Wireless keyboard not working

A few things come to mind. Are you sure the printer isn't a D4160??? The C4160 was sold in England. Anyways...

First, when you hit print a box opens up. On the top of that box make sure your printer is the one selected. It will have a green checkmark by it.

Second. Make sure the USB cable is connected between computer and printer. The Hp pavilion a1710n doesn't have a wireless network chip so it will need the USB cable connected for it to print.

I assume your laptop prints wirelessly and that is why it works and the HP does not.

Good Luck

exact key board driver install then try
what keyboard model?
download load driver for keyboard
update keyboard driver

maybe reseat the keyboard if a "switch it off and back on" does not work

shows you how to remove keyboard (and part number you can ebay for a new one maybe)
you should plug in a usb kboard to test its just the built in kboard....
hope that helps

Install the driver for that wireless keyboard and try again.
if it won't, then chage the battery on the Keyboard.
again if it won't then the issue might be with the Keyboard hardware.

Hi, I'm guessing you have tried using both the left shift and the right shift?.
if one works and the other doesnt I'd say the keyboards stuffed.

If its a funky multimedia keyboard there perhaps may be some key/button to enable/disable shift and or special characters, but I have never seen a keyboard like that.

Do all the numbers and alpha characters work, its just to sybols about 1 to 10?.

This is a wireless keyboard?
Maybe reset the keyboard, normally the base unit and the bottom of the kboard and mouse have a reset/reconnect button, worth a try but I suspect it wont help.
Trying new batteries probably wont help either but probably worth a try.

Failing that, I'd plug in an old usb/ps2 keyboard into your pc and see if that works OK (you'll need to reboot first if its a ps2 keyboard), just to rule out any strange software issues.

All that said however, I suspect you may be looking at a new keyboard.
I do think its worth trying the above first though.
Good luck.

the langauge settings may not be right


uninstall it and start all over again but pay attention

if this doesnt work try the logitec site

you might have to review the driver version of your wireless. try to check if there are updates that might fixed the bug. go to my computer, right click, manage, device manager, network adapters - under it move your mouse on top of the wireless, right click, properties, driver and check driver version and date. then go to your hp pavilion product support http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=432999&taskId=135
and look for new version of network wireless driver might have. let me know if this doesnt fix the problem.

Step 1 mark: "Download drivers and software (and firmware)"
Than follow instructions.

This is probably the closest model to your HPdv9000, click on the link and read on! http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-keyboard-replace-memory-hp-compaq-nc6400/

Good luck and have fun!

Probably the keyboard you got is defective. I have seen buttons working in very bad conditions. When a key doesnt work or several is bad news.

Try to get a replacement. Since you have already reseated this simply check if the flex cable is properly locked, (ear plugs or similar) and not moving.
