Pavilion dv7 cursor disappears, flashing bright orange...

I was typing an email when my cursor disappeared (for a fraction of a second, a graphic appeared on my screen, looked like a finger pointing down, transported to a keyboard?) and an orange light under the longer upper part of the mouse pad started to blink.  In addition, there was a white light flashes in the fingerprint sensor (which I don't use).

The only way I could get out of it was to manually turn off the computer, and then restart it.

No idea what could have happened?

Thank you!

Hello

Looks like you may have accidentally disabled the touchpad.

Try double clicking the top left of the touchpad area - do you think that the new screen image (the orange LED by the touchpad should also lit to indicate that the key is off).  To re-enable the touchpad, simply double-click the top left area again.

Kind regards

  • When I tap on the touchpad on my HP Pavilion dv7 cursor sometimes also jumps on the screen

    When I tap on the touchpad on my HP Pavilion dv7 cursor sometimes jumps somewhere else on the screen. I sent 2 times to HP and it has been returned without problem found. They advised me to set the pointer at half speed, but it still happens. I found on the HP web site, a newsletter which confirms that they seem to have a problem: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01471084&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=hr&cc=hr&lang=hr&product=4075797#.

    It is apparently related to the thread "Windows UPDATE Caused typing problems (Jumping cursor... )" It only happens when I type' and 'double tap', not when I type. So who is to blame?

    To disable the option of tapping helps but it is only circumvented the problem.

    And HP article points to its own software system BIOS or touchpad as the culprit, not the operating system.  I've seen a number of updates offered on Windows Update that can potentially manure with a touchpad settings; Quick Launch buttons specific to the virtual devices/interfaces/drivers ACPI BIOS that control things like the programmable buttons or special function keys and updated for HP, TouchPad software and driver updates.

    Non-Microsoft software and published on Windows Update for driver updates are put there by the respective hardware or software developers, not by Microsoft.  Many users just automatically install what are updates are available without looking too close description of the update and do not realize that they just installed an update to a third-party product as opposed to an update of the operating system.  Some users don't even know the difference.

    I would check the forums to support consumer of HP for a potential solution.  Several times, HP will have a new driver or software provision, but he gets only appearing on the support pages and download for currently marketed models, not on discontinued models.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx laptop with Windows 7 64 bit that won't start or go to the Bios screen.  When the laptop is turned on, you hear the fan from the system start, start button / stop brighter lights and the caps lock button starts to Flash continuously once every three to four seconds.  The activity of the disc is also light on but with no flashing red.  No changes have been made to the laptop and it worked perfectly well a few hours earlier.  I tried the hard reset of the computer and the reinstallation of the memory cards, but the laptop would be still not start.  Any help to determine what the problem is with the computer would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    It does not appear that a hardware problem has occurred.

    After reviewing the document for the blink code, it seems that the processor does not have.

    A defective processor can be repaired by a local PC store, but I highly recommend you contact the HP support by phone to see what options are available. HP repair center would be able to identify the appropriate components that will need to be replaced in the rare case that the test gave flashing evil code.

  • Impossible to add an external monitor or adjust the brightness of the screen: Pavilion dv7-4031TX (Windows 7)

    Hello

    I recently replaced both hard drives of HDD2K12, which meant I had to re-enstall Windows 7. Since that time, I have no options more in using an external monitor or even the brightness of the screen. The computer does not recognize the monitor when I Plug and all my drivers are up to date.

    Can you make suggestions that could help to solve these two problems?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    Thanks to find the links but I could not find the drivers I need for a Pavilion dv7-4031TX.

    However I finally managed to fix the problem. Let me summarize what has been my problem.

    (1) I could not adjust the brightness of the screen by using the function keys f2 and f3.

    (2) I couldn't find the brightness slider if it was generally... i.e. (control Panel\Hardware and Options of Sound\Power)

    (3) my laptop would not recognize an external monitor.

    How I solved the problem:

    1 > pass.

    and go to the graphics driver and download the graphics driver and follow the directions. At the end of the installation you will be asked to restart the computer.

    0nce you have restarted your computer, you should be able to adjust the brightness of the screen using the fn keys or the brightness slider in the window 'power Option '.

    Click on Device Manager... At start-> right click on 'Computer' and click 'properties '. Click on "Device Manager". Now click on "monitors".

    Now connect the exernal monitor to your laptop while watching where the monitor icon appears under "monitors". It should appear as 'Generic PNP monitor'.

    Now, right-click on it and select "update driver software... "then search automatically for updated drivers. Install the new drivers. You should see the generic 'PNP monitor' name change to another name.

    Hello

    First of all, regarding the manual of maintenance on the link below--remove and reposition your bars of memory.

    If the above makes no difference try the following.

    Again, regards to the manual on the link below, delete one of your modules from memory and then see if the computer will start.  If it doesn't, try the same module, but in another location.  If it is still won't start, try the other memory module in both slots, to see if any combination will allow the laptop to boot up normally.

    The procedure for withdrawal of these modules is detailed from Page 63 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Hello

    Unfortunately the "blink" codes are not always an accurate indication of the actual error, so this may be one hardware failure of another component on the motherboard.

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.  Follow the procedure begins on Page 52 of your Interview Guide & Service to remove the battery from the RTC.

    Press and hold power for 30 seconds and then leave the laptop for 15 minutes.

    Exchange your module memory 4 GB in the other available slot.  Reinsert the RTC battery, replace the cover, plug the power adapter ( Let the main battery at the moment ) and try to start the laptop.

    Any change?

  • iPod is connected got bright orange flashing, no cost? *

    iPod connected to my laptop with usb port.  a flashing light orange but without costs.  How is it?

    Flashing orange light means 'do not disconnect', because the storage drive the shuffle is mounted by the system.  He is not related to the State of battery charge.  The shuffle is in charge then flashes.

    Try eject shuffle in iTunes but leave it connected.  You should see that the light stops flashing; It is solidFull light means "OK to disconnect".  Now, the color indicates the battery charge status.  Solid Green means fully chargedSolid Orange means being charged.

    NOTE: The shuffle flashes when connected (until she is ejected), IF it is set to manually manage music or allow the use of the disk.  These settings are on the screen of the settings summary shuffle in iTunes.  IF you disable these settings and set it to Sync music automatically (on the shuffle in iTunes music settings screen), the shuffle is strong when it is connected.  You can disconnect without ejecting it in iTunes (orange blinks only when iTunes is Active sync).

    a flashing light orange but without costs.

    If you are saying that the shuffle's battery is not at all, please post back.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Driver questions

    My mother's cell phone, a Pavilion dv7-4273, began to display an error in the boot and screen several times during normal use which was not his hard drive. Naturally, like any other time it happened for me or someone else, I bought a suitable hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 (unfortunately, everything I have right now is 32-bit). In any case, not exclusive to the computer worked (keys function, internet, ect), so the pilots were the next step.

    This is my problem.

    While most of the drivers have been downloaded and installed with ease (via another computer with a flash drive), more important don't seem to not work at all. When I try to install the driver wireless for internet, it just getting started, even before that I get a window that says something along the lines of "Windows has detected that this software has not been installed properly," and I can select 'Reinstall using recommended settings' or "this program is installed correctly." None of these options work and I am still unable to connect to the internet. I need this to be fixed as soon as POSSIBLE; We are now on an extremely tight schedule.

    The other thing is the function keys. This I don't understand quite as well. It starts and installs, but there is no window that confirms the installation (IE a button 'Finish' or a 'driver installed successfully"), and the FN keys still don't work. It's not as big of a deal, but it would be nice to get that back on track also.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you install the drivers and to check that they have installed, and then open Device Manager.

    Any device that does not have a good driver installed, will have a yellow exclamation mark next to it.

    Once the correct driver for the device is installed, tell tale yellow exclamation beside her point will disappear in real-time. This will be your 'Finish' button or a notice "driver installed successfully."

    The Fn keys are a BIOS setting.  Enter the BIOS (power, immediately tap the Esc key--> start menu--> choose F10 for BIOS configuration) and check the keys for defining Action.

    The following image shows how the device manager should look like when all the required drivers are installed.

    Use the system diagnostics in the BIOS to determine the State of the hard drive.

    In your announcement of the name of the product of the laptop, you left out the last two characters. It should be instead of 4273 dv7 dv7-4273us?

    If you want to see dv7-4273us then your wireless adapter will be one of the two that I mentioned in the following image.

    If you are uncomfortable not knowing exactly which adapter is installed, then you can right click on the network device that does not have a driver installed, select Properties, use the drop-down arrow to select the hardware ID and post the PCI\VEN as in the following image. I or another expert checks the database and you know that is installed in your laptop.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when the volume control

    Hello

    I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez and when I change the volume using the slider button in the volume on top of the keyboard, the volume is adjusted accordingly, but no volume indicator appears on the display.

    Previously, when you adjust the volume, a speaker icon with a cursor jumped in the middle of the screen showing the current volume level.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Update and HP update shows that I have the latest version of the software. Also, I have the latest version of the BIOS installed.

    Note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and enable wireless, etc) stopped working a few days after the disappearance of the sound meter, I have fixed that by connecting battery power and disconnectiong for awhile. However, the indicator is still not displayed. Don't know if this is related (I guess not).

    Thank you

    The Volume OSD is a HP MediaSmart Menu function. He has to load at startup. To do this, go to msconfig and make sure that it is enabled under the Startup tab...

  • Access the SSD of recovery on a 7008tx Pavilion Dv7 with a broken BONE

    Then... I poured a can of soda on my keyboard, the other day. The fluid was able to go through the keyboard in the unit. Not long after that the unit has stopped operating, display color lines on the screen.

    I managed her apart and cleaned the internals, very carefully, and leaving the map screen and system alone. Apart from a small amount of liquid, the motherboard was intact.

    Put all together now I have a few questions.

    First: The system is a Pavilion Dv7 7008tx, with two 1 TB drives in a raid array. 8 64-bit Windows. Oh and data recovery is on a ssd internal flash drive.

    Second, the questions start with the 1st player making the rattling.

    the operating system is not recognized and disk hp check comes back clean, although the noisy drive was no noise when checking!

    I tried to initiate the recovery, but the original start menu refuses to accept anything, except that there is no boot device, go to hp.com/go/techcenter/startup and install an operating system. Disconnect the hard drive master/01/borked does not help.

    Unfortunately the tech center told me after checking readers confirming the bios and such to contact hp.

    I searched for a few hours for a via USB initialization method and manually run the executable SDS.

    I have another laptop which runs on windows 7 if it would help

    I would really like to help at least from recovery on the ssd. I assumed that it works no matter what, like its on a separate drive.

    Then mabye I could actually check what damage to the unit. The color of the screen disappeared, and he seems ok, except for the drive grunts.

    Edit: I know almost nothing about the raid, and as such, I'm a little lost. can I buy another drive and Chuck? The recovery will work then?

    The ssd is recognized in the system diagnostics.

    Hello

    In my view, that the recovery partition is E:, not Q: (SSD), unless your machine is NOT a dv7-7008tx, OR you have modified the original for a new HP dv7-7008tx configuration. The following image shows:

    (a) C: and D: 2 1 TB HARD drive each.

    (b) E: recovery partion, physically sharing with C:

    q Q: 32 GB SSD that is inaccessible (for Intel RST).

    Looks like the first physical HARD disk has not physically so both C: and E: failed, you cannot recovery from there.

    Kind regards.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 button walk / stop does not

    Hi, I recently had my Hp Pavilion dv7-1245dx Entertainment Notebook (to the best of my knowledge bc, I can't look it up in my product number) fixed some viruses and malware that caused random stops and freezes. My laptop worked fine after that the fix so I installed the latest updates to better protect my laptop but when I left and my laptop came into fashion 'sleep' it would not respond and the screen was black. I stopped using the power button and it turned back. The computer does not start and the flash caps lock button three times which means a problem of memory, according to HP support, that happened before I got my laptop fixed. Later, I unplugged the AC adapter and moved my laptop but when I tried to put it on the power button does not respond and I can't do anything with my laptop. Both recommended options for the issue of cap locks and the power button is to go inside my laptop and tinkering with the battery and the memory module. I'm very hesitant to do so for fear of further harm to my laptop. I am on Windows 7 and advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. (will give you more information if necessary)

    With respect,

    ACertainGuy

    Your notebokdoes have removable covers for the module of memory in the bottom of the laptop. It's just as shown in the document I linked.

    You will need to buy a Jewelers screwdriver set.  A jewellers Phillips scredriver is necessary.

    Here is a link to a documentthat explains the flashing LED error codes and what they mean.

    The only other option, if you do not have enough confidence to do it yourself, is to take your laptop in a shop that will do it for you.

  • Pavilion DV7-1451nr: Wireless button stays amber

    My pavilion dv7-1451nr turns wireless keyboard blue when I have to reset the motherboard by removing the battery and press the power button / stop seconds, after which I plug in charger to him while leaving the battery and press the power button / stop. After that, I would like to press f10 to enter the bios setup, then I would like to load the defaults, save and exit.

    After doing all that I have explained above, the wireless button becomes blue and wireless assistant would be activated and indicates that the wireless is turned on. If I check in the Device Manager, I see the hardware details and driver wireless populated it and everything should work fine, but once I restart the computer, the wireless button would refuse to start. There is orange. If I try to check the State of the material status and driver WLAN on Device Manager, they would be is more filled it more and wireless assistant will refuse to start. If by chance he started, this would indicate that the wireless is turned off by the Device Manager.

    I had tried uninstalling the wireless LAN driver and reinstalled just in case the problem came from the software side but not solution. Just this afternoon, I have decoupled from the computer and removed the card WLAN, dusted it and replace it back, but the problem persists.

    The type of wireless network card is Atheros AR5007 802.11 b/g WiFi adapter. I noticed something this afternoon, however, after having checked the service manual for the computer, I realized that there is specific types of the wireless card compatible for specific regions. For example, the number of appropriate wlan spare parts which must be on my computer is 582564-002 and have this with references with the number of spare part of wlan on the wireless card available on my computer that begins with sps 452..., I realized something was wrong. I'll leave that to stop you guys from HP, but I really need a solution to this problem very fast because it's really annoying me. Thank you.

    Hello @LL_Cool_J,

    Thanks for the information!

    I don't know what you mean, when he asked if the model is 50xx or 40xx. Confirming the WLAN Module is a little difficult, because there are several manuals maintenance for this model.  I was able to refine the selection a bit, by comparing the numbers of spare part for hard drives.  Based on this REPAIR, the WLAN Modules you have listed, 582564-002, 593836-001, must be compatible.  However, I don't see the Atheros as option in this manual.  To be on the safe side, you can contact our telephone support HP.  Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and contact HP.
