ProBook 4535s has bad keyboard

 HP Switzerland not fulfill warranty requests & not answer customer's respective faxes?
ProBook 4535s, keyboard 646300-BG1
1) keyboard inversion. Most character and number keys are reversed. Caps lock works reversed.
2) The cursor keys [arrow] while inside text mark the text while moving. Correct marking is impossible.
3) Dedicated arrow keys enter numbers into text  or in parts of drawing when the object move over a text containing other object.
4) Two click keys operate wrongly or not at all.
5) Character keys turn into function keys, calling all sorts of menus, some of them I did not even know these exist (even in notepad ascii editor !!). Note this is not an ALT+ matter. The function keys change to something else.
6) Windows menu key not working, with some luck computer can be turned off using the touch pad only. Else using the power key the hard way.
NOTE: VENDOR HP SWITZERLAND FAILED TO PROVIDE KEYBOARD WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD. They never answer request.
Win7.

After about 12 times trying to get the typing box display (includes closing down forum) I am finally able to see my typing on the hp-controlled screen, as hp finally diplays the textbox.
I went to the business forum. General impression is HP having a problem with keyboards for about 10 years. I could not find a single solution for any of the products mentioned there. Complaints remained unanswered.
Just to update for anyone who might be interested:
A) Cursor marks unwanted, cursor introduces numbers into t8ext. Check your pr4ose!
B) aa changes to AA and 88 changes to ((.
C) Then it gets worse: Keys change into functional, style of ALT+something. Enter windows appears which I have never seen anywhere else.
3 depth of trouble removal, open most simple editor for this:
1) press ctrl+shift, check displayed symbols in editor.
2) wipe the keyboard with your full hand, never mind the symbols shown in editor or the accoustic response of the system. Finish with ctrl+shift. Type and check displayed symbols.
3) Shut down, remove power and battery. Restart.
To not repeat trouble long term avoid spending money on HP, their service is nonexistent.
Period overview: 2007 to 2014.

  • Hp probook 4535s 16 GB support

    Hi
    I bought today HP probook 4535 with the following configuration
    AMD quad core A6
    16 GB of RAM (upgraded from standard 4)
    Ati Radeon
    750 GB Sata
    Guy from customer support says that this PC in his tech. specifications has support for 16GB but he isn't sure if system will be stable. My question if someone here works for HP or knows information I'm looking for to be polite and tells me if this notebook can support 16GB of RAM. I need alot of RAM for my work and I want to be mobile.
    Thanks for reading
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Then I am in doubt too as the specs from only 2 months ago state max is 8 GB.
    Edit:  Hopefully it will work then.
    I have found other HP pc's where the specs stated max memory was less than supported by the chipset and installing the chipset max worked.
    I have an Elitebook 6910p. Chipset is Mobile Intel 965.  Chipset supports 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of PC2-5300 memory.
    HP specs state max is 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB).
    I installed 2 x 4GB of PC2-6400 and it works just great with 8 GB. Memory downclocked to 667 Mhz.
    So, maybe you are in luck too.
    Please post back and let us know if 16 GB works.

  • Bad keyboard causing random lockups and not allowing booting up?

    Will a bad keyboard, or keyboard port, make a computer lockup and keep it from rebooting? 
    I have a slimline s3200n that has been having random lockups.  When I try to reboot it, it gets stuck at the startup screen (the one where you get the F9, F10, etc options).  I can hit F9 for hours and the computer does nothing.  I have to do another hard shutdown and if I wait for a little bit the computer will start back up again.  Will work fine, then randomly lockup and go through the cycle again.
    I tried to run the Hardware diagnostic utility but it gave me an error, didnt write down the exact error, but it was a timeout error while gathering hardware information.
    I am using the keyboard that came with the computer and I do not have another keyboard to use for a test.

    I have this exact same issue, and am wondering what to do. I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and am using 10.4.11 as software. I have a Dell monitor. Anyone have any thoughts?

    I did Hotmail help and their response was ''''I advise you to optimize your browser. If you have a browser that’s not Internet Explorer, you can visit its Help section.''''
    How do I optimize Firefox 3.6.12?
    or what other suggestions do you have

  • My exported 2015 iMovie file has bad quality.

    Hello.
    I just got a new MacBook pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  Using iMovie 10.0.7 (the latest version to my knowledge.)
    I realize that this question has been beaten to death all over the internet, but I haven't made any headway STILL.  I just completed an edit that looks AMAZING in iMovie, and when I export it, the file is very distorted.  I'm exporting at the highest quality (1080p) and the file ends up being 8GB (8 minute movie) which I would think a big file like that would produce good quality.
    I'm stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Here's the upload (notice the distortion and grainy-ness during motion, again looks AMAZING in iMovie.)

    iMovie file has bad quality.
    hmmm, really?
    I pick up a scene ...
    <click for fullsize>
    This is a 'killer' for any encoder! Those ultra-soft gradient in the sky shows no banding!
    Not to say: superb! Compare to a less encoded version:
    <click for fullsize>
    you see? THAT is bad quality! Tons of banding in the sky...
    ... post a scene, which doesn't fullfill your standards …
    btw: what camera in use? settings? a GoPro I assume, those 'cinema' settings?
    PS: you let YT play it in as 720/1080? ....

  • Sound stuttering Probook 4535s

    Hello, as a HP longtime fan, I bought HP Probook 4535s (LG856EA#ABU) 2 weeks ago. With Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1.
    At first I think that audio sounds was perfect, but after few update packages, which came with HP Support Assistant I think, my sound started to stutter (it feels like computer freezes for 0.5 -1 seconds). It started with youtube.com videos, i thought it was because of Adobe flash. After that sound started to stutter even in Media Player, VLC player and few games which i tried.
    Is it  hardware or software problem? Do i need to change my computer? It is disappointing to buy business notebook with such a glitch after few days of use.
    best regards

    Hi,
    The stuttering sound problem seems to be related to the new power assistant software either uninstall it or uninstall it and install an old version

    It almost seems like a framework bug. I get the feelling that the framework is getting maxed out with this form, and acting weird in all kinds of ways. But we are not really seeing any errors in all the logs.

  • Ipod touch has bad battery and suddenly turns off

    Ipod touch has bad battery and suddenly turns off but only works when its on a dock with speaker...
    any advice on what to do, because i am thining of getting the battery replace

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

  • On v880 : "metadb:  has bad master block on device"

    Hi,
     In my production environment I have a v880 server.  While I was trying to replace a bad disk I had the
    message:   metadb: oradb1: has bad master block on device, when I ran the metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5 
    I can not find any information on the internet. Also, I have seen the thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/1918834, which is very old.
    According to the thread I have to split all the submirrors and create the mirrors again. That is very difficult for me to do it, because I have mounted volumes.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Panos

    OK - after talking with a very knowledgable/helpful guy in Sun's storage group, the problem is solved. It turned out that since the new disk had a different DevID, the mirror did not get correctly restored. The solution was to do the following (note: d23 is the slice where I was trying to create the state db):
    # metaclear d23
    # metadb -a -c 2 c1t11d0s7
    # metattach d3 d23
    He also referred me to doc 73132
    Thanks Dan!
