Broken 17.0" WXGA+ BrightView Widescreen

I purchased a HP Pavilion dv8000z notebook in 2006 (with a 160 GB 5400 RPM Dual Hard Drive). The computer itself is in fine condition, however, the screen broke recently and cannot be fixed.
What is my best option? It seems if I were to purchase a new screen it would cost me around $250. Should I sell the unit as is ($400-$500?) and buy a new laptop altogether or should I simply replace the screen because the computer works fine?
Thanks!
PS - The notebook also includes: AMD Turion(TM) 64 ML-40 (2.2GHz/1MB L2 Cache); 128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory(TM); 1.0GB DDR SDRAM (2x512MB); and an extra 8 Cell Lithium Ion battery

Hinges broken 17" Pavillion dv9500 notebook Service Tag dv9610us

My 17" Pavillion dv9500 notebook (Service Tag dv9610us) has 2 broken hinges.
I understand this is a common problem with this family of laptops and I believe there are videos on YouTube to show how to fix them.
I ordered what I thought were OEM hinges from a non HP website and they are extremely stiff.
Almost impossible to rotate by hand.
I would have ordered from HP, but I don't want to spend a lot, because I need more RAM and the frame for the monitor too which is also cracked.
Is it normal for new hinges to be so stiff ?
Is the plastic frame on the same side of the monitor called the Bezel, or are both the front and back of the monitor cover collectively called the Bezel ? The HP Store doesn't show a photo.

Thanks Run-ner !!
Well since you've been so nice, I'll try another question.
How do I determine if this laptop is considered Single Lamp or Double Lamp. The part numbers for hinges differ.

WXGA laptop resolution problems

Ok everybody, here is my problem, in detail... I am unsure if this is a config problem or a driver problem, but on the offchance that it is fixable, I will post here.
My laptop has a WXGA 17" widescreen, Geforce FX Go5200, and a native (windows) resolution of 1440x900.
The nvidia driver (6111) internally has the ability to probe EDID info and grab monitor resolutions. The problem is that MOST laptop monitors report incorrect EDID information... mine, of course, does this as well - it reports 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480....(puke!)
So, I must turn off EDID proping on the nvidia driver
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
and manually put in my Modelines in the monitor section.
Using
gft 1440 900 60
(as all DFP displays should run at 60 Hz) I grabbed an appropriate Modeline for my monitor and inserted it into the xorg.conf file.
Now, when X boots, xvidtune reports a resolution of 1440x900, and xdpyinfo reports 1440x1024... essentially I have a desktop at 1440x900 with a virtual size of 1440x1024 (scrolling desktop)...
I can simply run
xrandr -s 1440x900
and switch it to 1440x900, however I'd let to get the config working so I do not have to do this.
Looking for comments/suggestions.
Thanks in advance,

maybe you should set the virtual size explicitely:
Section "Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1440 900

Pavilion dv9812us - Windows XP reinstall / nForce drivers won't install

I had a funky virus on my Pavilion so I decided I would format and reinstall XP (my computer came with Vista but I'm not really a fan). I see an nVidia splashscreen come and go and then the installshield wizard comes up and loads the installation files... and then disappears. As far as I can tell, the installer crashes every single time I load it. I also tried downloading the unified drivers from nVidia's website, and the same thing happened. So my question is, how can I get these drivers to work? I really need to get my computer working because it is an integral part of my job... so double thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me on this.

OK, I booted into safe mode, removed the old VIA drivers from the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, and then saw that the nForce2 drivers from a previous install were in Add & Remove Programs. I believe that to be my entire problem. So I uninstalled all NVIDIA drivers. Rebooted into Safe Mode. Installed all the 5.10 drivers with success, excluding the sound driver cuz I don't need it. Rebooted. Windows hangs during loading screen. Reset, then I hit F8 and choose Last Known Good Configuration. Remove all NVIDIA drivers again. Reboot into Safe Mode. Install one driver at a time and reboot inbetween. System hangs because of the IDE driver. So, choose Last Known Good Configuration again, uninstall all NVIDIA drivers, reboot to Safe Mode, reinstall all drivers but IDE, then boot Windows normally. Needed to install display driver, as I have a NVIDIA card. Did that, disabled nwiz and NvMcTray in msconfig as I always do. Reboot. My SYSTEM registry hive is corrupted. So after wiping Linux (which I never use anyway cuz my modem is not Linux compatible) off my other drive and installing Windows and the Internet on it, I found out how to take the registry from a previous Restore Point and copy it to the config folder. Did that, booted to that drive, had to uninstall and reinstall all NVIDIA drivers again, but it works now. I don't have tons of System devices like you Fredrik, but I do have 3 Motherboard resources, which is weird. Whatever. Thanks for all your help, guys

Installation problems in Compaq Presario V2617LA Laptop

Hello,
I am new in all of this Unix-Linux world and I need some help, here's my problem:
I have already partitioned and prepared my HDD to install Solaris, Windows and maybe Fedora (if someone recommends a better Linux it'll be appreciated), all of those three partitions perfectly identified and ready for the OS (it happens that I learn quickly, but I'm still new on this). I perfectly pass all Solaris 10 11/06 installation windows and requirements and Solaris begins installation, BUT when it all looks great, the installation (progress bar) just stops moving having 209.29 MBytes remaining and installing the 'Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3 files for root file system', the wierdest thing is that the little slash-dash at the end is still turning around, the working processor light is on and nothing freezes (except when I navigate through the menu options), I have waited for a whole day and the installation does not finish and even re-downloaded Solaris and burn the image again two times and nothing.
Could it be a hardware compatibility problem? What do you think?

Switching to Windows: Which system?

If I understand, a 64bit OS in Windows doesn't support CS4 Web Premium (or, the other way around)
I'm a long time Mac user and will keep my desktop but for mobile purposes, the price difference in these times is too great for the head not to over rule the heart!
Can anyone suggest what laptops you have had success with in using either CS3 or CS4 on? This is primarily for web development (print stays with mac) and so far Sams Club has great deals but I most of the better machines have Vista Biz/Premium at 64bit.
So, if CS3/4 cannot run on 64 bit, are there recommendations as to which machines have been running CS3/4 without major problems?
I've had too many tech/IT guys tell me that Dells are built to fade after about two years. True or not, it's one way to start cutting through the clutter.
Thanks!

Thanks. One HP is shipping with 4 gigs of ram and all I've read says to reinstall Vista and get rid of all the 'bloatware' that slows the start-up.
At the product page on Adobe, they only say CS4 runs on 32 bit XP but I took that to mean 32 bit across the board because of how I read that. Now I see..thanks on that.
Weight? Nowadays, anything less than a desktop tower is easy to carry. I may be 40, but when the day comes that I start complaining about the weight of a laptop will be when I give it all up and become Amish!
Budget... good call. I would rather keep prices at or below $1200. Otherwise, I'll go the Mac route and just have to start with a little less.
The main use of this machine would be web work but I routinely use 3D and video in much of my web stuff. That being said, I have no issues with relegating development of said components on my Mac desktop and then just placing those elements via the laptop. Until I can budget enough to purchase the software needed on Windows.
I'm seeing this at Sams Club for $898 and they have a 6 month no pay/interest thing right now:

I could easily get a site to pay for this but I wondered how much trouble it is in Windows to reinstall versus just getting more RAM and leaving it the way it is?
I would want the CS3/4 suite to have what it needs.

HP Pavillion Dv7 1279wm cpu upgrade to Intel Core2 Extreme QX9300 Technical Question.

I made a royal error and posted this in the wrong topic first I apologize:
So... I've kept great care of my laptop and it still boots fine (im obsessive about keeping it in tip top shape) but lately its age is becoming apparent and I'm not scared to take my machine apart so... my dv 1279wm is out of warranty and cant get help (for free that is) from HP customer support regarding this issue:
I want to upgrade my cpu from its default Core 2 Duo (see signature for specs) to an Intel Core2 Extreme Quad QX9300 model.
Now i already did some homework on this matter the QX9300 is a socket P CPU and the stock CPU is also Socket P. The Chipset that came stock with my motherboard on my machine is PM45 and the QX9300 is (supposedly) compatible but i've read on other forums regarding the PM45 is that it was revised (or something like that) and that the newer PM45 chipsets can run old and new but the older PM45 chipsets cant run new (specifically Core2 Quad and Core2 Extreme Models). I want to know if the PM45 that came stock in my laptop is compatible with this CPU or Not (is my PM45 new or old)? Also I'm aware that HP locks their BIOS, I'm wondering if that'll be a problem in recognizing a new CPU (perhaps some kind of preventative measure when trying to do an upgrade for example the BIOS reads core2 quad 9100=Dont run)Thanks for reading
P.S. I'm not to worried about heating issues in fact with 4 cores the workload should be lighter per core keeping total heat lower but that's just my rationalization. Regardless, i've heard plenty of people say "why not just buy a new computer?" a seeming suggestion that upgrading the CPU is just silly or useless ( your opinion is your entitlement) but I dont think it is useless or silly (just a guy here trying to breathe new life into his first computer)

Operating System:

did some final snooping around intel's website and discovered the components of the intel PM45 chipset that make the qx9300 compatible
Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300 (12M Cache, 2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) (Configurations: 2)
Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset with 82801IEM I/O Controller Hub (ICH9EM)

Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset with 82801IBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH9M)
# of CPUs: 1
Embedded: No
System Price: $1077
System TDP: 54.5 W
so it works with the revised chipset (82801IEM I/O controller:ICH9EM) and the old (82801IBM I/O controller:ICH9M) as well
but of course the other worry is Locked BIOS and I am NOT comfortable flashing my bios perhaps i'll find an altarnative
the next step is unlocking the BIOS without reflashing ill peruse some threads and post a thread if i cant find my answer
(edit) I'm gonna leave this thread open until I perform the upgrade myself and leave the results as the solution so anyone else with this model ( I can't be the only one lol) who is curions will know from a successful or unsuccessful upgrade lol

I dont need the complete display assembly (unless the cost is not more than a few bucks of that of the panel alone), i just need the panel.

I did not watch the video but it cannot hurt for you to do so. If you need more help post back. I actually think it is easier to replace just the panel as opposed to the entire assembly, but that is me.

It might play them on medium/low settings. The only thing you can upgrade is the memory and it already has 3GB of memory so if you the system memory then you would have to reload your laptop with a 64bit version of windows.
This laptop is pretty much a entry level laptop.

Ram Upgrade in CQ61-411WM up to 8 gigs with Win 7 64 bit?

The specs for this machine is here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01980785&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en...
There is a company selling ram for this model that says with 32 bit the max is 4 gigs and the max with 64 bit is 8 gigs. Is this company wrong or are the HP specs page wrong?
This is the page that says 8 gigs will work for 64 bit in this machine.

Also the sticky in this forum about Upgrades says:
1 ) The bus speed of the new modules should be the highest speed that the
specifications of your notebook state. Do not mix modules of different bus
speeds. Mixing bus speeds results in defaulting to lowest speed and a possibly
non operational memory module configuration. "
But as you see.. my specs page does NOT list the memory bus speeds!
If the max bus speed are not listed in the specs page, then how can I purchase any memory at all? I cannot !
How Crazy is this? !

Is my system DV7t-3300, or DV7t Quad Edition? And how to add more memory to it?

Dear forum,
I have an old notebook computer bought back in March 2010. It's a DV7t series. As it's getting slowly, I'm thinking of adding more memory. However, I'm not sure how much memory the motherboard can support for the upgrade.
I'm stuck with the first step, which is to decide the model number (and then motherboard) of it.
My original order email states the following:
YOUR CUSTOMIZED HP PC
dv7t quad edition
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
• FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 3GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 320M - For i7-720QM and i7-820QM Processors
• 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• Webcam Only
• Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth
• HP Integrated HDTV Hybrid Tuner
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• No Modem
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope
However, the bottom of the notebook computer has a label that specifies the following:
Pavillion dv7
Serial: omitted
Product: WH764AV
Model: Q dv7t-3300.
I visited some memory buying website like 'crucial.com'. However, I was prompted to select the model and there were both dv7t-3300 CTO and dv7t Quad Edition. Unfortunately, they resulted in different kinds of memory (although the specs of the sugested memory modules seem to be the same, these two memory modules have different model numbers).
So, what model number my system has? 3300 CTO or Quad Edition?
Perhaps a suitable model number would tell me which motherboard this notebook has. Additionally, can anyone advice me about on how much memory my notebook can support (8GB or 16GB) maximum?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Max is 8Gb using the following manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666.pdf
And from the following site:
https://www.ramcity.com.au/upgrade/hp-compaq/pavilion-dv7-series-notebook/dv7t-3300-cto/73893
The above manual shows you how to add/replace RAM. Looks like you have to buy 2 x 4Gb sticks.
Regards.

Query regarding installation of SOA Suite on Windows Vista 64 Bit

Hi,
I would like to setup a development enviroment having Oracle SOA Suite 10g and Oracle Database Server 10g on my laptop. Please can anyone clarify whether these softwares are compatible with a laptop of below mentioned configuration:
===========================================================HP Pavilion dv9700t Notebook PC
Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T5750 (2.0 GHz)
17.0" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
===========================================================
I have gone through the compatibility matrix. However, the compatibility matrix mentions that Oracle software is compatible with EM64T processor.
Request clarification on whether an Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T5750
(2.0 GHz) belongs to EM64T family or not.
Thank you.
Regards,
Balu
