Top 20 HP Pavilion dv6835nr Notebook - Page 2 Questions & Answers

no PC stated w8 is new its not w8 fault, id do that with W10 too. what his is , is the silly new boot logic HP now uses. I hate it, for just the reason. it should say and halt, OS fails to boot, do a repair install. here : 1`: if all your fails are backed up are they. 2: hit F11 recovery and do a fix startup files first. 3 :if that fails a full reload. do startup repair , if no joy do system restore, this is total w8 restore. from the HP partitions. if F11 is dead that usually means the HDD is bad. or was slammed, (you upgraded the OS with out HP help)?

OLD DV6910. note book. (circa 2007 ) near end of HP support.! MS stopped VISTA this spring. no, toshiba is no good, as are all other PCs makers disks no good. your PC us USA HP computer, its not from Japan. sorry. only MS disks or best of best HP disks work. the ISO from MS, how'd you get that, and when.? the current link at MS needs valid RETAIL COA code to download it.(oem codes not) The MS disk do not have all drivers need, to make an HP pc run.. sure it will load, but many things CAN be dead. is your F11 restore dead too? (its VISTA, if you dont know) power on , F11, f11, f11, f11 , hammer it. see the HP restore? here is your official HP support page.' https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6900-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/3725196/model/3740554 see? that and all were shipped with VISTA, and F11 key restores VISTA , there is no W7 drivers. from HP , zero "i got image to burn.?" so then what?, did you install W7? and see all those dead chips? in device manager did you get Ethernet working first so W7 can PNP the drivers automatically, /?? Things that can fail are. HP special drivers for like , hot keys, that MS does not have all HP apps will be missing. and all drivers for old vista chips not supported under w7 see?> MS loads. here is the path (using ms, disk and not HP media kit) why not get the HP kit from HP???????

1. Get MS w7 ISO, from MS using the $120 key, COA key,
2. oops the HP key is no good, its OEM key/.
3. down load ISO from MS.
4. burn a USB stick or DVD from ISO, (Rufus, or imgburn free)
5. boot PC using BIOS boot to DVD or stick as the case applies.
6. W7 Loads, ok. (it runs sure, but...)
7. W7 fails on Ethernet or wifi, one must work now or doomed, lacking other PC to find drivers from chip makers or MS.
8. I wire up the Ethernet jack RJ45 cat 5 to my router.
9. the internet is connected, i then let W7 find the drivers, good luck finding them all.. some can be missing, on 10 year old LT.
10. if at wits end see this , on how to get them the HARD way.
11. http://www.pcdied.com/Drivers.html

if you make a PCI scanner boot disk (or stick) http://www.pcdied.com/pci-101.html you can find most drivers. (mine never fails) using he scanner on any PC we see all chips and with vista drivers failing on w7 we go to the makers site and get the W7 driver as seen here, PCI sniffer3 , I uses this all the time. for exactly this reason. the HP media kit DVD set is for VISTA only. sorry.

no PC stated full model number no OS stated. XP? ASAP only works for paid service, this is free advice. not paid. so no ASAP. we are not HP either why not ask on their forum>? never post emails. unless endless SPAM for 100 years is fun? my wild guess. OLD PC running XP and infected, right?

Demanding are you,? this IS NOT HP, nor is it in warranty after 15 years. wow..... so there will no DEMANDS BY you, this is free helper here, (like charity, mom says never bite the hand that feeds you remember? free hands, for sure) see how far DEMANDS last at HP. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/ tell me.. love to hear that. on TXT BLOG FIXYA. a retired PC at HP, its OLD, super RETIRED . https://support.hp.com/us-en/retired-products no photos of switch how can we guess that? i can not see what you see, lacking a photo. do hot tell any poster not to guess, heck you never showed a photo or even told what OS is there, XP op sys? the answers will be directly related to your poor inputs. in ALL CASES. tell me does your doctor diagnose you in some silly text file? NO. Backup is your job, if not done by you and the HDD crashes all is gone, unless one W8 -w10 and the cloud saved your bacon. so far we know little its PC a DESKTOP it turns on , and screen turns on and never evens shows text message EVER? NO MONITOR stated, maker or model ,must we guess that too? if its modern and not some 1985 CRT, but LDC 2004 or newer, ? it will have OSD menu. turn on the monitor, push select see that OSD menu the monitor brain shows. if not the monitor is dead. 'if the pC dies, monitor it , it tells you, NO SIG or other errors does it? if the monitor works (gee test on other PC????) then the PC is bad. easy no box 1 ok monitor box 2 bad. pC. easy peasy. if the PCs PSU is not dead. and fans run the next things is BIOS so now PC questrions do the fans in the pC run? all of them???? do the key board lamps glow, as you toggle the caps /or numlock keys? does the CD drive eject on button push, no ,no,no, then the PSU is dead. if the screen shows words of any kind ever ,say so. if the screen is black all the time use the OSD button if dead the Monitor is dead. no monitor stated. if the screen shows text,. then tell what it says. and we can work forward to the relic XP, OS. 16 years old that is and dead, support world wide.

the cause is using the mixer incorrectly, or mixer is junk, IDK, now idea at all what system parts are there, not a clue here. in the mixer, uncheck microphone. Computers can be set up 1000s of ways, you know? Not even a clue at all what PC< desktop or laptpo no clue at all. just vague DJ bla bla.... answer is so will pure generic electronics (im certified tech. retired) Most PCs of all kinds have sound card, or built in. (or just 1 chip) be it a destop or lap top, my PC has a sound card, (fancy,) DTop, with 7 channels and all that stuff.with matching powerful software. on a real desktop with a real sound card it has many jacks there not just 2, (mic/speaker.,) mine has line in, and line out. and many others for speakers, there are 2 ways to record 1: using and external , say Mp3 recorder. (and 100 other ways ) 2: and using the built in sound recorder in windows, do you have windows. you never said that nor which windows the 1st choice is hardware, pure electronics, in fact tape recorders worked there for since first one made, using line in. to recorders. choice 2, is software, you can buy a APP to do that, that is better than what Windoz offeres. see here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_card see that lime green wire? the top sound cards all have special softeware that has a super fancy MIXER, the mixer allows you to mix anything you want. with a click of a button if you dont have good sound card or matching software all you get is windows basic crippleware. weak and very limited. so next time tell the helper what you have. fully and get 10x better answers. here ill wet your whistle, on what can be done. you want 2 CHANNEL STEREO recorders. or even TOSLINK connections.? How good is your source music, ? if poor then use cheap hard/software but don;t expect windows to do this well. if running windows 10 go to the MS windows, STORE, and buy a better audio software package. ideas, are endless in recording hardware super good. or better, http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xroland+r-05.TRS0&_nkw=roland+r-05&_sacat=0 last is fancy app software like this. I use this it does it all. for near nutt'n. GOLDWAVE (ive had it for 20 years too) https://www.goldwave.com/ last the word Disk Jock is a persons or is one of many hardware products, not stated by you. is it this. old box? by maker NUMARK? https://www.numark.com/images/product_downloads/dm925_referencemanuals_00.pdf in the above jack 15 line out goes to sound card, LINE IN. then in the PC you play or record off of LINE -in in the PC. if you dont have a real PC with a Real sound card this can be hard, using the MIC as a line input will cause huge overload saturation of the mic amps, and sound like H3LL..

PS; click HP15 here and see all 63 models. https://support.hp.com/us-en/products/laptops/hp-notebooks/

there are many LEVELS of OS repair modes. one is startup files bad, and fix that. others are refresh. and last full install. the HP site covers how to do all that. hp.com HDD not found is usual just that. bad HDD. ever listen to one, if silent its DEAD, HDD, not SSDs. One can remove the HDD, and put it in a eSATA enclosure and plug it in to any PC modern has eSata, and see if data can be recovered. this is best way 1. or just plug it in to a good system. Best is Desktop as those can have up to 8 drives installed , like my ASUS has. (actually more on mine) That covers the topic DATA, recovery, 101. now the cure. buy a new SSD and then do a fresh install with HP media kit then copy data from old drive, (if not dead) to new drive. SOP, standard op. procedures. all. Windows scans the HDD< for the DRIVER busy line to be not busy if the drive is dead , it can set this line (all do dead) to true,. busy forever, (aka READY) and is NOT ready. when THE OS sees it in that logic state, it can not access it at all. all it can do in that state is see name of HDD and model. if super dead, it reads nothing... no Pnp DATA, zero. and that is a totally dead drive. one way to prove this is put the HDD in another system. or run a live linux boot CD and see , yup its dead or run linux partition tools, yup dead. or windows 10 PE, boot CD links to all that are here. http://pcdied.com/

you will fail to get the OS healthy, I can and on many but took days to do and paid me $$$$ to do it ,due to very important data on said systems! I'm real good at hard surgical virus extractions..) NO HP system stated, just Pavilion. here is the only solution 10 years and newer Pavilion go to HP.com the put your service tag data in the box when asked. then get the HP, media recovery disks. end problem. Today we back up, so the OS is 100%^ expendable. and reload it. at (infection time) but if you have data. that is not backed up say so What Id do, if that data is important is to put in a new SSD and do a fresh load then connect the old HDD<using say a external driver enclusure., (have many here , in lab) and the get your old data that way, even scanning it from virus first. as a slave drive, never as boot. data recovery 101.end. a long topic in its own right. and stop reading email attachments or pornn

NO operating system stated, sounds W7 like.?there is no lifetime anything, SORRY!my guess is some kind of marketing Hype,?what do you expect for QVC, (avoid like the plunge, me)that warning is , Microsoft, ant- malware engine protecting you.(and anti-virus too)it will see vast errors, cruising THE world wide web of infections.for SURE.Its ok, dont panic yetrun the clean,let them both runs, 1 at a time, never both same time.on Windows 10 its called Defenderclick the tray icon and do a full scanscans are NEVER risky .scan it every day.if kids use internet scan hourly (LOL)think of the internet as a huge garbage can. (it's 10000x worse)think of the scans like Shower and 3 doses of Penicillinif confusedpost hereon the real forumhttp://h30434.www3.hp.com/All versions if windows are a virus magnetXP is worstgets better every release.W10 is the most safe! but has other issues, (spying that is easy to turn off ,ask)and Linux vastly better, (search linux virus in the wild)the most safe of all is booting running from CDROM or flash stickrunning say windows 10 PE live CDwhere nothing gets saved! ever.or running a Virtual OS. ( i offered things to learn )

Yes it does! Most desk top units do need external speakers. Your computer has integrated audio on the motherboard and a speaker output jack.

no PC told make yes,model no.100,000 models no person on earth can guess which oneask at HP.comor learn to post service tag dataseen herehttps://www.pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag.html#hpdtboth laptops and desktops HP there Pavilions, it as model # and sub codes and product IDthat shows exact model and country too.go to HP.comtell them your service tag dataand the system there tells you what you own

is it the same size hard drive? You may have a problem with what is called the branding of the main board. What that means is the mother board has information programmed into it that tells the restore disk that it belongs to that system and what it needs to load on to that system for a factory restore. Most of the disks have programs the go to other systems of the same series so they make 1 disk for the series and then program it to only load the programs that came on that system. You would need to take it to someone who can get the program to see if that is the problem after they rebrand the system.

Google Plasytore is currently unavailable on Windows, but you could try the official website if thats comes in handy https://play.google.com/store?hl=en (Btw you cannot download android applications on your pc except through the use of Bluestacks or such)

try when starting the laptop, hold delete or alt+del down to open in the bios section go to the section that allows you to select the boot able devices change from first hard drive to second hard drive or external disc drive or what ever you have that you can boot from and make that first boot if you get it right then the message insert boot disc will go and the unit will boot up from that device best use an external hard drive that you can put the disc in and make that your first boot up by getting the computer to boot up you can repair any mistakes or circumvent any failed internal hard drive only thing is , if your hard drive is shot , you will loose all files , folders and data unless you have it backed up on another device

You can install or reinstall DVD driver onto your laptop. 1. Open Device Manager using devmgmt.msc command and enable "View -> Show hidden devices" option. Now locate the DVD/CD-ROM drives and IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers items. 2. Right-click on each entry present under both "DVD/CD-ROM drives" and "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" sections one bye one and select Uninstall. 3. Once all have been removed, right-click again and select Scan for hardware changes. The drives will be rediscovered and when the drivers are loaded back, the drives will re-appear in My Computer window. You can also try to restart your computer. Then you should also have a DVD player program on your laptop. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which can play both Blu-ray and DVD movies.

that is normal on new PC too. it means battery is fully charged that is to prevent abuse called overcharging.
