Asus G60 upgrade?

I have the G60VX-RBBX05 and I was wondering if I could upgrade the harddrive space in the laptop. I read somewhere that I could upgrade it to 1TB, if so how much would the Geek Squad charge to do all of this for me?
Since you no longer have it on your website, I can't link the product to this post.

^^the link above; however, is the laptop in question.
Thanks in advance

Right now, I don't think there are any upcoming capacity limitations we're anywhere close to hitting with SATA, so your ability to upgrade is limited by what's available.
I've only seen two 2.5" 1TB drives in existence, and both are only 5400 RPM drives, you will likely trade capacity for speed. They might also be thicker than standard drives.
The Asus will be able to take any standard height 2.5" laptop hard drive with a SATA interface. Also, with your particular laptop you can purchase a secondary hard drive carrier from Asus that will let you install a second hard drive and put it in a RAID configuration with your existing one. (new drive needs to be the same capacity). The bracket is only available from Asus and is frequently out of stock - http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=4410&catid=728
Installing a hard drive is pretty easy, the hardest part is transferring your data.

Asus CG5275 Upgrade Power Supply

S12 freeze-ups with Firefox

I am experiencing random but recurrent freeze-ups using Firefox - to the point where the only thing that works is holding down the power button.
The machine is a VIA-based S12, factory-installed XP, to which I have added 1 GB of 667 MHz RAM salvaged from my wife's Asus (to upgrade her RAM I had to remove and replace the existing DIMM, so I simply transferred it to the Lenovo).
The scenario is always the same. A page loads and I scroll downwards using either the keyboard or mouse (using the scroll bars and mouse buttons, or the mouse wheel ... doesn't mattter). Just as the screen starts to move upwards, the machine freezes completely. The only reaction I ever get is the system "beep" when my frantic efforts to recover end up filling the keyboard buffer.
The weird thing is, if I reboot and reload the same web page - it happens again! On another session I can visit the same web page without incident. I first thought my Firefox installation was at fault. But that doesn't make sense because it's a _portable_ install that I am using without problem on 3 other machines - including some of the web pages that lock up.
I have run Memtest numerous times and no memory errors are ever demonstrated. No other apps cause this type of lockup. Other web browsers (IE, opera), image editing, video playback.Just scrolling down using Firefox.Event log shows no ocurrences that correspond to the freezes.
Besides using another browser ... any ideas? I am leaning towards a video driver bug but see no reports of such being identified in this model.

If it's only happening in Firefox my feeling would be the problem lies in Firefox and not your machine. Have you tried completely uninstalling and then re-installing it?

8GBytes memory upgrade on HP G60-550CA

Product Name: HP G60-550CA
Operating System: Windows 7 64 bits
The standard quantity of RAM installed on a HP G60-550CA is 4GBytes, but looking at this laptop specifications, it can support up to 8GBytes of RAM.
I bought 2X 4GBytes PC2-6400 to replace the former 2X 2GBytes PC2-6400 memory sticks. But after installing the 2 4GBytes sticks, the computer does not boot anymore, the display stays blank, even if I heard the hard disk spinning. But using any one of the two 4GBytes memory stick with one of the former 2GBytes memory stick is working, I have then 6GBytes (6144MBytes) of memory, so both 4GBytes memory sticks are good.
Is the HP G60-550CA really supporting 8GBytes (8192MBytes) of RAM? I did the upgrade of the BIOS (F.53 to F.65), but no improvement.
Thanks.

Hi, Paul.
There is a lot of numbers on the former Kingston 2GBytes memory stick:
2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S
666-12-E2
HP497772-HR2-ELF
4448828-0934
PKI
9995285-034.A00LF
On the Knight 4GBytes memory stick, simply:
4GB DDR2 800Mhz
PC2-6400
So far, I was not able to find what is the meaning of the 'S' after the '6400' on the Kingston RAM (speed, voltage?)
I saw on many web sites that two 4GBytes PC2-6400 memory sticks are supposed to do the job for the HP G60-550CA when we want to upgrade to 8192MBytes, including these Knight sticks.
Thanks.
Denis.

No sound after upgrading to Windows 8 HP G60-553NR Notebook

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7 64-bit on my HP G60-553NR and went through 3 tiers of tech support with Windows because after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro.... I had no sound coming from my speakers from my notebook nor will sound play when headphones are plugged in. Windows Tech support said that there are no compatable sound drivers to download, which leaves me with no sound completely which is no bueno. So, is there a driver that I can download that will work on my notebook?! If not, how do I downgrade to Windows 7. I'm a DJ and I really need some sound like asap. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Thanks

Do an HP system recovery to get back.
If you have discs - put first in and boot.
If not, you can go into settings from CHarms and advanced to select recover. Here's more: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

G60 214 upgraded to XP Pro SP2 all good but microphone not recording

Hi all,
just upgraded an HP G60-214 to XP Pro SP2 with much assistance from yourselves for which many thanks !
Getting the Conexant HD 221 sound to work was difficult but is now good but I'm having trouble getting the microphone to work.
Device manager shows an NVidia driver and says it's working properly but 'Sound Recorder' doesn't record anything and neither does Skype. The volume is set to maximum and it isn't muted.
Anyone got this to work under XP ?
Thanks for looking !

Hi
I have a similar problem.
If I use skype, or infact other programs, the microphone seems very unstable.
In most of my skype calls I loose the mic at some point or another. during these drops Skype warns me that the mic is very low, but I have not changed any settings. It seems that there is a problem with the integrated mic. Loose connection or something. This is not just with Skype but with other programs where I use the mic. However, there is no problem with hearing the other side of a call. Thus speaker is fine. Tired of this problem as I cant call without having problems. Please help.
thanks in advance.

G60-458DX Windows 8 upgrade NO SOUND...have tried "everything!"

Greetings,
I have an older G60-458DX notebook that I upgraded to Windows 8 64-bit.
I have lost sound from both the internal speakers and anything plugged into the headphone jack. I can see levels fluxuate on the taskbar volume control when I move the slider.
I have tried the following with no success amoung other things:
Used Windows troubleshooting feature in Windows 8
Disables and enables the drivers for sound device as well as tried to upgrade the drivers (already the most current)
Checked all sound software access points
Some of the research I read indicated that HP was not going to support older hardware with driver updates for Windows 8. Is there a workaround for this issue? Could I used a USB external soundcard and bi-pass the non-fuctioning drivers?
This is my wife's computer and while she likes Windows 8, she NEEDS SOUND. Thank you!

Brett,
You are "far and away up the soundless creek" and I offer you a paddle:
Running Drivers and Software in Compatibility Mode by AttackOfZaq
There is a hope this will work to bring sound where there is now silence.
It is possible that it may turn out to be a very small paddle in a very large creek.
Good Luck!

Upgrading g60 hard disk

My hard disk got corrupted and since im going to replace it,i wanted to upgrade it from 320gb to 500gb. I have an hp g60 laptop,an also can i just start from scratch reinstalling Windows Vista since the old hard disk is broken,but i have my product key no. If so can give me an advice on what to buy? I really want to fix this laptop bcoz this is the last gift my mom gave to me before she past away,i really do appreciate all the help i can get thanks

Sorry for the loss. Where are you located (country)? Do you have some means of installing Windows Vista? Did you perhaps create the HP recovery disks for the laptop? Yes if you can get a copy of OEM Windows Vista of the same type as your license Code you can reinstall with that Code but Vista media is getting hard to find. You can install any 2.5 inch wide and 9.5 mm thick SATA laptop hard drive. We can help you find a good 500 gig model at a fair price once we know the place it has to be shipped.

Your system board is compatible with:
the following Intel Core2 Duo processors (2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB):
T5900 2.2-GHz processor
T5800 2.0-GHz processor
Intel Core2 Duo processors (3-MB L2 cache, 1066-MHz FSB):
P8600 2.4-GHz processor
P8400 2.26-GHz processor
P7350 2.0-GHz processor
Intel Core2 Duo processors 6-MB L2 cache, 1066-MHz front bus (FSB)):
T9400 2.53-GHz processor
T9600 2.8-GHz processor
Your notebook has BIOS support for more processors than most do. You chose wisely.

Asus k55vd Memory Upgrade

Hi everybody, So... I want to upgrade my Asus k55vd memory. Here are the specs from Asus. It came with 6 gb RAM, and says it's upgradable to 8 GB. However, I have run the Crucial Scan tool, and the output: says that the maximum upgradable RAM is 16 GB. SWEET! I have also run Piriform Speccy, here is the summary output: I did not know I had 4 slots. Last time I looked under the hood, it was only 2. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. After I post this, I'm going to look again. So the question, who and what do I believe? Can I upgrade to 16 GB? Is this a BIOS update thing? Thank you very much!

Hi tweezy,
Thanks for contacting us today. I pulled up your system specs and I only show you have two slots, but a max of 16GB. We have sold quite a few 8GB modules for this system with a very low percent rate. We can guarantee that the memory will work in your system. I am unsure why that other tool is saying you have 4 slots. That seems unusual.
I don't see a BIOS update being needed, but your system is a few years old so you may want to check on that anyway... Since the system is a couple years old that might be why you show an 8GB max from ASUS. They don't go through and update manuals as new parts come out. 8GB modules haven't been available that long, and when they do become available we do extensive testing on our end in order to guarantee the compatibility.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Asus Netbook RAM Upgrade Cost?

I was wondering how much an upgrade from 1 GB RAM to 2 GB would cost for the Asus 1201HAB-RBLK001X?

If that RAM is PC2-6400 it should work...but Crucial guarantees their RAM per model. I rarley go elsewhere unless I want to gamble a bit.
No video card...like virtually every netbook I know of it's an Intel video chip, in this model a 500 Accelerator that is on the motherboard and it sucks down 224 MB of shared RAM from your RAM stick. So 2 GB helps quite a bit.

G60-230US CPU Upgrade options?

I recently picked up this G60 and I really like the style, but I want to upgrade the processor a bit.
I know the chipset supports a wider range of processors, but not sure on what the BIOS supports.
I know that FAQ says most likely, the support is limited to the processors the computer was originally available to customize with, but I do not know what processors that might be in this case.
Any help is appreciated.

The Service manual has information on chipset info as well.
