Put SSD to Hp Pavilion dv6

Hi,
I know I have to put the SSD in the main caddy and the HDD wil be put in the optical bay.
Is it compatible with my notebook?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180911636451
I have a new Hp Pavilion dv6-6c06eh notebook.

No the ebay item you have linked is for older laptops that use an ide optical drive. The adapter allows a second SATA hard drive to be used with an ide optical drive interface. Yours is a SATA optical drive. The connector would be different where the device plugs into the laptop.

SSD for Pavilion dv6

Hello ,
i have Pavilion dv6-2174ca.
with windows 7 64-bit
recently , since 2 days i start get the message of Hard failling...error SMART 301 .
my question , if i buy SDD to replce the HDD , will it be okay for my laptop?
like if i got the Samsung 840 pro 256gb SSD
i'm worry if my laptop will be older , and will the SSD will not work with it
Thanks in advance for the help

Be sure and buy the SSD drive with the cloning kit. It will make life easier. Without the cloning software and cable, upgrading to an SSD is generally a command line procedure using the DiskPart command-line utility and not as easy for many people.

Ssd compatability Pavilion dv6-3118sa

I have a Pavilion DV6-3118sa laptop and the hard drive has died without warning. I am trying to find out if I can take this oportunity to replace the failed drive with an SSD.
Does anyone know if the machine is compatable with SSD's . I'd like to replace with an SSD of the same size as the original HDD (500GB).
Any help would be much appreciated as there is no useful info in the HP support area of their site.
This question was solved.

Thank you for your reply. I suspected as much but it would be good if there was something somewhere that listed compatible or non-compatable devices for SSD's.
I know it could be a lonk list, but I'd prefer if someone "in the know" sayts so, especially when the cost of an SSD is so much.
The drive is for my wifes machine so I wanted to get the biggest drive I could, within a price range, ao she doesn't worry about running out of space.
I'm in England and got a 480GB Crucial drive from Scan for £220. More than I wanted to pay but it's done now. I closed my eyes when I clicked the buy button.
Thanks again for your reply.

Hi,
Yes it does. You can use Samsung, SanDisk, Crucial. I have not had any luck with Intel, Kingston, OCz therefore I can't tell.

Hp pavilion dv6 disables all usb ports when put to sleep mode. hibernate will enable them again.

Im using an HP pavilion dv6 - 6b56el with Windows 7 Home Premium.
First install on 15-DEC-2011
When I put the PC to sleep it will disable all USB ports.
When I restart the box or put it to hibernate (and wake it again) the USB ports wil work again.
This happens when running on battery or connected to a power supply.
As far as I can see I checked all power settings that could possibly disable the USB ports.
I think the latest changes to the system made before this happens were automatic windows updates on 18-DEC-2011 and 19-DEC-2011.

Hi,
There are some computers on the market which have special USB port(s) stay awake during the computer in sleep mode. In your case, you can change this using Device Manager under power management tab (un-tick "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power").

Hi,
There is a fairly straight forward work around to this issue with the Recovery Discs as follows.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation on your new SSD, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Can I add a 2nd Hard Drive to my new Pavilion dv6 notebook?

I would like to add a 2nd hard drive (preferably SSD) to my "HP Pavilion dv6-6188ca Entertainment Notebook PC"
I am hoping there is an option to at least replace the DVD drive with a hard drive caddy?
What are my options?
Thanks!

You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Notebook - Internal Hard Drive Options

Greetings,
I just purchased an HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (at Costco), and so far it's been a great deal. Everything seems to be working just fine.
Because I do a lot of development work in Virtual Images, I have been running a number of external Hard Drivers from the notebook over the couple of weeks since I've owned it (including an external SSD). All that seems to work fine.
But, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to install a second Hard Drive or SSD in this Notebook Model. I saw on the HP site that some Notebooks allow the installation of a second Hard Drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest it can handle such a configuration.
My primary objective for doing this would be to retain the original 1TB Hard Drive that came with the Notebook, but have a secondary SSD Drive to perhaps run the Paging activity from, when such functionality is needed upon running some of my larger Virtual Images.
Any assistance with clarifying if this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne

Solved Crackling Problem in Windows 7 (SB 24-bit USB External, HP Pavilion dv6 1124-ca laptop).

I'm one of many users who has had problems with the sound crackling problem with their sound card after upgrading to Windows 7.
I was previously on Windows Vista running 5. with 24-bit, 96000Hz sample rate Studio Quality with no problems at all. When I upgraded to Windows 7 RC, Windows was able to automatically find a driver for my external USB sound card, but when playing music, I always got a constant crackling sound coming from the speakers while trying to put the card in anything above 2. or and when putting it in 24-bit 96000Hz, the crackling only got worse. Installing the Beta drivers on the Creative site didn't work either... still had the crackling. I searched around for the past several months for solutions to no avail.
Then today, I was surfing the HP website (I have a HP Pavilion dv6 24-ca laptop) to see if they had added Windows 7 drivers to their support site and they did... and so I started downloading all available Windows 7 drivers for my specific laptop. When I first installed Windows 7 RC, it had installed it's own drivers for everything (on-board sound etc.). After replacing the Windows 7 installed "High Definition Audio Device" drivers with the HP supplied "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" drivers... I'm not sure if the on board sound driver has anything at all to do with the crackling on the Soundblaster but I replaced the drivers anyway. I also installed another driver called "AMD USB Filter" that was supplied by the HP website for Windows 7 which is another driver that I thought might help with the problem. Other drivers installed were "ENE CIR Reciever Driver" and "Realtek Card Reader Driver" but those have nothing to do with the sound card.
After installing the drivers from the HP website, I no longer get the crackling from the speakers when playing in 5.. I am also now able to select 24-bit 96000Hz sample rate without crackling as well I am very happy to have finally solved the problem. So to anyone having similar problems, I suggest you check out your manufacturers website to see if they have any drivers available for you... I have a feeling the AMD USB Filter is what solved the problem... but who knows.
Hope this helps other HP users!

Try this video let me know if it helps you out.

If you can hear the music through the speakers but not the headphones I would suggest using an AUX cable because seems the sound isn't being transmitted over.
Just a friendly note here. Don't buy the wireless turtle beaches I have the x32s and I'm continuously buying batteries !

HP Pavilion dv6-6b56er and Windows 7 x64 Professional

Hello.
I've purchased Pavilion dv6-6b56er with pre-installed Win7 x64 Basic, which is not convenient for me, because of it's lack in functionality. So I've made a full backup of pavilion's hard drives and deleted all software from it. Then I've installed Win 7 x64 Pro and confronted with some difficulties regarding drivers for USB 3.0. Everything else is working fine. I know, that HP do not responsible for any experiments with non-pre-installed software, but still I have some questions.
First of all, which driver I should install for pavilion's USB 3.0 ports? At downloads page I've found three different options:
1. Renesas.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-99763-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
2. NEC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100224-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
3. Fresco.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-102204-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
and
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100237-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
The first two have been installed (I mean they CAN be installed), the third one - doesn't install at all. So what's the reason of putting it on download page?
The more the merrier. When you try to install package with NEC driver, installation master tells you, that it's Renesas driver. So there is no NEC driver on the download page at all. Why I've payed so much attention to it? I've installed Everest, so I can find out what driver is needed. It tells me that I have "NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller". So, there is no available driver on download page for NEC chipset and we have NEC chipset inside.
Meanwhile Windows' Support center offered some NEC driver for USB 3.0 (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47501-48000/sp47677.exe ).
So, who is right?
The second question. If try to connect to USB 3.0 port some compound device (usb hub for example), then in "devices and printers" appear strange devices with label "No data". If Renesas driver has been installed then "USB 2.0 hub" appeared, and if Windows' proposed NEC - then "NEC Electronics USB Hub". The count of strange devices depend on number of devices connected to this compound device. This is my main problem - these strange devices.
So I came to the deadlock. Any ideas to solve this problem?
Any replies will be much appreciated.
PS. Sorry for my bad English.

Is the following image what you see when you start the recovery manager with the disk? This is for the CyberLink type Recovery Manager within Windows. The windows for the external recovery manager should be similar. I will use the external Recovery Manager on my loaner dv7 notebook and post an image later on today.

HP Pavilion dv6-7010us Entertainment Notebook PC

My motheroarbd went out on my DV6 7010.
I had to wait awhile before I could get another MB so used the HD from it for another computer (HPG-60)
Now I am putting it back in my DV6 7010US.
The problem is it seems that the windows from my other computer is on this.
I am on it writing this (DV6 7010us) so can get online etc, but I wanted to re-install the oporiginal software that came with this computer.
I can't do a recover due to the stuff from the other puter being on the HD now.
I have a recovery disc set but thinks its for the other computer.
I have tried Windows and HP Updates, but still doesnt seem to reload.
I tried to get the website to auto detect and it said it couldnt detect this computer.
So no sure what to do. Am I going to have to order another set of discs, or do the discs I have work for almost all the HP laptops? The driver disc also, is it specific to a model or just general drivers?
I am downloading and installing all the drivers I can from HP driver download, but it still is not going back to the way it was.
What can I do?

Hello @JazzBrodi,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

Pavilion dv6-3227cl entertainment notebook powers on but only has a black screen

An HP Pavilion DV6-3227cl Entertainment Notebook, that is approximately 2 years old and is running Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD Vision Premium, will power on but not boot up. The fan runs and the "caps lock" light flashes once approximately every 4 seconds but all I get is a black screen with no cursor or error messages. There are no beeps. The power supply indicator illuminates (white) for about a second, then turns to a dim orange when the battery is installed, but remains white when the battery is removed. However, the two indicator lights (I'm not sure what they are for) next to the USB port nearest the power indicator light illuminate as follows: the one on the left (as you are looking at the right side of the notebook) is white; the one on the right is orange. Both are fully illuminated (not dimly as the power indicator light). The power indicator light is not as bright as the other white indicator near the USB port. The notebook has booted up and appeared to be running one time since having this problem started, but I have not been able to get it to boot up again. I am told the battery is bad (it's my brother in law's notebook), but is it possible the problem is with the power source rather than the processor or motherboard? I appreciate your comments/advice on this matter. Thank you.

Hi fejevitzky,
Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.

Static over cd playback (HP Pavilion dv6-6b57sa)

HP Pavilion dv6-6b57sa
windows 7 64 bit
i got my new laptop today, really excited, everything seemed great, i installed all the updates, everything worked well and most still does
but... i put in a cd and during playback there was a vast amount of static...
i tried other cds, some have it, some don't.
its not a problem with the cd, it works everywhere else, and its not a problem with speakers as they play other cds, so whats wrong?
i would of though audio would be this computers strong point with the beats...

i found a fix
go to beat audi management and max the speakers and headphones bar, there must be something loose or not right but the loudness must fix it somehow
it is fine for all volumes then
