My pavilion 14 touchsmart b157tu sleekbook with windows 8.1 has a keyboard problem

Hi there,
                The keyboard of my Hp Pavilion 14 touchsmart b 157 TU sleekbook is functioning erratically when I type the letter 't' using the keyboard.Sometimes it gets typed continuously like this,"ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt" or else the key does not respond at all.And at times it just does as it is meant to be.Please Help.

Hi Prajeesh,
I see that you are having some problems with the “t” key on your keyboard. I will be happy to help you with this. Here is an HP support document Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting and that has a couple of sections that could help: Pressing key does nothing and Stuck notebook key. Give the troubleshooting steps there a try and let me know how it goes.

    Hello I have problems with my HP TouchSmart iq512sc error with windows 7 SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 5.1 surround sound receiver conete SPDIF after update from vista 64 bit to windows 7 began this problem
    only nomal audio but no support from the surround sound of 5.1 channel SPDIF what the error may attend
    I hope you can help me
    Sincerely,
    Steve

    maybe your spdif default properties, in the supported format tab, options there are configured too high for your revceiver???
    is there an error code on your receiver?  if there is an error code check the troubleshooting section in the manual your receiver came with.
    you could also try in windows media center, go to the tasks->settings and click windows media center setup->setup your speakers for 5.1 and hit the test button..

  • HP Pavilion 15t-n200 Notebook PC with Windows 7

    Several days ago, the HP Pavilion 15t-n200 Notebook PC with Windows 7 was listed on your website with an 'after savings' price of $599 which included a free upgrade from the 8G RAM to 12G Ram. No additional software, etc. The only reason I didn't purchase it then is because I was waiting for funds to clear as I buy all our equipment on a cash-only basis.
    Today, your Labor Day 'Sale' is showing the same laptop with an 'after savings' price $549, however the upgrade to the 12G Ram is now $75. I've been an HP buyer for the last 10 years, but this seems more like an illusion of a sale than an actual sale for the same exact specs.
    Can someone please explain??  
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm sorry, this is not an acceptable answer.  I've been watching this laptop for nearly 3 weeks and as I mentioned, I've been buying HP products for 10 years.
    HP lowers the price by $50 on the front end for a "Sale", but then removes the free RAM upgrade.  So, the laptop with the exact same specs are now $25 more than before the sale.  
    Most people probably wouldn't notice the small change from a free upgrade to an upgrade that now costs $75, but I did. That isn't a sale.  That is very deceptive marketing, specifically since HP is promoting this product as part of its Labor Day Sale.

  • Crystal Reports kicks me out with a crw32.exe has encountered a problem ...

    I have not been successful in getting Crystal Reports XI Rel 2 to work for me, except for one very simple report that accesses one table and simply prints out all fields.  When I try to link tables and do something more complicated, it kicks me out with a 'crw32.exe has encountered a problems and needs to close error'.
    I am running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP3 and using the CR Informix ODBC Driver 5.3 to access data from an Informix DB.

    I downloaded and was able to write a report off the Access test DB.  So - I went back and connected to Informix, wrote a report that connected 6 tables and now I get a syntax error (it has not kicked me out yet, though!).  I get -201 error with no explanation.  Here is the sql generated by CR:
    SELECT pallet.pallet_id, item.category_id, item.sub_category_id, category.description, sub_category.description, item.quantity, item.std_cost, sub_category.default_recovery_pct, carton.status, pallet.status, location.location
    FROM   arc:informix.category category, arc:informix.sub_category sub_category, arc:informix.item item, arc:informix.carton carton, arc:informix.pallet pallet,  OUTER arc:informix.location location
    WHERE  (category.row_key=sub_category.category_key) AND ((category.category_id=item.category_id) AND (sub_category.sub_category_id=item.sub_category_id)) AND (item.carton_key=carton.row_key) AND (carton.pallet_key=pallet.row_key) AND (pallet.location_key=location.row_key) AND category.description<>'Dump' AND (carton.status='CLOS' OR carton.status='PALT') AND (pallet.status='DOCK' OR pallet.status='PUTA')
    ORDER BY pallet.pallet_id, item.category_id, item.sub_category_id, category.description, sub_category.description
    I don't see a problem with it.  Any other suggestions?  Do you think the CR has a problem with a table called 'Item' since that is a reserved word?

  • I cannot use itunes with windows 7. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that a 32 bit xp version was loaded on my machine. I can't uninstall it and the 64 bit version will not install.

  • X240 with windows 8.1 has ".exe bad image virus"

    Hi, All,
      my X240 with windows 8.1 had this ".exe bad image" error messages for couple weeks. it keeps showing up when I want to open program or start up the machine.  I googled online, it is said this is a malware or virus. but I have not found an tool to remove it under windows 8.1. do you guys have any idea?
    regards,
    t.z.

    As long as this is a self-diagnosis after your AV was turned off, it might be good if you post on a dedicated security site that can advivse you on running some diagnostic tools and does malware removal if necessary. This forum is not set up for that.
    I suggest posting the required DDS logs on the Malware Removal Forum at SpywareHammer or another site with trained analysts and have a malware removal staff member walk you through the diagnostic logs and a cleanup. They do not use remote access but will advise you step-by-step on what you can do. Please do not attempt to run any additional scans, install software, or use any other tools until an analyst can advise you on the next step. Please use the same username there as you have here. Help is free. There are no advertisements or trackers on SpywareHammer as some of the other security forums have, but you will need to register at SpywareHammer and follow the posting instructions for downloading DDS and posting your logs.

  • Twist S230u with Windows 8 continues to have innumerable problems

    First - let me tell all the readers that Lenovo Twistpad with Windows 8 is a marriage gone seriously wrong. The usability of this laptop/notebook is so bad that it horribly affects my productivity. The touch is almost useless and many many other issues. 
    However, the issue at hand that need to solve urgently are two 
    1) The search panel slides right in when I am typing regularly and the search field grabs the focus obstructing my work.  This happens only on certain keystrokes. Praticularly with keys like 'i' 'o' '9' , '0' etc. I am not able to figure out why this happens and how to stop it. I have restarted my computer several time but could not help it. 
    Please help me with this issue. It is so serious that cannot even type a url in the browser url bar in a simple manner, I have to hit escape multiple times or manullay bring the cursor using the mouse after every few letters I type. 
    2) Many a time, the screen shows the caps lock on or off icon depending on it's state. It doesn't disappear then until I restart my computer. It obstructs normal reading. 
    Gosh.. I am sick and tired of this computer. Please help. 

    You need Windows 8 Pro 64 bit to get Hyper-V.

  • I have a Pavilion 25bw screen. not compatible with window 8.1

    I have been trying to upgrade to windows 8.1 from 8.0 64 bit 
    Everytime I do, I get a flashing screen.   Finally after a year of problems
    a windows tech figured out that the drivers for this screen are not compatible and that HP does not have an upgrade that
    would be compatible.  
    Windows techs tell me that windows 10.0 will be coming out soon and that I need to upgrade to 8.1 in order to upgrade to 10.0 for free.   I can't do that when my screen keeps flashing, so I can't operate the computer in order to upgrade to 10.0
    I guess I could try a new monitor but what are the chances that one will work.   Am getting a little frustrated with this whole deal.

    Hello @rjay2000,
    I understand that you are having issues with the screen on your HP Pavilion 25bw Monitor flashing when you upgrade to Windows 8.1 and you believe it is the monitors drivers that are causing the issue. I am providing you with the HP Pavilion 25bw 25-inch Diagonal IPS LED Backlit Monitor Drivers, which has drivers for your monitor on a computer running Windows 8.1.
    I recommend that you download and install these drivers as if it is your monitor that is the cause of your issue this will fix it for you.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Touchsmart IQ8461 michrophone with windows 8.1 not working

    Upgraded my Touchsmart IQ8461 to Windows 8.1 and it does not work.  Tried to get new driver but install indicates that my hardware is not supported?

    How was the SATA configured originally? If it was configured for RAID/AHCI and the DaRT disk does not have the RAID/AHCI driver the operating system may not be detectable, even if the mode is changed in the firmware.

    This is tough to guess because there isn't a lot of information to work with.  I'll provide some basic steps you can take to see if it helps. Try clearing the temporary internet files, cache, and other non-essential stuff from your system.    You can do this in tools menu, then internet options.  There is a good cleaning freeware program called CCleaner. I use that and it finds a lot of junk and discards it.  It also cleans up the registry for you as well. If your hard drive is very full this could slow it down as well. see if there are files you can backup off the drive or delete to free up space.  It's also possible that your system is dusty and dirty and it's slowing down the processor. Maybe it's time to clean the vents and see if the heatsink in the PC is clogged with dust.  Heat can also slow a PC down especially if it's left on a lot so make sure it's cleaned as well.
    Hope  these tips help you.

  • I have an older machine with windows 2000 that has a substantial itunes library, how do i transfer it to my new windows 7 machine

    What is the best way to do this?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Windows 8 remote desktop touch keyboard problem

    I have been playing with the HP Elitepad Tablets at work for some users, who need to connect to terminal servers, or their PC. The issue that they have is that the standard RDC does not support the touch keyboard (different then the onscreen keyboard or
    virtual keyboard). When they connect into the remote session they are able to pull up the touch keyboard, but by a series of maneuvers that I don't expect anyone to have to fight with (swipe in the charms, tap settings, tap keyboard, and then select "Touch
    keyboard and handwriting panel". Then they are allowed to type into a field but if the keyboard needs to close so they can actually view the screen then this has to be done again). I have downloaded the Remote Desktop app from the Windows Store and have
    used this and it works well, you can tap the PC you're connected to at the top and select the keyboard, but not every user has a Microsoft Account, and I am not in the position to have them sign up for one just to get one app not to mention issues of using
    their personal email for their work PC.
    Is there a way to get the Remote Desktop "App" from the Windows Store without having to sign in with a Microsoft account?
    Is there a way to add in Remote Apps to the Remote Desktop app for easy switching between RPDs? (Swiping from left to right or selecting the dropdown from the Remote Desktop app and switching between RDCs)
    Any help would be appreciated. Again this is only for a few devices, we currently have less then 10 of these tablets on our domain.

    Any error messages prompted or shown under Event Viewer? Please paste related information here so we can better find the cause.
    Meanwhile, you can refer to the KB below, check if it can help you
