I actually have 2 of these computers, but the first overheated 5 years ago, and when I pulled the power cord the female part of the adapter came out of the cord jack with the power cord adapter. Neither of the batteries on these 2 computers were part of the recall.

Sorry to provide yet another audio device post, but my working dv 6700 did not come up on search HP support.
I get the message "No audio output device is installed." after an update.
My DVD drive has disappeared. The fan never shuts off and is LOUD unless I use power saver mode, where it doesn't run at all. The system restore says it has no backups, but it does have some recent backups. The pavilion runs very hot.
To remedy the sound issue I have tried:
updating BIOS,
repairing the operating system with sfc/scannow,
system restore,
Microsoft Fix It automatic repairs,
and other lesser ideas such as:
updates,
reinstall driver,
Services properties for audio
Some of the fixes work temporarily, but inevitably the sound is lost again, and the icon in the system tray has a red x.
The hardware cannot be found in device manager, so drivers cannot be updated.
I can't turn the hardware on or off, because it isn't found in the first place.
Rebooting sometimes fixes it temporarily.
It's very frustrating to have an entertainment pc with no sound. Can you please help? Links to repair options at HP under Problem Reports and Solutions do not always work. When they do, the problem recurs.
I have not even attempted to get back the CD ROM or fan issue.
Thanks for your patience, and for being there to help. -C
