Need help with Hp mini remote

Question

Hi, I bought a new hp Dv3 laptop (dv3-2165ee) few days ago, and I did a clean windows 7 ultimate install, downloaded drivers from hp support site, however the laptop wont detect anything from the remote, the remote is working perfect on my other hp notebook, so the problem is from the IR reciver, i tried installing the ICRdriver many times but no use,
could i get help with this please,
thanks in advance

Answer 1

In SwitchRes X, try building a custom timing using the following values:
Pixel clock: 134.86 MHz
Horizontal Active: 1680 pixels
Horizontal Front porch: 104 pixels
Horizontal Sync width: 128 pixels
Horizontal Back porch: 152 pixels
Vertical Active: 1050 lines
Vertical Front porch: 3 lines
Vertical Sync width: 6 lines
Vertical Back porch: 30 lines
Put a check mark on the "Positive sync." option for Horizontal but leave it unchecked for Vertical. And you have to have the "Use simplified settings:" box unchecked to be able to enter the above data because otherwise several of the boxes will be greyed out and uneditable.
The whole trick is to get the pixel clock under 135 MHz. In the standard configuration, the pixel clock is 146.25 MHz as can be seen in the data you posted under "Descriptor #0". That's too high for the mini in some circumstances.
One more thing; you need to make the above custom addition to SwitchRes X while the HP is hooked up to the mini via the HP's DVI input, not the VGA input. Since you aren't getting a picture when connected by DVI, that presents a bit of a problem. You can try to start in Safe Mode (hold down the shift key during a restart) which should give you a useable screen to work with under DVI, albeit at a pretty low resolution. Good luck.
