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.

  • Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

    Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == A week and a half after i installed Fox Filter. ==

    Hello Steve.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • My HP ProBook S-series laptop touch pad mouse does not respond to me

    My touch pad responds to my tech guy, to my friends, but not to me!  It's like my fingers don't work on it, regardless of the pressure I use or the part of the pad I touch.  Other than getting a new set of fingers - which in itself is problematic - what can I do about this? Has anyone else had this problem?  It's brand new & this was a problem from the get-go.   I had an old Dell latitude D600 & it worked fine for me.
    Please help!

    Well changing fingers is no easy task so I think we better find another solution. Have you tried other fingers? Also make sure the touchpad has not been locked by firmly tapping the top left section of the pad. This is how you can quickly enable or disable the touchpad.

  • IPod touch 4th gen doesn't respond to touch

    I just dropped my iPod touch 4th generation, and it stopped responding to touch. I have no idea what happened. the top half works, so i can listen to music still, but thats all i can do. if i put my thumb sideways in the center of the screen and push down hard, it works. there was already a small crack in the top left corner, but i doubt that has anything to do with it. All suggestions help and are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or send it in to Apple. See:

  • Touch Pad Top Row Not Responding

    Hi All,
    After struggling through the last two disastrous software updates (one of which nearly got caused me to propel my iPhone through the wall) now the top row of touchscreen icons is no longer responding. Fortunately this problem doesn't extend to the email screen (yet) but it seems like it's just a matter of time. Of course the phone is no longer under warranty so fixing the problem will cost me $200 (un-ironically the cost of a new 3G).
    I've read the support recommendations for this problem and restored, reset, restarted, cleaned, etc. The top row of icons remains essentially unresponsive. To say that I'm disappointed is a vast understatement. My boss has a 3G (his 2nd unit because the 1st was a dud) that he's about to take a hammer to as well. I hate to leave the Mac nest but I also need this device to work properly and reliably. Does anybody know which of the competing devices works best with Mac?

    Wow, I'm having a similar problem. Only mine has completely incompacitated my phone because the top row of the passcode keypad are the ones that are dead. So I can see when someone has tried to call me but I can't get past the lock on the phone.
    Even worse, when I try to use the emergency call feature, the bottom row doesn't work, and that of course contains the "9" in 911. Not even helpful there.
    If anyone has been able to fix this, please let me know!

  • IPod Touch turns off, doesn't respond...

    My iPod Touch will randomly turn itself off and I have to restart it, it takes about 10 minutes to restart and work again. This CONVENIENTLY started RIGHT after my warranty ran out. Any answers or anyone have the same problem?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    restore your ipod "as new ipod" and don't use the backup to copy your data back. Make sure to transfer your purchases before you start.

  • My Hp touch smart with Windows 7 premium randomly loses all printer drivers.

    My new system will Randomly drop all  printers.   I don't think it matters if its wired or wireless through the router.  when I  try to print it says that there is no printer installed.   When I go and look in the control panel there are no drivers there.   Sometimes I can close the program (usually quickbooks) ,and when I reopen the software it will work fine.  Other times I have to close everything and reboot.   Often I will have printed something just a few minutes before with no problems and then all of a sudden nothing.  I don't have time to shut down the computer and restart it every third time I want to print something.   I don't know how the drivers disappear from the controll panel an suddenly reappear on restart.  I have also had an error that there was no printer spooler whenI tried to reinstall after tehy were lost the first couple of times. 
    Thanks for any help.

    just to verify.   My main printer is connected by USB to my computer and the driver still disappears when this problem occurs.
