G72-B60US

Is there a good replacement wireless network card that fits into my HP G72-B60US laptop. The Broadcom 4313GN wireless card that came with it will only do 72Mbps tops. If I plug in a Netgear A6200 USB adapter, the speed goes up to 144Mbps. I'd like to replace the Broadcom card with an Intel AC network adapter if possible. I am purchasing a Dual Band router to replace my present Dlink router that has only 100Mbps capacity.

Notebook G72-B60US

I have a notebook computer G72-B60US my computer crashed 3 nights ago when i let a Norton technician into my computer via-Internet. Due to the fact my anti-virus would not pull up the technician erased some files on my computer. my computer restarted -4 times during this process just fine then the final erasing of files my computer would not start back up. I tried everything i knew how to do and nothing would work. I took my computer to Office Depot where I bought it at for them to get everything off of my hard drive so i did not lose anything. I ordered the "System Recovery DVD Window 7 Recovery Media for Window 7 Products" I just recieved it today and I am trying to load it back onto my computer and followed all the directions I know it will take longer than an hour to complete the whole process. But it keeps sticking on 12% and I do not know what to do. i tried to restart my computer and it said system reboot failed press ctrl+alt+del. I did that and the same message reappeared. It is like system start up/ booting file isn't there. I am at a lose for words now i just bought the computer on febuary 23, 2011 so it is not that old. But go figure my older laptop has never failed me and I have had it since 2005. Please Please someone help me I really need it right now.

I would almost have to be there to see this, but typically, if you boot from the dvd (it seems you've already accomplished this) it'll do a factory restore on the already active partitions.
I would try to hit the F12 key while your computer is booting, most HP's have the f12 key mapped to the recovery partition, so see if that does anything worthwhile for you.
Sorry I can't give a straight answer without seeing the PC in action.

Broken G72-B60US AC jack fix

I have a G72-B6OUS notebook with an ac jack that has broken an anchor pin internally. It still functions but is getting looser with each charging cycle. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried a 90 degree connector to swing the ac input away from the side of the notebook. As I see it, one fatal flaw the G72 has is the placement of the ac jack, every time it's tugged on the jack gets a little looser. Eventually the jack shorts out and burns the motherboard.

Hi
Please try to update the Bios & Chipset driver on the unit also trythe step given below incase both does not resolve your issue please check the warranty status and call HP Technical support to replace the System Board.
Try this:
Disconnect AC
Shutdown
Remove battery
Connect AC
Startup
Open Device Manager
Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click All of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these listings).
Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices.
Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Connect AC
Startup

Have HP G72-B60us with Core i3 370M Notebook and Socket PGA988 ; will Core i5-580M same socket work?

a Core i5-580 has same socket but runs at 266speed compared to my i3-370 of 2.4 speed I think the motherboard is a
HP 1439 60.3E with Bios F35

Look on page 83 or your service guide and the i5-580M is listed. I believe that all the first generation "i" series processors have the same socket.

I suggest using IC Diamond thermal compound, it's very easy to apply.
You are not going to notice that much difference in performance, installing a solid state drive will make a noticeable improvement.

G72 charge discharges

My G72 B60US- about 2 yrs old, starts to discharge with the charger plugged in, if I move the plug-in around in the port it starts to charge but then goes back to discharging again. The orange light stops lighting meaning its operating on battery. This seems to happen every few months, then stop acting up for awhile. IT will charge (orange light on) for an hrs trhen goes back to operating on battery.

You need the jack replaced on the motherboard,loosing connection.

Unable to print to a network printer, HP LaserJet 4000n

After much frustrating going in circles, I finally installed the software for my network printer, an HP LaserJet 4000n, otherwise idetified on my 4 other PCs as HP LaserJet 4000 PCL 6. It works well on the others, including an HP Netbook with Windows 7 Starter.
I finally got the printer to show up as HP Universal Printing PCL 6. I can set the Properties from my wife's new HP G72-B60US, running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit). I can click on "Print Test Page," and I get the message that it was sent to the printer. However, it doesn't print. I get an "Error - Printing" message. I tried using the Windows assistant, but couldn't get any results.

Recovery partition compromised after rootkit

I've just gone through the cleanup process after the olmarik.TDL4 boot record rootkit on my HP G72 B60US notebook. I downloaded several programs and went through the cleanup process step by step with someone in the Malwarebytes forum. I noticed this morning that the BOOT folder on the Recovery Partition D showed a modifed date from the time of purchase of the laptop to last night at 10:27pm when I was running cleanup programs with Malwarebytes. When I open this folder, the only file with a similar modified date is the BCD file. My question is, would the cleanup tools have modified this file, or could it have been the rootkit? I want to know if my recovery partition was compromised and if it is unsafe for me to recover the computer from it now.
Thanks.

Hello lilsassy,
I understand that you are worried if the partition was affected by the virus.
It’s not that often that a virus will affect the recovery partition but it does happen.
More than likely it was the cleanup program that modified the files.
You can always order the recovery media to grantee that there is no trace of the virus on the system.

Restored, Made Back Up Files, Restored them via Drive E

Hi,
I originally rececived the BSOD, so I made back up files, & restored the PC. I use Win 7 Home
Now, I had to put the first of the 8 disks back into my PC. Then via E drive, I accessed the first disk, open it & at the fottom of the files was a Restore file or app. I clicked it & it said to put in Disk 2, then 3 & so on thru 8.
But now, I open Libraries & under pictures, none of my pictures are there. But at the bottom in the left panel, under Computer, I see this:
"Back up files 2014-05-17 171024"
But when I open that, I see 93.win 8/17/2014 8:58 Win File
& see that from 94.win to 99.win
How do I get all my photos, music, documents, saved websites back?
I thought once I backed them up, & restored them back into the reformatted HD of my laptop, they would all fall back into where they were
Thanks for any/all

Hi,
Thanks & here's what you're looking for I hope! Bear with me as I have never had to go thru this.
1: HP G72 B60us P/N: XG988UA#ABA
2: Restore question, No, When the PC went thru it's own self repair but couldn't fix it, I followed the on screen choices. First I used 8 discs to back up all my files.
Then I chose System Restore for out of box condition. I think you may mean HP system recovery. System restore is not the same thing. Perhaps you also meant HP factory image recovery. Is that the case?
3: I then placed the discs one by one into the Notebook CD/DVD slot for lack of proper. Message on Screen asked me to place Disk one, then finished & asked for 2, thru 8.
And clicking on the Computer Icon, it gave me Local C, Recovery drive, & Devices with removeable storage VD RW Drive (E File Backup 1
I thought this would be easy! Back up my files, via the PC, then after HD is reformatted, I insert the back up disks, & the photos go to My Pictures, all my music goes to WMP, etc. but early on, it very frustrating!
Thanks again for all your help!
What is the installed operating system?
Did you use the HP recovery disk set or usb recovery media?
Did you press F11 to access the Recovery Manager and then select factory image recovery?
It may seem as if I am asking you many questions, but please bear with me as I must know exactly which programs you used. The next time you have issues try booting into safe mode.

Xbox on laptop

I was wondering if there was some way for me to play my Xbox 360 on my HP G72-B60US using the HDMI port

I would say no the hdmi port on your laptop is an output what pretty much means you can connect it to your to and it will show up on the tv screen but you cant make the tv show up on your laptop screen

Hard drive failure on a G72-260US?

I hope someone has a few tips to help me out on this. I picked up an HP G72-260US about 10 months ago and suspect the hard drive has failed. I have had no prior problems with the unit. I was starting to back up about 3 months of photos to DVD and all was well. I went to refill my coffee cup and when I come back I had a black screen with 'no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key' message on the screen. I then turned it off and back on and got no boot device again. I checked in the bios (esc key on startup menu) and the hard drive is no longer listed in the list of boot device order. I tried the test from this menu and it says I have no hard drive installed. I used the restore bios default key and saved it but no change. I unplugged the cable between the motherboard and the drive on both ends and checked but could not see any oxidation. I removed and inserted both ends of the cable several times just to make sure. I can hear a solid 'click' when I power down coming from the drive as if the heads are parking so I assume the drive is getting power. I think I can feel a bit of vibration from the drive and it sounds like it's not spinning up to anywhere near normal speed. If I put a bootable cd into the cd/dvd drive the unit boots up but the hard drive does not appear in any list - it's like it vanished into thin air. This is my first HP notebook since I usually purchased another brand so I am hoping there is some trick here that I don't know rather than it came equipped with a 600 hour MTBF hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like it has failed,
Install a new one and use the HP recovery discs to install the OS.
If you have very inportant files you need recovered, you can contact this company, they are the least expensive and reliable company that can recover your data.

HP G72 USB Ports Not Working - Battery Issue?

I recently purchased a G72-250US and found out too late that none of the three USB ports work. I have tried three different devices - a mechanical keyboard, a Razer mouse, and a SanDisk thumb drive. Of the three, the thumb drive is the only one which receives enough power for its LED to remain on, but none of the devices are recognized by Windows, even as 'unknown' devices.
I've gone through every step I could find or think of to correct any possible sources of problems that could be created by software - uninstalling USB drivers, changing power settings, manually adding data to the Windows registry - and nothing has worked. I have not been able to find any options in the BIOS regarding the USB ports. I have also tried to use 'refresh' in the HP Support Assistant's Health Analysis tool, but the process always fails at 'Gathering Information'.
This has led me to believe that there is a hardware issue, but I'm not sure what the nature of this issue could be. If the ports were just dead, why would the thumb drive be getting any power at all? The only thing I can think of is that there is an issue related to the battery. Per another thread on this topic, I unplugged the laptop and took out the battery and left it like that overnight, but this did not solve the problem. I then ran the Battery Check from the Support Assistant, and it very quickly indicated a failure.
Is it possible that a bad battery is causing the USB ports to not provide enough power to my devices? I previously owned a Compaq CQ42 whose battery was so bad it caused an error to pop up every time I turned on or restarted the computer, but this never resulted in any issues aside from having to keep it plugged in at all times.

Hi,
Please go to the following link to download chipset driver and reinstall on your computer:
