Start hp pevilion g6 problem

laptop is not up to scratch or refreshing

test drive showing

failure ID: 93047-G-6LS723-MFPX0K-60QK03

Hello

The error code will be a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and your notebook series g6 Nr - see here for an explanation.

Kind regards

    Original title: XP start help please...

    ... are to be turned off & on several times before monitor lights. Comp seems to start OK but the problem is with the screen. Do I have to make a boot disk & if so - HOW?

    Hello

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         Did you check the connection of the cable to the monitor?

    ·         Have you tried to update to the latest graphics card and motherboard chipset drivers?

    First, try to connect your monitor to a well known PC, maybe the old laptop that you use now. If the monitor works, the problem is with the video card in your PC. If the monitor does not light, the monitor. It is usually cheaper to buy a new monitor that in order to be an old repaired, unless the monitor is still under warranty.

    Try connecting a monitor well known to your PC. If the monitor works, your old monitor is fried and needs to be replaced.

    If your monitor works when connected to another PC, the problem could be your video card. First, and then you turn on your PC, the power and cooling case fans run they. If they do not, it could be the power supply.

    Then, open the computer case. Before you do anything inside, unplug the power supply.

    IMPORTANT! Touch any metal part of the computer case to connect to the PC. A single static spark can destroy computer circuits.

    If the video card is the type of card that plugs into a slot on the motherboard, remove the screws or attached at the top of the card, remove the card, to manipulate the card by the edges to avoid disturbing the circuits on the card, carefully and re - install the card. Sometimes simply reinstalling the card corrects the problem.

    If this does not work, replace the video card with a card of similar type. Perhaps now is the right time for an update of video card.

    If the video card is integrated into the motherboard, you can install a new card in one of the PCI slots on the motherboard. When the PC starts for the first time, go into the bios and disable the onboard video.

  • Start of updates causing problems

    Hello

    I have a vista operating system.

    Since a few months now whenever windows installs an update on my computer, the next time I go to start it it refuses to do.

    So I changed the settings to make sure it didn't install anything without anything to say then, but for some reason that the computer keeps deciding to change these settings on it installs and own agreement anyway. Which means that every week or two my computer will not start again. These problems occur only when it installs the microsoft windows updates that are not security ones or curiously Java.

    Anyone has an idea why it continues to be and how to stop it because it's getting pretty boring.

    Thank you.

    Java has its own update system, it does not use Windows Updates settings.  Open the Java Control Panel in the control panel to configure updates.  Probably something similar happens with other products you have to check their update setting.

  • Updated to FF - 17A started getting the old problems of 'connection '.... "with tabs - have never used renamizer - what's up?

    Whenever I open a tab, I get the name of the tab until the tap is open. Then it is replaced by the word "connection... »

    I read people with this problem a year ago, attributed to the renamizer plugin. I have never used the plugin renamizer and na not see this behavior until I just upgraded to version 17?

    (BTW, what's with the influx of major version releases?) Don't you think most of them should be minor point releases, or even patch releases? I wrote s/w, mainly in assembler, C and C++ with some Java thrown when I can't talk the customer out of it. One thing I've learned, it's that when major version releases come out with fast turnaround dates, something is usually not in the management of the code base. I was working with a customer earlier this year, that refuses to increase passes 4.x.x. Major releases must lead extension coders absolutely batsh * t crazy trying to keep up. Some of my favorites have long abandoned.)

    That said, my real question is, someone has identified not why I would get all of a sudden there is a problem that is attributed to an extension I have ever loaded a dozen versions return? I'd hate to start debugging or disable all extensions and start going through a flood of extensions, allowing them one at a time?

    Don't bother with this one. The culprit is FoxLingo. If that is loaded, I get the connection... label on each tab. Turn it off and back to normal. I don't know if it will be sort of a bad interaction with another extension, or if it will happen again if I disable everything except FoxLingo, but it will be someone else's problem. I'll leave the FoxLingo Developer (s) know about it.

  • Equium A60-692 - cannot open the start menu and keyboard problem

    I have a problem starting my laptop A60-692 and I'm not near the points of service.

    When I push the power button the screen goes through its startup routine gives her marching band welcome charge to the top of my desk.
    But when I click on the start only the start window flashes for a split sec and remains standing. If I press the windows key on the keyboard I can then click on the start and the start window appears on the screen.

    However if I open a program like note book or internet explorer, the keyboard will not and only gives a Bell sound when I use the keyboard. If I click Start, then shut down and click on restart the laptop turns off and then restart everything works fine!

    It's very boring and tedious. I'struggled with this for a long time, although it was not like that when new.
    Everyone had the same problem or have any advice to give?
    I would be very grateful!

    Hello

    Believe me it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    I would like to know where the mouse you are using. Use you touch pad s notebook or external mouse?
    If you use the s key to laptop please disable it with FN + F9 and test with an external mouse only.

    What about the response of the keyboard? You can also try to test with external keyboard only. Only in this way you can see if this issue has something to do with the internal keyboard.
    Please do some testing to see if this issues can be related to defective portable equipment.

  • Computer starting out of position problems.

    If I turned off my computer for a while and then turn it back on, it will not boot Windows. I have to keep turning on and outside and using the f2 and f12 and more, and after that he's finally going to windows xp, so I turn it off, I connect just off the coast. But when there is a storm and power outage, I have to go by this on and off, etc.. I have a Motorola DSL by ATT. Once it is on and stays on without problem, but there are times I want to stop it.

    This problem can be caused by a pile of dead motherboard.  When the power is off, the BIOS settings (and time) are maintained by this battery.  A battery flat can cause the BIOS settings be forgotten, causing starting issues as you describe.  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer or check your manual to learn how to open your suitcase and replace the battery.  It is usually a pile of disc quarter businesses often used in automotive keyless entry charms and garage remotes.

  • After restarting windows and then no error in config/system is finally windows starts successfully with no problems quo. __

    "windows couldnot start because the following file is missing" c:/windows/system32/config/system.
    This message appears at the first start, but when I press ctrl + Alt + Delete, restart windows and then no error in config/system does finally come windows starts successfully without problem usually. I searched on the internet that all solutions are given if windows XP does not start. But in my case after restart only a single window loads successfully. I'm dubious before using the recovery console.
    Please help everyone,
    no case I found the solution to this particular problem.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else. If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).


    Never, never, never start with the support engineer technical 'expert' who are hired by Microsoft to implement the KB307545.  You are likely to be in for a frustrating waste of time and might just make things worse.

    Always, always, always start with a chkdsk with first error correction.

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
    A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
    If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).
    If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

  • Start up and boot problem. Hard drive error. HP pavilion laptop Home Premium. Windows Vista preinstalled. No cd came with it.

    Nothing new added to comp. Got the hard drive error message and followed the instructions to fix/repair. All translations tried (almost every test suggested/memory/hard drive, etc.) could find NO problem with the memory or hard drive.  Once I have pass the problem to boot/start the computer works fine!   Crazy!  Any sugg. would be appreciated.

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        What are the fix and repair that you tried to solve this problem?

    ·        Outside this disk verification error, do you get any other error message?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to do a scan of the SFC. File system (CFS) Auditor verifies that all Windows 7 system files are where they should be as they are by default and not corrupted, changed or damaged.

    ·        Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator.

    ·        Click on continue or provide administrator credentials if prompted.

    ·        In the command prompt window, type the following text, and then press ENTER:

    ·        sfc/scannow

    ·        You should see the following message on the screen:

    § Begin the analysis of the system. This process will take time.

    § Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    ·        % Of verification complete.

    ·        Once the scan is complete, a test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved or not.

    For more information, see the article mentioned below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to set Chkdsk to run when the system restarts the next time. Follow the steps mentioned below to set Chkdsk to run when Windows Vista reboots the next time.

    a. click on start, then run.

    b. in open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

    c. use one of the following procedures:

    Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

    Procedure 2: To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / f, and then press ENTER.

    Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

    a. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    Procedure 2: To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

    a. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    When my computer starts and the window symbol came in the middle of the screen it usually make a sound now it stop doing the sound please help me solve this and it takes a long time to start too

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  • Windows 7 starter system tray icon problem

    Hello

    Recently, I met a problem with my wifi icon in the system tray. At startup, the icon does not and continues to lead the blue sign loading. On right click, it turns into a different icon with a red x. To the left by clicking on the icon does absolutely nothing however other icons work perfectly well. The section in the control panel associated with networking also does not.

    I am able to access the internet on some sites. Some sites like hotmail etc do not load.

    I tried to reboot in safe mode, and there is no problem however, troubleshooting doesn't show anything wrong. Enter services.msc, there is nothing to slow down the computer.

Even for network (NIC) card - then right click on the devices and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stacks.

    Now go look at the site of the manufacturer of the system for the updated drivers.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Windows 7 like the updated drivers.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to turn off the pilot facilities in Windows updates, that leaves is to Windows Update, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it), then go get new ones manually if you wish.
