  • Options for the power button Windows XP to ask what I want to do when the Start button / stop is pressed

    Original title: Start button / stop - "ask me what to do" - where is it?

    Under XP, when I pressed the power button I could put it "Ask Me what to do." This is very useful for two reasons:

    -My PC is under my desk, and if I'm not careful, I can press the power button with my knee...

    -To turn off, I can hit the power button / stop rather than start etc, then choosing.

    The feature exists on Windows 7 (press alt + F4), then how do you link that to the press the power button? Why this was removed?

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Yes, there are only work-a-rounds and that is why I suggested that
    thread. There are also a few details about why he was abducted that
    are especially that in general as it caused more problems than it solved. Then
    for those who have used the function correctly, it is a concern when trying
    to restore its functionality. To my knowledge, is not 100%
    this case, just ability cannot be added in by a registry setting
    as support has been totally removed. If this is the case, then the work - a-
    towers or possible 3rd party solutions are the remaining options.

    Please let us know if you find a better solution.

    I hope this helps.

  • Flashing Orange light - to the right of the SD/MMC slot

    Why an orange light flashes next to the slot SD/MMS?

    It looks like a coil or something. Just below it is a solid blue light that looks like a radio tower with curves on each side, as it is to show the power out of it. But the orange light flashes, I wonder about that. I never gave no notice to the frontcourt, but the cat was to stick to something and I went to look for, and it was the orange light flashes. I don't know if it was always there or what. This is on a HP Pavilion 500f about four years. Can you tell me what this means or if I need to do something? Thank you.

    Hello @allcolors,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I read your post about how you want to know what radio flashing orange light is on the front panel of your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    The blue light flashing on the front panel is light of wireless radio on your computer indicating a connection to your network, and the amber light indicates hard drive activity. I hope this helps!

  • Satellite A60 Shuts Down immediately after pressing the Start button / stop

    My A60 stops after 2-3 seconds when I press the power button to open the laptop. After pressing the power button, all the lights on, but until something appears on the screen, the computer cuts the power. Pleasure, DVD and disk hard audio work. At least, the sounds come from these materials. Also from the buttom of laptop, I see that the fan is running.

    This problem started anywhere Yesderday, I closed my laptop properly and carry my laptop to my friends. When I tried to open my laptop, this problem occurred and I could not open yet.

    I tried all combinations of use power supply and battery for power. Non of them works.
    Is there a had the same problem or have any diagonistics for this problem.
    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?
    You can also try to use the FN + F5 combination to check if the display will change back to the internal display.

    But look, man, if you are not successful then I guess there must be a serious hardware problem and only the laptop technician might know what's wrong.

  • Re: Computer laptop Qosmio F15 does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed

    My Toshiba Qosmio f15-av201 does not turn when you push the power button, even if the lights of ac adapter & battery are both on (on). Indeed, the yellow light that is supposed to turn on the power button when the laptop is turned off does not appear. In addition, there is no sign that shows the laptop tries to start when the button is pressed, not even a peep. The laptop was recently dismantled (open) to clean the fans, who made the famous monstrous noise which toshiba qosmios are apparently well known for.
    Everything seems to be connected correctly in its correct place. Nothing seems to be damaged. So, I have no idea where I can get out of here. Pending issue.

    Help will be less appreciated.

  • Satellite P50-B-103 - light around the power button / stop does not work

    I bought this laptop a few days ago, and early on, I noticed that the light around my power button does not work.

    so now I'm in dillema it back or not?

    Everything works well, but because of the price, I expected to work correctly.

    And what is perhaps the reason for this?

    TNX

    As far as I know that the power button or to be more precise, the margin around the power button should be lit / lighted.

    In my opinion its not serious problem but if there s a problem for you and you are not satisfied with that, I recommend you contact the dealer to replace the unit.

  • printer do not wake off mode 'sleep' and does not turn off when the Start button / stop pressed or pushed.

    HP printer all-in-one B210a win 7 64 bit.

    no error message just don't wake up from power saving mode and does not turn off when the power button is pressed. must be disconnected and then turned back on. works fine until the power saving mode he did go to sleep then not answer the test print command or Toolbox controls.  power saving mode is turned off, but still goes to sleep.

    First, you will need to make sure that the printer is under warranty.  You can do it here.  So, if you are in warranty, you must contact HP at 1-800-474-6836 and the United States in computer science, international users click here.

  • Laptop frequently is off and does not restart even when the Start button / stop is held in

    I have a notebook dv7-3060us running Windows 7, some mornings (every few days or weeks), I find, powered out and does not.  In press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds has no effect.  I have to unplug and remove the battery to restart.  What happened several times.  I tried it with the battery removed, and it fails again, then.

    A software problem can cause this?  I thought that holding the power button causes a material interruption and the BIOS takes over.

    Is there a known hardware problem which can cause this?

    Thank you

    Hi Sean,.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, the steps listed for a hard reset was precisely what was needed to market every day.  So, we did about 50 times.  The real issue was whether a software problem could cause the phone to require a hard reset every time.

    After not getting no response for a few weeks, I have restored your computer from a backup, I made after the update in the first place and then re-set everything.  So far, it has remained stable, which brings me to the conclusion that it is, in fact, a software issue.

    Kind regards

  • The Start button / stop continues to Flash / pulse?

    Hi gpmroy,

    A power indicator light is flashing on the printer indicates generally prepare a print job. The power light flashes while the product receives the data.

    Have you tried to print from another browser like Chrome or Firefox? If you are able to print from another browser, I recommend downgrading to Internet Explorer 9 to 8 (or just continue to use another browser).

    I would like to know if this helps or not.

  • Dell Studio 540MT does not start, green power light on, but the Start button / clear stop completely

    Looking for assistance

    Have a Dell Studio 540MT (purchased in 2009), worked great until 2 weeks ago.   After a temporary system failure would not start.    The power light itself is green fixed.   The power button on the front panel is completely released.

    I read a lot of messages and other information about a similar problem.   Therefore, I did following:

    1. unplug everything, press the power button / stop for 1 minute and retries.   without success

    2. replace the CMOS battery.  without success

    3A jumps the Green and black 20 supply connection wire pins to motherboard.  It started immediately food, fans and hard drive.   so I assumed that the PSU has been authorized.

    4 replace the motherboard with a new mobo.  Curiously, in a first time, there was no change, but after about 2 minutes, the power button was working and power system.   Everything worked so very well.   I had also completely cleaned all the dust in the chassis and radiator, fan and had applied the thermal paster as directed by Artic Silver.   I even turned off after hours of race and restarted system.  Restarted, he noted that it took a couple times by pressing the power button to make it work.   Then the 2nd day I shut down the system by a normal shutdown through Win 7 and let rest for about 10 hours.   When tried to start/turning the power on again, same problem as the original problem... at first, before light power button would show amber flashing when first pressed the power button / stop, then once I unplugged the power cord and let it sit for 1 hour, the light power button showed no light, completely and again no restarts.

    5. I ordered a new power button cord (new)... This could be the problem and replacement will fix?   Is this a known problem that power button can cause this kind of problem?

    6 or is a problem of power supply?   But you wonder why the green light of the PSU and works very well when jumping the Green and black wire on the connector 20 pin?     Before I go buy a new power supply to other suggestions?

    Is there a known issue with button / stop itself and/or PSU on Dell Studio 540 MTs?

    Yes, the front panel can cause failure to start in some models, although I don't specifically remember if the 540 has been affected by this problem. Please let me know if the replacement resolves the problem.

    ATX power supplies should work. Here are the standard components of the Dell desktop computers.

  • HP Pavilion X 2 11-h003sa keyboard and the start button

    I have a Pavilion X 2 11 - h003sa running Wwindows 8.1. It's less than a week and without any changes to the system (no software update or driver installs) after a restart, the Start button stopped working and when I try to dock with the keyboard, the start on the tablet button remains lit (but unfounded) and the keyboard does not work. By that, I mean the key and the trackpad do not react, are not all usb devices, and even the charger shows not only plugged into Windows. The orange charging light lights well.

    Weirdest part is the only thing that works - he always knows when the laptop is closed with the connected keyboard.

    Any suggestion or help here would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello, James.

    Your X 2 is perhaps responsible got stuck on something, he is unable to perform; This problem can be self-correcting after a full stop and normal reboot of your tablet. Since it is not always easy to determine the power state of a Tablet, I suggest you make sure that is turned off by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, then release. wait another 10 seconds then press the Windows Start button. You should not feel any momentary vibration when you press the Windows key. When you are certain that the X 2 is turned off, try to start normally. I hope that your tablet will resume its normal operation, but if not, I suggest you contact your region (UK?) HP support because several interactive steps may be needed to determine the cause & fix for your problem; which can lead to a very lengthy process if attempted by the rear "n" following exchanges of the forum.

    Find your HP contact information & support options by scrolling to the bottom of this page, to this you see "On HP" on the left. Click on "Contact us" just below this to see the choices to your selected region or country...

     

    I hope you come back soon with news that your tablet is running normally. However, we will also try to answer questions if necessary.

     

    Good luck!
