HP Wireless Keyboard No longer Recognized by Touchpad

Hey guys,

So I had a problem where my touchpad no longer recognized my bluetooth keyboard. Here is how to fix it. Essentially you have to re-pair the keyboard.

1. Turn the keyboard off, that is the button is to the left if the keyboard is facing down
2. Go to the bluetooth settings
3. Go to + Add device and select keyboard
4. NOW switch the power on, that is the switch should be to the right if the keyboard is down
5. It will find it again, click pair

Yea took me a long time to figure it out since it was already listed under devices but greyed out

HP Touchpad Crackling/Static/Tinny Sound

If you are getting static sound from the speakers I noticed something that will fix it.

The speakers were fine until I plugged in the headset to listen to some music. When I went to play it back out of the speakers it was crap. What you need to do is turn the volume ALL THE WAY DOWN, after using the headphones. weird but it solved my problem.

Okay It keeps Happening D: here are some other suggestions I have found.

1. Turn the Sound all the way off, then all the way back up

2. Make a skype call to echo

3. Go into sleep mode while playing sound.

4. Turn the Touchpad on and off





HP Touchpad and WebOS Doctor

So I got suckered in to buying a used HP Touchpad. Still pretty close to the new list price of 150$.
Anyway when I got it I thought there was a problem with it so I called support to ask what to do.

Here are the steps for reinstalling the WebOS software if the Touchpad isn't working:

Navigate to: http://ws.hpwebos.com/webosdoctor/serialnumberinitial.htm

If that doesn't work and you end up at the select a device page, just click the palm pre.

Enter the serial number

fb359ua11aba which will be detected as a touchpad.

you need java installed but you will be prompted to download the webos doctor. Just follow the instructions.

After doing a system scan, there will be a prompt to plug in the touchpad. Make sure you press the volume up and power button to enter usb mode.
