Youll have to dismantle laptop to find out part number , theres a lot variations of these DV7 laptops , as for error sometimes it can be caused by dust jamming fan so it cant spin anymore , so u want to check that out before buying new one.Anyway one way or another youll have to dismantle whole laptop.

DV7T quad core fan on and off on and off repeatly

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone experience this fan problem. Just today, I opened quite a few chrome tabs, maybe like 50 or so. And after a few hours of usage, suddenly the fan started to turn on and off on and off at every 1 second interval. So I shut down the laptop and restarted it. Of course now it's back to normal. But could this be a symptom of something in the hardware? Overheating? Too many application open? Any hardware fault detection program that can find the problem?
(I do quite a bit of high graphics gaming on this laptop sometimes and never experienced any problem before)

Hi Rainallthetime,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP dv7t Notebook not working correctly. Here is a link on Overheating. The overheating could cause the computer to keep shutting down or the fans not working constantly. I would also check to make sure your BIOS does not need updating.
50 open Windows in Chrome is likely to cause overheating and then shutting down.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Dv7t Quad - A Conglomeration of Problems

I customized and purchased a new HP Pavlilion dv7t Quad 2 weeks ago and have had it for one day now. I have run into a number of problems and, while at first I wanted to avoid having to send it in, I am afraid my device has too many unacceptable errors to be repaired by any local tech shop. I am making this post in the hopes that you can offer any support possible, but also in the hopes that you can provide me with an email I can contact which will allow me to type everything presented below, and recieve a quick, comprehensive response. Thank you so much for your time.
I purchased this HP Pavilion dv7t Quad because my 2009 HP Pavilion dv7t quad developed an error whereby its screen would go black and remain black after the windows launch animation disappeared. I purchased this laptop specifically because it is advertised as an entertainment laptop, and I expected it to be able to run the MMORPG RuneScape (Runescape.com) at max specs. However, I discovered that on this new laptop, if anti-aliasing is toggled, all in-game text is distorted and distracting black lines are generated in the game’s sidebar. Disabling anti-aliasing is not acceptable as it renders the graphics untenable. My 2009 dv7t was able to run Runescape at max specs without any problems. It is unacceptable that an updated, more expensive model has fewer capabilities than its 2009 predecessor. There are many other examples of how this 2011 dv7t is less able than the 2009 dv7t. Both laptops have 17.3 inch displays. However, when the 2009 laptop opens a webpage on Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome, and views the web page at 100% zoom, the page is perfectly sized; on the other hand, when webpages are displayed at 100% zoom on the new 2011 dv7t, they are small and difficult to read. If I increase the zoom to 120%, the size becomes apparently corrected, but select images become distorted.
The “T” Key is sticking. When I press "t" it usually remains locked down, and I have to press it again for it to pop back up, and then press it another time to type the letter t.
There are times when my volume buttons do not seem to work. I will be listening to a Youtube video and press the “Turn volume up” key, which is also f11 superscripted, and the “Beats Audio” volume adjust animation will appear, and the animated CD will rotate, suggesting that the volume is being increased, but the volume does not actually increase.
The Track pad’s multi touch gestures, such as vertical scroll, are virtually nonexistent. The vertical scroll on my 2009 dv7t was without error.
The plastic base beneath the keys is not 100% sealed to the chassis, particularly around the “delete” key.
I purchased “Two 9 Cell Lithium-Ion Batteries” for the sole reason of having been told “By the way, to answer your prior query, the 9 cell battery is not an oversized one, John.” In response to the question: “Is a 9 cell lithium ion battery considered oversized on the dv7t?” However, upon arrival, I have discovered that the 9 cell battery does protrude from the base of my laptop. I want to exchange one of my 9 cells for a 6 cell, and receive the money back for the difference of price between the 2 batteries.
The Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner protrudes slightly more than it should from the chassis.
The startup time of the laptop itself does not seem to be in par with startup times of other new laptops.
The last ¾” of the lid of my laptop seems to be made of plastic. It was my understanding in all promotional videos that I watched that the entire lid and palm-rest were to be made of metal.

I told you the 9 cell was going to be oversized, but after you ordered I think. Is the resolution on the new laptop higher than the old? That might explain the issues you are having with small text and the rendering issues in Runescape. I don't think you are going to get a comprehensive answer to your problems and am sorry to say it looks like you have purchased something that is not going to meet your needs. The build issues with the laptop are inexcuseable but it sounds like you are a very fussy customer and I am not sure a high-volume company like HP is the place you should be buying a laptop. HP is not going to be happy with me but you might want to consider a custom shop like Sager for a laptop. It will cost a bit more but at the higher price they are known for superior build quality.

PLEASE HELP Me Choose the Perfect dv7t Quad Specs

am customizing an HP Pavilion dv7t quad edition notebook PC.
I have a few choices to make. Money is not really a problem, but I don't really want to spend an extra $150 if the difference for the price is utterly minimal. I would really appreciate you reviewing my current selections and determining whether or not I should upgrade or downgrade them, where applicable. Also, I would really appreciate you answering any questions found throughout my post. Thank you so much.
I want my laptop to:
1) Run RuneScape with no lag (except for lag from the game itself)
2) Load webpages and programs extremely fast, and maintain the performance as the computer gets older.
3) I do not want my laptop to overheat. My current dv7t from 2009 becomes so hot every time I use it that I cannot let it touch my skin or it will hurt badly.
4) Have a beautiful graphics display
5) Be physically appealing. My scale is: The Samsung Series 9 is considered beautiful, the Alienware is considered hideous
With these requirements in mind, please tell me whether or not you think my proposed laptop is a good choice. Also feel free to tell me about any other laptops that you think might work well for me. (PS: would the Samsung Series 9 be able to handle Runescape? Thanks!)

Since the speed is ever so close, and the features are the same between the two, I would go with the 2720 due to the fact that it's about $200USD less. You will not see a difference in speed for 100mhz. Only long calculations, such as compressing a movie, MIGHT gain you just a minute or so with the extra 2mb of cache on the 2820, but not really worth it I think."

Hi,
For computers/laptops, nothing is perfect. You always can find a better one tomorrow. Depending on what do you need/want you can buy a suitable laptop for TODAY.
2. Processor: 2670QM should be fine
3. Graphics: stick with 6770M
5. HDD: I prefer 7200rpm HDD, in theory should be faster
6. 6 or 6 cells is ok, again depending how long you use the machine w/o power point nearby
7. It depends but I prefer full HD (1920 x 1080)
8. I would buy BD/DVD combo as mentioed in the specs
9. No choice anyway
10. BT (Bluetooth) is a technology which allows you to transmit and receive wirelessly over a short distance (I really don't know how far it can go but my phone only works within around 10 meters). You can use it for a BT mouse, keyboard, phone ... Please read more information from this:

Is my system DV7t-3300, or DV7t Quad Edition? And how to add more memory to it?

Dear forum,
I have an old notebook computer bought back in March 2010. It's a DV7t series. As it's getting slowly, I'm thinking of adding more memory. However, I'm not sure how much memory the motherboard can support for the upgrade.
I'm stuck with the first step, which is to decide the model number (and then motherboard) of it.
My original order email states the following:
YOUR CUSTOMIZED HP PC
dv7t quad edition
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
• FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 3GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 320M - For i7-720QM and i7-820QM Processors
• 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• Webcam Only
• Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth
• HP Integrated HDTV Hybrid Tuner
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• No Modem
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope
However, the bottom of the notebook computer has a label that specifies the following:
Pavillion dv7
Serial: omitted
Product: WH764AV
Model: Q dv7t-3300.
I visited some memory buying website like 'crucial.com'. However, I was prompted to select the model and there were both dv7t-3300 CTO and dv7t Quad Edition. Unfortunately, they resulted in different kinds of memory (although the specs of the sugested memory modules seem to be the same, these two memory modules have different model numbers).
So, what model number my system has? 3300 CTO or Quad Edition?
Perhaps a suitable model number would tell me which motherboard this notebook has. Additionally, can anyone advice me about on how much memory my notebook can support (8GB or 16GB) maximum?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Max is 8Gb using the following manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666.pdf
And from the following site:
https://www.ramcity.com.au/upgrade/hp-compaq/pavilion-dv7-series-notebook/dv7t-3300-cto/73893
The above manual shows you how to add/replace RAM. Looks like you have to buy 2 x 4Gb sticks.
Regards.

This is a user to user forum and not a contact for HP, my self I live in Canada and help out where I am able.
If this were my machine I would return it and exchange it for a new one or get a refund on the sticking "T" key alone.
You say you only had it for a few days, here in Canada most reputable places have a 30 day money back policy. I would exercise that policy if you can.
It sounds like you have a lemon, either assembled Friday before the party or on a Monday after the hangover.
While some of the issues may be cured by adjustment (mouse pad problems) or a driver reinstall or update (volume problem), none of these things should be happening on a bran new computer, just get rid of it. It's supposed to run perfectly out of the box or at least you should not be experiencing any of the problems that you have mentioned.

Mid 2009 macbook pro battery is dead and fan is constantly ramped up (not due to heat). Would installing a new battery fix the fan problem?

Battery icon has an "x" over it and I need to have my laptop plugged in to be on. I've ordered a new battery to install, but I was wondering if it's possible that something else might be causing the fan to be on over drive constantly. I've tried resenting the SMC and the PRAM, but nothing has stopped the fans from running at higher than normal speeds.

If you've updated to Mavericks, you'll either need to use the original install DVD containing the AHT, or download the right one from Apple's servers, then replace the hidden /System/Library/CoreServices.diagnostics folder.
I think that replacing the battery is likely to stop the fan problem anyway.

Satelite l655 - s5094 - werid cooling fan problem

ok here the deal when my laptops is around 40 C the fan runs at 100% and as the temp rises it slows down to bare min and when the temp hits high then 70 C it gose back to 100 %. i got a colling pad but it barly helped. and fan control with speed fan out of the question unitll they support the laptop. if there a way to change the fan setting that would be great to know.

Heatsinks don't need to be changed. They need to be cleaned, which you've done.
It's not clear from your post, if your fan problems persisted after you cleaned it. If they have, sounds like the fan is failing to me.
Try one these. Got the part number from here. From your model's parts list here.
Please let us know how it works out. Good luck.

BIOS 902 cooling fan problem

Today, I powered my laptop and see the error BIOS 902, cooling fan problem. Then the laptop shutdown. However when I tried to power the laptop at third time, It can start up normally and I can use my laptop for more than 8 hours
I found the solution in google that upgrading the BIOS. However the error 902 still there. My laptop always start up normally at third time.
What should I do? Should I bring my laptop to warranty center?
Thanks for your advance!

IMac 27" (mid 2010): Will replacing the HD cause fan problems?

Hi,
I have an iMac 27" (mid 2010). My HD is broken, and I'd like to replace it. I've already installed an SSD, so replacing the HD shouldn't be much of a problem.
However I've read that replacing the HD causes the fan to spin up all the time. Some sites say this started one generation later, but some remain unspecific or say that this problem affects all iMacs. Before I replace my HD, I'd like to know what to expect.
So my question is: in my 2010 iMac, can I replace the HD without causing fan problems (provided I put the temp plug in the right place )?
Best regards,
F

OWC is mistaken. I don't know why they keep saying that. (I'm not even certain the OWC blog linked above related to using the same make drive on the late 2009s was ever correct. I had a long phone conversation with an upper level WD tech some time ago who said that the originals were special ordered by Apple.) Those drives have Apple proprietary firmware which puts the temp sensor output to the jumper block, and you cannot just replace with a drive of the same manufacturer. A non-Apple WD drive will not have that connection at the jumper block.
Two possibilities: Get an external stick-on temp sensor that will work with your model or use SSD Fan Control.
http://exirion.net/ssdfanctrl/
If I'm mistaken and you do get it to work directly with a replacement WD drive I will be pleasantly surprised, since I have a Late 2009 which will need a new drive sooner or later. Please post back with your results.

? for the experts regarding the HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition (with the new Sandy Bridge CPU's)

Hello,
This is a question for the experts.
The HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition has the following GPU:
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 6570 graphics
Is this GPU GDDR5 or DDR3 in this laptop? I know someone that purchased one from a MicroCenter and it shows GDDR5 on the packaging (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bravoexo/5298674802/) and in GPU-Z, but I called HP support and they said it was DDR3 (although, HP support told me that GDDR5 didn't exist and that DDR3 in GPU's were the most advanced to this date).
Please let me know ASAP, as this is a main factor in me purchasing this or not. I can find other DDR3 gaming laptops out there for less, but if this really IS GDDR5, then I'm sold.

Thank you both for your questions and answers, I was wondering the exact same thing. I'm ashamed to admit I already began the process of perchasing this computer prior to having all detailed specifications made available.
I'm upgrading from a 13.3 inch HP laptop called the dv3510nr. It was never intended for enthuiast gaming, but it has exceeded the sum of its parts. It does have dedicated graphics, backlit keyboard, other novelties that make it the best computer I've personally ever owned.
Few people can say they've managed to run Fallout 3 or Supreme Commander at maximum detail on a 9300M GS. It has 512 MB of DDR2 memory, 4 GB system memory and a 25W P7350 Core 2 Duo processor (2.0 GHz)
Its served me well but mobility is no longer a priority. I waited until Sandy Bridge was announced and took the plunge immediately. 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 6570 with 1 GB, 1600 x 900 display AND best of all:
-The i7-2720 quad core processor, (2.2 GHz, up to 3.3 GHz with Turbo Boost)
--for a total price of just over $1,000 after taxes. With 2 year warranty standard.
For brand new, bleeding edge technology not yet even widely available, at such a large upgrade margin at an absurdly low price; I didn't need to know anything else.
So imagine my excitement when I learned this 6570 was in fact based on the old 5770 (the lowest available card with GDDR5 support), not the 5650; and could contain a 1 full GB of the fastest memory technology on the market, GDDR5.
That would mean virtually no bottlenecks in my system as a whole; I don't have an SSD but truth is, I don't like them anyway. They don't last very long with 'wear leveling', cost too much and only impact synthetic benchmarks.
My new DV7 can't get here fast enough.

Return for Fan Problem (aka mooing)?

Has anyone actually returned their Macbook for the fans coming on and off (or "mooing")? If so, did you get a moo-free MB?
The mooing isn't too bad - and I have hope that software could fix it; but if there are Macbooks that don't moo, man, I would like one. However, no point in going thru the process if there is no possibility of getting a moo-free MB.
Thanks.

There definitely ARE some that do not moo. Or if they do, they do it much softer. Last night I had a white one that, every 10 seconds, would moo. It was horrible. Even with my TV on, I could still hear that fan revv up and then revv right back down, then 10 seconds later the process would repeat itself. I certainly couldn't live with that. I'm a student and would surely be kicked out of class with a laptop that sounded like a zoo, lol.
So anyway, I returned it today (demanding an exchange). What got me is when I explained the moo'ing to the girl, she sounded surprised and that she'd never heard of the problem before. THEN she takes it in back for about 5 or so minutes and comes back out and persists my MacBook didn't have a fan problem. I told her the machine had to be running for about 15-20 mins before it would kick in. Well she's gets my exchange and then continues to tell me "they're supposed to do that." She said hers at home did it. She also even commented about the posts on these forums about it at that point, too. I was thinking, okay then why didn't you tell me that when I explained the problem? I have a feeling the manager told her to tell me that.
Well, I got my black one home today and have been using it for about an hour before work (while it charged), and now for almost 2 hours (running down the battery). I've only been using it lightly and my temp hasn't gotten higher than 60C even on AC power. Perhaps this is why it doesn't moo? My white last night was close to 70C (on light use) and the moo wouldn't quit.
Unfortunately, this one does whine (somewhat loud on AC power, but very very soft on battery). However, that is a non-issue because turning on bluetooth shuts it up right away, or using QuietMBP works also. Whine I can deal with, but there is no work around for the moo.
So, my advice, is yes, return these moo'ing MacBooks. Like others have said, the more returns they get back for this fan issue, the faster they will (should lol) correct it. There's no need in my eyes to sell a laptop that behaves such as some of these do. I do not pay well over a thousand dollars to have to sit in a zoo-like atmosphere. And that's exactly what I told the sales woman. A lot of times I sit in quiet and this fan noise is too loud to ignore. However, I really do believe this is tied to a heat issue, because it is clear some of these run much cooler on light use than others do. That must be why I haven't heard the fan on this one - my temp is much lower than the one I had that moo'ed.

Have a look to this thread and give it a try.
Take care with temps. After unplugging the sys fan, check your temps immediately and for a long time. Make some tests to ensure this fan is not needed in your Mega.
Another solution should be adding a resistor (from 20 to 80 Ohms) to low the revs.

Notebook fan problem

Hi,
I've had my laptop for 2 years now, my laptop: Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC, has a fan problem. My fan stopped working when I turn on my laptop. After using my laptop for a while (when it starts to turn overheat), my fan kicks in and only works for exactly one hour, after the hour, my fan turns off. While the fan is on, it cools down my laptop. My fan won't working again until a couple hours later or when I restart my laptop and wait for it to overheat again.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

If you just bought it and it's only a few months old then it should be covered for a replacement. You shouldn't be forced to buy a new one, HP should give you one to make it right.
I hear you, if you are busy you don't have time but don't let them swindle you. At least give the computer to someone who does have time and tell them to do a web chat the warranty people and explain that it runs at 98 C (or over 200 F) and that it needs to be replaced and could have burned you. Do this before the warranty period is gone. I think new computers come with a year warranty.
I say webchat because it is easier to keep a record of who you have spoken with and what they say in case they try to weasel out of replacing it. If they give you any trouble about it, post the log or send it to me in a message and I will tell you how to deal with them.
For several months I had to send emails back and forth and go through three years of receipts to get them to honor a warranty and I saved the logs of our chats and I know every sneaky trick they use to try and deny people service.
