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.

Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64

Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64. Bought it new from HP.com in October and it has never worked.

Hi,
I belive that action OR f5 is for the backlit keyboard, not the touchpad. For the touchpad (my machine is also a dv7-70xx) you need to touch the switch (rapidly twice) which is on the left corner of the touchpad. The following image shows where is the light (yellow circle) and where is the swich (red rectangular):
Hope this helps.

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.

Replace touchpad on Pavilion dv7

I have a Pavilion dv7 4150ea, which has one of those completely unusable (by design) touchpads - very difficult to click, curser jumping around the screen etc.
I see that the new dv7's have a revised touchpad, with proper seperate buttons which is said to be much better.
Is it possible to to get hold of one of the new touchpads and put it into my laptop? Wil it fit and will the driver work etc? Does anyone know the part number of the revised trackpad?
Thanks

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.

DP-K

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 dv7-3170ez: 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....

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?

Huffer wrote:
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

Hp recovery manager pavilion dv7 windows 7 64bit not installed correctly

I'm trying to reinstall Recovery Manager after a hard disk replacement. I have a HP Pavilion dv7 4060si running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I've downloaded sp45602 and installed it. It did not install properly. When I went to the SwSetup/sp45602 folder and clicked RecoveryMgr.exe I got a message that a DZIP32.dll file was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Then I got a message that HardDisk.dll was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Then I got a message that PRRC.dll was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Now I get a message in Turkish that translated by Google reads: Recovery Manager driver failed to start. To apply you will need to reinstall.
I've deleted the SwSetup/sp45602 folder, downloaded the sp45602.exe again and gone through the same process to get the same result. What is missing from my software?

Did you resolve this?

Looking to replace keyboard for Pavilion 500

I recently purchased a Pavilion 500-164 PC and I hate, hate, hate the keyboard. Where can I find a list of compatible keyboards for this desktop so I can upgrade?

Hi,
Logitech has many good keyboards, mice and combo wireless mouse/keyboard. They are compatible with all desktops and laptops. I bought 3 sets of wirless combo mouse-keyboard and the battery can "live" for 3 years (mine are 2 years so far). They have many but I bought the following set

How to replace keyboard, HP Pavilion G60-235DX laptop

Weak bass on brand new Pavilion dv7-7012nr

This new machine arrived today and I'm finding it to be exemplary is just about every way except for the sound. I realized it's a laptop and acoustic "space" is limited but I feel like I may have something set incorrectly due to the nearly complete lack of bass. Either that or perhaps there is some problem with the hardware itself. I didn't expect it to be loud but I did expect it to be balanced. I know the sound will be fine with headphones or through my high-end USB converters and studio monitors but I must say the direct sound in sorely lacking. I have hunted around for settings and adjusted the equalizers but it's still pretty wimpy. Is there something else I need to do?
BTW, I have also experiences the "volume dips" mentioned in another thread. I hope that is also something that can be cured somehow.
Thanks for any thoughts!

I did finally find the Beats Audio controls and have done some bass boosting there too. Still seems weak though.
