  Mike

  Not on an 8400, but on a XPS G4 with 3 GB of RAM - which is just an amateur version of the 8400 from the XPS gaming PC line.  Windows 7 installed with no driver needed and worked like a dream for almost a year now.  The only thing is the game on the Z port Audigy sound card is not supported by Windows 7 (but the sound itself card works fine), was not a big problem for me.  Since W7 will eat a Go just to stay alive, 2 GB may be enough if you don't do any substance really hungry as core memory hard games, video editing, modeling, etc.  My kids play Age of Mythology all the time and my wife is a photographer - she is its main user, and rarely it strikes a wall at 3 GB.

• Dell Dimension 8400 Reset

  I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with 3.5 GB of RAM on a 32-bit processor with Windows XP and a 500 GB HARD drive. I installed Ubuntu a while ago (worst decision ever) and was with the option for dual boot. However, as soon as I switch to XP one day, he came like a black screen with a flashing underscore white at the top left. I was wondering what to do if I can get back to Windows XP, or even Windows 7.

  You can try eBay. There are XP OEM drives for ~ $20 there. If you buy a disk to reinstall Dell Windows XP which has exactly the same version of XP was preinstalled, for example, Home or Pro (Service Pack no matter if be the one which includes SP3), it will be cheaper and should not ask for a product key, as long as you install on a Dell PC. If it of a detail or not Dell disk you must obtain a valid product key and they will probably charge for it.

  If you know someone who owns a Dell XP disc, you can use it, once again as long as it's exactly the same version of XP that was factory-installed, and it should not ask for a product key. All perfectly legal.

  You really should get Win 7 because it is still supported by Microsoft. I saw 7 Win Home Premium (32 bit) OEM drives with the product announced by reasonable companies key for ~ $ 68, but you can look on eBay also.

• My DVD player does not open when I click on the button

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.
  My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

  I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
  I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

  Hello

  Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
  Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

  You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

  Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

• downloaded movie player, but it does not open

  I downloaded the movie player app on the app store, but it does not open? I just want to be able to convert ts to MP4 video to watch on my ipad

  If the video isn't an article purchased on iTunes Store (such as a movie or TV show), you can convert it in iTunes (on Mac) in a format that works with iPad.  The video must be in your iTunes library, so you can select it.  The command is in the iTunes menu bar, file-> create new-> Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
