FN-lock on dv6-3050eo
I bought the new model of the dv6 series aluminum.
I formatted the hard drive to get rid of all the stuff pre-installed HP.
I wonder how to (UN) block the fn key?
I want to be able to use the F1 - F12 keys as usual and when I want to change the brightness etc., but now it is the reverse, press fn.
I've also downloaded all the drivers from hp.com the reinstallation of windows.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

HP Pavilion dv6-6108us: why HP has locked my product key?
I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop HP using ISO available on Microsoft site, as my current Windows became defective after 5 years of use (Note: this laptop was purchased with Windows pre-installed). To download the file, I need to check my key product of Windows 7; which I documented. However, after you have submitted the information, I received an error message indicating that Microsoft has a problem with my key. I contacted Microsoft Support and they told me that my product key has been locked by the manufacturer of my computer (HP).
I have no idea how the have unlocked, and I don't know WHY it was locked, but I'd like to be able to use my existing key to do a clean install of my OS... I am aware that this laptop is old and out of warranty, but it was perfectly fine until recently. So, what reason is there that HP would lock my Windows 7 product activation key and how would I be able to use it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello
First of all, you can NOT use an OEM Key Code to activate a retail installation. You need the OEM of Windows version. In this case, you can contact HP in your country to order a set of recovery.
Kind regards.

Pavilion dv6 - 7013cl - black screen with caps lock led flashes constantly at startup.
The laptop was running hot. I cleaned the dust from the fan area. The battery is bad. I checked the voltage on the charger that was 43v - bought a new charger is 18.5 v. I wiped the ram and started with one and moved to different positions. I have now a black screen with the cap lock key blinks blue continuously and the f12 key led light ceases to orange. Any suggestions what I should try next and which snaps the seeing Cap continuously flashes means - that is a code or have a meaning?
According to the message that you have recently published, I want to confirm that this could be a hardware problem and I highly recommend to Contact HP immediately technical support by phone for further assistance immediately to get your Notebook diagnosed and repaired by an authorized HP Certified Engineer

Hello
I have a HP Pavilion dv63090si running Windows 7 x 64. I use a number of diacritical signs and diphthongs and usually use the ASCII or ANSI of these characters values. I do not have an obvious Num Lock key on this keyboard, and are not of letter keys designated as keys to use with the fn key (which I have used in previous laptops). How the hell can I get these characters in text documents? There is a lock (requires a password or your finger scan to continue) key but it doesn't seem to be a Scroll Lock / Num Lock key is.
Thank you

Hi again,
Thank you for the information on your laptop. I just wanted to be sure that you did not have this key on the keyboard.
There is another solution to your problem. You can remap any of the keys on ' num lk ' key.
I recommend SharpKeys 3.0, because it is free and very easy to use software.
How you will be able to come back to this key used to do?
You need only to remove the entry from the list in the main window of SharpKeys and restart the machine.

I missed a setting?
TIA

Try substituting a different, and possibly on a different channel strip. Powering the Acer while you do your tests.

DV6-6b90se: the bios recovery
Hello there please help!
How can I recover BIOS when corrupted and
White screen; Caps lock will blink twice every 2/3 seconds with the orange wireless button.
My laptop is HP pavilion dv6 (dv6-6b90se)
I see. You will need to take the PC to a specialist to a computer repair shop. He could give you close to your problem. He will take the chip from the BIOS of the laptop and write a new BIOS on the chip and then soldered to the motherboard.

Hello SuperMario1,
Thanks for your reply.
The last thing I did, remove the CMOS battery and after a few minutes I plugged it.
Then plug in the power adapter and press the power button / stop.
Laptop starts but gives an error message'The CMOS checksum is not valid, the BIOS will be reset to the default configuration and will be rebooted.'
Finally, laptop starts normally. It works very well...
But same problem when I restart
"Caps lock shift white blink screen 2 times all 3/4 sec.
So finally
1 remove the CMOS battery and after a few minutes I plugged it again
2. connect the power adapter and press the power button / stop
3. laptop starts normally (with one identical to the previous error msg)
4. upgrade the bios to F.29 (previously I had F.24)
5 Everythings works very well (start/stop have no effect)
