Hp Pavilion DV series Keyboard issue

Pablomota · 06-05-2006, 08:38 AM

Hi everybody, I,m new in this forum and i need some help about a mysterius keyboard problem in a notebook computer hp pavilion dv series (5200).

The notebook has installed winxp home edition and running under one AMD Mobile Semprom 2800+, the problem is when the computer have 5 or 10 minutes working, the keyboard start to fail simulating that de (x) key is pressed, and the left clik pad mouse fail too. I search in google and i found that some hp notebook has this problem and the hp support guys suggest reinstall the apci and keyboard driver in the system panel and update the bios.
I do all this things and the problem still there.

Note: All the operating system and driver are fresh installed and if i run the computer in the safe mode the mysterius problem it disappears.

It sounds like a hotkey problem, but I don't know right off the top of my head how to disable it. You could disable the startup items (start-run-msconfig-load startup items-disable all - apply), or you could google the hotkey problem.

Thats pretty crazy! If some keys were not working, I would think it would be the connector, but erratic keypresses and clicks, sounds like a nice hardware issue. At this point, I would simply replace the keyboard. The mouse (touchpad?) should be swapped too, if the keyboard didn't solve it. Unfortunatly, Impact Computers doesn't seem to stock HP parts...
