Replacing hp dv9700 keyboard - HP Laptop Keyboard for HP Compaq Pavilion DV9000 DV9100 DV9200 DV9300 DV9400 DV9500 DV9600 DV9700 DV980...

REPLACE YOUR KEYBOARD.

Hi,

I think it could be the Motherboard, its already faulty it could be the connector from the Motherboard to your keyboard. I recommend to call the manufacturer for more assistance.

As long as the adapter you are going to use matches the specs of the required adapter, you shouldn't have any problems, check ebay for a replacement

For me when I toggle the num lock key, this causes the issue you describe: jkll;uiop would spit out 123-456*. I am using a HP Pavilion DV9000 series laptop.

A code 10 is usually indicative of a device that is not recognized by the computer, this could mean that is has failed, has become dislodged from its connector or the drivers are no longer valid or have failed to the point where they do not point the system to the device. Try downloading new drivers for the device. If that fails, try to remove the keyboard and replace with same or newer and check all connections. Below is the link to the service manual.

the only possable problem is the power source. so most likely your power converter box on the power cord has over heated, which is common, its expensive to replace though($70-85). if the problem continues take it to a shop don't try to repair the internal power converter yourself.

Try holding F11 while booting, sometimes this triggers the recovery partition.

Hi,

Thanks
