Pavillio dv7-6b77dx Win 7 keys

On any laptop I've never owned the function keys work without the use of the fn key.  (For example F4 to the product Excel and absolute formula).

To get the function keys on the HP to work the way I use the most, I have to press the fn and the key I want. (for example F4 produced some rarely used video function).

He is a Royal PIA!  Especially in Excel.

How do I reverse this effect so that the function keys work correctly.

Hi Jeff,

Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select the Bios (usually f10) option, and then change the figure in the document at the following link.

  • AC update wifi card for dv7-6b77dx?

    Hello.  I am considering buying a router using the new standard wireless AC and I wonder if there are cards wifi AC which are approved for use in the United States with the dv7-6b77dx?  I was looking specifically at the 7260HMW of Intel, but if there is no other AC wireless card that is approved for use, I'm open to alternatives.

    If there is no not currently approved for use, is there any timetable when we get?  Thank you.

    Well I never get all the points for this answer, but wi - fi laptops HP maps are locked. You can install a wireless cards HP offered from the factory. Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    See pages 6 and 7 for your options.

    I've never seen HP make additional wireless cards available with a BIOS update later. I don't think that HP offers a 802.11ac wireless on all models still card.

  • 2nd hard drive on the dv7-6b77dx

    I have a dv7-6b77dx, and I decided to upgrade my laptop with an SSD, only to discover that, even if there is a cabby for a second drive, the sata cable is not included. Also, if I want to order to the HP parts store, I can not just the cable; I have to get the full kit, even if there is no use for the remaining parts. Of course, I'm angry and do not want to pay ~ $50 + shipping for a HARD drive kit when I need only the cable. I have a more economic and more logical option here? Moreover, the cable or the kit will probably be the last HP product I take it than ever. Very disappointed.

    Hello:

    I think it is the cable you need.

    Still a bit pricey for a bad cable HARD drive, but you must do what you have to do...

  • 15 - d017: d017-15 update BIOS black screen at startup, Win + B keys do not help... How to unbrick?

    I try to get my 15-d017cl to start after upgrading the bios, here's what happened:

    -SSD installed to replace lack of hard drive, computer was working fine but disk was bad sectors (checked at default computer w/2nd hdd)

    -enabled Legacy support in the BIOS, so I could install w7 Pro 64-bit

    -installed w7 Pro 64 bit, no problems, started in Windows, everything works as expected

    -installed the Audio driver from the HP site for this 15-d017cl

    -site upgrade BIOS from HP for 15-d017cl, program says BIOS flash 100% then hung

    -After about 10 minutes, I repowered the black screen of the machine

    -start by pressing F10 key poster standard white text on the screen 'F10 '.... Configuration of the BIOS options, but it crashes it

    -start while now pressed the keys Win + B with or without a USB key (which has a different BIOS update) just hangs

    How do I unbrick my machine?

    I tried to download the 1.5 GB for a USB key that restores the BIOS update, but the download stops after 130-160 MB, I tried 6 times. Is HP corking downloads from their FTP server?

    Help! Any ideas will be appreciated.

    My model supports the Win + B keys to cancel the BIOS update?

    Y at - it another site where I can d/l the USB tool to roll back the update of the BIOS?

    Help!

    Hi mscir,.

    You make the W + B bad smell!

    First thing, it's that you need to load the BIOS DEFAULT settings

    You turn the computer off (if its currently turned off the coast)

    Turn it back on, then press the ESC far away so that you can access the START MENU

    Press F10, press F9 and then press F10 to save the changes and then press on enter if you are prompted.

    If the fix above does not solve your problem, then perform emergency Bios dump

    Many computers of portable HP have a BIOS for emergency recovery feature that allows to retrieve and install the latest well-known version of the BIOS from the hard drive, as long as the hard drive remains functional. This emergency recovery feature is separated from the BIOS and is designed to operate in the event of a catastrophic failure of the BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4272us: win 10 rejects my key

    I bought my dv7, the original owner, recorded with HP, with win7 preinstalled. Updated win10 to flash for a clean install. Cannot activate, key invalid - why? I have no idea!

    error 0x803F7001

    Found using key ShowKeyPlus. Cut out and glued in activation - same error.

    I have the OEM installation disks and a backup set later.

    HP can give me an acceptable key (after all, I have a record with them)?

    It would do no good to re - install win7 and upgrade to 10 again? Seems I would be facing the same issue would I?

    HP Support page was unnecessary. Could not find anything to address this issue, including a person.

    Find the reference to ShowKeyPlus here in this forum. But win10 would not accept the key, with which he came.

    Help, please!

    Bill

    Yes that's correct... If you double-click the file to install it on the flash drive, you can upgrade from the windows 7 desktop environment using the USB.  You need to update from the windows desktop so that the upgrade work.

    I never do that.  I do a DVD and let it autorun from the windows desktop.

    The free update expired last night at midnight, Pacific daylight time.

    You have W10 installed and activated at this time here.

    Another Member of the forum posted this info about always being able to get the free update...

  • Update of the backlit 4000 dv7 keyboard problem: incorrect keys of Action

    I bought a backlit keyboard with an envy 17 and put it in my DV7 4285dx.  It fits great and all (I hit it now), but I didn't connect the diodes to one of the USB ports because the labeled connection keyboard backlight has no power to it.  I tried pressing fn + f5 f5 fn + space and all the other combinations that are supposed to enable/disable the backlight without success, but this isn't really a problem for me.

    The problem I have is that all the action key (function keys) are always the same maps as they were on the original keyboard, for example f10 volume upward on the original keyboard and f8 on the new, but it is still f10 which increases the volume on the new.  So I guess my question is how can I change/remap action keys to operate according to their brands.  I know that this was possible on the old series to dv9000 quick launch buttons, so I think it should be possible.

    Any help will be appreciated. (I'm not a noob so don't be afraid to be technical if necessary.)

    a possible program could be Keytweak.

    It allows you to remap the keys. but I don't know if it works with you FN + F keys. It remaps just your whole key. For example if you remap the F6 button instead of the button F8, F8 key becomes the F6 key.

  • ENVY of HP dv7 w / Win 8.1 freezes after the closing and re-opening of lid

    Computer: HP dv7 ENVY

    Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 QM 2.7 GHz

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Graphics Card & Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M (worm 331.82)

    Since the passage of Win 8.0 to 8.1, my laptop does not respond to the new entry after the closing and reopening of the cover.  As an attempt to circumvent the problem, in Control Panel (Control Panel > hardware and sound > Power Options > System Settings) I selected 'doing nothing' for preferences "when I close the lid.  After having opened the lid, tab browser fail to loa, windows cannot be enabled/disabled and CTRL-ALT-DEL gives no answer (preventing access to even the Task Manager).  The computer must be restarted to continue in force.

    This solution seems to have worked, even if I do not know why the four actions that were "resolved" by the resolution of the problems of power would cause the issue.

  • Win 7 key incomplete Product Code

    My laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook AH530) won't start. I can't access any sealing recovery so reluctantly seeks to do a fresh install of Win 7. The laptop came preloaded without a full disc and I think I'll need to create a new Win 7 CD... purpose the key code of the product based on my laptop has worn and only 15 of the 25 numbers are legible. Any ways around that?

    The best idea then is to ask Fujitsu recovery media and use it to reinstall Windows 7.

  • Win 7 keys on pictorial laptops

    Hello

    I volunteer for an organization who bought identical laptops 7 Dell prior to my arrival. They were all installed with OEM Win 7.  I would like to set up a (portable 'A') and an image allows you to transfer the config to each of them. If I copy the image on another laptop (Laptop 'B') can change the product key (CP-> system) and security-> system on the key that belongs to this (mobile 'B') it will work. If so it will invalidate the key of the machine used to create the image (portable 'A')?

    Ian.

    I recommend also to at least you a system image of two of these machines in the current state of factory as a backup.

    I should point out, if they are identical machines with the same edition of Windows 7, the switching keys may not even be necessary.

  • Satellite L670-1EE - reinstallation of Win 7 - key not readable series

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L670-1EE January 2011
    Now the system completely crashed and I need to reinstall from scratch.

    My problem is, that the first 5 digits of the product key Microsoft are not readable.

    Are there opportunities to get the key, or can I use a special image of Toshiba to retrieve?

    I can't access the installed windows, fails to start, I tried a recovery with a DVD of victory but it didn't work, so I need to reinstall it.

    > My problem is, that the first 5 digits of the product key Microsoft are not readable.
    This key cannot be used as part of the new Windows 7
    It is an OEM key that belongs to the image of Toshiba. For the most part, these keys don't work.

    The point is that Toshiba preinstalled system has already been activated in the image of the Toshiba.
    But there is no need to be activated after the recovery procedure.

    So if you want to use the own system of Windows, you must purchase a license from Microsoft.
    In case you want to use the image of Toshiba, you must use the Toshiba Recovery disk that probably, you have not created in the past. Right?

    In this case, there is another option: you can order this disc from here:
