HP/Compaq :: Dm1Brightness Level Set To Max After Reboot On XP

Feb 22, 2010

I tried to install XP SP2 on dm1 (su4100 version), already up and running now.

The problem was about screen brightness, it seem that xp cannot remember the last brightness level. Every time I rebooted, the screen brightness always set to max level.

I have tried to change Intel chipset and vga driver, but still nothing.
all the Fn + key button worked, even for brightness setting.

Tried installing latest QuickPlay driver, it get worst (it doesnot match with function, in dv6700 Fn+F7,F8 for setting brightness, in dm1 Fn+F3,F4)

The other issue was "pop" noise when windows is starting, but I already solved with some registry trick (which was posted in this forum)

I owned notebook with XP before, and the screen brightness always followed power scheme, if I change the scheme the brightness level will set to the last it was.

So, anyone have any suggestion regarding my brightness issue ?

If some how I can't solved this issue, Is there any 3rd party software for managing power scheme like in vista for XP ?

HP/Compaq :: Reboot Loop

Mar 4, 2009

I'm running Vista 64 and one of my recent windows updates, for the .NET framework, is not able to complete (I don't think it completely downloaded), but when I boot up it keeps trying to complete installation then reboots the computer when it can't, in an endless loop.

What can I do? Does Vista have a 'Safe Mode' or something where I can bypass the normal boot up and be able to get on there to grab my few unbacked-up files, then reinstall Vista? Any other kind of temporary fix? I've been seeing a few weird things for the last couple of weeks so I want to do a clean reinstall no matter what at this point, but I REALLY need to grab a few super important files first.

HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion DV6500 Reboot Loop

Jan 13, 2010

I have a client that brought me their HP Pavilion DV6500 laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium edition) that seems to have a severe issue.

When you attempt to power it up the lights above the keyboard all light up and you can hear the hard-drive spin up but then it reboots itself and begins a continuous reboot cycle. Nothing at all appears on the screen ever. The DVD/CD drive spins up momentarily (indicated by the yellow LED) but powers off when the laptop reboots itself (as one would expect).

The only way to stop the continuous rebooting is to press & hold the ESC key; this prevents the computer from rebooting, the lights stay on, but nothing appears on the screen and the DVD/CD drive will not read the recovery disc(s).

I have taken the following trouble-shooting steps:

1) Unplugged the unit from AC power & removed the battery. I was sure to hold in the power button for 30 seconds to ensure the capacitors were properly drained. This reset did not fix the issue.

2) I reseated the RAM and switched the RAM sticks (there are two of them) in trying to determine if it is a RAM issue; no affect with this attempt either.

3) Have attempted to boot into SAFE-MODE many times with no luck.

HP/Compaq :: Envy 15 F.26a Firmware Recycles Power With Every Reboot

May 13, 2010

I flashed to f.24 with no problems before HP yanked it. Just now I flashed to f.26a, and now I'm noticing that with every soft reboot the laptop recycles power - power light goes off and back on, even doing a ctrl-alt-del on a DOS prompt!

I'm not 100% certain it was this way with f.24 as I haven't had the need to boot to DOS until now (just whacked the stock HP OS). But I sure don't remember the computer recycles power with every Windows reboot.. Is this how HP is fixing the wakeup and/or black screen problems that I never had?

This can't be very good for those who have a spinning platter hard drive - I got one myself I got the 160SSD+250HDD.

Dell :: Battery Wear Level

May 27, 2010

Just a heads up to all the studio XPS owners. I opened up HWmonitor to check some temps and I noted the battery wear level and its 23%! I have only had the laptop since mid February and its degraded this bad very quickly. Needless to say I will be calling Dell and getting a replacement.

But I thought I would bring it to the attention of the community, because its been so helpful for me I try to give back.

Dell :: 20% Wear Level ( Battery)

Dec 11, 2009

I bought my Dell Inspiron 1545 about 6 days ago, I decided to install windows XP and drop vista in-order to save the battery life from vista hungry resources but

it didn't go very well i get about 2.15 hours max (with only firefox running and a LAN connection cable plus i shutdown wireless+bluetooth).

from the battery under windows XP, then i read about vista/windows 7 that they have better power management than the ancient XP so i installed the vista basic that came with the laptop but when i measure the battery's wear level which was too late i found out this:

System information for windows: <br />

Apple :: Basic MBP With Intel X25-m Or Level 2 MBP

Feb 2, 2009

I am thinking of getting the 8600 MBP with 2gb, the basic hard drive, etc. Then replacing the hard drive with the 80gb intel x25-m and selling the the original. This would come out to a few dollars more than the 2.53gb macbook with 4gb and the 320gb hard drive.

I don't need a lot of space because i have multiple terabytes of external media collection hard drives.

Doesn't the 2.4 consume less watts than the 2.53 as well? This would be better for battery life, which I care about.

Dell :: M1530 Battery Level From 1 Hr -&gt; 0:07 Instantly

Jul 28, 2009

recently I started having battery issues on my m1530. I have the 9 cell, and it always worked fine and gave me 3-4 hours of time. Now, though, it displays 3 hours, then drops slowly and accurately with time, until it gets to about 1 hr. At the 1 hr mark or so, it will instantly fall to 5% remaining (about 7 mins) and then turn off after that 7 minutes.

Also, I have been having issues with the charging as well, where it will get to "plugged in, not charging" and just sit at a certain %charge. I am away from home at a temp housing this month, so I don't know if it is just the outlets here, but sometimes it will charge all the way up and others it will just give me power and no charge.

Acer :: 5335Volume Level Missing On Screen

Oct 2, 2009

I was doing some house cleaning on a co-workers Acer Aspire 5335. Cleaning out all of the junk and bloatware and such. In the process of doing this, I seemed to have either disabled or uninstalled the utility that shows the volume level on the screen when you turn the volume up or down.

Do any of you by chance know what program controlls that? I went to the Acer site to look, but I'm not sure what program it may be.

Acer :: Aspire 5920g Battery Wear Level 49%

Apr 7, 2009

I bought this laptop 5 months ago and I have been monitoring it slowly deteriorating by battery life, it is a 6 cell 4400mAh battery and I use it every day, and make sure not to let it drop below 10% battery power as to not do full discharges and only partial.

I was getting 1hr 50 mins when I first got the laptop which may have been max or min settings I cant remember but anyways which seems not as good as the advertised 2.5 hr battery but I can understand that advertised and actual may differ and max, min would have had an effect. Anyways now after 5 months (Purchased early december) I am only getting 58 mins on full charge at minimum settings, now this does seem quite ridiculous and NHC is reporting 49% wear level.

My question is, is this normal for a Li-Ion Acer battery after 5 months, it seems quite bad to me, and all I can think is the laptop was left on the shelf for a while before i bought it, or that it is defective. I rang acer warranty support and I feel quite fobbed off with them saying this is normal and usage patterns and that their warranty for batteries only last 6 months and I should expect only to get 1/4 of the full charge i did when i purchased after 6 months. So acer is in the business of making low quality batteries?

Sony :: Battery Wear Level- Vaio FE690

Jan 4, 2009

my Sony Vaio FE690 only lasts around 30 min on battery (I tried calibrating, still same life) but every utility that I try (Battery Eater, Notebook control, Everest, etc.) reports a wear level of 0% and a full charge capacity that is the same as the original capacity.

Can anyone confirm that the Sony battery firmware does not report the wear level? I'm wondering if it has something to do with my BIOS upgrade.

Apple :: Start-up Sound - Loud As That Volume Level

Mar 7, 2009

I usually turn my volume really low or even mute it before shutting down my mbp, and when I turn on my mbp, the startup chime will be as loud as that volume level.

Yesterday, I used onyx to clean up some of the preferences,etc. Now, it doesn't matter if I mute the volume before shutting down, the start-up chime will always be there at the same level.

I rather not download the startup sound preference program if i really dont have to.

HP Pavilion 15-p046na Audio :: Sound Level On Playback?

Oct 5, 2014

I've recently bought an HP Pavillion 15 laptop with AMD/Realtek HD audio hardware and Beats Audio. Windows 8.1operating system.  It's brand new out of the box with no updates made.
 
When I playback mp3 music via Windows Media Player, the volume is getting boosted during quiet parts.  This is especially noticeable on tracks which fade out, the sound level gets progressively higher as the song fades out, like it's trying to maintain a constant playback volume.  This creates a lot of background noise on music recorded from vinyl, for example.
 
I've checked it isn't the recording, by transferring the same mp3 file to another device and playing it there - the song plays back exactly as recorded, no problem.
 
I can't find any options in the audio devices (or beats audio) which might control this behaviour.  Is there an equaliser somewhere in the system?
 
p.s. it behaves the same even with Beats Audio disabled. p.p.s it behaves the same with internal speakers, headphones and external speakers.

Dell Inspiron 15 :: Will Not Reboot Even In Safe Mode

Oct 30, 2014

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 320gb hard drive that I purchased in August 2013. It has been a great computer until last night.

I shut it down and later rebooted it.

It seemed normal until the wallpaper ( a photo of mine ) appeared as normal. The date and time was showing along with signal strength and battery strength.

None of my short cuts appeared and none of the keys on the key board work - at all.

I tried rebooting and hitting F8 to go to safe mode - nothing.

I tried a memory stick and a SD card but computer will not recognize anything. I would go back to all factory defaults and lose my files if I could get access.
