Pavilion Dv6: F & G transposed keys on my HP Pavilion Dv6

Hi, I just bought a HP Pavilion Dv6 of second hand and discovered the keyboard is wrong: F is where G should be and vice versa. F types G and G. F.  F clearly has a small crest, marking it as a key guide, but this title is placed wrongly. Can I fix it myself? I've seen instructions on how to replace a keyboard, but I don't know if the individual keys can be swapped around.

@Elynda-Fae   Welcome to the HP Forums

You have the best experience on the HP forum, you can also visit our Guide of Forums from HP for the first time here? Learn how to post and much more.

If I understand correctly you want to swap F and G keys on your keyboard.

Click here to see the video that will guide you how to replace the key. However, it is a third party link and if you prefer not to replace yourself.

Please Contact HP and replace the keyboard.

  • Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key


    Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
    Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

    (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

    (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

    (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

    (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

    So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

    (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

    (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

    (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

    Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

    I did a factory restore on my laptop.  I did not record the product key of MS Office, because I thought that it was preinstalled.  I bought the computer in 2010 and can not find the original CD / manuals.  Is it possible that I can know is that the product key?

    The Microsoft Office installed on this laptop is the trial version, you can check this information from the link below. The full version of office must have been installed by the store, then you will need to get in touch with them as HP ships this unit with the evaluation version of Office.

  • Pavilion dv6 7010tx No sound at all, put Mute key completely ineffective

    Hello

    A few days ago, when I woke up my HP Pavilion laptop dv6 7010tx (running windows 8 pro 64-bit) of sleep, I noticed that he had lost all the sounds. Audio tracks cannot be played on any media player, videos play on intermittently without any audio and there is no sound regardless of the program or application running. Restart the portable computer is not the problem.

    Also should be noted that the f11 key (mute) does nothing. The LED on the key is off, the volume indication appears on the screen because it didn't then change volume keys f9, f10, however it shows no mute / mute off-label as it should when working properly. I have troubleshooted the problem and I am sure that the sound card is not a problem. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

    Open windows control panel, open Windows Update, select "View update history" in the left pane and then select "Installed updates" link in the next window.

  • F11 key to 'Mute' on Pavilion DV6

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with my laptop Pavilion:

    It seems that the F11 key, which allows me also to put the speakers on "Mute" or to light no longer works! All othe function keys work perfectly but this one!

    When I turn off the sound by clicking on the "icon in the taskbar for the sounds, the small LED (in the upper right of the F11 key) turns red, but when I try to simply press the F11 key to turn off the sound automatically, the only thing I get is a short blip of the light (in red color), but the sound is not disconnected!

    Do you have any opinions? I would be very happy if someone could suggest a few solutions would be great!

    I would also add that I keep the own keyboard, so I don't think that this is blocked by dust or other materials to get into the keyboard and causing problems!

    (I hope everyone understands what the problem is that I'm not a native English speaker, and my level of English is not high!)

    Thank you very much!

  • Pavilion dv6 'y' key sensitivity

    I just got a HP dv6 laptop and press the 'y' very easily. I don't even have to press the button, just have my finger on the button with very little pressure causes the button. Can do something, or should I return it for a new?

    If you feel that the key is too sensitive, and the computer is still in the trading period where you bought it, you can exchange it.

    Just curious, if... most of the typists are not based their finger on the button Y because it is not on the row. Maybe if you have simply changed where you place your fingers, you might fing that it really isn't a problem.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6108us: why HP has locked my product key?

    I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop HP using ISO available on Microsoft site, as my current Windows became defective after 5 years of use (Note: this laptop was purchased with Windows pre-installed). To download the file, I need to check my key product of Windows 7; which I documented. However, after you have submitted the information, I received an error message indicating that Microsoft has a problem with my key. I contacted Microsoft Support and they told me that my product key has been locked by the manufacturer of my computer (HP).

    I have no idea how the have unlocked, and I don't know WHY it was locked, but I'd like to be able to use my existing key to do a clean install of my OS... I am aware that this laptop is old and out of warranty, but it was perfectly fine until recently. So, what reason is there that HP would lock my Windows 7 product activation key and how would I be able to use it?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, you can NOT use an OEM Key Code to activate a retail installation. You need the OEM of Windows version. In this case, you can contact HP in your country to order a set of recovery.

  • HP Pavilion Dv6 3130sa function key settings

    Hello

    I picked up the cell phone above recenetly and finally got everything set up how I like it, except for one thing.

    F (F1 - F12) keys in the upper part of the key board is my spine.

    For now, if I want to activate the sound upward or down, I'm just press F9 or F10 keys back.  The function key (fn down near the lower left corner of my keyboard) is not necessary.  If I prees the real F9, I have to hold down the fn key.

    Most of the people probably don't mind that (how often do you use the F keys?).

    However, I do.  I play EVE online a lot, and someone else who plays this will know that F1 to F8 are used much of the time, with F9 to F12 with less use.

    In certain situations in EVE, time is of the essence, and I don't like havign to press fn to be able to switch to what anyone, that I attributed to F1 - F8.  Given that Fkey and ctrl alt Fkey is also used.  If I am pressing fn, then the alt and ctrl keys not record not to SLEEP.  And pressing Alt - F1, for example, does nothing.

    Is it possible that I can spend around what the top row keys do regarding if you press the fn key?

    Outside the day BEFORE, on its current setting F1 opens HPs general support request to hit and pressing fn + F1 opens the help for the program that I currently use.  Again, I want to these swapped.

    I looked around Control Panel and start menu but can't find anything that allows me to set up my keys how I want that they.  Even for the 5 keys shortcut (on the left side of the keyboard), I can't find an option to change what they open...

    As I read, I probably have very well explained what I'm after, but can anyone help me?

    Check if you have this option in bios
