I have to press the button 'On' several times to start the small Dell desktop computer.

After that I turned on the power strip, sometimes I have to press several times the button "On" until the computer stays on.  I see the small lights and most light in the power button lights up, but then they both leave, and the computer turns off.

If it's only a month, contact Dell Technical Support for warranty repairs.

  • Impossible to reinstall PSE9 on the new Dell desktop computer

    Bought a new Dell Inspiron 660 desktop in August, unfortunately the factory preloaded PES 9 did not work.  So, I advanced and uninstalled and use the software provided with the computer to reinstall, but discovered that the software disc was not at all helping. Then, I try to download on Adobe.com to get a copy of PSE9 and use the S/N on the jacket of the book software disc to record, but PSE9 was not available and settle for PES 11 instead, after completing the download, I tried to use PSE9 S/N, but nothing helped.

    Could someone out there please help me solve the problem.

    Thank you!

    P.S. have you tried Dell, but they don't help us any.

    The serial number of PSE9 will not work in PSE11. Serial numbers must be for the appropriate version.

    You can download the demo version of PSE9 http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml

    Make sure you follow the very important Instructions on this page before you click on the download links or the links will not work.

    When you launch the trial of PSE9, enter your serial number of PSE9 to allow permanently.

    Hi @Vishalwagh123,

    Welcome to HP's Forums a great way to get help. It's a great place to find answers and advice! Thanks for the post.

    I understand you have questions turn on/off the device and you must press the power button several times for him to start. I'll be happy to help you.

    Please try these steps first. Perform a hard reset.

    • Steps to do:
    • Turn off the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery.
    • Press and hold the power button on the unit for 15 seconds to carry out the static electrical charges inside the machine.
    • Replace the battery and the charger plug it back. Try to turn on the computer.

    If it fires up immediately the issue is resolved. Otherwise, try to turn on the computer without the battery and check that it works immediately.

    In your message, you said that it works very well with the charger. However, I need more clarity here to help you better.

    It works immediately when the adapter is connected and the power button is pushed only once?

    If you again press the power button several times, it may be a faulty power button, and you will need to contact the hotline at the service of the unit.

    Let me know what happens when you try to turn on the unit without the charger?

    Hope the problem is solved without hassle. Please keep me in the loop.

    Take care and have a week Holy.

  • Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop computer. Have to press the power button several times to start?

    Hello

    I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.

    My computer has had no problems at all until yesterday for some reason, I had to push the switch several times to start until he finally turned and did normal starts. As I would press the power as normal to start button, but all of a sudden, it turns off after about 2 seconds and so I would tap on the switch several times and each time it will not start and turn off, then the power button could be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start and run as normal and seems to work correctly. And it was the same thing today, I pressed the power button mutiple times (for example 6 times) until she finally started as usual.

    Savvy/computer im not very well informed or wise in this area, please someone will help me and give me some advice/help to fix/resolve this problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be appreciated for this problem.

    Thank you.

    Vonbon90, welcome to the forum.

    When I see these symptoms on an old computer, I think it may be a power supply (PSU) failure/ing.  Here's a guide that will help your troubleshooting it.

    In addition, you could test the memory.  This can be done by removing all modules of memory and replacing them one at the time and start.

  • When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.

    original title: sleep/hibernation

    When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.  I used only having to press a key on the keyboard.

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, as if it was before?

    Well, on the theory that your computer is awkward, try to change the settings to another thing and OK your way out the control panel.  Then go back and put them in the way they were and OK your way out.  Occasionally, it will reset the internal parameters and things can return to normal.

  • P1102 - why I have to press the power button before printing

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone else knows how to avoid this problem. We have a P1102 connected via USB on Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there a setting somewhere that allows us to not have to press the power button on the printer before printing. It is now connected to the pc. The pc is turned off at night.

    It is very annoying to have to push the button before printing. This may sound trivial, but our old Hp laserjet 1100, only has been replaced with this P1102 as the new pc have no place for a parallel port card, and you never had to press the power button before printing with that, this feels like a step and is very disappointing.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the printer software is not save the auto power off feature is set to never.  I would definitely try update the internal firmware of the printer to see if updating automatic stop is set to never work.

    Click here to access the download page for the Laserjet Firmwares.  Select the P1100 series in the drop-down list.

    This should be done so that a USB cable to connect the printer and the PC.  I would like to know if the firmware is able to get the printer to stay alive.

  • Something changed recently - now, I have to press the "arrow" to go to a Web site in the address bar. Is there a setting that I can change?

    Very recently, my Firefox has changed. I used to be able to start typing, say, 'www.google.com' in my location toolbar window. This would provide a drop-down list of recent sites, and I just click the line "www.google.com". Firefox would immediately take me to this Web site with a single click.

    But now if I click on the line 'www.google.com', it simply puts "www.google.com" in the location toolbar window, do not send me to google. I have to press the arrow to the right of the address bar to go to the page of google.

    Thus, something changed last week - maybe a setting has updated? I looked at the options page and can't seem to find something that applies.

  • I have a 2012 w/Win7 Dell desktop computer, which has started to have a little slower. At the opening of a USB key.

    I noticed recently, I plugged the USB on my PC, has begun to open more slowly. One

    I use the most is small 4 GB and I bought some time ago. So, I thought it was the USB key. I've seen

    a 32 GB drive on sale for $13, so I bought it. But it wasn't the drive, because the new opens a little

    slow as well. This really isn't a big deal, it's only a moment or two more. What would cause this?

    I've owned 6 PCs, since I bought my first after that Win 95 came out. They've all got more slowly than

    they aged.  My current PC is very fast, so as long as it does not get more slowly, it will not

    be a problem. I think it's just something that happens on the PC as they age. I wonder why it is

    the case?  But in general, I am very happy with this Dell desktop computer. It does not use so much power that the

    2005 did. You can tell by the fact that it does not heat the room, as did the 2005. It is important to Florida.

    My new PC is also much lighter in weight and a lot faster. PC is really improved over time.

    Hi Doug FL.

    One suggestion would be to go to downloads and look for an updated driver chipset.

    In general, the PCs slow down over time because of all the waste that accumulates on them. A lot of people a re - install the Dell factory image after a few years to solve this problem. It doesn't take long, but it requires that you back up all your files and then reinstall applications once you have finished.

  • Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

    Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

    However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

    I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

    I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

    However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

    I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

    One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

    Thank you, Karen

    First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

      
    Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
      
    Here's what I suggest:
    (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
    (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
    (3) never use Geek Squad.
    (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
    (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
    (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
      

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • Increase in Wake - should not have to press the Home button to unlock

    Hi all

    I appreciate the work that the Apple development team did to iOS 10. Most of it's amazing as usual! BUT...

    The revival of the Wake feature needs an additional configuration option. In fact, some of us LIKE how quickly iOS 9 unlocks the phone and have the habit of hitting the power button to turn the screen to access the shortcut of the camera or using a finger not configured to press the Home button.

    That said, if I 'raises to Wake"my iPhone, having to press the Home button to complete the unlocking process is not intuitive. It must simply unlock and go to my home screen.

    As this MUST have been done intentionally, I think that you should give us the option attached to "Raise to Wake" function to enable or disable the duty press the Home button to unlock.
