• Print cartridge missing or not detected C4585

  Hello

  I have a photosmart C4585 printer all in one, for a long time, I used hp cartridges-it worked fine until recently when the "print cartridge missing or not detected" message appeared.  I Googled it and found a video on YouTube showing how to remedy this with a particular sequence, which only worked to a print.  Then the error message returned.  I replaced the "truant" cartridges with HP authentic and still always get the same error message.  I am at a loss to know what to do, really can't afford a new printer, my daughters will be lost without a printer for homework!  Please can someone offer me advice?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Vinia, I understand that you use genuine HP NO ink cartridges. Usually, this creates a problem at the beginning. Even if you were able to print before, using the correct cartridges is the best way.

  Here is a link that might help with this problem.

• Ink cartridge missing or not detected

  I feel as usual.  I went to another sheet of printing, and it came on my printer.  "Ink cartridge missing or not detected".  Earlier today, I put in a new black ink cartridge.  I took out and the color one, again no change.  I connected the printer to the front and back, waited, plugged back without success.

  I don't know what is the cause and I'm not very irritable with computers.  I thought to change color ink, but he is looking fine on the papers that I printed.   Help, please.  The printer is older, but I take care of it and have never had a problem until now.  It is a HP Photosmart C4240 all-in-one.

• CD drive is missing or not detected

  Good if I did a lot of research through forums on this problem already, none of the advice has helped me. But there is also another factor involved in my problem so I thought I should talk about my experience. I hope someone can give me some advice.

  First of all, I have a HP Pavilion dv9700. I often play the Sims 3 on my laptop. Which means every day. My laptop has overheating problems, so I bought a stand with a fan in her lap. It helps somewhat but not completely. So sometimes my computer shuts off when it overheats and I think that the reason my CD player does not work is related to it somehow. I played the Sims 3 on my computer and of course, it has overheated and it just stopped on me. When I went to turn on of course I had to restart the Sims. Well, it was not as simple as that. Whenever I tried to load the Sims he would say something in the sense of "Cannot start game when already played" - something like that. Once, he actually does not play for me, but my computer is hot so I turned off and when I tried to play again it woudn't work. Since then, I have tried everything to fix my drive, none of the work methods suggested for me and when I run the fix of Mr. program he can't help either, it just says that my CD drive is missing or not detected. I am so at a loss for what to do. And I know that a lot of people have this problem, but I thought that my situation may be other factors involved. If all the tips that can help me are greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Clogged or blocked vents? The internal fan is working correctly? Doesn't look like
  everything is as it should be in the Department of ventilation. Clean as much as possible, and even if it's awkward
  Try a good fan blowing through the vents as a test. This should be very telling. If the internal fans
  are not all work as they should, or the ventilation openings are blocked, then a whole or several parts of
  the device can get too hot and either acting strangely or stop completely.

  Help for the problem of CD/DVD but the heat might indeed be the main cause of the issue.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

• cartridge missing or not detected c4580

  Today my C4580 all-in-one printer printed a page VERY slow and after I turned it and then turn on the error message appeared "print cartridge missing or not detected".

  I searched the forum and found a similar problem someone had a few months to which DexterM responded and I followed the same steps given here, I tried the cartridge cleaning and reset (unplug the unit from the wall), but I still have the message.

  So I printed out the self-assessment report:

  for the code = 10

  16 PX = 4

  53 PX = 4

  63 PX = 4

  54 HP = 1

  64 HP = 1

  56 STAT = 0

  66 STAT = 0

  BILL 57 = 64

  BILL 67 = 44

  and with the code of the removed black print cartridge = 43 results are the same as hers:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Dxxx:.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .    o o o o o o o o

  Sxxxxx:.  .  .  .  .  .  .      o o o o o o o

  I hope someone can help me.

  Thankx

  out of curiosity I left only a cartridge black inside the printer and reprinted Code = 43 self-test page and it worked, with results:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Dxxx: o o o o o o o o..  .  .  .  .  . .

  Sxxxxx: o o o o o o o..  .  .  .  .  .

  How did the same black cartridge work?

  thx again.

  Please help, I need my printer and I wan't to know what I have to do...

  Ok. Looks like you have almost tried everything. Unfortunately, the results of the test pages you printed doesn't help me understand the issue. I suggest you try to reset the printer. remove the cartridges before you begin these steps.

  1. press the Power button and the Cancel button at the same time and release them. The display shows "enter special key Combo".
  2. now press the (Scan) (color copy) Green Blue and grey (black copy) buttons one after the other. The display shows "Support ".
  3. press 2 times on the blue button. "Reset" menu. Now press OK. If the screen still shows the Reset Menu After you press OK, then press the green button.
  4. press the gray button. Should display "semi-Full Reset". OK\Green press button. The printer turns off.
  5. turn on the printer and select your country and language.

  Reinsert the cartridges once you do this. If you still get the same message, open the HP Solution Center program on your PC, then check the dipstick of ink or the status of the printer. It should tell you what print cartridge has the problem. Replace this cartridge. If it works, then call HP so that they can replace the defective cartridge for you.

• Cartridge missing or not detected

  Recently, I replaced the color cartridge in my Photosmart C4240 all-in-one. After re-installing the cartridge, there is a message on the printer that "printer cartridges missing or not detected" (with a picture of an ink cartridge). I deleted and reinstalled each cartridge several times and noticed that sometimes a cartridge image is displayed and other times two images are displayed. After playing a bit, I think that I have determined that it's the black cartridge not detected. The color cartridge is one that I have recently removed and filled then re-installed. I can't understand why the printer is not detecting the black cartridge. It's easy installation, what I have done wrong?

  Troubleshooting steps here can help.

• Windows 8 will not start even with the CD after uninstalling Linux

  Hi, I am currently faced with problems with my Dell Inspiron with Windows 8 3520 is installed. I had been dual-boot it with Linux Mint for a while with no problems until I decided to go completely back using Windows for convenience.  As I had installed Linux by creating a partition I followed online guides to remove the partition on which it was found, and expand the partition holds Windows to its original size. This seemed to go off without incident, until I tried to delete Grub and got to the start of the back straight to Windows computer. I followed a couple of different guides without result and finally ran a program called Boot Repair that just make things worse. After you run the program, my computer began to start directly on a screen of recovery with the error message:

  Boot your pc configuration data is missing or contains errors
  File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
  Error code = 0xc000000f

  After that happened, I called Dell and pushed them to send a disk of Windows 8 for me, so I could try a clean reinstall, I thought I'll fix it. Unfortunately it allows me to boot the disk. Everytime I try (when entering the BIOS and selecting the CD drive to boot from the disc) I get a message saying missing operating system, along with various things I can provide if required, and ending in asking me to insert the bootable media in the selected drive, press which just repeated the same message again. I ' v read on various fixes online without result, most who ask me to change the CD in first priority which I can't do is not listed as an option in the menu accessed by pressing F2 BIOS. I tried to add my CD drive option, but when I click in it, instead of getting the readers of CD or something like that, I get a menu called select Media Driver with options like this:

  WDC WD10JPVT-75A1YTP - Partition 1

  the only difference between them being the partition to which they are assigned, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. If I press on enter on any of this that it brings me to another menu called select media with a variety of different options, which change depending on the partition that I chose, which none means nothing to me. I don't know enough to try anything more, and even people at Dell seem to be at a loss. Any help would be much appreciated because I am completely lost at this point and this is my first laptop.

  I'm not 100% sure the disks that you actually... The drive set to restore your computer to the factory should be at least 2 or 3 DVD...

  You can reinstall windows only... which, I imagine, would solve the immediate problem.

  Delete the partition with your old windows 8 on this... Don't you say that you developed it in the first partition or something... There may be a small 300 MB partition as the first and possibly a 30 GB or more, depending on the order in which Dell installed their...

  Go by your memory as to the size of the partition that you expanded 8 Win...

  The thing with reinstalling windows just is that you do not have a Dell preinstalled stuff.

• "Print cartridge missing or not detected" says my Photosmart C4250 of HP all-in-One error

  My all-in-one HP Photosmart C4250 error is 5 years old.

  This week, he stopped printing with a message saying that it could not detect the ink cartridge.  The cartridge was low, but non-empty, so I asked a geek friend to take a look but no problem was found.  Today, I just bought and installed a new cartridge.  Still will not work.

  This printer has been reliable so far.  Any ideas?  I am unemployed and a new printer is certainly NOT in my future.

  Thank you!

• The CD/DVD drive in my laptop is missing or not detected by my Acer Aspire 4520?

  A while ago my laptop Acer fell and the CD/DVD drive pulled after its fall. I thought for sure that it was broken and my laptop. Fortunately it seems not that this was the case and after that put in does what it normally would, the green light would flash and it seemed to work again. However, I never thought not to test with a DVD or CD to see if it actually worked. Is that recently that I started to use CD for games and other and I found the driver to read the discs, but nothing happened thereafter.

  Well for some time now, I tried to find a solution to my problem. The driver seems to work, but when it comes to playing the discs it do anything more. Some of my other programs such as Windows Media Player saying that my laptop is missing the driver CD/DVD. I also went to the menu of F2 from the laptop to the startup and after looking around, I find that there is no entry for the CD/DVD drive and that the entry is empty. I'm not sure why my laptop can't detect the drive. I tried many things such as the Microsoft Fix It, but ends up giving me an error saying that some components are not well read or something similar to that.
  Any help is greatly appreciated and if there is anything that I can provide for any further help I will do it gladly.
  I should also mention that the CD/DVD does not appear in Device Manager.

  Hi Emmanuel,.

   
  It's a hardware problem, your CD/DVD drive is not detected by your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
   
  Method 1: Check if your CD/DVD drive is detected in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
  
  IMPORTANT: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
   
  Method 2: Follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

   
   
  You can also try to contact Acer support and check if it helps.
