HP Pavilion dv6-2114sa keyboard problems

The keyboard for my laptop has been acting very wierdly. Most of the keys work fine but some ofthem do not bring up what they're supposed to.
For example, when I press the 'b' key, it brings up 'bgtv' and when I press the 'y' key, it brings up 'nhy'
I am falling behind with my university work because it takes me far too long to write with the on-screen keyboard so please help

99% of the time keyboard problems are caused by a worn and/or dirty keyboard.
The only solution is to replace the keyboard.

Above are just some examples, HP made silver, black, copper etc colours.
Consider a wireless or wired USB keyboard if you're not inclined to replace your own. Usually it's cheaper to by an external one then it is to pay a shop to do it.
If you want I can help you to track down the correct one and install it.

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.
My laptop's Stats are:

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

Hp pavilion dv6-1355dx USB Problem.

Hello,
I have an hp pavilion dv6-1355dx laptop computer. Recently my HDD crashed and i replaced it with a new one reinstalling Windows 7 64bit. Everything works great, besides my USB's. None of my USB ports work, and in my System devices > Universal Serial Bus Controllers it shows the yellow exclamation point under the multiple "Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller -####". I understand the USB support is based in the Chipset software and I have reinstalled this multiple times. This computer is running a T6600 Intel Core 2 Duo with Intel Series 4 Express Chipset. I have also tried to update driver software within device manager and it tells me my driver software is up to date. Does anyone have any insight about this? Below is a screencap of device manager.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, all! I might be bringing up a pretty old topic, but I've registered on this forum, because I've encountered similar problem. I googled and found quite a few people with the same question, some of them on this very forum as well.
The solution provided here didnt work for me, and it took me a few hours to figure out why my controllers kept returning code 37. All usb ports were working fine up until i started updating windows 7 x64 drivers for the dv6-1326ss, downloading them from the official page. The reason why the problem occured was the accidantly installed AMD USB filter driver, so i followed the steps described here, manually deleted all the troubled lines in the divice manager, and rebooted. After the reboot, all of the drivers have succesfully installed from the windows update center, but something tells me, that reinstalling chipset driver would work just as well. Hope that helps somebody.

Hp pavilion dv6 RAM usage problem ?

Hi last week got my new Hp pavilion dv6 notebook with 8gb RAM installed. But windows 7 shows only 2gb as usable and doesn't use all the 8gb installed. I have replaced the company installed windows 7 with my legal 32bit version of win 7.
Pls help me out of this.
Thanks on advance.....

Hi,
Check the following.
Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook and check in the bios if 8Gb of Ram is showing here. If it is, but just not showing in Windows, check the following after windows has loaded.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run Box type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab and then click Advanced Options. If there is a tick in the box next to 'Maximum Memory', click to remove it, click OK and click Apply on the System Configuration window. Restart the notebook.

Pavilion dv6-6173cl keyboard design problem!

The funcion F1,F2,...F12 are used only when 'Fn' key is pressed, those frecuently used keys should be accesible directly without need of the Fn key!
This question was solved.

Hi DanielVega
Please boot into the BIOS by pressing F10
In System Configuration change the "action keys mode" this will revert the settings

HP Pavilion 15 notebook : keyboard problem

hi,
Product Name:HP Pavilion 15 notebook
Operating system: windows 8
I am having trouble with my laptop's keyboard. It started as a problem with both the Shift keys i.e. whenever I clicked on it , the keyboard typed either 'z' or 'q' or 'zx' or 'qw'. Then after doing some surfing on the net , I tried some solutions but it resulted in the disabling of keys '1', 'w', 's' and 'x' instead of Shift keys. Shift keys are working perfectly now.I also tried uninstalling the drive but when I restart, the drive automatically comes back along with the problem. Its just been seven months since i bought the laptop, its still under Warranty but it would be helpful if an easier solution came along the way.

Hi,
First do a Hard Reset and check..it has fixed similar issue many times..
Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
If problem still continues then follow the instructions below:
Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

HP Pavilion g6-1219sv keyboard problem - kb types numbers and letters concurrently!

Hi. I have a problem with my notebook HP Pavilion g6-1219sv (product: A1Q32EA#B1A).
After of 1,5 year of correct functionality, the keyboard started a strange behavior:
1) When I press a letter button, the keyboard prints a letter + a number. For instance, if I type the letter 'q', then appears in the monitor the string "q3". So, if I want to write "Hello" it will be written as "H3e3l2l2o" in the output.
2) The up-down arrows keys seems like to be stucked (when i press the down arrow key, it's like the up arrow key is stucked somehow and i cant go down).
I thought that maybe there is a problem in Windows (any update, a faulty program, a virus) but the same behavior exists even in the HP Advanced System Diagnostics v3.7.1.0 when I pressing the F2 key at the start of booting (I can't go down to the list to select for example "BIOS Management")...
How can i fix that problem? Where do you think this problem is due?
Thanks

That is the support from Hewlett Packard for its customers?? No one cares?
Terrible support, I am totally dissapointed.
I will NEVER buy any HP device again.

Hp pavilion dv7-4273us keyboard problem

On my HP Pavilion DV7-4273us and has Win7 Home Pre, my keyboard has turned into one big shortcut board. While typing if I press "E" My Computer pops up, Space bar all windows close as if in peek mode, "L" locks the computer, ect... I have used Windows Update to see if the driver was out of date, Device Manager and uninstaled it and reinstalled it, looked through the Ease of Access but nothing seems to be working. If I restart it might work fine for 2 minutes or so. What can I do?

Went to another computer and opened Ease of Access Center and looked at every check box and did the same and worked for a little bit than back to where it was. I think I have narrowed it down to the windows key.

Pavilion dv7 (new) Keyboard Problems

3/15/11 I have a brand new dv7-4287, purchased thru Sam's Club. It is less than ten days old, and am having ALL of the same problems many others have described: spacebar is the WORST, but shift keys and other keys do it sporadically, too. Spent 1hr with a very helpful Tech Support guy last night, uninstalling BIOS and Touchpad drivers, then dowloading and reinstalling new drivers for both. T.S. guy was awesome, not his fault, but the reinstalls did NOT solve my problems at all. Spacebar seems to have big "dead" areas where no matter how many times I strike it, it won't advance the cursor. Other areas it works pretty well. My right shift key only works if I am very careful to hold it down for a second before typing the letter that I want in Caps. The left shift key works, then doesn't work, then works..... on and off. Some other keys work with very little stroke pressure, and some need to be hit hard. What is annoying is that in this $1,1000 computer there is NO consistency to the keyboard and touchpad problems. The store demo seemed to work fine, but maybe I didn't really give it a thorough test and would have noticed if I had typed more and cruised around Win7 less. This is definitely a mechanical issue, not a software driver issue. What are my options, other than to return it for another one or a refund? Also am wondering how long it will be before my keys start to wear and become unreadable as others have mentioned, or just fall off altogether. REALLY disappointed in HP quality out of the box.

Hi,
You may return it to the shop and ask for a refund.

HP Pavilion DV6-1253cl Fan problems.

I bought a used DV6-1253cl laptop recently and it's in great condition. I installed windows 7 on it, installed the graphics drivers, and everything works great. But when I play games on it, the GPU temps soar. Here's a pic of the temps I'm getting;
Here is an audio clip of what the fan sound like (Turn up the volume) http://www.filedropper.com/fan_1
For those of you who have problems downloading the audio clip, or are just paranoid, I'll decribe it for you;
Fan starts up for 2 seconds... 5 seconds of silence... repeat.

Sorry to bump but the problem still persists. The only fan shown on the system is GPU Fan, and it doesn't give me RPM's.. simply xx%. It goes from 30% to 100% from what I can tell. And before you ask, no. As far as I can tell the fan speed doesn't change when the fan is revving, it stays at 100% (or so it says).

Hello,
I see that you want to know how to do a system restore in Win8. Now, you can follow this document which shows you how to do a system restore in Windows 8.
You will need to open the document and go down to the section that says "Restore your computer when Windows 8 cannot start normally."
This document will show you how to access the restore option without booting into windows.
Now, if you have any more questions please let me know. Also, let me know the outcome to this.
