if you have the quick buttons software installed disable the ambient light :)

1. On boot up keep tapping F8, then select safe mode with networking
2. type TDSSKILLER.EXE in google.
3 Download tdss.killer.exe to your desktop screen (not the tdsskiller.zip file)
4. Install tdsskiller.exe and run a scan.
5 Once scan is complete, select cure.
6 Reboot your system as normal and everything should work just fine and no more blue screen.

If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD) after trying this method you will have to reinstall windows and the problem will stop.

I have used this method myself on 4 laptops and has fixed every single one. Best news of all is that tdsskiller is a freeware program that sorts all of your drivers in the system32 folder and it's FREE.

Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.

Pull out extended ram & try again.

There should be a cover behind the laptop, unscrew these tiny screws and the back cover should open. Then you want to located where the rams are at. In some case the ram slot is already being used by the original rams and you need to take these out to install the new ram. Before hand, make sure your laptop support the correct type of the ram, in your case it will support ddr2 sdram up to 4gb. So pretty much once you locate the ram slot after opening the back panel... then just install it.

it sounds like you can not access system screens at all?
If so, your problem can be related to a damaged screen which can always be replaced for much cheaper than a new unit which would be over $200
Let me save you money, try to see if you can find the reset button to perform a full system reset on the outside portion of the tablet. Reset the system, if you have problems, please return.

It sounds like that memory should be compatible with your tablet PC. It may be a bad memory stick -- try to replace it with a different memory stick (preferably from a different manufacturer) and see if it still gives you the same problem.
If you didn't have this problem before you installed the new memory, a different memory stick will likely correct the issue. You can also try removing the new memory and see if the PC boots up like it should.

Hi,

If the battery of your laptop is not charging or taking any charge, i will advice you try using another similar charger to charge it, if still not charging, this indicate that the cells within the battery are dead which means the battery needs to be replaced, i will suggest you get a replacement battery for your laptop. this will help fix the problem on your laptop.

WHATS THE PROBLEM

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your HP TC4400 laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.

Hi First you need to make the USB CD-rom Drive as the first boot device by going to BIOS setup by tapping F2 when the system turns ON , after changing the boot order insert the first disc and restart the computer it should run from the disc.

Driver errors.

Go into Control Panel and select Device Manager.
Look down the list of services and click on the missing sound driver, (click on whichever one is highlighted or has a sign on it telling you it is not working properly) and select Update Drivers within the drivers sub menu. Let Windows do its stuff or let the computer find it within System or System 32 directory on your hard drive. If it can't find it, let Windows find a driver on the internet or better still, download the driver from the manufacturers web site.
Hope this helps.

Hello
here is the service and maintenance manual for HP COMPAQ TC 4400 http://ekse.pp.fi/systools/11348/c00692629.pdf
See part 5.9 for replacing the keyboard. The manual covers everything related to the replacement of the keyboard.
If you are unable to open the manual make sure you have foxit reader installed on the computer, get it from here if you don't have it http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html
if you have any questions let me know.

Hi, well I have found out that NO you cannot "Upgrade" either the screen, or the Video card. This is due to the BIOS, not being able to be upgraded to allow for this to happen. And HP do NOT support anything like this either :(

You need to go to the Tablet manufacturers website and download and install the correct driver, I think that should sort out your problem.
If this doesn't sort it out, then perhaps you have a faulty pen? However my guess is it's just a driver issue.

Try pressing the fn key and F5 key together at the same time.sometimes the sticky keys just seem to kick in. if not F5 key it will be one off the other F keys dont forget fn+ F5 or other.

hope this helps

You just need to download and install the driver and it should be fine.

Go to www.hp.com and click on support and drivers then check the download drivers button and finally enter in the model in your case TC4200 and this will open a new page. Next select your operating system and you are now at the downloads page.

Download the drivers, save to desktop (its easy to find again then) and then run it and folow the inscreen instructions and reboot if asked to.

You haven't mentioned your operating system so I can't give you any more exact instructions. If you download and install all of the available drivers for your version of windows you can't go wrong. Windows will try to use built in drivers such as the video. These work but the oem driver usually gives you more options and sometimes better performance. The touch driver will either be part of the video or the input drivers dpending on what version of windows.

To flash the BIOS you need to download the BIOS from a link which HP provides.. so contact them and tell them to provide you with the BIOS link..
You need to download the BIOS and install it..
However after removing the RTC battery I would suggest you to hold the notebook power button for 20 secs..
This should remove all the residua power..
I think it will remove the BIOS password...
If it does not work then you could flash the BIOS..
What sayy???
