Pavilion 550 179na: keyboard, typing letters multiple even if only 1 key

I bought this computer a week ago and I use the keyboard and mouse that came with it.

The keyboard started typing a letter multiple times, even if the button is pressed only once...

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening please?

@GillyB

Assuming for the moment that is not in some cases associated with other problems that you have experienced, that you have installed / updated the drivers of HP, and that your operating system is also includes itself (lots of "If this and that"), then the following could be useful to help you adjust the keyboard settings.

  • First of all, try to simply set the keyboard for "repeat rate":

Control Panel > display icon > Ease of Acess > make the keyboard easier to use >

Scroll down and click on the keyboard settings > adjust as you wish

  • If this is not enough - or does not provide the kind of response get you, and then run:

Control Panel > display icon > Ease of Acess > make the keyboard easier to use >

Check Turn on filter keys > adjust settings to find the one that works for you

  • Satellite 4080 - keys keyboard not typing letters, but orders!

    I spilt a drink on my 7 year specifications, and today the G, H and other keys give me help commands, spell check etc instead of just typing letters! Someone has already encountered this problem and find out what can be done to solve? I was wondering whether to uninstall the driver and then reinstall? Any help is very appreciated.

    Don t think that reinstalling the driver will solve this problem.
    Is that the operating system uses Microsoft windows to address own pilots.

    I recommend the removal of the keyboard to the device and try to check the keyboard cable connection. Try to clean the connectors.
    But be careful. If you have no experience in these procedures, you must contact technicians!

  • HP Pavilion 550-127C: HP is KU-0316 keyboard compatible with Windows 10?

    Just bought a new HP Pavilion 550-127C desktop computer, but I hate the keyboard that comes with it.

    My old Gateway keyboard will not work with it.  I love KU-0316 keyboard of HP but can't find it in the store and do not want to order unless I know it will work.

    If not this one, which will make?  (which is easy to use Delete and Backspace keys and keypad digital)

    Hello TxCalico,

    When you say 'old keyboard gateway", which was not working because it was wired as a PS2 and not USB?

    There are adapters available PS2 USB if you were really want work-specific keyboard.

    The KU-0316 is just a basic USB keyboard and should work just fine as would any other USB keyboard.

    There is no special driver related to keyboards USB and Windows 10, unless the specific keyboard had special hot keys that depend on the software prior to use.

    Hope that helps.

  • HP Pavilion 550-055na: Win 7 drivers for HP Pavilion 055na-550

    Hello

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion 550-055na here in the United Kingdom and am not too keen on the 8.1 of Windows on the machine.

    I want to put Windows 7 (64 bit) on it to ensure the stability of my Pro Tools and video editing - and the use of gneral familiar. However, the page drivers is a little confused and I don't know what applies exactly to my machine.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-550-000-desktop-PC-series/7779690/model/...

    In the link, I have updated the page to display the Windows 7 software. However, I am sure that some of these download options do not apply to me. For example, my machine has a "nVidia Ge Force 750"graphics card and this is not listed as a download option. It seems only options for:

    nVidia Graphics Driver add-on for GT730 2 GB

    nVidia Graphics Driver add-on for GT730 4 GB

    Graphics nVidia Unified Driver module

    In addition to the options for the graphic card drivers, some of the other options are confused and I don't know what I should install. Either way, my network controller and sound card appear to be Realtek.

    Can someone please tell me which factors listed, I should download before I have to enter the installation of the OS? Or, if it is easier, which of those I shouldn't use. Are there any that I didn't need for example? I'm guessing that some may not apply to me and than some.

    Any help to this would be greatly appreciated as I lost a PC a few weeks and he had to get into service again.

    Sincere greetings

    DJ

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    I am happy to answer your questions.

    Thanks for the reply Geekster old. Very much appreciated.

    I would like to run a few things from you, if this is correct.

    My specific graphics card is not listed in the available driver downloads. Does this mean that I have this source of nVidia and 'no' Internet HP site?  You must use the unified driver.

    In addition, according to specifications, my network card must be a Realtek RTL8151GH-CG, but it is not listed either. Should I just go with the Realtek NETWORK card driver available for this? It's all a bit confusing.  Yes, you must use the driver for the CARD.  I agree to be confusing.  Just know that you actually cannot make a mistake because if this isn't the right driver, it will not install.

    The driver listed in the downloads of driver chipset seems to be a generic "Intel" as opposed to a particular version (i.e. H87). I guess I'll take the Intel, the one with the other intel downloads in this section? Also should I it storage AMD Raid driver if I have an Intel Chipset?  Yes, install the Intel Chipset driver.  Do not install the drivers AMD or software.  HP uses different motherboards in the same model, that is why it becomes a bit confused.  Yet once, if you try to install an incorrect driver it will not install.

    Sorry to ask pretty much, but I don't want to install things I'm not supposed to. I hate this technical part of computing. I use better programs than to find these things.  Believe me, you're not alone when it comes of the presentation of the pilots of no.  This is probably the area of most confusion.  I even sometimes have problems.

    All wouold much appreciated precision. Thank you very much.  You are welcome.

  • HP Pavilion 550-232na: graphics card

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my graphics card, but I'm not sure what would be compatible for my pc.

    Details of my pc:

    PC: HP Pavilion 550-232na

    Processor: intel core i3-6100 3.70 ghz

    RAM: 8 GB

    existing card: graphics intel HD 530

    Ironbreaker1, welcome to the forum.

    I think that almost any video card will work on your computer.  However, there are two main considerations: 1) the amount of energy needed to run the card properly and 2) the length of the card.

    You certainly need to move the power supply (PSU).  The specifications of the computer state that the PSU is internal and 180W.  Most newer video cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Normally, I would recommend a block of at least 500W Power SUPPLY; 600W is even better.

    Here's a video card that should work, but it requires 400W of power.

    I love the Corsair PSU.  They make quality products at a reasonable price.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money.  This is a power supply that should work for you.  It is modular which allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This more than makes up for the air circulation.  You should check the space provided for the power supply to make sure it will fit.  In addition, make sure that the connectors.

    Hello @upsetuser ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your keyboard repeats letters when typing.

    Make sure that the sticky keys is not enabled. To check if it is enabled press SHIFT 5 times repeatedly and you should hear a beep or receive a pop up on the activation or deactivation of the sticky keys.

    If StickyKeys is not enabled, perform a hard reset on the phone. Turn it off, remove the AC adapter and remove the battery. Press and hold the button for 30 seconds and reinsert the AC adapter and the battery. Turn on the laptop and test.

    The language of the keyboard reset may also help:

    1. click on start.
    2. click on Control Panel.
    3. click on clock, language and region.
    4. click on the region and language.
    5. click on the keyboards and languages tab.
    6. click on change keyboards...
    7. on the general tab, make sure that English (United States) - U.S. is selected in the default input language field.
    8. click on any other keyboards in the list of installed services.
    9. click on remove.
    10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.

    Finally, reconnect the keyboard cable. There is no guide service available for your laptop so it will require a careful disassembly of the laptop to disconnect the keyboard connections and reconnect them.

    If none of this works, you may need to try a restore system before the issue started. To do this tap F11, while the laptop turns on to access the HP Recovery Manager. Select the option system restore and choose a date before the problem started. After restoring to test the keyboard. A recovery of the system (reinstalling Windows) should be the last resort before you send the laptop for service.

    If you decide the laptop needs to be repaired you can contact HP telephone support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Hope this helps!

  • Pavilion 550 - 102A: upgrade CPU 550-102 a Pavilion

    My Pavilion 550-102 a short grunt - processor AMD A4-7300 is not manage anything beyond email from basis it seems.

    The official page of the HP product for my system lists the following quad core processor upgrade options: A10-8850, A10-8750, A8-8650, A10-7800, A8-7600.

    I'm looking for some advice on the eligibility of the aforementioned processors, or any other person who can be better and fit the socket FM2 + available?

    Also, having never done a front CPU upgrade, it is attacking physically straight as a memory upgrade?

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the information, @pgking.  Don't worry the delay.  I'm here every day.

    There is an update of the BIOS here.  It is the 6th in the list for the SSID 2 B 52.  If you do the update, be extremely careful to follow the instructions.  A failed BIOS update will make a good boat anchor.  HP makes reconmmend update, however.  Normally, if a processor is recommended in the specification, this will work without changing the BIOS.

    Now, a Quad core will make the difference in performance.  Even with the slower speed, it should give better performance.  More carrots for best performance for multitasking, etc..  In addition, an upgrade of memory will add considerable performance.  Another element that I always install is an SSD.  This will make a dirrerence in startup speed.  I don't have another computer without a boot SSD.  The difference is phenomenal.

  • Pavilion 550-279na: GPU and PSU upgrade for Pavilion 550-279

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion 550-279na. While it fits most of my needs, I enjoy the occasional game and found that the GPU that is it came with, the Radeon R5 330 does not offer enough "oomph".

    http://support.HP.com/GB-en/document/c04949172

    I had a quick glance and think that the Nvidia GTX 750ti would probably answer my needs.

    Don't you think that this card would fit in my PC?

    Also, I guess 180W POWER supply that it came with is not sufficient to run a faster GPU, you have any recommendations on the size or model that would suit the Pavilion.

    My apologies if these are very secular issues, my knowledge of material isn't at the height!

    Thanks for any help.

    Charlie

    Greetings,

    Your PC has the correct UEFI BIOS.

    The GTX 750Ti requires a minimum 300 Watt power supply.

    You must measure the space available along the existing graphics card and compare it to the length of the backup. The 750 is 5.7 inches long. The 750 is a dual slot card. Make sure you have room and you can check out a second plate of Panel rear I/O to install the card.

    It must fit unless it's really tight in your chassis with the existing card.

    Same problem with the power supply. Verify that you can install a power supply 350 Watt or 400 watts.

    I prefer modular Corsair or Seasonic power switching.

    Make sure that you disable secure boot and enable the legacy boot in the BIOS.

    Also to uninstall all of the AMD graphics drivers and software before you install the card GTX 750.

    See you soon!
