T440s: No on screen display of caps lock, volume, screen brightness, etc.

Hello all-
I updated the BIOS to 2.26 a while ago and ever since then there's no on-screen indication of caps lock on/off, screen brightness or volume when I change it. Since it seemed to be affected by BIOS, I updated again to 2.27 just now, but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT: Just fixed my own problem. I needed to update the Hotkeys Feature Integration by downloading the utility thingy from this page. Probably wasn't a BIOS thing after all.
Solved!

Hi Brightnsalty,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you were facing issue with On Screen Display earlier on ThinkPad T440s.
And we glad to hear that the issue has been resolved after installing Hot key feature application.
I also suggest you to update Lenovo power management application, if the OS is Windows 7, please update Lenovo Power Manager application.
Cheers!

CAPS LOCK on screen notification

I have a Logitech (support no help) wireless keyboard (s530) for MAC, but I can find no provision for on screen notification of CAPS LOCK (none on keyboard) Is there some way that I can do this similar to the notification that the CAPS LOCK is on or off at log in?

HT4528 how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening. If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen. Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor. Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps. If it does, get another screen protector.

Caps lock on screen display after sleep or hibernation?

Hello, I just got a lenovo carbon x1 and when the computer comes out of hibernation or sleep a symbol that says the caps lock is off appears on the screen for a few seconds. How do I stop it from telling me the caps lock is off after waking it up from sleep or hibernation? thanks

for example, under the chipset section there is a driver for the intel manegement engine that says:10.0.38.1036
in my device manager it says intel management engine driver is: 10.0.30.1054
my thinkvantage doesnt list this chipset as something that needs to be updated. why is it not telling me there are newer drivers to install?

G72-B61NR Laptop screen black;Num & Caps locks blinks; Hard Drive works fine

Hello everyone! I would like to get a solution to a problem I've been having with my laptop; if no solution, then a reason for my problem would be great. My laptop has recently stopped booting up correctly. Basically the screen is black and will not turn on. The NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK LED lights flash a number of times before the computer shuts down. When I turn on the computer I can hear the fan and the hard drive running but no screen. I have been able to take out the hard drive from the laptop in hopes of salvaging important documents and I was able to do so by connecting it to a desktop. Is there anyway to fix my screen and save my laptop? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello soTERRAble, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a blank display with your notebook. I will try to help you with this.
From what you describe this could be indicating that something in the notebook is not working correctly, right now I wouldn't be able to tell you what but can provide you two documents that might be able to identify what.
Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps - this document may be able to assist you with the flashing LEDs your getting when trying to start the notebook. Watch to see if you can identify an error pattern. If you can compare it to the table in that document. This will provide an idea to what may be failing.

Pavilion Dv5-1009el - Black screen and blink caps lock and block scorr

Hi,
I just replaced the motherboard of my pavilion that reported an error as object. The purchased motherboard is new and hp original.
After having changed, I turn on the pc and work fine, i see the hp logo and enter to bios, after I turned off the pc without starting windows.
I inserted the battery and powered on the pc and returns to the old error, the LED of caps lock and block Lock blinks...
So I tried to update the bios from USB using winkey + B. The computer emits two beeps but does not read from any USB port and the LEDs go out for a while and then blink again.
What can I do?
Greetings,
Enzo.

Hi @shmurray,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are getting a blink pattern on the Caps lock LED, when you turn on the notebook. I am happy to help you with this.
I am including the page on the error codes for your reference: Blank Screen LED Error Codes
From that document the pattern you are getting indicates a memory problem. You said that you have tested the memory. What exactly did you try?
The document suggests reseating the RAM or trying a new set of RAM and then restarting the notebook. If you are still getting a memory problem after trying both of those things, ie a 3 blink code again, then it would likely suggest that there is a problem with the motherboard itself, either with the memory slot or one of the controllers related to memory.
In that case I would suggest contacting the technical phone support number at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

If however reseating the memory or replacing it leads to a different error code or message please let me know, Although in that case the following may be helpful if you still have a blank screen.

Pavilion DV6, Black Screen and 3 Caps Lock Blink

HI,
I have an Hp Pavilion DV6 and I am getting the 3 blinks on the caps lock. When I turn on the PC it starts up, the caps lock blinks 3 times and the screen is just black. I have already tested the memory sticks, drain the battery, and hooking it up to an external monitor. Nothing shows on the other monitor and it just remains black. Please help!

Blanc screen at startup / Caps lock blinking 3 times HP Pavilion dv7

Hello,
Hope someone can help me out.
First we received SMART warnings but we were still able to start up Windows in safe mode (took about 15 minutes and the laptop was getting warm). We took the HDD out and connected it via USB to an other PC. We could not read the content and needed to format the disk... did NOT do that. We kept the HDD "origional".
We bought an Samsung EVO 850 250 Gb SSD for the laptop... as replacement for the corrupted one and to upgrade the system. The main battery was removed, adaptor was not plugged in for a couple of days. Today we received the new SSD and installed it... but... the laptop is not starting up anymore! The screen stays completely blank. The F12 is lighting orange and the CAPS LOCK is blinking 3 times.
We've read several articles on forums and tried various suggestions:
- Changed the BIOS battery;
- Several "hard resets":
. removing adaptor and main battery and pushed the power button for 15 seconds;
. Windows, B and power button at startup;
. pressing F8 while booting;
- build the original HDD back in;
- removed the memory and tried all banks in all slots;
- connected external monitor;
- startup via bootable USB stick;
- cleaned the cooler fans (with compressed air spray);
- tried an other AC adaptor;
- tried without the main battery;
- tried to startup with no memory, no BIOS battery and no HDD installed.
Doesn't matter what we tried... after trying every suggestion the screen stays blank and the CAPS LOCK is still blinking 3 times repeatedly.
Anyone any idea what ik can try further? In my perception the BIOS is not loading at all?!?!
Looking forward to read your suggestions! Thanks in advance
Best regards,

Hi there @BerDie13
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are getting a repeating pattern of three flashes from the LEDs. I am happy to help with this.
Check out this page under the section for flashing LEDs. In that you will find that three LED flashes indicates a memory problem.
Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps
Use the instructions on how to deal with that. I am a bit concerned that you have both a hard drive failure and a memory issue, but it is possible that the memory could have been disturbed when you were working with the hard drive. If the reseating of the memory does not help, I would try the memory in different slots and if you have more than one memory module try them one at a time in both slots to isolate which is the problem child. The worst case would be multiple bad memory modules and a defective set of sockets on the board.
Let me know what you find.

Slow blinking caps lock, blank screen

Only had this laptop for a week now, powered it up this morning, hard drive appears to run, fan is on but LCD screen stays dark and the caps lock is slow blinking (no apparent pattern).
The model is: 2000-104CA
Product: LV987UA#ABC
Rev. : 3577-100
Also, I tried removing the keyboard (after the fact) and the video instructions, located here: http://h20574.www2.hp.com/results.htm?SID=5059088&MEID=FAA31BDC-56B6-472D-BA7B-4295B0216628 seem incorrect.
The instructions state to remove 1 5mm P1 screw, then press down with a probe tool in the hole indicated. All I ended up doing with pushing out the "insert" key. I can slightly lift that top side of the keyboard but there is definitely something locking down the keyboard around speaker mute/speaker + function keys.
Can anyone enlighten me about these two problems?

You will need to search Google or YouTube. Even then, you probably wont find the exact model you have. Most keyboard are lastly connected with a very fragile ribbon connector. Its usually 'locked' in with a sliding plastic piece right where the ribbon meets the motherboard.
Again, search YouTube for a comparable video. It might help. Not sure what your inital issue is with the capslock-only blinking, but they do have a code search somewhere on this site. Search for 'laptop diagnostic codes' and you should find something that might explain what its doing.

Chime, Blank screen and weird caps lock num lock behavior...?

So i get the chime, then the blank screen and nothing else except when I hold the num lock or the caps lock button it blinks rapidly. What does it mean?
It's 12 in 1.2Ghz,

Hello,
Hard to say exactly what the problem is without some trouble shooting ...
Try booting in Safe Mode. Go here for instructions.
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Safe Boot is a special way to start Mac OS X 10.2 or later when troubleshooting. Safe Mode is the state Mac OS X is in after a Safe Boot.
The iBook HD may need repairing... here's help with that:
Testing and repairing a disk or volume
When you have problems with a disk or volume, use Disk Utility to test and repair it. Disk Utility also reports the S.M.A.R.T. status, which tells you whether your disk has hardware problems that will cause it to fail.
To repair a disk, you need an administrator's password. If you don't have one, ask an administrator to repair the disk with Disk Utility for you.
You can verify your startup disk with Disk Utility, but to repair it, you must start up your computer using another disk. For example, you can use your Mac OS X Install disk.
In addition, you cannot test or repair write-protected disks, nonrecordable CDs or DVDs, or disks with open files.
Close the files and quit the applications on the disk that you want to repair.
Open Disk Utility, and select the disk in the list on the left.
Click First Aid.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. Status at the bottom of the window. If you can't see the S.M.A.R.T. Status, be sure you selected the hard disk your volume is on, and not the volume itself.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "About to Fail," back up your files on the disk as soon as possible and replace the disk.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "Verified" or "Not supported," click Repair Disk to repair the disk.
If Disk Utility cannot unmount the disk, be sure you have quit any open applications and click Repair Disk again. If it still cannot unmount the disk, repair it just like you would repair a startup disk, by starting your computer from another disk, such as your Mac OS X Install disk.
If Disk Utility tells you to look for links to corrupt files in the DamagedFiles directory, some of those files are overlapping on your hard disk and are likely to be corrupt. Examine the affected files, each of which is listed in Disk Utility's output on a line that begins "Overlapped extent allocation". Most of these files have aliases in the DamagedFiles folder at the top level of the affected disk. If you can replace the file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains necessary information, open it and examine its data to make sure it has not been corrupted.
If Disk Utility cannot repair your disk or reports "The underlying task reported failure," try to repair the disk again. If that doesn't work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat your disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and restore your backed up data. If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced. See an authorized Apple dealer for more information.
