The audio controls on the top of the keyboard has stopped working.

At the top of the keyboard controls that control the volume mute and sound stopped working.  The machine is a Pavilion dv7 Windows 7.  Sound keys are light up and when the machine starts and stops the symbol for the 'secret' change to red.  After booting the machine it turns on but does not work.  I was wondering if these controls are selectable by software and I stop them inadvertently.

Hello

Try a Hard Reset as follows.

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, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

Kind regards

    The computer is one that I built several years ago.

    I tried the things:

    1. I tried the ALT, left SHIFT + Number Lock which is indicated as mouse keyboard operation who has worked in the past.

    Well it does not either from the keyboard is dead.

    2. I tried PS2 Mouse and a keyboard.

    3. I tried a keyboard and a USB mouse. The system shows new hardware found and he wonder then click NEXT to load the driver. No mouse, no keyboard, so no click.

    4. I can't get into the bios, because I can't hit keys to vector in the bios during startup.

    5. I tried to load the Windows XP disk, but the startup routine ask me to hit any key to boot from the CD.

  • Satellite P850-12Z - several keys on the keyboard has stopped working

    Hi all

    It all started a month ago or not.
    My keyboard of laptop (a Toshiba Satellite P850-12Z) began to fail. First was the BACKSPACE key, but subsequently was the numeric keypad 3 key and the Enter key.

    They start working if I hit them several times about 10 seconds or more. You can imagine it's very annoying and frustrating.

    Do I need a new keyboard? For more information, the keyboard fails also under linux.

    In case I need a new keyboard I think that Toshiba was of very poor quality, and I will never buy a Toshiba again.

    My last laptop was from another brand, and the keyboard never lack in 5 years.

    > Do I need a new keyboard?

    Probably yes.
    Connect the external keyboard and check if its not working properly.

    If the external USB keyboard works, so is there a problem with the keyboard controller but with internal keyboard.

  • Use high CPU (35% average) while System Idle process CPU about 98% but frustrated by "[name of the prog] has stopped working".

    Hello

    I am trying to help someone with a laptop HP model g6-1202sa (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, another record at the end of the post).

    I think that Windows is now updated and drivers, but the problem remains also.

    The laptop has the symptoms mentioned in the title I found the Manager tasks.  Laptop fan is on a large part of the time, and the owner says that, during the execution of something more intensive than Skype for example of internet browsing, they get a warning from Norton on high CPU. Resource monitor shows that system interrupts are on average about 31% CPU.

    The results, I found the task manager has led to some research on Google, which in turn led me to want to run adksetup.exe (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit) in the hope of discovering if a particular driver is causing the problem. (Various threads on the internet point to what is the way to go).

    However, after downloading adksetup.exe, when I try to launch it I get the initial screen of Toolbox and then 'assessment of Windows and the deployment for Windows 8.1 Kit has stopped working ". (Verification of the solution finally gives the only option to "Close the program").  Similarly, I have now discovered that if I try to look at the properties of the computer, i.e. start > right click on computer > left click on properties, I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working". Do more research on Google I find sometimes I get "Internet Explorer has stopped working" sometimes (Chrome is ok).  More out of curiosity than anything specific I ran AMD VISION Engine Control Center after right click on the desktop and ended with 'Catalyst Control Center; The host Application has stopped working".

    So before going any further, does anyone have any ideas what's happening?   I do not understand the problems 'has stopped working"in safe mode, but the high utilization of the processor with System Idle Process around 98% is still there.  It appears so that I can run adksetup.exe in safe mode while this would be the way to proceed and continue to try to tackle the problem of CPU?

    For the record, some of the things I've done along the way include update of Windows, updating drivers, running the file system (no violation of integrity) checker, a regular chkdsk ("CHKDSK discovered free space marked allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap. Correcting errors in the volume bitmap. Windows has made corrections to the file system").  Swapped the only module memory 4GB 2 x 1 GB modules I had to hang out, all the symptoms remained 4 GB then reinstalled.

    Thanks for the tips

    Since the observer event logs, these are some of the problems

    Software connection of 1 hp mgr is damaged and needs to be installed.  There are literally hundreds (or even thousands of these errors)

    Cannot find the description for the ID of the event source hpCMSrv 5. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

    The description for event ID 100 from source CVHSVC is not found.

    7. the description of event ID 3057 source client Application Virtualization Client cannot be found.

    As you can see there are at least a dozen of them which are probably related to the high utilization of the processor.

    The drivers are not updated (Bet you checked in the Manager device or with a sweeper driver as app)

    To be honest I don't see how SFC returned no breach of integrity account required to this type of problems.

    It might just be easier to re - install win 7, but I'm happy to help anyway
