HP/Compaq :: How To COMPLETELY Remove A Webcam Driver
Dec 22, 2009a new 6730b and the one serious remaining problem I have is that the battery, even though plugged in on AC, displays as 'plugged in not charging'.
I've discovered - by endless hours of hard slog - that the webcam driver is actually the issue here. I've uninstalled the chicony software and, on the few occasions that I've succeeded in uninstalling the driver & kept it uninstalled for the next start-up, the battery recommences charging. But in recent days it's reverted to reinstalling the driver on start-up, and stopping the battery recharging.
I can't seem to permanently remove the driver, no matter how hard I try. And I really, really want to!
The driver uninstall or disable in Device Manager only gets rid of it until the next start up (and unless I can restart without it reinstalling, the battery doesn't get kicked into recharge).
I've even tried deleting the driver from WindowsSystem32drivers - I changed all the permissions to enable me to delete and... deleted it! Even double checked that it had gone to the recycle bin. Yes, it's there.
But I restart after all this and the damn thing has magically put itself back in the same file.
Dell :: How Do I Completely Remove Bluetooth Drivers From My System?
Mar 15, 2009I was trying to re-install the Bluetooth drivers (R140135) on my system (configuration in my signature),
and hence I removed all the Bluetooth related devices in the Device Manager. But now when I try to install the drivers, I get this message -
Code:
"Please uninstall current Bluetooth installation before continuing"
I have tried to remove it from where ever I could find it, I renamed the default Windows Vista drivers so that they are not loaded.
There is no mention of Bluetooth anywhere now, but the DELL driver file still gives me that error!

Dell :: XPS M1330 Is Completely Dead
Jan 1, 2009Last week, my XPS M1330 decided to give up on me. I bought the laptop more than a year ago and the warranty has expired.
I have been enjoying this laptop very much since I bought it. I works great and perfectly well. It never gives me any problem - hardware or software, and I took great care of it.
Last week, it decided to give up on me. I hadn't switch it on for a week, and when I switch it on last Saturday, it boots well until it got to the Windows Welcome Screen, the whole laptop went off! It's completely dead. No sign of life at all. I tried to change to another battery (I have an extra 9 cell batt), and it doesnt work .....
Sony :: (Completely) Disassembling Vaio
Nov 21, 2009Spilled beer on my comp about a week ago, immediately got a blue warning screen telling me to contact my service provider. So I unplugged it and pulled the battery, drained what liquid I could out of it, and slowly started disassembling right down to the motherboard. I slowly spent the last week gently rubbing the crud off all the circuits with a soft toothbrush and some q-tips, everything appears to be gone. I did not check the CPU, hopefully that's fine. Anyway I put it mostly back together and tried to power it on, and nothing happened.
It is possible that the beer in fact killed it completely. However I would suspect that if that were the case then the unit will still receive power and show signs of life, but not actually boot. Another possibility is that I killed it myself while taking it apart. It is also possible that there is a short, or I forgot to hook everything up correctly, etc etc
From a troubleshooting standpoint I think my next move will be completely taking everything out (motherboard, cpu, everything) and starting from ground zero to make sure everything is clean and connected properly. Ie connecting the motherboard with power and seeing if it powers on, then add the cpu and see if it powers on, then add the memory, etc. I know the system won't boot without a cpu/mem, but it should still respond to the power input. Or at least it should, in theory
Ive done this a thousand times with desktop systems, but never for a laptop. My question: are there any failsafe devices which prevent the system from powering up unless they are connected?
HP/Compaq :: HP DM3 Completely Dead After 1 Month
Dec 29, 2009I was a happy DM3-1030US customer for about a month until this morning when an incredibly strange and frustrating problem has rendered the laptop useless.
Last night when I finished using the PC I left it disconnected from the charger so it naturally ran out of juice and turned itself off.
This morning I plugged it back in and slid the power switch, the fans turned on power light lit up (but not caps lock and Wi-Fi light is orange) but the screen is completely black. The fans remain spinning, computer is clearly receiving power and turned on but nothing happens at all. I've tried leaving it in that state for 30+ minutes to no avail.
I tried removing the battery for 20+ minutes then trying again to no avail. Most frightening of all I completely removed the power and turned on the PC via direct AC power with exactly the same result. This leads me to believe something has completely failed at a hardware level in this machine. Has anyone else experienced anything at all like this?
I'm very dissapointed that such an issue is occuring with a brand new machine like this. I've always thought the price I paid (around $500 from staples with multiple rebates) was too good to be true and now that appears to be the case. Unless HP is extremely graceful in their resolution of this matter I don't see myself purchasing another product from them again, which is a shame since I've purchased multiple laptops as well as my 30" monitor from them in the past. I was even considering purchasing the new Envy 14 when it's released.

Acer :: Completely Restore System Need Guidance
Jan 5, 2009I actually want to wipe my HDD because I get an error in partition table and I can't use Partition Magic and other tools..
I have created an Acronis Image for my PQService of about 8,5 GB and one for the other Hidden partition 3,5 GB - is this a CompaqSetup Diagnostic partition with ROM BIOS ? or is Acer Arcade-InstantOn ? cause I've seen it's name like CompaqSetup and in some utility program it's says about something with diagnostic.. I'm confused about this... and btw I have already created my Recovery DVD's.
So if I wipe my HDD, after it's all gone I can use my Acer recovery disks and reinstall Vista Ultimate and Restore PQservice and the other partition ? How do I restore my backed up partitions like PQservice and Acer Arcade if I don't have them already when I use Recovery Disks ?

Mar 5, 2013As result of completely frozen laptop when trying to copy a very large file (~17GB) - a georeferenced raster image - to an external HDD (connected to USB 3.0 port), I had no other choice than to shutdown. After reboot, I discoverd that some Windows services are not working and boot time is over 20 minutes.
I went to the IT store from which I bought the laptop ( the 2 years warranty is available till november this year) and they reinstalled the system. Of course, they did not reinstalled all Dell system applications.So, because the end of warranty is close, I want to know which are the steps for completly (fresh) reinstall of Dell XPS L702X laptop (windows, driver and Dell applications). I always reinstalled 5 times my desktop ( Win XP Pro) with no errors encountered so I think I might have some skills.
And another question : after this problem, I discovered over the Internet that is a "Reinstallation DVD DELL XPS 17 L702x 6.1 Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 X64" that I did not find in laptop case when I bought it (only drivers CD was in the case). In fact it was a 15" case, not the origina 17" case....what can I say.... Romania......So, I have this driver CD and Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 DVD. Is is enough for clean and complete reinstallation? What are the steps ?
HP Pavilion DV6 6120us Lockups :: Does Not Shut Down Completely
Oct 3, 2014My HP Pavilion DV6 6120us freezes during shut down. Windows looks like it goes through the shut down process and the screen goes black but the mousepad border light stays on and the wifi (f12) button goes orange. The only way to completely shut it down is to hold the power button for a few seconds. Once I start it up again, it says Windows wasn't shut down properly. After a few days of this, now the laptop battery isn't being detected.
I went into the BIOS and run the onboard memory test and hard drive test but both passed. I haven't done a reinstall of the Windows yet but with the battery issue now I am thinking it could be the motherboard but I'm hoping it's something else as it's out of warranty. I'm running Windows 7 Home SP1 64-bit edition.

Dell :: How Do You File A Complaint With Over A Completely Botched Order?
Dec 16, 2008My latest odyssey with Dell has lasted over 3 weeks and ended in utter disappointment; the experience has been both frustrating and time consuming, but I notice it's not all that dissimilar to some experiences others have posted about, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
On 11/24 I ordered a Studio 1737 with an estimated ship date of 12/5. As has been the case for many others, Dell generated a separate order for the Bluetooth module, and like many others I found this frustrating and nonsensical, but I didn't rush to judgment immediately, I decided I'd wait and see if they actually shipped it separately and uninstalled.
Of course, they did, and I received the component on 12/8. I filled out the return request form and asked for an RMA for the component, because I placed the order with the expectation it would be installed professionally. The response I received essentially excused the practice that caused the module to be shipped separately with no disclaimer, and denied me an RMA for the module. They wouldn't let me return it. I went back and forth with this guy for a week, exchanging 6 emails total, each one explaining my disappointment in greater detail than the last. After 6 emails, I still have not received an RMA. Each email merely deflected my concerns and ignored my original request by assuring me not only that I would receive my system and I would be overwhelmingly satisfied, but that he would personally see that the order was expedited.
I fell for this, until last friday, 12/12, when Dell notified me that my order had been delayed for a second time and required my consent to be processed; I logged into the order status site as the email required to provide consent, and then shot an admittedly discourteous email back to the guy who'd been feeding me disinformation for a week to avoid giving me an RMA for a lousy $20 part that plainly wasn't delivered in the condition I expected (I was really annoyed). On Monday, 12/15, I received a response for him, this time assuring me that the system would ship within 24 hours. This pacified me until about an hour later, when I received the email from Dell finally canceling my order completely.
I responded one last time (much more composed and gracious) to tell him I was receiving conflicting information regarding the order status, and to ask which was accurate. This morning, 12/16, I received a terse response from his manager telling me that the order had been canceled "due to unavoidable reasons", suggested that I contact the sales department to have my order reinstated, and asked that I reply to him if I still want an RMA for the bluetooth module (a line his subordinate fed me before, to which I responded in the affirmative).
What do you think I filled out the return request form for, or all the emails I wrote requesting a return?
I'm completely bewildered. I've wasted enough time talking to these people, and I don't intend to continue. I don't even care about returning the thing anymore. The frustration and time lost towers over the lousy $20 lost on the bluetooth module.
All this is added to the fact that Dell delayed my order twice, then canceled it blaming the federal mail order rule, despite the fact that I followed their instructions to prevent that. I don't know where to begin.
I'd like to send a letter detailing this experience detailing my frustration to Dell, on the off chance that someone there is even the slightest bit interested in customer service (then I plan on meditating for about a week and exiling this experience from my mind completely.) I just don't know where, if anywhere, to direct my complaint (the returns department obviously isn't the place, since they don't even know what to do about returns).
They didn't charge me for the system they canceled, only for the bluetooth module that should have been canceled with the system, but if I go through all the hoops they want me to to recover the lousy $20 I'll lose my mind, so it's not about money. I basically want to give them a piece of my mind, cut my losses, and be done with it. Any advice?

Dec 12, 2013My XPS L501X laptop shuts off completely and without warning. What happens is the cursor freezes. The computer does not respond to anything. After about 15 to 60 seconds, the screen goes black and it completely powers down in an instant. It does not restart on its own.
After it shuts down I can re-boot, but sometimes is shuts off during re-boot. Other times it runs for 5 minutes or so. Usually it acts this way for a day or two, then it's "OK" for a week or so before it starts acting up again.
I have run Dell diagnostics and found no problems. I have taken it to the local computer shop. They ran diagnostics and found nothing wrong and were not able to get it to shut down. Yet when I brought it home, it shut down on me within the first hour of use. It seems to run longer in safe mode, but I did have it shut off unexpectedly today while it was in safe mode.
I suspected there might be a problem with my video card as it seemed to be worse when I had an external monitor hooked up to it. Then I ran it for several weeks without the external monitor and it seemed to be OK. Until today when it started shutting down again with no external monitor attached.
This has been an excellent computer until this started happening about 6 months ago. I"m on the verge of giving up and buying a desktop (another laptop like this one is just too expensive). My laptop is out of warranty.
