Hello

Normally I don't expect that optical drives on laptops have same life expectancy compared to fixed players of our systems in the House. I always use external ODD mine are larger, they use separate power supplies. I bought one of them for the $360 4 all about or 5 years back and it is still ongoing.

Kind regards.

  • Webcam HP Pavilion DV6 has stopped working, it worked before, the message says webcam not started.

    The pre installed webcam works perfectly, but somehow, it works now so I;  I have re-insatalled Cyberlink software, but the webcam is not listed in devoce Manager, I get a message saying that the webcam is not started or is not found.  CyberLink Youcam software opens well, but the camera seems not to turn on. Is there a switch for the webcam harware? As there is a work around and turn off the WiFi? Perhaps a system configuration that controls what devices at boot time startup. It's as if the unit is just off, not activated, the close the lens light now, it used to.

    Your help will be very appreciated.  How can I activate my WebCam HP pre-installed?

    TIA

    It comes to my HP Pavilion dv6and the problem of my WebCam suddenly stopping.  I have posted two previous requests for assistance, does NOT see much in the way of answers.

    If I had held my breath waiting for some help or answers to this place - I'd be dead now days.  I tried everything I could think of; reinstalled the software, drivers.  But the error message was always the same saying that "the webcam was NOT turned on."  Back, through some other posts, that I could see that others have also had the same problem and all the guys from HP that mentions his HP job; has said was to reistall the software, or choose the webcam in the CyberLink WebCam software. but this option is still grayed out.

    So I just bit the bullet, because I had to do in the past.  I took off the inside of the plastic frame for the screen at the top and sides.  I had to unscrew two screws at the bottom of the screen frame to the hinges, under self-adhesive pads oval plastic/rubber.  In the Center, you can see the small Assembly of camera and microphone, with white wires, it will.  At that time, I had to put on a second pair of reading glasses, because the parts are so small.  I finally found a tiny multi wired plug-and - taken right of camera lens Center.  I loosened and then pushed with a small bamboo skewer.  When I buttoned up things up; and restarted the CyberLink WebCam driver program came to light on near the lens and the camera showed a live video image which aimed directly at me.  This plastic frame is very fragile and the two small screws will immediately far jump on the floor that you haven't cleaned vacuuming lately.  Has disappeared!

    I must say that I have had absolutely NO help from anyone at HP, I is uncomfortable taking my laptop apart to fix a poorly designed plug/plug obvious for the WebCam.  I like really this computer basically, perfect Beats Audio work for my deafness, I get more and more clear than any other volume laptop that I have tried over the past 20 years.

    I added Ram 16GBs of memory, but I have not noticed that much improvement, maybe when I make more digital video, CAD/CAM and photographics.

    I hope HP can get the image into the connector on the WebCam release and let us know how to fix it with a technology tech or something.  I tried searching and was NOT able to find the answers for my laptop either, I had the chance-out to allow him to run again, I hope you can get yours working again too.

    See you soon,.

  • the Windows Firewall has stopped working

    I tried the system restore to just before it stopped working

    Hi geoffrey,.

    System restore would have been my first suggestion, so that was an excellent choice on your part.  I would try it again maybe a few days earlier just to be safe, he did not start before you really notice or before, it became clear, as it is certainly the simplest answer, but frankly, I doubt that it will be more effective (but who knows - he can come back works perfectly and we are both happy, it was considered).  He also suggested that you know a little about computers, so I can provide instructions that contain everything you need but I will not go into nauseous detail unless you get stuck on a step and then you should post any problem you encounter and I will provide more help.  If you should post, don't forget to answer as many questions and include both the results of the proceedings or reports or copies or screenshots of screen that you can at the same time, so we can work on what to do then if none of this made the turn.

    How do you know if what she has stopped working?  Do you have an error message (if so, what was the full and exact message Word for Word, including all codes)?  You have more than one firewall installed on your system (like that which is part of Norton Internet Security, Comodo, or something else)?  What security programs do you use and that you have installed (all names and versions)?  What version of Windows you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2 or other - please be precise otherwise)?  When this occurred and did you a software or a hardware changes (additions, deletions, upgrades or anything like that) since two weeks before the problem (if so, precisely what has been done in as much detail as possible)?

    Do you get this Center security or firewall Windows itself?  If you are using XP, post back with answers given that there is a limit to the options how can I cover without knowing the basic information.  If you use Vista or W7, go to Security Center or action center and check to see if there is a problem with the notification of the firewall or it's on.  If it's not on, it shows the details or links containing information about the problem?  If Yes, go to these links and copy the information and post here, so we can look at.

    Then go into firewall Windows itself (on the left side of the screen) and confirm that there is a problem.  If she too says it is disabled, click on change settings.  Make sure the firewall is turned on - if not turn it on, click on apply and then click OK and confirm that it starts and begins to work.  If it does not start, it provides an error message (If Yes, what is completely and exactly Word for Word with all codes)?  Click Advanced, and verify that all network connections are checked - make if all are not and click OK, then again try to turn on the firewall.

    If this does not work, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and then highlight the Windows Firewall and click Open.  Click dependencies and go to each of them and make sure they are started and automatic.  Otherwise change it to automatic and start them.  If it is impossible to do, check their dependencies and do the same until you reach the end of the chain of dependence.  Now return to Windows Firewall and make sure that it is set to automatic and started.  Then restart.  When the system returns, return to the service and confirm that the Windows Firewall is started and automatic.

    Now, go into Windows Firewall and again try to launch and see if it lights.  Go to the center of security or Action and check that the firewall is enabled and works.  If so, the problem can be solved.  Just to be sure, restart and check the firewall to ensure that it is on and working.  If so, who should be the one.  But we do not know why it stopped, and if the problem may come back, then we must redouble efforts to find the cause or confirm that there is no problem.  Moreover, if the above did not work and Windows Firewall is still off, here's what you should do in any case.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer and look for error messages regarding the Windows Firewall (there will be errors).  Look in system first and then in Applications.  When you find the error or errors, click on it for details, copy these details and display them in your next reply.  Well, they can help us identify the source of the problem and there a fix for it.

    We will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and try to fix it:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    Then, we will confirm this is not caused by a malware any.

    Update and run a full scan with no matter what security software you use, and remove or quarantine everything you find.

    First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

    Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

    Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials?
