DV7 laptop - Break key?

Laptop is HP DV7-6175us. I need a Break key for MS Access code debugging, but there's none on the keyboard.
The right-shift key's alternate label is "Pause", so I tried Fn+right-shift that but it doesn't do it. Tried adding the ctrl key to the sequence - that didn't work either. Nor does Esc.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Try the MS Windows on screen keyboard. Get more info on it a the MS site:
<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Type-without-using-the-keyboard-On-Screen-Keyboard>
The pause/unpause key should help you with this task.
A google search can provide some other work arounds involving third party utilties and changes to you registry...
take care...

Break key for pavilion dv7

How can I use the break key available on any other keyboard, there is only a function for the pause key located under shift of all places.
Using windows 7, 64bit.
Need to break out of a function in microsoft access to change code at breakpoint.
just need to hit break, that's it.

Hi,
It's a CTO machine therefore we can have its specs.
1. For RAM, I think 16GB is its limit as shown in the following link:

2. Yes, you can use SSD on the second bay, please watch the following video:

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

Can I attach multiple external monitors to my Pavillion dv7 laptop?

I have one monitor connected through the HDMI interface and I would like to have another one attached as well. Can I use the VGA port (or the other flat one -- I do not kjnow what it is called) and have the monitors work in concert?
Thanks!

Hi, Jerry:
Theoretically you should be able to connect as many monitors as you have video out ports.
Since I don't have your model, I can only speculate.
I know that this is true of desktop PC's (where the onboard video is not disabled by an add on card).
I believe the other HDMI-looking port is a display port.

Additional laptop function keys and KDE

Hello everybody. If I install all KDE packages with:
sudo pacman -S kde
I got native support for all my laptop function keys (like volume control, mute, etc...) with also graphic icons showing up when I choose a function. Of course I also get a ton of other software which I don't need. Sadly to say, installing only kde-base (which of course is the way I want to proceed in order to fully configure my system only with what I need) doesn't provide this functionality. I spent some time looking at all KDE packages with:
pacman -Ss kde | less
to find out the one I need, without success. Has anyone any idea about the packages I may need to install? Thank you.

HP dv7 laptop computer windows 7 64 bit sound issues

how do I fix garbled sound on on HP dv7 laptop computer. I checked the drivers and they are updated. The sound comes from IDT high def Audio codec. It also has Beats

You're very welcome.
You do have a point, and I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm sure folks have brought this up in the past, but I don't know why HP doesn't provide some official presence on these forums.
Sometimes some of the HP employee forum members will do things like get driver pages added for models with no support pages, but I have rarely if ever, seen where an HP volunteer forum member takes a techinical issue and "runs it up the flagpole," as it were.
Have you tried this driver (6.10.6365.0 (11 Nov 2011)?
It's a newer version of the one on your notebook's support and driver page.

Pause-Break Key with apple keyboard

Pause Break key

How do I map the function of the "pause break key" from a PC keyboard to the apple mac keyboard using OSX 10.4.8?
thanks

Download and install the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools. There's an app in there called remapkey.exe that will allow you to remap any key on the keyboard in Windows XP.

Pause-Break key in BootCamp

Is there a way to emulate the PC keyboard's Pause-Break key on a MacBook Pro when in BootCamp (or in a Parallels Windows XP vm)? Unfortunately, a legacy program used in many newsrooms (called Coyote) only allows remote access using an aging Windows-only program that makes extensive use of the Pause-Break key. Thanks.

4 cells of HP ENVY dv7 Laptop battery instead 6

Why HP Support Assistant shows 4 cells of HP ENVY dv7 Laptop battery instead 6 cells as it is in specifications ?
Also the 4th cell charge value shows 0 mV!
Design capacity of battery is 5585 mAh and for less than 6 months of usage it was reduced to 5216 mAh! - is it normal?
So exactly I have battery with only 3 real cells!
Where is the problem?

Sound issues with a Pavilion dv7 laptop, please help!

Hi everyone!
I have the Pavilion dv7 laptop and LOVE IT! It's a great machine and has amazing features, especially some quality sound, when it works. I'm looking for some help with this problem. I can fire it up and have sound. And then the sound will cut our and when I go down to the volume and open up the sound properties, my speakers are missing and it says it's using an HP dock, which I don't even have. Sometimes, it will say that it's using headphones. But the option for my speakers does not show up.
I can reboot and sometimes that will help and it will fire back up with sound, sometimes not. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do to keep my sound from going out.
Thanks in advance!
-Sean :-)

Likely the AC power jack has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Not sure why or how it can work if you remove ACPI support but the jack does have a pin that carries data to the motherboard and I suspect yours is bad. This is the part and what it looks like. It is a middle-difficulty replacement, at worst.

Hello ElyMayor,
I understand you would like to upgrade both your Dv7’s to have backlit keyboards, is that accurate? I will assist you with finding the necessary information.
Neither laptop has the chance to be upgraded with a backlit keyboard. Checking the services guides for both computers, they do not show the keyboard available. Also looked at the HP PartSurfer and the parts were not available there as well.
When upgrading the keyboard the motherboard as to have the additional plug specifically for the backlit keyboard. Normally that connection is right next to the main connection the keyboard plugs into.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Hi,
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Any improvement?
Regards,
DP-K

Hi:
You probably need to install the graphics driver and if this one doesn't work, you are out of luck, and will need to install Windows 8 64 bit.
