Pavilion dv7-6101eo works but doesn't start.

My notebook got a cup of black coffee on the keyboard.
I have cleaned a little, disassembled the whole notebook, even cpu, added new silver and put everything back togeather again. Started and everything worked. Shut the notebook domw - dead. Could not start again, no blinking, nothing. Repeated picking apart everythung again and started. Works perfekt to press start and go. So this time I made a recovery and reinstalled everything.
Keyboard does not work all over, a, s, d, f,e, l and swedish letter ö doesnt work very well. I dont thing the contact for headphones work properly either - you get some sound but a little in both speakers and phones. Forgot to check the sd card reader but it is located there in the corner with a speaker. 
Onece i disassembled everything but mobo and this card reader and then the notebook did not start. I had to do it all again and it started. So now I am a bit puzzled to what It can be?
It does not work removing batteri and pushing start button. Not for 15 seconds - not even for 2 minutes. I know that battery, power cord works fine, cd, network, hdd, memory modules, fan, cpu - everything works and yesterday the notebook run for 24 h without malfunctioning at all. Installed programs and restarted over and over again. And after all that I shut down the notebook the way you should. And - it will not start again ???
Is there a possibility that some current is left in cd-card reader or something that stops the notebook from starting? Or is it enough that the keyboard is malfuctioning? I can't understand what it is with the disassembeling process that makes the notebook start.
Its not fun to have to take everything apart everytime you want to start your computor ...

It sounds like the coffee did more damage than you thought.
You should have taken it apart and used contact cleaner everywhere that the coffe could have gone.
The next step is a difficult one for most people:  let it dry for at least one day in open air in a safe dry place.. It is unfortunate that you didn't do that.
You should consider looking for a replacement notebook.  A systemboard and keyboard would be options, unless the cost puts you upside down aginst the present value of the notebook.

  • Pavilion dv7 Microphone works, but not when setting up Wima Blackboard Webinar

    Can't get microphone to install for Wimba setup for my Blackboard class webinars. Mic works otherwise. Pavilion dv7 user.

    Here is a link to a document regarding batteries and testing the battery in HP Support Assistant.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00821429&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    If you don't have HP Support Assistant on your system follow the instructions below to download it:
    Where do I get HP Battery Check?
    You can download the latest version of the HP Battery Check for Windows XP as a single program. Or you can do one of the following download and install it as part of the HP Support Assistant for Vista or Windows 7 for your model; or see HP Support Assistant (English Only) .
    Make sure you have had your ac adapter plugged in to charge the battery for at least 30 min before running the test from Support Assistant to get an accurate result.

    I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized.  Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB).  In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing.  But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there.  Nothing.  Nada.  Nothing recently added.
    I tried repeating it several times.  Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld.  So what's up?  Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
    I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

  • My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.

    My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.  It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
    Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call.  This is happening on both cars.
    Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
    My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
    Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

  • HP Pavilion dv7 plugged in but not charging.

    I have aj HP Pavilion dv7 that's almost 2 and half years old. For some reason my battery won't charge even though I have the charger plugged in. Right now the battery is completely dead but before it died I tried everything to fix it. I tried updating the BIOS but this website said my laptop was up to date. I tried a hard reset, I tried turning it on with the charger in and battery out. Usually the light next to the charger port is illuminated but now it doesn't come on. I hovered over the battery icon and didn't even say it was plugged in. It just showed how much battery was left. Could the battery not be receiving charge or is it my charger that doesn't work?

    Does the charger run the machine with the battery out? If so, the charger is good. 2.5 years is about normal battery life so the odds are strong you just need a replacement battery now.
    Yes, the charger works with the battery out. My question is however: I just  bought a replacement battery, my problem is that my  battery is plugged in but not charging. I bought a non OEM Battery FY1. Is there help for this? Thanks

  • Scan works, print says it works but doesn't

    Hi all! Everyone seems to have the opposite problem - wireless printing works but scan doesn't. Not me! I can choose "scan" from my printer OR computer interface and it starts right up. Problem is, when I go to print it goes through the "printing" screen then says "print job complete" (no hangups or errors or something in the print queue to delete - it's in the queue then it disappears as though printed), but...no business results on the printer end!
    Before you ask, yes the printer works (can print from SD card inserted directly to printer, or from old computer connected via network). Yes I have turned everything off and back on. Yes I tried downloading the HP print & scan doctor, and it says everything is fine, sees ink levels etc, but its test page behaves the same as any other print job. Yes I have deleted the whole HP shebang and re-downloaded and re-searched/connected my computer via the wireless network. And, as aforementioned, it scans. Oh, and tells me my ink levels! So clearly there is communication, just not for this. What weird sub-setting am I missing?
    And also, if you can resolve this, can you give me an idea whether it is suddenly going to start printing the 80 pages or so that I've tried to beam over, so I can stop it? : )
    Thanks muchly!

    Hi @theshrew 
    Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
    1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
    2. Right click on  the printer and click on printer properties.
    3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
    4. Click apply and then ok.
    If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
    Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
    Type services.msc and press Enter
    Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties 
    Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
    Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
    If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.
    Also, what printer model do you have?  How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Are you getting any error message, or does a blank page print? The more detail I have the better

  • Ipod suffle 3g recognized by iTunes but doesn't start! (water damage)

    My ipod shuffle 3G has a water damage. it shows the red/pink indicator.
    It doesn't starts but it connects to iTunes. I can move songs to my iPod shuffle and other stuffs. But it doesn't start.
    I have opened my iPod shuffle. It had green sedimentation in it. I cleaned it but it still doesn't start and is still recognized by iTunes.
    Does anybody have an idea what the reason could be?

    If it doesn't power on when you try to use it, the damage may be to the battery.  When it's connected, it is getting power from the USB connection, so it works.  When you disconnected, the battery does not hold a charge, so it is dead.
    Since you know how to open it, you may want to try leaving it open in a dry ventilated place for a few days.  If the cause is moisture shorting something out, when the moisture evaporates, it may work again.

  • MBP chimes but doesn't start

    I updated my MBP and was in the middle of a project in iMovie, left for a bit and comp went to sleep. Turned it back on only to have the rainbow wheel spinning for a long time. Shut down the comp and tried to restart it.... I get the power up chime, apple logo, grey spinning wheel, and progress bar..... Then it's shuts down. Tried a safe boot but doesn't work. Any advice would be appreciated.

    This may or may not work. 
    Try starting your MBP with thw OPTION key down.  This should result in a display with 2 HDD icons.  Select the recovery icon, on the right.  There will be a 4 option menu.  Select Disk Utility.  Then select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.  Then if successful, restart your MBP.
    If you cannot get to the inital display, indicate if your MBP came with installation discs or get the serial number from the bottom and enter it here:

  • My speakers on my Pavilion dv7 stopped working out of the blue.

    I've had my Hp Pavilion dv7 on Windows7 since Christmas of 2010. Now the speakers on it have stopped working and also when i plug in headphones i hear no audio when i should so I know this is not a problem with the speakers itself but the audio software. Again, this happened randomly and i cannot see a reason why it would just stop.

    Hello confused 19.  Please read DL Cazes/post/06/17/2011 & Putney/post/06/16/2011.  1st, go to control panel>sound>right click on the speaker icon,enable if disable,check test & see what happens.  2nd, update the latest MS & HP updates.  I think the Rules of Engagement have been Changed.

  • Shared calendars are working, but have suddenly started prompting for login info of user who shared the calendar

    My boss started having this problem this morning. It may possibly be due to an update. The calendars appear to still be working fine (not 100% sure they're
    getting new updates) and I've tried deleting them and re-adding them and the problem persists. Outlook will pop up the Security prompt asking for login credentials, with the username of the person whose calendar is shared pre-filled in the user name section.
    If you click cancel everything continues to work but it prompts you again in a few minutes. 
    These calendars have previously worked perfectly with no issues. 

    Hi,
    Please confirm if there is any changes in Shared calendar account and your boss mailbox.
    Since the issue occurs after the update in your Boss's computer, please reboot the local machine. And recreate the Outlook profile to have a try. About opening shared calendar in new profile, please open the shared calendar by the following steps:
    1. Switch to Calendar pane.
    2. Click Open Calendar > Open Shared Calendar.
    3. Click Name to select the user who shared the calendar to this user.
    4. Then click OK to open the Calendar.
    Check whether there is any error when open it. If there is any permission error, please check the folder permission in shared user side.

  • No mouse pointer when connected to TV Samsung led40/6500. Mouse works but doesn't show?

    Just bought Mac Mini. Connected to Samsung 40/6500 ledtv. using mouse pad but no pointer seen. Finally found the resolution working, but not the right resolution. Should be 1920x1080 @ 60 hz via HDMI. Mac Mini's best is much different from this. How can I find the right resolution on my Mac Mini.

    It actually works fine on my sons Lumatron cheap tv! But not on the Samsung led tv?
    To start with I used an app on my Iphone to recieve the image from the Mac Mini and then try to find the right resolution on the MAC. Because every time I choose the wrong one the display went black. I could then still see the image on my phone and troubleshoot my way through...

  • MacBook water spill - works but doesn't charge. Apple doesn't do partial repairs?

    I spilled some water on my MacBook Pro (15in retina).
    I let it dry for a couple of days then powered it. It worked.
    When the battery got to 0%, I plugged the MacSafe and it didn't charge. It sometimes charges, but intermittently. It charges very rarely.
    I brought the laptop to the Apple Store, and they said that it would cost $2000 to repair, because they want to replace EVERY parts that were water stained.
    I only want to change the Adapter Port, and POSSIBLY the Logic Board IF changing the Adapter Port didn't fix the charging issue. Knowing the above, it will most likely work, but if it doesn't, that's OK, I'll buy a new one. I'd rather risk $3-400 by doing this and buying a new Macbook IF it fails, than paying 2K for a repair straight away.
    Of course my laptop could break eventually if not all parts are replaced, but that's fine (I was able to wash some water stains with alcohol already).
    Why doesn't Apple simply change the parts that must be changed, letting the customer take a risk or whatever if he wants so?
    IMO -- Terrible policy that must be reviewed.

  • A workflow creates an item but doesn't start another list workflow on that new vreated item

    Scenario is as follows: I have a Workflow A (starts manually) and a Worklow B (starts when item is created). First I create an item in the list after that I start worklow A manually on that item and of course workflow B is already running on that item. Workflow
    A creates a new item in the same list. Unfortunately workflow B doesn't start on the newly created item.
    What I've found out so far is, the problem is connected to the actions you use in workflow B. If I'm not using actions like 'Update List Item' or 'Set Field In Current Item' the worklflow starts.
    Any suggestions?
    best
    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start the Workflow B to perform some actions like ”Update List item” or “Set Field in Current Item” on the newly created item which is created
    by Workflow A in the same list.
    The reason of the problem which you have found is that the automatically started Workflow B executed faster than the manually started Workflow A.
    Therefore, the Workflow B can’t be triggered automatically because the action
    “Update List Item” or
    “Set Field in Current Item”
    cannot be executed when the new item hasn’t been created completely.
    So, I recommend that you can add the “Pause for Duration” action to pause for
    one minute before the actions of “Update List Item” and “Set Field in Current Item” in the Workflow B.
    The Workflow B is shown as below:

  • CSS problem that works but doesn;t

    I am beginning to think this is not possible. The code is
    below. The images are their but the two side ones are not showing
    up or they do not even work like the top leaves. I even dropped the
    2 layers lft & rgt inside the top layer that does work and the
    top layer still works but the other 2 still don't, puzzling. Here
    are the link
    http://www.lasalleboat.org/index2.htm
    On number 2 the links do not work the leaves layer/DIV/AP
    Element is above the links layer
    http://www.lasalleboat.org/index3.htm
    On number three the links work but they move over the graphic
    and the links layer is above the leaves layer
    I have tried adding two more layers one on each side of the
    page and put thin graphics.png in the layers so they clear the
    links and made the leaves graphic crop at the bottom of the trees
    line so it cleared the links neither of the two layers I added will
    work or show up withe code below so I tried putting the two lft
    & rgt layers inside the leaf layer and resize the leaf layer
    and that kind works but not you can see this at the next link.
