Model of HP laptop 15 15-d038dx: some keyboard does not - model 15-d038dx

I spilled coffee with coffee (a sugar) dye on my computer laptop keyboard the other day and now some of the keys (t and y for example) no longer work.

I tried to disassemble my laptop and clean the keys if possible, but I can't understand how to access the keyboard. Is their a video or written instructions on how to do it?

If cleaning does not work, I want to just replace the keyboard, but I'll still need to know how to access the keyboard. Help, please.

Thank you!

    Helder salvation,

    Did you of recent changes made to your computer?

    We will reinstall the internal keyboard drivers and check.

    a. click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, press enter, click System, click Device Manager, click on keyboard.
    b. you should find the internal keyboard part as well as any external keyboard used.
    c. right-click on the keyboard integrated in the list, click on uninstall.
    d. unplug the external keyboard.
    e. restart the computer and check if the keyboard internal works.

    Since the external USB keyboard works, if drivers did not fix the internal keyboard problem, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer to check if there is a hardware problem.

    Hope the above information helps.

    Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
    the mic input is enabled)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the

    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine

  • How is it, my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?

    Hello

    I have a desktop computer Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with an ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard. Recently, I have a problem with my Wired Saitek Eclipse PZ30AU keyboard: when I type, the typical button does not appear on the screen. In other words, the keys are unresponsive. The keyboard is turned on, if the office is enabled/disabled. Even if, at the time, while he was working, the light is always disabled whenever the office is off. I don't know why it is informed, even if the office is off.

    My wired mouse usb works fine. I even tried my USB adapter for wireless network in two USB ports, and I still have the signal, so I guess it works very well too. The on-screen keyboard works.
    However, I tried to connect the keyboard desktop on my laptop and for some reason, what works. I also tried to use a different keyboard on my desk, and it actually works.
    I downloaded the chipset, the driver M4A87TD EVO BIOS 2001 driver and a driver of NEC Electronics Corporation USB 3.0 controller. But first, I had to install the Akamai NetSession Interface. After that I downloaded all three files, I installed the chipset driver and USB driver in uncompressing them, by clicking on each file, by clicking on Setup. For some reason, the BIO 2001 pilot had only a ROM file, so I just deleted total. After installing and restarting the computer, the keyboard does not.
    I want to emphasize that, before even manually, download the drivers, I tried using WIndows Update to install all important and recommended updates. After the computer restarts, the guarded keyboard lights flashing on and outside.
    So, I ask two things:
    1.) how does my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?
    2.) can I keep I have installed the drivers or uninstall them?
    Thank you.

    To run all the applications of the laptop or install download applications works does not error message indicating that the application is not valid "win32.exe or win32.application.

    Hello m.velentino,

    Not sure if you are still having the error message isn't valid win32.applicaiton.

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:
    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    -If the hard disk is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.
    -If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:
    -If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.
    -Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.
    -If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.
    -If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.
    -
    This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.
    -If the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    -If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.
    -Download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

  • using firefox 24, yahoo toolbar disappears and the keyboard does not work on some websites

    We have installed firefox 24, yahoo toolbar sometimes disappears. On some web site when trying to enter a password, the keyboard does not work until you double click of the mouse on the registration form. This on two different systems of windows 7. Each thin seemed to work fine before the update prior to the installation of 24.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    I hope this helps!

  • Laptop HP OMEN - 15-5010nr: Omen HP 15: backlit keyboard does not not after BIOS update

    This morning my HP omen arrived by mail, fully functional with everything in tact. After I left my laptop to install the updates from HP Support Assistant (one of these being an update of the BIOS updates), I returned to find my computer restarted and my enlightened retro keyboard does not. After trying to use HP OMEN control to fix the keyboard, I found the keyboard flashes when I click "Apply to all Zones", but then immediately turns off again. Is it possible to fix this keyboard backlit ir question can we see an update in the near future that resolves this problem?

    Found a solution! Apparently, the keyboard stops after the update of the BIOS, so to reactivate just push F5.

  • Keyboard does not not on Lenovo laptop.

    Hello. I have problems with a Lenovo laptop. I can't connect to Windows because the keyboard does not work normally. The 'H' button works as a return back, for example, and I don't see what I'm typing in the password bar, I don't know what keys are what. Only a few keys to produce characters and when entering keys other system sounds right. I had this problem yesterday and I fixed by holding button FN and F4 or F7, I think it was F7, but now the same combination does not work. If you could help me that would be great. See you soon.

    I've identified the problem.

    Lenovo machine think that is pressed the CTRL key for an unknown reason. I googled and it seems someone else has the same problem with their Lenovo machine and they have an external mouse Logitech installed, I have so it would be a huge coincedence so those not bound.

    Is there a way to use the features of the arrow by pressing CTRL? Y at - there combinations like CTRL, ALT and 8 = arrow down for example?

    If so I can at least start mode without failure.

    See you soon.

    Hi Bill,

    You can try the following steps and check:

    Method 1:

    Connect the HTC Fuze to the computer, and then run the fixit and see if that makes a difference.

    Automatically, he diagnoses and fixes problems with the hardware. (USB) Keyboard and mouse are not detected by the Manager of devices or when they do not work.

    Method 2:

    If method 1 may not then try the following:

    If you are running Windows Vista 32 - bit, then Uninstall and reinstall the same.

    Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Windows Vista (32-bit)

    I see from my records that a similar case has been solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the update WAT - KB971033

    Open the Windows Update - click the link view updates installed on the left of the page

    in the list, find the WAT update KB971033, and then uninstall it.

    Then restart and reinstall the update from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

    redemarrer restart again, then try to change your product key to the one on the sticker - what is happening this time?
