This is the most thorough site I’ve found on this tablet, but my problems are with its k6b54aa#aba keyboard. They “die” after about two months, and numerous users are requesting help with this problem, but HP offers absolutely zero support for the keyboard. I have installed the latest BIOS, tried the complete battery rundown and CMOS bleed-out, and uninstalled the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery driver from the Device Manager, but it reappears when I reboot. I have replaced the K6b54aa #aba keyboard twice, but refuse to buy a new one every two to three months. I don’t mind paying a competent tech to solve this problem (I’m in a very rural area with no nearby tech). Thanks in advance.
I need to add that the k6b54aa#aba is referred to as their “travel keyboard”. Thanks again.
