Spontaneous Pavilion dm4 embellished a key crash

My four-year-old dm4 Pavilion computer spontaneously crashed tonight. He simply went dead sitting idle.

By clicking the start/stop button does not work, and no more than to remove and reinsert the battery. Now here's the twist:

For smiles and giggles, I pressed the power button everything in the re - insert the battery. Here and she came back to life, but for just 30 seconds. Then it dies again.

I repeated several times and the result is the same: the laptop comes back to life for somewhere between 5 and 30 seconds, then dies again.

My best guess is a faulty battery. However, before I take out money on a new battery or take it to the store, I would like to get some feedback from the community.

BTW, the same thing happens regardless of whether the power cord is attached.

At this point, it might be the power adapter, power supply, power button card or the motherboard itself.

The power adapter on the rule, you happen to have another system to use it to verify that it indeed works? If the adapter did not, the battery may not be sufficiently exposed to power only and it would not power off of the AC adapter.

  • HP Pavilion dm4: graphics driver Intel & AMD causing Windows Crash

    Hello.

    My laptop is

    HP Pavilion dm4-3107tx Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook PC.   I tried to install the graphics drivers from this link:

    http://support.HP.com/ph-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-DM4-3100-beats-Edition-entertainment-not...

    but I could not install the graphics card intel. It is said that the cell does not meet the minimum requirements of the graphics driver.

    I also tried to install AMD and he did. But every time that I reboot, Windows startup crashes.

    I also noticed that results for starting blocked when I recently updated my Windows, including the update for the driver intel which I have not yet installed (because I know that once I did, I do a lot of recovery and repair of the system for the umpteenth time).

    And now I feel really stressed out about it because I've been formatted my laptop for the second time, and the last time it was with the release of the pilot intel. I was stuck again started back and I got really tired of him.

    I really need help with that.

    What I have to install ALL the drivers in the link before installing graphics drivers to ensure that graphics drivers will install?

    Hi @katrinahahaha,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that you have a problem installing your graphics drivers.  After formatting the drive and installation of the Intel graphics driver, you have a problem starting.  Did you use the Recovery Manager to format and reinstall Windows 7?

    You only need to install the driver AMD of the HP driver page because it contains the two pilots.  Please try this process:

    • Uninstall and remove two graphic drivers
    • Restart your laptop
    • Run the HP Support Assistant to help find and install the graphics drivers
    • You can also after the uninstall, remove the driver and restart, download and install just the driver AMD.

    HP Support Assistant

    If this problem persists, try removing both drivers and using the Recovery Manager to install the drivers:

    Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 7)

    Please let me know the results.

  • Pavilion dm4, replacing hard drive

    So, I have a HP Pavilion dm4 1165 c: windows 7 64 bit, around a Yes and a half old.

    A week before, the hard drive suffered a kind of permanent fatal event and quietly left this death spiral.  If you want to know: any type of shoe was impossible.  System recovery could not even see the drive, an external drive could not speak of it, and it crashed to any machine that has tried.  I had to send it to data recovery - they tell me that the reader has hard errors and at least one of the drive heads does not.  They will be able to pick up stuff for me, but the reader is a loss (yes I know, I know - I should have backed up).

    So in my opinion it - I have two problems to solve.  1. I need a new hard drive.  2 - I need stuff to put on my hard drive (it came with nothing - I don't have the disc for the operating system, drivers, nothing).  That offer HP which determination of these problems?  How much are these options?  Who should I talk to?  (I tried to call tech support, but there was a bit of a language barrier.  Also, I'm out of warranty, and they want $60 to solve problems before they'll still talk about replacement of hardware and/or software).

    Hello:

    You can order a 500 GB hard drive 7 200 to replace your existing one.  You can't go smaller if you want to use recovery disks.

    I love this place to order PC hardware.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/ProductList.aspx?submit=Ene&N=100007605%20600030594&IsNodeId=1&BOP=and&order=rating&PageSize=20

    I'd go with the first listed, but it is up to you. Look at the reviews and the price and choose the one that suits you best.

    You can order HP recovery discs. You will need to call them as the link to the website to order them is broken.  Cost should be less than $20.00

    You will need the complete model number of your PC. I do not see a dm4 - 1165dm.  I see a dm4 - 1165dx, and you will need to provide the serial number.

    If HP has a set of recovery disc for your PC, you can use this workaround to install W7 on your new HARD drive.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Hi @orangeg66,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook and P2PP Burnboot could not install. I have seen that date back to 2012 first of all, and then by a default BIOS withthis document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop. Restore factory default BIOS works on it.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion dm4-1024tx Enterta: upgrade to 8 GB of memory and is blue screen problem

    Product: HP Pavilion dm4-1024tx Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have corsair Vengeance ram 8 GB (CMSX8GX3M1A1600C10) that as a result of the configurations as mentioned below:
     
    SPD 9-9-9-24 latency
    SPD speed 1333 Mhz

    It passes the test of memory BIOS.
     
    BIOS VERSION: Hewlett-Packard F.27, 21/12/2011
     
     
    But when I boot windows 7, it shows the windows symbol and then it shows the blue screen with the error
     
    STOP: 0X0000007E
     
    If I replace memory corsair with the memory that has been delivered with the laptop the system only works very well.
     
    Corsair memory is not compatible with the system?
     
    I have a dual boot and installed ubuntu on this subject. Ubuntu loads perfectly fine, but after a while the system restarts automatically (IE open application).
     
    I tried memorytest86 to test the memory, but the application continue to crash and reboot and does not provide any results.
     
    Help, please.

    The RAM is not compatible. The system allows a maximum total memory of 8 GB and uses DDR3-1333 which downclocks at 1066 speed. You cannot use a single module of 8 GB. 4 gigs is the large single module supports the system. I suspect the memory that you have will work fine if you had modules of 2 x 4 GB instead of a single module of 8 GB. That's why memtest is not finished. The controller memory motherboard is not able to take up 8 GB of RAM by a single channel.

  • Mousepad does not not Pavilion dm4

    Last night I woke up my computer to see that my mousepad not working. I thought it was some glitch like many others I've already found on this laptop (keys sound did not work properly, led light silent, not wanting to come away, etc.) And hope to restart and to solve the problem. Today, after the reboot, my mouse pad still does not work and I, apparently, am not the only one with this problem.

    My specs:

    HP Pavilion dm4-2070us

    Windows 7 Home Prem OA

    I tried updating the driver (he says that the version that was linked to the exact identical on my hard drive) and I also tried the update of the BIOS with the same result. The mouse pad IS NOT off. If it's light is no longer on this subject as well and it is stuck in stop mode. The mouse pad does not appear in the Control Panel, no matter what I do.

    I'm tired of all the problems that I've had so far on this laptop because I got it since mid-August. My friend told me that HP has been much better than Dell, so I went with it instead that little birdie told me. I was bragging to everyone how wonderful this computer was, but now I feel like I should go back and apologize to all my friends. Please say it is an easy fix and I forget something quite obvious. I wouldn't turn my back on HP for a computer laptop stupid.

    Currently, I solved the problem. If anyone has a similar problem to mine, before sending it in, maybe you can try what I did. Last night I let my computer choke completely then took out the battery for a few seconds. After that, I plugged and let it load a bit (maybe 30 minutes?) before trying to start it and try again the mouse pad. It works fine now, the zoom in/out and Ahmed seem to even work a bit better now.

  • HP Pavilion dm4 2165dx: cannot install the wireless driver

    Hello:

    You should see a device labeled network controller listed under other devices in Device Manager if necessary the driver wireless card.

    There is something wrong.

    1. the wireless card needs the HP Connection Manager software installed so it can be activated by using the software, then you should be able to install the driver or the Terminator post will be installed.

    HP connection manager

    File name: sp54945.exe

    2. the wireless card is bad and must be replaced, or must be removed and reinstalled because of an oxidized connection.

    3. the motherboard is bad.

    Also install software quick launch to ensure that all Fn keys work correctly.  There's a chance outside that might be the problem, but I doubt it.

  • Pavilion DM4 - 3090 Beats Edition - could not retrieve the BIOS update failed

    Hello everyone.

    I was trhe proud owner of a HP Pavilion dm4-3090 Beats Edition until two days ago, when I updated my BIOS, but I was unable to power on the laptop again. The system simply feeds the button WE and the Wifi (F12), HARD drive turns a bit, DVD player makes a noise and powers of fan on any USB flash drive connected to power system; but only for a period of 1-3 seconds.

     


    This process is repeated every 2 to 3 seconds.

    I have vain tried to restore the BIOS from the HARD drive (the HARD drive has not changed, I have still the partition HP_TOOLS in), with key combinations: Windows + B, Windows + P, Windows + Esc, Esc + Fn, Fn + B, Fn + P, four arrows. I also tried to do this via USB flash drive (with UEFI tool provided by HP), put some BIOS downloaded HP in the root and the current, New records and previous USB drive, once again, in vain. The laptop seems forever trying to read the USB key, just it under tension and that's all.

    So my question is if you please tell me what I do wrong and also, is there is another way to try to get it back.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Resolved to send to a third party service for a reflash BIOS.

I recently got a new hard drive and installed but when I turn on the computer, it says I need to insert a boot disk, and then press any key. Where can I get a boot disk and do I need anything else?

    You did a defined recovery disk? Generally, you are prompted to make a little time after you set up the laptop. If you have it boot from install Windows and some original software/drivers.

    If you do not have a recovery media you can always order from HP. give a call to support to know if it is still available.

  • On my brilliance of PC hp pavilion dm4 laptop controls do not work for a week.

    Product name: HP pavilion dm4

    Product number: LW475UA #ABA

    Operating system: Windows7 64-bit Home Premium

    For about a week, I'm not able to change the brightness on my laptop. Before I used to decrease f2 and f3 to increase the brightness of the screen. I do not know what is is past these commands stopped working, but (f10, f11) volume controls are still working fine now too.

    I contacted the support center hp on this issue they updated the graphics driver and they have updated the bios also but the problem is not resolved.

    When I click on the controls of light I can see the brightness meter icon but it wont increase or decrease when I press f3 or f2, respectively and the brightness meter shows brightness is at the lowest level that it is at the highest level.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hey I found the solution for my problem. On my laptop brightness controls do not work because I installed logmein (remote desktop) application that also installs some graphics drivers if you want that the features of the rotation of the screen on my laptop when I access my laptop to remote location. It seems that this driver causing the problem, when I completely uninstalled the app logmein brightness keys still work. For you all similar applications like this can be the cause of the problem. To solve this, go to the device (device type in the start menu Manager) see Manager is related to the applications that you have installed all the drivers are there under the display adapters in the Device Manager window, in the affirmative, uninstall applications completely it may solve your problem too.

  • Pavilion dm4 - 1063cl, corrupt Bios, interrupted Bios Update.

    Help, please.

    Recently, I had bought a second hand Pavilion dm4 - 1063cl with 4 gigs ram and installed with Windows 7 Ultimate edition. Windows 7 installation was completed just before my purchase because the seller wanted to wipe the HD before the sale as a result, the partition which held recovery options has been erased. Of course, before buying, the laptop was functional as much as will allow windows and Explorer.

    Following the statement, that I had located in the HP support site, I had created a recovery option using the SoftPAQ's Support of HP UEFI environment. After reviewing the content of the USB stick on another computer, I followed the instructions and I tried starting the dm4 Paviliion afflicted by the windows key 'B' depressed and still have the black screen and caps lock key double still flashing.

    Interrpreting the caplock key flashes as a single flash or a double flash, I'm ready to exchange the RAM but, make the assumption there is nothing wrong with ram you, what else can I try to get this laptop operating again?

    Hello people,

    I have a very frustrating problem with my HP Pavilion dm4 - 3.55dx Entertainment PC running Windows 7. I bought it 3 months back and it worked very well at the speed I expected to until yesterday when I restarted.

    I was watching videos on youtube when my google chrome crashed. And then every time I restarted chrome, it would start but will not let me type. As a result, I started using Firefox and that worked very well. But I had all my bookmarks and stuff on Firefox so I decided to restart my laptop, hoping that would solve the problem of chrome.

    When it restarted, everything went well, I connected and my office has appeared, but it froze. I couldn't do anything and he would not recognize the clicks. Nothing seemed to work so I used the power button on for close and tried again. The same problem. Then I opened a session in Safe Mode and checked the event viewer and there was an error on the Microsoft .NET Framework v4 period.

    I also had DCOM 1084 errors but I'm assuming this is because I was in safe mode in time. The other persistent mistake was my WLAN won't start not in Normal mode (I can access the internet fine with safe mode). I read on some forums that a virus could be the problem so I uninstalled Avast, but which did not help. Nothing seemed to help, so I restored my system to July 31. It is while I had the latest update of Windows. Yet once again, the problem still exists.

    This morning the only mistake in the case where the viewer was the Search Service Windows does not but the laptop still frozen every time so I disabled the search service, but that did not help either. The system still freezes whenever I starts in Normal mode, but it records all errors in the system event viewer folder. There is one in the application log on the description for event ID 1003 from source that ISCT Agent cannot be found.

    I don't know what the problem with my laptop. Everything worked as it should until reboot. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!
