Stiff Touchpad-HP laptop G62-371DX model

just bought HP laptop G62-371DX model and I found out that the touchpad is not working well.  It is stiff. I have to hit it hard before it works and it freezes quite often
Is that normal?

The touchpad connector may be loose, which requires the laptop to be sent away for repair. Before you go that route, try installing the driver update here. Then restart your notebook and see if it makes any difference. You may want to also fiddle with the sensitivity in the touchpad settings to see if that is the case.

  • Working on my laptop g62-340us

     well I am still here after all the carefull thought ful thinking about how I was going to repair my own laptop well my keyboard finally arrived and I was reinstalling it and finally found the unit wouldnt even turn on with battery power and traced that problem to battery which actually two dead cells no wonder I thought Ill just get a battery from batteries plus and install it myself and not wait for shipping of a hp battery and the unit almost worked it ran for 40 minutes looking just great and all of a sudden it failed video was gone black screen I had to remove everything to begin the old divide and conquer method if system isnt required for computer too run eliminate it and thats what i did but you need control of mouse in order to instruct machine if you do get it going  and there it was by removing top to get good ventilation computer worked I spent all day figuring what to do I feel like I am almost there those tiny plastic sockets are the hardest devices to use when keeper gets pulled why couldnt the sockets all be plug and jack

    The keyboard was not bothering me about static but the memory boards were I attempted to find some kitchen foil to protect my memory boards and finally settled on using metal plate with loose transformer laminations laying on top of memory board to keep any static charge from building up it worked and when socket was repaired the boards were immediately replaced and sockets worked well I also had to remove and reinstall the hard disc the unit once repaired is back to old self accept norton keeps interfering by constant downloading updates which were many for unit has been idle for over a month also the hp support has to be reinstalled

  • Recovery of a Laptop G62

    This laptop is so slow so I want to reset it to the factory settings. On the hard disk there is a partition "D" called Recovery. I found out that you can recover by pressing F11 during start up. Than there comes a screen telling me to insert installation disks which I don't have.
    What's te magic to recover step by step?

    Hi
    If there is recovery partition intact in your hard drive without any corruption, you dont need Recovery discs.
    Back-up your personal data to an external drive if you can. 
    These would help you step by step:
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    OR
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    You can make recovery discs using the steps mentioned in this document.
    If you want Recovery discs, Contact HP they'll send yo one free if you're covered under warranty.

     3:  Founf the LED code chart for the blinks mine appears to blink once and a pause then blink again

     Does this mean the systemboard / motherboard is bad / fried
    Thanks
    Emmersond

    Dear Customer,
    Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum
    It looks like your Notebook has a blinking/flashing CAPSLOCK light and a blank screen all the time
    Whenever the Capslock LED Blinks once that means CPU not functional and we need to replace the Processor
    However, I would request with you to perform the below shown step before contacting HP
    Step 01. Turn OFF the Notebook
    Step 02. Un-plug the Power/AC Adapter and also remove the battery too
    Step 03. Press and Hold the Power Button on the Notebook for a full minute
    Step 04. Test your Notebook with Battery and Power Adapter alone
    Note: If you are still facing the same issue try to remove and reseat the Memory Modules of your Notebook
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

  • Fan g62-452

    I am getting System Fan error 90b on my laptop. I have carried out the following; cleaned out the fan, updated bios, taken laptop apart and removed all dust. 
    Still no avail and it looks like I am in need of a replacement. Can someone please advise where I can get a replacement fan for this laptop in the UK? (the models ive found on amazon etc don't look the same in the pictures as to what I have) 
    Info about my laptop; G62-452SA model, purchased in 2011. The fan doesn't operate correctly, spins a little then gives up. 
    I have removed the fan from the motherboard as I will be carrying out a clean replacement. 
    On the fan itself it says "Replace with HP Spare 638402-001" the fan is Forcecon. 
    I have added images of the fan. 
    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. Would be nice to see if HP provide replacements?
    p.s. not wanting to fork out £30+ on a fan replacement.

    You could try searching on ebay if you haven't already.

  • Getting laptop touchpad to scroll iMAC desktop

    Hello,
    I have a laptop that I use to remote control my iMac. I have tried VNC, but it's way too slow for normal use so I use LogMeIn.
    On my laptop I have a Synaptics touchpad with scroll regions on the right side. When I slide my finger over the scroll region on the touchpad, I get the mouse pointer that shows its trying to scroll. The problem is that the iMac is not responding to the scroll. If I plug a mouse into my laptop and scroll the wheel, the iMac responds properly (it scrolls the window).
    Is there any way to have the iMac respond to the touchpad scroll? I know this works locally on a mac laptop, so they do have support for at least some touchpads (my laptop is a PC). Can I try installing some driver to tell the iMac to respond?
    Thanks,
    -Jeff

  • Is it possible to upgrade G62-361TX Notebook Processor and RAM?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question regarding UPGRADE!

    1. Is is possible to upgrade from Core i3-370M to core i5-470?
    2. Is is possible to add 4BG of RAM on one slot and existing 2GB on the other slot?
    If yes, then will it be giving any problem like over heating, etc., Have the G62-361TX is been desinged to withstand heavier computing if upgraded?
    Thanks in advance!

    Maintenance and service guide for G62 laptops:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02542102.pdf
    Q2: I think so. The service guide says that it's possible for model 1.1 only. Product specs for G62-361tx say that the hard drive is a 320GB 5400rpm and this hard drive is available for model 1.1 only. I think that you may use a 4GB module anyway, the laptop might be upgraded up to 8GB of RAM..
    Q1: Upgrade definitely possible to:
    Intel Arrandale i5–520M Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual Core 35 W pn: 594187-001
    Intel Arrandale i5–540M Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual core 35 W pn: 594188-001
    Intel Arrandale i5–450 Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 613585-001
    Intel Arrandale i5–430 Processor (2.26 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 597624-001
    Might be possible:
    Intel Arrandale i5–560 Processor (2.66–3.2 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual
    Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625824-001
    Intel Arrandale i5–580 Processor (2.66–3.33 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—
    Dual Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625825-001
    Intel Core i5–460 Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35
    W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 626039-001
    I can't tell you which model the G62-361tx is so I would use one of the first 4 processors. They should work at 100%!!
    Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

  • Windows 8.1 install crashed my keyboard and touchpad

    I attempted to install 8.1 last night having forgotten about the warnings. Had the black screen of death this morning. After rebooting Windows reverted to 8.0. But now my keyboard and touchpad arent working.  Says the ps2 compatible drivers arent
    working. Every reboot and driver update I try does nothing. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    keyboard and touchpad arent working.
    Sounds like a laptop?  Which model?  Is there any alternate input you can use?  Touch?  USB for wired or wireless?
    Can you at least use your keyboard when booting?  E.g. get into the Command only boot?

  • Sound gone and now touchpad is gone too! A30-514

    HI Im new here, have a satellite laptop  A30-514   (model psa30e)
    the sound "dissapeared" about two months back,   tried drivers from here "realtek"  they show in the
    device manager as all ok and working,  volume up both hardware and software no mute on but no sound
    in either onboard speakers or via the sound jack.
    Yesterday the touchpad stopped working, the mouse curser is froze on bootup,  cant move it but boot up in
    safe mode and device manager says alps pointer is fine?
    Any ideas folks, Im hoping someone here can show me a way out of this jam,   Im stumped!
    Gordon.

    Satellite A30-514 
    tried drivers from here..
    This is the US Toshiba site, Gordon, while your machine is from Europe.
    All your drivers are here.
    And you probably will get better information by posting in the corresponding forums.

  • Latitude e7450 - Repeating Keys/Debouncing Issue is present in this model too

    Not sure how to get attention to this, as I do not think Dell is aware of this problem since this model was only released a month ago.  The repeating keys/debouncing issue described here  , is present in this new model Latitude e7450 in both bios A00 and A01.  Please make this bug known, so that Dell is able to fix it in a bios update!

    So, I also found and posted in this thread  about the issue with the E7450
    and basically that is the aggregation of all the posts on this repeating keys/debouncing issue on ALL affected models.  Honestly as a developer, I'm pretty shocked at how bad Dell support really is.  I've been lucky enough to never have any hardware issues until now...
    They chose to have a forum for their customer service, fine; that works with many other companies. But they should have at least split the forums into laptop series,by model number, have a bug tracker and paid more than 1 guy to relay issues to the engineering team.. This is ridiculous and utter chaos reading through these threads and it is enough to make me question buying a high priced Dell ever again.  Like many people I went with Dell Latitude after Lenovo created that awful macbook-like clickable touchpad, but it looks like their 2015 models are bringing back hardware left/right click buttons again so that might be my next purchase.
