Can HP HDX-18t, 1200 premium series laptop support Sata 3?

Hello, newbie here. I have several HDX-18t's, all of which are 1200 premium series. Been looking to upgrade Hdd's to Seagate Momentous XT 500GB (hybrid drives) which require SATA2 support. I believe existing chipset supports SATA2. However, I'm also looking at Momentous XT 750GB (hybrid); however, this requires SATA3 support. Anyone have experience with upgrading their HDX-18t's to Either of these two drives. Any and al info would be appreciated. THX

Hi,
Your laptop supports SATA 3.0 (SATA II) connection so the 500GB hybrid should be fine. You may also use the other one but it will work only at SATA II (3Gbps) speed (like a SATA II hdd)..

Does my laptop support Sata 3?

Hi I own a HP ENVY 15-J181na, I am thinking of buying an SSD dive to replace the one that came with the laptop. I would like to know if this laptop supports Sata 3 so that I will be able to take full advantage of the speed of the SSD?
Thanks

Hi: Unless someone with the same model number as yours has installed a SATA III drive, and can report that it runs at the SATA III speed, no one will be able to give you a definite answer. I can tell you that the chipset your notebook has definitely supports SATA III, but there are a few models that also supported sata III, but only ran at the SATA II speed because HP decided to hook the sata drives to the sata II drive controller instead of the SATA III controller. Most likely it will run at the SATA III speed, but there is a remote chance it won't.

My laptop supports SATA III 6Gb / s?.

Hi all.
I have the Pavilion DV6 6C16NR and I want to buy a SSD (OCZ Vertex 4) III SATA 6Gb / s.
I investigated if the laptop supports 6Gb / s.
1. The manual says 3Gb / s.
2. A few days ago i talked on chat with HP technician and he told me that the chipset supports 6Gb / s, then obviously, your laptop supports it.
3. Talk to another technician today and tells me that he talk to the supervisor and the laptop does not support 6Gb / s.
I'm really confused.
The chipset of the laptop if it supports 6Gb / S, if you search the web you will see that Intel says it.
Can you help, supports 6Gb / s or not?.
If not supported, it makes no sense to spend the money it's worth a SSD.

Hello, I downloaded the program but do not see where it says 6Gb / s.
I think that all new laptops with Sandy Bridge should support 6Gb / s.
I want to be sure before buying the SSD.

Make sure that it is connected to a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 1.1 as 1.1 will not provide power for connectivity.
Try it in a different USB port and see if it works

HDX 18T-1200CTO can not run on battery power alone, but runs on AC fine

I recently acquired a HP HDX X18T-1200 CTO, with 2.53GHz P8700 processor and 8GB memory. Everything appears to run fine as long as it is on AC power. As soon as I remove the power cable it will go into the power on reset, and will continue loop on power reset cycle.
I tried to remove the two hard drives but that won't change the situation.
I tried to boot up the PC using CDROM and it behaved the same way. Runs fine with AC, but immediately go to reset once the AC adapter power cord is removed.
BIOS Memory diagnostic and hard drive diagnostic test ran fine.
BIOS is upgraded from F.31 to F.34 (no change in behavior).
Thanks for helping!

Hi there @ehuang99
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are having trouble with power when running on your battery. I am happy to assist you with this. Since the unit runs well with the AC power connected, you have to check and be sure the battery is charging correctly, or if there is perhaps a bad or intermittent contact for the battery. Check through these pages and see if anything is applicable. Also make note of any error messages, LED flash patterns, that sort of thing. Let me know what you see.
AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In
Battery Charging Is Not Indicated in Vista or Charging LED Does Not Turn On
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Also you can try these, but I expect the problem is more the power stage for the battery.

HP Pavillion G7 series laptop Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit

I have an HP Pavillion G7 series laptop, On trying to install latest version of Skype, Skype downloads but won't install. Error message "internal error has occured" code 1603. My local comp engineer investigated and determined that the Sonix integral camera was not compatible with the latest Skype version. To get Skype to install, the integral camera was disabled which allowed Skype to install but i have to use an external camera. Not always convenient. Does anyone know if a fix for this problem is being addressed ??
Many thanks,
Cybee

I would suggest going back into the recovery manager and doing a system restore (not recovery) back to a previous point where you know it worked. The other option would be to do a recovery but you will lose all data that is not backed up.
Restore:

Supposed "Surround Sound" on HP HDX 18T Notebook

I purchased an HP HDX 18T notebook several weeks ago. The sound when I played DVDs was terrible, virtually inaudible when I was sitting only three feet away. I returned it for a replacement. The new laptop is much louder but it is still far from offering the "surround sound" I was promised in the company's advertising. Is there any way of enhancing the volume of the speakers when I play DVDs? Is this an manufacturing flaw in this series of laptops? I have owned much cheaper versions of HP notebooks and they have had much better sound systems than this much touted "entertainment center." <text deleted>
Thank you.

I find that all that so-called "surround sound" on a laptop does nothing but make the volume lower. If you want to watch a movie with better sound, it's best to use a home theater setup, or at least a good set of powered external speakers on your computer.
The problem is that computer makers fall over themselves to provide sound features that seem good on paper...but not in real life.
Thje way I got around this problem is by downloading Media Player Classic (available at Afterdawn.com). It doesn't even have to be installed. Just run the program, and click file, open DVD. The movie will play in glorious (loud) stereo...as long as you have another DVD playing program on the computer to supply the codec. After all, what good is 7.1 surround, if you can't hear the dialogue?

Hi,
That means you can use up to 1TB (currently on the market, remember buy the 9.5mm one). These are how to do & tips:

HP-HDX 18t w/ Vista 32 won't retain default sound source after sleeping

That about sums it up. It's a brand new HP HDX 18t laptop running Vista32. It's setup with HDMI to our flat-panel TV and we have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage-Micro usb card so we can use the SPDIF digital audio passthrough to get the 5-1 dolby sound to the surround sound receiver. It all works as it should playing Blu-Ray DVDs as well as any other sound... no problem. If we completely shutdown and then turn it back on it's fine. But if we put it into sleep or hibernate mode instead, then it loses the default sound source setting we've chosen (SPDIF) and we have to manually reselect it. Same thing if we disconnect it entirely. But that makes some sense and we don't plan to do that a lot so it's not as big a deal.
Thanks for any insights.
I hope I've provided enough info.

I have the macbook pro 13 inch 2,66 Ghz april 2010 model.
I can't get my headphones to work in Windows 7, 64 bit(bootcamp). It seems like the cirrus logic CS 206 A (AB13)drivers are the problem.
I have installed the latest drivers, have set the headphones to standard audio device (I don't know how you call that option in english as my windows is dutch). I also disabled the macbook speakers, the digital audio device and nothing seems to work. I can play music through my macbook but can't play it through my headphones. In mac osx there is no problem at all doing this, the problem is only in windodws 7.
It's very annoying because I would like to play some games.
And yes I've installed the 64 bit drivers.

Where is the USB 3.0 port on the HP HDX X18T-1200 CTO ?

Does the HP HDX X18T-1200 CTO Premium Notebook PC have any USB 3.0 ports?

No it does not. It predates USB 3.0 by quite a bit. You can add usb 3.0 ports with the expresscard slot and an add-in card.

Hdx 18t GPU: How hot is too hot?

Hello,
I have a HDX 18t i bought off a friend. I noticed that while playing games (WoW, starcraft 2), the GPU gets pretty hot... i have maxed out at 79 degrees C which is crazy hot. I have heard however, that laptop GPUs tend to run hotter, wanted to get an idea of what is considered really hot. I called HP support, and they said they can run up to 90 degrees C without issue, so this is ok. Can a gpu run this hot and still be ok? My desktop GPU rarely runs above 60 degrees C.
Note that the laptop doesnt restart while playing (yet) but i rarely play continously for an hour. Also, I have one of those zalaman NC2000 laptop coolers, but doesnt really seem to help the hot GPU issue.

HP HDX X16-1000EO Premium Notebook PC; not finding channels

hi guys, I know there are a lot of threads on this already, but I have tried many things and still cannot find any channels.
My laptop is HP HDX X16-1000EO Premium Notebook PC, I dont know if it has a hybrid or digital tuner, but I know it has one, as it came with an antena and an adapter.
I live in Sweden, and I am pretty sure that there are some digital channels that I would be able to watch by just using the antenna that came with the computer. But yet, it still finds no channels. Even when I connect it to the RF cable through the adaptar, it finds no channels.
I also installed new versions for all the drivers.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!!

Hello,
Please try to upgrade your system BIOS to the latest version.
Also please make sure you give your unit a good cleaning. A clogged fan and heatsink can cause an abnormal shutdown from overheating.
Here is a grea document on how to accomplish this.
