Pull the hard drive, remove the battery AND the BIOS battery. Let it sit for 300 seconds. Then replace the BIOS battery and the main battery, but NOT the hard drive, then go into BIOS SETUP, and choose the default settings. Then boot to a bootable CD (such as Hiren's BootCD 15.2, or Parted Magic). Then set the boot options to NOT BOOT to the hard drive. Then reinstall the hard drive, and boot to your Windows installation CD, and reinstall the OS of your choice.

use a vga to dvi or a vga to vga connector lead from the back of your notebook, to the tv dependong on your tv connection inputs, although you will only get 720i not 1080i as you will need a notebook with an hdmi port for that resolution.

Have you tried hooking it up to an external monitor?
This would ensure that it's the screen and not the video card..
If you do that and you receive a good picture then it could be something as simple as a loose video cable. Or it could also mean something like a bad video card or the expensive one, a bad screen.

Do you have more than one instance of the printer installed. If that happens the computer gets confused and don't know which one to print to. Also only one can be active if you have two instances of the same printer and you could be printing to the inactive one. Click Start/Control Panel and check your printers to insure that there is not more than one instance of the same printer installed. Also check down at the bottom right near the time and if you see the printer icon open it and clear out the queue. If you've printed to an inactive printer the queue will block you so just delete or cancel the items in the queue.Also check your printer properties to make sure it is printing to a TCPIP wireless connection and not a usb connection.

try pressing F8 key on startup and choosing last known good configuration.

Hi,

That cause by setting at Power Management setting. If your laptop setting is default, LCD back light is 60% if you running on battery and 100% when running with plug in. You also can change a setting at :

1- Go to Control Panel
2- Go to System & Security
3- Go to Power Option
4- Change Plan Setting

If the laptop appears to boot up and the LCD screen remains black the the fault is most likely a back-light problem and is caused by either a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to determine the fault and possible fix :-

Start the laptop holding down the f11 key till you hear a beep.

Then the system restore dialogue box comes up which allows you reset the system to the factory setting as if it was brand new.

Good luck.

Hello,

You are speaking of the female power jack plugin...that is inside your laptop.

Ok first thing you would have to find a replacement power jack...ebay would be your best bet or a quick search on google might find a website.

If you can do that know in advance that you will have to take your laptop apart. Working on a computer can get complicated but a laptop is even harder.

If the first two things I mentioned is not a problem then the last thing is you will have to be pretty experienced at soldering. If the power connector is soldered onto the motherboard (always is) then you will first have to remove it without damaging the board itself. Then you will have to be able to solder all the connections back on without getting any solder on the area around it as you will damage the motherboard.

Post back with any questions or comments. But what I'm getting at is if you can't do all those things then your only option is to go to HP's support site and email them to ask how much it would cost you to have them repair it.

Thank you for choosing Fixya!

most laptops turn off wireless to optimise battery life if it is not being used, check in preferences and see if you can turn it on. How far are you from the kit?
