AC wifi card upgrade for dv7-6b77dx?

Hi. I'm considering purchasing a router utilizing the new AC wireless standard and I'm wondering if there are any AC wifi cards that are approved for use in the US with the dv7-6b77dx? I was looking specifically at the Intel 7260HMW but if there's any other AC wireless card that's approved for use I'm open to alternatives.
If there aren't any currently approved for use, is there any expected timeframe when one will be? Thanks.

Thanks Huffer. I thought that was probably the case but figured I'd just check anyway. Good info though to know that HP doesn't add new wifi cards to the approved list with bios updates. Not what I wanted to hear of course but at least I know now not to wait for that and go with a USB adapter instead if AC wireless is something I really want.
FYI though for anyone else considering this upgrade, I just tested an AC USB adapter from my local Best Buy along w/a new AC router and I wasn't that impressed (great at short range but no better and actually worse than N at a distance which is what I really wanted it for). Maybe that was just the router and adapter I tried (both Linksys) but for now I've decided to just return those and stick with the laptop's Centrino N card.

You're very welcome.
You can look at the service manual at the link below and in chapter 3 you will find an illustrated parts list with all components you can purchase with the HP part numbers.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03099448.pdf
Then to buy a part, you can enter the part # in the site below in the applicable box.

When you see the wireless cards available, the dual band card you see is only for notebooks with Intel processors--and it doesn't matter, as the part number for that card is incorrect and nobody knows what the right one is.
Changing a wireless card in an HP consumer notebook is nothing short of a nighmare due to the BIOS lock out of any cards not listed in the service manual for the specific model notebook.

DV6725ee WIFI card upgrade

Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV6000 (DV6725ee) I am trying to upgrade the Mini PCI-e Wifi card, having looked at the service book I purchased a BCM94321MCP1, which is a listed compatabile device, however on installing and booting the laptop it hangs with a message saying that the WIFI card is not a compatabile one.
Is there a way to boot with this card installed or is there a compatatible BroadCom card that I can use?
Currently I am back to using the Intel one that is provided, but is tempermental.
Any help will be gladly appriciated.

Hi:
If you bought it from HP with the HP part # on it, it should have worked, and I would have no idea why it didn't.
I have a dv6810us and it uses the same card (for use in the USA/Canda, part # 434661-001.
I bought mine used on eBay for less than $10 a year or so ago. Works great.
You can only buy the card with the HP part number on it, or it will not work.
If that is what you did, then buy on eBay and query only by the part number.
Do not buy a card unless you see one with the actual picture of the card with the part # on it.
Here is a link to the 434661-001 cards available on eBay.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=434661-001&_sop=15
If you don't live in the USA/Canada then do your search by part # 434661-002.

Hi vineetjk76,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
There are some parts of the laptop that we do not recommend upgrades. Hard disk drive and memory (RAM) are the parts that we recommend. Aside from that, your Vaio SVT11125CNS is not a U.S. model. We have limited information about the specification and other parts and accessories that are compatible with your computer.

Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
Thank you very much!

Hi:
The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

PC-wifi Card adapter for mac

ok so heres the problem. cingular offers a wifi card that would just plug into a pci slot on a pc laptop for internet access all over the nation. http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/phonedetails.jsp ?id=cdsku9870019
pretty sweet stuff. now the box of the card only lists windows capability, but what i was wondering is if mac powerbooks have slots similar or equal to that of which i would find on a pc, or if there is an adapter that is made for such. the reason i dont know this is casue i dont own a mac as of now but i am a realestate agent and am planning on buying a laptop and i have my heart set on mac. i just need to make sure all my business needs are met, and this is one feature that i would find advantages. thanks for all your help.

Only the 15" and 17" PowerBooks have CardBus slots which you can insert PC cards into.
Your link does not work (asks me for my zip code which I don't have), so I can't work out which Cingular product you are referring to.

Hello,
I have a T430S with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Wifi Card installed. I would like to upgrade to an AC card, dual band or better.
Any suggestions on cards? Is this even do-able with respect to the BIOS limiations?
Thanks!!

It is doable, but not without modding your BIOS whitelist. Google is your friend if you want to do that.

HI My Dv7 2040us has an ATI Radeon 4650 video card. I want to run some new games and I need at least 4860 to run them. I was looking around and it seems I need to get a new card and install it directly to my motherboard. This is all do able for me I just need to know which new card would be compatible with my model of notebook. If anyone knows which one or where I can begin to look for one I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!

Hi:
The only way you can upgrade the video in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard with one that has a better video solution.
However, when you look at chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, you are already at the top of the mark regarding what video chip is on the available motherboards.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01689926.pdf
So, you will either have to live with the status quo or buy a new notebook.

Hi Fabio,
See Page 98 of your Maintenance & Service Guide for a list of compatible processors.
Sorry to say, but it's not really practical to change your video adapter - your existing Intel chip physically soldered to the Motherboard and as such, is not an upgradeable component.

Video Card upgrade for HP Pavilion HPE h8-1256s Desktop

I wanted to upgrade my current graphics card which was an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, the mother board is a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I recently bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. I unistalled the old drivers took out the old card, added the new one and when I started up my PC i would recive 3 beeps and a black screen. I did some research and found out that it may be due to the BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade I can find and my BIOS vers is AMI 7.11, 4/28/2012. I would appreciate a list or a recommendation of compatable Video cards so I do not have to keep buying and installing these devices or if there is a new BIOS update.

Hi,
The EVGA 750 will not work with a version 7 BIOS. Look under Windows 8 for BIOS version 8.19.

If you are running Windows 7 then I haven't seen a post on this forum indicating if the EVGA 750 will work when the BIOS version 8 is set to legacy mode.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1020n Desktop Computer and it's PTGD-LA (Goldfish3) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer has no dedicated graphics card expansion slot. The only expansion slots available on this system are three traditional and/or conventional PCI slots. One of these slots currently contains a K56flex modem.
Here is a selection of PCI graphics cards that may meet your requirements. Please note that these cards may also require you to upgrade your power supply as well.

Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)

Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)

Hi:
Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
Below is the link to the quickspecs. The supported processors are listed on page 7.
I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.

Processor and Graphics Card Upgrade For HP ProBook 4445s

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask that I have a HP4445s with the A6 4400m processor and don't find it enough to play games.
The processor is a little bit slow and the graphics are kind of horrible for a gamer.
I feel like upgrading to a new processor.
The one that I found nice is the
AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor
I just wanted to ask whether I could upgrade to this.
I also wanted to find out that it says that there are no integrated graphics, so does that mean I will have to purchase a new graphic card?
Thanks,
Please reply!
This question was solved.

That is a desktop processor and will not fit in any laptop. Right now some of the HP Support pages are down but I believe you can install an A10 AMD CPU which would improve the graphics just a little. There is no graphics "card" as you might be thinking of. It is a flat motherboard inside the laptop case with all the chips including video soldered on that board. The video comes from within the processor working with helping chips on the motherboard. An A10 processor provides slightly better graphics but nothing that will increase the gaming potential very much. That is a business laptop for doing Powerpoints and Spreadsheets and maybe watching a youtube video or playing a DVD. It is not a gamer. HP now makes the Omen laptop at about $1500 which would handle most high end games.
