HP PRINTER DOOR OPEN ERROR
michelsmith replied to SHED-OF-BOOKS's topic in Tech Support & Discussions Forum
Hi, First try unplugging the printer for 5 minutes and then plug it back in and see if that resets it. If not, it's likely a hardware issue. Lift up the printer door and look for a switch or latch that is pressed down - or should be - when the door is closed. It's likely that this switch has broken off and that's why it is not detecting it. If you can find it, you can tape it down or rig it up. -

Laptop freezing after format
michelsmith replied to spritzer2001uk's topic in Tech Support & Discussions Forum
Hi, It is a hardware problem or it can be a BIOS setup problem. It can happen in many ways – Computer hardware might not be installed correctly; mother board’s jumpers are set incorrectly; computer or its peripherals have been shorted out; or it can occur due to some other mechanical problem. Though these could some of the reasons, sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason. When the display stops working, the remedies should be worked out one by one. -
Hi, First thing you can do is check the power supply to your speakers. Are your speakers plugged into the wall or power strip? Most speakers have a little LED light somewhere on them indicating their power status. Check your computer’s sound card to make sure it isn’t muted or turned down really low. Next, you can test your speakers’ volume. Play a song or media file, and turn the speakers up as loud as possible until you hear a noise. Finally, if all of your drivers are up-to-date, you need to think about the possibility of bad hardware in your speakers and return them to the retailer or manufacturer you bought them from.

asus k5oij laptop not booting up

This may be because the supply of power from the wall socket is not proper as per the needs of your laptop, or the cable that you are using with the laptop is damaged or broken from inside. You may try by changing the power cord or using another wall socket to power your PC. This can prove to be of great help most of the times. -
Start up problem Dell 6400
michelsmith replied to jakethesnake's topic in Tech Support & Discussions Forum
Hi, By and large, system files which are missing or infected with viruses can result in a Dell no boot situation. In that case, we can assist you to find the missing DLL files. If by chance, your Dell PC is not booting then we can try to use certain commands to boot in Safe Mode. At times, Windows OS may not allow you to boot in Safe Mode. Apart from this, Dell no boot issue may occur if the disc drive or a USB drive is in use. This can happen if the bootable device order is modified. To get rid of this issue, we can suggest you to change the bootable device order from BIOS and allow the hard drive to boot along with Windows OS. -
