EliteBook 850: Have keyboard backlight by default

As it is now, the backlight for the keyboard on my EliteBook 850 lights as soon as I press a key. Very well at night when it is dark, but not necessary during the day.

Of course that I can turn off the power by pressing fn + f11 2 times - the first press decreases the light half, but I often forget to do it later in the day.

Now if by default it is turned off, only one notice it not having no not this light very convenient timing where it darkens. It would be so throughout the day off.

As most of us use our laptops during the day--or at least begins to use it when it's daylight - it might be a good idea turning around: have this off backlight keyboard by default.

It is turn on at startup the laptop - or waking hybernation or sleep and after recharge - is good, even during the day, because it reminds this convenient feature, so we don't forget we have it. But after that he can stay off until we delibarately turn on.

In case one the beginning she behaves this way, I wish you to know...

Unfortunately, there is no way to do it. Possible only by FN + F11. There is no light sensor so it won't be automatic. Now until someone made this feature for HP to press FN + F11.

  • HP EliteBook 850 G3: The HP EliteBook 850 G3 Bios settings

    Hello

    For the moment, we have a problem with our new business laptops (HP EliteBook 850 G3)

    We deploy our systems with SCCM 2012 R2 (Client: windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit)

    In the task sequence, apply us our image, install driverpacks, change the bios settings and a few general settings.

    The deployment of the HP EliteBook 850 3 works fine, but there is a problem with the settings of the bios.

    Our steps are as follows:

    1 clear possible Bios passwords (works well)

    2. set the Bios password (works well)

    3. apply the settings of the default Bios that does the following.

    -Change the boot order (works well)

    -Activate the TPM (works well)

    -some other default settings that all work well

    After the settings are applied, the system will restart.

    After the restart, there is a quick called Tpm Ppi

    A Configuration change has been asked to clear the TPM on the computer

    WARNING: Compensation erase the information stored on the TPM. You lose all created keys and access to data encrypted by this key.

    Press F1 = accept

    Press F2 = rejection

    In all our other models it looks like parameters the following parameters:

    Activation of embedded security policy
    F1 at startup
    Allow the user to reject
    * No prompt
    TPM activation policy
    F1 at startup
    Allow the user to reject
    * No prompt

    TPM activation policy
    Allow the user to reject
    * No prompt

    I can't find this setting in the Bios of HP EliteBook 850 G3.

    We do not want the BIOS to Prompt for the F1 after activating the TPM module.

    I hope there is a solution to do this, cause our systems don't deployment without pressing the F1 key during the task sequence.

    Hello

    Please check that you use the latest version of BiosConfigUtility.exe (4.0.13.1) and that laptop computers are running the latest version of the system BIOS (1.04).  This should fix the problem.

  • Is it possible to install the keyboard backlight?

    HP dv7-4296nr switch the keyboard backlighting of the installation? Because I'm working often in the night, so it is very useful for me, but the current keyboard has no backlight, and I don't want to use an external light to connect via the USB port, because it is very distracting.

    http://h20574.www2.HP.com/default.htm?lang=en&cc=us&hpappid=psml

    Access your model as seen in the screenshot.

    When you get to the video section, click on "Keyboard" in the left column, yours is very easy.

    Make sure you are connected before you click on the video link.

    If the link or the video does not work, let me know and I'll post a bunch of screenshots.

    At this point, you don't have to remove the real water for the keyboard to the motherboard. Everything we do here is to determine whether there is a connection on the MoBo for the backlight cable.

    Look at the pictures of the backlit keyboard by ebay, the connection on the motherboard will coincide with the end of the keyboard cable. Note that the cable for the backlight is a separate cable and is quite small compared to the main keyboard cable.

    If there is a cable, and when it comes time to unlock the ZIF connector to remove the keyboard, be very careful not to damage the connector.

    The video is very clear, and if you follow his instructions that you have no problem, nothing should be forced. Make sure you and the main keyboard cable is properly aligned before blocking the paw of the ZIF connector.

    If the ZIF connector is damaged to the point where the cable will be locked down, he condemns the whole motherboard.

    If you don't feel able to do it yourself, then a repair shop can do for you. The procedure is very fast, so it shouldn't cost too much, it will take them only a few minutes to inspect the MoBo to ensure that the connector is there.

    You can also find out if the seller has a return policy, just in case.

    ______________________________________________________________________________________

    I had a quick glance and I found a picture of your mother board where the backlight cable connection should be. The screenshot shows where it should be, converted red (boxed). If there is no link here, then you're out of luck.

    The connection will be similar to the connection of touch pad just below.

  • EliteBook 850 G2: SimplePass absent of the software recovery disk

    Hello

    First of all, I don't know if I post the question in the right place, and I apologize if I'm not.

    I bought the laptop with windows 7 and received two CDs with it, one for install windows 10 and the other to re - install the software that came with the computer.

    I used a program before moving on to Windows 10 * that has been activated with my finger, saved my passwords, and I was able to connect to my windows with the fingerprint account.

    After the upgrade to windows 10 and install all of the software contained in the software recovery disk, I can't find this program.

    This software should come in the recovery disk? Why is it missing? How can I get that again?
