HP 8560w hotkey buttons problem...

[Gadulowaty]

Hello,

Since I bought this notebook I cannot use hotkey buttons cause they does not work. I know that ACPI\HPQ0006 device is responsible for hotkey working or not. But I cannot find this device in device manager.

So, I would like to ask anybody using hp 8560w mobile workstation on this forum to check in device manager if device with ID ACPI\HPQ0006 exists on his/her notebook. This device should apear in keyboard node in device manager ( to identify this device you should go to properties of device to details page and choose form Properties "Hardware identification" ). I would like to be sure that it should be present, cause I dont want to bother hp support if problem is caused by something else.

For now I cannot find this device, and my hotkey does not work, all available software from support page is installed, no option in BIOS exists to turn on/off this feature ( or simple I cannot find it, so if anybody know how to enable/disable hotkey buttons

please help).

PS. for quick checking you can run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ACPI and check if this child node HPQ0006 exist. But keep in mind that regedit is advanced system tool and inproper usage may damage your windows installation. So be carefull.

Ok, found solution to my problem, that was not a problem with direct hardware failure. The reason of not working hotkeys was not connected cable to zif socket under keyboard. HP shame on you for your quality checking service.
