    I have this laptop dv7-1110eg ... with Ultimate 64bit

    I installed all drivers, but even with the Windows Genuine (Home Premium)
    the sensor panel (touch panel, fingerprint panel, volumen and multimedia control,.. sorry, i don't have clear of real name)
    Does not work

    operates at half
    because if the active volume is reflected in the panel ... like the wireless network

    does not work in contact with the fingers, that's the problem

    Where can be the problem?
    thank you very much
    greetings

    What you're referring to are the Touchpads (blue LED pads). Sometimes the drivers can get corrupted or the sensitivity settings could be off. Also, for volume settings understand that not all settings are tied to the Master volume control - some are relative to the Master setting. For example, if your Master is set at 50% volume, you could have WMP at 100% volume, but it's only at 50% really due to the the Master setting.

    Go here to this link and go through the procedure for setting up and ensuring proper Touchpad operation and sensitivity settings.

    On rare occasions, the assembly plant will screwup and mess up the installation - if the Touchpad assembly is intermittent or not working at all, then that's a likely cause.

    Also, be aware of Theater Mode - the little "projector" LED turns off all other LED's on the Touchpad when you're viewing a movie if you want to darken the system completely. If it's the only LED showing, then you need to push it to turn the others back on.

    Cyber... thank you

    no, I do not mean the touchpad ...
    I mean the volume control, wireless network, and play, stop ...

    which is tactile like the Touchpad

    sorry for my bad english
