HP Pavillion dv3: Volume Icon on keyboard doesn't turn on when touched

Hi guys!
I have an HP Pavillion dv3 notebook and it has touch sensitive volume and wifi controls at the top of the keyboard. when you touch it and it turns blue, then it's on, when you touch it and it turns red, then its off.
recently though, the volume control on my keyboard has been red, and even when I click it it's still red. it doesn't turn on. I checked the volumes on the screen and they're all alright, the sound card is fin, only problem is the volume button on the top of my keyboard doesn't turn on.
how do I fix this? I can't hear any sounds because of this.
thanks. God bless

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Lr adjustments doesn´t turn up when editing in Ps?

    Lr adjustments doesn´t turn up when editing in Ps. I can see there´s many others who experience the same problem right now. Anybody who knows a solution or is it some bug with the latest update of Ps?

    I think the answer to your "how long for the fix?" question will very much depend on a couple of things really:
    1. The time taken in finding the problem and working up and testing a fix.
    2. Where the problem lies. If it's a Lightroom problem, then in reality you'll be looking at the next dot release (5.4) at the earliest. Typically these are released every 3 months or so, which means another 6 weeks or so if normal scheduling is adhered to, and that would be assuming any fix could be incorporated in time. However, if the problem lies within PS I guess an earlier fix may be possible as I believe the CC model allows for updates to be shipped more frequently than in the past.
    But all that is mere speculation on my part....and at the moment I've seen no official word from Adobe that the problem has been acknowledged.
    Sorry, would like to be able to offer more positive news.....

  • New ipod touch doesn't turn on when plugged in

    i just bought my ipod touch yesterday. when i plugged it into my imac using the usb cable, it doesn't turn on to show that it's charging like my nano does when it's turned off. i had to turn the touch on before i could see the huge green battery icon. is there something wrong with my ipod touch? i read on other forums that it should 'turn on' to show the battery icon charging when i plug in an ipod that's turned off. i can't find any answers to my question elsewhere.
    please help! thanks so much!

    Try after being connected to a charging source for at least an hour:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Music button doesn't open up when touched

    When you touch the music button my daughter's iPod touch, it doesn't open up so she can't listen to music.  All of the other buttons/apps seem to work, just got done syncing the device and checking for updates, but the music button still doesn't open up when you touch it.  Any solutions?

    If that reset is not successful then:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Macbook keyboard backlight auto turn-on when room is dark?

    I have a late 2013 13" Retina Macbook Pro (running Mavericks) and am a relatively new OSX user. I know that I can modify keyboard backlight settings and have the brightness level adjust automatically (similar to how the screen brightness adjusts) however I don't actually want the keyboard's backlight on when the room is light. The fact that the auto-adjust setting makes the keyboard brighter in a light room is annoying to me.
    Is there any way to have the backlight automatically turn on ONLY when the room is BELOW a certain brightness threshold. Perhaps there is a 3rd party app that can add this functionality? Manually pressing F5 and F6 works fine, but ideally I'd like to have this automated somehow.
    Thanks!

    Billy_budd,   Unfortunately it's not even that things are finicky for me. I haven't experienced any auto-turnon functionality at all. Are you running Mavericks? I've seen some older posts referring to this being a possibility. Is there a specific way you've enabled this option? I don't see anything in my settings.
    If I select the tickbox I've highlighted in the screenshot below, the brightness of the keyboard mimicks the auto-audjust behaviour of the screen's backlight. With it unchecked, I have to use F5 or F6 to see any keyboard brightness changes. I haven't experienced the keyboard automatically turning on when the lights turn off.

  • Nano hangs on apple icon when turning on. After several restarts, still will not go past Apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize Nano when plugged in.

    I tried to connect iPod Nano this morning to sync Podcasts. Keep getting error that device not found.
    Restarted Nano and the screen hangs on the Apple icon & doesn't progress.
    I restarted one time and looks like I got into a diagnostics program.
    Tried to restart while plugged into computer, still doesn't go past Apple icon.
    Any idea on how to get Nano to come up fully and connect to computer via iTunes?

  • Volume button on iphone doesn't turn down

    my iphone volume button doesnt turn down, it just automatically raises the volume again ? help

    This is hardware problem, but to just make certain it is not software related, Restore iPhone with iTunes 10.7 on computer. See if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • My MacBook Pro screen doesn't turn on when I the open lid.

    So I bought my 13inch MacBook Pro Retina two weeks ago. 70% of the time when opening the lid the screen will not turn on but my keyboard backlight will. I then have to either close the lid and open again or press the power to put the system to sleep and wake again. It seems the system is working fine just not the screen.
    I have tried the SMC and PRAM reset which seemed to work for half of the day, now the problem is back.
    Has anybody got a solution for this or are in fact experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks

    You've 90 days of free phone support from date of purchase and - at least - a one year warranty on the computer (free phone support and warranty for three years if you purchased AppleCare). The behavior that you're experiencing is not normal - if I were you, I would get on the phone to Apple and have them make you a 'genius bar' appointment.
    Good luck,

  • Oil Paint Filter Doesn't Turn Out

    I'm using the oil paint filter and for some reason it doesn't turn out when I use it. It doesn't seem to be an issue for very very small sized images, if I make the photo smaller it will work just fine. However, for any regular sized images I get this result below. I just got a new computer, so i'm not sure what the issue could be? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it

  • My fingerprint reader on my pavillion dv3 4050ea doesn't work

    I formated my pavillion dv3 4050ea windows 7 64 bit starter notebook and somehow forgot to back up the swsetup files i installed windows 7 professional 64 bit and my finger print reader doesn't work again, i've installed and unistalled almost every validity sensor software i've seen but it still doesn't work. I even downloaded from therecommended one from the action centre to no avail. Can someone please help me locate the right driver so i can activate my finger print driver. Thanks

    If you had done a factory image recovery it would have been simpler for you. All drivers were available in the Recovery Manager.
    Power button -->tap the Esc key and in the Startup menu select F10  for BIOS Setup. In the BIOS, go to the System Configuration tab and look for the validity sensor enable/disable to see how it is set. You will need to have it enabled for it to work. 
    You will also need to download, install and enroll your fingerprints in the SimplePass Indentity Protection software. available at the web support portal for your notebook.
