    If the notebook is within it's warranty contact HP for troublshooting and a service to replace if it is hardware.
    Otherwise you would need to purchase the replacement touchpad from partsurfer.hp.com

  • How to replace power button

    I have a PPC mac mini and a matching La Cie HD which stacks on top. This serves as my home music station. BUT obviously we want all the cables out of sight and this means they all face to the back as does the power buttons for the mac and the HD. And this means I'm the only one in the house who can fiddle blindly round the back of both drives to turn them on. Even I am getting fed up trying to 'feel' for both of them, they are the same 'dimple' style.
    What can I do to replace them with more visible and positive switches. I don't much care if they aren't aesthetically pleasing just that they are visible and positive, possibly even mounted on top of the stack with extended wiring if you get my drift.

    Why not just sleep the Mac and wake it up with a mouse click or key stroke instead of shutting it down. Not only is it easier on the hardware than numerous cold boots, but you can start working enjoying it in seconds instead of minutes.
    FWIW' I sleep my Mac's 24-7 and never fully shut down any of them unless I going to be away for several days.

  • How to deal with those pesky touchpad buttons

    The Pavilion series laptops are really well made in a lot of respects.  I have owned my DV5t for almost 4 years now and I've been quite happy with it (except for rather anemic battery life).  There is one thing that became a nasty problem for me, that being the left touchpad button.  It is the most commonly used touchpad button and unfortunately these buttons were not well designed.  They can easily break after a certain number of hits, whereby there's no longer any spring to it.  Pressing the button ends up getting double-taps like mad.  Also, the silver coating on them tends to wear away, looking rather unsightly over time. Once you start seeing the black plastic beneath, it won't be long before the button breaks.  It's really a shame, because these tactile feel buttons work well--they just don't last.  The newer HP laptops have those "lite touch" buttons which I do not like.  The tactile feel is so much better.  Unfortunately, it seems like most laptop makers are going with those solid state buttons to avoid another component that might go wrong.  It's a shame, because with just a little more effort they could have been designed to last a very long time.
    As of this writing, I have now gone through TWO of these touchpads.  How did I manage to get another two chances?  Well, they can be replaced but unfortunately they require you to disassemble more than half of the laptop.  You see, the touchpad is integrated into the palm bezel, and the palm bezel is a piece of plastic coated metal that runs all the way to the back of the laptop.  To get at it requires about an hour of taking the laptop apart.  It's not for the faint of heart either.  However, there is a service manual available that shows you what to do and I was able to follow it... thrice.  Yes, the first button wore out after just under 2 years.  The second one held up about as long.  I use the touchpad buttons frequently, so... well, needless to say, now that I've got the 3rd bezel in place, I am going to rely mostly on an external mouse.  And when I have to use the touchpad, I am going to use it very carefully, not exerting too much pressure (note that you can also tap the touchpad itself for a single click, something good to get into the habit of doing).  Additionally, I'm going to put a sheet of protector plastic on the left mouse button to help avoid wearing out the surface.
    So... one hour to disassemble it and a little more than an hour to reassemble it.  It looked daunting to do at first, but believe me if you're patient and can follow instructions it is definitely doable.  You don't need to be an HP tech to do it.
    As for the parts, I obtained them from eBay.  Apparently there are a lot of excellent condition used parts available from a variety of sources.  I got the bezel for just under $30 shipped.  Also, the speaker grille part is metal and tends to dent, so this time around I replaced it as well as the keyboard (the original was fine, but just a little touchy on one or two keys).  With all 3 of these parts replaced, my laptop feels like new all over again.  As for obtaining parts, you'll need to do your homework with the HP parts finder.  There are many variants of the Pavilion laptop models with many parts in common, so the part you need can vary by number.  The parts catalog can help you find them.
    Anyway, that's about it.  After having done this for the 3rd time, I figured there might be others out there with this problem on the brink of tossing out the laptop or selling it for parts on the cheap.  It's salvageable!

  • Touchpad & buttons Replacement on Satellite L300-13R

    I have the above mentioned laptop and the touchpad buttons have lost their sping on the left button. The laptop is 1 month out of warranty.
    Can anyone tell me who/where I can get a replacement?
    Thanks.

    Hello Stuart
    In my opinion best address for you is nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They can obtain all hardware parts.
    But the question is how to exchange all this without maintenance manuals?
    Do you have experience with disassembling procedure?

    thank you.

    Hi Loow,
    Im sure its possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a notebook. But I think its a little bit tricky because you have to disassemble a lot of parts and thats not easy.
    You should ask an authorized service provider The guys can order new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email for example to get in contact with them.
    You can find a list of ASPs here:

It will fail eventualy I think. Is it possible to buy a replacement touchpad/mouse buttons (I  assume they are integrated in one unit)?
    Can I buy a new unit in the UK and who would I contact?
    Any information about the part no. or scourcing a new one would be appreciated .

    You could try a Linux Live CD. That would tell you if it's a hardware or software issue.

  • DV6-3236nr replacement touchpad / mouse?

    This may seem like a weird question, but is it possible to buy a replacement touchpad (from a similar HP notebook) and swap it with the one in this notebook?
    This is my 3rd HP notebook.  My 2nd died last Saturday after just 2 years of use due to a power surge.  I need a notebook for work, so I went out that night and immediately bought this one (Dv6-3236nr) because of the specs and the price.  
    I got it home, set it up...but I HATE the touchpad - specifically the left and right click "buttons".  Because the touchpad / buttons are made on one piece of plastic surface, I initially thought the left/right buttons just needed to be touched to activate- like Macbook touchpads...but no, they need to be pressed.  
    The only problem is, you have to practically bust a finger to click.  Dragging and dropping and highlighting are ridiculous.  My husband joked that I would be a Thumb War World Champion due to the muscle power needed in your fingers to perform simple tasks.    
    I know the default answers are to either return it for another model OR buy an optical mouse and use that...but after customizing and installing what I need, realizing just how much these crappy buttons limit me & it all puts me in a tough spot.  As for buying a mouse...I just hate having extra equipment to keep an eye on.
    I figure this is more of a techy question so I'm going to ask HP support as well, but figured maybe someone on here had an idea.
    Thanks in advance.

    I figured I'd update this for anyone with this model and questioning the touchpad.
    I submitted a support request via email to HP and they escalated my case to a Case Manager...very disappointing.
    After re-explaining the issue from my email, listening to the outsourced Case Manager tell me I could send in the notebook to be checked for repair with a replacement touchpad because HP won't give me a brand new computer (??? when did I ask for that?!?), then explaining AGAIN that it is a design flaw with this model so installing a replacement touchpad is a waste of time and asking AGAIN if it could be serviced with a touchpad from a different model, she told me the HP warranty only covers original parts therefore they will not install a touchpad from a different  model even if it is a design flaw.  
    What a wonderful company.  I should have known better after sending my last notebook into HP (under warranty) for repair for the power cable plug and having them turn around and want $550 for a new motherboard because it "may" be damaged from some theoretical damage I supposedly "may" caused as it sat on my office desk for 9 months, and accidental damage is not covered until the HP warranty.  When we had a power surge last week that fried the computer, I should've gotten a different brand but I guess I was hoping that experience was a fluke, but no.
    So I'll be taking this model back to the store and getting a different brand.  It's too bad too, because aside from the touchpad I really like this model.  It's not very popular (probably because of the touchpad), but it's fast, quiet, light, and stays cool.
     Oh well.  The fabulous HP "Total Care" support team cost HP another customer.

  • Need to replace Touchpad (Current Synaptics ps/2) for Compaq Presario F761US p/n KP029UAR

    Touchpad is starting to fail (cursor jumping and not registering taps) have contacted HP parts and HP Buy sent me to tech support to find compatible and ended up here.  Can Anyone direct me to a replacement internal touch pad to replace mine?

    The best place to find parts is going to be ebay. The touchpad is removeable from the top cover and replaceable and here is the part for $13 on ebay:

    Service Manual:
    click here to download Manual
    Page 63 starts instruction for removal of the Top Cover. The manual does not show how to replace the touchpad as a separate part but it is removable from the underside of the top cover. You can also replace the whole top cover which is officially the way to fix it. Let us know if you need more help.

  • DV5-1000 touchpad buttons, premature wear

    After about a year of using my DV5-1000, the silver coated left touchpad button began to wear through to the black plastic underneath.  Also, the button became noticeably loose, especially when compared to the right touchpad button.  It eventually got to the point where the button would click unreliably.
    I managed to buy a replacement palmrest part for the DV5, which contains the touchpad assembly (you cannot buy the assembly separately).  Unfortunately, the palmrest is an integral part of the laptop, requiring 75% of it to be disassembled to remove the original part.  I downloaded a service manual and went to work... and I got it done after 2 long hours.  The new part fit properly and the laptop appeared as new.
    A year later, I'm faced with the same problem yet again!  I am not abusive to the touchpad buttons.  This kind of wear should not be happening.  I dread having to take apart the laptop again... but I am worried that the button will start developing click problems as the previous one did.  I wonder if some kind of protective coating added to the button would help it.  Anybody else here suffer premature wear to the left touchpad button?
    "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more possibilities."

    I had a look at some of the newer DV5 models and... I'm rather taken aback with how HP solved the touchpad button problem.  They no longer have tactile keys.  Instead, there's a soft touch membrane.  This makes it very difficult to control sustained pressing of the button, as the travel from on to off is so short.  It was a real cop-out in my mind, that HP didn't stick with tactile buttons.  Sure, there were some problems with how they were intially implemented, but c'mon--so many other laptop makers have tactile buttons that don't wear out.  Why couldn't HP have gone that route of just improving the button?
    Also, what's with all of the wacky patterns that HP is now slathering over their laptop casings?  It makes the laptop look a lot less professional.  If they want to appeal to kids, make it so that there's an optional shell you can get with the laptop with whatever zany pattern you wish.  Or instead, just opt for something conservative and wear resistant.

  • How to use one button rollover symbol to create 100 graphically different buttons

    I do know how to create a button rollover symbol.
    I don't know how to make that button rollover symbol reuseable. I'd like to put 100 different images in 100 copies of the button. I'd rather not make new symbols for every button, since the rollover animation may change.
    Symbol "Accessibility" allows the title to be changed for copies of the symbol. Does similar functionality exist for bitmaps used in the symbol?
    Could the copied button bring in new graphics from the timeline in another symbol or a xml sheet?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been following tutorials, except none of them cover this situation.
    Thanks for your help!

    Created in EA version 3:
    I have 2 samples for you that are very similar.
    1- uses the symbol with no image and loads the image as a background-image for the div.
    https://app.box.com/s/co7uki3fm3b11a3o1xjw
    2- uses an image in the symbol and replaces this image with a new one in the img (not div)
    https://app.box.com/s/3ms92f5cv0mylspsi5uo
    Choose what you prefer.
    3. An example with more elements in the symbol directly on the stage instead of a container. use a container if you want to place the symbols in a specific rectangle div for example.

  • How to replace hard drive and transfer everything over?

    I've looked everywhere but am unable to find a definitive guide on how to do this.
    Currently I have an early 2011 MBP that came with Snow Leopard and upgraded to Lion later. It has an HDD and I want to replace it with an SSD and transfer everything over to the SSD. Considering Lion created a Recovery partition (and there is also an EFI partition), I'm confused on how to do this the best way to basically copy my current hard drive to the new SSD.
    The best I've figured out is to connect the SSD with a SATA-USB cable, use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant ( http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433 ) to create a Recovery partition on the new SSD, then, booting into Recovery, install Lion on the new SSD, and then use Migration Assistant to transfer all my files over.
    Is there a simpler or better-explained way to basically copy my current hard drive over to a new SSD and then remove the HDD and use the SSD?

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • How can I add buttons that do different things to each row of an rpt result

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to figure out how to add buttons to each row of a report. Here is the scenario:
    report query returns a set of data that needs to be "approved". The options are "Append", "Replace", or "Reject" (I want to make the results look like so:)
    Person1 today blah, blah blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    Person2 today blah, blah, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    PersonA today something, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    and so on.
    I'd like to set up the page so that there is an append, replace, reject button for each row returned by the report. So when the "Approver" clicks on the append button, something happens for that row, etc. How does one do this? So far I can only get the buttons to show up in the region. I also thought it might be possible to somehow turn the append, replace, reject text into links that called a plsql proceedure that would handle the action, but I'm not having any success with that idea either.
    Edited by: user10361829 on Sep 29, 2009 12:10 PM

    What I've done is make my report query as follows:
    select field_a, field_b, field_c, 'Append', 'Replace', 'Reject'
    from table_x
    where field y = :PX_ID
    That gives me the words (append, replace, reject) in the report. Then I go to the report attributes section and make a link out of the columns (append, replace, reject) so far, so good.
    Next question is how to make clicking on those links activate an update action on tableN. In the column_link section there is a box marked "Request" that looks like it might be relevant because Request is a term connected to buttons, but I've no idea how to use it. Or, can one use the tabluar form element section of the report attributes page to connect the Append (pseudo column) to an action? I've looked at your example (Sam) with the delete button, but what I really need to see is the Apex menu that sets it up because there are so many levels in the interface it is not intuitive (at least for me). I know exactly what I want it to look like but I'm missing the crucial step to get there... Thanks for your help so far.
    Column link section is described below :
