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

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.

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.

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.

Replacing a keyboard on a pavilion dv7-61213cl

Replacing keyboard on Pavilion DV7-7012NR--Backlit or not?

I spilled water on my HP laptop and now the keyboard doesn't work. Everything else seems fine, and it works fine when a USB keyboard is connected.
So, I'm looking to replace the keyboard. I've had a hard time finding a good match, but...HP Part Surfer says my laptop has part #681981-001 or 698782-001, "Island style Keyboard Paint black backlit." I've found that item on ebay and elsewhere.
BUT, my original keyboard was not backlit. However, I'm pretty sure there is a connecter for the backlit ribbon. See photo (finger pointing to it).
Any feedback?

Here are the original factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv7-7012nr Entertainment Notebook Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with a "Full-size island-style backlit keyboard with numeric keypad" installed.
From the HP Partsurfer;
681981-001 Keyboard ISK PT BL BLK US (ISK = island style keyboard, PT = paint, BL = backlit, BLK = black)
698782-001 Island style Keyboard Paint black backlit Win8 - US
From the MSG for this model;
681981-001 Keyboard ISK PT BL BLK US (ISK = island style keyboard, PT = paint, BL = backlit, BLK = black)
Part # 681981-001 is the correct keyboard and this should match with the part number on the existing keyboard. This was the original keyboard shipped with Windows 7. The 698782-001 keyboard isn't listed in the MSG and most likely was shipped later, when Windows 8 was introduced.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Why are my 2 W S X keys only working intermittently on my HP Pavilion DV7 running windows 7?

Hello,
I'm experiencing a bit of trouble with my 2 W S X keys. They only seem to work when they want to and when one stops working, the other stop working too.
The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion dv7 running windows 7 64bit. I can't think of any changes that have occured before the change but was working fine this time last week. Not dropped it or anything.
A note i saw elsewhere said to check if the keys work works in the BIOS. I opened the BIOS and tried the keys in there upon startup. Didn't work. Logged in left it for a bit and then as if by magic it was then working again (enough so to enable me to write this).
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks in advance of any help,
Adam

This is definitely from malware - it happened to me last night and I checked online and found 2 many guesses. I managed to resolve it moments ago - and I'm typing with the same computer / keyboard. It is hard to resolve but here is the link to the virus description (which does not mention the specific symptom of losing the 2 W S X keys). I lost the function immediately, and suspected malware right away: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=TrojanDownloader%3aJava...
So this is how I solved it: I had Microsoft Security Essentials and it was up-to-date. However, it does not find it by itself. Spybot finds something but is unable to fix it - even upon a reboot. I installed Trend free atHome(?) virus scan - it does not find it. I installed AVG full Internet Protection - it does not find it. However, while AVG was running (a few hours) Security Essential found it - just like that! So, it appears that when the malware was adjusting itself to avoid being detected, that it was discovered by MS Security Essentials. I fixed it while AVG was running, and tested my keyboard right away. At first the x worked, then the other keys.
This is malware - not hardware, so please stop telling people to clean or replace their keyboards.

Hp pavilion dv7 notebook numeric keypad not working

The numeric keypad on my hp pavilion dv7 notebook does not work. I can't get the num lock to work or any of the number keys to respond.

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Note: If the keyboard doesn't work when trying to access or navigate the Bios Menu, then this is probably a hardware fault.

HP Pavilion dv7-3069wm touch controls not working

Above the keyboard, next to the power button there was a lit up mute, volume control, and wireless control. At one point the wireless and mute button stayed amber until I did a hard reset. Now they are completely gone. The volume control and DVD controls are lit up white, but don't work. The Quick Launch icon is also gone.
The HP Quick Launch software has been update, but still nothing. I've installed the latest BIOS, but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The laptop is out of warranty.

I have a diferent problem but its also with a Pavilion dv7-3079wm. I bought it in february 9 of 2010 and today when i check the warranty i discovered that was allready finished.
When i have like an hour or hour and a half using the internet or word or just listen music, suddenly the laptop stop working and the image on the screen gets frozen. Anything works and i have to shut down by the power button.
It takes like 15 minutes to restart again.
But if i just started to use it and open a videogame (age of empires) or a program which needs more graphic memory (archicad 12) the computer stop working at 5 minutes.
Does anyone have the same problem??? Someone told me that the video card its damaged on this models, it's that true???

HP Pavilion DV7-6150eb

Best users
My first post here so I hope it's well detailed etc.
I have a HP Pavilion DV7-6150eb laptop and I need to change my keyboard.
Some of the keys are not working anymore (I spil some coca cola on it) and in the shop where I bought it, they said that my motherboard was also damaged.
BUT - my friend has exactly the same laptop as mine and yesterday we have changed the keyboards and guess what ? Everything works perfectly so there is nothing wrong with my motherboard. All I need is a new keyboard.
Problem is, I can't find a keyboard for my laptop... only on HP page where it costs 120 euro... So I was looking for a cheaper one but I can't find exactly the same model as mine.
My question is,
Will a keyboard from HP Pavilion DV7-6150xx series work on mine too? (note the xx, I have eb but I only can find other combinations)
Please let me know if it's possible.
Best regards
Pio

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

HP Pavilion dv7-1020ea Entertainment Notebook PC

My HP Pavilion dv7-1020ea Entertainment Notebook PC is not working properly, can anyone help please?
problem description : After traveling with my laptop I started it without a power supply. It worked ok, but then when I plugged in the power the next day the power light came on on the side of the laptop but the battery power did not stop going down and the computer did not register the presence of a power supply. Once the battery power ran out the computer did not start up again.
Now when I start it the laptop sounds like it is booting up for about 5 seconds before it sounds like it powers down. The lights on the keyboard light up and stay lit, and the caps lock light flashes but nothing happens on the screen.
troubleshooting : I took the computer to PC World and the tech guys plugged it into a monitor and it didn't produce a signal. Also a tried removing battery and power supply and pressing the power button for 30 seconds and it did not work.
Can anyone give any advice please?
Thanks very much,

If the catch is defective, take it back to Wal-Mart.
If there is a program or some back-ground task that's causing the problem, then re-installing the OS with the recovery partition may solve the problem.
Take it to a computer repair store and ask them if they have another drive around that you could try. At least that would tell you if it's a hardware problem.
Most drives come out with one screw.
Also try doing a hard reset. Unplug everything from the laptop and remove the battery.
Hold the power button down for 60 seconds. Only plug the adapter back in (do not install the battery at this point)
Boot up and the next time you shut right down, install the battery. Do not install the battery in sleep or hibernation mode.
I'm thinking a hard reset may stop what ever weird function or program that's causing the problem _ assuming that is the problem.

HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when setting volume

Hi
I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez, and when I change volume using the volume touch-slider on top of the keyboard, volume is adjusted accordingly but no volume indicator appears on the screen.
Previously, while setting volume, a speaker icon with a slider popped out in the middle of the screen showing current volume level.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and both Windows Update and HP update shows that I have latest version of software. Also, I've the latest version of the BIOS installed.
As a side note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and wireless enable, etc.) stopped working a few days after the volume indicator disappeared, I fixed that by plugging off power and disconnectiong battery for a while. Still, the indicator is yet not showing. Not sure if this is related (I guess not).
Thanks

The Volume OSD is a function HP MediaSmart Menu. It will need to load on start up. To do that, go to msconfig, and make sure it is checked under the Startup Tab....

Pavilion dv7 2060ez tv turner problem

Hello,
I have a HP pavillion dv7-2060ez that I bought in Switzerland years ago, and back then I was able to watch dvb-t without any problems with HP media smart tv.
I'm now in Greece and media smart tv can't find any digital channels. I've tried with windows media center tv too and it finds many channels but I have no image, just audio.
What can I do to be able to watch TV as I used to with my pavilion?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Krimomo. The HP MediaSmart Internet TV service has been terminated. Here is the document that I found regarding this matter.

As far as Windows Media Center TV is concerned, I am not sure what factors are involved with this issue. Could it be a PAL setting? Do you have additional hardware involved (ie. converter box)? I would recommend going though this next document thoroughly for the setup.
