  • Additional SSD for HP EliteBook Folio 9480m

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add extra SSD in HP EliteBook Folio 9480m? If yes, which type of SSD will be fit?
    ///Wutt

    Here is the Service Manual:
    Manual
    See page 40 and 41. There is only room for one full-sized 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD. It can also hold an M.2 mSATA mSSD which can be used as an acceleration cache drive or as a boot/OS drive. If you look at page 1 of the Manual you can also see that an mSSD is not available if you have a Self-encrypting drive. So, for us to give advice we need to know what you have because that will determine what else you can add or how else your storage can be configured. You have a very complicated and flexible computer.

  • Elitebook Folio 9480m display cable for display upgrade

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade my screen panel from HD to HD+ resolution. According to HP technical support this schould be possible by just replacing the panel. So I ordered a replacement in the higher resolution and it does not work. Backlight is on, but no picture shown. The replacement is a N140FGE-LA2. it replaces an N140BGE-LA3. Both are from Chimei Innolux.
    Of course the higher resolution HD+ panel requires a 2 channel 6 bit LVDS, while the HD panel is 1 channel. So I need a cable that has all pins 40 pins connected. I also checked the display cable I have already in my machine and it seems that it is not fully connected.
    With the previous model the 9470m there were two separate cables in the antenna kit for the different resulutions (part number 702876-001). The antenna kit for the 9480m does not mention this. Also HP technical support told me that the cable I have should work, but I have my doubts now.
    Does anybody know where to get a suitable cable. This cable actually combines the display signals and the webcam connection. The following information would help me.
    - What part number of HP would contain the spare part cable for the HD+ panel in the 9480m?
    - Can I use the HD+ cable of the antenna kit from the 9470m also in the 9480m? They look very similar.
    - Is there any aftermarket possibility to get to the right cable? Any part number for that would be great.
    Also Interesting:
    - What is the actually manufacturer and model of the panel used in the 9480m HD+ model? If somebody who has that a HD+ 9480m could have a look inside, this would be great information to double-check if the replacement panel type is actually ok.
    best regards, Jörg

    Hi again,
    I did some investigations regarding the display cables used.
    6017B0391001 is the HD cable (1 Channel, 6bit LVDS) used in the Elitebook 9470m
    6017B0427401 is the HD+ cable (2 Channel, 6bit LVDS) used in the Elitebook 9470m
    6017B0507401 is the diaplay cable for the Elitebook 9480m (this is the cable used in my machine)
    The cable used in the 9480m looks like that not all pins are connected. Is it a 1 Channel cable? Would that mean that also the HD+ display used is a 1 Channel display? This would be strange in my opinion.
    I guess I try the HD+ cable from the 9470m with the panel I odered and see if it works.
    It would be really great if somebody owning an Elitebook 9480m with HD+ (1600x900) display could check what exact manufacturer and model HP uses.
    Any thoughts on this would be really helpful.
    best regards, Jörg

  • Elitebook Folio 9470m - how to create recovery USB in preinstalled Win7?

    Hi, this will be my first post here, so please be gentle
    I have a new, pretty HP Elitebook Folio 9470m for testing - it came with preinstalled Windows 7 OS. I wanted to check some things, play around with it and as a cautious user I wanted to create a recovery media first. I have a 65GB flash drive which I've previously used as a recovery media for other notebooks and (as this model doesn't have a CD/DVD drive) I wanted to use it this time as well.
    First I searched the web to find out how to create a recovery USB for this laptop but HP website gave me the info to use Recovery Manager which I don't have installed on this notebook - when I search for "recovery" I get something like "Create HP recovery CD". And when I try to use this I get an error regarding no writable media (even thou the flash drive is connected).
    I stumbled upon a tip to F11 the laptop before boot, but I don't get the Recovery Manager either.
    Should I download it and install from somewhere or is there another way to create the recovery stick for this notebook?
    This question was solved.

    Hi Neith,
    You can use the HP Recovery Flash Disk utility for Windows 7.  There is more information about the utility on this HP web document.

    my hp elitebook 6930p shows BIOS error on starting

    Hi:
    Yes you can get any version of W7 that the product key on your notebook is good for at the link below.
    Use the applicable SP1 Media Refresh ISO file as they are the latest ones.
    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
    After you download the ISO file make sure you got the whole advertised file size.
    Then use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or DVD.
    The tool will also make the media bootable.

  • HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook - Flash Cache - Flash Cache

    I'm trying to deploy Windows 7 x86 SP1 to an HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook with Flash Cache.
    I'm using MDT 2010 U1 and running the deployment from USB-media.
    Reading the BDD.LOG I can see: "LTI applying image G:\Deploy\Operating Systems\W7 x86 Ent 007\7.wim using SETUP.EXE" and after 18 min  "Setup completed successfully." and "LTIApply processing completed successfully." After LTICopyscripts, ZTIConfigure,
    ZTIDrivers and ZTINextPhase the computer reboots and I'm getting "Windows boot manager 0xc000000f An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data".
    When I'm looking at the Boot Config with BCDEDIT.EXE I can see boot manager points at the Flash Cache installed in the machine:
    HarddiskVolume3 is the Flash Cache (output from diskpart, list vol):
    I've tried to read setupact.log but can't find whats going wrong.
    How to handle computers with Flash Cache in deployment with MDT?

    Machines with more than one physical disk are difficult to deploy to arbitrary disks using technologies like MDT and/or SCCM OSD.
    By default you can configure MDT and/or OSD to deploy a task sequence to a specific disk index like Disk(0), but trying to add intelligence to change the target disk is non trivial.
    For MDT litetouch you can write a script to change the target disk during the task sequence execution by modifying the OSDDiskIndex variable. So in this example, you could create a script to select the first disk that is larger than 50GB.
    Otherwise you are left to deploy to the 1st disk enumerated by the system, which in this case can be the ssd cache disk.
    I have written a utility to help modify the OSDDiskIndex using a script.
    http://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/ztiselectbootdisk-wsf/
    In the example above I would add the script just before the "format and partition" step in the TAsk sequence. Set a WMI condition for the model of the HP, then add the following to the CS.ini:
    [Settings]
    Properties=OSBootDiskOverrideWQL
    [default]
    OSBootDiskOverrideWQL = WHERE Size < 53687091200 and InterfaceType = 'IDE' and MediaType != 'Removable Media'

  • HP Elitebook 755 G2 BIOS Update from local media not starting

    Hi All, I'm having a really annoying issue with these Elitebooks and need some help. We are trying to update the BIOS manually via USB. I have the EFI and Signature file in the location: Hewlett-Packard\BIOSUpdate and I have the BIN file located in: Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\New Now this is exactly where the BIOS is telling me to put these files on the USB. However whenever I click the accept button to start the update, it will freeze for a few seconds before returning to the main menu. The directory is right, and I've formatted the USB to FAT32 so that isn't an issue. I'm struggling to understand why it can't start the process. The USB is detected because you can see it when you go to select a method to boot from. Thanks,Josh

    There is no need to change the boot mode to legacy.  Your description tells me that you must be in a business environment.  I do find it interesting that your encryption causes issues with booting into Windows.  I have no offhand idea as to what METech software is.  Why not just remove the original hard disk temporarily and replace it with a hard disk that has a vanilla  Windows OS on it? That will take the encrytion issue out of the equation. Once you have updated the BIOS you can put the original disk back in place. If you have numerous notebooks to update doing it this way should simplify things for you.  After all, BIOS is firmware on a chip, not software on a hard disk.

  • Elitebook 8440p battery / bios problem

    I have an Elitebook 8440p and had ~2 hours of battery life on a full charge.  Updated to the f.22 bios, rebooted and immediately lost half of my battery capacity.  A full charge now nets me about 50 minutes. It also fails the bios battery test.  Reverted back to f.21 but didn't fix the problem.  It's not an OS problem as Linux reports the same low capacity and indicates battery problems.  Any suggestions?

    Hello JLewter,
    You’re having a problem with the battery not holding a charge.
    You might try to calibrate the battery.
    Here is a link to calibrate the battery.
    I know everything was working fine before the update, but if the battery is failing the test, you might have to replace the battery.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • EliteBook 2170p: resetting BIOS administrator password

    I purchased a used notebook from ebay and installed Windows 7 on it. I am able to use it just fine. But the BIOS is protected with an administrator password which I can't figure out how to clear. I've tried resetting/reinitting the TPM but that didn't help. Would it reset if I pulled the RTC battery per the service manual? I don't want to open up the laptopand remove parts unless I know this might work. The only reason I would like to reset it is because the Bluetooth is disabled in the BIOS for some reason. thanks is advance!!!

  • Elitebook Folio 1040 G1 - LAN/WLAN Switching

    Good day, We are currently receiving reports from our Folio 1040 G1 users regarding Freeze / WLAN / LAN issues.As you probably know, the Folio 1040 G1 has an external adapter that provides LAN and VGA ports.All of our laptops have WLAN/LAN Swicthing enabled. We tried different scenarios and were able to reproduce the problem:- Laptop has wireless button off and is shut down. External LAN/VGA Adapter is disconnected.- The laptop is started. External LAN/VGA Adapter is still disconnected. The wireless button is white (ON). No wireless network appear in the list (altough we have wireless networks available). When opening  HP Connection Manager the WLAN status is "Disabled by LAN/WLAN switching". To solve this issue we can do 2 things:- Connect the external LAN/VGA adapter - This enables the wireless adapter and the users can connect to a wireless network. When the external LAN/VGA adapter is connected the computer stay freeze 50% of the times until we connect a network cable to the LAN port.- Disable WLAN/LAN Switching on the BIOS - The issue doesn't appear but users stay connected to wireless and wired networks. We don't want this to happen. We are using W7 Pro/Ent x64.Bios version is 1.32Drivers are the latest versions available from Softpaq. A similar problem existed with the 840 G1 but found to be a driver version issue. The same solution didn't help in the Folio 1040G1. Can anyone reproduce the issue ?Any guidance / opinions ? Best regards,Carlos

    Hi: What model wireless card does your notebook have? it needs an Intel wifi card that support widi. I used this tool to enable screen mirroring.  It will download and install all the components needed if your notebook meets all of the specs. http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/wireless/wireless-display
