HP Pavilion DV7 laptop: Touchpad, sometimes active, even when the power button is pressed on off (light orange)
I use a wireless mouse (or a wired mouse) preferably instead of the touchpad. The touchpad has a power button to press - white light indicates on and off Orange light. After booting, I usually disable the touchpad and mouse wireless, however, sometimes when you type I realize my palms are contacting the touchpad and the cursor jumps around accordingly. The touchpad is disabled (orange light) but I can control it with a finger, it works like its supposed to as if it is enabled. Any ideas? I have not downloaded a driver updated or do anything to try to solve this problem, as I fear, it could actually cause other problems.
Update the driver it is the usual Council for problems - that is the solution here? Has anyone else had a similar problem. Most of the touch pad problems I've read is in regards to an erratic touchpad - nothing to do with 'on' or 'off' problems.
HI @WayneCM,
Thank you for your inquiry. I will do my best to help you!
I understand that you use the power button / stop to turn off the touchpad. Sometimes, you will notice that your palm is in contact with it and the cursor is accordingly jump around but the rest light orange, to show that he has disabled. Here is a link for HP Notebook PCs - using the touchpad and ClickPad (Windows 10). Please review the section on "Open the properties of the ClickPad" in figure 4, you'll see there's a button where you can disable the touchpad, until you want to reactivate it. Please let me know if this helped.

Satellite C Touchpad Scrolls series / moves when the left button is pressed
Hello
Seem to have a problem with my touchpad.
After about 2 weeks of normal operation, it now only rolls / moves when the left button is pressed.
Had a quick look in the settings but can't seem to get anywhere.Any IDE?
Thank you

It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Maybe this kind of behavior is the result of defective material.
I recommend reinstalling the operating system using HARD drive recovery option and check again with the factory settings. If the same thing will happen again from the first moment he must be a bad operation of the equipment and in this case, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.They can check, repair if necessary and all costs will be covered by the warranty.

Laptop frequently is off and does not restart even when the Start button / stop is held in
I have a notebook dv7-3060us running Windows 7, some mornings (every few days or weeks), I find, powered out and does not. In press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds has no effect. I have to unplug and remove the battery to restart. What happened several times. I tried it with the battery removed, and it fails again, then.
A software problem can cause this? I thought that holding the power button causes a material interruption and the BIOS takes over.
Is there a known hardware problem which can cause this?
Thank you

Hi Sean,.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the steps listed for a hard reset was precisely what was needed to market every day. So, we did about 50 times. The real issue was whether a software problem could cause the phone to require a hard reset every time.
After not getting no response for a few weeks, I have restored your computer from a backup, I made after the update in the first place and then re-set everything. So far, it has remained stable, which brings me to the conclusion that it is, in fact, a software issue.
Kind regards

Laptop does not turn on but the power button is on ip
I just bought my HP Pavilion 360 less than a month ago and it's been used for research and schoolwork. No virus or threats have been detected. It was working fine today until I had to load it. When it was fully charged, I turned it on and the screen just frozen. I tried to shut down by pressing the power button, but it did not work. Now, to just black screen but the power button turned on (meaning it's on). What should I do?
1. don't remove the battery from your laptop
2. just to unplug the AC power from the laptop adapter
3. press and hold the power button on your laptop for 1 minute
AFAIK, this should make the difference
Hope this helps, for other queries in response to the post and feel free to join us again

HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when the volume control
Hello
I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez and when I change the volume using the slider button in the volume on top of the keyboard, the volume is adjusted accordingly, but no volume indicator appears on the display.
Previously, when you adjust the volume, a speaker icon with a cursor jumped in the middle of the screen showing the current volume level.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Update and HP update shows that I have the latest version of the software. Also, I have the latest version of the BIOS installed.
Note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and enable wireless, etc) stopped working a few days after the disappearance of the sound meter, I have fixed that by connecting battery power and disconnectiong for awhile. However, the indicator is still not displayed. Don't know if this is related (I guess not).
Thank you
The Volume OSD is a HP MediaSmart Menu function. He has to load at startup. To do this, go to msconfig and make sure that it is enabled under the Startup tab...

I don't have the password to. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium
Hello:
Please see the manual on the link below, section 1.2 page 1-4.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF
I let the RTC battery disconnected for 30 minutes, not 5.
Five minutes maybe not enough time to evacuate electricity from the CMOS chip.
Check that you start the PC upward with power, only plugged a/c for the first time, or the password is not deleted if reconnect you the main battery.

HP Pavilion 15 laptop: color is washed out and the type is blurry
The color on my HP Pavilion 15 laptop appears washed out. In addition, despite trying several settings on the 'clear type', my type seems to be blurry nd hard to read. I already tried to adjust the color on the advanced settings, nothing helped. For example, if there is a box around this area to post, I don't see it. I am really frustrated and ready to return after having fought with him for more than a month.
After hours of frustration and try to understand what was wrong. It turns out that when the power settings have been adjusted for energy efficiency, it messed with the color settings and text. I put everything by default and which corrects the problem.

Original title: HDMI sound
I know that many have had problems, but I did not mine specifically. My HDMI connection was working fine with my laptop HP and m HD tv. I didn't use it for a while, now it is just the video, no audio on the TV. My reading shows the HDMI as a default device, but the sound is yet to come of the computer laptop, even when the volume is turned off on it. Ive read all the reviews and updates of pilot who was old. I don't know what else to do!

Re: Computer laptop Qosmio F15 does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed
My Toshiba Qosmio f15-av201 does not turn when you push the power button, even if the lights of ac adapter & battery are both on (on). Indeed, the yellow light that is supposed to turn on the power button when the laptop is turned off does not appear. In addition, there is no sign that shows the laptop tries to start when the button is pressed, not even a peep. The laptop was recently dismantled (open) to clean the fans, who made the famous monstrous noise which toshiba qosmios are apparently well known for.
Everything seems to be connected correctly in its correct place. Nothing seems to be damaged. So, I have no idea where I can get out of here. Pending issue.Help will be less appreciated.

I agree with kody. Of course, it is not easy to say with certainty why this happens. Who tore your laptop? Service or only you?
To be honest, I think you did it alone. Have you used maintenance manuals?
