HP 15 laptop: problem with the touchpad and the key "stuck."

Hello!
 
Last weekend, I have an irritating problem with my HP 15 laptop. Bought two years ago and upgrades to Windows 10 a year ago.
 
First of all, my touchpad started to not work properly. It "freezes" and I can't use it until I click the ESC key, but it doesn't last and "freezes" again a few seconds later. Then, everytime I open a window where there is a text box (Start menu, edge browser, Control Panel, etc.), the number 5 is entered automatically and permanently, as if the button 5 has been blocked. I did a quick check and button 5 do not seem physically stuck.
 
Yesterday, I restored the system to the factory settings, so I'm back to 8.1 for Windows and then upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seems to work fine, but this morning, the problem was back. Is there something I can do? What is the problem caused by Windows 10 or the computer? Should I restore it to Windows 8.1? Everything worked great til last weekend, I don't know what that was.
 
Thank you in advance for your help!

Welcome to the HP support community @gouch3.

I understand that you have a problem with the keyboard and the touchpad on your laptop from HP 15.

Have you tried to use a keyboard external and mouse at all?

Have you tried to go to Safe Mode to see if the problems persist in there?

Have you tried to perform a material or forced reset Reset?

Did you do a test of material?

Have you updated your drivers?

It could be a driver problem to be able to look at that for you, I need your model number. I wish I could give you an answer or not, but at this point without the troubleshooting results and the model number, it is difficult for me to say.

I can say that if everything works in point 8.1 of Windows without problem, the driver TROUBLESHOOTING is a great place to start. Please try to follow these steps for the keyboard and the touchpad of troubleshooting:

  • Beginning
  • Search for Device Manager
  • Search results, open Device Manager.
  • Click on display
  • Show hidden devices.
  • Click the arrow next to keyboards.
  • Right click on the name of the keyboard device.
  • Select uninstall.
  • Continue deleting the names of devices in the category keyboards until the feature of all the names have been uninstalled.
  • Restart the laptop twice.

Touchpad:

  • Type of research, "Device Manager."
  • Click on Device Manager,
  • Expand mice and other pointing devices.
  • Right click on the TouchPad,
  • Click on uninstall.
  • Restart the computer laptop twice,
  • Reinstall the TouchPad card.

I found a document of troubleshooting for you to try also called Portable keyboard troubleshooting. Please be sure to follow the steps described in this document.

The best document I have for TouchPad problems is the use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad document. 

Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that need to put up-to-date.

This is a great question other clients may also be questioned. When we came to a resolution, please share what has worked for you with others by marking this post as an acceptable Solution. If you want to show appreciation for my efforts today, please take a second to click the Thumbs Up button below.

If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you. Please re-post with the results of the resolution of the problems. Could you please also provide your model number (How can I find my model number or product number?)

Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    You can consider a charge of BONE, that something can be a problem with your OS BB given what you describe. But first, please try safe MODE:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, run for awhile determine if behaviour will or will not return. If it is then in safe mode, then you should proceed with reloading the OS. But if the behavior does not work in safe MODE, then well... think about what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    To perform a reload of the OS, here are some process, you can use:

    At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

    From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try this procedure might limit the specific causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  • Problem with the function keys

    Hi a few days ago my computer did an automatic update of windows.  This combination of time keyboard shortcuts in my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 have changed.  For example, ctrl + any Fkey and shift-several different keys do not work.  Some commands are not options in games keyboard assignments.

    Is there a way to restore my original keyboard settings?

    Thank you...

    Are you sure that Windows Update caused this?

    Restore your computer (by using the system restore) to a previous state - before you install the updates and see if it restores the 'fn' and other features with FS 2004.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084 (assuming you are using Windows XP, because the game is compatible with XP and legacy OS)

    If restore fixed the problem with the keys on the keyboard and FS2004, manually install the updates one: after the installation of each update, restart the computer, try to play the game and check if the problem reappears at all.

    This, until you have installed all Windows updates.

  • Problem with the first pro effects controls

    Hi, Merry Christmas;

    I have a problem with the keys with the opacity effect in the effect controls panel. the following pictures I think make my problem more clear to understand:

    view of raft opacity control.png

    The picture above shows that the opacity of the element of gopro correction control is 100% unless I drank too much champagne, or fully visible on the screen!

    I want to do a transition effect showing the raft, which appear in the window of the following image, which is an Indian granary above the Colorado River.

    My video of the attic I zoomed up to the window they give the impression that enter the attic when I arrive at the moment I start, with keyframes to have

    inside of the attic without an opacity of 100% to 0% at the end of the clip attic. Unless the new champagne is very bad for my health and vision, I would then see the river

    and the raft! Well I did not and it gives me nightmares! What is the problem? I add that having a zoom smooth and regular, I used the effect time remapping in the video for attic.

    The clip of attic is just above the clip from gopro correction and he overlapped by the duration of the selected dissolution of the shown in the image below (I could of course use a resolution here, but I want to save money on an additional effect)

    view of granary opacity controls.png

    Here is the view with the screen and the opacity of the element of attic at 25%. Normally, the clip of the raft must be visible then! the orange-red to the right of the screen is inside wall of the attic!


    view with screen at 25pct opacity.png

    Thanks for your suggestions... Claude

    Sorry guys, I found the reason. My fade is too short! I had put 2 "to fade and seems not sufficient due to the element of the upper layer time remapping effect! Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  • Satellite A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

    Hello!

    I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

    I tried many different solutions to this problem.
    I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
    When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

    I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
    But I have no idea where I can find something.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

    Hi mate

    I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
    Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

    So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
    The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

    But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
    Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!

  • Satellite A660 - 07P problem with the pointer of the mouse using the touchpad

    I just bought my A660 07P last Thursday, September 15, 10 and I noticed that I had problems with the mouse pointer using the touchpad.

    From time to time, the cursor/pointer is locked and seems something like a button up and down.
    I assume it's because it's on a mode of waiting, but in this case as every 5 minutes.
    When it is locked, it will also change the zoom percentage when the touchpad is struck. It is very not when I'm in the middle of something and I can not move the pointer. In addition, the start is very slow.

    BTW, I have not installed any programs or applications. I'm still testing until Friday, otherwise I'll go back to where I bought it.

    Hi mate

    This isn't touchpad problem.
    I guess as support for computer laptop MULTI-TOUCH PAD
    There are a few additional features supported by touchpad, and I think that you have enabled this while using the touchpad

    The touchpad supports the features:
    _ChiralMotion_
    You can scroll vertically and horizontally

    _Pinch Zoom_
    This feature provides functionality like the scroll wheel zooming

    _Rotating (chiral spin) _
    This provides gestures to rotate the photos and other objects

    _Momentum_
    This feature provides a smooth, fast trackball as the movement of the mouse. A quick finger on the touchpad surface can move the sliders in the entire screen.
