Pavilion dv7 keyboard is warping, 2 days old but left side is lifting & keys are clicking loudly?

As title states keyboard is warping, no heat that I can feel but the keys are becoming very NOISY. Jus looking to see if any others haveing this issue, what I might do. As its only 2days old bit bothered. If I just slightly depress anywhere between the keys it stops. like someone drumming there fingers on the case...

Hi,
Personally, I would say your best option is to return the notebook to the retailer you purchased it from and get it replaced - you shouldn't have to troubleshoot a brand new machine and this would seem to be a Hardware issue.

  • Pavilion dv7 keyboard replacement problems HP Pavilion dv7-4069wm

    Hope I can get some help. HP Pavilion dv7-4069wm, windows7 64bit. Ok, the sad story, I spilled a drink on the keyboard. Did not seem to mess anything up but the keyboard. First mistake, bought a used one off ebay. Turned out to be the wrong one, screw lugs on back did not match. Bought a second one, it seemed to work the first couple times I used it, backspace key would not work, then nothing worked. I did break one of the little tabs on the zif connector and used some tape like I found in another post. Could this be a connection problem, or just a cheap keyboard problem? I am smacking myself for the spill anyway, so ANY help is appreciated.
    I forgot to ad, I am using this laptop as a media center, I currently have a wireless keyboard and mouse I use with it, and it works well, one concern being that on this laptop I can only turn on the wifi with the wifi key on the laptop keyboard. Is there a way to go into bios or a workaround to turn on wifi other than the laptop keyboard? I have the laptop power settings to put it to sleep when not in use, but If it would get shut off, not sure how I would get the wifi restarted if it did not automatically come back on.

    use windows mobility centre to control Wifi. May require wifi to be turned on via dedicated key for first instance before it can handle toggling of wifi but may not so worth inspecting & setting up.
    Problem with broken connector is probably cause of keyboard issue, the tabs don't just hold cable but also push it against contacts so you may need to revisit & improve your solution to this ribbon connector.
    Have come across damaged connectors before & been able to use them by adding thin tape to top of ribbon making ribbon tighter fit in socket & contact better & also use some tape across top of connector socket & onto ribbon to hold it in place.

  • Pavilion dv7 keyboard issue

    Product Name: Pavilion dv7
    Product Number: QG703EA#B1A
    Recently purchased, which IMO has an issue which is probably a BIOS-solvable one. There is a setting in the BIOS, named "Action keys mode", which:
    - when set to "Disabled", action keys work as normal function keys (F1 to F12), without requiring "Fn" to be pressed.
    - when set to "Enabled", action keys work as action keys and in one wishes to make them work as normal function keys (F1 to F12), he has to press "Fn".
    This setting however does not apply to "Ins" key. Regardless of the "Action keys mode" setting, "Ins" always requires "Fn" to be pressed, something which is not acceptable for everyday use.
    IMO this is most of the time a setting which will be set to "Disabled" because when working on a computer, most of the time one needs the function keys to work as function keys and not as action keys. Have in mind that this is a computer, not an mp3 player, so one would want to quickly access F1-F12 and Ins, not Brightness controls and PrintScreen.
    If anyone from HP support sees this post, please pass this issue as a bug report to the appropriate support team.
    Thank you

  • Can i change the motherboar​d of pavilion dv7-4180us

    Can i change the motherboard of pavilion dv7-4180us to another one with better graphic card

    Hello Ayfentures,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are looking to change the motherboard of your HP Pavilion dv7-4180us Notebook. You certainly can, but your computer will no longer be a HP Pavilion dv7-4180us so any drivers you use for your computer related to the motherboard or any of it's built in devices will no longer be the same as you use now.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Bluetooth module part number for pavilion dv7 4080us ?

    I have a pavilion dv7 4080us.  Its a great machine but am surprised not to find bluetooth.  I see other machines have it and assume it is a part.  I have installed bluetooth modules in other laptops pretty easily - but I cannot find a part number for this machine to order etc. 

    Hi:
    Below is the service manual for your notebook.
    http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02476547/c02476547.pdf
    You will need to order both the bluetooth module and the bluetooth cable. Part numbers for these are on page 21 of Chapter 3.
    The installation procedure is in Chapter 4, page 82. Part numbers again listed on page 82.  Looks like you have to take a lot of stuff off including the display.

  • I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
    Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Pavilion dv7 (new) Keyboard Problems

    3/15/11    I have a brand new dv7-4287, purchased thru Sam's Club.  It is less than ten days old, and am having ALL of the same problems many others have described:  spacebar is the WORST, but shift keys and other keys do it sporadically, too.  Spent 1hr with a very helpful Tech Support guy last night, uninstalling BIOS and Touchpad drivers, then dowloading and reinstalling new drivers for both.  T.S. guy was awesome, not his fault, but the reinstalls did NOT solve my problems at all.  Spacebar seems to have big "dead" areas where no matter how many times I strike it, it won't advance the cursor.  Other areas it works pretty well.  My right shift key only works if I am very careful to hold it down for a second before typing the letter that I want in Caps.  The left shift key works, then doesn't work, then works..... on and off.   Some other keys work with very little stroke pressure, and some need to be hit hard.  What is annoying is that in this $1,1000 computer there is NO consistency to the keyboard and touchpad problems.   The store demo seemed to work fine, but maybe I didn't really give it a thorough test and would have noticed if I had typed more and cruised around Win7 less.   This is definitely a mechanical issue, not a software driver issue.   What are my options, other than to return it for another one or a refund? Also am wondering how long it will be before my keys start to wear and become unreadable as others have mentioned, or just fall off altogether.  REALLY disappointed in HP quality out of the box.

    Hi,
    You may return it to the shop and ask for a refund.

  • Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop.  I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys.  I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part.   I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys.  Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards?  This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price.  Also, need a new AC Adapter charger.  I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w.  Is this accurate?  I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct.  I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit.  Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate.  Thanks. 

    Hi:
    My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.

  • My brand new hp pavilion dv7 has no sound-seemed as if it did first day

    new pavilion dv7-6c20us had a normal windows default beep 1st day-never tried anything with sound til last nite-tried to watch video for 1st time and no sound-did system restore still no sound. IT person at my job looked it over too and is lost as well. Windows 7 . I haven't used laptop at all except for dragging pictures from external hard drive onto it. I can play a movie with sound on tv with HDMI cable, and in sounds looks like its working but isn't audible. I can hear a click when I hit mute with headphones on.

    If speakers are set as default and still no sound go to Device Manager and uninstall the IDT Audio device,choosing to also delete the driver. Retart the laptop and install the latest IDT driver from your models driver page. You may want to download and save it first in your Download folder.

  • Hp pavilion dv7-4273us keyboard problem

    On my HP Pavilion DV7-4273us and has Win7 Home Pre, my keyboard has turned into one big shortcut board.  While typing if I press "E" My Computer pops up, Space bar all windows close as if in peek mode, "L" locks the computer, ect... I have used Windows Update to see if the driver was out of date, Device Manager and uninstaled it and reinstalled it, looked through the Ease of Access but nothing seems to be working.  If I restart it might work fine for 2 minutes or so.  What can I do?

    Went to another computer and opened Ease of Access Center and looked at every check box and did the same and worked for a little bit than back to where it was.  I think I have narrowed it down to the windows key.
