Blinking caps lock LED on HP envy 6t-1100
A coworker replaced the keyboard on an HP envy 6t-1100 laptop because some
keys on the keyboard were no longer working. When he powered on the laptop
after replacing the keyboard, the laptop would no longer boot. Instead of
booting, the CAPS LOCK LED would blink three times slowly followed by a pause
and then the sequence would repeat. The F5 key LED was also lit along with the
WiFi LED, which was red. I found some posters on HP's website associating that
behavior with issues with a memory module. E.g.,
Blinking caps lock 3 times, screen black, f12 wifi light on Hp Pavilion
dv7-6c64nr entertainment pc and
Caps Lock and Num Lock blinking 3 times / Memory module issue.
He was able to resolve that problem and get the latpop to boot again by
blowing out the sockets with compressed air and cleaning the contacts on the
memory modules with rubbing alcohol.

Problem with Media Card Reader in HP G70 Laptop
A family member has an HP laptop, model number HP G70-460US. I upgraded
Microsoft Windows on the system from Vista to Windows 7 a few weeks ago.
Today, when she tried using memory sticks from her camera in the media card
reader built into the laptop, Windows Explorer would stop responding. I
attempted to restart Windows Explorer, but it wouldn't restart. Nor could
I shutdown and restart the system without powering it off using the power
button.
I tried a couple of memory sticks, but the result was the same. She could
sometimes move files from a memory stick, but then attempting to access
the memory stick again would cause the Windows Explorer to stop responding.
I downloaded and installed the Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver, which
appears to have resolved the problem.
