  • When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.

    original title: sleep/hibernation

    When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.  I used only having to press a key on the keyboard.

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, as if it was before?

    Well, on the theory that your computer is awkward, try to change the settings to another thing and OK your way out the control panel.  Then go back and put them in the way they were and OK your way out.  Occasionally, it will reset the internal parameters and things can return to normal.

    Hi @Vishalwagh123,

    Welcome to HP's Forums a great way to get help. It's a great place to find answers and advice! Thanks for the post.

    I understand you have questions turn on/off the device and you must press the power button several times for him to start. I'll be happy to help you.

    Please try these steps first. Perform a hard reset.

    • Steps to do:
    • Turn off the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery.
    • Press and hold the power button on the unit for 15 seconds to carry out the static electrical charges inside the machine.
    • Replace the battery and the charger plug it back. Try to turn on the computer.

    If it fires up immediately the issue is resolved. Otherwise, try to turn on the computer without the battery and check that it works immediately.

    In your message, you said that it works very well with the charger. However, I need more clarity here to help you better.

    It works immediately when the adapter is connected and the power button is pushed only once?

    If you again press the power button several times, it may be a faulty power button, and you will need to contact the hotline at the service of the unit.

    Let me know what happens when you try to turn on the unit without the charger?

  • P1102 - why I have to press the power button before printing

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone else knows how to avoid this problem. We have a P1102 connected via USB on Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there a setting somewhere that allows us to not have to press the power button on the printer before printing. It is now connected to the pc. The pc is turned off at night.

    It is very annoying to have to push the button before printing. This may sound trivial, but our old Hp laserjet 1100, only has been replaced with this P1102 as the new pc have no place for a parallel port card, and you never had to press the power button before printing with that, this feels like a step and is very disappointing.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the printer software is not save the auto power off feature is set to never.  I would definitely try update the internal firmware of the printer to see if updating automatic stop is set to never work.

    Click here to access the download page for the Laserjet Firmwares.  Select the P1100 series in the drop-down list.

    This should be done so that a USB cable to connect the printer and the PC.  I would like to know if the firmware is able to get the printer to stay alive.

  • Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop computer. Have to press the power button several times to start?

    Hello

    I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.

    My computer has had no problems at all until yesterday for some reason, I had to push the switch several times to start until he finally turned and did normal starts. As I would press the power as normal to start button, but all of a sudden, it turns off after about 2 seconds and so I would tap on the switch several times and each time it will not start and turn off, then the power button could be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start and run as normal and seems to work correctly. And it was the same thing today, I pressed the power button mutiple times (for example 6 times) until she finally started as usual.

    Savvy/computer im not very well informed or wise in this area, please someone will help me and give me some advice/help to fix/resolve this problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be appreciated for this problem.

    Thank you.

    Vonbon90, welcome to the forum.

    When I see these symptoms on an old computer, I think it may be a power supply (PSU) failure/ing.  Here's a guide that will help your troubleshooting it.

    In addition, you could test the memory.  This can be done by removing all modules of memory and replacing them one at the time and start.

  • Brother MFC-7420. Usually, it works on Windows 7, it will not print and I have to unload the coil and switch off the printer before Relighting.

  • Increase in Wake - should not have to press the Home button to unlock

    Hi all

    I appreciate the work that the Apple development team did to iOS 10. Most of it's amazing as usual! BUT...

    The revival of the Wake feature needs an additional configuration option. In fact, some of us LIKE how quickly iOS 9 unlocks the phone and have the habit of hitting the power button to turn the screen to access the shortcut of the camera or using a finger not configured to press the Home button.

    That said, if I 'raises to Wake"my iPhone, having to press the Home button to complete the unlocking process is not intuitive. It must simply unlock and go to my home screen.

    As this MUST have been done intentionally, I think that you should give us the option attached to "Raise to Wake" function to enable or disable the duty press the Home button to unlock.

  • Two Macbook Pro, both does not start up, when I press the power button, I hear two disc bit Caryl, I see little light on the front on the displasy release button, black screen, no edge

    It was weird because I've NEVER had two computers have the same problem before. They are the model 2008 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 6 g of RAM, models of 128 GB of hard drive, the two Yosemite running, both had new hard drives, cables, batteries and RAM installed OWC (Apple approved reseller) and I use Macs for at least 20 years. In about a week, one just blacked out while sitting on my desk doing nothing, the other does the same on a week later. When I press the power button, I hear the drive hard hum twice, then all I get is the little light on the screen release button, that's all. Black screen. fails, nothing. I can press the power button and it will fit off the coast. Is it possible that some of them have infected somehow, or possibly send me the malware that has infected my system? I would not normally only, but for all of them to go down to one right after the other with the same problem just made me think, it must be the same cause, but what?  I had been in a war of fire recently with very ugly people, and I've never seen two Macs have the same exact problem in a row like that right.

    I took readers on the Macbook Pro, put them on sleds and threw them in my PowerMac, and both seemed fine, no problem, started well upward, ran utility disk on them, no problem, so I started to the checklist. Reset the PRAM. Nothing. SHIFT key at startup. Nothing. D at the start. Nothing. V order at startup. nothing. I wouldn't mind even their evisceration and making a portable useful with the parts of the two, but until I find out what the problem is, what can I do?

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, I've supported every button I can think at the start, tried an inch USB key, boot and disk, this is the same Caryl bit both of the car, no chime, black screen, that's all.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think they are infected.

    The startup chime indicates that the Mac has made the initial diagnostic tests and there is no hardware problems or fundamental software.

    No edge in your case is a problem.  I think it's the luck of the draw to have 2 failures.

  • HP Slate 6, (problem: do not turn on the display, by pressing the power button once)

    A month ago, I bought the HP slate 6. The screen does not light by pressing the single time power button. But if I press the power button three times, then it lights. I also make sure that the switch has no problem. I think it's a software problem not hardware.

    Do not forget that I have improved my slate to kitkat. This problem alone caught up in not before Kitkat.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

    I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
    I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
    I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

    Help, please

    Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
    You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

    Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

    From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

    But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.
