KDS Laptop!? Hi ya doing, I found a previous post you answered in a very knowledgable manner on the very same laptop that I have also. If you dont; mind, I would like to "pick your brain". I have a problem: The laptop will not get past the POST. I stops at "mouse initialized" with the "press F2" prompt at the bottom. So...the laptop doesn't freeze, because I can leave it sitting for hours, come back, and it will do the "Entering setup..." but THAT IS IT. Any help would be fine! Thanks in advance!

Boy ya got me on that one, tymkin1

I do not find, nor have personal knowledge of; an HP DM 767A laptop.
Nor desktop.

That is what is in the white Service Tag on the bottom of the laptop?
P/N = Product Number
What is the P/N?

Nope. I do not find any variation of HP DM1, or HP DM2, series of Notebook PC, that fits your model number/product number.

the password is stored in your CMOs which is powered by a very small battery on the motherboard. Theres only 3 ways to remove that password...

Send it to the manufacture to have them remove it as the following two step call for you voiding your warranty.

Open up the laptop by removing the 15-20 screws off the bottom of the unit, then find this small watch like battery and remove it, keep it removed for about 10 seconds then place it back in the unit.

If the battery cannot be found then it would be best to contact someone who is familiar with motherboard jumper settings or if neither of the previous answers I gave work for you then re-post asking for the specifics of your make and models motherboard jumper settings...

Hi, you can re-install if you have deleted the Webcam Application in your Laptop. Please check for the model number of the Notebook which will be on the Notebook or on the purchase receipt. Then, search the Laptop manufacturer website using the model number of the Laptop in order to download the Webcam Application. You can also reply the model number to this post so that i can help you regarding the Webcam Application.

if your posting online for information on how to do this it would be better you take it too a pc shop it is really a simple job but you will need to feel confident enough to take a panel of your laptop and pop out the ram chips doo how ever stay away from pc world, curys, dixons etc find a nice local pc guy/gal too sort it for ya

try to switch off your wireless adapter for 1min and switch on it again, once switch on your computer should look for other near connection and the notice will prompt you regarding found wireless network. if no found there is problem with your wireless configuration.

try to this 1st and give me comments if the problem still exist.

i went through your previous questions and comments and what i figured out is, you have either probelme with HDD or OS.
so First step: try to install fresh OS(oeprating system) for that
just insert the recovery disk (it comes along with your laptop when you buy) and reboot you Laptop and once it detects the CD/DVD then hit enter before it crosses 5 soconds and follow the instructions which appear on screen.
if it wont let you to install new OS then it will say something such as: HDD no found etc.
oh! if your Disk is not automatically detected then press F2 and go to Boot sequence and choose CD first.
if your problem still styas even doing these all then better to take to Expert because it's hard to say exact answer withouth looking at your Laptop.
Thanks and Happy NEW year 2009
