Wireless module change in pavilion DV7 (amd), to give support for GHz fequency

Hi
Can someone please tell me which wireless module would be best suited (compatible) to the pavilion dv7(amd) so that it might support the GHz "n" type signal. Currently it has the broadcom 4313b/g/n, which although has n in the description, does not actually support GHz! I have looked on the dv7 support manual and it lists Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n as a part used in the laptops, but I can currently locate a new one, only used from USA. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me which would be the best replacement and from where to purchase it, if possible.
Thanks

Pavilion Dv7 4165dx Hard drive failure and performance issues?

I have a pavilion dv7 4165dx notebook that was working great until a couple of months when the performance of my machine started to decrease rapidly. I have performance issues with the machine because it takes 1 to 2 minutes to get from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and another 3 to 4 minutes for it to be ready to use. I already upgrade the memory from 4gb to 8gb but instead of going faster it goes slower and i also did a clean install of windows but it didn't help. Before i have problems it took maybe 30 to 50 seconds to go from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and 1 minute and 30 seconds to be ready to use and by the way i use soluto to tell me when the machine is ready for use.Then last week i notice that the headphone jack wasn't working properly so i contact hp and they told me to send them the laptop so i did, they replace the motherboard and they send it back to me and i just got it today it got a little better but it still lags on the welcome screen and to open programs. I check the memory using memtest 86 and the memory it's fine, but i check the hard drive with HDD Regenerator 2011 and it show i have one delayed sector. Then i check on hd tune pro and it show me some WARNING on section Calibration retry count( as you can see on the picture below) so my question is should i be worry and send it back to hp or what can i do to fix the problem i am having with this notebook?

I have the same laptop and have had issues with it since the day i brought it home. I have had it for a year now and am now replacing the hard drive for the 3rd time. My guess would be its your hard drive because most of the issues you seem to be having ar the same ones ive been dealing with for a while. I can say I'm very mad about the quality of this laptop and am in the process of battling with HP over this issue. If you have a chance go online and look at all the hard drive issues that this laptop has had and even look at the HP forums for this issue it will irritate you and make you wonder why this hasn't been fixed yet!

Pavilion dv7-4070us Fail short DST (Failure ID PKVV5g-5525T4-XD003G-60QN03)

Hi,
Last year I bought the HP Pavilion dv7-4070us laptop, running windows 7 64bit. Everything has been fine and dandy until recently. The past few days I have only been watching youtube videos and TV series, when one day I turn on my computer to find that it stays on the Windows 7 splash screen for an abnormal amount of time. This had happened to me once before, but for some weird reason, ( FYI: I am tech savvy, so this issue was a bit bizarre) it was fixed last time. However, unlike last time, the issue has not been resolved, loading time still takes like 5 min or more. Additionally when I ran the system diagnostics test, the hard drive failed the short DST with the failure id: PKVV5g-5525T4-XD003G-60QN03.
Additionally I ran the seagate (samsung has "teamed" up with seagate) hard drive diagnostic with the same result, short DST failure, but long generic and short generic and smart is verified and passed. So I was wondering if anyone had this similar issue, and how were you able to resolve the situation. Again, the only thing I have done recently is only go on the internet to view youtube and TV series/drama, the only possible changes could be windows update. Other than that I really have not tinkered around with the system.
Searching high and low, it looks like I may have to replace the hard drive. However I am hoping to not have to do this since the warranty had just expired a couple months ago. If anyone could please respond or help I would immensely appreciate it! Happy Holidays.
P.S.. Should you require more relevant information, just ask. Thanks again!

What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

Hi,
Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
Thanks and kind regards,
jB

There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
Drive Manual
Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

We still can't print an invoice of our Creative cloud. There's a failure in the system FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. Why can't this be solved ??????????

How to clone my HDD on my Pavilion dv7

I would like to clone my Pavilion dv7 HDD. It has a WD 1T HDD. I purchased another WD 1T HDD from bestbuy and a StarTech HDD Duplicator. It fails during inital Cloning. Called StarTech and they said I need to find out from HP if there was a HPA (Hidden Protected Area) on my drive. Can anyone tell me if there is a HPA on my HP HDD?
I really want to have a full backup of my drive just in case. My lap top is two years old and I use it a lot.

Hello themanafreak. I understand your notebook is getting warm during use.
First, you should ensure that the cooling system of the notebook is free of dust and debris but cleaning the notebook as per these instructions.
Also, another good step to take is to ensure that you have the latest version of the BIOS installed. I can locate the latest BIOS for you if you provide me with your product number. This document can show you where the product number is located. Finally, I do not know of a way to increase the fan's speed itself but you can set the fan to "always be on" by doing the following.
Reboot your computer and press F10 until the BIOS loads.Navigate to the System Configuration section.Ensure that "Fan Always On" is set to enabled.Navigate to the Exit section and save your changes.
Have a great day!

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop - Raid 1 for two 1TB HDDs?

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop
B3K25PA#ABG
Windows 7 Home Premium
Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV7 with two 1TB HDDs and a 32GB m-sata cache/ssd.
I would like to put the two HDDs into a RAID 1 (mirror) array.
When I enable RAID I loses the ability to boot into Windows.
I have verified that the Laptop will run the two HDDs in RAID 1 as I can run a Linux Boot disk ahd then boot into Windows 7 succesfully.
Something in the Raid /Boot configuration is not allowing the Laptop to boot directly into Windows.
Any ideas or instruction would be helpful please?
Regards
Gazman

Hello @Micro-Motive ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues booting after setting up RAID 1 on your DV7-7008tx notebook.
When setting up RAID 1 mirrors you need to enable the feature and then format the drives. After they have been formatted Windows must be reinstalled. If you have not already done this, please try it now and let me know if you still have the problem.
Why: Enabling the Raid 1 feature does not automatically mirror the drives. The Boot MGR is looking for the content on both drives but is only finding it on 1 and thus fails to load.
I think it's also important to explain that setting up RAID 1 with a 32GB SSD flash along with a 1TB mechanical drive is going to drastically reduce your storage space. RAID 1 mirrors the content on both drives so it can read from both at the same time, increasing read and write speeds. The downside to this is that the mirror only works to the extent of the smallest drive. Thus, your turning your 1TB drive into a 32GB drive.
See here for more information: Chapter 19. GEOM: Modular Disk Transformation Framework This article is for FreeBSD users, an open source Unix-like operating system but the same rules apply as RAID support occurs at the BIOS level.
What you may want to do is install a hybrid drive. A hybrid drive will allow you to use the speeds of SSD at a fraction of the price. You can read about this here: Hybrid hard drives: How they work and why they matter.
Let me know if you need any more information or if installing Windows after enabling RAID 1 does not work.

Pavilion DV7-6030EW HDD Cable Secondary

Hi guys!
I have a problem with finding part number of cable for secondary HDD to my Pavilion DV7-6030ew. I've been googling for a while with no clear results. I bought SSD drive to my NB but now I can't plug it with HDD simultaneously. That cable should by circa 10cm long to reach the secondary HDD brackett. Any ideas?

Yes the best place to get it is newmodeus.com. I have been buying hard drive caddies/cables from them for over ten (10) years and when I have suggested newmodeus here, if I hear back it from the Forum User they are all happy I made the referral:

Upgrade the two Hdds of HP Pavilion dv7-3190ev

I want to upgrade the two HDDs of 500GB in my HP Pavilion dv7-3190ev. What the maximum size of GBs that i can replace them , without any problem with power supply or any other problem in operation?...

Hi,
At this stage, 1TB is a good number for laptop HDD's. You may also need to update the BIOS. My dv7 actually has 2 HDD's (2 x 1TB).
Regards.

HP Pavilion dv7 doesn't start and I can't install operating system

Product: HP Pavilion dv7-1125eo
p/n: NA034EA#UUW
I had Windows 8.1 Pro and I did a virus scan with Malwarebytes-program but I think that it completed before this and didn't find anything. I were also using Youtube and suddenly my computer turned off and it didn't find my hard disk anymore.
I got errors like:
03F0
hard disk not exist
boot device not found 3F0
no bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key
Diagnostic log shows that I have had that 03F0 and also 0601 error before, but somehow I made my computer to work again. In BIOS it didn't show that there is hard disk, can't test it, but it was an option in boot order, maybe it is always there I don't know.
I tried a trick that going to BIOS five times and always save changes and exit. That kind of worked and I were able to use Windows like 15 min but then computer turned off.
Windows repairing things:
Windows Automatic repair -> The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.
Startup repair -> Startup repair couldn't repair your PC.
I used live Linux Mint from my USB stick and it worked good. I formatted my USB stick and tried to reinstall Windows but if I remember correctly it didn't recognize my hard drive.
I thought that maybe my hard disk is broken and I took my Fujitsu Siemens Storagebird Serial ATA WD 250GB external hard drive out of its case and put it inside my laptop. It fitted there well so I tried to install windows into that. First it didn't recognize that hard drive either but when I tried many times and changed it inside laptop between slot 1 and 2
it finally showed in Windows installation screen. Installing always stopped at 16 or 19% and formatting didn't help.
I also formatted my USB stick and made it installation media again but same thing.
Then I thought that maybe I have wrong Windows 8 Pro product key, an upgrade only so I tried to install Windows Vista because it were a factory installed OS. It either didn't recognize my hard drive in Windows installing screen, but this one can be tested in BIOS.
Taking CMOS battery out for hours and trying with only one memory or both hard disks didn't work.
Do I need to install some drivers from DVD during the Windows installation or is the hard disk connections broken or what is the problem? Can't I repair it by myself?
I'm tired of trying these magic tricks so I really hope that someone can help me. Otherwise I need to buy a new laptop or use it with my USB stick and its live Linux ;( Also battery is dead so it doesn't exist anymore and fan makes noises sometimes and computer gets hot. I'm getting amused when trying to fix it even though almost nothing doesn't work anymore but it's hard to let go of it because I have repaired it so many times and even though it's old it's been working the last year well before this
I didn't know where to post this because I don't know what the real problem is.

Hey @mnbvc ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're unable to install Windows on another HDD after experiencing an HDD failure.
The hard drive not found error would indicate the drive has failed. Not being able to test the drive confirms this.
-Source: Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message.
The upgrade key you use only applies to the Windows Upgrade ISO and will not allow a fresh install of the operating system if it has nothing to build on, so you are correct in trying the Vista install. When you attempt to install VIsta are you using the HP Recovery Media or are you using the Windows Vista ISO? I would assume the drive that was installed in your notebook was larger than 250GB and would explain why an HP Recovery would fail during formatting but would not explain why the install failed if it was a licensed Windows ISO.
Have you tried installing Linux onto the HDD instead of using a USB boot? This will help you test the validity of the HDD.
You can try downloading a version of Windows 8.1 and skip the license key to activate the 30 day trial. (Search Google for Windows 8.1 Pro ISO downloads). Once installed activate Windows using the license key you purchased for an upgrade which theoretically should work.
Let me know if that helps or if installing Linux to the HDD fails as well.

HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx has stopped recognizing the DVD-Blu/CDROM

Help,
My HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx has stopped recognizing the DVD-Blu/CDROM player issues.
Literally in last 24 hours. all was working fine. then Stopped.
Device not working is : hp DVDWBD TS-LB23L ATA Device
Whirrrs like reading disc...even gets the disc icon on windows.
Have scoured these boards and tried everal of the solutions.....
1. tried uninstalling and reinstalling Driver as described on these boards... didnt work
2. tried MATS on microsoft website....didnt work
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/
3. Tried the Revo uninstaller attempt .... didnt work
4. tried the CC Cleaner attempt ... didnt work
5. Tried the ATA channel delete ... didnt work
6. tried the BIOS update here : HP Mediasmart DVD failure - HP Support Forum
as additional clarification..... no physical damage to computer....Discs being used are all functional Blu or CD or DVD.
HP Mediasmart DVD is still not working.
NO installation of new programs prior to this going on.
My same fire wall program, anti-,malware has been on this computer since I purchased it 7 months ago.
No software changes in system.
I do not use the Comodo firewall system either.
Thank you

Have you tried installing a trial Blu-ray player. Don't use one from Cyberlink as it's too close to Media Smart DVD.
Use Arc Soft
http://www.arcsoft.com/estore/software_title.asp?ProductCode=TMT5P&gclid=COXEpJ6CqqcCFQEKbAodpQdSCw
----Will give that a whirl when I return home.
Have you tried the obvious and picked a Windows restore point to where it was working ? -------Windows 7, in that particular machine isn't letting me dial back for an earlier restore point..... it isn't even letting me see dates....Believe me I would have been happy to dial back a week or two. Not sure why, Havent been able to dig in that direction....was trying to be careful about not digging a deeper hole before moving all important work files and stuff to a different machine before toying with windows deeper.
Maybe the drive itself has failed, do you you have another HP laptop that you can try it in ?-----have several HPs...might try that soon.
Check "Autoplay" in the control panel.----have done the autoplay fixes that have been proposed in other chains of similar problems....no avail.
I will keep throwing ideas at you no matter how simplistic they may seem. I find that it starts people thinking in another direction.     --------Believe me, I appreciate it, just as long as it doesn't devolve into .....Is the machine plugged in?
Have you tried burning a DVD with it ?   Not yet, that is a good idea.
Try installing Image Burn and see if the drive will create ISO files with a Blu-ray disk. You will get a warning that Image Burn can't do this, but continue and let it dead the whole disc. Let me know if that works and I will give you the software to play the movie from the ISO files.
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Use mirror 8 provided by Image Burn.
What version of Media Smart DVD are you running ? Was using the most recent release......then uninstalled it and went back a few versions... to one that was linked to in another similar thread.
Thanks.

My pavilion dv7 doesn't start up

My pavilion dv7 Notebook PC doesn't start up. I removed battery and power and I reset hard. I started it up. Thats happened many times. Each time i shut it off I need to reset hard to start it up again. What is the problem and what is the solution for it?
Is out of warranty. Is there any HP repair center I can apply for repair?
Product Number: XE274EA#ABU

Hello @danaos947 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues starting up your dv7 notebook and have to do a hard reset to boot each time.
If you're only looking for service you can contact the HP Phone Support line. You can schedule a repair over the phone. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Can you tell me if you have the same issue when only using the AC adapter and no battery?
I would also suggest a startup repair. You can do this in the HP Recovery Manager by tapping F11 while the notebook boots up.
You can also try a system restore to before the issue started while in the Recovery manager if the repair does not work.
When the notebook doesn't boot are there any LED lights or sounds (Fan, HDD, etc...)? If not, it's power related and could be the battery motherboard or adapter depending on the source you're using. If there are sounds and appears to boot it might be the GPU or display. Try an external monitor in this case to rule out the display.
Here are some other documents you can go through:
Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) or Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8).

Pavilion dv7 - Can I add a second hard drive?

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 2173cl laptop. I've read that I can add a second internal hard drive. Is that correct? If so, what is the max size that it will take? Any special type that I should buy?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.

Pavilion dv7 blue screening - HP support assistant cannot test BIOS or memory modules but BIOS can?

About a month ago my dv7 started doing something strange - during normal use (not gaming, just word processing, showing a powerpoint presentation, showing a video on youtube, etc.) the cooling fan speed would suddenly ramp up to jet-engine speed and shortly thereafter the computer would blue screen, crash dump, etc. (no, I did not write down any info from the blue screen message - I will do so next time). Having experienced a blue screen issue with a Dell laptop I thought the hard drive was going bad, because about the same time I was suddenly unable to run a backup of the hard drive. After several attempts, I was finally able to backup the hard drive, and then replaced it with a new drive, re-installed OS with my recovery flash drive, worked through all of the windows updates that were recommended, and thought everything would be good to go. Now I have no problems backing up hard drive, etc. Then on day 2, after only a few hours of use, the cooling fan speed suddenly ramped up again and the blue screen returned.
A friend who is a tech suggested running HP diagnostics on everything, so I rebooted, hit F2, and started by testing the hard drive; as expected, no problems there. I next tried to test the memory (8192 MB total in two modules), and the test failed. I also tried testing the BIOS, and that too failed. The HP diagnostics reported that it couldn't even read the BIOS. Hmmm, strange. So I re-booted, hit F10, and went into the BIOS (BIOS date 10/5/11, revision F.1B). I HAVE NOT IN ANY WAY MODIFIED THE BIOS - I'm good, but not that good. Via the BIOS test utility, I tested both memory modules independently and then together, and everything checked out fine. I also tried switching modules between slots and re-tested via the BIOS utility, and that too checked out. I then returned to the HP diagnostics utility and tried re-testing the memory (both modules together - failed, one module at a time - both failed, in both slots).
HP tech experts, can you give me any guidance? This has been a great machine for me, I have taken good care of it, and am hoping to get a few more years out of it (I'm a middle-school science teacher, can't afford another one at this point). If I can't find a fix, I may have to go back to using my antique overhead projector in my classroom...
