Pavilion dv6 has a lighted volume on/off icon and a lighted internet on/off icon that stopped workin

I have a pavilion dv6 that has a lighted volume on/off and scale and a lighted internet on/off icon above the keyboard that stopped working. Does anyone know how to get it to work again?

Answered my own question on the power supply, now I will answer the questions on the battery, and the lower right hand corner having those ghost shadows, and what they actually are. To answer the battery question, I simply went, and custom made one using the current top of the line AMD 3550MX APU, and it comes with the standard 6 cell battery so that question is answered. On to the next.
     The ghosty white shadows some owners see on this model, and on others in the Pavilion line, are simply the HP logo light shining through the screen. Some like the light, some don't. I happen to like it, but as others have asked, I wish there was a way to turn it off, and on.  Ok, 3 of my questions answered by own ingenuity, lol, I think I'll start a thread specific to this model as many owners are out there as this model too, has been sold out by Best Buy, and seems to be a lone child in that there is very little, correct, info on this model. We need to band together, and answer all the questions that remain on the dv6-6b47dx model.

    Try this step and if you cannot get your device into recovery mode there is a chance you have a hardware failure and you need to call apple to see what service options you have.

  • Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing.

    Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing and so are some of the editing features.  I fixed this once before by accident but can't remember how I did it.  All I remember is it had something to do with the veiw % in other applications - I think!

    I've been using a tutorial that is obviously been done on a Mac.
    I used to have a link somewhere that was basically a list of all of the differences between the two platforms, but I can't lay hands on it. I'm sure if you asked us about the features that were missing or broken, we could answer fairly easily - you know, like "Preferences are under the InDesign menu on a Mac, but in Windows they're under Edit."
    The worst of these differences is in keyboard shortcuts - Macs have an extra modifier key, so whenever I switch platforms I always spend twenty minutes flopping my hands around and muttering uncomplimentary things about Cupertino and Redmond, at least until muscle memory takes over.

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6-7010us resently installed windows 8.1 pro, 8gb ddr3 (4gbx2), 320gb hdd (not the original hdd)
    i was giving a normal maintenance to the laptop to remove the dust, nothing of the other world, the machine where functioning pretty well 'till this moment, i turn on the laptop and i see the caps lock blinking at 1sec intervals and the wifi light in orange not blinking just led on when i turn on (NOT NUM LOCK LIGHT ON), and this is it, nothing more, i dont know what to do, i use the WINDOWS KEY + B to reset the BIOS and nothing, i leave the power botton hold for a minute without the battery nor the power source, and plug the cable and turn on again without the battery and nothing, also where testing changing the memory from slots i have 2 memories of 4gb and nothing, anybody can tell me any combination of keys to resolve this that i don't use yet?

    What did the normal maintenance include-any disassembly? I assume the laptop is still under warranty?

  • Core i7 HP Pavilion DV6 6011tx heats up-to 57C when idle and rises up-to 90C when on load!

    Hi... I have an HP Pavilion DV6 6011tx laptop.. (with a core i7 cpu and 6GB ram).. When im using the laptop for browing, the temperatures rise upto 55 to 60 C! (Even with a cooling pad)... Yesterday, i tried to render a video with adobe premier... Then, temperatures rose upto 98C! But the laptop kept working....
    Yesterday when i asked the HP support, they said that the normal temperature of a laptop should be between 30 to 40C... They asked me to contact a technician... The technicians at the shop where i bought this machine told me that 50 to 60C is normal!
    Now i just want to know who is correct? Am i in a danger? Does my laptop have a heating problem? Or is it normal?

    You have not specified if it is the CPU or GPU that these temperatures are reported for. In either case 98C is way too high for CPU or GPU. The machine may work ok but the heat stress may significantly reduce the life of your computer. What mode have you set HP Coolsense to? I would recommend 'Performance' to keep those temps down. If its your CPU thats heating up drastically then try unistalling programs that you don't need. If that does not help, you can type 'config.sys' in the Windows command prompt and make sure no unecessary processes are running by disabling them from running on startup. Please note that disabling important Windows services can crash your computer so only do this if you are familiar with the Windows environment. If its the GPU that heating then you can check the ATI graphics driver setting to make sure it is running in balanced mode as opposed to performance mode. My HP Dv6-3015tx was very tame that the temps for CPU were between 50-65C and GPU never exceeded 65C with a cooling pad. I would say those are good temperatures for a laptop. I was interested in picking up the DV6-6000 series as a replacement but changed my mind because the central cooling fan did not have a direct air intake at the bottom. With my old DV6-3015 I just placed the machine so that one of the cooling fans in the cooling pad was blowing right into the laptops cooling fan air intake located on the upper right side of the machine directly feeding air into the machines cooling system. This reduced the machines temps by 10C under stress so I could game on for hours without breaking a sweat. After looking at the new DV6-6000 series I changed my mind about getting it because there is no direct inlet to boost the built in cooling system. Thereby you are at the mercy of HP's coolsense. Hope this helps.

  • Last time I updated firefox Yahoo has taken over. I hate yahoo and would like to remove it is that possible?

    when I uploaded the new version of firefox yahoo has taken over. It over rides everything and I want to remove it is that possible to keep firefox but remove yahoo?
    When I put a address in the address bar yahoo over rides it and it goes to a yahoo page.

    Hi All,
    Have just sorted this problem. Do the following:
    type into your address bar> about:config
    this will bring up the usual warning that it might void your warrantee. Click> I'll be careful I promise.
    in the filter bar at the top enter "Yahoo" without the quotes.
    At the bottom of the list ther'll be a string named "Keyword.url. Right click on this and select reset.
    While your in there if you like you can right click on any of the yahoo lines and select modify. Once once the box opens replace Yahoo by overtyping Google.
    Close the tab and that should cure the problem.
    All the best

  • HP pavilion dv6 has no sound.

    The sound was working as should yesterday when using Windows Media; viewing audios on FaceBook; reading audio books. Last evening it quit and I don't know what caused that to happen.  There are no external speakers. There is a Jam classic bluetooth mobile speaker.  I have a Samsung 24" monitor connected by USB to use when I am searching for genealogy information. I don't know where to start.

    U can uninstall audio driver software and restart notebook then reinstall audio software from c drive swsetup , driver folder, audio folder run setup

  • My iPad has a weird grain when viewing whites and other light colors is this normal?

    and if it isn't is it a justifiable reason to make a genius bar appointment?

    You have not been hacked. You're seeing a page you, or someone using your iPad, has visited in the past. iOS uses a stored thumbnail of Safari then loads the actual pages you have open live. You can probably reset it by closing Safari completely and clearing it's cache in Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.

  • I moved to a new place I am trying to connect my Apple TV to a new tv, I connected to power and hdmi but my tv is not reading the Apple TV and my Apple TV light is on all time and can't turn it off by remote

    how to connect my apple tv

    It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
    Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
    If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
    If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
    If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:
