Answer» I have searched and searched through the forums and cannot find anything similar to this.
My situation is this:
I came in this morning to find an error message on my laptop (HP G60-125NR, running on Vista, AMD Turion X2 64) saying that the "HPWA Main Module has failed" or something like that. Asked me if I wanted Windows to find a solution to the problem and I clicked yes. Then it sat there forever and I had to press and hold the power button. Now it starts but nothing shows on the screen and there are no processes running as the button never lights up. Any ideas? I have tried everything. This laptop is brand new (bought in November). Thanks for any and all help!"or something like that" won't help us to help you...we need full, exact message.Unfortunately, the only thing I wrote down was "HPWAMain Module". I have no other idea as to what else it might have said.HPWAMain.exe is wireless application bundled with HP computers that allows you to control different settings on the computer's wireless devices such as Bluetooth and WLAN. Did you try to start in Safe Mode?Tried to start in Safe Mode, but nothing happens. Just a black screen.
Would a problem with HPWAMain.exe CAUSE that? I don't see how, but then again, I am just a mom, and not savvy in computers.So, when you power the computer up, there are no activity lights whatsoever? Any sound of fans, hard drive spinning?Fan was running.
I found this link here from the hp website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00372748&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&rule=5483&product=3795270
I followed the steps under "Test the AC Adaptor". And now it is loading in safe mode. What does this mean? A problem with the battery? Or the adaptor?What happens, if you try to start it in Normal Mode?I restarted it and it WENT straight to normal mode. And it is having no problems whatsoever. A fluke? Any way that I can check to see if there is a problem that needs to be fixed?If it happened just once, I wouldn't worry about it.Thanks, Broni. You rock!You're welcome
