• Pavilion Sleekbook 15-B142DX memory upgrade

  Hello, I recently bought and installed an upgrade of DDR3 4 GB memory for my Pavilion Sleekbook 15-B142DX. It is PNY PC3-10666, chip of 4GB which says it's compatible with 1333 MHz and 1066 MHz I booted the laptop after the installation of the new chip, but reports still 4 GB of physical memory, msinfo and other online tests. Yet once, I opened the computer suspect that the chip was not fully connected. While there, I pass the tasks of the 1st round and the new stick. The computer registers yet only 4 GB of physical memory. Did I buy an incompatible chip or it's probably another problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Paul,.

  I received a HP technical support solution. The chipset you recommended works very well (thanks again). Here is the solution, in case anyone has the same problem with this model:

  (1) I removed the new chipset

  (2) I started the computer and went to menu BIOS setup > Boot Options > Secure Boot (those may not be the exact names)

  (3) switched start safe for people with reduced mobility.

  (4) reinstalled the new chipset

  (5) on the machine

  (6) checked to make sure that the computer record 8 GB

  (7) turned Secure Boot on

  Ensure that the computer has saved 8 GB 8) Made

  Hello

  I want to activate the backlight for the keyboard and I don't know how!

  can someone tell me how?

  Hello

  Looking at the specifications Page for your laptop, it does not show as having a backlit keyboard.  If the HP documentation is incorrect, the f5 key will normally be to toggle the backlight On / Off - see image below.

• Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b142dx: failure on Pavilion Sleekbook keyboard

  This laptop starts to the Windows 8 logon screen, but I can not enter a password because NONE of the keys work.   Have also tried using an external USB keyboard, but it is not known, perhaps because the BIOS of the feature is not enabled?  I can't start the BIOS so that it is because the keys ESC and function do not work as well.  The mouse works fine.

  I thought to order a new keyboard, but what happens if the problem is with the keyboard on the motherboard controller?  I have no way to test it.  Any ideas?

  Hello:
  
  In this case, you could replace the keyboard. If you are under warranty, contact HP.

• 15 - b142dx downgrade Windows 7

  I am trying to downgrade a Windows 8 (HP Sleekbook 15-b142dx) laptop to Windows 7, unfortunately I was not able to find the SATA drivers to do successfully. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be very appreciated. Please and thank you.

  It shows well in mine... that first of all, I have to go and get rid of all partitions before you start on the hard drive.   I would check your bios definition also I think that there is a protection measure in there I can have changed before I inserted the windows disc.

• Pavilion 15-b142dx keyboard some keys not working not

  A friend gave me their 15-b142dx sleekbook Pavilion, apparently AFTER they spill some type of liquid inside. I was able to start the computer, however, there is still a problem with the keyboard.  When the keyboard is installed in the laptop, several of the keys do not work. However, when I go out (and hang with some plastics) it works fine.  I disconnected the ribbon cable and took little alcohol to clean the area. I was also able to run HP diagnostics on the startup, short and long versions and they come back ok.  In addition, I connected an external keyboard and it worked fine. I searched the forum for this type of question and do not see. If someone has had this problem, or I'm looking to replace the keyboard?

  I am currently running windows 8.1. I don't get any error messages, but I noticed that HP does not have a litmus test of keyboard in his diagnoses.

  Hi there @MrKen99

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that some of your keys do not work, after that little liquid has decided to make an unwanted visit to the Board of Directors. I'm happy to help you with this.

  In my sordid past that I've seen some really messed up keyboards, due to things like, coffee, cola, water, whatever. My most memorable was someone who gave me a computer that has been used in a kitchen and was close to a deep Fryer, and the keyboard was not only covered with oil and fat, but a generation of fuzzy dust throughout the keyboard upwards. In this case, I have recommended a replacement as the cost to clean it was more expensive than a new one.

  In any case, it sounds as if you have already tried to clean it up, but if you do not jump off the keys to delinquency / inactive, the contacts could be "sticky". Make a note of the keys that are the problem and treat them individually. This document shows how to remove and replace the keys on a standard notebook keyboard.

  Computer keyboard laptop troubleshooting (Windows 8)

  If you don't have any success doing this then I would look at the keyboard, or by using an external keyboard replacement. If you choose a replacement you can check the service manual for it, and it will give a list the items supported.

• Sleekbook 15-b040sl: AC adapter blinking white

  I have a sleekbook of 8 months 15-b040sl running Windows 8, which has never given any problems so far.

  Today without changing anything (I was not even plugged into the laptop from the AC) the light on the adapter ac (the one that becomes) orange when the battery is under load has started flashing white with the pc is turned off. BTW, the battery is connected.

  I turned on the PC and the light still flashes white, but so far, the PC seems to work fine without any error message or anomaly.

  I'm still worried about this flashing light, however, I wonder if there is something I can do to solve this problem, or at least to understand what caused it, and if I should send it using techniques.

  Thanks in advance for the help

  EDIT: I doubt that this can help, but just in case.

  white light flashes once every second, but remove the power cord, while the laptop is alimented by the battery and turned off, causing the light to stay lit for 35 seconds and off for 25 seconds. If I turn on the laptop with the battery Cordless it flashes once every second

  Hello @Iaaf ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that the power of entry on your laptop light acted funky lately.

  I took a look at your products user guide and found the following information on the power adapter light:

  • White: the power adapter is plugged in and the battery is charged.
  • White flashing: the battery has reached a low battery level.
  • Amber: the power adapter is plugged in and the battery recharges.
  • Off: the computer is using DC power.

  If the portable computer is running on battery and charge not the adapter light will blink white. If the adapter will flash white while the adapter is connected, this could be a sign that the adapter is not charging the battery. Have you noticed if the battery icon in your task bar shows that the battery is supported or not?

  You may need to perform a hard reset:

  1. Turn off the laptop.
  2. Disconnect the power adapter.
  3. Remove the battery.
  4. Press and hold the power for 30 seconds.
  5. Re-connect battery.
  6. Reconnect the AC adapter.
  7. Turn on the laptop.

  You can also test and calibrate your battery. You can see information about this operation here: test and calibrate the battery (Windows 8).

  Let me know if it helps!

• HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en: upgrading memory on ENVY 4-1000en

  Hello

  Since I have some basic computer knowledge, but I want to be sure before you go for it, I need your advice.

  I have a HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en and I have recently upgraded to HDD and the OS.

  I think the upgrade of RAM have, as far as I know that you need 2 memories of the same type, so I guess I can't buy an another 4 GB right?

  Do I need 2 x 4 GB of DDR3 memory, of the same type to make it work? For example they would work very well

  http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-high-performance-sodimm-memory-upgrade-kit-cmsx8gx3m2a1600c9 ?

  Finally the upgrade memory requires any other configuration after plugin in? Is a format for example?

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  The following link shows the specifications of your computer:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03362810

  It has 4 GB of RAM now. The question is 4 GB in a dwelling or in the two slots (2 + 2).

  b in the case of a home, you can just buy another 4GB with SAME part/characteristics of the EXISTING RAM and install in the second slot.

  (b) if in 2 slots (IE 2 + 2), then throw them both and buy 2 new sticks 4 GB each. Agin use even care.

  You don't need to format RAM. Moreover, we have only to format HDD/SSD but not RAM. And Yes, push in the two slots must be same same specs even marks to be able to get all the benefits.

  Kind regards.
