Hi,sir i have hp laptop model pavilion dv5.my laptop touchpad is not working,i have chenged the windows few time,and also i reinstall my touchpad driver but the problem not solved,kindly to solve my problems

For long life battery:

-Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain laptop batteries.

-Disconnect all external device like PC Card modems, Firewire, USB devices and optical drives. Use the notebook touchpad instead of an external mouse.

-Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves battery power.

-Tweak Windows Power Options - Choose a Laptop power scheme that turns off the notebook monitor and hard disk after 10 minutes of inactivity.

-Decrease or mute the Laptop Speaker Volume.

-Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive.

Seems that we have the same problem..Did you solve your's .Please help me do mine..My e-mail adress : [email protected]'s

Right click on 'computer' icon

Select 'properties'

Choose 'device manager'

Look downlist to find touchpad listing 'mice and other pointing devices'

Click 'disable'. Then 'enable'.

Try again with touch pad.

You may need to uninstall the driver and the reinstall.

Hi,

I think the problem with your laptop is that the operating system on your laptop is corupt, that is why the windows is not responding.
I will advice you reinstall the operating system on your laptop, if the operating system can be reinstall, the windows should work fine and respond.

Take care.

Hi

If you go into device manager looked for the webcam uninstall it then restart laptop
hopefully windows will reinstall webcam correctly for you

good luck this normally fixes most problems

Turning the TouchPad on and off

To switch the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad on/off button.
NOTE: If the TouchPad light is on (amber), the TouchPad is off.

Save yourself alot of grief. Purchase a PCMIA or USB modem and your done. A very inexpensive fix. I am a certified HP Master tech and I will tell you that HP does have some consistent problems withg their modems. If you can spare a few bucks go to www.driveragent.com and try to locate an updated driver.

There are six models named dv5 1104. Click the link below and select your model.

I have the same laptop but I can't help with the touchpad issue (must be a hardware issue b/c mine works fine....try unstalling the driverm then reinstall the driver). The problem with the volume I can help you with: go to start and type in MSCONFIG and click on the startup tab, then uncheck the onscreen display for quick touch (the name may vary) item.....then reboot....now the volume will still change without showing you the annoying window (takes care of the random volume changes also & if the volume doesnt react, just tap the Stop button a couple times then change your volume)

now, the overheating and shutting down issue: go to HP's support site support.hp.com and type in the exact model number on the bottom of your laptop. now you need to go to the drivers and downloads section. there scroll down til you see BIOS. download and run this b/c it updates the laptop to where the fan inside will run faster and more often to compensate for the laptop running hot. helped mine out a lot.

Another thought (volume): uninstall just quicktouch in Programs and Features from the control panel. it gets rid of the annoying ticking when you adjust the volume....helped me out a bunch.
