• Sansa Clip + 8GB won't turn on little matter what I do

  Hello!

  Last weekend I have connected my Clip + to my computer (there was always a battery power) to transfer files.

  It doesn't turn on after that. For a few days, I tried several suggested corrections: resetting, leaving charge for a few hours then try to reset again without success. To add to this, it gets really hot when I connect it to my PC.

  Help would be appreciated as this is the portable multimedia player, I enjoyed even more!

  Thank you!

  Well, even if the clip is broken, the nonstarter is a separate issue that is covered by the warranty.  I would call SanDisk to get a replacement under warranty.

• Compaq Presario CQ56 WiFi problem

  Hello

  I have a presario CQ56 with Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller network adapter. Hardware ID is PCI\VEN_10EC & DEV_8136 & SUBSYS_1605103C & REV_02 and I downloaded and installed all types of drivers, nothing works. Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello:

  You must first install the driver from chipset for your model (Please provide full model # of your CQ56) and reboot.

  Then install the Realtek ethernet driver.

  In reference to your private message, is the driver you need for the wireless card.

• New ProBook G1 450. WiFi won't turn. No such driver on the HP driver support page.

  In short:

  the Wifi on my new ProBook does not illuminate. Device Manager indicates that the device driver for the Wifi does not load and may be missing or damaged. It is said that the wireless device is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC3160 with Bluetooth handset device. HP driver support page is not a driver for this wireless device.

  Data sheet:
  ProBook G1 450
  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
  Wireless: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC3160 with device combined Bluetooth

  In more detail:

  This is a new ProBook G1 450, which I'm still doing basic settings I've not yet added my programs. I'll put up the pre-installed operating system preinstalled with HP programs.

  There the code connects to the internet via an ethernet cable and I downloaded several Win 7 HP updates in this way. But it does not connect via a wireless network. It does not recognize that there is Wifi signals in the area. My old Thinkpad and my tablet to recognize a number of strong Wifs in the region and easily connect to the one that I am authorized to use. The ProBook said that there is not a wireless in the region.

  The ProBook WiFi is apparently disabled. The wireless light is turned on (white) and when I click on the appropriate icon, there's a message saying that Bluetooth is activated, but the Wifi is turned off.  Light is supposed to turn on if Wifi or Bluetooth, or both are enabled, it is not a malfunction if it lights up when turned on the only. But I have not yet tried Bluetooth.

  Many other ProBook G1 450 apparently have a Ralink wireless device or other devices. Not mine. Apparently my ProBook has an Intel Dual Bank Wireless-AC3160 with Bluetooth handset device. That's what told Device Manager. And this device can be great or maybe even a nice improvement. However, unfortunately, the Device Manager also said "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). »

    The page of HP support for downloads of driver for my ProBook has no driver for such a device with wireless Intel.

  I did not try the wireless until you install many updates to Win and HP. As I noticed the problem of wifi, I found that it not install HP update: it was for 5 Hotkey support. Since then, I amhaving a little trouble with some other updates. I mention this in case it is interesting, but I can't see any link between these updates and Wifi.

  Help!

  It is resolved.

  It was a driver problem. I had looked for the driver on the page of intel as well as the disk HP support page and it has not been found. But I looked back to the page of the Intel wireless driver and judge. The tricky part is that the pilot is not directly under Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160: no driver is listed directly for her. But intel brings together a large number of drivers wifi under the Intel PROSet/Wireless software. If you use the Intel Driver Update Utility 2.0. It updates the PROSET/Wireless software, and then this software installs the updated wireless driver.

  My ProBook came with the Intel PROSet/Wireless software, but it is version 16.x.x.x. update the Intel page, is now 17.1.0.19.   He has in turn updated Daul Band Wireless - AC 130.  And now the s easily connects to Wifi.

• Impossible to activate the WIFI button to turn it on there is gray and unresponsive.

  WiFi worked very well on my HP TC4000. Now, it illuminates, either by function or switch side key.

  Device Manager says it works very well.  It is activated.  (I tried the turn off/on a couple of times, but made no difference).

  The Windows Mobility Center confirms that the unit is off.  The button to turn it on there is gray and is unresponsive.

  OT: My WiFi won't turn on

  Marine salvation,

  I suggest you contact HP support to check if there is no hardware switch which disabled.

• Compaq Presario CQ56 - :(wireless Internet problem

  Hey everybody,

  So I just joined here to see if anyone can help with my problem, because frankly, I'm out of options now about two weeks asking friends and colleagues and searching the Internet for answers to similar problems. I tried twice with the information I found on this site for quite some time and it does not work for me!

  In any case, I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop. It has been implemented correctly when I bought it, everything worked perfectly. I managed to catch a virus that prevented me from even turn on my computer (which is strange, because I'm not a fool with computers, and I know what not to do/download sites to visit), so I had to restart my computer to stock, I used my Windows 7 disc, partitions formatted and installed windows again.

  Now, for some reason it doesn't connects wireless Internet. It connects when I have an ethernet cable connected, but it is not all networks, as shown in this screenshot:

  

  (And also here's a cute Bunny for your pleasure)

  So you see my problem it is very frustrating. I don't know what is the cause, but I guess it must be a driver problem? Which is why I write here, if this is indeed in the wrong section, please accept my apologies.

  Here is an another screenshots that can help, just in case:

  

  If someone could shed some light on the problem for me, or even to resolve, I'd be very grateful it is extremely annoying. As I said, it works fine when I have my laptop connected to the internet, when I'm in College, but when I come on a weekend, I can't put my laptop, because I only WiFi at home.

  Thanks for reading

  Hayley R

  You are the very welcome, Hayley.

  The problem is that the needs of the wireless (network controller) one adapter driver installed and here is the link for the driver you need.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-107849-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en

  Once you install the driver above, the wireless should work just fine.

  Try a hard reset first as follows:

  Remove the battery and unplug the DC power Jack
  Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
  replace the DC power cord (leave the battery for now), and then press the power button
  If you now see Windows on your LCD, then fine.

• Presario CQ56 - 154CA does not load BIOS

  Hello, I have a compaq presario CQ56 - 154 mobile CA. I deleted the hard drive using DriveCleanser to True Image Home 2011 and then tried to load the recovery with F11 (or F10 or whatever it is) Manager, but now all I get is a red screen with the big Q logo with "Press ESC for boot menu" on the bottom left and it just hangs there. I wipe the Win7 and system partitions, but not the recovery partition. I did a backup of these 3 partitions on my external hard drive, but the laptop does not start from a flash drive bootable, that I did in True Image, nor any of my startup CD and I set the bios to boot from flash first, then the DVD, then drive before wiping.

  I don't have the DVD with Recovery Manager recovery in Win7, but I wouldn't need them not from the recovery partition is still there.

  I read that some Compaq portable computers use a utility on the hard drive to load the bios, boot etc menu, so if this is the case with mine, then it has been completely removed. If this is the case, is there a way I can get it on the drive?

  If this isn't the case, I could try to remove the drive and put it in an envelope outside and connect to my office. It is possible that I can use the flash drive to use True Image to restore wiped two partitions. Also, I read that in this case, remove the disc and then turn on the laptop may allow the bios load, but I'd really prefer not to take the drive if I have to.

  I have faith in your ability to help me with this, thanks!

  Get off drugs or get back at them

  I seem to have solved the problem! As soon as I was able to restore the partition of 'System', which is the partition active, the bios loaded no problem. After the release of the bios, the Recovery Manager has finally started automatically and I was able to restore the laptop to its "out-of-box" State

  What I did buy a 2 1/2 inch, SATA HARD drive, USB adapter I used to connect the player to the laptop on my desk. I used my flash boot disk image first restore the MBR on the drive by using the backup that I did. That did not work. Then I restored the system partition, crossed my fingers and pulled to the top of the laptop again and finally the Recovery Manager came. It was the most beautiful thing I've seen in days.

  A little advice. If you want to clear Win7 out of your Compaq, say you want to sell or something, and you want to use a method of multiple passes, clean partition "Win7". Don't wipe the 'HP tools', the 'system', or the 'Recovery' partitions (is there such partitions). If none of this has meaning for you, find a friend or a tech store, he does not sense of. I consider myself lucky.

  Thanks Charles for your answers, I appreciate them!

• an operating system is not on my compaq presario cq56

  I tried to reset my computer & reset all my drivers. Now when I turn it on, it indicates an operating system is not found. Please, press ctrl, alt, delete to restart. When I did, the message continues to appear & the computer is a compaq presario cq56. Could someone tell me what can I do to fix this?

  Mrsbailey,

  I'm sorry for what happened, I don't think you did anything just a crazy accident.

  You'll need to order the factory created to disk for this computer. If you reside in the United States or to the Canada, you can contact HP technical support to the 1-800-474-6836 or if you reside in another country, you can click on this link and then click on your country and the number is provided.

  If you have access to another computer, you can order them online.

  1. click on this link

  2. click on drivers and software

  3. Insert the product number or model number

  4. choose your current operating system

  5 scroll down to "order recovery Media.

  Because you have Windows 8 disk must be there unless the computer is so new that they were not placed on the site yet.

  Please answer as soon as possible.

  Thank you

• Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX: can I upgrade to Windows 10?

  I have a laptop Presario CQ56-115DX, bought October 2010 (5.5 years) and running Windows 7. Considering the free update of Windows 10, I am concerned about the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250). I can't find an answer consistent and simple as to if it will work with Windows 10. Some sources claim a flat No., while others say No Problem, and still others say it's possible, but I'll have to pass through many creoles, manual installation of upgrades/downgrades of device drivers before, during and after the upgrade of the OS.  Maybe a BIOS update, too.

  So, can someone give me the history of right? When all is said and done, I at least will be no worse off as I am today on Windows 7, for graphics and video capabilities? I do more than very light animation and card games - no heavy action or stuff VR Council. This laptop has the power to do this kind of things anyway. If there is clear instructions somewhere for the manual steps that must be done before pulling the trigger on the upgrade of Win10, I can follow them. I don't want to risk in bricks during the upgrade! Supposedly, for 30 days after the upgrade, I can return to Windows 7, but it's no good if I can't get on the machine in the first place.

  I realize that this machine is getting quite long in the tooth, so a hardware upgrade (if that's even possible) is out of the question. If I have to stay on Windows 7, I'll run that, until the support is gone and then switch to Linux or something (maybe dual boot) until the material finally die.

  Are there any other known folds in a Windows 10 upgrade, in addition to the graphics? I've seen complaints about wireless, keyboards, optical drives and other things does not work properly after the upgrade.

  PPerry57

  My advice, after these uprades and seen THEM fail miserably on the old PC (like yours) are NOT to do the upgrade.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

  Also, there is no upgrade for the BIOS of your PC because it has not been compiled with Win10 in mind.

  While Microsoft tells you there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly faction of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails it can leave machinery in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

  Thus, people who tell you that you are no worse off the power if you upgrade to level do not take account of the reality of the situation - you'll be no better off and will be certainly less well off, how much, nobody knows.

  However, if you are willing to do some work and are determined to try to upgrade, then read on...

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

  The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

  Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.

  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

  Good luck

• I have a compaq presario cq56-115dx notebook pc and I wiped the hardrive without knowing

  Hello

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX laptop running on Windows 7. I wiped the hardrive without knowing what would happen, and now when I turn it on it has a black screen with a white dash flashes. I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem.

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  You will need to order a set of recovery disks.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  Or if you can read your Microsoft W7 product key you can make your own windows 7 installation disc.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
