check youtube for factory restore on your model

I believe your power supply has gone out. Some of them have onboard fuses but I find that it is usually the board itself that goes out.They vary in price but you may need the MFR power supply in order to fit your case.Ebay is a good source.

What are you unable to send / receive on your computer?

In many laptops we can't see the Webcam Icon, so try to install the third party webcam apps and check OR if you want to check whether the webcam there or not . try to install the Skype and videocall to your friend. then u can confirm it

In many laptops You can't see the Webcam Icon, so try to install the third party webcam application.Hope you understand

I assume you have a touch screen? but the keyboard seems to be the problem..(sticky keys) so might try a different keyboard and it wouldn't hurt to clean the Touch screen with an approved cleaner

It seems that your system is overheating so follow these instructions first - Make sure your Heat Sink is placed properly above the processor- Clean the Processor fan, Heat Sink and other peripherals- Use High Speed fans- Use CPU Heat Sink Paste in the processor- Make sure your dint restrict the speed of CPU fan- Shut down your computer atleast two hour a dayIf you are unable to perform above tasks then use a single utility tool like PC Fresher that will fix windows errors that cause of overheating

Restart your computer repeatedly tapping the f8 key to enter safe mode while the screen is black once in safe mode where the only things working will be your keyboard and mouse allowing you to attempt to repair your computer. As the computer is booting repeatadly press the F8 key as the computer is booting If done properly the user should get to a screen similar to the below screen.

You might use the system restore to restore your system to an earlier time click start all programs accessories system tools you should see your system restore option if it is a hardware issue the system restore might not work Manual restore points that you specify with the System Configuration utility Installation restore points that occur before you install a program or a service. You can use the system checkpoints or the installation restore points to restore your computer's settings to a date when it operated correctly. This may also help determine the cause of the configuration error. To perform a system restore, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK. 2.On the General tab, click Launch System Restore. 3.Select Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next. 4.Calendar dates in bold are possible restore points. Click the most recent one to view system restore information. 5.Select a system checkpoint or an installation restore point, and then click Next. 6.Close all other programs. 7.To start the system restore, click Next. 8.Your computer restarts. Repeat steps 1 through 8 until you fix your configuration issue.

I think you would have to sign in and go to your achievements which is on the lower left side of the page. It shows the questions you answered. I am new, so can't promise I am right lol

if windosws boot normaly and you get a black screen proberly a brooken videocard.if windows do not boot i need moore detalis.DETAILS ARE IMPORTENT.

The monitor maybe faulty or the video cable is faulty or the connectors are loose.Connect the monitor to another computer to test the monitor.

windows gone currupt, new installation of windows will solve the issue

Check the cables.

It might be overly simplistic, but if your monitor is connected via a serial cable, one of the pins might be bent or missing.

This can cause slight display problems, including a vertical line.

If you are using a USB, try another cable and see if the problem persists.

Update your video card driver.

Some discrete cards have an update feature in the properties window for the device.

Right-click on your video card in the programs list, and select "Properties."

The update will be a button under the "Drivers" tab if your device is so equipped.

If not, visit the manufacturer's website and search for the most current driver for your model number. Updated video drivers could solve the problem.

Place a box fan directly behind your computers intake vent for extra cooling.

Sometimes if there are system problems, your components can run too hot.

If cooling the computer takes away the line, you know have you an overheating problem, not a monitor problem.

You might try cleaning the internals with canned air.

Remove the housing, and thoroughly blow any dust, hair or carpet fiber away from the fan and off the mother board.

While you're there, you can check to see if there are any obvious loose connections.

Connect the monitor to another computer if you have one available.

This is probably the most definitive test of your monitor's health.

If you have a line when the monitor is connected to a different machine, it's likely time for a new monitor.

As frustrating as it sounds, taking apart one of today's monitors in an attempt to repair it is more expensive than buying a replacement.

If you don't have another computer available, try shutting down the computer but leave the power on to the monitor.

Using the buttons on the monitor bezel (if you have them), call up the settings.

If the line appears in the menu just as it did in the video from your computer, then you definitely have a monitor problem.

Replacement is probably in order

Hope this helps.

Is your windows updates disabled? Is your anti virus up to date? Do you have a Malware program, updated? If you do not have MALWAREBYTES download and install :http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/ Run a FULL SCAN, may take hours, depends on HDD size. Delete ALL RESULTS.

Available in a multitude of stores. An auto parts store is but one example. Sometimes the checkout aisle racks of major discount stores have them. Places like Radio Shack have them.For an economical model it can be an analog model, or digital.The Positive (Red) probe lead is plugged into the DC port on the multimeter. (Red hole that has DC listed by it as one of the options)The Negative (Black) probe lead is plugged into the hole on the multimeter, that is Black. (Or has a Minus - sign next to it)The Function knob is turned to DC Voltage. If just a symbol, the symbol is a dotted line over a solid line.If there is more than one DC Voltage scale, turn it to the 0-50 volt DC scale.The plug end of the AC adapter that plugs into the all-in-one touchscreen, has a Center Hole, and a cylindrical metal shell on the outside.The center hole is the Positive connection, and where the Positive (Red) probe lead goes.The cylindrical outside metal shell is the Negative connection, and where the Negative (Black) probe lead is touched to.AC adapter plugged into power, test the AC adapter.You should be reading 18.5 Volts (DC), or a little higher.http://www.amazon.com/HP-Replacement-Adapter-TouchSmart-600-1000/dp/B006HNVRO2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1350927682&sr=8-5&keywords=hp+touchsmart+ac+adapter[ Also although it isn't directly connected to this diagnoses, I feel it it would also be good thing, to check the cables while you're at it.While testing with the multimeter have an assistant, gently wiggle the cable from AC adapter TO computer, and the power cord TO AC adapter.A fluctuation in the reading on the multimeter indicates broken wires in either the cable, or the power cord ]AC adapter checks out?Problem is with Electrolytic Capacitors on the motherboard, and/or Power MOSFETs. NOTE*Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components inside a computer.With this style of desktop computer, you CANNOT just touch the metal frame of the open computer, and relieve your body of Static.You need to buy, and wear an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source.Electro Static Discharge.

Here is one example,http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245I connect the alligator clip to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case.(I feel an Anti-Static Mat is unwarranted. I do not want my wrist connected to the utility companies ground source. May be a quick storm blo-w in with lightning, or some journeyman lineman may scre-w something up when doing line construction. Yes. I hold a journeyman's license, lol!)You can also set a large metal serving tray (Unpainted), on the table you're working on, and connect to it.Or perhaps a large metal knickknack.

sounds like your hard drive has crashed. you can either simply reset the cmos and try again, if it doesn't work still you'll probably need to replace the drive. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joel_63c670a84e9f6a97
