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.

  • dv7 keyboard problems

    Hello!

    I have problems with my DV7 laptop computer (Windows 8, if it helps)

    Neither the numeric keypad and function keys are working, whenever I hit the num key is that a beep, but the keys do not work.

    I tried the assistant hp, install all of the updates, but the keys did not move.

    Before I contact the support I thought that it might be a solution somewhere... I used the search but could not find an appropriate response, to move the topic, if the category isn't fair.

    Thank you!

    Hello Germany!

    The mouse keys?

    Make sure you don't have MouseKeys turned on - nice feature, but it has some weird results if you do not understand what it does, or if you have a MouseKeys turned on by mistake.

    Windows key + U > facilitate the use of the keyboard >

    Uncheck the box "enable MouseKeys".

    You can also select 'how' you want your mouse to behave keys by clicking "Set up mouse keys" - This opens the menu if you have checked or not mouse keys...

  • On the Satellite L650-19W keyboard problems

    Hello

    A very strange and annoying problem developed on my laptop about four days ago. First of all, here's my laptop specs:

    Satellite L650 - 19W
    8 GB RAM (DDR3)
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 CPU

    The problem is that some of the keys also trigger others.
    For example, whenever I have reached space I get a 'p' first, followed by a space, exactly the same thing happens when I press 'p '.

    Similar results occur with the 'h' and ' 6 ', ' 3' and the '+', the 2 and the ' / ', the 'f' and 4', as well as a few others. The passage of the right hand does not work with all keys and BACKSPACE can not be held down, IE only deletes one character at a time.

    I tried to restore to a point in front of what is going on started, as well as the stop, remove the battery and holding down the button start for 60 s, the two nothing helps. I have read similar problems, some people have recommended BIOS update.

    I downloaded an update of the BIOS for this computer from Toshiba Web site, but I'm wary to run due to a lot of people say you can ruin your ifp computer you don't know what you are doing, is it true?

    Any help would be appreciated, because she makes me crazy! It took half an hour to type this message!

    Hello

    I think that there is no other solution than to replace the internal keyboard.
    I guess its problem of keyboard internal a simple malfunction what can happen to the keyboards of the domestic.

    Have you tried external USB keyboard? Try and test how the unit would be.
    I guess it will work properly and the question wouldn t occur in external USB keyboard.

    Just install Windows XP SP3 manually...

    Before do you - make sure you have restored all the way back to Internet Explorer 6 * and * all your drivers for hardware devices are the latest version of each of the web pages by the hardware manufacturer (Microsoft did not your hardware - to be of course checked manually for the most recent driver by visiting the Web pages or the manufacturers yourself and find the latest driver for any model device (s) you have - map) motherboard chipset video, audio, network, etc.)

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard that some keys do not work

    I have natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard for about a year now on Vista 32 bit. The keys P, [---],--------do not work (using keyboard on the screen so you may be wondering). Just downloaded and reinstalled the latest drivers and still does not work. It's a software thing or my keyboard was just wrong?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hi Savan,

    Thanks for the reply, I would have thought that in a first time. I advanced and tried on a laptop and the same keys still don't work.

    So assuming that the keyboard was already broken, I advanced and open. The fact that I learned a lot about the anatomy of a keyboard. Inside are four layers the rubber part were the keys strike and 3 layers of plastic, so did a quick inspection and noticed some dirt. Used some compressed air blower but the difficult part was cleaning between the 3 layers of plastic, I used a clean and dry cloth in the interval wiping and focusing on letters that were not work. While the keyboard is plugged in so I can test it and see if its working. And guess what, it WORKED. Following cleaning and re-assembled the keyboard. And works very well since.

    I hope this info helps others, sometimes we think air powder top is enough to clean the keyboard, but a few times can get average dirt under these layers of plastic.

    Thank you!

  • Update of the backlit keyboard

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop HP Pavilion 14 (product number: J2D11PA #UUF) and I LOVE IT! This is my 2nd HP pc. Everything is perfect except for the keyboard. It is not backlit. I always use my pc overnight and it is difficult to use a keyboard not backlit.  I wonder if it is possibe to a backlit keyboard, one to make it more comfortable to use at night. I would be grateful for your quick and helpful response.

    Note: I am from the Philippines and I would really, really grateful if you could tell me if the upgrade is possible here.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Backlit keyboard needs lights, to illuminate each of them, you need power and you need a motherborad which has a place to plug in all the cables (ZIF connector) for these lights. To upgrade the motherboard and keyboard backlit the cost could be about 50% to 70% (according to the cost of the work) from your computer now. The purchase of an existing machine with backlit keyboard is much cheaper.

    To answer your question: Yes, you can upgrade, but the cost is very high.

    Kind regards.

    Are you abele to use the USB mouse or the touchpad?

    If Yes, then you should be able get the system back to point in time at the beginning.

    Restart the computer, go to the area of backup and system restore, then select the save point that has been created in the past.

    This restores the system and fix the registry.

    I think the keyboard should work after this procedure.

  • Equium A60-692 - cannot open the start menu and keyboard problem

    I have a problem starting my laptop A60-692 and I'm not near the points of service.

    When I push the power button the screen goes through its startup routine gives her marching band welcome charge to the top of my desk.
    But when I click on the start only the start window flashes for a split sec and remains standing. If I press the windows key on the keyboard I can then click on the start and the start window appears on the screen.

    However if I open a program like note book or internet explorer, the keyboard will not and only gives a Bell sound when I use the keyboard. If I click Start, then shut down and click on restart the laptop turns off and then restart everything works fine!

    It's very boring and tedious. I'struggled with this for a long time, although it was not like that when new.
    Everyone had the same problem or have any advice to give?
    I would be very grateful!

    Concerning

    Hello

    Believe me it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    I would like to know where the mouse you are using. Use you touch pad s notebook or external mouse?
    If you use the s key to laptop please disable it with FN + F9 and test with an external mouse only.

    What about the response of the keyboard? You can also try to test with external keyboard only. Only in this way you can see if this issue has something to do with the internal keyboard.
    Please do some testing to see if this issues can be related to defective portable equipment.
