I've only had my laptop a year
I've only had my laptop G72-251NR for a year and my hard drive died. Is it still under warranty, even if my warranty is up on my laptop? Can I send it and the set? I was told that this is why I shouldn't buy hp, because of this problem. I love my laptop but it cost just as much to replace a hard drive about to buy a new laptop, any suggestions?
Hello
Unfortunately the hard drive is covered under the same period of the guarantee that your laptop, but it is a fairly simple process to replace the HARD drive yourself and is not too expensive - there is a brief guide on this operation below.
The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.
The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 50 of your & Maintenance Guide.
Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.
If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.
Hi Haolin,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;
- What is the brand and model of the computer?
- Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
- When was the last time it worked?

You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.
Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Close the registry editor and restart your PC.
Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.
Step 3: Start the computer in safe mode and run system restore
- Click on the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.
Do one of the following:
If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.
If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.
In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.
Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.
- Click on the Start button , type "System Restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.
Restart your computer normally.
Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.
If these steps resolve the issue, you are finished. If not, try to repeat the steps and chooses an older restore point (if available). If that does not resolve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

I recently had my laptop lost or stolen, can someone tell me how I can disable the CC apps? Can I only get you invited to turn off if you try to install a third-party device? I I only loaded them on one device today.
Hi Emma,
Creativce Cloud subscription is good for use on 2 computers according to the end-user license agreement. You can go ahead and activate it on another machine.
If you want to activate a 3rd machine that a message would appear on citing your use of the software on 2 computers, there you have an option to click on "Continue" where you want to disable the copy on a previous machine.

Before that I only had to type "IMDb" and press enter and put me to the site immediately, but now all these links come first.
Or I used to type 'youtube' and after knocking entered, I was took directly to the homepage of youtube.
What can I do to make it like it was before, so it takes me directly to the site? Second, my Norton passwords and user names for all sites that have been stored in my 'Norton safe"does not appear in the browser. This will be available soon?
Try to define your topic: config entries for:
- Keyword.Enabled - > true
- Browser.Fixup.Alternate.Enabled-> true
- Browser.Fixup.Alternate.prefix-> www.
- Browser.Fixup.Alternate.suffix-> .com
and then restart your browser and try again supernatural imdb.
You must use 'supernatural imdb' rather than "supernatural imdb" because you want the domain before the page for research work best.

I bought Adobe CC through my University, but once I started to install update 2015 yesterday, he said that I only had trials for programs like After Effects and Speedgrade. I am unable to redeem a subscription, because it was a continuous single thing of educational personnel. What should I do?
Thank you for your help. I spoke with one of your customer service representatives, and the question seems to have been based on accounts. I think it is resolved.

Yes, you can install and use the same version that you have purchased on your new computer. Make sure you have your serial number available.
Even for Photoshop Elements, but you should disable PES on the old computer if possible.
