Hi,
It's possible. However, there is no reason for that and it could be a bit tricky as one of the SSDs must be a mSATA drive. Means you have to dismantle the top cover to access the mSATA slot. One SSD in the mSATA slot and a common hard drive is a decent config for any computer.

Battery/charger ENVY dv6 7210us

I have an HP ENVY dv6 notebook PC, model 7210us, serial number: (Personal information removed), product number: C2M11UA#ABA
BIOS: F.25, Processor AMD-A8-4500M APU. This notebook is about 2 years old.
The problem is with the battery charging. Specifically, when plugged into the A/C the indicator states: "0%, Plugged In, Charging". However, the battery is not charging. This problem started about a month ago. And it was around the time that I upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Thinking it was either the power cord or battery, I purchased a new battery and changed out the A/C power supply & cords.
First, the A/C supply change did not solve the problem, still 0%, Pluggd In, Charging.
Second, I replaced the battery with a new one. Initially the tray indicator stated 50%, Plugged In, Charging. But again, the battery was not being charged. It would remain at 50% until unplugged and then the battery would take over and begin draining. This continued until the new battery registered 0%, Plugged In, Charging.
Thinking it may be a driver issue:
Third, I followed youtube example where I uninstalled both battery and charger drivers located in Device Manager, powering down, reinstalling the battery and A/C then restarting the PC. The devices would reload on boot up. What i noticed was that the indicator, in the tray, would begin 'tanking' up, graphically showing that the battery symbol was 'filling'. It would do this for about 10 seconds, then stop, displaying an empty battery. Still the message 0%, Plugged In, Charging.
Fourth, I upgraded the BIOS to F.25. I used the HP Support Assistant to identify and install the upgrade. It was successful. I then tried the Third option again, with the same results, 0%, Plugged In, Charging.
Fifth, While in the HP Support Assistant, I ran the Battery Check tool and both batteries and both are O.K. per the HP Tool.
Sixth, I've followed HP Support note to hard reset, by removing the battery and A/C, holding the power button for 30 seconds and powering up, same problem.
The indicator light, located adjacent to the A/C plug into the computer, is 'orange' in color, indicating that it is charging. but again, 0%, Plugged In, Charging. I've left the notebook plugged in for days, same problem. Also, I've left the notebook UN-plugged for days, same problem.
As I mentioned above, this problem started 'around' the time when I upgraded to Windows 8.1. Once upgraded, I immediately had issues with the built in WiFi not working. It was as if the notebook could not recognise the built in hardware. I ended up using an external USB WiFi. Once installed, the internal WiFi began operating properly. The WiFi problem took my attention, so I cant be sure that the battery/charging problem happened at the same time; but I'm pretty certain it did, as it took a while for the battery to discharge as I keep it plugged into A/C when in the office.
I contacted HP support; but unfortunatly my notebook is out of warranty and HP requires payment for phone service. I did speak to both Hardware and Software specialists, but they were of little help. They did say that the problem was either soft or hardware and that they could determine software and fix that over the phone.
I am told that the charging system is seperate from the operating system. That there is a dedicated circuit on the System Board that could be the culprit. I'm not certain that's accurate. I was hoping that the upgrade to 8.1 caused a software problem.
Can anyone give advice or help in identifing where the problem is? Or if this is a known problem?
I've tried to list as much detail as possible. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
/Bill

Hi @eusbs ,
Welcome to the HP forum!
This is a wonderful place to find information and get input on your issues!
I grasp that after updating to Windows 8.1 you are experiencing a battery issue. Thinking it could be the battery or power cord you replaced both the the issue remains.
You have tried troubleshooting the issue to no avail.
You are correct there is a dedicated circuit on the motherboard that could be the issue.
I know you ran the HP Support Assistant to get the HP updates, but have you done all your Windows updates?
I realize you have tested the batteries but did you try to calibrate them?
Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8)
You could try a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
I believe this will take you back to Windows 8 your original OS. If you are again able to charge the battery, then it is not hardware.
If you are still unable to charge the battery after the refresh it is most likely the motherboard.
If it again charges, reinstall the Windows 8.1 update and if the issue remains please contactMicrosoft support for assistance as it would seem to be the update causing the problem.

HP Envy dv6 7398ca. win 8 64 bit. During recovery disk 4, get 3f0 error

Hi,
I have a brand new HP Envy dv6 7398ca.win 8 64 bit. I had a problem that caused me to do a system refresh. After that, Windows update and MS Office would not update/install. Talked to Tech Support, they wanted me to go thru every service and started task to see if one was corrupt (requires reboots and update and recovery from win Update). Anyway, decided to do a system recovery/system reset. I had recovery disks and files backed up, so thought I should be fine.
During Recovery (from Win 8, recovery manager) when disk 4 was inserted, it gets to 56% and then stops with the 'dest drive not connected' msg. The system hangs and have to power off. Tried a couple times, then went to sys reset. got to disk 4 again and then 3F0 msg with 'boot device not found, install os on hdd'. did quick check on hdd, all ok. Am running a full check now, but takes 5 hours(geesh, like back in the 80's again).
I can't believe the hdd is bad, because it goes through format, and 4 disks of loading files ok, and keeps stopping on the same spot.
Any ideas, before I finish waiting the 5 hours (1tb drive). Any ideas for after it finishes the test (I'm betting it's okay).
Thanks so much!

Hello socalfun64,
You’re getting an error 3f0.
Here are steps that Big_Dave wrote that might help with the problem.
The below solution may correct this problem:
Download UEFI Shell x64, rename the file to shellx64.efi, move it to FAT/FAT32-formatted USB-flash. Label the USB flash drive something that you will quickly recognize.
Insert the USB flash and then power up the HP UEFI enabled laptop and tap the ESC key to allow you to display the Start up menu.
Select Boot device Options (F9)
Select Boot from EFI file
Select the USB flash drive and hit enter
You should now see Shell.efi. Hit enter.
Ignore all the screen information that scrolls down on the screen
Once in the shell enter bcfg boot dump to see current boot manager entries. Option 00 should be the hard drive or SSD, option 01 the USB drive (UEFI) and option 02 the Internal CD/DVD Rom drive (UEFI)
This posted HP document will give you some ideas on how to remove, reorder and add the entries in the EFI boot manager. Review #3
If you’re not able to correct the problem, you may have to send the laptop in for repair.
Here is a link to a number to call HP and see what options they have to repair the laptop.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

Touchpad not working in HP ENVY-dv6

Hi,
I have the same touchpad problem in my envy dv6 7382la laptop. I tried all possible solutions detailed in the forum but none work. However i want try updating the Bios. There is a problem installing the last version for win8 in my win8.1 OS???
(the page have not the last Bios version for win 8.1)
Thanks,

Hi tinti80,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with your touchpad. I am happy to help you with this.
Like you, I checked and I cannot see a specific Windows 8.1 BIOS on the HP ENVY dv6-7382la Notebook PC support page.
In the absence of the BIOS the best bet then would be to be sure all the other device drivers are up to date for windows 8.1
You mentioned that you did the troubleshooting detailed in the forum for your issue, but it looks like your post was moved so I cannot see what may have been done or what process you followed. Just in case I have included the following:
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Please double check that you have done all of those things.
If that does not help then in the absence of a windows 8.1 BIOS to try, I would try calling technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Which docking station for my ENVY dv6

Is the H1L08ET HP 3005pr compatible with my Envy dv6 (Windows 8)???

This all depends on what you are looking for ina docking solution. If you want to keep desk space availbe then I would say go for the on end solution such as Byte-dock or Hengedock. However if you want to run multipule screens as in the macbook screen and the external monitor this will not be possible with an on end dock as the macbook will have to remain closed. So you only option would be a bookendz dock that I can see.
I have read a bit about these Byte-docks but I cannot pass judgement yet as they are not out for a little while yet (according to the website).
Henge on the other hand have been around for a while now. I think at least 18 months, and I have some good and some bad points about them. Good point generally go on cost and easy of use. However I also read that the plastic in the bottom of the dock (while the plugs come through) snaps causing loose connections and because of this poor video output etc to occur, and while they advertise that the dock is cheap by the time you add everything else on like the cables, delivery, construction time it all adds up to a headache, and works out around the $200 mark.
Bookendz have been around for years and are still going strong that should tell you something, but it all comes down to you and what you define your requirements as.
Hope I have enlightened you to your options some more with this comment..

Clean reinstall of Windows 8 on Envy dv6-7210us

Hi,
I just purchased a new HP Envy dv6-7210us laptop and I want to delete all of the current partition and reinstall a clean version of Windows 8 without all of the bloatware. I have no need for the recovery partition since I use imaging software to back up my systems. I've tried using the minimal recovery option from the HP recovery program, but it still installs all of the bloatware. I even ordered the recovery DVD's (3 of them) which also reinstall all of the bloat.
I understand that the Windows 8 key is stored in the bios, but how do I get to it or will it automatically be inserted in a clean install. Or if possible, can I extract the Windows 8 installation files from the HP recovery DVD's?
Thanks

A minimal install should have been just that, a minimal install. It's strange that it was identical to a standard recovery.
I have performed a minimal recovery on my Windows 7 notebook and it appeared to be the same install from a retail copy of Windows 7 requiring me to fetch some new drivers as well. Perhaps this has changed for Windows 8.
You can try some of the retrieval methods linked to in this post. I have used Magical Jelly Bean to retrieve the product key in Windows 7. I tested the program in Windows 8 and was able to pull the product key on a test system. It appeared to be the correct key for that particular notebook.

Availability and Fitting of backlit keyboard to Envy DV6 - 7331SA

I've an Envy DV6-7331SA which works just fine.
I'd quite like a backlit keyboard.
Googling around it seems that backlit keyboards are available but
1. Is this just a simple replacement. I presume the keyboard comes with the backlight cable and there is already a socket for it on the mobo? or what?
2. I can find various foreign and US keyboards but dont seem to be able to find a UK backlit keyboard.
- Is this available
- What is its part No.
- where can I get one

No webcam detected on my HP ENVY dv6-7200ea. How can I fix this?

I recently bought the HP ENVY dv6-7200ea (Windows 8) and it has been working fine but the other day I noticed that the webcam was not working. Since then I have gone into the device manager and tried to fix through there but no such look. Can anyone help me fix this?

I'm having the same problem. Seems like it's a pretty common problem with these models. You would think HP would fix it with an update or something. The only answer I keep seeing is to reinstall the driver but but when I try to use the Recovery Manager to do that, I can't tell which driver controls web cam.
After numerous Google searches trying to find the answer, I came across someone in another HP thread that said he called HP technical support and they basically told him he's going to have to basically abandon anything he's done to his pc and reset to factory to get his webcam to work. That's BS.
I'm just going to dig out my old MS web cam and clip it on. This makes me so angry because I'm on a fixed income, invested hundreds of dollars I really don't have only to have to come up with rigged-up fixes for a laptop that I've had for only 9 months. After this experience, I know what brand my next laptop WON'T be.

Monitor problem with envy dv6-7214nr

I have a problem with my monitor. At the very top there is a single line that keeps flashing. What could the problem be? A bad monitor? Or something else?

Hi Antlan,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY dv6-7214nr Notebook and getting a flashing line on the screen. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore. You could check for a BIOS update.
Hope this is helpful.

2. I use router zyxel keenetic giga 2, but standart drives do not detect my router, so how i can detected my router and how i have wi-fi connection (signal)?
Best regards
Man212

Hi:
There are no video "cards" in today's notebooks. All of the graphics chips (GPU's) are soldered to the motherboard.
A notebook PC is much different than a desktop. You can't just swap out one video adapter for another.
The only other supported motherboard that your notebook could support, is one with the nvidia GT 650 GPU chip on it and the cost of upgrading would not be worth it.
Yes, you can post your second question maybe in the notebook wireless section would be best.
Best Regards,
Paul
