My wife has a new HP pavillion h8-1090 computer t of office. Sometimes the computer will not light.

When this happens that the green light is not on to food. Move gently the power cord where it connects will cause the Green led comes on.  There seems to be a very loose connection where the power cord connects the computer. My question is, are they known to be exceptionally tight connectors and we do not get plugged in all of the way. I do not force too hard, but on the other hand, a bad connection is playing with fire.  If the case is moved, he could lose the connection.

Hi Keith,

Your PC is under warranty, so you have to contact HP support.  HP support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or here online.

Yes, these connections must be tight enough.  It is possible that the molded end of the power supply cable is incorrect.  These cords are pretty standard, so if you have another to try to give it a go then.

Pull the cord all the way out and see if something blocks to insert completely.  Look in the power supply for obstructions, and note the distance that the CAP should go into the power socket.

  • Computer will not properly install update KB976098 + new software

    I was a lot by browsing this site and saw that many people is facing the same problem. What I did find was a person with software problems.

    My computer was purchased 26/11 this year with Windows 7 pro + Microsoft office home and student . One day Windows were 27 updates to install and therefore has been left overnight. In the morning update no. 27 was still install and never finished. Had to restart the computer to exit the update screen. days later there were 4 updates to install. Still once, the last update was never completed.

    Now, there's only 1 update important remaining, KB976098 , the fix for the time zones that I presume.

    Not only the update will not install, now the new software may not be installed properly:

    I tried some actions (such as downloading stuff, install software, games) while windows tried to install the
    Update:

    • During the installation (for example.) Adobe Reader, Comodo FireWall took more than a minute to display its notice of default on an attempt to install software on the computer and therefore compromised the initial installation.
    • Turn off Comodo Firewall does not solve the problem. Delay of the computer respond when an action of the instalation was performed is the same.
    • The installation of update process could not be stopped once he was "installation."
    • The icon of 'disable' had no notification "update", but once to close the office and displays the message "loging off", the computer is never extinguished.
    • While playing an online game, nothing unusual has happened, no delay on start-up or exit.
    • When you save things like a packadge power point (for conferences of 2007 to display on older versions) the application would freeze and the package has never been created
    • Presentations PowerPoint would have graphics errors, such as the black and white rectangles containing all movable objects.

    After Force-reboot of the computer, cancel the auto-update feature and remove it from the list self-install, I retested evevrything:

    • Adobe Reader has been installed successfully, even with Comodo Firewall active
    • Comodo Firewall has reacted instantly to any attempt installation
    • More online games the same
    • PowerPoint correctly displays images and created packages without error
    • Turn the computer off was possible without forcing the stoppage.

    Now, I'm checking the updates installed and found out there are only installed 23 (in the Control Panel installed updates ). The history of the update displays more than 74 update. As mentioned previously, the first batch of update contained 27 updates, No 23 or 24. I checked some of these updates to the story:

    • There are a few updates, eg. update of security for microsoft office system who have 10 diferent KBs (being the first of its kind, his last KB974234 KB936514). Five of them have been installed twice: KB936514; KB951944; KB954326; KB956828; KB960003

    I guess in these 74 updates, replacents occurred in 23 updates, and some are not microsoft partners to be included in the Panel of installed updates . I really don't know, that's why I am asking :D

    I tried the more possible ways to install the update, downloading it mannualy, disabling the firewall, close all other applications, etc. etc...

    I would like to know the following:

    1. Why is not install update KB976098?
    2. Why other users have the same problem with recent updates?
    3. How to prevent the installation of update if the stop command does not work?
    4. How can I turn off the computer without having to install the downloaded update?
    5. Are double downloaded updates a problem?

    I wrote this for so long now. If I forgot anything, the question might be already in the text.

    Thank you for your time and patience! :)

    Read the "Updates since the previous cumulative Windows time zone update" section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976098. If you do not reside in one of these 14 zones, really useless this not (IMHO) security-related update, so you can just "hide":

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
    (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update: Select the installed updates: right click on the Update for Windows 7 (KB976098) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    =====================================
    To restore/show updates in Win7: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.
    =====================================

    Comment: For some reason, a lot of Win7 users have had problems trying to install KB976098. for example, http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/b620bb51-11e9-48f4-9a45-4034498cb8e1

  • HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger

    HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger. I tried a reboot, including disconnect the motor from the power analysis. A software update was just pushed through today as well, but the problem with the scanner was before this update. This update took place after the power has been turned off, then on again.

    The problem occurred this morning during a prior scan + back. I heard a click or pop/fast spin, something that indicates something was wrong, when he tried to feed on the 1st backsheet through for the scan of the back. Now, it won't take what anyone, even to make a copy using the feeder.

    When I look at the roll holder bar above paper, I noticed that it does not drop down to make contact with the paper he move to the scanner itself. I remember having this problem once before - there are 2 years, while the warranty was still in effect and does not remember how it was resolved.

    Any suggestions would be welcome. I don't want to buy another printer just to get the scanner to feed again. The printer itself is fine and scan from the bed is not affected.

    For anyone interested, I sloved the problem of roller scanner do not push the paper into the ADF.

    I turned off the printer last night. Today, I removed the power cable at the back of the printer and then unplugged the power cord from the wall. It was off for about 30 minutes. I reconnect the cable to the printer and the wall, the printer running and waited about 10 minutes. So tired the charger scanner again. It worked and I don't know why.

    Yesterday, I tried a version of what I found in the documentation for HP support. He said to do, but not to turn the printer off first. He has not worked for me.

    I don't know if my path has really had no effect on the results, but it works now and I don't have to think about buying a new printer for awhile yet. I like this idea!

  • : HP Quicktouch on screen has stopped working, computer will not remain once I connect.

    So looking at the forums and everywhere on the internet, I know this problem starts because of an update that I installed it. But what I'm trying to understand why my computer will not remain after that window opens after I connect, because it restarts whenever I log in. I became extremely frustrated with this issue and I really don't know what to do. of course, there is the system restore, but that work? I can't find quicktouch in my list of programs to uninstall in safe mode, because this is the only mode that will allow me to stay very long. so if anyone has the answer please help me, it's super frustrating.

    Hi cavalierfanatic247,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Start on Safe Mode desktop.

    Remove the update that caused the broadcast of programs and features in Control Panel by clicking View installed updates.

    If you are not able to remove the update, use the utility window cleaning to remove the update. See the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    If the steps above did not fix the problem, try to restore the system to a previous point before windows update when it worked fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    You have an Essentials and HP drivers disk?

    If the system restore is not enough, you can use the HP Essentials and the disk drivers to uninstall and reinstall the quick key.

    Click Finish.

    I hope that this will really help you, good luck.

    Just a random adobe employee, but it is probably best to sign up today for the service and then just wait for happen to install and download the software from the computer.  Trying to get the discount retroactively applied sounds quite a bit more difficult, and you can set the account from any computer without installing anything.

  • How can I re - install Acrobat 9 Pro from a Master Collection CS4 to a new computer, but I don't want the rest of the collection? The prompt will not accept my serial number.

    I've migrated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from an old computer. When I try to run my adobe pdf files, the app invites me to enter a serial number. The number I have is for the CS4 Master Collection. The system will not accept this number. Anyone know what I can do in addition to re-setup of the entire collection (which I don't need)? And how to avoid having to buy a new Acrobat Pro?

    You can not migrate to the installations of the Adobe software from one system to the other, as these applications install plug-ins and various preferences and code in several locations on your system (Windows and Mac OS - and WIndows was also the question of a myriad of registry entries). You must disable it on your old system and installation of support on your new system. There is no shortcut for this. Sorry!
