Pavillion DM 1 - 2010nr Entertainment Notebook (I want my baby back!)

OK, I am having a hard time of this, and I will try to be as complete and accurate as possible.
I got excited about Windowas 8 and downloaded a compatibility checker and found my notebook to be compatible, so I installed it, and I hate it! I am sureit is great on a device with a touch screen, but it was slow andunresponsive, and many of the programs that I have will not run on it at all. So of course I wanted to revert back, and nothing worked, system restore, recovery, recovery partitian, everythign is gone.
I found and downloaded a Windows 7 home premium installation disk, and was able to get it installed but it did not recognize the wireless broadband devices, so now I have a device with Windows & home premium back on it that cannot connect to the internet (wirelessly).
There are three devices listed in the ceviuce manager:
HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Maodule
Network Controller
Unknown device
I can see on the product label that it has a Broadcom Corporation Radio BCM94313HMGB. It also refers to the Gobi 2000.
This was originally purchased through Verizon Wireless, but the wan support through Verizon has been terminated, and this was just being used to conect in WiFi areas.
I would really like to restore this device to what it was before I installed Windows 8.
It was quite possibly the most reliable portable computer I have ever owned, and I would like it back.
I found rthat I can not download recovery disks, but there has to be an option for people who have had the recovery partitian corrupted...(I hope)...
Suggestions?

Hi:
You probably need these drivers and software for the WWAN module.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-90426-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-87520-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
You need this driver for the WLAN adapter...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-107849-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
And this one for the bluetooth for the Broadcom card.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-86863-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Please post the hardware ID for the unknown device. If you don't know how to find a hardware ID, please read the info at the link below.
If the hardware ID is HPQ0004, then this would be the driver you need.

HP Pavillion dm4 - 1002tx Entertainment Notebook - Hardware Upgrade

Hi,
Does anyone can help me answers my silly questions regarding above subject. I have just installed a simulation games on my laptop HP PaviIlion dm4 - 1002tx Entertainment Notebook. I have problem on running it and beleive that my laptop system doesnt meet the requirements.
Games Installed Minimum Requirement:
OS : Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Processor : 2.66GHz Intel Core2 Duo E6750 or 2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Memory : 2GB RAM
Graphics : 256 MB DirectX 9 / NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT or ATI RAdeon HD 2600 XT
Hard Drive : 12 GB HD Space
Sound : DirectX 9.0c - compliant
Games Installed Recommended :
OS : Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Processor : 3.1GHz Intel Core i3-540 or 3.3GHz Athlon II X3 455
Memory : 4GB RAM
Graphics : 512 MB NVIDIA GT 240 or 512 MB ATI RAdeon HD 5670
Hard Drive : 12 GB HD Space
Sound : DirectX 9.0c - compliant
My HP Pavillion dm4 - 1002tx has 4GB RAM and Intel Core i5 -520M 2.26Ghz.
1- Can I upgrade my Processor to meet the requirements above?
2- What will be the type of upgrade to be done?
3- Is it possible to upgrade my processor from 2.26Ghz Intel Core i5 into Intel® Core™ i5-4690K Processor
(6M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) ?
Please need badly your help.

No you absolutely cannot upgrade the processor from a first generation Core i5 to a 4th generation. The plug (socket) in the motherboard is not the same. The processor you refer to is not even a laptop processor, but you could not even install an equivalent laptop processor. Your real problem is I believe you have the Intel graphics, which do not meet the minimum specs in any way. You could install a processor that would be in the range necessary to play the game but that is not the whole issue. The fastest procesor you can install would be:
Intel® Core™ i7 processor 640M, 2.80-GHz (SC turbo up to 3.33 GHz), 4-MB L3 cache
You could also install a motherboard with better graphics that are between the minimum and recommended specs.
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD6370 with 1024-MB of dedicated video memory [128-MB×16 DDR3, 800-MHz])
Whatever game that is has some moderately high recommended specs, but not super high. HP does currently make consumer laptops that would meet those specs. There is just no way to upgrade yours to get the necessary video performance to play it without buying a new processor and motherboard, which will not be much less than a new laptop.

HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC ISSUES!!!

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.I BOUGHT A TX2000 LAPTOP A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.THE THOUGHT OF IT MADE ME HAPPY SINCE THIS LAPTOP COST MUCH AND I WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO WAS ABLE TO BUY IT.AFTER A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS,IT SUDDENLY HANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WORK AND WON'T TURN ON.CONSIDERING THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY,HP DID NOT GIVE A HELL OUT OF MY QUESTIONS.SO I JUST CONSIDERED THAT MAYBE BECAUSE I OVER USED IT OR WHATEVER.BUT AFTER I READ COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME MODEL,I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT IT IS NOT MY FAULT BUT THE FAULT OF THE COMPANY.
PROBLEM:AFTER TURNING THE MACHINE ON,FAN AND LIGHTS ARE ON BUT IT NOTHING WILL APPEAR ON SCREEN.
I TRIED PLUGGING IT TO A DIFFERENT MONITOR AND STILL NOTHING.THEN I REMEMBERED THAT NO MATTER HOW COLD THE PLACE OR ROOM WHERE I WAS USING THE MACHINE,THE HEAT OF THE LAPTOP KEEPS ON INCREASING!!!
TELL ME,IS IT THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT?I,TOGETHER WITH SOME WHO I AM SURE WILL SUPPORT ME, DEMANDS A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT SINCE AS WE CONNECT STORIES,IT OCCURS AFTER USING IT FOR A YEAR.COINCIDENCE OR INTENTION???
PLEASE HP,IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS AND LOSE TRUST, PLEASE HEED THIS REQUEST OF MINE AND RECALL THE PRODUCT!!!
PRODUCT NAME:HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC

I also have the tx2000 with nothing but problems. If you get the blank screen here is what you need to do:
Turn the computer off and flip it over. Blow dry through the vents on medium heat for about a minute. Keep the blowdryer moving. Wait a minute and then turn it back on. The heat from blow dryer warms up the chip and it will work again. I have to do this every once in a while with mine. And also make sure you buy a laptop cooling fan for yours. I have mine on continuously and it helps, although it still overheats on occasion.
Here is a class action lawsuit that was just settled: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/521913-nvidia-reaches-settlement-class-action-suit-affecti...
Unfortunately for some reason it doesn't look like the tx2000 is included. I may just take them to small claims court.

HD Replacement for HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello.
I have a HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC , Product Number: XL303AV
I am having SMART HD monitor failure mensage at startup and the computer is very slow.
I just bought a OCZ Vertex V3 SSD 256mb and i want to create a recovery media but the recovery media creation in my computer is not working.
I did a backup of my files and a complete recovery from the F11 at startup.
The Notebook is runnig good, but the SMART screen reporting failure keeps appearing and windows is poping up HD failure alert.
The recovery media creation keeps not working (32GB USB drive), the formating step do not end never. I already tryied with another USB pendrive and no sucess.
The recovery partition is there. How to create a recovery media for my new SSD HD ?
Other problem:
I tryied to order the recovery media at HP site but i have a USA buyed notebook and i live in Brazil, and it is impossible to order that for shipping to Brazil (stupid). HP Brazil do not recognize my serial and produt number, sending me to USA site.
My windows 7 is the 64bits Home Premium.
Help me
Regards
Cristiano

Hi,
If the impending failure alert from the HD SMART is popping up, then creating USB from the original hard disk at this point is not likely to be successful.
You can try copying the recovery partition to an external drive in order to keep it. Use the OCZTechnology forum as a source for how to initially setup the SSD drive. I have a Vertex 3 SSD in this particular desktop PC and I love the performance it provides.
What was the size of the original hard disk?
I highly recommend that you use the Porutgese language HP Consumer support forum if you are familiar with the language. There are experts there who are quite likely to be familiar with the problem you are facing with in acquiring the recovery disk set. I met some of them last March in San Francisco at the HP Social Summit.
All you need to do to access the Portugese language HP Global forum is change the language tab at the upper right where it says English to Portugese.

HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive Replacement

Hello,
I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and I had had hard drive issues from within warranty period. i.e. I purchase in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and again in 2012. Next time it failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on an average).
Last time when it failed, the warranty had expired so I thought of giving it a few try e.g. running thru bad sector fixing/writing-off softwares from seagate, Toshiba....this got me out of Smart Drive Error.
I have been using the HDD for sometime now but want to be prepared for the next round and I'm sure it'll be gone for good the next time.
Current HDD is 640GB, 7200 RPM Hardrive (replaced in 2012). HP Part# 621046-001.
When replacing, can I use ANY 640GB hard drive? Can I use a hard drive that is larger than 640 GB? Different RPM?
Any suggestions about hard drive?
The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work correctly. I had to use the first set I had created right after I purchased the laptop.
Thank you.

Hi Pratik Patel
According to product manual:
Your system supports SATA 9.5mm or 12.5mm , 2.5" HDDs
supports upto 2 hard drives
supports SSD too.
Single hard drive configurations supported:
250GB, 320GB, 500GB @7200RPM @9.5mm
640GB @5400RPM @9.5mm
750GB, 1TB @5400RPM @12.5mm
160GB SSD
If you want dual hard drive configurations, please click following link (user manual):
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf
But, there is not hard fast rules that only 5400rpm can be used instead of 7200rpm, which was used to replace your earlier hdd.
hope this has helped you.

How do i factory reset my HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC?

well i am having a problem here on factory reseting my notebbok pc i just want to get rid of everything and start fresh again but when i do it ask me for a recovery disc which didnt come when i bought my computer any suggestions?
Thanks you

Most consumer computers haven't come with OS Discs or Recovery Discs since about 2004. If you didn't create your personal HP Recovery Media, please contact official HP customer support, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to check on the availability of HP Recovery Media for your computer. If in the USA, you can also order the HP Recovery Disc set "658862-001 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit" from third party vendor ComputerSurgeons.com
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 SP1 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer.Please see the HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page for Windows 7 drivers.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Upgrading CPU - HP Pavilion dv6-3236nr Entertainment Notebook PC

hello all,
First post here and what i am trying to do is research the possibilities of upgrading my CPU. The model is in the subject line and i will include as much info as i could find:
HP Pavilion dv6-3236nr Entertainment Notebook PC
Intel core i3 M370 with 2.4Ghz and 4gb memory
64 bit running windows 7
Trying to upgrade to an i5 possibly. Maybe upgrade the RAM if anyone has a reason why it would be necessary. Trying to stay cheap and plug and play, as i don't want to replace anything but these two components.
Thanks for any guidance!

Hi,

Wanting to upgrade the wifi adapter on the subject from 802.11b/g to 802.11b/g/n. Already stepped on the whitelist with an Intel WiFi link 5100 that HP had a driver for so I expected it to work. Installed it and got the dreaded message. The research I thought was done but I am here asking for help/information.
Would this work?

I know it's a half sized card but know of an aftermarket piece that will span the difference so it would fit.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.

Can i change graphic settings on a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc"?

Hi
I have a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc" and I run Windows 7 64-bit. Lately I bought a lot of games, and I was hoping to play them without any problems. I have been able to before, so nothing should get in my way for doing it now. But it seems that my graphic settings keep changing from time to time, since when I play, I get a lot of lagg, both online and offline. Sometimes I can play the games without any lagg, but the most times the games lagg when I play them. The times when I can play without any problems, I can also watch HD movies online, which I can't when i can't play the games without lagg. To make an example, I bought a game called "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". When the game starts up, it automatically "Detect your video hardware and set video options accordingly". The most times when I start up the game, it sets the video quality to "low quality", but sometimes it sets the video quality to "high quality". Those times, I can also play the other games without lagg. I am almost sure, it is because my graphic settings on the pc are being changed, but I dont know how, or how to do it manually. So is it possible to solve this problem and/or change the graphic settings manually?

You might have too many things running on the pc, such as browsers, music players, downloaders as you load the game which would explain the erratic behavior of the game checking your available settings.
PS, Skyrim Rocks, as does MW3

Sound Issues HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello,
I have HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Recently I noticed issues with how my volume control works. I am not sure if it's an application issue (Firefox 9/10) or audio drivers. While watching playing an audio file or watching video my default playback device is set to speaker, but as soon as I plugin my headphones both headphones and speakers will go to mute. Some times disabling and re-enabling the device will solve this issue, and other than that I also have to restart Firefox to get the sound back.
Tried installing all the available updates form windows, also reinstalled/update the sound drivers as n admin with no possible fix. Also as shown in picture below, when I try to make a Google call using Firefox I use built-in mike an headphones. During that time headphones icon will be appeared in the window shown below listed as communication device and disable both audio in/out.
Let me know if any further information is required.
Thanks.

First uninstall the audio driver:
Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager. >> Audio, video and game controlar >> right click and uninstall all values under it >> restart >> download and install the following drivers:
BIOS
