HP Elitebook 8440p - Mute button works but blocked on orange.

Recently bought a refurb HP Elitebook 8440p and noticed that although the mute button works the key just above the keyboard is always orange. Is it possible for me to correct it so that it shows orange only when on mute and green when not cut?

  • Mode standby of the blackBerry Smartphones Mute button worked, but no more

    Hello!  I was wondering if someone would have a suggestion.  For the first two or three days I got my new curve, the mute button has worked well and put the phone in sleep mode.  I could have hit a set or changed something, but it no longer works.  The mute button himself works for the phone when I talk.  It is not just putting the phone into standby mode.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Thanks to a suggestion from another user solid, it turns out that make a hard/soft reset (remove the battery for 30 seconds) solved the problem.

  • For some reason, Firefox is not saving my WHOLE story. The back button works, but I can't open recently closed tabs, save the tabs for previous visits or discovers even of the history - it is simply not there. Why my computer won't save the history?

    I can navigate backward and forward in a tab, or in the session browser, but as soon as the tab or the session closes it is like all the record is erased from my computer. I don't know if the problem is my computer or firefox, but it doesn't seem to be anything like this mentioned there and I would really appreciate the help.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Mute button DV7 quick launch is not working properly. He puts the speakers muted but don't turn yellow.

    Hello everyone.  This is my first post on this forum.

    I have a Pavilion dv7.  Since the beginning (Vista) the QL Mute button wouldn't change to orange when the speakers muted.  I've upgraded to Windows 7 and it still doesn't work.  At one point HP automatically suggested an update of a certain type.  Installed and the button worked.  My hard drive crashed and I just installed a new updated one, day of Vista to W7 once again, done all updates offered.

    But the same problem is back!

    Does anyone know what I need to update to make it work?

    Thanks DP - K,.

    I solved it by installing ' HP full support ", ran the" Tune up"and by installing recommended drivers."  The problem has been fixed, but there was no mention of the QLB' in one of the names of driver updated!

    Sorry, I don't have to try your solution, I'm sure this would have worked too.

    Thanks again for your response.

  • HP Stream 11: Mute button light flow HP 11 does not not in Windows 10

    I bought 11 HP notebook PC flow two weeks back. It comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and the sound and mute button on the keyboard has a light (Amber) which worked perfectly. After the upgrade to Windows 10, muted light was not lit. Is it a hardware failure or a problem with Windows? The mute button works fine, but the amber light is not brighter. The light caps lock lights up well.

    Please consult about it. If it's a hardware failure, then I can replace my laptop for a newer version. (I'm still in the warranty period).

    MODEL: 11-d023TU (written back to laptop)

    I restarted my 11 flow, although Brown light layout mute. I don't know what caused it lights not not before, but it seems that a simple reboot can solve many problems.

    Everything looks good so far!

  • EliteBook 8440p; DM1-3020us: 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3L works in Pavilion DM1 but not Elitebook 8440p? But both are supported than 1066 MHz RAM

    I have two Elitebook 8440p PCs that both run an Intel i5 520 m (although one of them has a discreet Nvidia NVS 3100 m, while the other does not and use the integrated graphics card Intel).

    I also have a Pavilion DM1-3020us with an AMD E-350 APU; It's the only other PC I own which takes SO-DIMM DDR3 modules.

    I just bought this Crucial DDR3L 1600 MHz 2x4gb hoping to use it with the 8440p without the graphics from Nvidia:

    http://www.BestBuy.com/site/crucial-2-Pack-4GB-1-6GHz-PC3-12800-DDR3L-so-DIMM-Unbuffered-non-ECC-lap...

    However, it causes crashes and BSOD as soon as he tried to start under Win7 64 bit on both 8440 p PCs.  Also when trying to boot Linux Mint 18 I empty a kernel panic, and run Memtest86 + just leads to restarting the PC within seconds.  Yet, I can navigate through the BIOS throughout the day and it will continue to work very well...

    But here's where it gets really weird - the RAM works perfectly fine in my laptop DM1 Memtest86 + and Win7 64 bit (I use it as I type this).  What's curious?  Because both the AMD E-350 and the Intel i5 520 m only support up to 1066 MHz RAM!

    The only thing I can think is that there is something wacky where RAM is unable to operate at 1066 MHz at 1.5V or is not able to run at 1.5V to all E-350 1.35v support (and 1.5V RAM so that the i5 520 m only supports 1.5V) which itself would be really strange that Micron (which actually manufactured the RAM) States on their website that their 1.35v and 1.5V RAM have actually the same die (a bit like mobile i7s quad vs quad I5S Office) and that both can operate at 1, 5V, implying therefore that the 1.35v product is simply a higher binning:

    https://www.micron.com/~/Media/documents/products/technical-note/DRAM/tn4114_ddr3_1_35v_1_5v_compat...

    Crucial live chat support, however, closed several hours for the day, so I thought I would at least make this post in the meantime.

    Hello:

    Please see this thread, and the discussion that I posted in this thread... and you'll have your answer.

    6550 b has the same chipset as the 8440p.  I posted the link to the site from NewEgg for the memory, you need to buy if you live in the USA/Canada in the discussion that I've referenced to the other person who had the 8440p.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634#M335108

    There are several discussions on this issue if you want to find even more.  Everything is solved by specific G.Skill memory I posted.

    The extent of why it works in the dm1 and not the 8440p, the chipsets are different.  The Intel chipset in the 8440p doesn't support voltage DDR3L.  Comparison of AMD and Intel chipsets are like comparing apples and oranges.

    I also believe that the chipset amd in the dm1 is more recent than the chipset in the 8440p and promotes low-voltage memory.

    I have just return from memory and use the gift card on something else.

    I doubt that Best Buy has this specific memory.

  • Mute function button works only on Satelite A660

    Hello

    I couldn't do the button mute to work. The flight of the up/down button, the toshiba buletin Board, play/pause, wifi and eco button works. I couldn't find the software that controls the function keys. Does anyone know how to configure it? Previously on my old Satelite M50, there was a software toshiba utility that allows users to configure each button.

    I found that the Toshiba software utilities help button, but not the Mute button. I found the TBSsoundMute file in the Progrm files/Toshiba/SCT/and clicking on the file makes the mute sound. How can I associate the button mute for the file? The only thing that happens when I press the button mute is the buttons all light which I think is related to the Dimmer.exe software.

    I managed to work the button replace the Dimmer function with the software of mute, now mute button, but the dim buttons not now. I don't know if it is the default settings. Is there a way to mute and dim at the same time? So people will know it mutes and dims.

    You can set the key Mute or Dim.
    The two of them at the same time is not possible!

    So I think the thread is answered.

  • Qosmio X 870-14 M - mute button FN does not work

    Hello

    I have problem with mute button only, all other works very well. When I push button nothing happens. Funny is that when I close Wifi key first, the key works put on mute for a short time, but that the judgment.

    Please you have any idea how I can solve this problem.

    Hello

    Do you mean the Fn + F11 key combination?
    AFAIK the FN + F11 mutes the sound from the laptop

    Fn + F12 activates and disables the internal Wi - Fi and a Bluetooth module.

    Do you need to press the FN button to use the function key?
    You can configure the key operating mode by selecting the mode of special function or Standard F1 - F12. This would use the function keys with or without the extra FN key-press.

    I also recommend the application of the function of Toshiba key.
    You can find it in Desktop-> Desktop Assistant (in the task bar)-> utility tools & -> Toshiba function key

  • MUTE button suddenly does not work

    I have a sl410 with windows 7 Home premium pre-installed and all the multimedia keys worked very well.

    After a few updates (driver lenovo and windows), mute my button does not work.

    Because I use Hibernate instead of shutdown that I can't say precisely what update caused this problem.

    A strange thing is that when I turn off the sound by the control of its use in the system tray, laptop mute button lights! But by pressing the button on the laptop has no effect.

    Lenovo update program says there is no update for me.

    Any suggestions?

    I solved the problem myself, but I don't know how!

    First of all, I used the recovery DVDs to restore windows. I saw "running windows for the first time" and all but the problem was still there. So I tried to downgrade my bios to 1.30 (it was 1.31) but I have found the bios file (thank God!).

    But after a few updates from Lenovo (power management, audio colleague and...) the problem was gone.

    Now everything works.
