How to fix keyboard flex on envy laptops

I own two laptops all from hp and I bought them at the same time. The HP ENVY 15-j051nr and the HP ENVY 17-j029nr all with amazing specs and performance.<br><br>But my main issue that bothers me seriously is the keyboard flex. The keyboard of both laptops flex so badly it's extremely annoying.considering the price these laptops go for, it makes you feel like they're just utterly cheap and of low quality meanwhile they're not.<br><br>QUESTION::<br>Is there anyway to fix the keyboard flex?<br><br>I can handle any opening up and tightening some screws or any fix that would require me to open the laptop up.<br><br>Generally all answers relating to help fix the issue of keyboard flex is welcome.

It is normal. I was provided an Envy 17-j029nr as a "loaner/tester" by HP to facilitate my participation in this Forum. My ONLY complaint is keyboard flex and nonresponsiveness. It will not recognize double letters. If I try to type "letters" it always comes out "leters" unless I slow down and punch the "t" twice very distinctly and slowly. I am thinking about trying to remove the keyboard and possibly stick a piece of thin rigid steel plate under the keyboard to hold it up but the keyboard is an island key type and not easy to get to and I cannot disassemble it too much.

  • Re: How to fix keyboard keys on Satellite L40?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if you can help me...my boyfriends cat laid on my keyboard, the key 'b' jammed and fell off. I have a Satellite L40 series. I have the blue and black hinge and the 'b' key. I require my laptop for various assignments. Please help me!!Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Its tricky to fix this if the plastic hinge is broken.
    Not sure if you will be able to replace only the hinge but I found a nice movie on youtube which shows a replacement of such hinges.

    However, in worst case you will need to replace the keyboard.

    Hello, good_nature. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device.  Once this is done test the keyboard functionality.

  • How to fix keyboard lag in Messages

    Phone: iPhone 4 16G
    Carrier Verizon
    Whenever I type a text message or iMessage I notice that there is considerable lag.  The letters show up seconds after I select them.  I don't know if this is a memory issue?  I have 6.5Gb available space on my iPhone.  Is there any way that this can be fixed?

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • HP Envy laptop keyboard "bubbling"

    Hi
    I'm a newbie to these forums so hope I am doing this right.
    I have a brand new HP Envy laptop, with the specs as below. I am having a problem with the physical keyboard bouncing up and down when I type. Its almost like there is an air bubble under half the keyboard. I can still use it but its annoying and I expect better quality for the almost $1200 price tag of this laptop. It was only bouncing a bit when I got it, but it seems to have gotten worse the longer I use it.
    SO... I did reach out to HP support and they gave me instructions on how to take it to the HP service centre to get the keyboard replaced.
    My concern is - I have over $2000 of design and business software on this machine now. Does anyone know if when they replace the keyboard they will have to reformat the harddrive and delete all my software? I really hope not! Also any idea how long this procedure will take? I am hoping they can do it while I wait so I dont have to give up my computer as I use it day and night.
    Please advise if you know about this. thanks!

  • HT201413 im having problem with my ipod. it cannot be recognize with my laptop. how to fix these? i already tried ur suggestions here but still didnt work. and also it cannot connect to itunes. plese I really need a help.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!

  • My keyboard is no longer lighting up on my macbook pro...does anyone know how to fix this issue manually?

    My backlight on my macbook pro unibody is not working. The lights do not come on. Does anyone know how to fix this manually? Im also missing screes to the back of my computer holding it in shape. My battery needs to be replaced as well. How do i do all of this? Id also like to replace my RAM.

    For the keyboard backlight:
    Have you tried pressing the "lights on" F-key, that has like a half-round rays of light over a bar symbol (currently F6 on my Mac, but may be different on other models)? If it doesn't work, does anything show on the screen?
    If a crossed-out symbol pops up onscreen when you press the F-key, that means that automatic keyboard lighting is enabled and the Mac thinks surroundings are too bright already. Go to System Preferences / Keyboard and uncheck the "Automatically illuminate keyboard..." item, then try again.
    For the screws:
    Visit www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com and see in their Mac parts section for a replacement screw set. You will need to know your Mac's model, printed on the bottom lid, to ensure you get the correct parts for that particular computer.
    For the RAM:
    While in either of the two places I mentioned above, visit their How-To / DIY section for instructions on how to replace RAM on your Mac. Then visit www.crucial.com, www.corsair.com, www.kingston.com, www.otherworldcomputing.com or any other RAM maker, use their RAM advisor together with your Mac's model to select the correct RAM upgrade kit for your Mac.

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
