My daughter just home from College with his laptop that died (in warranty about 6 weeks, but she waited to share with me until she got home). He's not past the first screen "to interrupt normal startup, press the blue Thinkvantage button.

I press the button, nothing.

F1 nothing

F8, F12 nothing.

I can't go through this screen. Help!

I have Win 7 loaded on a key USB bootable and also a DVD. How can I bypass this screen that appears instantly. All the procedures I've seen assume that there is a working pressure touches at this point...

Thank you!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting.

    Unfortnetly the user forums is managed by HP customer like you and me for the most part, so the chances of a person has been able to help in this case is quite thin. Your best bet is to phone HP numbers are here and tell them about this problem, if you are not with them. You can try and ask to speak with there customer service, these are the people who have the most power in call centers, so if you ask them nicley they may be able to help.

    Once more I do not work for Hp if it is something puerley I mean you could get somwhere.

    Good luck.. Keep us on how you can

    James

    EDIT: You may also be able to contact higher than people such as managers of customer service by selecting the option of the company instead of support afer by selecting your country and language from the link above, once you have done this, you can select Executive Director email or the comments button General according to which country you are in.

  • Pavilion D7 4177nr blank screen with cursor five days out of warranty.

    I have a Pavillion D7 portable 4177nr.   I have not had any problems with it by the window / the warranty period.   Five days after the expiration of the warranty I used it, walked for 20 minutes and returned to find a blank screen with blinking cursor.  I ran the diagnostics and everything passed.  I can't start in safe mode.  .   I am extremely disappointed, because I really liked this assistance please phone!

    Can you boot into the BIOS screen (pressing F10 when booting) and check if the laptop can be started in it?

    If so, I recommend to run the system diagnostics and check if the hardware on the unit works very well.

    In case it does, you can check if you can press F11 and restore your computer to factory settings. Please make sure that you back up your data before performing a recovery.

    You cannot discuss or talk on the phone with a professional Acer support if your SNID is listed as "out of warranty". You can will not receive a 3rd party that will help you for a fee. (very frustrating)

    After several attempts, I finally found someone with the 3rd party provider who was able to fix the status 'out of warranty '. The first tests I was told that they could not help me with the inaccurate warranty status because they do not work for Acer.

  • HELP NEEDED PLS EMERGENCY! -All new V313w printer paper feed - and apparently out of warranty already? If no support online?

    I bought a new laptop and printer V313w all-in-one a month ago. and I only turned on the printer for the first time today because of a need to send invitations to an upcoming event.

    I used the printer to print envelopes and about 15 sheets of specialty paper. Until all of a sudden it starts to chew the paper and do not supply through everything in print.

    I check online for drivers and updates and download all the relevant files. Try again and still has the same problem, whenever I have print now it chews paper. in fact, it looks like the print head is ripping through the paper.

    I try to find online for assistance too find that apparently it is already out of warranty?

    Everyone here has similar problems with the V313w? Is really starting to get frustrated, because I can't even contact Dell for assistance as I apparently no guarantee?

    Any help from people out there would be appreciated. I really need to try to get the last few invitations printed. (and I'm not buying a printer in order to 15 pieces of paper! only to have to throw it out and by another brand)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.

    After about 3 hours of trial and error. (and a lot of paper wasted and torn). I found the problem.

    V313w paper feeding, there are several small curlers who seem to be held in place using small springs. they are really hard to do because there is only one opening to remove the jammed paper. in my case, two of these rolls were lower than the rest. This has created in turn issues when printing because it would interrupt the queue through paper.

    After many difficulties, I finished with a set of pliers tweezers for these rolls in line with the rest of the rolls.

    Because now the printer seems to work, so I just assume that these rollers must have been shaken loose / out of position during childbirth.

    So for anyone having problems similar to the printer not feed paper and ripping upward, then check out these small rollers to ensure that it does not obstruct the paper to move through as expected.

  • iPhone 6 GPS | WIFI | BlueTooth low or NO Signal, out of warranty. Options?

    A took my phone in to the apple store 3 days ago, customer service agent said that my phone was weird as the firmware settings being a Verizon phone and no active carrier State. But I've been with ATT and same contract life of this phone, etc.

    He explained that a few weeks ago, I noticed really inaccurate GPS navigation / does not work. Then it is gradually degraded, now he can only determine my region approximate place of about 5 miles. Bluetooth started getting weaker and weaker to the point where it must be my headset in 2 PI or he cutt out / disconnects.

    WiFi is probably about 50% of what it was before regarding the speed and battery life, it seems the least affected but still very visible, will all the minutes and include to reconnect.

    We did a full AND fresh network iOS install and set up as a new phone, I have not restored from backup because I wanted to see if it was a software problem. But this isn't the case, because questions are still there even after reformatting.

    The iPhone is about 2 months out of warranty, what are my options? I see that you can send it in for repair, but I can't really go without a phone for 3-5 days. What is the cost of a replacement unit, all out of contract price?

    Ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated. My upgrade to pro rata happen att just before the iPhone 7 which is close but still a little further, trying to figure out how to wait outside until then with the least pain and money spent.

    While you were on the Apple store, you should have summer offer an out-of-warranty replacement. It would be kind of replacement and the cost for an iPhone 6 would be to $299.

  • OfficeJet 6830: out of warranty repair

    I have a 6830 who had a problem with printhead. I use the HP system failures and offered to repalce the printer HP as it was for 11 months in a 12 month warranty. I received the replacement printer which was a unit REFURBUSHED. I installed the replacement unit and it worked for about 1 week. At this point, I have a scanner error making the device unusable. At this point, I'm now outside the guarantee the guarantee is related to the original printer. I still go through the online troubleshooting system. He rejected me after entering new serial number to be outside the warranty period, which is still based on the original unit.

    A little, I have a problem with this strategy. Not only has HP me sent a unit refurbished, but it was not properly fixed at HP.  Now, I can't find a phone number to speak with a representative to see what they have to offer and to feel, they hide behind their support online self-service system.

  • How to send for repair if out of warranty?

    I bought a H5630 projector in 2010. Many pixels have start blocking in the last 2 weeks (maybe a hundred). Its caused by stuck mirror, something to do with being deffective DMD chips.

    Fleas DMD guarantee is suppose to be ok, the projector itself is not. How can I set a repair (im willing to pay for it) and get details about it if the warranty is voided. Web site always speak of 'use out of warranty support' when support will always lead to a wall saying ' guarantee is zero we can do anything "." This isn't what I call simple tech support...

    But anyway, I just want to ask acer for a price to fix (and bulb changed at the same time if possible).

    Thanks for your help.

    OK basically I looked again, went through the website and finally received an email, got on the phone here and here is the solution:

    -Appeal to their technical support

    -To change a DMD thing or anything like that, they charge a fee of like $ 208 to change it... in itself this isn't really a good price, but the trick is if you change the DMD and the bulb of the lamp (must be dead) then its... $ 208, not to say im just going to wait for the die of the lamp as its good enough for the total.

    Guy on the phone was helpful, thought I'd share the solution I finally get their hands on it.

  • Cost of recovery disc (all?)? Hard drive just died out of warranty

    DV7-3065DX, 16 months old and HD died a few days earlier, totally dead. I ordered a replacement, but now that I am out of warranty and of course I have no operating system (as it was on the disc now dead), can I order the disks with a discount at HP? Their office is closed now. Can I get Windows 7 family of Amazon for about a hundred bucks, but as I have a valid key on the back of this laptop hate the idea of paying for an OS I used legitimately. Thank you!

    You can order a recovery disc of HP for around $ 16. The game will reinstall Windows and all original drivers & software on the laptop.

  • Yoga 2 inches 11 cost of out-of-warranty battery replacement

    How much does it cost to replace the battery for the new Yoga 2 11 inches when you are out of warranty? Batteries die within 1 or 2 years about and at this time there, you're also out of warranty the standard warranty of 1 year. I'm looking into buying a portable Yoga 2 11 inches and a part of the decision-making process between this and other brand of PC or Macbook is how much it would cost to replace the battery, since it is a non-replaceable by the user stack. I know that with Apple, it's $ 129 to replace the battery. This information is readily available on the Internet. However with Lenovo, this information is not available everywhere.

    I have already contacted on the phone the Sales Department, which is unclear and transferred me to the tech Department, who told me that the parts or sales would have that information. When I told them that the sales referred me to tech, I was transferred to pieces. Parts told me that they need the serial number to give me an accurate price on the drum part, but since I don't, I told them that I'm interested in the Yoga 2 11 inch model to which they said they can't give me a price because they cannot know with certainty what is the part number. Yet once I tried sales, this time via online chat, and once again, they have no information and referred me to tech or contact a lenovo reseller.

    So nobody knows how much a battery replacement cost? Somebody should know since I do not know those charged to get their battery replaced some time down the line. I think it's a simple question, how much does it cost to replace a battery for the battery and work when you are out of warranty? Thank you

    Hello

    part numbers, you will need are 121500224 (lg) and 121500223 (simplo). for the price, I suggest you call again support.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion n012tx: how much RAM can I add to my laptop? If I do it myself, it will go out of warranty?

    I want to increase the RAM of my laptop. It has a 4 GB of ram that is not able to handle some tasks.

    1. I was wondering how much memory can I add to my laptop?

    2. what will be the cost of improvement for a chip of 4 gb of HP service center?

    3. If I do it myself, if my laptop is out of warranty or not?

    Good news for you. The memory is expandable to customer. There is an easy access on the bottom door. See page 47 here.

    Manual

    You can switch to 12 concerts by adding a 8 GB module in the empty slot. Adding a 4 GB module might actually be good too because the memory will run in dual channel, which is a bit faster. Not too many tasks really need more then 8 GB of RAM.

    This is the number of HP part 4 GB module you need:

    Module memory 4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) 691740-001, which looks like this:

    2 things are important. It is memory (DDR3L 1, 35 volts) low voltage and low density because of the 8 black blocks. Be sure to get the type of memory, so it's guaranteed compatibility.
