20 Most Recent HP Pavilion DV6700T Notebook Questions & Answers

WoW, that one is a good one. If you are using Windows OS go to device manager, hardware, uninstall or remove device (DVD player). Turn off the computer HARD BOOT/Cold Boot, not just reboot. Start the computer and it should find your DVD add the drivers and install them. That should do it. NOT all Windows versions are exactly the same, but, once you get to the device manager you should find remove/add devices. Good Luck Al at Dallas Texas, USA 785180

Im not an expert on CD drives but I have had this case happen in many times. If it sounds like its starting then randomly stops it sound more of a hardware disk problem. You may want to try reinstalling drivers or getting a new computer.

Have you cleaned the fan , vents and heat sink? What is causing the overheating? A laptop Cooler is a option. The battery can be replaced. You may have fried other components,PSU,Graphic Adapter? Remove the battery and reboot to safe mode if you can. Does your laptop have a Nvidia Graphic Adapter? Post what happens.

update BIOS, reset BIOS to default setings, enroll with Windows recovery point to earler drivers version, replace CD/DVD drive

Try to uninstall your optical drive on device manager and restart your system.

Hi,

This is normally the case when you are not using the updated or correct webcam drivers. When you purchase a webcam it normally comes with a CD that has the software to run the webcam. Install this software if you can. If you do not have the CD I would recommend you visit the website of the webcam manufacturer and download them from the site. The site will have the most up to date software and I recommend using this. If the webcam is fairly old, the software on the cd might not work.

I would also recommend updating the computer drivers directly through the HP site. You can click here for the HP driver update site.

Updating the software should resolve this issue. Let me know if you have any questions.

BIOS diags do not test RAM's Windows functionality. Download Microsoft's Memory diagnostic too and burn to a cd. then test your memory.
To run Windows Memory Diagnostic, you must reboot your computer with the disk or CD-ROM on which you installed Windows Memory Diagnostic in the drive. After the reboot, Windows Memory Diagnostic will load and its interface will appear. After loading, the first test pass will begin, using the default standard test suite, and continue until complete, unless Windows Memory Diagnostic is either paused or exited. Once the first test pass is complete, Windows Memory Diagnostic will begin a second test pass using the same settings as before. Windows Memory Diagnostic will continue to run test passes until you exit.

TRY cleaning the heat sink.

If you cannot remove it via Windows Add and Remove Programs tool, Norton provides a free removal tool at their website:

my dvd is not rcognizing in my laptop hp pavilion dv6700

Click start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices. Make sure it is not muted and volume is on high.
Click audio tab and under Default device is it set to SoundMAX HD Audio? if this device is not available try another device and click Apply and test. (you may need to close windows media player or whatever is playing the sound and reopen after changing default device)

The key comes with a licensed copy of Windows Vista.

It would not be possible since AIM share desktop only runs in windows environment. if you would be doing a system recovery, the contents of the HDD will be refreshed meaning it would run starting outside of windows.

Sounds to me like it could of either fell out of place or be broken. Try pushing it into the laptop

1.Click on Start
2.In start search or Run window type devmgmt.msc and then hit enter.
3.This would open the Device Manager Window.
4.Try locating the option which reads as CD/Dvd,there would be a + sign next to the same.
5.Click on the +sign and locate the driver below that.
6.Right click on that driver and then click on Uninstall.
7.Now locate an option which reads ACTIONS right at the top of the device manager.
8.Click on Actions and then click on Scan for hardware Changes.
9.Restart the computer to check the functionality.

Hope this helps..
