HP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa windows key not working

About 3 weeks after I got myHP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa 11.6" 2 in 1 - Laptop, the touch windows home key stopped working also touch keyboard vibration stopped. After looking I thought it was 8.1 so I used a recovery usb from HP no help still not working....tried shutting down with 10 second power still no joy, all drivers are upto date....anyone know how to fix it.

Hi @Jason4771  , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your WIndows home key stopped working, and the vibration has stopped on the keyboard. I have not found a specific way to disable/enable the vibration, so if you are unable to locate such a setting in your keyboard settings, I suspect you may have a hardware issue.
I recommend you contact phone support for more options:

  • Keyboard windows key not working properly

    I am not able to navigate to start screen with regular windows key press. I need to press hard to navigate to the start screen. But other functions with windows key is working properly. For Eg: Windows Key + R is working properly with regular press. Please help.

    Hello:
    I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
    I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

  • Pavilion 15-b142dx Some Keyboard keys not working

    A friend gave me their Pavilion 15-b142dx  sleekbook, apparently AFTER they spilled some type of liquid in it. I was able to revive the computer, however, there is still a problem with the keyboard.  When the keyboard is installed in the laptop, several of the keys do not work. However, when I take it out (and suspend it with some plastic) it works fine.  I have disconnected the ribbon cable, and taken some alcohol to clean up the area. I have also been able to run the HP diagnostics on bootup, both short and extended versions, and they come back ok.  Additionally, I connected an external keyboard and it worked fine. I have searched the forum for this type of question and didn't see it. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I looking at replacing the keyboard?
    I currently am running windows 8.1. I do not get any error messages, but I did notice HP does not include a keyboard key test in its diagnostics.
    This question was solved.

    Hi there @MrKen99 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that some of your keys are not working, after some liquid decided to pay an unwanted visit to the board. I am happy to assist you with this.
    In my sordid past I have seen some really messed up keyboards, due to similar things, coffee, cola, water, whatever. My most memorable was someone who brought me a computer that was used in a kitchen and was close to a deep fat fryer, and the keyboard was not only coated with oil and grease but a build up of fuzzy dust all throughout the keyboard. In that case I recommended a replacement as the cost to clean it was more expensive than a new one.
    Anyway, it sounds as if you have already tried to clean it, but if you did not pop off the offending/non-working keys, the contacts could be "tacky". Make note of the keys that are having the problem and treat them individually. This document shows how to remove and replace keys from a standard notebook keyboard.
    Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
    If you do not have any success doing that then, I would look at either replacing the keyboard, or using an external keyboard. If you choose a replacement you can look at the service manual for it, and it will list the supported parts.

  • Mod4/Super/Windows key not working. No keycode or scancode

    Like the title states my super key does not work at all. I had not used my arch install for ~one month (so no updates) but it was definitely working at that time. I recently formatted everything and started from scratch, but this time my super key does not seem to work at all. I have tried to use xev but nothing happens when either the left or right super keys are pressed. They also don't affect the output of any other keys when used together.
    I'm using a logitech g110. I installed g15daemon but it did not help. My dmesg output shows that my keyboard is detected as Gaming Keyboard G110 yet still, no working super key.

    No showkey won't work either. I noticed that "/use/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev" on my laptop, is different than the one on my desktop. Namely my desktop's version is missing the lines setting the codes for RWIN and LWIN. I'm not at my desktop currently but adding this line may be worth a try. Don't know why they would be different in the first place.

  • Audio duplicate feature on hp pavilion-1247cl notebook using windows 7 not working

    . i have a hp pavilion dv6-1247cl laptop.running on windows 7 initially i was able to use the duplicate feature-fn/f4 key to display and hear my web page on the tv screen using the hdmi cable connection. i am unsure if i have accidentally changed a setting recently on my laptop or what,but i am unable to get sound audio any longer through my tv or receiver system as before. the video from the laptop on the tv still shows fine the hdmi connection ran computer to tv then audio cable out from tv to receiver. i can get the sound to work if i connect an audio cable directly fron the hp headphone jack on my laptop into the same audio input channels in my receiver. anyone got any ideas if the laptop is on the fritz or do i just need to change some setting ps the laptop is relatively new thanks for any input ..

    Thanks for the help, but I found the program to fix it. After searching for hours. I stumbled upon this link and it finally worked and the unknown device was only my headset and the other one I just updated by making it search online for the software.

  • QuickTIme Pro Windows Key Not Working in OSX

    Is this intentional and is there a way to get a key for both if you purchased or do you have to purchase twice?

    For Qt 7 Pro key:
    Sorry the Pro keys are not cross-platform. meaning you have to buy the Pro key for different OSs.
    Except in OSX, the OSX Pro key in will work in either Panther, Tiger or Leopard. And the same with Windows different OSs.
    A Window's key won't work in OSX and OSX won't work in Windows.

  • Esc key not working in windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook. 
    Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
    Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

    Hello siddharthmishra,
    You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
    Here is a link to device manager.
    If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
    Here is a link to a System Restore.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

    Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

    Thanks for the information,
    I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
    Follow these steps to do that:
    Click the "Start Menu"
    Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
    Select "Device Manager"
    Click "Keyboards"
    Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
    Restart the computer
    How long has the button not been working?
    Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

  • Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
    This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
    Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
    I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
    Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
    The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
    Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
    Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Xardas,
    I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
    You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
    Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
    Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

    Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
    Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
    yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
    hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
    However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
    yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
    Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
    Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
    all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

  • X240 F8 Wifi function (fn) key not working

    Hi guys,
    Just wondering if you guys have the same problem with the F8 wifi switch function key not working?
    The F8 function key only works if I have the "Network" page opened on the right hand side (by clicking on the network logo on the task bar). It doesn't do anything if I just press it without that network page out.
    Is it suppose to do that?

    Hi Tomlaulau,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with Wifi on ThinkPad X240.
    This kind of issue occurs when there is error in the Power Management application. Hence we request you to check with updating the Power Management application from the drivers page.
    If your system is installed with Windows 7 OS, then you have to install both Power Management and Power Manager Application.
    Below is the link to enter the downloads page and install exact Power Management application accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.
