View 3 RepliesI recently clean installed Win 7 and just realized i never got the drivers for my remote to work. Windows update did something and now my remote can only turn my laptop on but does not control anything else. I have a dv5-1235dx.

That is the page for my drivers but i dont see one that i think would work.
I have a dv4-1430... It wont boot after it fell down from a table. I am trying to figure out what could have went wrong.
When I power on, it starts and I can see microsoft corporation Text at the bottom, but I dont see vista logo..it keeps on trying to load Vista with no use.
My question is, could it be the problem with hard drive , or mother board?
i have studio 1537 - windows 7 and my REMOTE CONTROL : TRAVEL REMOTE CONTROL E dont work, is there any drivers to install or i need aplication?

Is anyone having trouble inserting their remote control into the slot on the left side of the laptop? My remote won't really fit...i can get it about 90% of the way in, but when i push to click it in/click it out, its like its stuck with sticky goo or something, it goes in really slowly to lock in place and comes out really slowly when i click it out of place.
Other than the media remote control issue, I'm liking this ALOT more than my tx2500 tablet with better cpu and graphics/video card.
The CIR remote on my HP DV5t for some reason began having limited functions. For example, the arrow buttons work, but the volume and mute buttons have stopped functioning.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a Dv7t and it came with a small remote and the basic question i have is:
Where does it go (if there is a slot in the laptop that can hold it)?
I noticed on top of the SD card slot thingy there is a rectangular cover with a symbol on it that is also on the remote (a rectangle with lines coming off of it to the left). Is that supposed to be taken off and the remote slides in there, or is that where you point the remote when you press buttons?
My hp.com customized dv4t arrived this morning and I have already managed to create a problem. I attempted to stick the media center remote into the eSata(or w.e) slot and I managed to push it in all the way, but now it is stuck. This isn't a problem as I probably will never use the remote, but it will be a pet peeve for a long time. Is there anyway to remove it?

Whenever I use the remote control for the Xbox 360, it turns on the laptop!
I bought one of these monsters a couple of months ago. Downgraded (?) it to XP pro sp3 and got everything working except the IR remote control.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I first got my HP DV7-1285dx with Vista (64) the remote control that came with it was working fine. I upgraded to the Windows 7 beta when it came out (I didn't do a clean install) and the remote was still working and kept working throughout the several beta upgrades I did later (to newer beta versions). However when the Windows 7 RC was released earlier this week I decided to do a clean install so I backed up the important drivers and files and did a clean Windows 7 install. After that my HP remote simply stopped working, the laptop won't respond to it at all (not in Media Center and not in anything else). I was able to reinstall all the drivers (from the backup) except for one which shows as "Unknown driver" in Device Manager, and when I do a driver update and point Windows to the folder including my backed up drivers, it does recognize the device as the "HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor" but says it encountered an error installing the driver software since it "couldn't find the file specified."
I don't know if this "Unknown driver" is in anyway connected to the Remote Control problem. I have no other problems showing in device manager by the way.
Also in an unrelated matter, I am trying to reinstall the MediaSmart software the came with the laptop. I downloaded the packages from the HP website but they won't install (since they're only update packages and not standalone installers I guess) so is there any way to reinstall the MediaSmart software from the recovery discs/partition?
There appears to be a slot it would fit into above the card reader on the left side. I haven't figured out how to take the metallic plastic piece out of it though.

I've got all the drivers accounted for in the device manager section,took a while to do but got there in the end!
Now I want to find a way of:
1) Getting the remote control to work with Quickplay - ie turn laptop on/off etc
with it
Recently,a friend gave me is hp pavillion dv5226ca(dv 5000 series)because he was buying a new one .The hdd was dead,so I changed it and installed a clean copy of XP Pro.I have downloaded all the drivers that were avalaible on hp website for this product(at least,all that were working),and all the laptop features are working,except quickplay buttons and the included mini remote.
If I press one of the 2 quickplay buttons while XP running,nothing happen.If I press it while the computer is off,then the laptop power on but loads XP normally instead of quickplay interface.Remote control doesn't work independently of the buttons pressed and power state.
In device manager,all the devices are working and installed properly.
What do I need to do to get those buttons and the remote to work,knowing I don't have anything else than the laptop and the charger?
which r better in ur experience for the GeForce 9600 M GT FTW?

i let a friend borrow my m1530 to watch movies one day. when he returned it to me...the remote was stuck in its slot. i'm guessin he tried to squeeze it in the slot, upside down.
i was wonderin if there was a way to take the laptop apart to get to the remote compartment without damaging anything.
i kinda miss havin the remote when i'm listenin to music from far away. if anyone has taken apart their m1530 or know how to, could u please let me know.
Out of the blue today, I received a package from Dell with the accessory kit for my M1530.
I guess I had finally complained enough about not getting it, even though people that ordered it about the same time I did, got theirs.
My only question, is where on the unit can I store the remote. I previously had an HP system where it had an expansion slot on the side that fit the remote perfectly, but I can't remove the little panel on the side of the M1530. Is that where it is supposed to go? Is there a button to push to get that little placeholder out?
I have bought DELL XPS M1530 Q3 laptop, formatted and reinstal Vista Home Premium which is given.
But now, I can't use my remote control.
I have installed Thomson Remote Control Driver from dellsupport page.
But it doesn't work. What can u suggest.
10x a lot.
does anyone know of a wireless (assuming bluetooth) remote control that is compatible with my CW when using WinDVD? I am too lazy to have to get up all the time while watching a movie when it is hooked up to my TV.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new Studio 1745 and I was wondering where I can find a remote for it...
Dell wasn't very helpful regarding the issue. I can't even see an infrared eye anywhere but there's gone to be one, right? Anyway, any advice would be appreciated...
I have a Dell XPS M1330. It comes with an IR remote which has a whole load of useful buttons.
I was wondering if there is any software out there which could change the keystroke each button does. I have tried looking for myself but all to no avail!
I know the remote works with Dell QuickSet however, it does not even mention the remote in the QuickSet settings, never mind allowing you to tweak it!
did anyone recieve a remote control with their xps as it mentions a remote in my order but i never did see one ....
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy travel remote isn't working anymore, I think it's because I got a system replacement. Do the remotes get "linked" to the system they are first used with by chance? This is on a SXPS 1645.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI want to use a Universal Remote to control my Dell laptop and my TV in one and since I have a XPS M1530 and one of those media control remotes, I figure I had 3 options:
1 Find a remote that my computer recognizes and/or figure out what buttons do what and pray it works.
2 Find out how to get my computer's IR to recognize a remote and then write drivers or something to do the rest.
3 Purchase IR sensor bar or something and do it that way.
Is it possible to get the Dell travel remote M09 to work on on the M1530? I have the M08 and that works but olny the buttons in common on the M09 work.
I can't get the MCE button to work or the standby.
If you look here, group 3 dont work or the i button.

i've installed the latest version of quickset for the 1530 but to no avail?
it looks like my XPS 1645 didn't come with a media remote like my old 1530 did. Is it possible to use the remote in the 1645?
It looks like the SXPS does have an IR receiver so I would think that it would be, but I'm not sure what sort of software I would need or how that would work.
I've been puzzled about the inclusion of an IR Receiver on my laptop for quite some while now - and recently, I've found out it's apparently CIR, which makes me able to use a remote with my laptop. I only want to do basic functions with this (inc/dec volume, pause playing videos, skip tracks on iTunes or Winamp...) - will any standard remote do the job?
I found this one - [url] - can anyone advise whether that would be ok, or whether there's an official Acer remote I should be using?
