Omen 5012 firmware update, keyboard backlight color problems

When upgrading from F.09 to F.23, the ability to control the keyboard backlight colors went away, as discussed by OP. When checking the available firmware updates, HP Support Advisor showed new firmware and 3 other downloads, as of 30 July. Then, I pressed check for updates, and all the entries disappeared, now HPSA says there are no updates available. In any event, where can I download the latest firmware, and has this fixed the inability to control the keyboard backlight colors.

The website detects what OS you are on, so searching for it within Win10 will show you only what is qualified for Windows 10.
From the link below, can you change the OS:

The link for BIOS F24a is: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71501.exe
Now, let me run this on my Omen first! This was writin for Win8 and may cause problems running in Windows 10!Let me be the guinea pig.
Stand By.

  • G5 Firmware update necessary? Random problems since Tiger upgrade.

    I have a PowerMac G5 (7,2) with a 1.8 GHz PowerPC 970 (2.2) CPU running under boot version 5.1.4f0. I have added memory.
    I apparently upgraded from OS 9 to 10.2.8 without running any firmware updates. I quite frankly don't remember. I have since upgraded to Tiger, directly from 10.2.8. (There were OS X versions in between, I'm told. *wry smile*)
    I am now having random problems.
    The machine won't sleep. Display will but tower won't.
    On occasion when I boot it up, I get the blue screen and nothing else; I have to shut it off with the power button and restart.
    iPhoto (ancient version) is running agonizingly slowly (better since I did the fix suggested in the iPhoto forum in answer to someone else's question).
    A short while ago, (in the last week) I noticed that some of my rules in mail ceased functioning (while others work fine). I deleted and recreated them to no avail. I previously had serious Mail problems that I fixed thanks to Mr. Gost, but those were largely of my own creation, so this latter might be unrelated.
    If I'm reading things on the various boards and in Apple's Support forum right, in order to truly fix this I should deal with the firmware, to wit:
    1. temporarily remove the memory I added (not factory-installed)
    2. somehow (handwave) install OS 9 OR boot up from a OS 9 disk
    3. download and install the 5.1.5f2 uniprocessor firmware update that Software Update keeps insisting I need.
    4. reinstall the added memory
    5. If I've reinstalled OS 9, reinstall 10.2.8 and then reinstall Tiger. (because I can't go directly from 9 to 10.4, right?) Otherwise, a clean install of Tiger might be a good idea.
    Is this accurate?
    Should this solve my blue screen and non-sleeping issues?
    Are those issues indicative of a serious problem, or just annoying?
    Is there more than one firmware update I should be using?
    Will updating my firmware at this point create more issues than it is worth (as I'm seeing that many people had issues after firmware updates?)
    Also, these problems seem to have intensified since the update to 4.10. Can I go back to 4... um... the last update? If so, can you point me to directions?
    Sorry to be so verbose. I'm obviously more than a little behind the bell curve on this upgrade. The version of iPhoto I want (6) isn't even sold anymore.

    Software updater insists the firmware update I need is 5.1.5f2. The only information I can find on this is on a 2004 page at apple support (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117) that states:
    These firmware updates cannot be installed when the computer is started up from Mac OS X. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD).
    When you click on the technical details it says:
    Remove any third part RAM before installing this Firmware Update. After the Firmware Updater has verified that it has been completed correctly, you can re-install your third party RAM.
    There are other firmware updates, but they don't appear to address the issues I have been having, and they're not what Software Updater says it needs. Am I missing something obvious here?
    I will check the USB devices. Thank you.

  • ...Another Spill. MBP Keyboard Backlight/trackpad problem

    Hello,
    A friend (yes he remains a friend) recently spilled red wine all over my new Macbook Pro. I was very upset at first, but have calmed down... after several weeks. I've dried it out and I'm taking it to Apple to get it cleaned.
    The only clear problems that exist at the moment: the keyboard is not illuminating fully, it is only bright in the middle; the tap-to-click feature on the trackpad has a one-second delay before any command is registered.
    The problem with the keyboard backlight, i think, is due to wine staining the sheet of plastic separating the keyboard from the LEDs behind it. Could anyone suggest a means of cleaning this or any other method of reviving the backlight, IF they have not short-circuited.
    Any suggestions other than getting Apple to help with the unresponsive trackpad?
    Thanks
    Jamie

    What I was trying to communicate when I added "which will also include the trackpad" to a previous post was that the top case, the keyboard, the trackpad and various other internal parts that are attached to the inside of the top case will ALL be replaced when Apple repairs the machine, because Apple considers the whole assembly to be one part. Cleaning the keyboard effectively is impossible, but it would be pointless even if it were possible, because Apple is just going to discard or recycle it. When Apple repairs a machine, it comes back in virtual like-new condition — there are no partial repairs. You may prefer not to spring for a complete overhaul, but that's what you're going to get — and pay for — regardless.

  • MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update/Keyboard update- Do I need this?

    Software update is offering me the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware update and a Keyboard Firmware update.
    I have not experienced any issues at all with my MacBook Pro.
    Should I install these updates anyway?
    What is the best practice? Should one just update everything all the time? If I do not, could I fall behind, and could I be forced to dig up older updates down the road to catch up?
    Thanks.

  • Post 10.4.3 update, HP printer color problems, sharing problems

    Hi all
    Hope you could help me; I've looked everywhere for tips, but I've not been able to find anything.
    Setup: HP deskjet 5700 plugged into my G5 via USB. I've got a Powerbook 12" as well, and all is connected via an Airport Express to a DSL modem.
    I've used this setup to print from both the G5 and the Powerbook, via a printer share setup on the G5. It has worked like a charm.
    After the 10.4.3 update, my printer has performed erroneously. First of all, when I go to print from the Powerbook, the printer share of the G5 does not show up. If I switch the share on and off on the G5, it "broadcasts" the share just fine, and I can get to print from the Powerbook again. A minor annoyance, but when I need to do it all the time it becomes a pain.
    But worse yet, another problem arose. The printer output became flakey: Sometimes a picture would print out just fine, and sometimes the printout would seemingly lack one of the primary colors! It seems completely random. This is the same, no matter if I print out through the share or directly to the printer from either computer. Also, some pictures would print out with bands of missing colors. Very odd. Yes, I have tried to clean the printer, print out test pages etc. It's not the printer itself! The printer works just fine.
    I tried to delete the printer in the printer utility and then add it again. No avail. I tried to perform a permissions repair, no avail.
    On top of this is I found an odd thing. The driver version is 2.7.1, and if you find the HP deskjet installer on HP's website, it's the same version. Fine and all, but here's the strange thing: HP Deskjet 5700 does not exist in the support pages of HP! So I have a printer they say never existed... :-P
    Could anybody give me a hint as to what I could try? Thanks!
    - Jesper

    macjack made some comments on my other question regarding the time machine problem and his comments helped me solve the problem with the JMP software. The time machine is problematic and from time to time has issues. It seems though that if you reset the in the system then it comes back o.k. I hope that in the future when I have to restore something it will be there for me.

  • Keyboard backlight color change button mimics mouse button presses

    I bought a Perixx PX-1100 keyboard, and with it plugged in, any time I change the color of the backlight, it makes it seem as if either right or left mouse keys are held down. The same issues occured in Ubuntu 13.10. I tracked it down to keycodes greater than 255. While logged out of KDE, but with kdm/X11 still running on tty 7, I can go to another tty and issue the showkey command, and here is what my results are - showkey -k is the only parameter that shows any output, -a nor -s show anything.
    Backlight off to blue:
    keycode 256 press
    keycode 259 release
    Blue to red:
    keycode 256 release
    keycode 257 press
    Red to purple:
    keycode 257 release
    keycode 258 press
    Purple to off:
    keycode 258 release
    keycode 259 press
    I assume I need to somehow assign the keycodes involved to a scancode that doesn't cause a mouse conflict or have any effect at all in my KDE session, but I found conflicting information on the best way to do so. I tried setkeycodes, but that just gave me an "Invalid argument" error, I assume due to keycodes >255. The other options I found include editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev, but then I don't know what scancode I could use to do nothing but still be mapped; or compile a new xf86-input-evdev driver with a code-remap patch (from MythTV for Ubuntu family), which I could do, but may be overkill, and I am still stuck with finding a scancode that has no effect.

    Hi there
    Sorry, but your post seemed to initially infer you were just referring to a Button you would insert on a page. At least that's what I understood when I posted with what I did.
    Now it would seem you are referring to the Playback Controls that Captivate supplies? So either I grossly misunderstood your initial issue or you are now switching gears and asking about something different.
    What I posted earlier does not apply to the Captivate Playback Controls.

  • Nokia E71 Firmware update 300.21.012 - problem wit...

    Russian language got messed up - I get Ukranian language instead!!!! Some Russian simbols like Э and Ъ are missing. In the preious firmware everything was ok.
    Please help to fix! 

    it could be because you had a different language pack installed and now you have a language pack native to your phone. although i would think that both Russian and Ukrainian would be in the same language pack. 
    i think yours should be euro 2
     Russia: English, German, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian 
    with these langauges. try to remove your battery for 5 min. reboot your phone and see if it makes any difference. if not, perhaps reinstalling the firmware or your last option is this:
    the only way you can change a language pack is by going to nokia care. also make sure that the language you use plus the language you want are both in a specific language pack. nokia care will install the desired language pack for a small fee. there is few things to keep in mind, you will lose your installed language pack if you update a firmware and/or have to reformat your phone. in that case your language pack will default to whatever native pack was installed with the firmware meant for this product code. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • PS Vita Firmware Update(s) causing a problem

    My brother? He's been using my account. He doesn't have one

    It's been a while since I used my Vita. I lent it to my little brother to play games on for a while. I got it back from him yesterday. There've been a good few updates since then but it seems one of them has caused a problem.
    I felt like returning to my Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days save file only to get the infamous DLC Error when booting up. I followed all the tips and tricks that were used back on the PSP but to no avail. I looked around a bit more and people were reporting this from around January time. My save file was from October 2013 so there's definitely been a lot of updates since then. One post I read said it was working fine until he updated his Vita earlier this year. I have redownloaded and installed the game and all it's DLC a couple of times and also tried formatting my memory card after backing up my data. Even if I start a new game, the DLC cannot be found. Any help would be great, but I don't know if that would work. It seems that only someone official looking into this problem and seeing if they can find a solution is the only answer. Also, I have no idea if this is affecting any other games at this moment. Honestly I had no idea where to post this thread. I thought due to it looking like an update may have caused this that it may be best here. If not then I apologise. I'd also like to know how I can get in touch with anybody who could look into this if it's no good posting here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

  • Keyboard backlight color

    Is it possible to change the colour of the backlight for the keyboard of a MBP to something a little more contrasting? On a grey morning, the backlight lights up just enough to blend in with the grey of the keyboard. My wife thought blue or green, I say red or orange. I know my suggestions would toy with the fabric of the integrity of the design concept, but it sure would help!
    I wonder how safe it would be sticking a cut of some theatrical lighting colour filter under the keys?
    Joe

    I personally have had one on my Powerbook for quite
    some time and hated how it was for actually typing
    with it on, but liked how it protected the display
    when closed. I am a quick typer and this definitely
    slows down the typing as far as I am concerned. It
    is like putting something sticky on each key and
    having to key through it each time you type. And as
    far as protecting the keyboard, I personally do not
    eat or drink near my computer so I could care less
    about crumbs and liquids. If you are that sloppy
    around your computer you need more than an iSkin to
    help.
    It wouldn't say it slows you down, at least in my experience. The only time I don't use it is when I'm playing games... it always slides down and messes me up for some reason. And as for food and drinks I agree. You'll need to protect more than just the keyboard if you want to eat and drink around your machine a lot.

  • Satellite S55 BIOS update to 1.60 has a problem with UEFI keyboard backlight control

    I recently updated my BIOS to version 1.60 from 1.50. The update went well. However now the setting for the keyboard backlight control will not hold my setting. I don't wish the backlight to illuminate as it will use up power. When I enter my UEFI and change the setting to "OFF", then save and exit, the keyboard illumination appears to operate as expected. However, following a Windows restart, or shutdown and boot, the UEFI setting resets to "TIMER" with "Backlight Lighting Time" set to 0. If I leave the mode set to "Timer", and set "Backlight Lighting Time" to 10, again the backlight appears to operate properly. But a reboot resets the time to 0. I thought possibly I was not saving and exiting UEFI properly. To test this, I change the setting for the "Internal USB3.0 Controller from "Enable" to "Disable", then also set the backlight control to "OFF", did a save/exit. I found that the USB3.0 remained disabled, but the backlight control again reset to "Timer". The BIOS update was provided by the Toshiba Service Station app as an optional update, so it should be the right one for my laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
     My laptop is a Satellite S55-A5295 and is running Windows 8.1 with BIOS 1.60 and EC 1.20.

    Thank you for your response. When I purchased the laptop, I also bought a 2-year repair plan with Geek Squad.  I took the device to the tech and it was his opinion that there might be a bug in the BIOS I installed.  I asked if we could retro the BIOS to a previous version and he told me he didn't recommend it as there are always risks when updating the BIOS.  He said it wasn't worth it as the device was stable with no other known issues besides the keyboard lighting.  He recommended I contact Toshiba support to document the problem.  This I did.  However, I was told by Toshiba I was beyond my complimentary support and would have to pay $49 to correct the issue.  I agreed to purchase the support.  The tech had me try various resets including the hardware reset button but to no avail.  At this point the tech informed me that I can always press "Fn-z" to cycle the lights off after boot/restart, and that my support time was ending.  I only hope that the problem is with the BIOS and not with hardware such as BIOS memory, and that a new firmware update will correct the problem. I appreciate this forum and the people that are trying to help others correct their problems.  Please keep up the good work. 

  • Downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update?

    Can I downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after having applied the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0? This firmware update requires OS 10.5.2 or higher to be installed. Now that it is installed can I downgrade back to Tiger (10.4.11)?
    I have a MacBook Pro 17 (late 2006). It ran perfect except for the occasional ignored first key press problem that these MacBook's have. In late December I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.6) and installed the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 that is suppose to fix the ignored first key press problem. Ever since then I have had constant keyboard & trackpad failures. When the built-in keyboard fails, thankfully I can still use an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. I've tried everything. I've reinstalled Leopard four separate times, reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, pressure on the keyboard cable under the battery (even though I don't think this version of the MacBook has that problem). Nothing restored my internal keyboard and trackpad. During this process I tried to re-install the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update using the original package file that I had downloaded, however I was given a message that the keyboard didn't need to be update because it already has the updated functionality and the installer package would then quit. Then I remembered that the original firmware update actually installed a Keyboard Firmware Update application in my Utilities Folder. When I ran the Firmware Update application in the Utilities Folder it instantly fixed my keyboard problem! Unfortunately the keyboard fix is not stable. It fails 2 to 3 time a week. Running the Keyboard Firmware Update application fixes the problem every single time, but this renders my MacBook useless as a portable (I have to have an external keyboard/mouse to run the Firmware application). I have, incidentally, tried all the other suggestions in the many keyboard threads in this forum (putting the computer to sleep, restarts, shut downs, PRAM & SMU resets, repairing permissions, running other applications, etc.), and nothing works except reinstalling the Keyboard Firmware Update using the application in the Utilities Folder. At this point I just want to downgrade to Tiger and go back to the way it was. I'll happily take the ignored first key press problem over a completely dead keyboard.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how you were able to get the macbook to accept the update? I had to take mine to apple store and get entire keyboard and trackpad replaced in my macbook. They then told me to ignore the update cause they did not have any other keyboards to replace if it happened again.

  • Lip Sync Problem AFTER LG Firmware Update on some HD Channels

    I have an LG HDTV, model number 47LH90, and I'm experiencing lip sync issues even after they gave me a firmware update to solve the problem.
    I've noticed the problem appears to be most prevalent on the History HD channel.  Most other channels seem fine now following the firmware update from LG.  Any reason why this is  happening?  I have a couple thoughts to add for Verizon personnel:
    1) The Motorola STB/DVR I have from Verizon let's me choose my output as 720p, 1080i, etc.  It would be nice if it would also allow a pass-through option to just be whatever input the feed is.  For example, sometimes I wonder if this issue is because the DVR is trying to take 1080i input to the STB and convert it to 720p output to the TV, which somehow changes data lengths and results in some lip sync issue.
    2) I have a PlayStation3 that I bought to use mainly as a Blu-Ray player.  The PlayStation Audio/Video to my TV using the HDMI cable works great, with no lip sync on Blu Rays, Hulu, games, etc.  I know this lip sync is sometimes more prevalent on LG TV's, but it would seem to me that if PlayStation's can produce lip sync-free content, surely FIOS can too.  Perhaps they could upgrade their hardware and use the latest standards.
    3) I'm using the same make/quality/length HDMI cables on my PlayStation3 and STB, HDMI 1.3a.
    I would love to see some updates that address this issue as soon as possible.

    We frequently have a similar/same problem but do not have a HDTV or programming. We have a  QIP6416-2 hooked up to a 12 year old Sony large screen TV (we won't buy a HDTV until Verizon gets a better, higher capacity DVR or until out contract is up and we can move on).  Often when we are watching a taped show (we tape almost everything) the sound and picture will get out of sync.  Think bad Japanese movie!  It makes me crazy as I read lips but my husband, although bothered, doesn't want to kill the DVR after a few minutes. We have found, by trial and error, that if we exit the show and then resume play the sound and picture return to normal. It also happens when we rewind on a currently playing show.  It happens almost every time I rewind a long ways (I do this when I watch 2 shows at once).  It is harder to get back in sync when this happens but it sometimes works if I watch and jump forward to be close to live and then jump between shows and only have to rewind a short ways.  I used to routinely watch 2 shows at once but now the aggravation factor makes me either tape everything or just not watch some shows I like.  I posted to let you know that it may not be the LG update and may be the DVR.  Try out my tricks when it happens, and if they work, I would blame the DVR.
    Thanks for the suggestion.  My problem actually seems to go away when the show is recorded versus live, at least sometimes, but not always.  Although, I've found that stopping playback, then resuming, or similar behavior can help the problem as well.  I just want my TV to work without having to throw salt over my shoulder.

  • After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

    Hello,
    I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
    I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting.  I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
    Thank you and please ask any questions!

    Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

  • Incompatible after the firmware update

    I had missing the dictionary (including the icon on the screen) and chinese language currently stored in my nokia 6680 after the firmware update. what is the problems?

    Yes I m using one of the default themes.
    I have even done the re-installation of the same firmware version again, it did not work.
    Each time I flash the firmware, installed applications become unworkable although the icons still remained in the menu. IT is always a great hassle to have to re-install all applications over again.
    tsk.

  • Firmware Fix for Power Off Problems?

    I'm running out of time to exchange my 5G and I'm not sure if the general consensus is that a firmware update will fix the problem with the failure of the Ipod to power down while watching a video. Pressing and holding the play button will not cut off the Ipod. I have to go all the way out to the main menu and load a song before it will cut off. Anyone know if this will or can be fixed with firmware? Thanks!
    TreoBud

    That's exactly what it is. While watching a movie, the hard drive is almost continually spinning, especially towards the beginning. Sometimes, you do have to pause it, go to the main menu, and wait a minute or two before it will turn off. You can tell by the vibration in your hand - if it's vibrating, it won't turn off. The second it stops, it'll turn off. It's kind of annoying, but that's the way it works. No firmare update will fix it, it's a hardware thing.
