try to connect laptop with external monitor. If works ok something wrong with screen or cable that connect screen with motherboard

Please provide the brand and model of your laptop. What do you mean by "can't access my account?"

Unless you are very comfortable working with computer hardware and have a good knowledge of your product I would recommend having a cerified tech replace a motherboard. It would be a level 8 I would say out of 10 with 10 being the hardest. Hope this helps.

install display drivers if possible.. after restart check it...

Hi This kind of depends what led to the problem, and some other factors such as operating system, physical state of the device, if you made any changes recently, etc, but you could check your device manager, or try reinstalling your device drivers, you could roll back to LKGC. Give this a shot if nothing changes post back with a little more info. Heres a link to HP for the Pavillion dv1000. Cheers D

it has a microphone , u must install proper driver from hp. and right click the little speaker icon ; click recording devices and make sure it is set as default and turn up the gain.

Usually if you are carefull, a good pair of tweezers, but if the slot is not supposed to take a XD card then i would recommend taking to a local tech who should be able to get it out for a little cost.

If you put the screen in contact with a desktop, the mic WILL pick up the sound of the fan. Leave the screen attached to the laptop

If this is browser problem only use CTRL + to increase the font size. Check the resolution of the screen. Open the graphic properties and set defaults in all windows and tabs that have the option.

Switch it in control panel

Hi, I have got a hp pavilion dv5000, when I turn on it the screen goes blank. Power led glows, I hear for a few time the fan, disk led flashes intermittently and also I feel that the DVD player tries to load. If I try to click on caps lock or num lock, leds don't respond to commands. I tried the hard reset pressing the power button for 30 seconds with the battery and the power removed. Nothing to be done by connecting an external monitor.... What can I do ? Thank you

Disconnect all peripheral devices, Disconnect the AC power adapter, remove the battery, and then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to drain all residual power and restore default startup settings. Then reconnect the AC power adapter (but do not insert the battery), press the Power button, look for glowing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) near the caps lock and num lock keys, and listen for sounds of a fan or other moving parts turning.

This sounds like one of five things to me. 1. A faulty charger 2. A faulty Battery 3 A possible I/O daughterbord failure (if one exists in this model) 4. The motherboard could be suspect if there is no I/O daughterboard in this model. 5. Bios issues (Low level software in charge of monitoring battery levels among many other things) Lets start with some simple things first. Will the computer run with only the charger? If yes that is great news. If No. Dont panic! If the computer Runs well without the battery then we could very simply be looking at an issue where the battery in this laptop is "giving up the ghost" So to speak. In this scenario I would suggest getting an HP OEM battery as a replacement. Nothing used, nothing compatable. this will ensure better warranty coverage if anything is to happen. Lets keep troubleshooting though to be sure we have exausted all aspects. Now that we have an idea how the computer performs without the battery. Lets try to get a simple bios upgrade done on the computer to see if this resolves any of the charging issues. This is a little bit of an advanced teqnique that is as simple as running a file most times but can terminally destroy your computer if done improperly. Myself nor this website will take responsibility should you choose to go this route. You have been warned! The first thing to do is to identify your product number. Here is a link that HP describes how this is done. You will need this to find your correct bios version. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=432999&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c00033108-57%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken With Product number documented we now go to the hp support site to find your drivers and downloads. Please find the HP support Page Below: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?cc=us&lc=en Once there type in your product number and click the go button. This will take you to a page that offers driver downloads and such. Your new bios will be located under the drivers page. Here is an example of what you will see but please do not use the drivers from this page as it may be the incorrect model and damage your laptop. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=435618&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&task= I would like to take the time to point your attention on the bottom right of the screen where HP defines: "HP expanded the battery pack recall on May 26th, 2011. Click here to validate your battery." It looks like this model did infact have a battery recall at one point and you may be feeling the sting of not taking advantage of this while it was an option. Moving on. Next select your Operating System from the dropdown list. Due to the age of the computer I imagine you will have Windows XP. Once selected, you will now be able to scroll down and identify a spot to expand a tree for your bios version for your specific laptop. Download this file and be sure to remember where to save it. Simply run the .exe file that downloads and follow the onscreen instructions. Please be sure to keep your laptop plugged in and if you can make sure the battery is as charged as possible. Walk away from the laptop and come back after some time. You do not want to be the impatient one that reboots their laptop because you didnt think it was working as fast as it should. This will leave you with a very pretty paperweight. Hopefully your computer has rebooted and my windy instructions havent lost you. Now that we have an up to date bios, is the computer acting any better? if not, we are quickly moving into a direction (if we havent already) that it would be time to take your computer into the repair shop. They will be able to identify for you if the computer has an I/O daughterboard that can be replaced. If it does not I am sure that with an up to date bios and a brand new battery that the motherboard may be failing. Due to the age of this computer, it may be time to replace it. If you have followed these instructions, I assure you, you have put in a valient effort! Best of luck! -Rogue

please cheak your laptop wireless network software install or not install. if driver install so........ please install printer cd or dvd wireless setup software

4 Short beeps would indicate during POST (Power on Self Test) there is a initialization issue with added hardware. The DIMM you added may not be compatible, or installed in the correct order. 1. Remove new memory completely, and see if machine starts 2. If you have original memory module still installed, remove it and try new one by itself. 3. If that works, put newer larger module in the 1st slot, and move original in second slot, and try again. The system can automatically adjust memory settings (speed and timing) itself from the SPD module on every stick of RAM. However if the settings are drastically different, it can cause problems. Generally it will run as fast as the slowest module, but now always, sometimes causing the slower module to be attempted to run out of spec and cause boot issues or system instability. Good luck!

Please go to the following link and download your video driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=435618#N329
