dv2500 .backlighting (dv2840se) does not work.

I am NOT at all informed, PC... But that's my problem: I can vaguely see the login page. I can fill my password, click on and then see the icons appear in the left margin. But I can't read them all because the lighting is too low. Pressing the key backlight doesn't do absolutely nothing. Is it possible that I can avoid CHARGES from $299.00 I was quoted. ? Being retired and on fixed income doesn't make any easier.

Sounds like the LCD backlighting is indeed there.  Check your warranty to see if HP can replace them for you.  The guarantee can be verified here:

http://www13.itrc.HP.com/service/ewarranty/warrantyResults.do?admit=109447627+1286541891570+28353475

In the meantime if you have an external monitor you can use it as a workaround for now plug it into the laptop and pressing fn + f4 for a current keyboard layout.

Or if it is out of warranty, you can try to order a replacement LCD screen and pay out of pocket for this and replace it yourself.  You can find the service manual for your model on the HP site and then use the schemas provided in it as a plan for the replacement process.

    Generally speaking, you're right, but I guess you know that Toshiba doesn't support Linux, so you shouldn't think twice before buying for Toshiba laptop. If you want to have the right piece of hardware you buy Toshiba again but with Linux, you're on your own.

  • Satellite C850D-107 - screen does not work

    Hi, my first post here and need help please.

    I have the laptop above and last week I had 3 dead crushed inside my screen bugs, so I searched google and found some info on how to clean them.
    I took the screen and then carefully carried the front end, giving me access to the rear led? I cleaned the bugs and as I thought carefully back together, when I started the laptop backlight as does not I had thought broke I bought another exactly the same thing and put in, but its doing the same thing.

    The screen works but no light, so, any help would be great. I know there is no converter in these so what could the problem perhaps, cable the screen? I can't help LOL.

    Thank you, Wayne.

    > The screen works but no light
    I guess the backlight module does not work. Now quite sure if you get a defective screen or perhaps display isn't compatible/certified for this unit but the fact is that the LED backlight are simply connected with a LED backlight cable and there is no other modules which would impact on the functionality.

    So I think that you should simply try another display unit

  • Tecra A4: Display backlight does not work

    Hi all

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I came across a dilemma. My sister laptop screen broke (baby) and it was far from always being in warranty and we had not assured him. So I bought a new screen for it and it mounted fine. When I turn on the laptop, I can hardly do anything on the screen as if the backlight does not work.

    I see that it is there, it's just very very dark. I thought this would be a problem with the inverter. So I bought a new one of those too, but alas, it still does not. I can do all things beautiful to display on an external monitor via the VGA port.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you once again

    Hello

    I understand you want to save money, but especially help the technician is most recommended as repair by yourself.
    In any case, as mentioned, you should be sure that the cable has been connected in the right way.
    You must connect the LCD/FL cable to connector LCD/FLand connect the cable to connector HV HT. Place the module LCD, the FL inverter board in the correct position.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite U920T - function keys does not work after update to Win 10

    Hello, good morning / evening...

    I use (U920T satellite) and recently updated my Windows 10 Tablet
    but after that, the function keys, volume, brightness, key FN and even the backlight does not work anymore!

    I tried to restore the system and update the driver software but nothing has worked...

    I use these keyboard shortcuts all the time and now it's really hard without them!

    What is the problem? What should I do?

    The problem is that U920T satellite is not listed as Win 10 support unit and, therefore, drivers earn 10 Toshiba and software that controls the FN keys is not released.
    But as far as I know using the FN keys, system of Toshiba and the Support of Flash Card Utility driver must be installed.

    For all Toshiba units win 10 supported, the drivers can be downloaded from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Maybe you can try the drivers released for other models of portable Win 10 supported...
    I'm not sure if the software will be compatible with your model of U920T, but its certainly worth a try...

    I am owner of the Toshiba Portege M800-105. Everything done his work. After 2 months working on it, my sensitive touchkeys exposed next to the POWER button does not work. After that I uninstalled 'Vista-value-added-package' everything works correctly. Why? Now my FN keys do not work or are disabled. Why?

    Hello guys

    This is really strange. I put t really know what happen on your laptops. The fact is that these buttons are controlled by the software. If I remember well he called support Button or a button control and she is part of the package of added value.

    VAP contains several different tools and utilities. When you remove the VAP, it will be removed the responsible application of the functionality of FN (Flashcards), and this is the reason why the FN doesn't work anymore.

    So, theoretically everything should be OK when you install PPV again. Again theoretically. Why you still have this problem I put t know and I don t believe that no one can say for sure. Maybe some registry entries are corrupted now? Who knows?

    I presume that you don t want to use a more radical solution and do clean install of the new OS, but it can certainly help. With own OS pre-installed (factory settings) everything works well again.

    In the end, I must say that I use Satellite U400 (similar to your Portege) almost 6 months now and all the buttons work correctly. I always use the Vista version and I n t made no changes. It works well.

  • The button on my lockscreen does not work on my phone. Recently, my screen went completely black. I can turn on siri. How can I get my screen to turn back?

    My 5 IPhone lockscreen button does not work so I use touch help to the screen power off and screenshot. As I was using my phone my screen went completely black. I tried to plug it into a charger and call but the screen still won't turn. My phone vibrates when I call and I can't turn on siri. I tried to search the Internet on how to re-enable it. Everything I've seen involves using the screen lock button but obviously I can not use it. How do I reactivate it?

    Hello tumbler3100,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that your iPhone screen is returned while you were using it and the on/standby button does more either. Because your iPhone is always vibrate when you call and you are able to use Siri, it seems there is a problem with the backlight on your iPhone.

    Because you have a separate hardware two related issues going on with your iPhone, I suggest putting your iPhone in an Apple Retail Store or Apple authorized service for an assessment of your device provider. More information about these options can be found in the following link.

  • Satellite L300 - 1-5 - the screen does not work

    Recently, I encountered a problem with my laptop, the screen does not work.
    I tested my inverter of the screen and my backlight lamp to see that if that was the problem, but they both worked perfectly, I then tried the entire screen with the parts and that worked too. (I tried in my friends Toshiba Satellite L300 - 217)

    Then I looked around online and got told to try to connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either. So now I'm stuck, I have tried everything even made sure all connections aren't loose etc but it still does not.

    Anyone know what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hey Buddy,

    > connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either.
    This means that the internal monitor is ok and the reason must be the graphics card or card mother herself.

    I guess for now, you get only a screen empty and nothing happens on your laptop?

    In this case, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Just get in touch with the guys and ask for help. They can check the cell phone and fix it! ;)

  • Satelite P50-A-14F - Caps Lock key does not work

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • Keyboard backlit Y500 does not work after installing Windows 7

    Got a y500, love, installed Windows 7 (experience challenging, but glad I did now that it's done). Everything works like a charm, EXCEPT the backlight on the keyboard. By pressing FN + space does nothing. The keyboard does not blink when starting upwards, either.

    After repeated calls to the line of Lenovo, the responses I get are simply: we don't know why the keyboard backlight lights with Windows 7 installed.

    I don't want to go through the hassle to put Windows 8 on just for the backlight.

    There must be a way to activate the backlight of the keyboard while running windows 7. Lenovo, can you please go to the top of the chain of command to those who are working on updates of pilot and see if there is a way to make it work? Or tell me if I do something wrong?

    TL; Dr: keyboard backlight worked while Win 8 has been installed, put win 7 on, is no longer works.

    I would check the cable connections, the most likely problem.
