I have replaced the CMOS battery and changed the CMOS jumper but nothing has worked. Can anyone provide the original BIOS file so I can try and re-flash it?
Or does anyone have any other suggestion?

Enter BIOS by tapping away at the F10 key immediately after powering on. Is all system info complete there?

How to know which hard drive contains the OS in Hp Pavilion dv7-4069wm? Upgrading.

I'm thinking about upgrading one of my hard drives (320GB ea) in my HP Pavilion dv7-4069wm laptop for more storage. I would like to keep the drive that contains the OS to avoid the hassle of making a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I haven't replaced a hard drive before, let alone a dual drive. I recently added more RAM and noticed both hard drives looked the same. Can anyone tell me how to know the difference? .

Hi,

How to add a 2nd hard drive to HP Pavilion DV7!

How to add a 2nd hard drive to HP Pavilion DV7-3165DX, product # WA794UA or WA794UAR.
(1) Order HDD, hard drive, hardware kit. HDD hardware kit includes mounting rails, static shield, screws, rubber isolators, and SATA to motherboard cable. Check your model & Product # for compatibility.
HP Parts HDD hardware kit 517639-001 for DV7-3165DX product# WA794UA and WA794UAR.
(2) Consult Drives - Windows 7 PDF, table of contents, 7 Replacing a drive in the secondary hard drive bay. This will show you how to install a 2nd HDD in a HP DV7.
Drives - Windows 7 PDF
(3) In Windows 7 select Computer, Select the HDD installed, Format (if not already formatted).
(4) If HDD does not show up in Windows 7 under Computer, go to Start (Menu), Search Programs and Files, enter "Computer Management", select Storage, Disk Management (Local), look for the Bay 2 HDD (should show up as Disc 1, Bay 1 HDD should show as Disc 0), Format the 2nd HDD (The one you just installed).
Update: I have the 2nd HDD (WD 1TB) installed, Windows now recognises it after completing the steps I mentioned in step 4, Format with default allocation NTFS 931.51GB free, 118MB used for formatting. Format with default allocation exFAT 931.51GB free, 1MB used for formatting. I selected NTFS format to reduce file fragmenting.
This question was solved.

When i added my 2nd HDD I was ready to get it ordered and shipped, so it would arrive before I arrived home. I also was not sure if it would be offered anywhere else and be 100% compatible. The quality of the factory HP part is good. Since then I found a cheeper source. Newmodeus DV7-3xxx Hard Drive Caddy $27.95 +tax +shipping. Not sure if the quality is the same. If this helps you, post your results and kudos.

My Pavilion dv7-6175 only has 1.5GB free in my Recovery (D) drive. How can I get it clear and freed?

After Microsoft connected me with their tech assistant who did a remote assisted check on something, he told me I had corrupted files and that for $299 he could fix it. I don't know what he did, but I didn't go along with that and did a recovery to put my laptop where it was before the call. My laptop was 3 days old and I doubt it came "corrupted" from Office Max or HP. Consequently, I only have 1.5 GB free of 14.3. How can I get back the GB lost in case I ever need it again? If I click on it, a HP icon comes up and it says "do not delete or alter any of these files." I have the Pavilion dv7 6175, Windows 7 64 bit,
Intel cor i5 laptop.

You won't need the 1.5GB space on the resovery partition. Almost full is a norm with the recover partition. It is a partition that you must not save anything to as it serves only one purpose. Save to the Data or C: drive or an external disk.If you save to the partition then you will lose the F11 keystoke allowing you to access the Recovery Manager on powerup in case of an emergency.
My loaner HP dv7-4180ea has a recovery partition of 21.5GB and has 3.15 GB free.
The one thing you do need to make sure of is that backups are not saved to that partition.
Have you created Recovery media? It is wise to do that.

How do I enable TPM in the bios on Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

Hi,
I have run into a problem trying to enable MS Bitlocker on Windows 8.1 on
Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
BIOS version is: F.1C
In the Windows UI, the TPM (Trusted Computing Module) management console says that I need to enable TPM in the BIOS.
Issue:
There does not appear to be any proverbial "on" switch in the BIOS for TPM versions 1.2 (or 2).
Question:
Anyone out there know how to resolve this?
I know there may be a way to get around this using group policy on the machine or to buy a USB key solution.
Looking for the hardware solution in the laptop if possible please.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi:
As far as I am aware, HP consumer notebooks do not have a Trusted Platform Module chip.
Check the device manager...if there is a TPM chip, there will be a Security Devices category in the device manager, and you would see the TPM chip listed under that category.
If not, then there isn't one.

Pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem?

My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy. There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country. This was intended to prevent piracy.

HP Pavilion dv7 notebook, Windows 7: How do I disable an audio jack?

My Pavilion dv7 notebook includes two audio jacks for headphones on its right side (my left when facing it.) Long story short, a hefty piece of an iPod headphone has dislodged and been stuck inside one of these two jacks; there's no way I'd be able to remove it without taking apart the notebook. I can still receive audio via headphones when I plug headphones into the other jack, but I can no longer receive audio from the internal speakers.
I'd like to diasble both headphone jacks manually when I'd like to hear the speakers -- but I can't figure out how. When I access my 'Speakers and Headphones Properties' (IDT High Definition Audio Codec, through Sounds --> Playback Devices) and attempt to disable the device, all sound is disabled. There appears to be no way to selectively disable either just the speakers or just the headphones.
Any ideas?

...I'm still curious as to whether I can receive any assistance regarding this issue.

HP Pavilion dv7-3069wm touch controls not working

Above the keyboard, next to the power button there was a lit up mute, volume control, and wireless control. At one point the wireless and mute button stayed amber until I did a hard reset. Now they are completely gone. The volume control and DVD controls are lit up white, but don't work. The Quick Launch icon is also gone.
The HP Quick Launch software has been update, but still nothing. I've installed the latest BIOS, but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The laptop is out of warranty.

I have a diferent problem but its also with a Pavilion dv7-3079wm. I bought it in february 9 of 2010 and today when i check the warranty i discovered that was allready finished.
When i have like an hour or hour and a half using the internet or word or just listen music, suddenly the laptop stop working and the image on the screen gets frozen. Anything works and i have to shut down by the power button.
It takes like 15 minutes to restart again.
But if i just started to use it and open a videogame (age of empires) or a program which needs more graphic memory (archicad 12) the computer stop working at 5 minutes.
Does anyone have the same problem??? Someone told me that the video card its damaged on this models, it's that true???

How To Turn Off Logo Light on Pavilion dv7

How do I turn off the unnecessary, battery draining, logo light on the lid of the Pavilion dv7?

Press F10 when you see the HP logo when the notebook is first powered on, then you'll enter the BIOS and have the ability to disable it.

How can I replace ADM Radeon HD 3450 card in Pavilion dv7

In my HP Pavilion dv7 1110 ed is installed ADM mobility Radeon HD 3450 videographic card.
since 2 weeks ago i got all of a sudden a black screen.
When i looked over in google i find out that the most predictable problem must be at the chip on this video card.
So what i want to know is who can show me how i could replace this videocard from my laptop and what kind of better video card should i assemble.??

You're very welcome, John.
I agree that most of us would not want to do that complex job ourselves.
My advice would be to purchase a new notebook at this point because even if an expert works on it, if they don't do it for free, it will cost a lot of $$ to repair.
I only use HP business notebooks, so I am not familiar with consumer models -- which one of those to recommend to you.
A low end business notebook with a 17" screen would be the HP ProBook 4740s.

And here is a review...

My newest business notebook I own is a HP Elitebook 6930p (which has the same video as the one that died on yours).
You have a great weekend too!

How do I disassemble my HP pavilion dv7?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this (I'm a noob here) so if it's wrong could someone please re-direct me?
I have an HP pavilion dv7 with windows 7. The model number is dv7-3065dx
All I want to do is open it up, dust it, and change something, which I can do myself but I can't open the computer up and I'm afraid I'm going to break it. This is the older black one, NOT the newer silver one, which is the only thing I can find good directions for on google. So I gave up and decided to just try this since it seamed to show up a lot. I'de like to avoid videos all I can which is why I didn't go to youtube.
Any help is apreciated, sorry for my being a totally annoying noob

How to get rid ofonstant clicking sound on my pavilion dv7 ?

I get rid of the constant clicking sound on my Pavilion dv7 ?

Can you explain more on the "clicking" noise you are hearing? If you mute the computer do you still hear it? It is from the speakers or from the inside of the laptop?
Thanks,
Sean
