Turning the cocoon of laptop

Well, I have a desktop HP 4 years, it works very well.  As desktop computers seem to be along the lines of VHS tapes, I was watching recent laptops.  A new store has opened close to me and there was selling huge Grand opening, the flyer had an HP laptop for $250, only 5 is available.  I camped for six hours with many others and I've had my laptop!  I had seen the exact same model on sale at Office Depot for $500.

Now to my question.  I want to continue to use me Office until he dies or fails.  I set up my laptop and checked that everything was working.  How can I "mothball" the laptop?

Should I drain the battery and put it away until I need?

Shoud I have fully charged battery when I put it on?

Should I plan loading and using the computer all laptop a few months?

Which is better for the life of the battery and the laptop?

Thank you!!!

Hello:

Please read this document from HP support on how to store the battery...

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00596784

I would use the laptop from time to time.

There is a second battery called a CMOS or Real Time Clock (RTC) battery that maintains the time, date and other settings in the BIOS.

If you remove the main battery for too long a time, the CMOS battery will wear down faster and must be replaced.

On a desktop PC, it's pretty easy to do.

On a laptop, it could be a real challenge.

  • With the HP G7000 laptop screen problem

    Hello

    I bought a HP G7000 laptop pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium x 86 a few days, the problem with him, it was that the screen wouldn't turn on even when it is plugged into the laptop is connected using the adapter I had also buy separately as the original was lost and only cost me £10 for a single compatible Internet to second hand the screen has not been broken and showed no sign of wear, I took it to my local PC repair for £40 shop in which the contacts behind the necessary screen connection upwards and with a bit of welding for other parts of the repair, however when I back tool kit in my place the illuminated screen fine in which I decided to perform a factory restore to make him feel as if it was brand new and that he belonged to me. After you restore the laptop with success, I noticed that a lot of things was a bit outdated and decided to update to make it compatible with the latest security patches as well as the latest corrections of bugs or upgrade to SP2 etc, however as soon as the update and turn on the laptop from time to time display kept going funny is black and white and would not display whatever this either clearly in which I had to keep forcing the laptop to close with the help of the power button in which I do not do as this will damage the hard drive later, however when researching this problem on the Internet I came across this thread in forum http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f108/hp-g7000-screen-issue-529809.html using Google describes a very similar problem for me , the problem not only seems to be with tilt angle of the screen, but also the surface in which the unit is placed down on, I tried different surfaces, including my fan USB cooler, glass and wood and produce different results from time to time. So I guess the answer is to put the camera on a surface flat which is not brilliant and screen doesn't tilt not when you use the laptop? I thought that was intended to make mobile no matter what surface you place the unit on the calculation of a laptop and what angle you have screen. Your comments and suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Kind regards

    RocknRollTim

    P.S. I also suspect that the problem is related to interference and lighting conditions as well as conditions of heating and battery as the battery sometimes hold a charge while sometimes, it isn't and should use the AC adapter when this happens, do not know if the BIOS flashing contributed to the battery hold a charge well.

    Hello @RocknRollTim,

    I understand that your laptop have a problem with the screen display as well as the maintenance of a charge with the battery, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    To further diagnose the integrity of your computer's battery, I advise you to follow this document on the calibration of the battery for laptop (Windows Vista). This should help to re - sync with your laptop battery.

    Because the screen is intermittently on the screen when moved to a certain angle, I think that the display panel cables are defective. According to Service and Maintenance Guide for your computer, this part can be replaced with a camera (462455-001) or without (454932-001) and you will find multiple sellers below:

  • Cannot restore the connection between the computer wireless laptop and printer

    I have a Photosmart 6510 and a HP laptop computer connected wireless.  They worked together wonderfully since a few months ago, I installed the printer.  The wifi was briefly in standby.  When I sleep and tried to print I get an error message that the printer is not found.  The printer indicates that the wifi is on (blue light is on and the internet window shows that it is connected ad gives all network information, including the IP address.  I tried all my usual electronic bugs: turn the printer off and back on, unplug the printer and let it rest, reboot the laptop, etc.   I am running Windows 7.  With my old HP printer, I get an error message when the printer is offline, that would allow me to go to a "fix" and click to get back online.  I couldn't find this option now.

    Nothing works (the mobile web access so I know it is related also).

    Are there other things I can try before I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the printer?  I hope there is an easier difficulty.

    And, if I have to reinstall it, I have to write it?

    Thank you.

    I fixed it.  I unplugged the router and the modem, plugged them back in and click on the reset button on the router and the laptop and printer now talk to each other once more.

    There is a problem with this laptop.  Before even I had a wireless printer, I have everything reset completely to the laptop if there is a power failure (but not to the modem in stanby mode).

    My second question is always true since I have to reinstall Windows 7.  Once that I have reinstall the printer do I need to re-register it?

    Thank you.

    Yay for me!

  • How to put running or OFF controls the mouse on laptop or how do I get rid of modules and toolbars like conduit, spirit and friend spark Checker?

    Hi, are two quick questions, there any settings of the mouse on laptop computers. I use a mouse usb right now about this because the finger mouse does not work.

    are there ways to activate and deactivate? and how can I get rid of modules and toolbars as auditor of conduit and friend and spark of spirit? any help would be great. Thanks in advance

    Original title: CONTROLS the MOUSE for laptop

    Hello

    Thank you for your question to Microsoft Community.

    Quick questions:

    1. What browser version are you working?
    2. What is the brand and model of the laptop?

    Case 1:

    Mouse, touchpad and keyboard problems can have several causes:

    ·         Cables that are not connected correctly

    ·         Incorrect device settings

    ·         Missing updates

    ·         Corrupt or incompatible drivers

    ·         Hardware problems

    As a first step, you can check the status of the devices by following the steps mentioned below:

    a. click Start, type Device Manager in theStart search box and press ENTER.

    b. Locate the mouse and other pointing devices and expand the same.

    c. click Pointing device and check its status.

    Method 1:

    To enable the touchpad try these steps:

    a. click Start and select Control Panel.

    b. Select mouse.

    c. click on Device Settings.

    d. Select the touchpad device.

    e. click on turn on.

    Note: The steps above are generic to any model of laptop. The parameters may vary depending on your model of laptop.

    Method 2:

    If activation touchpad does not help, you can go ahead and uninstall the drivers of the touchpad and re - install the same thing again.

    To uninstall the touchpad drivers,

    a. click Start, type Device Manager in the Start search box and press ENTER.

    b. Locate the mouse and other pointing devices and expand the same.

    c. right click on the Touchpad driver and select Uninstall.

    d. restart the computer, if prompted.

    Also I suggest you to consult the following link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/Mouse-touchpad-and-keyboard-problems-in-Windows

    Case 2:

    Now for the question of the toolbar, if you use these methods follow Internet Explorer:

    Method 1:

    If an unwanted toolbar appears in Internet Explorer, you can turn it off using the Add-ons Manager. Sometimes, however, the problem may be more persistent. If the problem persists, start Internet Explorer in no add-on mode and then use the add-on Manager to disable all add-ons that you have not intentionally installed.

    You can see the following link for more information:

    Manage Add-ons in Internet Explorer

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/Manage-Add-ons#IE=IE-8

    Method 2:

    Most toolbars can be removed using Add / Remove programs.

    Uninstall or change a program

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    Method 3:

    You can also use the specific toolbar removal tool to uninstall or remove the toolbar from the computer.
