TouchSmart 520: The computer is stuck on the opening of the screens.

Hi all

It will be a little long because I try to give as much detail as possible. I have a desktop HP Touchsmart 520. The other day, I want to run an OS based on Linux from a USB key. I did once before, so I did what I did the last time. I unplugged, take off the back, then removed the hard drive, then plugged the USB key. I was hoping that since I didn't drive hard in, the computer would then operate the stick because of the boot order. He did bring up the screen of the OS, but gave me an error on failure. I turned it off and then return and go to the bios to change the configuration. I found the USB from the menu, but couldn't move, so I tried to disable the first option for the hard drive. I plugged the USB back in, but it does not still work, so I tried to drive hard back. Something happened somewhere in all this, the computer froze, so I tried to hit different buttons to see if I could get an answer, but nothing, so I cut. When I cut back on, I can't no longer to enter the BIOS. The usual HP screen comes up and says press ESC to enter on the start menu, and if I hit him in the first second coming he will take me to a black screen that has my computer on this subject record, starting with the processor type, processor speed, etc. (if I hit any button in a moment the computer hangs on the HP screen). This black screen is as far as I can go and the computer always crashes here, no matter what button I push, but it is said in the lower right corner of the activity for any button I pressed on, for example if I press F2 on the HP screen, it will go to the black screen with my characteristics and in the lower right It will read Diagnostics; If I am pressing F10, it will do as above but read the configuration. He never goes beyond this screen. I know that's not my hard drive, because he wasn't in when it started happening, nor is it possible that a virus has been on the USB port, as it's a BONE checked and I do not use this stick for something else. I know that something happened when I was in the BIOS, but I don't know how to fix it. Nobody knows what is happening or what I can do to try to fix it? It would be very appreciated that I can't afford to take it in, and I don't think it's a bad thing in the first place, I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks to you all!

Hello

seems that there is a corruption of the bios. First try to make BIOS clear CMOS. He must go, unplug the power supply, open it on the back and to remove the RTC (real time clock) battery for a couple miutes and then turn the unit and go to the bios and load bios defaults. As a guide to go and use the services for your product guide. You specify exactly which model you have (model number or product number), but look on hp.com for service guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03357415 for more details.

Note that this operation to be experienced user but you wrote that you have disconnected the HARD drive, you have already opened the unit if you wait is at the level to do so.

If the RTC cmos clear won't help, report back and we will help you make bios flash BACK.

  • TouchSmart 520 a secondary device

    I have a 520 Touchsmart and the screen would be a very nice monitor. I was wondering if you can connect to a PC with an HDMI cable and use it as a monitor to save money. Google is not my friend, so-... Any suggestions?

    Hello @Hillbilleh,

    I understand that you are looking to use the HP Touchsmart 520 screen as a monitor and are wondering how to do it. Unfortunately, you can't do that you are wanting to do. The HP Touchsmart 520 is a computer with a screen built in and not a screen with a monitor built-in. This means asside game HDMI port THAT actually lead ALL other ports in and out of the computer and not the monitor. Therefore, it is very difficult without tearing the computer to use the display in the way that you are wanting to do.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP TouchSmart 520-1030: recovery of the disks are no longer available from the HP Support

    I am trying to help a friend who's HP TouchSmart 520-1030 hard disk is dead.  I have the HP support site, fill out forms to buy 5 DVD System Recovery Disk Set Kit for this system. He even asked for my credit card information. Only after that I entered all this information, the system told me that the recovery kit was no longer available for this system. I tried to download a Windows 7 from Microsoft, but because the key of Windows 7 has been an OEM key, they told me I'd get from HP. I called HP support and they said that they could not get the kit. I asked them if I bought a new copy of Windows 7, the drivers would be available at HP. The phone technology said he didn't know. I asked him if he could tell me how I could know, he says 'No, good night' and hung up. I was not rude or anything. Very professional, in my opinion. In any case, I'm stuck. I know that my friend should have the recovery disks, but it didn't. Does this mean that he should throw a 3 year, $750 all-n-one computer? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    If HP does no more, it is available here:

  • 520 TouchSmart all-in-One begins, but the screen is black.

    Hi all

    I had a Touchsmart 520 for 2.5 years (warranty expired it y a.5 year) and enjoy a lot of the computer.

    One day the screen flicked once, and since then, he's black.

    The computer is still active. I can turn it on and can be accessed via the network.

    The problem is that the screen.

    I ordered a new screen from ebay, but of no use. I got a new MB, but always the same question.

    I even tried to take graphics cards out there (as I thought Valentine's) and I tried to use the support of the onboard graphics, but still no use.

    So, new screen + Mo + LED backlite, the computer is running, but the screen is black.

    One to the rescue?

    Thank you

    Roye

    Hello again Roee,

    Thank you for the updated information and I can actually respond directly to the question of how it is connected. You're right it's the LG 6pin cable that provides power to the converter card, while the backlight is also connected to the converter card. I am providing you with a link to the list of HP parts store the parts of your computer where you can see the part number 654251-001 - rear panel light FFC (LG 6pin) 250 mm. You will also see the part number 653864-001-23 converter card which you may need to replace.

    You can also buy the parts there, too, if you wish.

    I was unable to locate the manuals or documents that would give you clear instructions on how to properly install the BACKLIGHT, but you can follow the basic steps in reinstalling the converter card that I have set out below:

    Step 1. Gently detach the connectors of power and backlight of the Board of Directors
    Note that the location of the connector backlight will vary according to the manufacturer of Panel
    Step 2. Remove both screws of the card and pull the jury on the PC
    Step 4. Align the two holes on the plate with the spacers inside the unit
    Step 5. Replace the two screws of the Commission of the converter
    Step 6. Replace the connectors of power and backlight to the Board of Directors
    Step 7. Set the DIP switch on the Board to match the configuration for panels manufacturers

    The configuration of the DIP switch for each manufacturer of Panel is painted stencil on the converter card itself

    Please re-post if you need extra support. Thank you again for post you on the HP Forums. Have a wonderful day!

  • HP Touchsmart 520-1020 PC: installation of operating system/recovery on the new HARD disk media?

    Hello everyone!

    I recently bought and installed a new hard drive on my Touchsmart 520-1020 after that started to spoil. Given that I don't return to the top of my media and the model was old enough, I had to buy a whole new pack of system directly from HP recovery disks. I tried to install them several times, but each time that the process of recovery achieved 39% the disk #2 (in 4 total) that breaks down just, and a message appears saying that there is an error 0xe0ef000e. I thought it might be produced because the hard drive is not compatible, but the hard drive is reading for diagnostic tests, so is not the problem. HP support suggested that the problem could be with the discs, but I bought it on the official HP website to make them new. Please let me know what you think the problem might be. Thank you for your time.

    More than likely disk 2 is bad, call HP for a replacement set.

  • Computer is stuck on the screen updates

    You just bought a Dell desktop computer new with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  Fired all my files, pictures, etc installed printers, scanner. Now 2 days later, I hit restart and a screen pops up saying update 42 55 it stuck there.  After 10 hours, I tried to restart and got the same screen.  I then tried to reboot in safe mode using the F8 key, this does not work either.  Then, I turned off the machine and tried to restart with the rescue disk, I created the day I got the machine.  Just, it goes back to the screen updating and is sitting there with the small circle twirling away!  How can I solve this problem?

    When the first system boot, before Windows loads (the first thing that appears when Windows starts to load is the update progress screen), there should be a page that tells you what button to push to access the settings configuration (Setup) or start-up.

    Make sure there is no Dell page appear when the system first boots , which shows the key you need to press to enter the boot or configuration setttings?

    Since you have No message from the system model that I asked, tried by pressing the F2 key when you turn on the system.

    If the update progress screen appears instead of the startup configuration, shut down, reboot and try the F10 key.

    If none of these keys work, then you will need to contact Dell.

  • computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally

    Original title: stuck

    My computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally. When I choose that it just goes back to the same screen. stuck in this screen

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

  • My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

    original title: I have the same problem posted by Don Gagen on 16 April. My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

    I installed some updates Vista Home Basic important for my laptop on Wednesday, and since then, my computer won't start. I get to the first page of Windows that shows "Configuration updates 0% complete" for about 15 seconds and then restart the machine. This loop continues indefinitely. I spoke to the manufacturer (Dell) who say there have been some recent problems with the update service, and I have to pay (£69) to address this problem. I don't really want to pay for a repair, when the problem does not seem to have been caused by me or my computer. I tried all the options from the start menu, but there seems to be no way to solve this problem, for example, in 'Safe' Mode, the problem persists, and 'Last successful login' does not work either. It will not launch command prompt. I ran Dell diagnostic check before extended initialization and there seems to be nothing wrong with the hardware. I have no disks system of re - install Vista (and that I would lose all my data anyway). I can also access the ID of the license of Vista. The computer is no longer under warranty, and I have no agreement to support hardware or software for it.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion.

  • Computer is stuck on "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green.

    Hello

    I had difficulties to get my computer past the "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green one.

    I searched the forum and found others who have had this problem. I tried some of their proposals, but eventually Windows does not run on my PC.

    It seemed a moment have solved the problem, but my AVG security had been removed. When I arrived the AVG security working properly my computer starts a few times more, but now I'm right back where I started.

    Is it possible for me to turn this thing on, but not in Mode 'Safe '? I am sick and tired of trying to connect, or try to understand this problem.

    I wish I could just take my computer to where I bought it and get my money back. Unfortunately, the warranty period is exhausted on my PC, so I'm stuck with it.

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    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...

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

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

    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:

    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.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
