HP Pavilion F6/Mute Key Light-Now not working?

Hi,
Just over a week ago I went out and got myself a HP Pavilion 15-e092ea laptop.
It's a brilliant machine and I'm really pleased with it however there is just one small thing that has sprung up.
As I'm sure many of you will know, Pavilion series laptops have a handy mute key which doubles as the F6 key. On that key is a small LED which illuminates when pressed to show that the computer is muted.  Up until yesterday that light was working fine until something came up on the screen mentioning a BIOS update. I went ahead with the update and everything seemed fine. I then discovered that the LED wasn't illuminated when I used the key to mute the computer.
I've tried reinstalling audio drivers and restarting the computer a few times after reading some information on forums but nothing is working. The key still works perfectly but considering the computer is pretty new I would like to just sort the problem out. I would take it to a repair place but it's too minor and the pricing would not be fair in the slightest.
The Caps Lock, Power Button and Wireless/Flight Mode LED lights work, it's just that Mute Key one that will not illuminate. As I've said, it's a minor thing but I would be nice just to have it working again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 if that is of any help.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? Could the BIOS update have affected it at all?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello joshy6001,
The BIOS update could most likely have caused the light to stop working, as this was the last thing done prior to the light not working. I would suggest restoring your BIOS back to the previous version to make sure. I have included the document 'Restoring the BIOS'. Please follow through the steps in order, and let me know if the light comes back on after the restore.
Thank you.

    i have a hp pavilion g6 4GB  i3 core 64 bit windows . i think the warrenty has expired as it is a refurbished laptop

    Hello momomhammed:
    I think you forgot to type in HP g6 1239as because I could not find HP g6 123sa. This is the only steps they give for your lat top. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01458194&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc​... I would do the reset direction first then do the update drives for it. To see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't then yout computer needs repairing. frrw.

  • CAPS LOCK light is not working

    Hello dear guys, 
    Had a problem today - some keyboard keys didn't work properly. 
    I opened the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) cover and saw that keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected it properly, closed the cover and switched laptop on. Now, all  keys are working fine, BUT CAps Lock light is not working well. Key is functioning, but when I press it - the light come on, but as soon as I release the key - the light goes off. Light doesn't stay. Also when the actual function of caps lock is on, when I press any other key the light come on the surface of Caps lock key but it is dim. 
    I recheched keyboard cable again - all is fine, but Caps lock light doesn't stay on when pressed. 
    I do practice typing for the last 3 months for few hours each day, so I guess it also affects the life span of my keyboard.
    Would appreciate any insights about this Caps Lock light. Many thanks, Vit

    Hi there @vitsirius 
    I understand that the Caps Lock LED is not working, after you had fixed a loose connection to your keyboard.
    You may want to walk through this page and see if something may help

    Also for your convenience here is the maintenance guide. It is possible when you were working on it one of the of the other connections was loose or became so.

  • Appended Key figure is not working in Delta reverse record

    Dear All,
    I have enhanced 2LIS_11_VASCL datasource, to pull value from condition record, called Surchage.
    I have set reversal indicator for this field in my datasource. I have written code in CMOD to get this value from KONV table of that sales order.
    Now when value  is changed, delta record for this, automatically creates reversal record, but it shows new value of surcharge as negative, because that code is pulling value which currently exists in table.
    For example for order 350089 , if surchage is $ 100 .  User changes it to $200
    Then I get following record.
    Reversal Record  - $200 (This should be instead -$100 , i.e. previous value)
    New Record - $100.
    Because of this my new value is not getting updated in table.
    I can't use overwrite mode in ODS because some other technical reason.
    How can I solve this problem?
    appended Key figure is not working in Delta reverse record

    LIS have before-after delta. So ODS should be in Overwrite mode. If that is not possible.. try sorting the records in Start Routine such way that the - 100 $ is above the - 200 $ records in Data Package.
    but this is risky as it will affect other key figures for which things maybe fine. I guess you need take Data Package records in an internal table. And then sort this internal table. then you can read the internal table in update routine of this key figure.
    OR (If you are on BI 7.0) you introduce an InfoSource in between DS and DSO with Overwrite mode for this Key Figure.

  • Home Keys on Laptop not working sometimes

    Good Day,
    Our HP Pavilion G4-2013TX's keyboard acts up sometimes. The Home keys (i.e., A S D F J K L and semi colon) keys sometimes do not work. I just have to wait a bit or furiously press them to get them to work again.
    The keys are working currently (this message is evidence.) I don't know how to invoke the error at the moment.
    Please help. I've been getting instances that I need to have a good working keyboard but the homekeys don't cooperate. A Sort of troll, actually.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

  • NVIDIA Tools now not working with PS CC, is there any other add-on besides NVIDIA that will open .DDS files in photoshop?

    I had no problems with CS6 PS, but since I upgraded to PS CC, NVIDIA Tools is now not working and crashes when I try to reinstall the plug-in into PS CC. I checked NVIDIA's forums and found ZIP from them about this problem. So I am asking in here, is there another plug-in that will open .DDS files in PS? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for the OS, and I know the PS CC is 32 bit. Until I can resolve this issue, I am unable to do repaints of PMDG aircraft for my VA. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had a similar issue but i solved it following the instructions explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … l.2FNVIDIA.
    I also reccomend you to install the bbswitch package which disables NVIDIA discrete graphics card when isn't used.

  • Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

    Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    You will need to install the printer on your Mac
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right
    Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
    You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.
