Comment 3 for bug 1548903

Hi:

This is an HP "Pavilion dv7-4272us Entertainment PC".

BTW, I still have the same problem after updating to 4.2.0-30 version 36 (the version that came out 2/26/2016).

Thanks very much for looking into this.

I'm still stuck on 4.2.0-27 (which still works correctly for me).
