m1070n media center power problem

I am running XP Pro on an HP m1070n media center & is no longer powers upward. I checked the power supply & it tests OK. I noticed that when I plug the cable of 12 volt 4-pin on the motherboard that the power supply light turns off and stays off. If I let the 12-volt cable disconnected and the power led remains lit on the back of the computer. What is a bad mother or some other hardware problem? I've changed most of the things inside a computer, but never a motherboard. I have thousands of photos of family on this computer & must try & recover. Should I consider the delivery back to HP for service (which I think would be very costly), or it would be easy enough to simply buy a new computer & recover photos to a new system (for example, Windows 7)?    Thanks for reading this.

Given the age of this 'July 5, 2004', I wouldn't recommend giving it at the service of HP.  It will not be worth the cost.  If "thousands of family photos on this computer" are on the hard drive, then who can be saved.  The issue "it would be easy enough to simply buy a new computer & recover photos to a new system (for example, Windows 7)?   Yes I can't answer for Windows 8, but I guess it's just as easy.  Just get a these: http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Adapter-Converter-Optical-External/dp/B001OORMVQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359482606&sr=8-3&keywords=USB+3.5+hard+drive+adapter

or something similar.  Remove the hard drive from the old computer, cannot connect to the newly purchased, adapter plug plug USB and copy the images on the new computer or DVD, or an external hard drive.

BTW: I would like to make an extra backup of all the photos on a regular basis to other media of your choice of future protection

  • Pavilion Media Center Microsoft Media Center m8100n-problem

    Whenever I open the media center, doesn't matter if it's for watching live TV or recorded, I get 2 following messages:

    (Click on OK at the bottom box)

    and

    PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING

    The SymAddIn has stopped responding and you will be returned to Windows Media Center

    (Click on OK at the bottom box)

    Usually, I click the OK box on these two messages and it does not seem to bother watching anything.  There are problems, however, with poor quality recording.  Someone can tell me what this program that is not responding is supposed to do and how to do the error messages disappear.  That this has something to do with the poor recording quality?

  • HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n problem

    So I had this problem which started today.

    When I booted my PC: HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n - it goes to the startup screen with the HP logo but it remains just there frozen.

    Another thing I have noticed is my mouse and keyboard are not powered at all even though they are correctly connected to their respective ports.

    I don't know why he acts up like this now. I tried to connect the mouse to another PC and it worked, so there must be something wrong with the HP Pavilion itself.

    Wouldn't be the motherboard or some circuit?

    Other things to note that I got this PC reformatted all for more than a year with an installation of XP (as he came originally with XP).

    Restarted the PC and still has the same issues. CD Player opens, the PC itself is powered and the screen is frozen on the blue screen HP startup. (Shows the menu and controls everything, but can not yet exploited cause there is not going to the keyboard.)

    It is possible that a RAM module is either lost contact with the slot, or is defective. Can help with reintegration.

    (1) note what slots are occupied. Remove all the RAM of motherboard. Here's the tech manual. Put 1 module in the slot located near the CPU. According to the chassis, it could have a radiator/fan together.

    (2) unit to retest. Repeat with additional modules.

    (3) any module that tests OK can be reinstalled in appropriate accommodation.

    Hi Jonathan Thewlis


    Do you get any error messages when you try to connect?

    I suggest you temporarily disable the firewall, and check if the reconfiguration of the configuration solves the problem. If you are able to communicate properly with disabled firewall, then you must configure the firewall properly connect.

     

    Don't forget to enable the firewall after troubleshooting gets completed that your computer will be at risk.

    2 options-> properties > look for the choice of the mixer device.

    3. Select your tuner > check all boxes

    4 ok

  • Profiles of Netflix in windows media center, causing problems

    It seems the new Netflix profiles posed problems in the version of Windows Media Center of Netflix.

    Launch and selecting a movie/show in the app Netflix Windows Media Center works great.

    However when you play the movie, you are prompted to select a profile, after you select a profile you are presented with a screen saying:

    "Something is not right of the specifications.  Repeat this last step' with two buttons "Lets try again" and "Cancel".

    By selecting "Lets try again" brings up two error dialog boxes

    The first is a "permission denied".

    Followed by an error of "jQuery".

    Also I we a remote control for my video capture card to navigate Windows Media Center and the profile selection screen can be activated with the mouse.

    Hope that this selection screen when developed will be something that I can use the remote control for.

    I have been informed that Netflix has eliminated a patch to work around the problem. The profiles will NOT work inside the WMC, but you should receive is more an error and the original profile should work as before.

    Please confirm

  • Connection problems on Netflix in Media Center: "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. »

    Original title: Netflix in windows media center, connection problems

    I saw disorder connect to Netflix on windows media center. I am running windows vista x 64. When I select the icon of the login screen appears, but when I try to connect it comes up with the error message "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. "my internet connection is fine and I can connect to http://www.Netflix.com/, so this problem should make windows media center, but I can't understand it. I have updated windows and windows media center and I'm still having this problem. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The most likely explanation is NetFlix changed something in their routine of authentication (i.e. SOAP structure or just a URL string, whatever) and who broke the Vista NetFlix WMC client. It did not affect the web interface of NetFlix because operated a NetFlix service, they were obviously aware of the change pending and adjusted their web client to use the new method.

    Customer WMC NetFlix in Windows 7 (which is a new product), was probably already coded to use the new method. The client in Vista has continued to work with the old method, until NetFlix finally stop this method. Microsoft, slow to react and to assign developers to fix the Vista NetFlix WMC client missed the deadline and Vista users have been in the dark for a while.

    That's pretty standard for web services that cross corporate barriers. Particularly involving slow mega-body like Microsoft. A company change a routine and the other has to play catch-up. Communication is often difficult between the divisions within a company, between companies, it is often non-existent.

    The level of prissy whining in this thread was good for a laugh however. Those threatening to cancel NetFlix: rolleyes: your access was still working on their Web site. You were not without service, just, without the convenience of WMC. People grumble at Microsoft... anyone know if Microsoft was still knowledgeable of * when * NetFlix was going to turn off the old authentication? If they were told the night before (or any) "Hey let's turn off the old authentication routine" what kind of response do you expect? How long is it since the problem began, 28 days? It's actually a pretty fast for an element relatively low priority. Or it could just be that NetFlix reactivated their old methods of authentication as a temporary solution to this problem (they share a part in creation) until Microsoft can respond formally with an update.

    Now if Microsoft was duly informed advanced evolution of the service, still dragged feet (quite possible) I don't give them no slack. But at the end of the day, it is always a matter of low priority. It's fixed now, be happy until the next time that Netflix change their authentication routine.

  • Power went off looking at the TV Media Center. Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.

    Original title: Media Center 2005 Edition

    I was watching TV using Media Center on my PC HP Media Center m7367c PC (running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) when the power went off.   Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.  The audio works fine, but no picture, the small rotating circle of progress hangs and the screen is frozen.  I can click the X (close Box) and the program closes.   I expect there are only one or two corrupt files that need to be cleaned or replaced.

    HP support is to use recovery discs to clear the system and return it to the original configuration.   Given all the software, data and updates, I have to restore, I don't want to go down this road.

    I tried running SFC/scannow but Windows XP system discs are needed and the PC vendors ceased to provide systems with their PC discs there are many moons.  I bought Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, but he came on one drive and requests SFC disk #3 while parsing.

    I go back to the original driver TV tuner and then updated to the more recent but not joy.  I think that the problem is with a program or file Media Center.  Now when I try to configure the TV signal my cable box is recognized and then as soon as the audio lights, MCE 2005 hangs and the tiny TV screen remains black.

    I expect a file Media Center must be cleaned or reset but before I realize FUBAR I thought that he better come on this Microsoft forum and see if someone who knows what they are doing can provide the solution.

    Hi, Rudy386MS,

    Sorry for the late reply.  Do you have the problem solved?

    If Sfc/scannow solicits the disks, then you have corrupt or missing files whose analysis cannot replace or repair.  The alternative is a complete recovery of Windows.

    Open the control panel and select Media Center

    Click on uninstall

    Select the repair option

    Click next

    Click Finish when you are prompted

    See if that helps.  If not, then the recovery process will be needed

    Startup of HP systems to screen recovery (repair) when you reboot and start typing the F11 key.  According to me, that it gives you the choice to 'Fix' that leaves your files intact or 'Recover' system that will put you back to 'out of the box' condition.

    There is a Recovery Manager in the folder all the HP programs which includes Disc Creator.  You can create your own recovery discs.  I suggest using DVD instead of CD - R.  They allow more memory space.
