Can i upgrade an hp pavilion ze4900 laptop with an ssd?

The hard drive is failing in an hp pavilion ze4907wm (ze4900 sold thru walmart). 
Are there any special considerations for replacing the hard drive (capacity limits etc)?
Can I put an PATA SSD in it?
Thanks

If you can find a PATA SSD then probably. You'll need to make sure that the jumper is manually set to Master. There also might be compatibility issues.
Overall, I'd recommend just replacing it with a regular PATA HDD ... There is less of a chance of an issue.

    Did you find an answer to this problem?

    It means the hard drive has likely died. It is going past where the hard drive would be in the boot order into network (PXE) boot. To double check, tap F10 as you power up and see if you can find the hdd in the BIOS. If not you just need a new hdd.

    You could upgrade but since your in the same family processor your not gong to get any gains with the upgrade. Stick with your current processor.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

  • Can I upgrade the processor on my laptop? If so, what processors are compatible for my system?

    I have an HP Pavillion dv6-2150us, which runs an Intel Core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Can I upgrade this processor and if so, what processors are compatible to this system?

    First think about memory and an SSD drive. Laptop processor upgrades are a big hassle and not cheap.

    Hi:
    Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
    I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

  • Can I upgrade my PowerBook G4 to work with a new wireless HP printer?

    Can anyone tell me how to upgrade mu PowerBook G4 so I can print wireless to a new HP printer?  Can I upgrade to a newer operating system?

    The latest operating system that the Powerbook can use is Leopard 10.5.  If you plan to upgrade, in the US call the Apple online store at 800-MY-APPLE soon, as they still had some Leopard in stock as of a few weeks ago.
    The HP wireless printer is just another device on your wireless router network. If your Powerbook uses a wireless internet connection today, then the only thing you may need to do is to install an HP wireless printer driver, if there is one for whatever level of OS X you have. Check this HP page for a driver:  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
