~To download the manufacturers and therefore correct drivers or specific software;

Always get your drivers from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, All available Driver downloads as required.

If the driver is not available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are installing.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.

Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.

Check the manufacturer information on the bottom of the AC Adapter. Most likely the INPUT will be
AC110~240V / 50~60Hz which means that you can use it on 220V as it is within the INPUT voltage range. The AC line frequency can be from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. You will need an adapter for the AC plug itself to go from the flat prongs used in North America to the round ones used in Asia/Europe. Also, the adapter will be needed as the wall socket likely will not accommodate the round ground prong that is present on the original three-pronged AC plug that is used for North America.

No. The bulb is good. It could be the DC/DC invertor - that little curcuit board just beneath the in the LCD - or the video off the notebooks motherboard. - personal experiance points to that invertor

meaning that you had it one day and the next the BT device is no longer listed in the device manager.

I had a similar issue with a pavilion tx1000. In that case it was the wifi that would disappear. The short version is that if you are still under warranty hp will probably replace the BT card while refusing to acknowledge that fundamental design flaws in both the TX and DV lines results in a pc that will likely fail within 1 year of the end of its warranty. (google your model and complaints, or the word recalled, I would start backing up anything you consider important that you have on that machine b/c the downward cycle has begun.

Using the recovery partition

• 1 Turn on your computer and insert your recovery disc. Press F10 during start-up to open the console. This opens up the HP recovery console.
• 2 Click "Next" on the screen that appears.
• 3 Choose whether you want a nondestructive recovery (one that keeps your files in place) or a destructive one (one that erases your disk and rebuilds your system to factory defaults). If most of your files aren't corrupted or are still usable, go with a nondestructive recovery. Otherwise, perform the destructive recovery.
• 4 Follow the instructions on the prompts that appear to restore your HP Pavillion.

Using recovery discs

• 1 Turn on your computer. Press F1 at the first logo screen to enter the BIOS menu.
• 2 Move to the Boot Options section of the BIOS menu. Look for the Boot Priority menu.
• 3 Set the Boot Priority option to booting the CD-ROM first.
• 4 Insert the first recovery disc into the HP laptop. Then press "Enter" on your keyboard to save your settings and exit. The computer will then reboot into the recovery console.
• 5 Follow the instructions on the prompts that appear, to restore your laptop.

1- try turning your laptop on with another Adaptor.

Possibly the motherboard but probably the keyboard

Your hard drive is loose.

Start up Skype and click Options under the Tools tab. Click on Video settings. Skype should then start the built-in webcam's video and you should see yourself in the window. Be sure that the radio button is on to Show that I have video to... people in my Contact list only. If instead, the radio button is on for no one, then no one will see that you have any video capability. If you have made any changes, be sure to click the Save button at the bottom right of the Skype options window. Finally, be sure that your partner is in your Skype's Contact List.

somewhere on the keyboard there should be a button that disables the touchpad to use an external mouse.you should be able to locate that button.sometimes it will lite up red.

No, it doesn't appear too, I just pulled up the spec's. Unless there is more then one version of that model.

I had a similar problem with my Acer Aspire after I got a replacement battery about 6 months ago.
I was told to disconnect the laptop, turn it off, disconnect the battery, then press the power button for 30 seconds to reset the charging circuit.

I did this, but it didn't work any better. I thought that since my charger seems to run the computer, but it says 0% Available (plugged in, charging) that there was something wrong with the battery.

So, I contacted the manufacturer of the battery and they said they would refund my money within 7 days after receipt, and they gave me an RMA number for the return on the address label.

I, also, got the battery from Ebay.
---
Since your problem is that the battery icon with a red X over it says 0%, I would say that maybe the battery is bad, or maybe the battery is not connected very well at the contacts. Maybe blow the contacts off with compressed air in order to clean any dust which may be on it.

I would maybe try another battery to try to see if the charging circuit is bad on the laptop.

If another battery doesn't work, then the charging circuit between the laptop and the battery may be faulty.

Good luck on this repair.

Hi,

I suggest try to reinstall the driver for the IR and if its not working try to reinstall the Operating System and those steps don't work it means that the Hardware is faulty.
