DV7-4183cl Smart AC Adapter ?

Hi, I have been getting a message pop-up when I plug in my laptop's adapter lately. It says, "for full performance connect a higher capacity smart AC adapter." I am using the original AC adapter that came with my laptop, which is 2 years old. Is something wrong with my adapter? Why am I getting this message?

lmwh454,
Sorry it took so long to respond.
Do a hard reset.
Turn the computer off.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
Make sure the power adapter is unplugged from the wall also.
Check the connection in the middle of the cable to be sure that it has not came loose.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
Here is a link to a post on how to disable the pop up.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Replace Smart AC Adapter for HP 17-E054CA Notebook

I have a new HP17-EO54CA and it came with a Smart AC Adapter. I keep getting messages that I should purchase a higher output AC adapter as it may be needed for some applications.
I don't know how to do this. i have Googled about as many combinations as I could think of, and I'm pretty good at finding things on the web, but I cannot find how to replace this adapter with a higher output one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
What is its wattage now ? Is it a 90W PSU which comes with the machine ? You may need a 120W charger. My loan machine (Envy 17 - same shape, size and very close specs) comes with a 120W charger.
Regards.

Smart AC Adapter

I've been getting the following message on screen
The Smart AC Adapter connected will power your computer, but potentially at a reduced performance level. Your computer is designed to vary performance as needed when a smaller capacity Smart AC Adapter is connected. Resource intensive tasks may cause your system not to perform at its highest level with a smaller capacity Smart AC Adapter. Please connect a higher capacity Smart AC Adapter for full performance.
however I bought this HP Omen start of January, its essentially still brand new and came with a 120W charger which is exactly what I have plugged into my laptop when this message pops up. It didnt happen from day one only within the last week or so but still why am I getting this message at all?! I'm assuming it means my charger isnt optimal for my laptop.. but then why would the charger that came with the laptop not be the one best suited for its use?
Please help!

Hi @JasminJade ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Hp smart ac adapter (power supply)

what is the difference between the ac smart adapter 90w-19.5v and 65w-19.5v?
if i use 65w-19.5v ac adapter instead of 90w-19.5v ac adapter , will it create any harm to my laptop or laptop battery..?

IF your notebook was delivered with the 90Watt unit and you switch to a 65 watt unit, you may find that you start seeing warnings popup onscreen that caution you that the power supply is no providing enough charging capacity.
It won't hurt the notebook at all, but it is not good for the main battery.
The warning means that the battery is likely to not be fully charged by the 65 Watt power adapter. If your battery does not get fully charged, its service life may not be as long as expected. The main battery is warranteed to one year. With most notebooks, owners get two or more years of use from a battery. That is only if the battery was charged properly.

HP Pavilion dv7-4269wm SMART Error and Recovery

My hard drive recently crashed after receving SMART errors for over 6 months. I am planning on ordering a new hard drive to replace it. Thankfully I was able to backup my computer about 2 weeks ago so I dont think I lost anything important. My question is regarding the recovery discs from HP. Although I am from the US, I am in the Netherlands Antilles at the moment and am having a hard time contacting an HP office to mail me the recovery discs. If I install a new hard drive and install Windows on my computer, is it necessary to have the recovery discs to make sure all the drivers, etc. are working or will my computer still work properly without them?

How are you planning to reinstall operating system?
To confirm the fail, do the hard drive - quick & extensive test from BIOS - System Diagnostics by pressing ESC key or F10 as soon as you power on the laptop.
If that fail & generate 24-character failure ID, is a hardware failure & replacement if the option left.
You can use Recovery media only if you buy & install a new HDD of capacity 750gb or higher.
For clean installation, that's not an issue.
You can download & save all the latest version of the drivers (check the date & version number) setup/.exe files in to USB. Insert USB & DVD simultaneously and there'll be option for loading driver during process of installation, just select the USB from there & it'll automatically install the storage drivers from it.
Later on after Windows installation, additional drivers could be installed from USB manually with a restart of notebook after each installation.

Smart ac adapter power output is too low for this computer on business notebook 6830s

Hallo,
Sometimes he is charging, sometimes he isn't.
I think it's a bad contact between the plug of the power adapter and connector on the motherboard.
Can I do something to improve the contact ?
thanks
Jos

That sounds as if that could be the case. Is the power adapter an original HP or is it an aftermarket brand?
If your notebook was delivered with a 65 Watt Power adapter the it is recommended that you replace it with an identical power adapter. Don't try to second guess the engineers who designed the notebook.
Best regards,
erico
I believe it is an original power supply; the model number is noted in my original post. I really would like to agree with you about second-guessing the engineers, but I have seen too many poorly designed systems, including one in particular from HP.
At my last job, our CTO was an HP fanatic, and owned the largest and most powerful HP notebook at the time. I helped him to order a docking station for it based upon the HP compatibility list. When the docking station was connected, he encountered numerous strange power-related problems, and especially had problems with USB devices connected to the docking station ports.
It turned out after a bit of experimentation that the power supply that came with the docking station was inadequate to power the set-up, and using a larger supply completely resolved the issue.
However in my case it does appear this might be a dead or counterfeit supply. I will test it on my colleague's notebook, since it is identical except that he is running Windows (SP)7. I will update you with my findings. Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Tom

Hp Simple Pass stopped working Pavilion dv7 4183cl

the HP SimplePass on our Pavilion dv7 laptop has stopped working properly - when I scan my fingerprint it takes me to Google.com for every location I have set up instead of going to the correct location - this just started a few days ago. When I check the login and location information it's correct but it will not take me anywhere but Google.com - any ideas on what is going on here?

Hello Rsculthor,
Your simple pass is not working correctly.
You may have had an update come through the system that corrupted the software.
Since it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

HP DV7-3165dx Needs New Adapter - Help?

My HP dv7-3165dx needs a new adaptor as the original one no longer works. Should I just buy this one in the HP store? The original was a 65W. I've been using a 90W one a family member lent me just so I can use my laptop. I just want to make sure it's fully compatible and the best choice. Never had to buy an adaptor before. Lately my laptop just seems to be getting...old and tired, I suppose!
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Accessories/AC-Adapters/H6Y85AA?HP-65W-AC-Ad...

Hi,
65W or 90W or 120W can be used. The main 2 things: the tip and voltage. Voltage can be minus/plus 5% but the tip MUST be fit perfectly. Many machines come with TWO units, the first one is for on the road (lighter and smaller).

DV7 4080, unplugging ac adapter makes battery indicator say no battery

Brand new battery. Battery indicator says plugged in and charging while ac plugged in. When I unplug laptop goes to battery poower mode and will hibernate if indicator says battery inicated and ac unplugged. Sometimes when I unplug the indicator will go to battery undetected and ac plugged in indication. Have updated Bios

Hi,
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here. When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the PC on just the battery. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shutdown the PC again. Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue at all.
I am waiting to hear back from you.

HP Smart Web Printing interfering with Internet Explorer

Hello - I have a new dv7-4183cl notebook and I just added a new Photosmart C310 wireless printer. When I added the printer, I installed all of the programs included on the installation disc. Since then, I'm having a very annoying problem with the mouse pointer changing from the typical arrow to the precision select crosshair within the active window of Internet Explorer (not on the address bar, toolbars, bottom taskbar). The effect seems entirely random, but once the pointer changes to the crosshair, it does not change back and I am unable to select anything on the page with left clicks. I have to close the page and open another. If I have multiple tabs, some tabs will be fine and some will not. I also have Safari installed and the problem isn't there so it seems linked just to IE.
When the crosshair is on the screen, I can hilight a rectangular section and a small box pops up saying "clip.." and "print.." So, just to see what happens, I selected clip and it brought up a pane on the left side of the screen for HP Smart Web Printing. I hadn't used this, but it seems to be the culprit because it is randomly turning itself on (so to speak). I've looked through the preferences, but can't find a way to turn it off.
Has anyone had such an issue? Should I try to uninstall teh Smart Web Printing? Is there an update from HP? It is an annoyance, but enough of one that I would return the associated printer and choose another brand if there were no resolution possible. Thank you and happy New Year to all.

Yes, I had the same problem and I found out it is due to the HP software HP Smart Web Printing. If you uninstall that program the crosshair pointer will not show up anymore.

HP Pavillion DV4 1123us power adapter problem

Hi,
After using the HP Pavillion DV4 1123us for two years suddenly I noticed that the power adapter is not supplying power to the computer and it is making some not too loud repeatitive sound. I replaced the power adapter with HP 90W Smart Power Adapter which worked fine for a few weeks and then I noticed whenever I connect this to the wall outlet it makes some repeatitive chirping sound and this is also not suppying power to the computer anymore. It behaves like this even when it is not connected to the laptop which indicates that there is some problem with the adapter and not with the internal powers supply of the laptop. It is so surprising that the replacement power adapter stopped working so early.
In my home all the other laptops are working just fine and and found all of them are two pin - only these two are three pin. Not sure if this has gota anything to do with this fault.
Any help on this matter will be highly appreciated.

AC Adapter for HP2400 docking station

I have purchased a HP2400 Ultra Light docking station (used) which was sold without an AC adapter. I want to use it with my HP Elitebook 2530p.
According to HP website, both the 2400 docker and 2530 notebook use the External 65W Smart AC Adapter. So, for the docking station, can I use the power adapter which belongs to my notebook (it fits)?
If I can't, what is the part number for the AC adapter I need to power the 2400 docking station?
Thanks.

Do I need a 12oW or 230W adapter?

What ac adapter should i buy?

My work laptop has just been upgraded to a ProBook 430 G1, which came with a 45w ac adapter and I'd like to get a spare power cable for when i use the laptop at home.
The HP site suggests a "HP 65W Slim Adapter" as an accessory for this model (http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=E9Y94EA&opt=ABU&sel=PBNB)
I have a number of ac adapters from my previous HP laptops, and they all appear to be 90W. If HP are recommending an accessory which is a higher Wattage, will my existing 90W adapters also be suitable?
Thanks
