HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010 Use a Standard Keyboard Driver

I love everything about the HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010 desktop Except for the keyboard. I use various programs that use the F1-F12 fiunction keys. Trying to type Fn-Alt-F4 is no easy feat. I really don't need all the other special keys on this keyboard.
How can I replace this system's keyboard drives with a standard Windows keyboard driver. This system is running Windows 8.1 x64.

Hello @JohnG0814,
I understand that you are trying to use the standard keyboard on your HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010 All-in-One Desktop PC. NowI have gone through the User Guide for your computer and found nothing on disabling the HP Keyboard that you have by default.
I did however find something that may do the trick. In your BIOS which you can get to by restarting and tapping the F10 key you will see under 'Security' a sub-section named 'Secure Boot Configuration' that has a setting for Secure boot > Key Management > Key Ownership. If you go there you can change it to 'Custom keys', which I believe will resolve your keyboard issue. I am posting an image to help below.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Replacement screen for HP Beats Special Edition

We have an HP Beats special edition - Model 15 p-030nr with a cracked touchscreen. I'd like to find a replacement screen to do the repair. Haven't had any luck finding a part number or anything. Thanks!

HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) screen brightness issue

I'm haing a screen brightness issue on my HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR). I upgraded from 8.1 and the F2/F3 keys to dim or brighten screen do not function. Any suggestions besides reverting back to 8.1.? Not sure if I had the screen dimmed all the way or brightened all the way when it was upgrading, or if it even mattered.

Adding second monitor to HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010xt All-in-One with HDMI Cable

Trying to add a second monitor to all-in-one using HDMI cable. All-in-one is HP Beats Special 23-n010xt, second monitor is Samsung SyncMaster S24B300, Op Sys is Windows 8.1. Both are connected with HDMI cable, but Windows is not detecting second monitor. Have also tried a new cable, no success. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Here are the specs for your HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010xt All-in-One CTO Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, this model doesn't have a video output of any kind. The HDMI port on the side is strictly an INPUT.
The HDMI input allows you to use your computer screen with a game console or video player. To connect your computer to an external display, you will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or many other adapters on the market.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi
You can't change the processor from AMD to Intel, the system board sockets dont go with each other,
You may have to change the whole board itself, moreover the processor would most probably integrated with the board.
But I think AMD processor in that laptop is quite good & it's getting good reviews

Upgrade battery for beats special edition. hp

Hello I just purchased the HP beats audio edition. I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade the battery? Also is windows 10 available for this laptop?

Well yeah in that case its preety normal , these AMD based laptops generate a lot of heat.

MSI, please stop using non-standard keyboard layouts.

God dam it MSI, why do you insist on messing with layout of the bottom row of the keyboard?
You get everything else right, but for some reason when it comes to the bottom row of keys you want to say "Industry standards? 20 years of tradition? Fack that, we're gonna move things around for no facking reason."
Explain to me why you feel the need to put a superfluous "\" key on the keyboard to the right of the space bar. Nobody wanted that, nobody was asking for that, nobody needs that. Why the hell did you do that?
Explain why the Menu key is missing in action.
Explain why you put the Windows key on the wrong side. And while you're at it, explain why you thought this clusterfack of having that second "\" key there in combination with the missing menu key being not where it is on top of the Windows key being in the wrong place was a good idea.
Bottom row of a standard keyboard layout goes like this:
Ctrl, Fn, Alt, Win, Space bar, Alt, Win, Menu, Ctrl.
MSI layout goes like.
Ctrl, Fn, Alt Space Bar, \, Alt Gr, Win, Ctrl!
WHY?!
MSI seems to think that having the keys in the right place so my fingers will know where they are without having to learn key placement all over again is a horrible idea. Instead they seem to think that my fingers should need to relearn the god dam keyboard all over again for no reason at all.
But hey, at least the kept the numpad the same, right?
GOD DAM IT MSI!
Aparantly MSI logic works like this:
Everyone uses the numpad.
Nobody uses the trackpad to game.
Delete that numpad that everyone uses, insert fancy trackpad that nobody will use.
Profit?
What the hell are you people smoking?
Seriously, when is the last time you gamed on a PC with anything other than a mouse in your right* hand? Do you ever use the trackpad when you game? Ever? I own two laptops and I never, ever use the useless trackpad. I hate trackpads. First thing I do when I buy a new laptop? I plug in a mouse. Second thing I do? Disable the god dam trackpad.
*Some left-handed use of mice can occur. See nearest lefties for details. May contain nuts. For external use only.

I had a Gateway FX years ago that was a great laptop, but the "fn" key was at the bottom left instead of ctrl. I used that laptop for years and I was never able to become accustomed to it for gaming (group select ctrl+# ffs) or word processing, so I feel your pain.
That being said, you should be able to re-bind your keys without any problem, and possibly pop off the keys themselves and move them to their new locations if they're the same size and you like that consistency. You can rebind via the registry, or certain bios, or w/ a third party application.
The track pad is essential if you've got limited space and/or aren't a twitch gamer. For non-real time games, there is hardly any advantage to using a mouse over a good track pad.

Brand new HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC , Audio not working correctly

Just bought this computer for me 9/30/14. Volume is at 100% and while there is some sound, you can barely hear it. I have checked drivers, device manager etc and nothing seems to change it. I need to know if this is a defect in the system or if there is something else I can do. I hate to think we paid all this money for the computer, one reason being the Beats audio, and have it not work. I will return it if I cannot get it working.

HP Slate 7 Beats Special Edition, no update.zip

So, I have been following this document http://support.hp.com/vn-en/document/c04342242 but i cant find the link to download the update.zip can anyone provide me with the link to download the recovery image?

The updates are ongoing, but I have run into several problems accessing HP restore files using either Android or ChromeBooks. Just tried to locate them now with a PC, and I'm getting an error. I'll report it, and hopefully it will return soon. WyreNut UPDATE: After reporting the issue to my internal HP contacts, I have been informed they are aware of the missing restore files and are "working on it". No ETA as of yet.

Hp 15-p058na (beats special edition) hard drive replacement

Hi I want to upgrade the factory hard drive with an SSD. I'm looking for the instructions to do this - can somebody point me in the right direction ? thanksB

if you put the original hard disk in can you boot to the BIOS?
Had you considered that a Hybrid disk may just not be compatible with the notebook's BIOS?
Your attempt to upgrade to an hybrid notebook drive is the first I have heard of in an HP notebook.

Edit Equipment TL using LSMW Standard Batch/Direct Method

Hello all
I have created a set of Equipment TL for around 600+ Equipments uwing LSMW method of Standard Batch/ Direct Input method (0470). While creating I found that it creates only the header of the TL and not the individual operations and Components at item level. Now that the TL have been generated I am trying to chnage the TL and insert the Operations/Components gainst respective Group and counter no, but the Change mode(0002) for Direct Input method (0470) is not available.
How can I achieve this..Tried searching some of the posts in this forum but they dont seem to be an answer for my requirement.
I do not want to go thru LSMW recording method.
Please assit with any FM or BAPI to achieve the above requirements.
Thanks
Murad

If you want to load the task list, it obvious to have three files : Header, Operations and components. - You have to maintain three strcutures for each file and you need to map three of them with some common key incase if you have multiple operations.
Goodluck
Mahee

HP 15 Special Edition p000 - How do I update the graphics card?

received this message trying to run Windows movie maker. Cannot see the video i was editing. It worked before...Can i update the graphics card online? please help link me....or do i have to buy a new card and get it installed

Hi @DP21 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a wonderful place to find answers and ideas!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see from your post that you are unable to run Windows Movie Maker 2012 as you receive an error that your graphic card only support Direct X 9.
You can run the HP Support Assistant to look for updates.
I am unsure if this is your exact model or not but here is the link to the driver page HP Beats Special Edition 15z-p000 CTO Notebook PC Drivers
As this is a CTO model I can not pull up your exact build information. If you would private message me with your serial number I will try to obtain your exact specifications. Do not post it in the public forum as it is private information and would be in violation of the rules.
Have you done all your Windows updates as Direct X is a microsoft program.
I hope this helps

Problems with using non usa keyboard (Mac OS X 10.6.7)

Hi,
I have MacBook Pro, (Mac OS X version 10.6.7), slovenian keyboard and when i type in Code View or Design View one of slovenian characters (š, č, ć , đ, ž) it is not written correctly. They are all written correctly if i for example write them in Find Window (Edit --> Find and Replace) etc. This is extremly annoying and i don't know what to do. I don't have similar problem with any of other mac programs only with macromedia ones. Any suggestions what can i do?
Thank you in advance for any answers.

Is the language (regional time zones and languages) correctly set? If not then you need to make sure it is Slovenian to matcvh your keyboard.
It is my experience that you can't mix and match the keyboards. For example, you can't use US standard Keyboard on a UK set system because the currency and date formats are all different in these two countries and so the pound sign £ and # will interefere with your work. This is just one example but I am sure there are many. The puctuation marks are all mixed up etc etc.

Can I use Standard Keyboard in Landscape/Widescreen mode?

I know there are apps that let you use a widescreen keyboard. But is there a way to use the standard keyboard that the system gives you (in Safari, Settings, etc.) in the landscape orientation? I ask this because my stepdad has huge hands and just can't use the regular keyboard at all. He loves the touch, but it's a comedy to watch him try to enter a single word; takes about 10 tries. My hands are small, and even I find the portrait-size keyboard a bit too small. The simple ability to turn the unit on its side and get a wider keyboard would be a huge win.
Anyone know of ways to alter the system or utilities to achieve this?

Thanks, yes I've seen these. Unfortunately they apply only to specific applications and not generally to the system and to applications like Safari that we use all the time. I appreciate the lead, though.

Using new wired keyboard (w/o numeric keypad) with Windows Vista

I have a 2008 Mac Pro and a Windows PC. They share the same monitor, keyboard and mouse via a KVM switch (I use the Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM Switch, model F1DG102D). My keyboard is the Apple wired keyboard with numeric keypad, which works fine with my Windows Vista PC, even with no Apple-specific Windows driver installed. My keyboard tray is pretty small, so I would like to get the new Apple wired keyboard which doesn't have a numeric keypad. I don't need the numeric keypad anyway. However, I will miss the home, end, page up, page down, and forward delete buttons. The Mac Pro has a way of simulating these keys. However, the key combinations to simulate these keys don't work in Windows Vista. My question is: how do I simulate these keys from Windows Vista? My guess is that possible options are:
1. Use some Vista keyboard mapping software. If so, any idea what might work?
OR
2. Use Apple's keyboard driver for Windows Vista (32-bit). The keyboard comes with boot camp, but I don't use boot camp (since I have a separate Windows PC). How do I go about getting a standalone Apple keyboard driver without having to install boot camp?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi randman.
I have a similar problem but it seems there is no solution. The new wired keyboard is not event working properly with BOOTCAMP. Vista doesn't recognize the keyboard as Apple keyboard and even forcing the device manager to use the Apple keyboard driver is not working.
