Office pavilion 500-281 model: half-moon key wired keyboard

There are a few keys that are new and have uncertain functions.

(1) the half-moon key. He hit once and monitor will dim but visible, he struck again and monitor goes completely dark, struck again and not change even after repeated srtrikes. How do you get screen back normal?

(2) three lights? in the upper right corner. 1, has and a down arrow. What are the thses all about?

Hi @ruska ,

Question #1 - the half moon button is for mode 'sleep'. Moving the mouse should get your normal screen after pressing this button.

Question #2 - these lights represent num, caps lock, shift, and stop scroll. When the NUMLOCK is turned on, the keypad 10 buttons on the side of the keyboard is activated. With the caps lock on, letters are typed in uppercase without hold the SHIFT key. Here is an article in Wikipedia where you can learn more on Scroll Lock.

  • Office Pavilion 500-281: upgrade of processor and graphics HP Pavilion 500-281

    I just bought this HP Pavilion 500-282 3/15/15.  I would like to upgrade from the intel hd graphics card 4400.  Also, I would say to install the I3 I5 4130.   How hard would that be? I upgrade the BIOS?  The power supply is 300 Watts.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    [Personal information]

    HERE IS THE SPEC PAGE for this unit.  It lists the processors i5 which will work with the motherboard, just scroll down.

    The intel hd graphics card 4400 is part of the processor but will be promoted to the Intel HD Graphics 4600 (GT2) with any of the i5 processors listed.  If more than one upgrade is necessary, you should know that food can be a problem and the graphical upgrade with Intel onboard graphics is somewhat a problem, too.  Be very sure, through research, that works in the motherboard video card to the study.

  • Pavilion 500-281: where to install a SSD and the best way to get the operating system on it

    I have a Pavilion nine 500-281 with Win 7. I bouight a SSD 128 GB to load the operating system on it.  Where can I get inside the chassis? It seem not to be berries of classical records. It came with an adapter with the screw plate, but it's not obvious where I was able to ride the thing!

    In addition, can I just run a restore to get the OS on the SSD drive, once I have installed?  I received instructions with the SSD for ADATA software copy an image of the disk, but all I want is the operating system.  I'm dying to start using my new computer, but I think I want to get the reader installed first before you make any changes that he.

    Hello

    Review the #8 message in this thread.  Not all models of the 500 - 2xx Pavilion are provisioned for the SSD in the location as shown.  In the indicated installation, an adapter plate was not necessary.

    Most SSD manufacturers have free software migration.  I suggest that you image the entire HD, all partitions even hidden partitions.  Some of the more recent migration software will allow you to exclude your data records.

    Let's get down to the potential pitfalls:

    1. your HP computer uses Jasmine-R motherboard (MSI MS-7778) with six 6 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports. beautiful card mother AMD, many SATA ports. GOOD to GO.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03757575

    2. it is a MidTower case, with the hard drive mounted on a Vertical support, bottom left (view after removing the side panel). Follow the Web link below, for this how to (open side panel):
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04100666

    3. IF you want to add a second drive, in this case a 2.5 "Solid - State Drive (SSD), I see three 3 potential location.

    (A.) mounted horizontally, with support of the adapter in the box below the DVD/CD drive.

    (B) vertically, mounted on the Panel lower front of the computer case.
    A 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support can facilitate this fixation or the player first itself (using the 4 holes tapped on bottom of SSD) IF the perforations (ventilation, fan, hard drive carrier) line up properly.

    (C.) mounted horizontally on the botton (floor) of the case. Location does not fit all applications.
    The San disk Extreme Pro SSD, I bought in 2014, has been mounting spacer/vibration rubber that could allow this type of editing with a contact adhesive. This montage approach is not appropriate in all cases.

    Selling manufacturers SSD Kits and readers Raw (desktop, laptop)- so working with your store of the local computer for sale retail (££ or €) for a proper selection.

    4. REVIEW the available power cables (SATA style) for their ability to reach these 3 mounting locations.
    Extensions are available from box Mod shops and retail stores.

    It was again being shipped with TPG/GUID/UEFI PC.

    Unfortunately, this makes it almost impossible to restore a hard disk MBR or install linux dual boot.

    Using Paragon Hard Drive Manager 14, I was able to convert the old UEFI/GPT disk and can start, at least as long, that's not the hard drive of the o/s. So, I can access its files, but not in the registry.

    This also explains why I couldn't even boot with my USB (MBR) hard drive attached.

    This office is new and has Windows 7.  I can't print from this computer.  I have an Officejet Pro 8600.  I have a popup that says "Search for wireless, network and eprint printers."   I don't know how to provide this popup with all that he needs.  The printer is already listed on the popup, but this is not enough.

    Even if the computer knows the printer is where you have installed the necessary software on the computer?  See HERE for the drivers, etc.

  • Office Pavilion 500-164: usable RAM less installed


    Hello

    Are you running VM? If so, then change the values of your allowance.

    The operating system may be corrupted which would make the MSCONFIG setting ineffective.   It's a matter of low probability. Although there are values of registry in this case that could be changed, I'll inform normally not posters on how to edit the registry.  Open (admin) command prompt it and enter the following: SFC/scannow

    Restart the PC after the SFC scan process is completed. If the process of SFC scan found errors that it could not correct then reload the operating system using external HP recovery disks.  Don't forget to backup your data.

    Restart your PC and check again the MSCONFIG setting and make sure it is not checked. Repeat the test.

    Try this memory bootable Diagnostics CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn the disk using Imgburn.

    Memtest86 4.20 more Installer USB.

    It is possible that the new memory is not compatible with your existing memory, even if it seems to be recognized. This happens often.

    That these suggestions in this order:

    Remove the new DIMMs. Start the PC and check the area of material. You should see a small amount in the reserve.  How do you see now in the area of material?

    Clear theCMOSand repeat the test. If no joy, then try the following suggestion.

    Remove old DIMMs and place the new DIMMS in the blue slots.  Clear the CMOS. Repeat the test. You see 16 GB with only a small amount of material area reserve? If no joy, then the DIMM modules are not compatible with your PC.  If OK, now install the original DIMMs in the black sites. Repeat the test.  If no joy, then clear the CMOS and repeat the test.

    If you have reached this point, then I suggest that you return the DIMMs.  See the information below.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

  • HP keyboard mapping inorrect freshly installed Windows 7 / XP on HP Pavilion 500-202eo

    Hello

    After you have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on HP Pavilion 500 - 202eo, I noticed that the HP keyboard connected is incorrectly mapped. I had exact same questions with the mapping of the keyboard with new operating system installs on oher systems as well, but couldn't really find a solution for this. In fact, certain symbols appear to move; While normally, where usually I had to press Alt Gr + 2 I got the sign @, I must now press shift. The? + button now product - character, while pressing on - product button /, <>product button------etc. I tried to put the keyboard in 'Norwegian', which is the layout of my keyboard, but nothing helped. It seems that I must be missing some type of a pilot or a patch, which is present on each preinstalled system that I own, but somehow is missing on installed fresh, even if there are no conflicts in Device Manager. I have the same problem on the XP installation. Any suggestions?

    Hello again once, I managed to solve this problem by specifying the correct keyboard language in Control Panel. I didn't need drivers after all.

    Thanks for your replies. My reason for decommissioning is a requirement with my Autocad Architecture 2012 which does not work on windows 8.1. Stupid me!

For some reason, it seems to be nothing listed under 'Programs' about my CD-ROM. When you insert a disc, nothing happens. The drive doesn't appear even when you look at all the drives on my computer. I tried troubleshooting several times using the HP wizard without help. He tell me there is no driver for the CD, but I can't seem to fix no matter what I try to use the automated methods. Went to the HP site but it was no helo to enter my model number to download a driver. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
