Possible failure of power and reformatting

Hey everybody!

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC, Windows Vista, AMD 64 Athlon x 2. It is about 2-3 years of age. I got it on Christmas Eve, which has not the power to the House. I have a surge protector, but I don't think it worked. I tried to start the computer, but it will not go beyond the bar of Microsoft Corporation which shows that it is loading, you know... this green light bar that goes from left to right. He worked there for a minute and then past the HP Invent screen with the list of the 'F' keys down for manual startup, recovery etc.. I tried all the options without success so he can begin. It seems that the info from the backup and recovery is non-existent and I don't have a boot CD. There is no restore point either. I don't have a Vista CD and I don't know that I've never had a. I bought the system of staples and don't remember there being one with the system and if there is I can't find it now. I was wondering what are the possibilities to get the serial numbers for a location on the computer and go to Microsoft to download or another CD. In addition, what is the process to wipe the hard drive and start over, or with Vista or perhaps even buy the new 7? Instructions, information or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest clearing the CMOS (prn. see moss).  CMOS stores the BIOS settings.  Maybe it's that they have become corrupt when the electricity cut off the computer.

Also, here's a guide "looking for recovery discs?'.»»  You probably don't have the disks.  You might have their due to the computer.  Now, however, you will need to buy them from HP, if they are still available.

Good luck!

  • Satellite P850-12Z is not responsve to power and imput

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite P850-12Z.
    I used it yesterday when the screen went white. The power light was off, even though it was plugged and it could not turn on with the switch. I've left to cool to room temperature (which is fairly low, at about 20 ° C) and tried again, still no response to any input. I removed the battery to try just AC, still nothing, tried the opposite and it's the same result.

    At the time I used it I used it just for word and open some tabs on chrome, none of which should put under duress at the time of the failure that it was warm to the touch, but not hot.

    My first assumption of the cause was the adapter has failed, but because she had a full battery that seemed unlikely.
    Second guess is that power management must be fried.
    Last assumption is that the CPU is fried.

    Anyone would be able to shed some light on this for me, it is possible to repair my laptop, I need it for work and college.

    Oh and its out of warranty of one year.

    Thank you
    Silveress.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you have such a problem with your machine. Try to reset your machine please. Disconnect the power and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for about 20 seconds and leave it for a while. Only connect the power supply and try to turn on your machine.

    You know, on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my opinion best optin for you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

    > Everything was going well until I went to a place of friends with her and plugged to the power
    Did you use the right adapter?

    To be honest, it looks like a malfunction of the power supply motherboard maybe electronic issue of power.
    the power indicator would start flashing amber if the AC adapter voltage is abnormal or failure of computer power supply.

  • Black screen, but powe and fan

    For shiva nb200 XP won't start. Push the power and the power of the battery and plug lights come one like the fact the fan, but nothing on the screen. Will not answer all the functions F. Reprenaient apart and put together and nothing helped. Think I've done the CMOS thing but honestly don't know if I'm doing things. So to recap, push on the power symbol power lights fan turns on but screen remains black, computer stays on until the power is eventually but never boots. F functions don't work not done a drain of power and took all of this out, nothing works. It is a hardware failure which is not?

  • Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

    HP TouchSmart 610-1020 has

    i5 6 GB RAM 64 bit

    Windows 7 Home Edition Premium--> Windows 8

    Hi there, since a terrible week for me I started to receive the error message:

    Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

    only when am re - / from my PC.

    I made a backup already a few days ago (space available was already 85% - did not much), run all those disk cleanup, defragmentation, analyze and verify programs and there was nothing wrong. I ran all possible controls and it had nothing recorded. I've updated / installed Windows 8 which works perfectly without any problems, no computer crash or that it is, but only sometimes receive a message saying that I need to run/shedule a back, etc.

    As I already mentioned, there was no disk error, no other problems known but still get the message "hard drive failure is imminent and should be replaced" and crazy!

    My questions are:

    (1) what on Earth is happening, there is always a problem with touch smart PC; should he stay away all in a desktop PC and just buy older versions - separate screen and tour, etc.?

    (2) I have no problem and continue to use my PC but wonder what will happen; It will be down, it's just a false error message, what should I do?

    (3) if I have to take it to a service, what should I take care of?

    Thank you for taking your time and wil appreciate for your posts about.

    Hello

    What has happened is that the CHIP system reports told you that your hard drive will fail little time. It is good that you have saved.  The fault lies not in all of your PC, but in a single component, namely the hard disk. You own your PC like one year standard warranty is longer.

    You need to buy a hard drive with the following specifications. It of time to find your recovery disc as you need to recover your PC in its delivered State and then apply the upgrade 8 to win again. You can install it yourself or have done by a qualified PC store or from an HP Service Technician. The HP service center is the most expensive option.

    You can avoid having to use the recovery disk and upgrade by a clone of your hard drive on a 1.5 TB external drive. You will be able to migrate the clone on the new diskette with a product commercially available as Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12.

    Hello

    There are different methods to reinstall Windows 7.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    _________________________________________

    This may or may not work as you have changed the original operating system:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  • Express Port Replicator II and Tecra A10 - 12Z - only the power and LAN

    Since my Toshiba T3600CT I received with docking station, I discovered that I have a docking station. In the meantime, I had a small Sony who had no docking station, for which I got one of the first USB docking station and since then I've seen always to get laptops with docking station.

    But this time something went really wrong, the Toshiba Express Port Replicator II PA3680E-2PRP provides only power and LAN. There is no power in the USB ports, so no serial port or the sound, and DVI and VGA are also disabled.

    All these ports work fine on the Tecra A10, but not on the docking station.

    Of course, it is nice to have the power and LAN, but not when I expected too much of everything.
    So I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, it is like upgrading the BIOS for me who have not installed all the necessary software, or is it a fuse or something I could fix myself or is it a faulty docking that shouldn't have left the factory?

    Hello

    What's your Tecra pre-installed with original recovery image?

    When the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image simply connect compatible laptop Toshiba docking station and all the devices connected to the docking station will be recognized correctly and all available ports should work fine.

    Hello

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Start Notepad and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if the lights now now disable to stop correctly.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

    Kind regards
