• HP Photosmart premium c310, Windows 7 (64 bit) series will not work afterit is turned off and then on again

  I have photosmart all-in-one c310 printer and whenever we have a power outage, the printer will not print at startup power upward. I have spend hours trying to download drivers or updates and check the printer that says it's fine and the computer that says it can't find the driver. The last 2 times I finally got running again, but I did something different every time and I don't remember what it was. I just spent 2 hours on a hamster wheel keeps back me for a download, after you download it twice, I finally understood was the SAME download (the 3rd time I was directed here) and the printer STILL does not work. I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to throw this worthless piece of scrap metal by the window. Help!

  Are you connected wireless? If so, you will need to reconnect the printer to the network of the SCW wireless on the printer itself. When you have power, he can hit just the printer off of the network from the router and just reconnect.

• Workstation Dell Precision T7400 will not power with ATI Radeon 5970 installed

  Hello

  I had my dream, the monster bi - GPU ATI Radeon 5970 video card and installed in my T7400 but the system will not start, all I get is a fast fan rotation and a kind of sounds from food, a bit like "Brrrnt, click on" led me to believe that the power supply could not handle my video card.

  The video card requires an 8pin and 6-pin power plug. When I plug the 8-pin and 6-pin and turn on the computer, is a no-go as shown above. When only the power plug 6-pin I plugged the PC sounds like it will start, the power of fans but no display as I expect.

  I tried this video card into the two PCI-Express slots with the same failure as a result. The computer works fine with the Nvidia Quadro 3700 in it... using a 6 power connector pins.

  I got the ATI Radeon HD 5970 video card in a store of the local computer and it had tested ($15) because I didn't test it in a spare computer and video card passed with flying colors...

  That's why I thought my 1000 Watt power supply was a problem, so as a bet, I ordered a replacement off eBay and received a sweater to work more the wiring harness and completely replaced the two who has a job to say the least! Have you tried to replace the wire bundle? a lot of work...

  I got it all back together, crossed my fingers and prayed and tried again and the same thing... NO LUCK... I put the graphic card Nvidia Quadro 3700 back in and the system of power like a charm.

  What on earth could it be the cause for it? I REALLY want to get this video card works in this system.

  I even tried a bios update and carefully watched the card mother and everything that I could to see if there's... nothing exploded capacitors...

  Please HELP - I want to get my game...

  Wesley

  I think I found the solution and I would like to mention it here to help others if they get him...

  A: the power of Dell for the T7400 was designed to produce five rails 12 volts @ 18 AMPS each and the video card requires approximately 45 to 50 amps to work properly. Video cables (one with a 8 pin) and 6-pin on the harness even seems to only provide amps 18 or more and the computer will not power because power protection circuit sees too many amps being requested by a 'rail' and turns off immediately...

  I went to electronics of FRY in San Jose and bought a few cards that helped divide the current between different sources, such as the cables of the hard drive and video.

  B: I have a small battery backup power unit and my T7400 was plugged into the saved game... When I got the video card to work, he could make a beep loud and after minutes cutting my T7400 due to the mainstream power support... I plugged the computer into a 'surge protector' but not battery backed up to the slot and since then had no problems...

  Now after several tests including FurMark, my graphics card stress works very well in this system... This is due to an unfortunate design in the T7400 power supply and wiring... Now that I have this solved, I hope that someone else can benefit...

  Get an adapter like this one, it allows to separate the power sources for the 8 power connector pin and use the PIN 6 original which is connected to the Dell printer condition 8 pin adapter, for the 6-pin slot... hope that makes sense... by trial and error, you got it right!

  I had one like this:

• Equium A60-157 will not power

  Hi people!

  Could someone offer a bit of expertise and tell me whether or not the series Equium A60 - 157 has a center pin in its socket? I need to know that my laptop doesn't have one and it will not power! I'm deeply frustrated because I paid at the time £999 and it doesn't work!

  I have a feeling that the PIN has cracked and is now part of my dc adapter but I need to be sure before I get it fixed!

  Also if this is the case anyone Kow how much it may cost to do fix an indicative maybe!

  Cheers for your help!

  Nick

  Hi Nick,

  Yes, I think the A60 use an outlet that has a central pin. The CAP at the end of the head of the AC must have a central hole. You can find that the spindle broke and is now stuck in the plug on the power cord. This is not a rare event on the series of satellites, laptops.

  The bad is more Servicers will simply replace the motherboard (where the socket is together) rather than perform a repair to the component level. It is obviously a costly option for you, but is probably more faster/easier for the repairman.

  I have, in the past, tried unsuccessfully to find a source for the plug for my A30 (just in case) but I only managed to find a supplier who could provide a component of second hand provided by a junk motherboard. :-(

  Kind regards

• laptop will not power. No blue light with ad adapter not plugged in.

  Lately, I've been jump the battery in and out to get the laptop (dv6) to propel to the top. This afternoon after a morning's work, the blue laptop ac adapter light does not illuminate and the laptop will not power.
  Naturally, I suspect the battery, but maybe it's the AC adapter. If all goes well, it is not the computer itself!

  Any ideas on what I should buy first. Am on business in Dubai and desperate!

  Thank you
  Jeff.

  Solved. Sort of.
  I bought a new battery and everything works as it should.
  The real question now is why stop a bad battery the notebook powered with the AC adapter is plugged?

  My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

  This may be a problem with the power supply for laptop. Power drain the computer once and then check to see if the same problem still exists. In order to drain the computer, disconnect all external devices from the computer and also to take the charger and battery, then press on and press and hold power for 30 seconds and release.

  Also a BIOS update if available on HP.com for model laptop.

  You can also see the computer in BIOS. Power on the computer and immediately, press the F10 key to load the BIOS, and then leave the computer as it is in the screen of the BIOS for some time and check if the computer turns off again and if it still cell phone off on its own while it is in the BIOS then contact HP and arrange for the service on the computer

  I'm just why my laptop turn off itself, because today ' today I was connected to Skype, I was talking with my family, but all of a sudden it turned off I don't know what is happening... can you please tell me what's happening.. .thank you

  Another thing is this may be WHAT BIOS is configured to shut down the PC at the same time. Which battery is low or adapter will be disconnected, and then PC also turns off. Some malware can also turn off PC, in order to check this run full scan with your anti-virus and see if something might detect.
