Dv6 keyboard

I use a Pavilion dv6 - 6195 ca. The keyboard contains several keys with some characters in blue.
The simpler ones contain only two symbols and the blue one is clearly the French equivalent of the English
symbol. Other keys, however, contain up to 5 symbols, 3 in blue. Nowhere in the HP site and most certainly
not in the useless manual, can I find any explanation regarding how to use the blue symbols, e.g. 3/4.
Following the support option in the HP web site, I find an option which included 'keyboard' but the next menu
deals with other topics - in other words a dead end.
There is no place on the HP website to E-mail a simple query and have it forwarded to the appropriate department.
Why do HP make it so difficult to submit an Email without following their labyrinthine menu system?
Hope someone out there can help because HP can not.

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start up to access the Bios Menu and make the change shown in the document on the link below - remember to save this change when exiting the bios menu.

Dv7 / Dv6 keyboard layout and accessories

Hello, I have a new dv7-6c95dx and I am having the hardest time finding accessories for it. I was wondering if you could tell me if the Dv7 and the Dv6 have the same keyboard layout. I can't seem to find a keyboard cover for my Dv7 however, I have found several for the Dv6. I just wanted to know if the keyboards were the same before i made the purchase. Also, if you advise against purchasing the Dv6 cover for my Dv7, could you possibly tell me where I could go to find a cover suitable for my Dv7? Thanks

dv6 keyboard part nos:
530580-001 518965-001
dv7 part nos
519004-001 519265-001
Not the same. Does yours have an enbedded numeric keypad to the right of the main keyboard? All dv7s have the numeric keypad but the pictures I am seeing of the dv6 are mixed. The pictures I am seeing of dv6 keyboards with numeric keypad show the same key layout as the dv7 keyboard so I would say that if the dv6 keyboard cover has a numeric keypad area you are likely OK, but these things have to be an identical fit. I am not seeing a cover for your model on ebay. You might contactt his seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HP-Pavilion-DV7-DV7-1000-DV7-2000-Clear-Laptop-Keyboard-Skin-Cover-/1108...
To see if they know where you can get one.

Why is the Hp Pavillion dv6 keyboard so shaky when i type? the entire thing sinks down when i type.

my keyboard sinks down into the plastic and bounces when i type. this has been a problem ever since i got this laptop. everything else is fine, it is just annoying to type with a keyboard that sinks in. what do i do? And does anyone else have this problem?

DV6-2173cl keyboard does not work in a few occasions (flash, unity, etc)

I've had this problem recently for a while now on my over-a-year-old DV6-2173CL (WA782UA#ABA) laptop where some plugins, like Flash or Unity web player, won't recognize keys that I'm pressing on my keyboard.
The keyboard works fine in all other occasions, like what I'm doing right now typing this up. The only issue with it is that the "/" key on the numberpad is loose but it still works (whenever i decide to use that side of the keyboard, which honestly i don't really).
However, when it comes to, say, a game (which i like to play often on my hp notebook) that's made in Flash or Unity, it won't recognize keyboard actions I do except the arrow keys and spacebar. Many games just use those sometimes, and that's alright, however, many other games uses some keys for specific actions or WASD to move around, and for some reason it just doesn't register. The funny thing, however, is that if there's a text box in a Flash object, like a chat window, I'll be able to actually type in it with no problem. Outside of text boxes, the keyboard just doesn't work (again, aside from arrow keys and space).
The only other instance where the keyboard doesn't seem to fully work is with Google Reader: I use Google Reader's keyboard shortcuts to quickly go through my subscriptions. However, until recently, the keyboard shortcuts just don't work. Interestingly enough, Gmail's keyboard shortcuts still work fine for me.
Another interesting thing I forgot to mention: Keys seem to work at least once at first, but continue to not work immediately after. On Google Reader, you press "j" to go down. I would occasionally try pressing J, and it would work, but trying again or trying any other keyboard shortcut won't work. When I was testing some Unity web player demos on Unity's site, when I was prompted to press M for the menu, it worked. Pressing it again after or other keys wouldn't work (except arrow keys and "esc", don't remember if spacebar was used in that demo or not).
I can't remember how long ago this has been happening, but I'd say at least over a month. I suppose some software I downloaded/installed has caused this conflict, but I'm not sure what and how long ago it was. I haven't tried doing a System Restore yet, being that I don't know when I should restore to and if a time when this wasn't an issue is still on the restore list. I also haven't mentioned about this sooner being that it wasn't particularly a major issue yet since I can still use my laptop for more important stuff, yet it still remains an annoyance.
Other programs, including installed games, appear to still work well with the keyboard, yet for some reason, with those instances mentioned above, they just don't work. I should also mention that Google Chrome is my primary browser, yet it also seems to be an issue across other browsers, including Firefox.
If anyone can come up with any possible solutions, all help would be greatly appreciated.

This is related to the preference :
Search for text when I start typing
With the above preference enabled :
and e10s turned off keyboard shortcut [ correctly is sent to Gmail
however with e10s turned ON keyboard shortcut [ triggers page search instead of getting sent to Gmail
Workaround - with e10s enabled then disable preference
Search for text when I start typing
only then keyboard shortcut [ correctly is sent to Gmail

HP DV6 FAN REPLACEMENT AND LAPTOP REASSEMBLY - KEYBOARD NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY

I called HP Store staff and was able to identify the correct model fan to replace the one in my DV6. I got it and just did the replacement. To those unitiated, its a chore, but it can be done. Give yourself a few hours and peace and quiet. As I discovered, the tricky part is putting everything back. I must have gotten 2 things wrong.
One, the machine thankfully boots to the Windows Start page, and my mouse works fine, the keyboard is now a problem. The keys don't match the screen and I am effectively locked out at the password screen. The key for ENTER is 4. So, what do I do? Re install the cable from the keyboard to the motherboard? Please advise your best suggestions.
Two, when I put in the power cord, the little light to the side of the power adaptor input does not go on. I suspect that the power cord assembly is adversely affected from the reassembly. Any tips?
Thanks,
TK

Reading around on these support page, I figured the cable from the keyboard was not properly installed. Its a tricky item best done with a pair of tweeers, a good bit of light and very close inspection. When everything lines up, close the ZIF hinge and voila! The keyboard now works. And I can boot and get past the passwords.
However, my power is not recharging my battery. That is worrisome and a new issue (from last post above).
Please help. Only a couple hours juice. Thanks.

Availability and Fitting of backlit keyboard to Envy DV6 - 7331SA

I've an Envy DV6-7331SA which works just fine.
I'd quite like a backlit keyboard.
Googling around it seems that backlit keyboards are available but
1. Is this just a simple replacement. I presume the keyboard comes with the backlight cable and there is already a socket for it on the mobo? or what?
2. I can find various foreign and US keyboards but dont seem to be able to find a UK backlit keyboard.
- Is this available
- What is its part No.
- where can I get one

Pavilion dv6-3210s keyboard...

I have an HP Pavilion dv6-3210s laptop. I've had it for about 1 1/2 years.
During this time... my eyesight has been doing downhill. I find the keyboard to be a bit hard to read.
I was wondering if there was a replacement keyboard that was black in color with very bright white letters??? I think something like that would be a bit easier to see/read than the current keyboard that the laptop has.
Thanks,
Mike

Issue with Keyboard Special Characters in HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU

I am using a HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU notebook. I just had my Windows 7 Professional installed. When I @ using Shift + 2 it displays " (quotation marks). It is vice-versa as well, ie., when I type " using Shift ' it displays @ symbol. I as well have issue with typing the hash symbol. When I type Shift 3 it displays £ instead of hash symbol. This is a brand new laptop and I am using an external USB keyboard as well for my convenience. This problem is encountered in both keyboards (notebook keyboard and external keyboard) as well. What do I do now? It has become a literal mess with characters making it difficult most of the times. Kindly help

That looks like keyboard layout issue...Looks like your keyboard is set to UK english...to check that...
To check that, Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
You should see 2 entries English (united States) and English (United Kingdom). If true, delete English (United Kingdom). That should take care of it...

Is there a hidden screw or latch under the ctrl key to release the keyboard on the HP ENVY dv6-7250?

The keyboard is damaged and I want to replace it.
I have a HP Envy dv6 Notebook PC Model # C2L44UA#ABL with S/N {Content Removed}
i believe the part number is B6R23AV WIN 8 MULTI lANGUAGE 64.1.1 dv6 for the keyboard.
I removed all the screws and separated the top surface that holds the keyboard but something under the ctrl key is holding everything together.
Is there a release mechanism in that area. If so how does it work?

Maybe this will help:

Hi,
I have HP DV6-2170ee notebook PC. The 'insert', 'delete', 'home', 'end', 'pgup', 'pgdn' and the 'left/right arrow keys' are not working. Sometimes they work once or twice if I tap them a lot. What could the problem be.
PS : I mostly use external keyboard and I don't use my laptop's keyboard a lot, except when I travel and I don't travel a lot.
Thanks,

HP Pavilion dv6-3145dx Notebook-Problem with keyboard

My HP Pavilion dv6-3145dx Entertainment Notebook PC's keyboard is not working properly. After my laptop has been running for a couple of hours, the keyboard starts typing all kinds of letters, numbers and printing prompts on its own. I spoke with a tech support person at a local retailer and they believe that there is a "short" in the keyboard and/or cable. I have been using an external keyboard as a work around, but an external keyboard is cumbersome for traveling. Unfortunately the laptop is out of warranty by about a month. Also,this problem started right after I purchased a 4MB RAM upgrade from HP.... don't know if there is any connection??? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DV6-6c50US - windows 7

Same case with any keys including arrow keys.
I tried various options with Character Repear in Control panel, but no use.
Also, I hear keypad tones which I have never heard in my laptop earlier.
Not sure, how to get this fixed.
Please help.

Hi,
One thing worth checking is as follows.
From windows Control Panel, open the Ease of Access Centre and click on the link 'Make the keyboard Easier to Use'. If there is a tick in the box next to 'Turn on Sticky Keys' or 'Turn on Filter Keys', remove these and then click Apply to make the change to see if this resolves the issue.
