Deji, pls can you help me with any link to downloading the Microsoft UAA for Win Vista, the one I found was for only Realtek and mine is Conexant.

Install this one first then restart your notebook. visit device manager and see if there's a yellow sign

visit the hp website to download actual drivers for your laptop make and model.

After downloading the drivers visit device manager click on th yellow sign, update driver software

browse to the location of the drivers and click ok. restart to test


If the Micorost UAA report this not for vista then stop and dont go any further.

Visit a computer technician for repair/Support

hello guys and how are u all doin? hope your weekend was boko haram free as mine. i have this issue wif my lappy its a dell pc and the battery wuld not just charge, i tried getting a new battery and still face the same challenge. plz sum1 shd help me

what's the make and model of  your laptop ? for example Dell 1525 windows Vista

Here's your diagnostics in narrowing down the cause, connect battery and charger

Restart laptop and keep pressing F2 for Bios setup utility go to power management

Check to make sure there's a battery image with status[b] not installed[/b]

or not able to determine battery type. Also look out for not able to determine

ac adaptor type

Like my colleague denzel has advised try and change the charger and make sure is genuine type.

Dell did this to prevent unauthorized usage of any other charger apart from theirs.

Check to make sure battery clicks in properly and not seating out got to seat properly in the compartment

Please assist by leaving a comment on facebook regardless of the outcome.

Good luck with your diagnostics

I use a hp cq laptop which is about ten months old. Before now the battery, when fully charged used to last about 1hr 45 mins. I noticed in the last five days however, that it barely last for 45 mins now, even after it is fully charged. What could be the problem?

A battery test is require to determine its condition.

Goodman:
This problem is not a software issue, it is a hardware problem, simply put it the speakers are gone or loose cable on the motherboard. So performing any update will not help in this case, as the OP said there is sound when using the headphones via the audio jack.

Most HP laptops are crap, overheating, GPU inssues, nVidia chipset except the business models and they are more expensive.  I would not recommend HP laptops to my enemies.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00833257

Thats right. I always check manu website for update to a problem or know issues.
for example Have seen engineers replace laptop cd/dvd drive instead of deleting the
lower and upper filters in regedit.Always make sure I check website for update if any.

Will advice poster to take it to a techncian before replacing the speakers
as we're only performing 1st-2nd line diagnostics and need hands on diagnostics.

ie checking loose cable etc.

Goodman:
Yes I agreed the built-in speakers will have to be replaced.

I suggest Ɣ☺ΰ replace them.

This may be the last resort and will advice you click start, run and type in dxdiag press enter look for sound

Make sure no headphone's connected click test sound and let us know the feedback.

Visit HP website and laptop make and models and operating system type and see if there's any

fix update such as audio bios. try checking and read the fix section at the top

vicajabor:
Its so clear that you have a hardware problem, something must have disconnected or lost contact from somewhere when u turned your system. Dont bother yourself looking for drivers its not the problem.

ekpriobong:
@Deji, thanks for your concern pls. The model of the laptop is HP PAVILION DV6700 and is running on Windows Vista. I've tried all possible drivers related to it but to no avail. The system has not fell before or even opened.

ekpriobong:
Nothing like Sound or anything related to it is found under Device Manager. As the sound seized, everything connected to it in the Device Manager dissappeared. Pls try for me.

Let us know if you've truely  followed the instructions. if the microsoft UAA is not available on the

HP website google it and download its free because is universal and no payment is require.

Download the microsoft UAA first of all before downloading the actual drivers from the website

Hi,

I turned on my computer a couple of days ago and I found that my volume wasn't working. Instead, there was a red x next ot my speker on my taskbar, and when I moused over it it said, "No Audio Output Deivce is installed". I went over to device manager and checked under "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" and my audio driver was completely missing! No yellow question mark next to it, nothing at all. So I go to the HP website to download the driver and I can't install it, instead I get this error message saying "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the device for this driver." I've emailed HP support about this and although they were trying to be helpful, I got nowhere with them. I even tried a full system restore, and the problem still persists. Help, I'm stumped!

With the above I assume you're ok to follow,


On your next reply please mention Laptop model for example HP 530 Windows Vista.

Go to HP website select your make and model and operating system type

Look for audio drivers until you found Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver

After installing the above mentioned driver, rebooted the computer and go to device manager,

Right Clicked on the device found under Sound and Video with exclamation, right clicked on it and update the driver.

If no joy go to HP website and download the audio drivers for example Realteak or Conexant

After that restart your computer then test. If no joy get back to us
I provide professional service in my area and will be grateful if a comment can be left on

Nice one V3

all4naija:
Sorry I didn't respond promptly.
Have you test both chargers and battery in other system to be sure they are not problematic?

You don't need to open up your lappy yet. Try the following:

1. Remove your charger and battery from your system

2. Press and hold down your power button for about 10 seconds or more.  This will clear the cmos and make a hard reset.

3. Put the charger on and press start button

If the system boot then, go to --> 4. if it doesn't I would advice you to flash your system BIOS.
.
4. Depress F8 when the system start booting and choose the safe mode option.

5. Save you important files and restart your system in the normal mode.

If you are still experiencing the former problem you should do a new installation.

NB: According to your report here I might be suspecting failing integrated VGA or other hardwares

Powers Laptop on using charger keep pressing F2 or F1 for Bios setup utility.

You"ll get a blue screen leave the laptop there for 1 hour if it shutdown in the bios

is a hardware problem if does not shutdown is software problem. Visit a technician

Odunnu:
Never knew i'll be here again.
Its all good sha.
My lappy has been misbehaving since Monday(atleast thats when I noticed it)
I have a password to the 'admin user' but I cant log in except I go thru 'guest' then 'switch user'.
Secondly, my I cant type right using my 'admin settings' it always gives the alternate letter/sign/number even though i'm not using 'CTRL' button.
Hope someone understands my rumblings

Not really. What make is the laptop, for example HP 530 Windows Vista

What the error message for example failed the logon or bad password

Did you get numbers instead of letters ? make sure Num Lock is off and vice versa

Sweetestchich:
Thanks v3,

I've tried the safe mode option but it doesnt agree to boot in safe mode. After I select the safe mode option, it tries to boot, shows a black screen with commands commands covering the whole screen, then flashes a blue screen in a fraction of a second that u cannot read what is on the blue screen then it goes back to the screen where u need to select safe mode.

When it did not boot in safe mode, I started windows normally to try the logging on through administrator option u mentioned but the result is the same, instead of logging on to desktop, it shows logging off and goes back to the logon screen.

Regards,

Also follow the instructions I posted earlier

v3:
Mobinga,
If you notice he said his system 'shuts down' not 'restarts automatically'. .if it was the latter, i'd tell him to do a disk check for bad sectors in the boot sector or the disk generally.
A good enough guess would be the power, thats why i asked him to verify.

@dy_drod
Can you try Mobinga's solution?
Why do people use Avast Antivirus? That thing is a handful

Ok ummm, it allows you to get to the logon screen right?
Now what you should is try and boot windows through 'Safe Mode'. Power on your pc/laptop and press the F8 key continously, you should see a list of option, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.

Now, when you're at the logon-screen. .Do this
Type your username n password(If you have any), press ENTER and see if you can logon

If that is successful, try and uninstall the antivirus, then restart your pc.
If you can't logon to d desktop and you're returned to the logon screen. .then type(without quotes) either "Administrator", "User" or "Owner". .leave the password field blank, then press ENTER. Try this and get back to us.

Cheers

Power on Laptop and keep pressing F10 for Bios

Look for main, security, boot, system configuration then diagnostics.

You need diagnostics

then hard drive self test

If hard drive test pass try restart keep pressing f8 then select disable automatic restart

on system failure and restart again to see the errors

Get back to us with the hard drive test.Try the F8 if hard drive report pass

Make sure nothing connected such as usb sticks printer etc

[quote author=dy_droy link=topic=301179.msg8675231#msg8675231 date=1310110309]@V3

the link recommends that i take out the charger, take out the battery, open the back cover and take out the cmos battery for about 30 minutes.
I tried this, and when i restarted i loaded default CMOS settings -> then the system went off again!
When i started again it managed to get to the boot loader for Windows 7 / Win XP but when i press Enter the system goes off again
Unfortunately this solution did not work for me, at a lost at what could be the problem now.

@ all4naija

I have two chargers and the laptop powers off on both of them, heck it even powers off on battery power.[/quote]Dear dy_droy

Making sure I understand your post, laptop turns off no restart ?

This either a hardware or software related. Connect charger to laptop

making sure is running through mains. Power laptop on and keep pressing

F2 or F1 to access the Bios, the screen looks blue leave it there for 1 hour precisely if

it shutdown/powers off on that bios screen is a hardware problem. If does not

shutdown on the Bios screen is a software problem.

Is this Windows XP/Vista/7/98 ?

What make is Desktop ? ie Dell

How long has it been like that ?

This information will enable us to

provide 1st line diagnostics

all4naija:
1. Have you checked the Avast website if they have Avast Uninstall Utility available for your case. Then you can download here -- http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html

If the above did not work for you then you can follow the instruction below.

1. Download ccleaner from[url=http:// www.filehippo.com] www.filehippo.com[/url] and install it.

2. Run it and clean your registry.

3. Save all your important files.

4. Restart your system while booting hit the F8 keep and choose the safe mode?

5. Do restore to the time before you install Avast.

WARNING > before you do the following be careful not to go above what I instructed you to do unless can be damaging to your system operation.


6. If you do not have restore point in your system in the safe mode go to your program folder and delete everything under avast.

7. Go to run and type regedit and click Ok.

8. Click file and look for seach. Type avast into the search bar and click Ok.

9. Delete very highlighted file. Repeat the search until it tells you nothing is found.

10. Restart your system.

I hope this will help or rather do new System Installation.

Splended

This's not an argument is a basic. If is a PC then fine, but a laptop

overclocking is too technical thats the only thing that concerns me.

I read each post unlike other people and make comments on them

because i read them and we are here as a collective team.

I'm not arguing with you and make you read my previous post

I very much like the advice you gave except step 2.

Overclocking is too technical to use

This's a user not a knowhow like us

Some Nigerians dont pay for things

all4naija:
Checking for overclocking is very important which might help to alleviate your purchasing of extra components − I know this by experience.

Dear all4naija,

The user may or may not know the term overclocking, would be good if you can check that

for him or her for better understanding. And this is a laptop unless am mistaken

Valentinooo:
Pls guys, each time I remove charger from my system the system will enter sleep mode, I have to on it again to continue what I am doing. When I carried  out a research on it, I found out that the battery critical level was 98%, I changed it to 5% but the thing go back to 98% each time I click Ok. Who can help me on how to change it to a lower critical level? Or does it mean the battery is gone? Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

To aid us in providing 1st line diagnostics please remember to mention laptop make and model

and opertaing system type. For example HP 530 Widows Vista Basic

Mention laptop make and Model, XP or Vista , this the way you'd get a reply

all4naija:
Anyway, what is your system make and configuration?

I think the first thing you have to do is backup your old BIOS and flash it to new but most compatible one before attempting to do anything else.

The new flash will restore many functions which are lacking in the former.

As a service professional we expect you to provide laptop make and model and Operating system type.

you cant install through network when you cannot get into windows. Network

For example on advent, toshiba, HP netbook no cd drive and can only install through  CD USB,

or create usb recovery if the option is available.That's why we need laptop make and model

to find out if built in HDD recovery solution is available

ignore the usb issues focus on resolving the problem such as boot order in the bios. providing laptop

make and model would enable us to determine its compatibility.

all4naija:
What generally make 64bit system to be different from 32 bit is the processing abilities. On the other hand, I think RAM is not actually the big deal here cos it can be upgraded, at least, to about 4Gb according to that Chipset of that particular system. But, before you pay for the system:

1.  try to look out for things like charging problem(if it works properly and make sure it is not discharging).

2. Check for overclock which might caused it to overheat.

3. Flip the lid and watch out if the screen glares .

4. Make sure the keyboard  is working correctly.

[color=Black]Check all the above except step 2 as irrelevant.

Check the laptop make and model of Dells website to know issues

such as update and patches, battery and charger recalls.

Most importantly turn on laptop press f2 or F12 to enter the Bios screen

Locate for diagnostics or such until you find battery status health[/color]

Slim101:
Thanks bro. Nothing has changed. I use a 12-Cell battery and my battery life is still same.

xtremeidea:
Like Valentinoo rightly said, what i mean is how many hours does your battery last after a full charge?

I also use a 12 cell battery for HP compaq

I take it is an HP laptop ? Visit HP award wining website and follow the instructions

on the page. ensure battery and charger remains inside the laptop

The battery result will Good or bad status. read the page very slowly and carefully
