Pavilion 15 Notebook - ab157nr: Y at - it of the potential damage?

I accidentally dropped a pot plastic (less then 7oz) on the box at the bottom right of the keyboard. It is quite heavy to where I'm afraid something might be damaged internally. I checked the HARD drive for errors, and he says it's very good. I also checked the Crystal Info disc program and it said also everythings works normally.  I hear weird noises or something that seems abnormal. Do you think I have anything to worry about?

As you note, the drive resides in this area. If the hard drive has been actively read/write when the impact occurred, it would be more likely to cause damage. But since you have already run a diagnosis and don't hear anything unusual, so I can say with confidence, you're good.

  • Pavilion g7 Notebook PC windows 7 - changes on the desktop when moving the mouse to the keyboard

    I have a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC running windows 7.  When I use the mouse (wireless or wired) and then click to add text - when I go to type on the keyboard - the window becomes the office window. If I drag on the touchpad, returns the original window. This happens quite often.  Any suggestions as to what may cause this problem?

    Hey pjg316,

    I'm sorry that you run into this problem from touchpad. There are gestures multitouch built into many laptops touchpad drivers. Synaptics (the manufacturer of touchpad) did a good job of making these features very customizable gesture.

    It seems that perhaps the four fingers Flick that causes this problem. You can either

    (1) disable it so it never happens, or

    (2) you can set the sensitivity of the mouse so that it does not recognize your hand/fingers hovering / brushing in the touchpad as the flick of four fingers.

    To view these settings:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. type "mouse".

    3. click on the tab to the right. He can say "ClickPad" / "TouchPad" / "Device" / 'Synaptics' settings depending on what version you have.

    4. then click on settings for ClickPad.

    5. If you want to disable the four fingers flick, just to develop gestures MultiFinger and uncheck the box. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

    If you want to change your sensitivity and keep the four fingers flick activated, expand pointing and double-click sensitivity. Adjust the slider only one notch at a time, to avoid making too big of a change that would make the touchpad is very sensitive. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

    If you make any changes you want to UN - do, you can always click the default button at the bottom left. Let me know if you have any questions

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: Wireless Device on HP Pavilion Dv6 does not!

    Hello! I'll start with my mobile information system (and please excuse my spelling and language because I am very frustrated at the moment and typing this on a cell phone)

    It's a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with product number - B3K21PA #ABG. Serial number is 2CE2201C96. I have a Broadcom 4313GN 1 x 1 adapter Wi - Fi 802.11b/g/n according to my device manager. I recently chanhed my ISP and the wireless router, they provided is the Linksys E1200 model.

    Now, on the problem - after the use of an extended internet (Skype call or internet games) my laptop just stops giving me access to the internet. And I say it like that because the internet connection icon shows that I have access to the network and internet connection, but none of my software or browsers are able to connect to the internet. This is the first time, she does. I tried updating the driver (both by checking the driver updates and downloading the drivers manually). I also tried system restore and everything I could think off trying to do a factory reset on the whole thing. And I should mention also - although this problem has happened several times now since I changed ISP (and Yes, I called them on this subject too), this currently seems to be permanent, because it has been hours and it still does not.

    Any advice on what may be the problem or that the methods to try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I agree to be only moderately enough when it comes to operating a computer that I am not tech savvy kind, but have been using computers for a while now. For now, my current solution is a fall from my window on the 16th floor and see if that fixes anything. I'm not in my own country and the laptop is old a few years for technical support is hard to find.

    I might be sounding a little passive aggressuve and I apologize for that (I have, however, do not deny these circumstances).

    Thank you for reading through my wall of text of nonsense and condescend to help a poor fellow in his time of need.

    Yours sincerely.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 notebook intermittent failure of keyboard

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook, 1 year old.  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 8 GB of Ram.  I have an external wired keyboard (Logitech K120) and a separate wireless mouse.  Frequently in the past few weeks, I noticed that the keyboard will fail once the laptop worked for a while, usually when the laptop is in "sleep".  I hear by fails, * TWO * external and the internal keyboard.  Nor will respond to any strikes at all.  Mouse control is fine, even when the keyboard has failed.

    If I rebooted the system, it works well again.

    I think that when I saw this before, I tried to disconnect the external keyboard, but that doesn't matter, because the integrated keyboard does not work or the other.

    I guess this could result from certain automatic Windows driver installation or upgrade?  Does anyone have advice for the diagnosis or verification of current drivers?

    I have just closed the lid of the laptop, to force the machine mode 'sleep'.  When I opened the lid, the system has taken over, I can log in via the scanner digital, the mouse works but the keyboard has disappeared.  I had to reboot the system, update this message.

    fmaurais,



    Try the following steps:



    Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Power Options-> change Plan (of the current plan selected) settings-> change the advanced power settings-> parameter of selective suspension of USB-> Disable (both)

    Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Power Options-> change Plan (of the current plan selected) settings-> change the advanced power settings-> PCI-Express-> Link State Power Management-> Disable (both)



    I read on a Microsoft page that is who can solve some problems "out of sleep."

    I'll see if I can get a model of your laptop to see if I can reproduce the problem.

  • Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: I can pass on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (memory, processor, graphics)

    My dv6 became very slow. I am running Windows 10 and now it takes 15-20 minutes to wake him up from his sleep and connect. Ive done a lot of cleanup and optimization, but nothing got better on that. It get very hot very quickly and the fan always seems to be at the top. I'm looking to try to upgrade the memory and perhaps the (quad-core) processor at least if possible, to see if the performance is going to do better. I can hardly do anything on this issue now because it takes too long! I have a 1 TB of HDD installed there a few years and who works well, but everyday navigation, products microsoft office and editing photo/video light from time to time are almost impossible! What memory and processors are compatible with my device that I could look in the upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm new to upgrades of memory and others so I had a bit of a problem of the research/understand exactly what I would like to search! I will post the form below!

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02548013

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 23. Your laptop has the CPU i3 - 370 M and UMA (Intel HD) video so, unfortunately, the processor is not extensible because it is soldered to the motherboard. Put video updated would also require the replacement of the motherboard. CPU upgrades are very difficult and rarely justify financially, in any case, but in your case is not possible at all unless you replace the motherboard, which is even more expensive and less be justified financially. The cost of high end motherboard and CPU and work, you might as well buy a new laptop.

    But all is not lost. The best upgrade, you can do is to install an SSD. You can also switch to 8 GB of RAM. An upgrade will be useful, together, they would be a game-changer.

    You would need 2 x 4 GB modules specified thus:

    Memory module (DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz) - 4096 MB 599092-001

    https://www.Amazon.com/HP-VH641AT-4-GB-DDR3-PC3-10600/DP/B0030L3B8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1472066313 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = 599092-001

    This model is very, very picky about the memory and it must have 8 black blocks on the side, not 4. Also very intolerant of memory not specified in general. Remember that I bound will work. 'How to' on the manual p.60.

    SSDS are a little harder to choose (as many options) and what I need to know is your budget. I recommend at least a concert 500 class SSD and which will cost $120-160. Since you have 10 Windows, it would be easy to download the Microsoft recovery media directly and simply reinstall, then find the drivers and applications and migrate the data. The installation will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the internet. You can also clone the existing content of the new SSD hard drive, but I do not recommend with a facility that is malfunctioning.

    We also probably discuss blowing dust and verification of thermal management in general. A laptop that suddenly becomes very slow, as you describe may have a hard drive problem, too. You need to run diagnostics on the hard drive and also just to check to see if it is full. Drops of performance as a rock if the hard disk reaches 90 percent and more capacity.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
