HP Pavilion dv6 keyboard works not properly

Hello

I use a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop running Windows 7 for about a year and a half.  Recently (I can't say exactly when) I noticed that my keyboard does not work properly.  There is nothing huge, but sometimes I have to push a button twice before she will comply, or it will be delayed in its response.  Another thing is that I originally used to have to hold the function key and press the space bar at the same time turn off the light that surrounds the touchpad. Now, I just simply press the function key (not now) and, no matter how many other keys I press on in the meantime, the next time that I press the space bar, the light turns off.  It's both distracting and frustrating because I need to press the space bar to operate normally.

My drivers are all up to date.  I tried to remove them and reinstall them. I changed a few settings in the Bios, and then reset the default settings, all to nothing does not.  I would appreciate any idea or you guys can offer me solutions.

Thank you!

Hi El Nacho,

Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6 and keyboard problems. Here is a link to uninstall the keyboard. Restart the computer after the uninstall, it must be reinstalled automatically.

Have you tried to take a little air to the keyboard to see if maybe it's dust or debris which initially are intermittent use?

Thank you.

  • Lenovo x120e keyboard works not properly

    I have a Lenovo x120e, I bought a couple of years. Last Friday, I started to have problems with the keyboard. The first question was that the computer was save my CTRL key was pressed continuously. A single reboot did not fix this. However, by using the onscreen keyboard, I could get the computer to recognize possibly CTRL key was indeed not and my keyboard seems to work correctly again.

    However, from Sunday, I started having new problems and have not been able to solve. Specifically, the keys g and h do not work (although sometimes, if the onscreen keyboard is up as well, they will register as 5 and 6, respectively). Other keys around the Board work not (apostrophe, 5 and 6, some function keys). The on-screen keyboard works perfectly fine, as does a USB keyboard (I currently use).
    I tried the following, and none of them have helped:
    (1) virus and malware scan - nothing came (analysis complete, not just "fast")
    (2) check the performance of the equipment (an OEM utility) - no problem
    3) updated keyboard driver
    (4) uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard driver
    5) restore to a restore point Windows before initial issue last Friday
    (6) restart in Mode safe without the attached external keyboard - same keys always had the same problems.
    So now I wonder if it's a hardware problem or a software (driver or OS) one. As I see it, my two possible options are:
    (1) If a problem with the hardware, at least try to clean and if necessary replace the keyboard
    (2) the software, wipe the computer and reinstall Windows. All my data is stored externally, while it would be annoying, is not a major issue to do this.
    I want to just make sure you choose the right course. Someone saw in which of them is most likely necessary remedy. Or if I missed a possible way to fix this without one of these last ditch effort, I would be grateful for more information.
    Thanks to you all.

    Hello Andrew,.

    I would agree that it's a hardware problem. At the same time, if you want "good" do an OS reinstall, you have nothing to lose but some time and effort.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200 keyboard works not properly

    I had my Toshiba since last May and have always had a problem with typing capital Mr. every time I do it and it happened I typed may, it moves all the following letters anywhere in the previous text. Touch typist I find it particularly annoying as it's often two or three paragraphs before I noticed it happened. It is very very annoying because I have to type a lot slower that I normally would alos.

    Someone else has experienced this specific problem? If so, what can you do to solve it? I tried to use a test version of Windows 7, but also other types of software am so confident enough, it is not a software problem.

    Looks like you need a new keyboard. Go to a SPA and ask for a quote.

  • Satellite L750 keyboard works not properly

    I bought my laptop in January 2012. A month ago the tabulator ceased to operate as more of the letter keys. Whenever I use the CTRL key, it sets the zoom so I have to reset.

    I connected an external keyboard, but still he has problems. When I use the SHIFT key when you type in some websites I am firm on the site. Right now, I'm typing this notebook in and I'm going to copy in the forum of the site because everytime I try to use the SHIFT key to type an uppercase letter I started on the site. Very frustrating.

    Anyone else have these problems? And I would have thought that the keyboard should last more than 13 months. My laptop is still under warranty for this problem?

    Hello

    If you have the same problems with the external USB keyboard then I have to say that probably this issue isn't associated with defective keyboard.

    Have you checked if that occurs after the system has been recovered?
    I recommend you test notebook with factory settings.
    If the problem still persists, ask the Toshiba service approved for the verification of the material point. In the worst case, it could be a motherboard problem

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: help! HP Pavilion laptop charger works not properly.

    Hey!

    My laptop charger is malfunctioning. We all know that if a device is unplugged and use it permanently, it will possibly miss fees.  If the problem is when my charger is plugged in, it do not charge the cell phone or laptop to run out of charge instead it neutralizes the battery and allows him the same percentage it is (46% will remain as 46%).  I just realized this problem last month, but I don't know what is the real problem. If this is the problem of the charger, it wouldn't charge or neutralize my battery at all. It is more likely that the port of loading is the problem but at the moment, we don't know.  What can I do?

    (2) in the battery method control compatible ACPI Microsoft operating system device drivers could be damaged.  See the image below.

    Call the Device Manager.

    Uninstall the driver from the power adapter plugged. Ignore the warning.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

  • Manual lens correction works not properly.

    I am trying to correct the perspective of an image in lightroom or in the vertical and horizontal manual lens corrections are not working properly, they are extending to the image in a weird way. I used these cursors repeatedly but I don't know why sometimes, they stretch the image. Here's a video that shows the effect of cursors: Lightroom: manual lens correction works not properly - YouTube. I would like your opinion on this is that you know how I can solve this problem. Thank you

    Controls LR Vertical and Horizontal Correction lens are designed to 'fix' the perspective distortion. What is the perspective of "normal"?

    Normal lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Lenses wide angle move the vanishing points more far and telephoto lenses get the close.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_%28photography%29

    LR Vertical and Horizontal controls use the focal length and camera metadata from the image file and adjust the image based on its effective focal length. A goal of 200mm if on a 1.5 crop body factor has an effective focal length of 300mm, resulting in an extreme telephoto perspective. That's why you see more "stretch" the image when you adjust the Vertical control, with a focal length lenses below)<>

    The image file video YouTube has vertical converging vertical very light, slight clockwise rotation and distortion in light pad. You should be able to correct the image for parallel verticals with small values of Vertical and Rotation adjustment. I suggest using "Activate profile Corrections" (profile tab) to fix the small amount of lens distortion.

    So always questions please post the image file on Dropbox or other filesharing site and I'll take a look. Thank you.

    Then go to the Panel control, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, language bar tab and, if you regularly change language settings, make the hidden language bar.  I think you have touched a keyboard shortcut that has hired it & changed the region / language settings and therefore caused this problem.

    Then go to control panel, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, advanced settings tab key where you can see the key sequence of shortened which probably you entered this problem by chance. You will also see the sequence of modifier keys that you want to change by clicking on the button sequence of modifier keys and by setting the input language switch & switch keyboard to not [when I changed them, I had to define not entitled for the switch input language and accept change, and then return to the dialog box to set no affect for the keyboard switch setting].

    The best way is to restore the operating system to the factory delivered one, so it shouldn't have any problems with the NB.
