I am trying to restore the HP Pavilion dv7-1130us to original factory setrtings. The machine will not start with the F11 key depression nor will it start with delete or F10 or esc.  I need to restorew this machine to factory settings but can't find out how to do this.

Please advise.

Hello

 

Try a SHIFT + Restart, this should take you to the Recovery Screen

 

if that does not work then follow the document below to Run a Recovery :

 

http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00809678

 

If this does not work as well then the only other way is Recovery Media, I check the online option (http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv7-1100-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-serie...) but it is not available for your system anymore.

 

You can create recovery media using the Recovery Manager program then you can run recovery usuing them.

 

Else call up HP Support to see if you can order through them @18004746836
