  • Serious problems iMac (late 2012)

    I have an iMac (end of 2012), who has had the most serious problems lately. For about a month, he would often see the spinning beach-ball-of-death for even the simplest of actions. As of today, however, it has gotten worse about 1,000 times. Now, every time I turn on the computer, with nothing connected except for the mouse and keyboard, it starts up fine, and then, whenever I try to do something, the SBBOD appears and stays there for about two minutes before the simple action is completed. Just tonight (I'm typing this from my other computer), what was going on, and then the Finder menu bar has disappeared, replaced by a black bar. The next thing I knew, the screen went black. Fearing for the life of my computer, I pulled the plug. Everything is saved to a hard drive G, but I disconnected earlier today. I've not turned the computer back since. I used to have the famous "Mackeeper," installed, but I made sure to remove every vestige of it. I'm afraid that this iMac may be either raise a viral infection serious, or as the CPU itself is a failure. I have installed Avast, but I checked a few days there are viruses, and there is no infection. I have not recently installed anything that could provoke such a question. It is not protected by the Applecare more. Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?

    Where should I go from here, now?

    Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?

    Yes. You're certainly dealing with a disc or any other fault of hardware failure. See also below.

    "Avast" is the worst of the whole miserable lot of commercial products 'security' for the Mac. Not only it fails to protect you against any real danger, it can send data of a personal nature (e.g. historical web navigation and content e-mail messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false alarms, destabilize and slow down the computer, you expose a network attack and corrupt the network settings and permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it can not repair all the damage.

    Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. In short, apart from the fine print of the license, Avast is not malware and is probably worse than any malware known now in circulation.

    Please back up all data and then remove Avast in accordance with the instructionsof the developer. Turn it back on. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

    If you have tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the trash, you need to reinstall, and then follow the link above.

  • Flickering screen on Satellite A100

    First of all, I would like to say hello to everyone...

    My colleague at work came to me with his laptop, which is a Satellite A100 with a screen flicker problem.
    Its nothing major, but the screen flickers constantly randomly as it s refreshing.
    I tried an external monitor and it is very good, so I guess that the LCD, 'FL inverter Board' or connectors. There is no distortion of colors, no lines/ladies on the screen and no backlight problem.

    I'm not a genius in laptops, but I fixed mine with success.

    I disassembled the computer laptop and just had a glance, made sure no loose connections, dust etc put back together and still had the same problem with the screen flicker.

    Now, I have no idea of what a "FL inverter board" is, or if this could be the problem, so any information would be appreciated.
    It s is not prepared to buy a new LCD screen, only to find out that it is this UPS widget.

    Thanks in advance

    I think that the FL inverter converts high voltage to power the Tube FL. You must be careful with the ups because it can give you an electric shock.

    You say that there is no problem of backlight, so it would not be the inverter at fault.

    If this is the Image that flashes (while the backlight is always on), then there may be a bad connection behind the screen, or a part should be replaced (for example, the LCD, the cable or the graphics card).

  • Laptop 17 HP envy flickering screen? (in fact some troubleshooting)

    It flashes when I click on an item or open a folder. Also, he goes crazy when I put on a video.

    Things I've done:

    Updated drivers.

    "Hold down the power button / stop" method.

    I have clues:

    1. I remember when I received the laptop, he would always sparkle in exactly the same way when a charger that has been plugged in was too weak (can leave message too low) and change the charger always fixed.

    Now I still have the same charger (I have 3 hp and 1 dell Chargers at home that match my laptop) and none of them seem to be "pretty" (x 2 65w 1 x 60w and 120w x 1).

    (2. another funny is that when I uninstalled my drivers Ati Radeon HD5850 completely, there is no flickering, but obviously, I need to have what I use this laptop strictly for the games)

    3. the screen refresh rate is 60 Hz and not possible to change.

    4. There is NO flickering on an external display (tried two televisions, both have a little clicker)

    5. you say that it's a hardware problem, but I actually somehow got to operate the flicker-free earlier this evening and are stayed all night play and it did not cause me any questions. It was working fine.

    6. sometimes the PC freezes (could this be a battery problem? because I currently does not use one as mine are broken and I'm waiting for a new ship)

    7. I recently had 2 blue screens of death. A when installing the ATI drivers and another that I don't remember.

  • Smart touch 610-1010UK Office: flickering screen on Touchsmart 610

    During the evening of 11/11/15 the flickering screen started. The mouse moves the cursor, but nothing does. F1, F8, F10, and F11 repeatedly pressed when starting up do not appear all the screens.  I see others have screen similar flicker. Help would be appreciated.

    Resolved - on the Microsoft Forum, we thought that Windows Update KB3097877 on Windows 7 might have caused the flickering on the PC.  Windows have now pushed another version of KB3097877 for this problem.   The good news for those whose parts are automatic update of Windows is that all you have to do is turn on your computer and put up with the annoying flicker until the new update gives you the logon screen.

    If any good came of this, is that we should remember to save regularly.

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • M30X 118 serious problem

    Hello

    I would like to share with you a serious problem with my new M30X 118.
    The problem is that when the laptop is connected to the network through the power adapter and a USB device connector touches the plate of metal USB interface at the back, or in general any metal surface one the back of the laptop, then suddenly the computer turns off! (I guess it's some sort of short circuit).

    Concerning

    John

    Hello

    The effect you described probably is probably caused by an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This means that you must avoid touching the metal part of the USB connector with your fingers (especially when wearing clothes made of plastic). I found an interesting article on this issue.

  • Satellite C70 - A - 16 L - screen resolution problem

    Hello

    I recently had a screen resolution problem with my laptop (C70 - A - 16 L).
    The max screen resolution which is imparted to me is 1366 x 768, whereas before I think he used 1600 x 900.

    I tried the latest drivers, Bios, etc. and have also restored the operating system to a previous backup, as well as a new installation.
    I also tried to roll back to Windows 7 (with proper drivers). They all offer the same problem.

    This new maximum resolution display correctly - as if the LCD does not deal with the timings of 1366 x 768.
    I believe that the Panel is OK and the problem he reports the EDID information properly - to force windows to use the new resolution.

    Is there a download monitor.inf file that can be used to bypass the EDID reported by the Panel?

    Kind regards

    Antwist.

    If the right to display drver is usually installed everything should be OK.

  • Screen touch problems when you use the converter

    We just bought an Envy 27 tilt to our Caravan for all the good characteristics that HP has and TV

    Cause sometimes will want to run the HP converter 12v 400 watt true sine wave.

    We tried this to find a problem, the computer functioned well but the touchscreen ran a muck and did not work as usual.

    So after much googling and some reading I'd like here to answer fo HP.

    As I can't believe, I'd be the first to come on this problem and want to put it all in one in a motor home.

    What I read, it could be a matter of dirty power of the inveter, but we thought we have purchase the best brand true sine wave, we could leave our guys of battery here in Australia.

    Any advice would be received with gratitude.

    Thanks Lou, first of all for your time and on the other hand for your thoughts and advice.

    We have it finally working outside a performance of the inverter with number.

    But I have to say without any worthy of official telephone hotline support of HP.

    Lou, I'm working through several of your suggestions, pending the official response to my survey on what brand or type of UPS or UPS I should use with my desire to tilt.

    Well, it is very sad that a massive company like HP with what you would think would be a very large R & D service, cannot answer a simple question, like what type of UPS or UPS if they recommend to work with the touchscreen of the tilt.

    The poor people, I was talking to, had no idea what I was talking about, or what I was trying to do. How a computer call center peason knows not what a UPS, I can understand on an inverter, but the tech people, these are things really very similar in the different boxes.

    OK, if you have this problem with your inverter and touch screen, first of all not all inverters are equal even in the same brand that I discovered. I want to thank my provider inverter & battery for their time and for allowing me to put in place the HP Envy of tilt on the back of their store and try different UPSs, inverters and batteries.

    I'll talk about brands here, not rat on the brand, but as it may be useful to someone else in Australia in the future. It seems that my "Epower DCAC 400w 12v true sine inverter" wasn't at the height when it came to clean AC power required to operate the touch screen without problem.

    In the end, we tried a "Epower DCAC 1000w true Sine Wave 12v', really just to give it a go, thinking it would be a better to be the same brand as the unit of 400w, well it worked quite OK

    This unit of true sine wave Epower 12 v 1000w, fixed our problem with touchscreen and ran HP Envy tilt as if it is running on AC power.

    If anyone is interested for camper here, I found this configuration to draw between 4 and 5 amperes of batteries of 12v and about 41 Watts @ runing 240 volts a you tube clip.

    Well it is my experiences and the final result, I hope this helps someone else in the future, I'm sure that HP will not be able to.

    Thank you all.
