My laptop will not turn on at all...I want to remove the HD and get a docking station but don't know if it is  2.5 or 3.5.

 

Is there a good docking station that will work with this HD?

Portable (new) keyboard

Hello,

 

I don't know if I am at the right sub-forum, excuse me, but I need some help about my accessories. Recently I broke my keyboard (spare p/n 783099-b31) by accidentally dropping water on it. Since then it hasn't worked and I really miss a keyboard wich I can easily bring with me when travel. I looked for some new keyboard that fit this model, but sadly I can't find any cause I don't know if they fit. That is where I need your help. I am looking to buy a new one which is the same, or close to this model I have right now. Also, I am hoping there is a keyboard that actually can hold my screen without using the attachable leaner. If you know what I mean. 

 

Can anyone recommend me some good keyboard(s)? I am from The Netherlands, so if people have Dutch websites that would be great. 

 

Yours sincerely,

Johnnie

I just bought this notebook 17 and the battery completely discharges with little or no use in less than 24 hours. Is this normal, and if it is that seems unexceptable. I have tried to contact support but this seems like the only way to talk to anyone.

Re: Envy 6 hinge stiff and causing problem with screen.

The left hinge on my HP Envy Sleekbook 6 1083ca seems to make a "creaking" sound   and has separated the layers on the back of the screen  three times since I have bought this laptop, or approximately once a year. The first two times that this occured it was still under warranty. It is no longer under warranty and it was inevitable that this would happen again.

 

The laptop has never been dropped or abused in any way. It sits on a desk and it is occasionaly moved to another room. I am the only person which ocassionaly uses this laptop and there are no children present. The laptop is still operating, however, the next time the cover is closed, the laptop screen will break and it will become unusable.  At this moment the screen is very flimsy and repositioning it would break it.

 

 It seems as if this is a defect in this laptop as there are many other complaints of the same nature and with my own experience of having the screen break three times at the exact same place.  This is very disappointing of an other wise problem free laptop.  The laptop itself is defective and HP should do the honourable thing and assist its customers.

CD tray stuck and won't open on laptop

Hi. I've been ripping some CDs to iTunes and the CD drive has become stuck. When I eject it whirrs but doesn't open. I switched the machine off and used the little hole with a paperclip to manually open and that worked BUT on restrating the laptop eject still doesn't work and whirrs but doesn't open. I've now switched off and manually opened with a paperclip a few times and each time after logging back in it still doesn't eject without being manually forced. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance...

First, I am Korean.In my country, I have not supported the product support, so I contacted you here.

 

I ask you about 15-b119wm products.

 

I would like to know if this laptop has m.2 ports or msata ports except sata.

 

Because I want to use SSD degree with HDD degree.

Brightness and volume keys not working on Pavilion dm4-2153ca

Hi,

 

I recently completely cleared my laptop and re-installed Windows 7 due to a virus. I am having issues with my brightness and volume control buttons on the keyboard. The brightness buttons do not work at all and there is no option to adjust the brightness via the power options either. My laptop is stuck on the highest setting.

 

The volume buttons seem to adjust the volume appropriately, but the icon that typically appears in the middle of my screen when I do so is not there (the grey volume icon that appears when you use the f9 and f10 buttons and fades away shortly after). Additionally,the mute botton also seems to work but the red light on the f11 key does not respond accordingly, I only know it works from the volume icon on my taskbar. 

 

I had some help from Paul Tikkanen in downloading several missing drivers for various other issues so I'm wondering if this is also a poblem that can be solved with a similar download? If not, is anyone able to suggest other solutions? 

 

Thank you,

 

Kristen 

Laptop battery does not charge while powered on and AC no recognized as plugged in

0

My laptop battery will only charge when it is powered down and the AC adapter is not recognized as plugged in while it is on.  I am using the original AC adapter.  While using the laptop with the AC adapter plugged in the laptop only runs on the battery.  The battery will charge only when the laptop is turned off or in sleep mode.

 

The LED light next to the plug port turns on when I plug in the AC Adapter but the computer is not recognizing the adapter as plugged in.

 

I removed and reinstalled the battery drivers through device manager

I ran the batter diagnotics and the battery check good but the AC adapther reports as not plugged in when it is plugged in

 

Could this be caused by insufficient contact at the computer plug port?  It is obviously making contact because the battery is charging but only when the laptop is turned off.

 

I will look throught the BIOS setting but I doubt there is a setting to disable charging when the laptop is on!!!

 

Thank you in advance for helping we with this.

Hello!

Very first venture into the "windows" side of things.  We got this laptop via Air Miles and have been extremely disappointed.  Seems very slow and unresponsive, very poor results trying to stream netflix.  It came pre loaded with Windows 10.  We tried to return the lap top, but were refused by Air Miles.

 

I see that it is possible to increase the memory from 4Mb to a maximum of 16Mb.  Will this help?

 

 

Thanks!

Upgradable ram

Hi

 

The product specifications for this laptop state it has 8Gb RAM but nowhere can I find whether this can be upgraded. I am considering purchasing this laptop to replace my ageing Toshiba i5 which has started to fall apart, it would be good to get clarification before I spend my money.

 

Many thanks.

USB-C/Power cable for connection between Thunderbolt dock and Zbook 15 G3

The cable is broken, and I cannot find anywhere to buy just the cable.

I cannot believe that I need to buy a new package (dock, cable etc,) when I just need the cable?
