HP G62-451SA notebook: replace a laptop computer key HP G62-451SA

Hello

I had to remove one of the keys on my laptop and now can't put it back on! Ive been online and on youtube, but nobody seems to be able to advise how to replace a. It's just one of the standard buttons and I have all the parts. I can't seem to be able to get help from HP because I am out of warranty

Can someone help me please?

Thank you!

It is extremely hard to do and even harder to explain how do. You must first get a mental picture of how the key is attached and how to build media bit (I call them the 'bridge') under the key. I just spent an hour doing this Saturday on one last model G62 and it has not been easy.

This is useful, if not precisely there:

I just often say xxxx it and buy a new keyboard for $15 on the theory that my time is more valuable than that.

  • Hinge replacement laptop computer key

    I was wondering if a hinge replacement key would be covered by the warranty of the computer.

    Usually the guarantee does not cover keyboard damage. It is considered damage inflicted to customer. However, you can try to argue your case with the call center people, because each case is different. A replacement keyboard is probably under $ 30 and it is very easy to install. I'd do it before I tried to talk about HP in coverring it.

    Hello

    The error code will be a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

  • replacement screen for computer laptop dv6t - b 6, 00

    I have a computer laptop dv6t - b 6, 00, product # QJ926AV.  Maintenance and Service Guide shows two difference replacement screens, the 665334-001 Brightview display and the anti-reflective screen of 665335-001.  That it would be OK for my laptop?

    Here is the service manual that you already have:

    Manual

    See page 30. The problem is that the "anti-Glare" is a higher resolution screen and also needs different data cable from the motherboard to the screen. You can install a screen on any system dv6t - b 6, 00 but you also need the correct cable and a cable replacement makes it a little more difficult.

    The second problem is that you have a generic model number that designates a custom order machine in order to have a type of display based on the model number.

    Whenever you replace a laptop screen the ONLY way to serve to have replaced dozens or even hundreds, is to remove the Panel before you order a replacement. Buy the screen based on the manufacturer designation of screen at the rear of the Panel not the model number of the laptop. In this way: 1. you are sure to double dog of compatibility; and, 2. You can shop a variety of panels and get the best possible price.

    the graphics chip is separate or integrated.

    My cq71 crashed and stopped working continuous overheating by weak graphics.

    so ive decided to spend the whole motherboard.

    but I need to know to or if I could spend graphics.

    I have already upgraded to the ram for the future graphics card integrated.

    also additional guides on how to pass map main would be apprteciated.

    No RAM, but you would like to install a better processor, too. Look at the manual for CPU options. They will be pretty inexpensive at this stage. You should also another radiator/heater unit to work with the different video chip. But it adapts to your chassis. The only way to look at this case if you do your own work. Otherwise, the cost will approach the price of a new laptop computer. Even do your own work that you will probably have to spend more than $150.

  • laptop computer starts in safe mode, can't backup recovery, system used retore help

    My laptop starts in safe mode, I can't make systems, backup files recovery failed, do not have a vista disk to run vista, need help

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • I downloaded iTunes on a new laptop computer and he allowed. First of a süden, I can't sync my iPhone 6. What can I do?

    I downloaded iTunes on a new laptop computer and he allowed. All of a sudden, I can't sync my iPhone 6. What can I do?

    If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

    1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
    4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
      C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

    To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.

    • USB Bus controllers
    • Imaging devices
    • Portable devices
    • Other devices

    Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

    Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support Apple version of the above opinion.

    If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates. 64-bit users might also try the build replacing iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) which is sometimes a useful workaround.

    Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

  • to replace my laptop HP HARD drive... help!

    Hello...

    I have Hp 2000 - 2202 you series Notebook.

    I'm a difficulty as to the compatibility of the current HARD disk with the following drives: -.

    1)WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB computer internal laptop hard drive (WD5000LPVT)

    • The Interface SATA 3.0 Gbps
    • 8 MB Cache
    • 5400 RPM spin speed
    • 2.5-inch form factor

    2)Seagate Momentus 500 GB internal laptop hard drive (ST500LT012)

    • 2.5-inch form factor
    • 5400 RPM spin speed
    • The Interface SATA 3.0 Gbps
    • 16 MB Cache

    (3)internal hard drive WD Blue 500 GB laptop computer (WD5000BPVT / WD5000LPVX)

    • 2.5-inch form factor
    • The Interface SATA 3.0 Gbps
    • 8 MB Cache
    • 5400 RPM spin speed

    I get a 7200 RPM drive, but if you buy one of those, get one with 16 meg cache. It will be more efficient. Western Digital and Seagate are now or will soon be the same company. Portable hard drives now come in versions 7 and 9.5 mm. Of 7mm are necessary to Ultrabooks and other portable thin and 9.5 mm discs do not fit into a slot of 7mm, but a 7mm disc can be used in place of a drive of 9.5 mm. The connections and the mounting holes are in the same location and the thin disk rises just a bit lower in the caddy.

  • HP15-g088ca: HP 15 laptop computer purchased less than 2 years ago. Broken hinge, display cases of separation. HP, please help.

    My son uses his laptop computer HP15 home to his office, rarely transporting.  He never gave it and a sweet user.

    The left hinge seems to be broken / defective, and separates the window.  For now, we are all leaving the screen open all the time, but it's a little awkward and the problem is certainly on a laptop less than 2 years old.

    Looking at the forum, it looks like a common problem.

    We are fans of HP in general, so I hope that this problem can be solved.

    Help, please.

    -Steve

    Hooray!

    HP solved the problem free of charge, including shipping in both directions and repair.

    It took ten days in total, and we used the laptop without a problem for about 10 days more.

    It seems that the hinges for laptop and the display case were entirely replaced, and no data has been lost.

    My son is thrilled to have his laptop in return, and to my eyes, HP just went through.

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HP product, although I confess in the hope that:

    (1) HP manufacuring no longer uses defective parts

    (2) HP treats everyone with this problem of hinge with the same care

    Thank you and HP support HP!

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 - failed to start the laptop computer just orange light

    OK, so this is what happened:

    While my friend was working on his laptop computer that she had his charger plugged but it did not load. I discovered that the lead from the Charger AC/DC had frayed and should resolidering. After that the laptop was working fine, I looked inside the laptop to check the AC plug connector before I fixed the cable.

    I noticed that the WiFi card was broke, so I changed it to a WiFi card in my other laptop used. After back the laptop together and put the battery in, the lights on the front flash blue only and the power light stays orange as if the laptop is in stand-by mode. I can hear the hard drive turns and the CPU heats more CD-ROM drive works, but I can't start that the laptop just sits there with the Orange.

    I tried out the CMOS battery, I took out the main battery and just used the AC/DC adapter, but the same thing happens.

    ANY IDEAS?

    Hello!

    I'm not sure, but what happens if you remove the WiFi card you created in? The new card is may be defective or not compatible with the laptop.
    You can start without WiFi card?

    To me, it looks like a hardware problem and your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop. Maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced or something else
