HP DV9000 Part number GW910av - Problems

[Littlefoot99]

hello

I have a DV9000 HP laptop part number GW910Av

3 items work sometimes ( Sound card ) ( web cam ) ( DVD Burner ) mostly off then on

Tonight I ran windows updates and the sound and DVD burner are on for now. The web cam showed in Device manager but when I ran youcam software it stated USB device not recognized. Then I rechecked in device manager the web cam was no longer listed.

All 3 devices have done this for quite some time be on 1 minute and gone the next. My 3 USB ports have always worked fine without any problem and are still working with no errors.

In device manager under USB I have 2 unknown devices??? Not sure what that means

Any idea what may be causing this is really appreciated.. Thanks 🙂

I also forgot that when the sound is out, the icon is still on the task bar but has a red circle through it like it is muted, The sound is out but will do system beeps through the speakers. As stated above the Sound is working for now..

Update:

I turned the laptop off and now the sound is off again: The speaker icon in the task bar is there but has a red X next to it - When I put the mouse over it it says: No Audio Output device is installed

I am lost.. Not sure what is up with this thing

The DVD Burner is working normal
The web cam isnt showing up either as of yet

i say you back up the drivers on the Laptop and do a clean install. who needs all those extra HP stuff anyways its junk

I actually did that last night.. Same thing started happening.. maybe have a bad board is what I am beginning to think>>

hmm you tried drivers and fresh install and its still not working.

try finding a backup recovery disk for that series and isntall chipset drivers and anything you can to see if that gets rid of the problem if not. that HP is dead anyways.

i never liked HP laptops their superlowbudget pieces of junk that. netbook or a different brand is the way to go.
