Lines I am getting lines on my pictures. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem? I went through the diagnostic testing. That went fine. I reset all settings. I took the batteries out and the memory card for a half hour and put them back in. None of this worked. The best i can explaing is there horizpntal lines through the pictures. Any ideas??? My warranty is long expired. Just wonder if it's worth getting fixed or would it be better to purchase a new camera.

I would try creating a new folder (maybe TEST) on your portable drive, and saving 3-4 files (as copies) from your hard drive, say, a MS Word file, an Excel file and a .jpg picture. Close down your computer, remove the portable drive. Then start up computer again, when ready insert portable drive.
See if your computer recognises it, and then try to open the files you saved onto it. If that is OK it sounds like you do not have a problem. But treat it with caution for a week or two.

WELL IT'S 5 DEC 2012, THIS HP 3210 QUIT MAGENTA'S.

Either bad RAM, overheated CPU, or a bad (or overheated) video card will cause this. Usually it's bad RAM.

I'm assuming you're running Windows 7. To test RAM with windows 7:

Method 1:From Windows 7 Start Menu
•Click the Windows 7 Start button, type memory, and click on Windows Memory Diagnostic
•When the Windows Memory Diagnostic screen loads, click Restart now and check for problems
•You computer will restart
•The memory diagnostic will run and may take some time
•Windows will restart and report any errors to you
Method 2: From Windows 7 Control Panel
•Click the Windows 7 Start button.
•Select Control Panel
•Click the System and Maintenance icon
•Select Administrative Tools
•Then, click the Memory Diagnostics Tool icon.
•Click the option to restart your computer now and run the memory diagnostics test or to schedule the memory diagnostic test to run at your next reboot.
Method 3: From Windows 7 Command Prompt
•Click the Windows 7 Start button.
•Type cmd in the Start Menu's search box.
•Right-click cmd.exe in the search results and then select Run as administrator.
•Type mdsched.exe in the command prompt and then press enter.
•Click the option to restart your computer now and run the memory diagnostics test or to schedule the memory diagnostic test to run at your next reboot.
Method 4: From The Windows Boot Manager
•Restart your computer.
•Start pressing F8 on your keyboard.
•This will open advanced boot options screen.
•Click Esc on your keyboard while you're in the advanced boot options screen.
•You'll be taken to the Windows Boot Manager screen.
•Press Tab on your keyboard to move to the Tools section of the boot manager screen and then press enter to start the Memory Diagnostics.

if its code p0442 the most common problem is gas cap unless they reset the code for u the vehicle has to cycle- start up a few times or reset after certain amount of miles are driven--but-- this code also can b a cracked, broken,or disconnected vent line,go back to auto zone have them rescan and check for code and have them reset the trouble code if it comes back on than a problem still is present

Could be serious...but first check the screen modes (for split screen, format, etc) to be sure the tv is set up properly for the picture you are trying to watch. Switch the input to a DVD or something similar. Is it the same? If not, you have a mode/resolution problem with the tuner and perhaps some other device.

Could be faulty graphics chip or faulty screen. If you can hook up external monitor and picture is fine then probably faulty screen. If external monitor shows same problem the faulty graphics chip. Take to repair shop and let them have a look.

Hello, Sometimes you have to drive 20, 30 minutes or more before the computer loses the code and resets unless you still have a problem
I hope this was helpful.

The ink is dried up in the cartridge.

You mentioned the Magnet possibility, check around its location or move it to another site. Check also cabling where it runs and connections swap USB connectors or even if you have other USB stuff running that you could do with out. Its all a process of elimination before you have to decide to bin it.

I had the same problem I was told to unplug then reset but still no luck. Mine have been broken since Aug 2006 and seems like it's so hard to find somebody to fix it. Please let me know if you fix yours.
