HP Pavilion dv7-3080us Quick Launch Buttons Fail

Hi,
I own an HP Pavilion dv7-3080us Entertainment Notebook PC, and this month my quick launch buttons that are on top of the keyboard (volume, mute, playback) stopped working. The playback and volume buttons are still lighten but the mute button disappeared.
Is there anyway to fix it without taking it back to HP?
Thanks for now!

Hi,
You're welcome and I'm glad it helped

Dv7-1130us - Quick Launch buttons not working - though they light up correctly

I'm trying to enable wifi, though the quick launch buttons are no longer working. They used to work, though I've had my laptop repaired at the service center (to replace the keyboard), and I also immediately upgraded to windows 7 once my laptop was returned.
I've done a hard reset, upgraded the bios, and upgraded the quick launch button drivers, though nothing is working. When windows boots, the wifi image on the quick launch bar transitions correctly as it has always done (blue to orange - since I had I usually had it disabled before I sent it in for repair and upgraded).
Is there a way I can enable the wifi card without having to use the quick launch buttons? The wifi card has always functioned correctly when it was enabled, and it's working properly according to the device manager. I just need to either find a way to enable it without using the quick action bar, or get the quick action bar working.
Any suggestions? I'd rather not send it back in for repair, it's a lengthy process.
This question was solved.

Pavilion DV7 Quick Launch Buttons Problem

Dear all,
I have a new laptop Pavilion DV7. It comes with Vista Home Premium.
After updated to Vista SP2, the sound volume bar pop up on the screen ramdomly ( abnormal stepping up or down with click sound) ( I am not sure have it happen before update? Since, I do not check it detail before )
It happens at irregular time. It annoys me so much. Because it is my new laptop which taken on last Firday (23/10) and find the problem on Saturaday(24/10).
I have contact with HP technical center. However, it just on holiday and re-open on the coming Tuesday.
I am so unhappy and no more to use right now.
Besides, there are also no respond when I touched another Quick launch buttons.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks
tlee

Hello all,
I would like to report my updated news.
Since, HP service center did not give me call until the second day after I left my DV7 there.
Therefore, I phone to them actively. One guy reply me that they accepted my new dv7 has hardware problem. They will arrange to replace a new one to me (since, my notebook is suffer problem within 7 days after purchased).
However, the guy has not replied me when I can take the new one. She just told me to wait.
I'm afraid HP guy told a lie again............. As for my previous post content about my experience ( pointing out wrong decision to choose HP product), HP people is not honest.
I think it is the HP mission right now : ( and the executives of HP seem to turn a blind eye.
Besides, I am still monitoring another threads of this HP forum. And find that the HP product tends to worse. It is not only hardware issue, but also the software driver issue.
And the interesting thing when I talked with HP technical center people. He already told me their drivers are no problem. He aways said it is Microsoft problem and want to misleading me go to contact Microsoft.
Alternative, you may find HP's competitor is willing to enhance their product compatibility with Microsoft Windows to become more reliable.

Thanks alot !

Faulty Quick Launch Buttons on my Pavilion dv9854ca notebook...

I recently had to reformat my laptop after the hard disk failed to boot properly, and I had to reinstall Windows, and all the drivers and software I used before. I installed the HP Quick Launch Buttons driver, and so far all of them (Play/Pause, Stop, Volume etc...I didn't install Quickplay because I don't need it) have been working properly except for the "mute" button, something I just noticed. Every time I tap it, it will toggle to the other setting for a millisecond then switch back to what it was before, i.e. if there is sound, and I want to mute sound, I tap the button, and it will flash orange (signalling mute) for a brief moment before going back to blue (signalling sound), and vice versa. Before I reformatted, if I wanted to mute or unmute, I tapped it and it would toggle to the other setting without switching back.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem or know how to deal with it? It's nothing major but is a bit of a pain to have to click the windows volume settings...
Thanks!

You need to install sound driver to fix the mute issue.
Which OS are you using? if it is vista you can find it here

Sound quick launch button doesn't work when i installed windows 8 in my hp pavilion dv3z notebook

1. Product Name and Number

3. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
installed windows 8
when i installed windows 8 in my hp pavilion dv3z notebook pc, the quick launch button of volume is always red and the sound is mute....the driver for quick launch buttons and driver for sound is also up to date....can you please help me?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When installing the audio driver, was it installed by following the prompts or in compatibility mode as outlined here?
Based on the Software and Drivers page for this unit, the unit was not tested and certified for Windows 8. This means that some functionality may not be the same since the unit was not designed for Windows 8. See this site for information and to find out if it has been tested for Windows 8.
If the sound driver has not been installed in compatibility mode, then I recommend using the Windows 7 64bit driver found here and using the linked steps above to install it in compatibility mode.
Let me know what happens.

DV7-1279WM microphone and quick launch buttons stopped working

For some reason my quick launch buttons and microphone have stopped working on my DV7 laptop. I know that I recently used the microphone on a Skype call, but believe since that time that Vista SP2 was installed. I am not sure when the quick launch buttons were not working, but have just literally (talking less than a week ago) got the laptop back from HP for a warranty issue with the display. A strange thing I noticed is that if i look under the settings in Skype, the microphone will record a level for a split second, but then go back to nothing again (someone I was trying to talk to said they could hear me for a second).
I thought it might be the same problems as in the 35 page thread on here, but I have sound, its only the microphone and quick launch buttons that are not working. So far I have rolled back, installed and updated sound drivers, BIOS and Quick Launch software, but no luck.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

Quick Launch Buttons not working on dv7-3085dx

Hello HP world.
I am having a problem that I cant fix it myself and it is driving me crazy.
I am very techy and usually always find a solution to any problem but this one got both of my feet locked.
My Quick Launch Buttons on my DV7-3085dx Running Win7 64-bit.
Are not working. They were working fine since forever until 2 weeks ago I noticed the mute and wireless buttons remained red non stop? and they were not functionable. Almost as if they lost connection to the notebook.
This is what i have tried so far:
- Hard reset (after i did this the red mute button and wireless went off, now only volume and media controls are on, still useless)
- Updating the QuickLaunch Buttons Driver
- Updating the BIOS
- Reinstalling MediaSmart
- New Chipset Driver
- Installing latest IDT driver
- probably other drivers and such which i cant remember but its been over a week that i have been reading online and it came down to this.
I surrender!
Please help me.
Thank you in advance.

The buttons are still not functioning. I just get the audio and player controls lid up but thats it.
They dont work and are useless.
HELP
If they're not working after performing the System Recovery then it's a hardware problem. Could a loose or damaged cable or circuit board.

Volume and Media Quick launch buttons not working Pavilion DV4 1100EA

Hi,
I recently had to replace my hard disk and reinstall windows 7 (32bit) from scratch. I have loaded HP Quick launch driver V6.50.12.1 (2009-12-09, latetest on website) but have the following issues:
Media Quick Launch button does nothing (despite media programs been installed)
Volume slider button does not provide the previous clicking and volume bar on the screen when being used. (I have checked that the sound is enabled in the Bios).
I have uninstalled the Driver and reinstalled it several times, but it does not fix the issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dave

Hi,
QuickPlay will not work under Windows 7 ( it was the option for Vista ) and was replaced by the MediaSmart software option.
If the media button you refer to has a Q rather than an M, there is an alteration you can make to the registry that will allow you to launch SmartMenu from this button.
The key is located at:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\HP Quick Launch Buttons
Modify the path for:
QAction
To:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP MediaSmart\SmartMenu.exe

Windows 7 RTM drivers for sound control buttons and quick launch buttons on TX2

In the past two days this forum has helped me find several drivers for the TX2-1027CA tablet. Now I'd like to try to get two more - and I expect this will be more difficult to find, but here goes....
Is there a driver for the sound buttons (sound down, sound up, and mute) on the body of the tablet? Currently, with no driver, it has no effect to push them.
Is there a driver for the quick launch buttons (mediasmart, screen orientation, and so on) on the screen of the tablet? Pushing these also has no effect. Even better would be drivers that allow me to assign my own program choices, but I'll settle for the basic original functions.
Looking forward to any links as this software appears!

Hi Daniel. You seem to know what you're talking about, so perhaps you can help me. I bought my Pavilion dv7-1260us a mere 5 weeks before HP began offering its Windows 7 upgrade offer. Consequently, I had to purchase a retail version to upgrade. Now, I cannot reinstall the original programs and features my laptop came with (specifically, the MediaSmart soft-touch button above my keyboard will not work, and I've lost the Cyberlink DVD Suite 6 program entirely).
Do you happen to know how I may reinstall the Cyberlink DVD Suite 6 program and get my MediaSmart soft-touch key to work again? No one at HP Customer Care (including their Case Managers) can help. When I contacted Cyberlink, they told me I had to contact HP (vicious circle there), OR I have to purchase the program ($120 I don't have). I bought my laptop for school, and had to upgrade to Windows 7 because Vista Home Premium kept crashing (usually right in the middle of an online exam).
I would really like to have ALL of the programs and features working properly, but HP Customer Care will not help me unless I revert back to the unstable Vista Home Premium.
I greatly appreciate your assistance and hope you have a solution for me.
Sincerely,
Michael Walker

Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

I have several problems that I think are related.
1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
pen input
touch input
Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
it thinks another screen is active or
the touch components are completely non functional.
4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
Not all of them resulted in a clean install.
Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
AMD AHCI - started catalyst installer then failed
Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
TIA

[knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling). Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.

HP Quick Launch buttons incompatibility Windows 8.1 / Unable to Launch IE 11 and my yahoo home page

I have an HP Envy dv6 notebook PC Product # C2L31UA #ABA. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 several weeks ago and everything seemed to be working fine. About 3 weeks ago I started having problems with "internet Explorer stopped working" happening all the time. I also seem to have problems with installing updates from HP with failed updates then these problems start occuring. 4 days ago I was unable to launch IE 11 on my desktop or myyahoo home page. IE 11 is not working on my desktop or from the tile on Windows for Internet Explorer. I am able to use google and have been trying to search for solutions. I did find out from a scan that HP Quick Launch buttons are incompatible with Windows 8.1. I thouhgt this might be the problems. I have tried to remove it unsuccessfully. I have spent 4 days trying to fix my computer with no results. I thought I had uninstalled HP quick launch buttons late last night and I did briefly get my desktop to launch last night at 1 AM. However this morning It is not working again and the HP button is still on my computer. Not sure if this is what is causing all of these problems ? I also tried doing a system restore and it failed also. Can someone tell me what I should do? Thanks so much! I am not very computer savy so I am getting very frustrated.

Hello @luvpatch,
I understand that you are not able to use the HP Quick Launch buttons after upgrading to Windows 8.1, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
The first step I recommend is to completely remove HP Quick Launch from your system by using this Microsoft Fixit tool: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled. Once the program is removed, please restart your computer.
To further diagnose Internet Explorer on your system, I recommend following Resolving issues in Internet Explorer (Windows 8), as well as Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8). This should help to re-establish a consistent connection between your notebook and wireless network.
If the issue continues, I recommend performing a backup and refresh back to when Windows 8 was still installed on your system. To do this, I recommend following this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
