Several keys on laptop does not

I have an EliteBook 2740 and there are several keys (6,7, y, u, h, j, n and m) stopped working. Any suggestion?

Hello

Maybe it's a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.

Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

Kind regards

  • Hall 13: HP pavilion laptop does not connect to the printer HP envy range 7640

    My laptop does not connect to my HP envy printer. It keeps saying the driver is not available or is it ready, but does not connect. I know the printer is working because I can print from my phone. Anyone know the driver I need to download or what to do?

    Ruizgeraldine

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the problems with your Envy 7640 in Win10 printer and wanted to help.

    The problem is that by default HP print drivers installed by the upgrade of Win10 often do not work.  I have two HP printers and neither one worked after the Win10 upgrade.  We also receive a lot of messages of other people with the same problems.

    I linked the page drivers and software for the Win10 drivers for your printer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-7640-e-all-in-one-printer-series/6617267/model/6617268#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930C7

    You must download and install the full feature software and drivers for the printer.

    Then unplug the printer and install the software.

    Do reconnect the printer until the installation program invited to do so.

    Once the installation is complete, restart.

    You should then be able to use your printer in Win10.

    Good luck

  • My laptop does not work on battery even though the indicator said there are 90% of the available power

    original title: laptop BATTERY

    My laptop does not work on battery even though the indicator said there is a 90% power disponiblesLorsque it is plugged in and charging. The battery would be dead even if she says she can still exist?

    Hello

    Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
    (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
    problems.

    Control Panel control - plan change Options - power plans - power - advanced settings
    Parameters for the drainage and the use of parameters (this is how much to use and not how much or how)
    long to load).

    In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With today
    systems overload are not a problem.

    Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

    Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
    eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
    them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
    Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
    However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
    When this is possible.

    I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the

    Thank you, Josh

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with your Windows 7 computer. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. Then I suggest you to perform auto repair. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check
    in both ends of the cables. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For portable computers, you can
    Often, clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system
    Designer and manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case

    No function while others do so properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? He
    are some registry entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "might".
    be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and possible device for two firmware
    updates
    and the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive - sub
    the key of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific
    involved as well as the settings key.

  • Problem with my Acer laptop does not connect to my home network.

    Hello

    I had a problem with my laptop. The laptop does not connect to my home network.

    I found the wireless network, but when I hit enter after entering the password (), suddenly a pop up come that said "Windows could not connect to the network". The laptop connects well with portable hotspot in my phone (3 G Tethering). But my phone (Samsung Galaxy Pocket) connects to the home network.

    My specs:

    Acer Aspire 4250 ongoing Windows 7 SP1.

    Dlink DSL-2730u (secure wifi with WEP 128 bit key)

    Please solve my problem...

    Original title: problems with my Acer laptop

    Guess - encryption levels are the same. E.g. is your set of router that you use WEP only but your PC configured to use WPA only? http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-HK/Windows7/set-up-a-security-key-for-a-wireless-network

    If this is the case try to configure WPA2 or WPA rather than fall to WEP.

    Check all the other related settings as well. knowledge is the router using MAC filtering, are there available IP address so that it can allocate? (some routers are possible to limit the amount of IP address, they can allocate at one time).

    Second, if it does not remove the encryption all and see if it connects then. JUST AS a TEST, do not leave it.
