Hp dv5-1040ew hdd replacement. suggestions

My hard drive went out on my laptop couple days ago and now i'm wondering what would be the best hard drive for it. I was curious whether it is possible to get a sata II ssd but couldn't find right info about that.

Hi:
You can get up to a 500 GB 2.5" SATA II notebook hard drive.
5,400 RPM if you want longer battery time between charges
7,200 RPM if you want more performance.
Below is the link to the service manual for your PC.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01550108.pdf
Hard drive removal and replacement procedures can be found in chapter 4. You can do it yourself.
Just save the old hard drive because you need to take some things off of it (caddy and screws), and transfer them to the new hard drive.
If you live in the USA or Canada, you can order notebook hard drives at reasonable prices from this vendor.

The 7,200 RPM drive I recommend is this performance one.

Apple HDD replacement program Q's

Hi guys, sorry if my questions are quite trivial but I'm afraid of messing something up that will require multiple Apple store trips and or money. Long story short I finally decided I'm going to take my iMac to my nearest Apple store to be serviced under the HDD replacement program announced last year.
But I have a few questions about the whole process and how to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.
1- I undesrtand I have to have a Time Machine back up or HDD Clone. Some people here actually recommend not to use the latest Time Machine back up, But instead doing so from a HDD Clone. Why?
2- I know I'll be erasing the old Drive before taking the iMac for service, what's the best way to do this?
3- Do I need to take my after market bought RAM before taking the Computer for service?
4- For those of you who have already gotten their machines serviced: do they return it with Mountain Lion already installed on it?
5- After getting the machine what will it be the best option, Use Set Up Assistant or Migration Assistant, and will I get accest to that by booting up while holding
the "C" key?

1. My preference is to use a clone. I made a fresh clone; the tech replaced the hard drive; we booted from the clone and cloned the system back - very fast process and your machine will be in the exact same state as it was before.
2. Boot from your new clone (or your install disk) and use Disk Utility to erase your drive (you can't erase the drive you're booted from).
3. No.
4. I had mine done at my home (compliments of Applecare) and instructed the tech to use one of my clones. I've heard differing reports - some say ML was installed, others said that they got it back with the original system. If you have a clone, it does not matter what they install - simply boot from the clone when you get it back, erase the drive, and clone your system back.
5. If you use the clone method, no Migration Assistant is needed.
Edit: If you have a clone on an external drive, you simply plug in the drive, hold the Option key at boot up and choose the clone to boot from. From there, launch CarbonCopyCloner and clone your system back.

UCCX Server HDD replacement

Hi all,
I have Cisco MCS-7845-H2 Server running UCCX 8.0, and now one of the HDD failed and red light on.
I bought the new HDD-7845-H2-146= from Cisco and want to replace it, please advise any procedure prior to remove it and insert the new one, according to Cisco website the Server HDD are in RAID 1 configuration, or I can just pull it out and change it online as it suppose to be HOTPLUG.
Thanks in advanced!

The server is running UCCX 8.0 and supporting the call center IP phone system, not able to power down for HDD replacement, anyway when I look at the server again and seen like the fault light went off by itself and the HDD back to normal operation.
Will monitor closely to see whether the HDD fault come back again.
Thanks for your help

MacBook Pro 2011 / HDD replace with SSD - power issue

I recently replaced on a MBP 2011 2.5 core5 the 500 MB HDD with a Samsung 850Pro SSD. All went well with regards to cloning throught the apple disk utility.
But i noticed the MBP seems to "burn" more power, meaning the battery life is reduced. It is not clear to me why replace the HDD by the SSD means a shorter battery life. Is there a compability issue with the http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7KE1T0BW ?
Any suggestions ?

Sorry, but you typed, "My 2014 model macbook pro 's logic board got damaged."
Apple does not accept trade-ins. You can try selling it on eBay or Craigslist or sell it for cash to companies like Gazelle.com. Then buy a newer model with the proceeds plus added cash, if required.

How to restore a TM backup after HDD replacement?

Hi everybody,
The HDD in my Macbook pro failed, and I am replacing it
MBP July 2011; HDD 500GB 7200 rpm; Mountain Lion.
I have recent Time Machine backups. Now what´s the proper way to restore the backup.
Should I boot up with the not yet formatted new HD and with the TM disk connected
using some key combo?
Or should I boot from the Mountain Lion Install CD and then be able to
format and select the backup drive?
Thanks for reading!
Rob

Thanks Eric,
After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers, Rob

Why keyboard light doesn't work after HDD replacement?

Hello,
I upgradet my MBP with Momentus TX 750 and now my keyboard light doens't work.
What can I do to fix it?
Best Regards
Pawel

@kiki1871: This would be the last option I would take. I cloned the HDD before replacing it to avoid the whole OSX installation & backup procedure. I wonder if I could download the driver and install it now. Any hint wherefrom I can get it?
Best Regards
Pawel

Reinstall from time machine after hdd replacement

Hi all
I have just upgraded my hdd n my mac book pro and just before removing the old hdd I let time machine run
After replacing the hdd I booted up the machine with a lion bootable DVD and then created a new Parton on the new hdd using disk utility
On running the lion installer I was able to choose the option to restore from time machine backup but the most recent backp it could find was one from august last year and not today which is what I expected
I now have the machine Running with the new hdd but I am missing all files etc between the state restored by tm and today
How do I get the machine back to the state it was before I removed the old hdd?
Thanks in advance
Simon

Had you ever erased the disk, or done a full restore previously? If so, the older backups are treated as if they wer on a different drive. Try a full system restore, and see if there are two disks listed in the "pop-up" Restore from menu per step (g) in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14. If so, each should have a different set of dates.

HDD replaced with SSDHDD & Drive Self Test failed hardware scan by LSC

Hello! Happy new year!
I bought a new SDDHDD instead of the HDD that came with the laptop when I bought it because it was faulty.
I want to make sure that the new drive isn't faulty when running the hardware scan using Lenovo Solution Center (LSC), I got this result code: WHD01V000-HK9V1D - Warning for the SMART Drive Self Test. However I tried testing using HD Sentinel and SeaTools but they showed no errors.
Note: I'm taking LSC seriously because it showed warnings then critical alerts before my first HDD failed so I don't want to ignore it.
Please let me know what it means and if I should worry or how to fix the problem? Or does it simply not support SDD?
Thanks for reading this long message! (Sorry)

Hi, quocphong
It sounds like the hard drive is running okay overall, but it has some bad sectors in it. You will not be able to read or write to these sectors. That being said, I would first try running a ChkDsk on the hard drive and see if any of the sectors can be repaired. To run a ChkDsk, go to Computer and right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Navigate to the Tools tab and select the box that says Check now... This should scan the drive for errors and attempt to fix them if possible. The test can take a while, so I would do it when you will not need access to your computer.
If the test is not able to fix the errors, then I would contact Lenovo at 120-11072 (Toll Free) or +(84) 8 3521 8000 (Standard Charges Apply) and discuss a hard drive replacement with them. As for Windows, you will need to ask for recovery discs as well. Lastly, I would backup everything on the current hard drive so that it is not lost.
Hope it helps,
Adam

How could I restore everything in Firefox having new hdd replaced and Windows reinstalled?

Due to some reasons (possibly boot sector problems/virus infection) my laptop (running Windows XP Pro) failed to boot up last week. I've replaced a new hdd and just have Windows reinstalled.
The old hdd is in place and data on it is still accessible.
Version of Firefox was 3.6.4 (continuously upgraded from 3.0 beta 2), with all defaults installed on the old hdd.
Is it possible to restore everything (bookmarks, addons, history, preferences etc) in Firefox on the new hdd by copying files/folders from the old one? And what files/folders in specific?
Thank you so much for help in advance.

I was using another PC to post the question, please disregard the firefox version and plugins information above.

How to backup after HDD replacement

I am planning to replace my internal HDD from my MBP 15.4" 2.4Ghz. I would like to use my Time Machine backup to restore the system to my laptop. What are the steps I should take once I have formatted the new internal HDD?

Correct. I did this about a month ago and was impressed with how clear and easy the instructions were.
I should add: It is a good idea to have a second backup in case your TM drive fails. I know it seems unlikely but I read a thread here just today about how somebody's main drive and backup drive died within hours of each other and he lost a lot of data that wasn't on his third backup.

Reconnect to TM backup after HDD replacement?

I have just got my iMac back after a warranty repair that included a replacement of the HDD. They migrated all of my applications and data from the old HDD to the new one and everything seems to be fine. However, TM wants to doesn't recognise the existing backup file and wants to do a full "first time" backup (which is a problem anyway as there isn't sufficient space on my Time Capsule).
Does anyone know whether it is possible / how to get TM to recognise the existing backup as relating to this machine?
I just worried about deleting the existing backup only to discover there is a file missing that I might have been able to restore from the "old" TM backup.
Thanks, Brian

TM knows it's the same Mac; the problem is, it isn't the same internal HD. And no, there's no practical way to fool it into thinking it is.
If your TC isn't well over twice the size of the data on your internal HD, your only choices are to erase the TC's internal HD, or get another external HD.
You can connect a USB drive to your Time Capsule and back up to it (it will be a new backup; the old one can't be "continued" onto a different drive); or you can "archive" the TC's current contents to it, then erase the TC's internal HD and let Time Machine start over.
See the green box in #Q3 of the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Capsule+ forum, for instructions on doing the "archive".

Messages not working since HDD replacement

Hello! So my MBPr stopped booting a week ago and I had to have both fans, the motherboard, HDD, and back plate replaced. That's done, everything works now except Messages. I rely on messages to communicate with my team and my family, so this is a bit of an issue. I've wandered the forums and tried many of the steps (restart, deleting plists, resetting PRAM, resetting/repairing keychain, confirming font availability, etc). But to no avail. When I click on the icon for Messages, it bounces in the dock, the dot indicates it is started, but the window does not appear. If I wait perhaps 10 seconds and click it again, the window appears but is blank. I cannot select anything from the menu (no preferences or anything) and no conversations or login prompts appear. Please help!

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

SSD in a DV5-1140ez in replacement of DVD drive?

Hi there.
I have a DV5-1140ez (P8400 with 9600M) and I was wondering if would be possible to replace my DVD player by a SSD.
In which case, what is the connection required and how should I make it fit and hold.
Any ideas? Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hey Ray,
That is possible to do. Here is a link I found from a quick Google search that replaces the CD bay with a SSD caddy. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/CdbQo
This is just the first link I found, you may want to search around to find the best price.
Hope this helps!
