Just bought HP pavilion dv5-1008ca notebook the one user was pleased with it work’s performance. Only one thing he’s disappointed, the laptop volume slider has an act miff. As the HP pavilion dv5-1008ca has the volume slider “lighted” button that locate above the keyboard, each time he press the button even once, the volume starts going
insane and slides continuously up and down. It’s ridiculous and won’t stay stable after he adjusts it through the slider button.

Sounds like dv5-1008ca that getting ridiculous issue on it volume slider is because of bugs on the system. You will be able to resolve
the volume slider problem like above by did some update driver to the newest version. Once completely update you will need to open up Windows media player and pressed other buttons on the quick launch tray thing. Now you can restart your dv5-1008ca machine, and watch the results. In case the same problem is still comes, you can try restarting the laptop again in about 3 times.

Just bought HP Pavilion Dv2415nr ones found the laptop isn’t come with drivers. To recognizing all devices correctly then he’s try to download all require drivers from HP website. All devices are running properly except webcam and front headphone jacks. In order to get the webcam work he’s then updating the drivers to make it work on Vista service pack 1 but it doesn’t have good result. It’s still worst; the HP Dv2415nr webcam not work and getting error Code 10.

Sounds like this trouble comes because of Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for devices he’s try to
install. If you’ve got the same experience of webcam HP Dv2415nr not work, you need to use the right software of course. Here you can try using Cyberlink YouCam as this is the one software for webcam. Besides you need to make sure that you’re already update Vista to SP1 because Microsoft have an update to solve HP webcam. To do this you simply go to the properties of this web cam and click on update driver. This will make the system try to find the missing webcam driver.
