  • Black screen when I turn on the computer, press F1 and error message: disk hard imminent failure

    Original title: crash is immediate please help

    When I turn on my computer laptop black screen saying I have to press F1 to continue, it says after that... disk failure hard immenent what can I do besides spend more than 200. OO, I don't?

    Hello

    Chances are the hard drive failed, but it could be wiring or other materials.

    Check with the system manufacturer's support, their documentation online and ask in their forums
    (if any). Most have instructions to replace the hard drive.

    You can usually buy a hard drive for alternatives for less than $100,00 and maybe much less. Or the other
    get the same one or the same size.  System manufacturers usually several models if you
    the same can buy cheaper. And there will be others who are of the same size and type which
    can be used. Your local computer store can help select an appropriate player.

    Here is an example of how to replace the hard drive on some HP computers for example. Most
    other manufacturers are similar, and there are many generic examples on the internet.

  • HP photosmart d110 - when I turn it on it starts up and gets as far as "now printing alignment page?

    HP photosmart D110

    When I turn it on it starts and gets regarding printing now alighment page and that's it... There is a red X in the upper right corner.  I can't take the printer to print a document.  It is the default printer.  I am running wireless and recently had to reset my router... This could be some of the problem?  It's very frustrating; any help you can give is appreciated.

    Blue wireless light flashes as it is the power button / stop.

    Kind regards

    Marvin

    It's strange. Looks like something in the alignment process is originally the printer enter a permanent error state. This is going to sound strange, but I think it will work. Let the printer goes to error state. Then, instead of turning off the printer by the power button, remove the power cord at the back of the printer. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet so to reset the power module (it is the black brick in the power cord). Open the printer and slide the ink cart in the region that allow you to remove the ink cartridges and remove the ink cartridges. Close the printer, plug the printer back in and turn it on. When you are asked for your ink cartridges to be inserted, go ahead and put them in. Let me know what happens.

  • Why my screen flashes not black when I plug or unplug my charger?

    Whenever I plug the charger the screen flashes black for a second, but goes back to normal later and accused the computer for a few seconds (I thought that because my music or videos jumps on WMP). The same thing happens when I unplug the charger.  I didn't used to have this problem, it started happening when I reinstalled windows xp pro, or updates of packages of 2.  But the previous times, when I reinstalled windows, it never gave me this problem.  The first time that my brother reinstalled Windows, it has had this problem and recently just reinstalled windows and it doesn't have this problem.  In addition, we have the same laptop right and we used the same Windows XP Pro. disc.

    I know not how to set up all my information, I guess its called BIOS, but I have a Dell Latitude D531, there AMD Turion 64 X 2 TL - 56, 1 GB of RAM, using SP2, using a loader and OEM (I highly doubt the battery and the charger are the problem, but I thought I should mention that).

    If you need more information, I am more than welcome to do so long that you're ready to tell me how to find if I have trouble.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

    Diagnosis

    The video "Refresh" is switching between 60 (on food) and 50 Hz (on battery), and the screen goes momentarily empty.

    Solution

    So what about current alternative, office > right click > properties > settings > advanced > monitor. Here, under the display settings, set the refresh rate of the screen at 50 Hertz. After you apply these settings, the flashing problem gets fixed.

  • Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

    Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

    I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

    Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

    But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

    After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

    A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
    The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
    Tried a system restore
    Tried to reinstall itunes

    When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

    Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

    Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

    Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

    I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

    Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

    I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

    You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Enter the following command and press enter

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

    devmgmt.msc

    • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
    • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, WHY do all these weird stuff when I turn it on?

    Hello

    Right, I'm DESPERATELY need your help with my BB Bold 9800, because it's just the engine me bananas... so I BEG someone to help me

    SO, here's the problem... every time it turns on it will continuously play an alert ring tone, vibrate and flash (sorry, I don't remember what it's called, but it is the small point on the phone itself which you can Set up for flash in color).  If I leave it alone, it stops eventually after having to put up with it sounds & vibrant 10 times (except for the light from the flash), UNLESS I have just to click on the 'Messages' - even though I have no texts - and he will then just stop all together.

    It also does not matter if it is set to Silent, ring only, vibrate only etc.  I really don't want to re - start because it means having to re - load all over it again, which is just a pain in the back! Can someone tell me PLEASE how to stop doing all these weird things?

    You v much

    Hello

    Just do a battery pull. While the unit is turned on, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, then reinsert the battery and wait for the device to reboot. It will wipe all the data of the device and is basically the same idea as your computer restarts. Once you're phone has rebooted, you'll be back running.

    When you say re - start, I think that you need to refer to the upgrade or reload the operating system as a regular battery reboot to shoot a smartphone BlackBerry does not affect the data stored on the device.

    If this does not help, check if you have a program installed as BeBuzz.  Some programs will allow you to customize your phone notifications, and that could be the culprit if the battery pull does not solve the problem.

  • Why the screen "post preview" in flash cs5 shows the part of the animation and then turns blank?

    Hi I'm creating animation frame by frame in photoshop.

    I import photoshop files into flash using

    FILE > IMPORT > IMPORT TO STAGE

    I used to be able to preview or 'test line' my movie easily by clicking on:

    FILE > PUBLISH PREVIEW > FLASH

    I could watch the animation in a loop and see where improvements are needed. Now, flash struggles a lot with the files, takes a long time to load the preview, when that happens, it shows me maybe a third of the animation, running on empty and behaves as if all my frames are completely empty. I can't see on my main work no more later.

    Anyone know what is happening? I keep restarting flash but the same problem persists.

    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion

    It's more 100megs of images, then you are probably hitting a limit of flash cs5/system.

    are you using a channel alpha and overlay of some of these pictures on another?
