Graphics Driver for HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC for Win 8.1

Hello Everyone,
I currently have an HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 Quad Edition with intel i7 and switchable radeon HD graphics card . I have made the jump from Windows 7 to 8.1 as I am a Current University student studying Information technology and have the need to be updated in terms of technology. I found Win 8.1 to run a bit faster on my PC than Win 7. I have ran into a couple of problems when upgrading to 8.1.
1.) I've been having an issue finding the correct and stable Video Graphics driver for my Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics. I tried intalling the original Win 7 driver in the HP driver but does not work properly. I have also tried download a generic driver from the AMD Radeon driver website, but the screen is extremly dim when intalled and is almost impossible to use unless I hold a lamp to the LCD screen. The brightness function keys DO get reconized when pressed, but the brighness will not change no matter how high or low the brightness threshold is at.
2.) It is a bit out of topic, but I have also been having alot of trouble getting the validity fingerprint sensor to work with Win 8.1.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these issues or point me in the right direction in order to get them fixed. I am an IT student and have done alot of reasearch on these topics but have been unable to get them to work as intented.
P.S: I have read alot of fixes about brightness using regedit and edditing some values on specific registry entries. I have found them for many other pc manufacturers, but not for HP. Not an expert on registry stuff, but seems like many people get it fixed by doing so. Just an idea.

Due to the age of this model, HP is only providing drivers for Windows 7. After searching through the HP Forum, I was unable to find a satisfactory solution to your issue.
Please contact official HP Customer Support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, for official assistance with your issue.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • HP Pavilion dv6z-6b00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC Rom is unstable and stop working

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6z-6b00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC  The DVD became unstable and stopped seeing CDs and DVD's  If i put in a disc in drive E: I get the error message  Insert a Disc in to drive E:. If I leave a DVD or CD in the Rom and reboot the PC the ROM will see the Disc until I change the Disc the I get the error message Insert a Disc in to drive E: I called Hp support and they sent me a new Rom.  I installed the rom.  Tested It, and It worked great until an update message appeared. So I installed the critical updates and after the install the Rom stopped see CD's or DVD.   The new Rom is a  hp DVDRAM GT31L SATA Cdrom.   Can any one help? 

    Hi,
    Try the following to manually replace the driver for the optical drive.
    1.  Download the following utility that will add 'Take Ownership' to the right click context menu.  The download is on the following link.
    Take Ownership
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip  ( if you have a 64bit version of Windows, you will need this version 7-Zip ) which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.  Then just right click the zipped folder, select 7-Zip and select Extract Files.  When done, open the newly extracted folder and you will find the utility to add 'Take Ownership' to the right click menu.  Just double click it to install and then close the window.
    2.  Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, open up DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall and click the prompt to complete this.
    3.  Click the Start Menu, open Computer, double click Local Disk C, open the folder 'Windows', open the folder 'System32', right click the folder 'drivers' and select Take Ownership.
    Just below this folder, open the folder 'DriverStore', open the folder 'FileRepository', open the folder that starts 'cdrom.inf', right click the 'cdrom.sys' file and select Copy.
    Close all open windows and then Paste this file on your Desktop.
    4.  Once again, click the Start Menu, open Computer, double click Local Disk C, open the folder 'Windows', open the folder 'System32', then this time open the folder 'drivers', right click and select Paste.  You should now get a prompt that the file already exists - select the Copy and Replace option and click on any further prompts to complete this.
    When done, close all open windows and restart the notebook - when Windows reloads let it install the device driver and then let it idle for a couple of minutes.
    Check if the drive now works correctly.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC hard disk failure imminent.

    Lately this laptop has been running slow and hot. Just yesterday,  I recieved an error message on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO), saying "SMART Hard Disk Error" followed by a message telling me that the SMART hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. It told me to backup my files and then press F2 and run a hard disk test. The Quick Test Passed. The complete test gave this error.:"Hard Disk reporting failure 301 Disk Name: Toshiba MK7559GSXP Volume C:/D:/F:/)". I am sure I will have to replace the hard disk. Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF). Can this hard drive be replaced with a Hybrid SSHD like the following:
    Seagate Hybrid Drives ST1000LM014 1TB MLC/8GB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s NCQ 2.5" Laptop SSHD 
    or
    TOSHIBA Hybrid Drives MQ01ABD100H 1TB+8GB(NAND Flash) 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop SSHD
    If not, what would be the best replacement hard drive that you reccommend?

    Hi,
    You can put the second HDD on the second bay, existing BIOS can handle this BUT you need more hardware namely a caddy set (caddy & cables). You can buy from:

  • Rradeon HD 7690 dual-graphics doesn't work in hp pavilion dv6z-6c00 cto quad edition laptop?

    I recently purchased an HP Pavilion dv6z-6c00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC from HP's online store. The laptop was customized with a  Radeon HD 7690M discrete graphics card. There is a "dual-graphics" feature that allows a program to be configured to use either the low-power integrated graphics (a Radeon HD 6520G) or the high-performance discrete graphics (the Radeon HD 7690M). However, even when I set a program to use "high performance graphics", the program refuses to use anything but the low-power integrated graphics. When I use ATI's driver, it calls the card a "6700 series", and the card still does not work; when using HP's driver, it calls it the proper name, but the ATI Catalyst Control Center does not work (necessary to assign programs to the discrete card). There is no setting in BIOS to set the computer to use either card exclusively: in fact, there are no graphics settings, period.
    Some examples of the games I have tried are:
    - Minecraft (I know OpenGL does not work with Dynamic Graphics)
    - Portal 2 (Direct X, so should work in theory)
    Will I have to get the "special" BIOS update (outdated) that adds the setting for graphics switching?

    I suggest dowloading and installing the latest driver for the radeon HD graphics module from the web support portal for your notebook.
    What is the p/n for your notebook? (you can remove the main battery and get it from there or from the HP Support Assistant)

  • BIOS Update for HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO

    I was just looking at the updates for my laptop and saw two BIOS updates here.  I was wondering which one actually applies to my particlular machine.   As one can see, one is a few months more recent than the other.  Does this mean that it has the fixes that the older one already employs?   If so, why list both when only the newst one is relevant?  
    Looking further into this, I took a look at the revision history (Previous Versions) for both and  they each list themselves as "Current".  One lists as  "F.29 Current 10-2013"  and the other "F.24 Current 02-2013".  So, which one is actually current? 
    Can anyone shed some light on this?   I can post more specific info about my machine upon request if that would help.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The one with the later date is more current. This is customary on computer manufacturer support websites. They will usually keep the last couple of versions up there with the latest one. Toshiba is particularly bad about never removing old versions of drivers and BIOS. And BIOS updates are cumulative. You can skip over to the latest one and all the updates in all the interim versions will be included. The files are labeled clearly as to their date of issue and that they only apply to models with Intel processors so it should be apparent you need to install the latest one and only of your machine has an Intel processor. If you need anything else let us know.

  • 2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - What do I need?

    Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (Product # WV703AV). It has room for two harddrives but only came with one. What would I need in order to install the second hard drive? Would I need just a connecting cable or do I also need caddy or kit?
    Also, could I get a solid state? Would my notebook support that or does it only use regular ones?
    Currently, I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I've got a 500GB hd (which came partitioned with hp tools/recovery).
    Any help with what I would need for a traditional hdd or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through other people's posts first,  but couldn't find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    The only place I know of where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is from this vendor.
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345
    Your notebook should be able to work with a SSD but I cannot guarantee it.
    I really don't see any point in adding a SSD unless you make it the primary hard drive, and in order to do that, you would need to get a SSD the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.
    Most folks get smaller SSD's and they use the W7 product key to activate a plain installation of W7.
    If you can read all 25 characters of your windows 7 product key you can make your own installation media and use that to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link  below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • Headphone Jack Problem HP Pavilion dv6832tx Influx Special Edition Entertainment Notebook

    Hello. 
    My laptop has spontaniously stopped outputting sound to my head phone jack. I ran trouble shooting and came up with no problems. Checked the sound and could hear the chimes but not any other program; music, game or otherwise.
    After a bit of searching I tried the fix on the Windows 7 discussion board and 'rolled back' the drivers for the headphones. Too bad it made things worse. Now my computer no longer registers that anything is plugged into the headphone jack. 
    I found a few other fixes on this website that suggested to redownload the audio drivers. However, I cannot find drivers that match both my Notebook model AND O.S.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6832tx Influx Special Edition Entertainment Notebook and run Windows 7. 
    How important is is that I have audio drivers for my specific model? Should I only worry about the O.S the drivers are designed for? 
    All help is greatly appreciated. 
    Happy New Year! May this year be filled with many more memorable moments and spurts of laughter for you.

  • HD Replacement for HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hello.
    I have a HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC , Product Number:   XL303AV
    I am having SMART HD monitor failure mensage at startup and the computer is very slow.
    I just bought a OCZ Vertex V3 SSD 256mb and i want to create a recovery media but the recovery media creation in my computer is not working.
    I did a backup of my files and a complete recovery from the F11 at startup.
    The Notebook is runnig good, but the SMART screen reporting failure keeps appearing and windows is poping up HD failure alert.
    The recovery media creation keeps not working (32GB USB drive), the formating step do not end never. I already tryied with another USB pendrive and no sucess.
    The recovery partition is there. How to create a recovery media for my new SSD HD ?
    Other problem:
    I tryied to order the recovery media at HP site but i have a USA buyed notebook and i live in Brazil, and it is impossible to order that for shipping to Brazil (stupid). HP Brazil do not recognize my serial and produt number, sending me to USA site.
    My windows 7 is the 64bits Home Premium.
    Help me
    Regards
    Cristiano

    Hi,
    If the impending failure alert from the HD SMART is popping up, then creating USB  from the original hard disk at this point is not likely to be successful.
    You can try copying the recovery partition to an external drive in order to keep it.  Use the OCZTechnology forum as a source for how to initially setup the SSD drive. I have a Vertex 3 SSD in this particular desktop PC and I love the performance it provides.
    What was the size of the original hard disk?
    I highly recommend that you use the Porutgese language HP Consumer support forum if you are familiar with the language. There are experts there who are quite likely to be familiar with the problem you are facing with in acquiring the recovery disk set.  I met some of them last March in San Francisco at the HP Social Summit.
    All you need to do to access the Portugese language HP Global forum is change the language tab at the upper right where it says English to Portugese.

  • Need a Recovery CD for HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, want to purchase the cd from south america

    Hi there:
    I accidentally deleted all partitions from my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 hard disk, I need the recovery disk, where can I purchase and download it?

    If you know someone in the USA... order the discs or have them order the discs and send to their address. Once they receive the discs, have them mail the disc set to you in Venezuela.
    Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the bottom the computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. Using this method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.

  • Installing SSD in customized HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Edition Notebook

    I have a customized dv6t-7000 entertainment notebook and I would like to install an SSD to boot the OS.  According to the manual, or at least from vague pictures in the manual, the SSD installs directly to the motherboard.  It doesn't specify what type of SSDs the available replacement parts are and I can't view the specifics on the HP parts replacement website either.  I am wondering what type of SSDs are compatible with the port in the laptop, is it for mSATA (SATA II or III) or for 2.5" SSDs.  I don't know too much about SSDs, but I want to be able to find a compatible part.  I currently use the optical drive, so I don't want to switch it out for a hard drive chasis.  I understand that method would use a 2.5" SSD.   If anyone can clarify what type of port is in the laptop and what SSDs are compatible, that would be awesome!
    This question was solved.

    Here is the Service Manual which will be helpful:
    Manual
    If your laptop is an Intel model then you have an mSSD slot which looks like a wireless slot. 
    See Page 71. Unfortunately the mSSD slot is a bear to access. If taking the laptop almost all the way apart is something you can do, then an mSSD is in the cards for you. If not, I strongly suggest simply replacing the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD drive. Even if you can get the mSSD installed, configuring the system to boot from the mSSD is also very hard if you also want to have a regular hard drive for storage. It is easier to apply the mSSD as an acceleration cache drive, making the main hard drive perform more like an SSD.

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    In answer to your questions about the WLAN adapter and how to order a replacement, take a look at the attached serivce manual for the notebook family. HP Pavilion dv8 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
    On page 51 of 148, or if you prefer page 4-17, the section on the WLAN adapter starts and shows the supported part numbers, as well as the replacement procedure.
