URGENT remote help

Hey guys,

I have a dv2000 laptop. My remote died all of a sudden. I checked the battery manually and shining it into a webcam. All fine. It was working fine, then it just stopped midway. I need it for a powerpoint presentation by this sunday! Do i need to update any drivers? I'm running on a clean install of vista.

 

i would like to state that it works right after for around 15 seconds. when i reboot/hibernate my computer, but it just doesn't work afterwards.

Help please!

 

Remote driver is bundled with Quicklaunch button drivers.

Try updating or outdating.

 

its a clean installed vista, and i updated quickplay. the quicklaunch buttons also work too. as i said, it works sometimes, then it doesn't work??

 

Odd...mine did the same thing all of a sudden a couple months ago and I checked using my camera phone and it seems to be working. But it just isn't working for some odd reason. I rarely use mine so it's not too big of a deal though.

 

Try using these drivers

aff flip that didn't work

Any other suggestions?

 

Why not throw a new battery in just in case? If you did no software changes or updates might not be software related. Weak batteries can cause temperamental operations.

 

well, actually, coincendtly, my 6 cell really just died.

PC Remote Control May Stop Working After Updating the BIOS Some bios updates knock out the remote as stated in this HP link, they have a new version for the DV2000 series to resolve the issue. See if your model applies for this fix.
