Dv8t-1000, windows 7 64bit, Faulty function card?
Hello
I have a malfuctioning function card. The treble and wlan keep going on and off. I need to know how to opern the laptop and how to get the type of card that controls the wlan and treble. I tried to get a manual to see how to open it and it show a lot but not how to disasemble the laptop. I want to order a new card to resolve the problem. The wlan light is blue when it functions and turns red when it shuts off and I have not internet connection. This happen multiple time in and hour.
Thanks

DV8T and Windows 7-64 4gig Reserved by Hardware
Weird issue. I've had a lot of issues with my two brand new DV8Ts. Both show the same issue where the system just freezes up, video goes blank and the fan shuts down. I've seen instances where take manager shows on 4 gig of RAM and then it is rebooted it shows 8 gig of RAM. I went and removed the DIMMs and put them in the opposit slots and now they only show 4 gig of ram all the time. Resource manager says that there is 4 gig reserved by the Hardware.
Here's the chat I had with HP:
Simon Smith : WIndows cannot see all of the RAM
[An agent will be with you shortly.]
[You are now chatting with Amit Kumar .]
Amit Kumar : Welcome to HP Total Care for notebook support. My name is Amit.
Please give me few moments while I review your issue description.
NOTE: For security reasons, PLEASE DO NOT sends credit card information via chat.
Amit Kumar : Hello Simon. How are you doing?
Simon Smith : Good
Simon Smith : I'm trying to get some support for a DV8T but it wasn't listed when I tried to bring up the chat
Amit Kumar : Simon please let me know what exactly the issue we are facing with the notebook?
Simon Smith : This model is NQ226AV (DV8T-1000). It has Windows 7 64bit. The laptop has 8gig of RAM and BIOS says 8 gig but when windows boots up task manager says 4gig.
Simon Smith : Resource manager says that there's 4 gig reserved by the hardware
Amit Kumar : Simon please click on start then on the run box please type dxdiag and press enter
Amit Kumar : And let me know the available memory
Amit Kumar : Simon are you with me?
Simon Smith : memory 8192MB RAM
Amit Kumar : Its mean that the notebook is taking all 8gigs of memory please do not worry,
Amit Kumar : May I please have the product and serial number of your notebook system?
Amit Kumar : Please look at the backside of the Notebook you will find a bar coded silver sticker and on that sticker you will find an alphanumeric code starting with p/n for product number & s/n for serial number.
Simon Smith : product number is NQ224AV, Serial Number is XXXXXXXXXXX
Amit Kumar : Thank you for providing me the information
Amit Kumar : Kindly confirm your Email Address
Simon Smith : <text removed for privacy>
Amit Kumar : Thank you
Simon Smith : The unit is setup to be shipped back to HP on a Return Authorization Number Friday but if I can fix this problem I'll cancel it.
Amit Kumar : Simon please do not worry about the ram issue
Simon Smith : I've also tried to reset the RAM. At one time diags showed some bad memory.
Simon Smith : Why should I not worry about the RAM issue. I need all 8gig.
Amit Kumar : The notebook is using 8 GIGss
Amit Kumar : Now please do not worry and if you wish that you are not felling comfortable then you can ask for the replacement.
Simon Smith : Is there a special way these memory DIMMS go into the slots?
Simon Smith : If I put them in the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but then the laptop does a blue screen.
Amit Kumar : Simon when did you purchase the notebook
Simon Smith : I got it in the mail from HP on two weeks ago.
Amit Kumar : Okay
Amit Kumar : Simon are we using the same notebook while chatting with me?
Simon Smith : No
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and try to reseat the ram once.
Simon Smith : I've done that 10 times already.
Amit Kumar : Simon see if we are getting the available memory of 8 gig then it mean that the notebook is using all the memory perfectly
Simon Smith : Then why does task manager say 4gig and Resource Manager say that 4 gig is reserved by the hardware?
Simon Smith : If I move the memory to the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but the computer will do a BOSD.
Amit Kumar : I will really appreciate if you do allow me 2-3 minute while I go ahead and quickly do a research on this issue,
Simon Smith : I'll give you all the time you need. I've done some research too and found nothing.
Amit Kumar : Thank you so much
Amit Kumar : Thank you for staying connected with me. I really appreciate your patience.
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and try to run the diagnose test on the memory once,
Amit Kumar : Please shut down the notebook
Simon Smith : working it now.
Simon Smith : ok it's down
Amit Kumar : Please press the power button and immediately keep on tapping F10 key
Amit Kumar : Please let me know as soon as we are on the BIOS screen
Simon Smith : Ok I'm in the setup utility
Amit Kumar : Now please click on diagnostic option
Simon Smith : ok
Amit Kumar : There we need to click on memory test
Simon Smith : It's running, Says "Dur ing Memory Test"
Amit Kumar : okay
Simon Smith : Memory Test Passed
Amit Kumar : Please let me know if you get any error?
Simon Smith : It's finished
Amit Kumar : Okay
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and intall the BIOS update
Simon Smith : It's already installed
Simon Smith : V.12
Amit Kumar : Simon did you purchase the notebook online from HP?
Amit Kumar : Simon are you with me?
Simon Smith : Yes I did
Amit Kumar : I am providing you the HP shopping number : 1 (888) 999-4747
Amit Kumar : Please ask for the replacement.
Amit Kumar : I believe there is an issue with the ram slot.
Simon Smith : Is this a known issue with this model?
Amit Kumar : I dont think so
Simon Smith : This is the second one I've had on this order that has the same problem.
Amit Kumar : May be you got a notebook which is having the issue.
Simon Smith : I've already returned the first one.
Amit Kumar : If there is an known issue with this notebook then we should have the updates
Amit Kumar : I will raise your concern to my senior authority
Simon Smith : Yea you would think. I'm reading on HP's forum that several people are having issues like mine.
Amit Kumar : I will definitely raise this concern.
Simon Smith : Thanks... I'll end chat now.
Amit Kumar : Simon I would request you to please ask for the replacement one more time
Amit Kumar : Thank you for giving me an opportunity to assist.
Please let me know if you have another issues or queries that I might help you in resolving?

...don't crash into a tree trying to avoid a skunk...Update... So after swapping around the memory to the opposite slots I still couldn't get Windows to see all the memory. It's always saying Hardware Reserved 4106 MB.
Then I decided to reflash the current v.12 system ROM to v.12 again. Once I did that it was able to see all 8GIG. So, I shutdown the laptop and swapped the memory around again. This time it only saw 4 gig after windows booted up. Ok so I flashed the BIOS again. Once it rebooted and went into WIndows and it now sees all 8 gig. I picked up the laptop and moved it over to my desk and it rebooted and hung at the Blue HP Logo. So now I'm back to the origional issue. Flakey issue for sure. I had to power it off. When windows came up it only saw 4 gig of ram. I've rebooted three more times and it still only sees 4 gig of RAM. I even tried flashing the BIOS again and nothing.
I think there's two issues. One is with the BIOS and a possible memory mapping issue and the other is a memory seating issue.
I chatted with Tech support again about this and they said there's no way to fall over of v.12 of the BIOS update. The flash utility doesn't allow for that.
I'd like to hear from other's that have experienced the same issue.

ITunes & Apple Mobile Device Driver Not Compatible w/ Windows 64bit Systems
In short, I spent over 2 hours on the phone tonight with Apple Support. The call was elevated to a software engineer. After several minutes he apologigized and state the Apple Mobile Device Driver is not compatible with Windows 64Bit systems.
Therefore I can't activate or do anything for that matter. I effectivly have a $600 paper weight. I asked the engineer if they have any intention fixing it and never received a direct response.
None of the documentation that I have found states 64bit Operating Systems are not supported. The support rep stated nor he or his collegues were unware the mobile device driver didn't support 64 bit OSs either. I consider this to be really misleading and a huge oversight on Apple's part.
I wrapped up the call by asking him how I go about returning the device without being struck by the 10% restocking fee. He didn't know.
Anyone have Steve's number? I sure would be nice to get at the minimum a full refund.
I just thought everyone else should know so you don't tie up support lines and waste your time trying to find a resolution.
Regards,
KSPadOMG same thing here; rather annoyed and now have set up accounts on 2 comps(both 64 vista ultimate); about to try my 32 bit vista on my lappy; we'll see... i don;t have high hopes thoush.
What i knew about iPhone before buying it:
What You Need
To use iPhone, you need:
A new two-year wireless service plan with AT&T
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
iTunes 7.3 or later, available at www.itunes.com
An iTunes Store account
An Internet connection
You must be at least 18 years old to open a new AT&T wireless account. You will need a
major credit card to open a new iTunes Store account.
Yeahyeah check all that stuff;
Oh well; just when i thought i'd finally cross over to the beautiful packaging of APPLE. I remember in design school that form follows function. Thanks.

Cannot open Bluetooth Settings HP DV8T-1000
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have the HP DV8T-1000 with built in bluetooth.
The software for the bluetooth in installed (in fact I uninstalled and reinstalled it). Everything says "the device is working properly" however if I right click the bluetooth icon, then click "open bluetooth settings" nothing happens.
When I click on show bluetooth devices it just searches forever and finds nothing.
When I click on add a device it never finds my discoverable Motorola S305 headset.
I have checked on the HP website and I have the latest drivers installed.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I think if I could get into the bluetooth settings perhaps I could solve the problem. Who knows.
Darren
This question was solved.
View Solution.Thanks so much for the advice. It helped me solve the problem!
When I ran services.msc I saw 2 items for Bluetooth:
Bluetooth Service - Handles installation and removal of bluetooth devices - Started - Automatic
Bluetooth Support Service - The bluetooth service supports discovery and association of remote bluetooth devices. stopping or disabling this service may cause already installed bluetooth devices to fail to operate properly and prevent new devices from being discovered or associated. - Disabled
Took some effort to get "bluetooth support service" started but once I did I could then open bluetooth options.
I still could not sync my device though. Next I checked to see if it would now show up as already installed and it did. I clicked the connect button but got an error.
Next I deleted the device and re-discovered it. Now it all works great!
Thanks so much!

MSI Customer Service; Problematic R7970 BE Experience! Faulty Replacement Card!
G'day their,
In December-January I went to go build a new computer consisting of 2x MSI R7970 Lightning BE graphics cards; these cards in my opinion we're amazing! Little did I know of the quality of these products...
Upon putting my 2x 7970's in crossfire, I experienced catastrophic amounts of artifacting (at 67+ Celsius GPU Temp), I then narrowed this problem down to one of the graphics cards (The other card works FLAWLESSLY) – I called up MSI, explained my situation, they got me to RMA the card, I sent out the card for the RMA at the start of January.
Two days later, I get an email from MSI Australia saying that one of the fans on the graphics cards we're broken – they also told me, the piece broken off the fan was not found in the packaging, thought that was extremely odd and unusual. They offered me a deal, to pay $165 to replace the fan on the graphics card and send me a "NEW" R7970 Lightning BE, to fix the initial artifcating problem I had – thought OK, what the heck, went through with it.
Last Thursday (14/3/13) I got a "new" replacement R7970 Lightning BE – opened it up, took out my other 7970 in the computer out, put this "new" one in. All was hunky dory, turned the computer on, no video was being displayed from the graphics card – the graphics card's fan was just running at full speed, no activity from the card. I then placed the graphics card in another PCI-E slot, nothing, placed it in another computer, nothing... At this point I was furious.
I took the card out, put my other 7970 in, worked flawlessly. Looked closely at the 7970 I got sent, and found that it was dinted on the side:
h**p://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/209/screweduppipe.jpg/
Not only that, the card's heat-sinks we're also loose.
The quality of the card was appalling, looked to be second hand.
Clearly showing graphics cards fans upon purchasing:
h**p://imageshack.us/a/img805/3576/20130110204108.jpg
I'm honestly gob-smacked. What do you guys think I should do? Contact MSI Australia yet again?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
David.Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 16-March-13, 14:45:57
Absolutely! It sounds like you are able to control your anger pretty well, but be firm with them and request they not only RMA the card, but pay for shipping 'both' directions. You should not have to pay for the return.
Hahaha! I've tried really hard too keep cool!
I have prepared an e-mail, and this is what I have written thus far - should I even send an e-mail, or just call them, or both?
Hello Asif,
Upon you're instruction, I have installed the 'replacement' R7970 Lightning BE into my system - yet it does not work! When turning the computer on, no video is outputted - there is no activity from the graphics card, not even the blue LED's on top of the graphics card illuminate - all that happens, is that the fan's on the card are running at full speed. I installed my other R7970 Lightning BE, and works flawlessly! No problems what so ever! I took out the 'replacement' R7970 Lightning BE and found that a pipe on the side was damaged - dinted (you can see this in the pictures attached) and the heat sink on the graphics card is loose compared to my other R7970 Lightning BE, on top of that, the graphics card looks appalling, as if it's second hand. I also noticed that when I took the 'replacement' card out, it was rather hot, for running for 10 seconds, much hotter in comparison to my other R7970 Lightning BE graphics card. I was assured, by you, at the start of January, when you spoke to me of a replacement card, that it would be a 'new' card, you never stated that it will be a 'refurbished' version, even so, if this card worked correctly, as a 'refurbished' card, I would not be fussed anyways. I'm simply gutted and appalled that I received a completely faulty 'replacement' card, after waiting for 2 and a half months; where all I want is a card that functions properly and flawlessly, just as my other MSI R7970 Lightning BE does! I did not spend $1200 on 2x R7970 Lightning BE's to be presented with faults! I will contact you on Monday in regards to this issue.
h**p://imageshack.us/a/img209/9464/screweduppipe.jpg
(The card on the left is my 'replacement' card - dinted, the card on the right is the other R7970 Lightning BE card I had originally)

David.
By the way, thanks heaps for you're speedy response! Much appreciated! -
MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?
The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity. -
I have a brand new HP laptop windows 64bit that is having issues installing Itunes 10.6.3. Whenever attempting to install, I get the error message : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR." I thought this was an issue with the new version, and attempted to retrieve/install older versions of Itunes and same issue occurs. I have tried other forums and resolution tips from : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3551 and nothing still. It appears that apple installs bonjour and nothing else. I have tried extracting the itunes package and installing the executables seperately, but everytime the error stil arises. I cannot repair the apple software update as it cannot install from the error mentioned above. Looking through the logs, it shows error : 1721, problem with windows installer package.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?
There are so many different error and problems peopl are having.
This is a link to mine

I think it has to be something on Apples end.
Hopefully they fix it soon. Ive used a few GB redownloading and Im going crazy

I updated my computer to Itune 11, did not like it, and uninstalled it exactly according to directions. I re-installed Itune10.7.021 for Windows 64bit, but now I keep getting the message "The file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. How can I resolve this problem?
zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hi
Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
ThanksWhen Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

Install Oracle Clusterware/RAC Windows x32bit or Windows 64bit ?
Hi,
What is your suggestion to install Oracle Clusterware RAC on Windows.
Why choose Windows 32 bit ?
Why choose Windows 64 bit?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?Hi,
I definitely recommend 64bit Windows, the principal reason is memory addressing limitation.
In my standpoint do not exist benefits to use Windows 32bit with Oracle Clusterware/RAC.
32-bit processors have address registers that are 32-bits wide (can address up to 4GB physical RAM).
You can to use a workaround by enabling the addressing of more than 4GBytes using parameters in Windows (AWE/PAE). But if I want to use more than 4Gbytes, I'll go to Windows 64bit.
The 4GB addressable space per process is divided into system and user space. By default, the system space is 2GB and the private user space is 2GB. Each user process shares the same 2GB System address space.
The services of the Clusterware, ASM and Listener will consume at least 1Gbyte of memory initially.
If you create an instance to to use 1Gbytes and you have 50 connections you will have problems with connections to the database raising the following error.
TNS-00510: Internal limit restriction exceeded
32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error
TNS-00507: Connection closed
32-bit Windows Error: 109: Unknown errorReason: Problems of memory usage. i.e. Out of Memory.
Another point:
With Windows 32-bit using Clusterware/RAC 11.1 you can set Automatic Memory Management(AMM) feature (MEMORY_TARGET) but you cannot use if you create 2 Instances on same Host.
Check this note..
*ORA-27102, OSD-00031 Unable To Extend Memory_max_target And Memory_target Past 2GB [ID 842881.1]*
Oracle Solution: Please install the 64-bit OS on 64-bit server, hence there is no memory limitations
I belive that is reason wich Oracle not support Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2 on Windows 32-bit. You cannot use ASM 11.2 on Windows 32-bit.
Definitely do not exist reason for me to to use Windows 32bit to support Oracle Clusterware.
There are lot services involved wich require memory and a big limitation of memory on 32-bit.
At present all latest CPUs support 64bit. Then install Oracle Clusterware/RAC x64, even when you are use less than 4GBytes memory, you only have benefits.
Benefits of Use 64-bit are:
64-bit versions of Windows have implemented up to 16 terabytes of virtual address space
64-bit programs use the 16 terabyte tuning model (8TB user / 8TB kernel)
No performance penalties for large memory
Unlimited user connectivity
64-bit Windows versions allow addressing of large physical memory sizes without using PAE
*Windows Memory Configuration: 32-bit and 64-bit [ID 873752.1]*
This document gives a better understanding of my perspective.
