0
0

This morning when I turned on my laptop the charger said: plugged in, not charging. However if I plug another hp charger into my computer it starts to charge, same thing with my charger if I plug it into another hp computer it will charge it but the second I plug it into my computer it doesn't want to charge. Both the computer and charger came together when i bought it, the computer is out of warranty but it's not old less then 2 years.

Left click on Pavilion laptop dv7 Synaptics Pointing Device v15.3.29 broken?

0
0

OK, I have a laptop and have use the touch pad and left/right click buttons built into my HP Pavilion dv7 for years without problems, until now.

 

The kids have played video games using the computer and have clicked the left click button like crazy - whcih, eventually, led to something in the left click button breaking, so that while the button itelf still functioned as it's supposed to, something under the left click button broke or fell away so that the left click button has sagged a little bit to the left.  Once that happened, the button still worked, but the button "wobbles" and you have to click on the right side of the left click button to make it work.

 

The button worked for a while after this happened, until recently....

 

Now when I go to click the left click button, it sort of locks up.  For example, I press the left click button, and the button seems to think I am trying to hold it down.  So, instead of clicking on something, like a save button, I click on the button and the mouse wants to "select all."

 

I plugged in a mouse and disabled the Synaptics pad just to make the computer work.

 

Is this problem mechanical rather than virus or software?  TThat's what I suspect.

 

How can I repair the left click button in the Synaptics pad?  Ca I take the computer apart and just replace the part under the left click button?  Can I do this easily from home?  What parts need I order?

 

I live in Seattle -- any suggestions or help GREATLY appreciated.

F5 key light

0
0

HP Spectra360    Is there any way to turn off the light under the F5 key?

 

If you use the F5 key to turn off the back lights for the keyboard, then the F5 key itself remains lit up, which is annoying, this single bright light just below the screen.

 

Thanks,

 

Bruce

DV7t 6000 will not power on

0
0

Hello,

 

I have a DV7t 6000 laptop that's just shy of four years old that has been working solidly up until this point.  However the last time I tried to power it on nothing would happen when the power button was depressed.

 

I have tried:

  • I have hard reset the device (but have no way to verify that this worked)
  • Reseated memory
  • Removed battery
  • Disconnected drives
  • Removed all USB devices

The system still does not power on in any manner and the only indication of life that I'm getting is that the AC adapter light is lit (with a white light) when the system is connected to the adapter or the battery attached to the computer (though with the battery, the light is a dimmer white).  Other than that, no other lights come on when the power button is depressed and no other indications of life are apparent.

 

My thoughts here are that something beyond the adapter/light system up to and including the motherboard are broken.  Or, best case, the connector that the power button operates through has somehow become disconnected.  I did replace the keyboard in the system over a year ago and added another hard drive and there haven't been any real problems that I've run in to with it since then.

 

Are there any other steps that can be taken to further identify and isolate the problem?   I have not tried it with another ac adapter, but I would imagine that the ac indicator on the laptop would rule that out as an issue, though at this point it would be preferrable to the alternative...

 

Any ideas?

Replacement Keycaps?

0
0

My enter key is stuffed and won't stick on properly. I tried Caps lock key as a replacement and this seems to be working fine, but I would probably like to use Caps lock key in the future so I'm looking for a replacement key cap. Does HP sell separate key caps? I know the key cap will be compatible with other Envy 15 laptops.

What's the difference between a "business class" notebook like the Probook and a "Consumer class" notebook like a Pavilion? Which ones are better?

HP Envy - 15t - Loose battery and hinge housing

0
0

So! I've just received my newly ordered laptop, which is much to my liking other than the overly-sized touchpad and the two problems right out of the box.

 

The battery when plugged in the laptop is a bit loose. If I lift up the laptop, I can push the battery up and down a bit just enough for it to make a clacking sound as it budges around, and that concerns me.

 

The other problem is that one of the corner pads underneath the laptop, specifically the one around the hinge, is loose.

Now I'd like to know, is it possible to just reattach the piece with adhesive (if it uses a screw I can't tell, because the other side is securely fastened) or would that pose a problem in opening were the laptop to need more extensive repairs in the future? Secondly, is the battery havng a bit of wiggle space any cause for concern considering that there's an extra locking switch underneath? It would be nice to know whether I can just pull some simple DIYs on this and start using it already or if I'm going to use my warranty on some repairs (I can't even find where to do that).
