HP compaq laptop keyboard

The HP Compaq 488590-001 Keyboard allows the user to configure certain buttons, such as the Internet button, to open a specific webpage or computer program when pressed. Different buttons have different settings and you can quickly configure these buttons to open only the programs you actually use. Taking a few minutes to configure your keyboard’s buttons provides shortcuts to make work or web browsing faster and more productive.

Things You’ll Need: HP Compaq Business Notebook 6710B Keyboard/mouse driver update
1. Click the “Start” button and choose “Control Panel.” The Control Panel may take a few seconds to load on your screen. Once it appears, click “Keyboard.” If you do not see “Keyboard,” click “Printers and Other Hardware” and then click “Keyboard.”
2. Click the “Buttons” tab at the top of the “Keyboard Properties” box that appears on your screen automatically. Find the button you want to change under the “Configure a keyboard button” heading. Only certain buttons on the HP keyboard, such as the “Internet” button, can be configured. If you do not see a button on the list, it cannot be changed.

Lay the new HP Compaq Business 6910P Keyboard face down on the palm pad. Plug in the ribbon cables, ensuring that the retention pins are closed.
