Hello I am currentyl operating the hp pavilion dv5-1125nr notebook and the volume button located in the very front center directly above F7 and F8 is broke and keeps beeping... Can I mute the sound somehow? I tried uninstalling the Quick Touch program but that only ended up with a default sound to replace the original one...

Hello,

Try this

Function Keys Fn+F1 - Places the computer into sleep mode
Fn+F2 - Changes the (I-Powerxross) power settings
Fn+F3 - Switches display modes: LCD only, External monitor only, LCD+External Monitor
Fn+F4 - Turns Wireless LAN on/off
Fn+F5 - Switches OSD (on screen display) on/off
Fn+F6 - Turns the Touchpad on/off
Fn+F7 - Turns the Webcam on/off
Fn+F8 - Mute Sound
Fn+F9 - Reduces speaker volume
Fn+F10 - Increases speaker volume
Fn+F11 - Reduces the screen brightness
Fn+F12 - Increases the screen brightness
Fn+Esc - Toggles Bluetooth & 3G on/off (optional)

Thanks

You can use the "Fn" + F7 and F8 key from the key to increase the Colour and Brightness of the Screen

You need to install the special keys manager for all of that.

Sound processor is built in to the machine.

Above the keyboard is a row of buttons - look for the one that has a loudspeaker symbol followed by a circle with a diagonal line through it - that is the mute button. Press it to mute/unmute. There are two other buttons for volume up and volume down.

use the "Fn+ X" where X stands for the function key i.e. F1, F2 like that on which the small light symbol is printed

1>>Find the Product no. i.e P/N # on the white bar coded sticker on the notebook and then go software download site of hp.
2>>Click on Download drivers and software and put the P/N# in the box.
3>>Choose the operating System and then download the latest BIOS and install it

it may happen that your extetnal (VGA Display) is enabled, this will disable your LCD Display.
just press Fn key and look function keys where monitor symbol is drawn ( that is F7 or F8 key. (turn on laptop then press Fn + F8/F7)

there is a button named "fn" near the space button.
take it press, and control the light with f7 and f8
