Locking on the dv7-4165dx function

Hi all.  I have a dv7-4165dx.

The keyboard is equipped with a set of F keys at the top with additional functions for each key, as brightness, media, wireless power buttons, etc.

The F keys are disabled by default.  Thus, for example, if I hit f5 to get a refresh of the web page, nothing happens.  I hold the fn button AND the f5 key in order to get a page refresh.

I wonder if there is a way to lock/unlock the fkeys, so I don't have to press and hold fn with other button?

You can disable this feature by turning off "Action keys Mode" in the BIOS...

Here is the document, which will help you in this... http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02035108

  • Can I set up my HP dv7-4165dx to boot from the second hard drive?

    I got a HP dv7-4165dx for about 20 months now. Ten months in the original hard drive burned due to setting up directly under the GPU (lower left corner, to the left of the touchpad and under the keys), which gets quite hot on the top to make your uncomfortable hand. Symptoms include blue screens, troubled during start-ups, as well as a message from the system at boot that said the car was damaged. As it was under warranty, I brought it to Best Buy to get the drive replaced, which took about 2.5 months.

    Now, about 20 months, I face at the beginning of the exact same symptoms. I noticed that there was a second HDD Bay, away from the GPU, so I bought the yarn necessary to the use of this Bay. Now, he tells me that there is no installed boot drive (the hard drive test in the system diagnostics, knows that it is there). I'm sure that I can swap the drive towards the original Bay and be fine but that puts me $ 75 for the HP kit (Yes, I know I might have to eat that, if there is no way), but much more importantly, this means that I will have an another burned (losing everything, even once) by car a month or two.

    I looked, but I can't seem to find a way to tell it boot from that drive. Is it possible, or am I just out of the eye due to bad design? It has been a great machine, except for this problem.

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no option to boot from the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay in one of the series dv7 - sorry for the bad news.

    Best regards

  • Re: I lost the Flash Card function keys

    Ive lost the flash cards used for the drop-down list at the top of the screen. Tried several different things, including updating the drivers from the Web site.
    At the moment, some of the function keys work ok, IE works brightness, lock - but the wireless economy and the key is more energy.

  • How to table of waveform of input 1 d in the lock with the amplifier

    I have a LabView application that I have to change to include a lock in the amplifier.  The application uses a capture card of data several times to capture a sample of 0.1 s of two signals (one signal, a single reference) in a laboratory test.  Before the measure was made by the base RMS module to record the VRM in the signal, and the reference is ignored.  However, the measures that I am now the scene run many s a lower and so I would use a simple RECS in the kit OR of.

    I am happy (I think) with the configuration of GARLIC but I am struggling to understand the requirement of input data.  It should be an array of 2D, with the identifited of reference signal.  However, the output of the part of the utility that captures the waveform is a table 1 d of waveform.  Could someone advise me on how to convert the table 1 d of waveform in a 2D table suitable for admission to the GARLIC?

    As you may have guessed that I am a newbie to LabView, I try to modify an application designed and assembled by a former colleague, so I'd appreciate simple suggestions!

    TIA.

    You have separated for each signal waveform 1 d arrays, or do you have a 1-d single waveform chart where signals are separate items in the table? If this is the first, you should do something like the code below. If you have a single Bay, then the code would be similar - you could just use a table of unique Index function. You may or may not need to transpose the table 2D. I don't know what waits for the lock in Subvi - channel data by row or column.

  • Smartphones blackBerry - no locking of the keyboard help

    Hello

    I just updated my software for the v50.0.862 (Platform 5.1.0.175) and now I don't have a keypad lock icon.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    If I recall, you have upgraded to the point where the locking functions have changed. Now, the real keyboard lock is the button locking real on the side or on the device... but this is simply a keypad lock and committed is no longer the password (if you have one). If you assign a device password and wish to lock with the password until the expiration time has been reached, you must use the "Password lock" icon which should be on your BB (look around and turn on "Show all" or "Show Hidden").

    Good luck!

  • How * disable * the touchpad power function?

    Hi, I have a craving dv7 and it has a function whereby if you press twice on the left upper corner of the touchpad, it switches it on or off.

    I want to DISABLE this feature, because I'm constantly tripping by accident in the normal conditions of use and so am always disable the touchpad and have to tap twice again to reactivate.

    I looked online and the documentation but have found no way to disable this feature.  Does anyone know how?

    THX,

    Chris

    FYI, I contacted HP Support and they sent me the following, which tells how do.

    If it please click on the links below and follow the steps mentioned in the Web page under the section adjust single and double tapping.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03523373

    Unlike in the image settings window the touchpad in the link above, the settings window of the touchpad on the dv7 want is not an expandable tree for tapping settings, but it has an icon of the gear to the right that if clicked, opens another window of dialogue that has a checkbox to enable/disable this feature.

  • Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

    I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

    Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

    Other file properties:

    -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

    -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

    -Attributes: ATI

    -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

    -No previous versions

    Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

    After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

    I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

    I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

    I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

    I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

    I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

    Thanks again!

    In the previous version, I could pull up to the bottom of the screen locked and the timer and the flashlight were some of my options, as well as the brightness and change setting, if you're going on a plane.  I don't see how more intuitively.  The great thing now seems to have widgets and you can buy, but none of the above are options and those are the characteristics that I used often on my phone.  I liked that I could set the timer when watering my yard without having to unlock my phone whenever I moved the sprinkler.  Please let me know if Miss me just something.
