HP ENVY 17T - J100 I NED TO REPLACE THE MAIN HDD TO SSD

I was just wanting to confirm that with the HP ENVY 17T J100 model can upgrade it's HDD to SSD? This model has the 1TB HDD. If I simply clone the HDD to an SSD of the same size.  will it work? Or is there more complex setup to get the raid working between SSD/SSD rather than SSD/HDD?
 also i try with 120 ssd and it didnt work. if i change the main 1 TB HDD to 1 tb SSd can i use the recovery disks to return all the windows as factory with the SSD or not and why if not
Thanks for your time!

Hi @sherifmadkour
I understand you are looking at replacing your HDDs in your notebook with SSDs. I can help you with your question.
Please see the following for your notebook family which shows the supported components.
HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC Maintenan...
You can find the drive list in the product description section,  and also under the Hard Drive list, in Component replacement procedures.
Anything outside of that list would not have been tested with the other hardware, and so is unexplored territory. It is one of those things where if a device has different current requirements, it can put strain on the other hardware or an issue of driver compatibility.

  • Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC Graphics Card Upgrade

    I bought the Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC a while back and i was wondering if i could upgrade the graphics card on it. When you buy the laptop if gives you an option, you can either buy the Intel Deticated Graphics or the Nvidia Geforce GT 740 and i decided to buy the Nvidia GT 740 because i heard the integrated graphics were not that good for playing games. So i was wondering if i could somehow take out the NVidia Geforce GT 740 and replace with a better graphics card, Would that be possible?
    Thanks

    Sorry; no dice. The video card is soldered to the motherboard. The point-of-sale options are for laptops with different motherboards. Buying a laptop is like buying a house: think about what you need now and in the future because they are not easy to change.

  • Would like to upgrade WLAN on HP Envy 17t-j100 Quad

    Sorry if this is a repeat question.  Can I upgrade the wireless LAN card for this laptop to support 5Ghz standard?  Even though this is a b/g/n card, it wil not recognize the 5Ghz band from my Netgear AC1450...it's obviously not dual band.
    it came with the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter.  Great laptop so far but this issue is a bit disappointing.
    if it is upradeable, what does HP offer that is compatible.
    HP Envy 17t-j100 Quad 

    Hi:
    Yes, the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn is only a single band (2.4 GHz) wireless N card.
    It appears that HP has removed the BIOS whitelist on these newer models so you should be able to install any wireless card you want in that model.
    Chapter 3 of the service manual lists the cards that HP supports with the part numbers.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04091762.pdf
    I would make sure your current card has 2 antenna leads attached to it.
    I have heard on some models, (not necessarily yours) that on some of those low end cards, there is only 1 antenna in the PC.
    That could be a problem (unless you don't mind tearing the whole notebook and display apart to add the additional antenna).

  • How to find and replace the main logic board on HP4600N Laser Printer.

    Can anyone let me know how to replace the main logic board on my HP Laser 4600 N.  My printer was freezing up and in calling customer service, they informed me that the main logic board is going bad.  Now I have the part but no instructions on how to replace or where to find it on the printer. 

    A Google search may turn up a downloadable service manual for the Laserjet 4600.

    I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore  should be very smooth.

  • How do I replace the main SATA HD in my macbook pro 9,2 with an SSD?

    Can anyone direct me to photo directions for replacing the main HD in my macbookpro? Do I need a caddy to install a 2.5 SSD? I am not trying to replace the superdrive, so those caddies are not what I am looking for. CAn I just install the SSD in the same space left for the main SATA drive without using any adapter?

    You can install the SSD in the same bay as your current HDD. You don't need a caddy.
    Here's a link on iFixit.com with pictures of how to replace the HDD on a Macbook Pro. Same instructions apply when replacing the HDD with an SSD. I recently replaced a 320GB HDD in my early-2011 13" MBP with an SSD. Very easy to do.

  • Problems after Replacing the Main Logic Board in E280R

    Hi
    I have just replaced the main logic board and FCal Disk Back plane in one of our E280Rs and now we cannot get any out put to a console (or to RSC card). So cannot get to the OK prompt or any diagonistic output. There are no errors according to the system lights although the RSC card is reporting faulty internal disks. Whether the disks or working or not we still should be be getting at least to the OK prompt.
    The main logic board has the same part number as the one we replaced and we swapped the old SEEPROM chip to the new main Logic board
    Any Suggestions greatfully received
    Thanks
    Rob

    LowLuster is correct.
    If Apple techs are talking about replacing the logic board, the costs of doing so is over half the cost of a newer IMac.
    You maybe better off, if it is financially possible for you, to purchase a new or "newer" used or refurbished iMac.

  • HP Envy 17t-j100 Distance between USB Slots suggestion

    I intended this post as a recommandation for HP. 
    I have an HP Envy Touchsmart 17t-j100 and everything is excelent up until now.
    The only thing that is very annoying is the distance between USB ports. PLEASE increase the distance between USB ports for the future models. I have a lot of problems tryng to connect everything I need.
    Even if I try to open the DVD drive, it will stuck in my USB device. I mean how much difficult is to put a distance of 1 cm between them? 
    If the USB cables are the standard size, there are no problems but most of the USB devices nowadays are much more wider than a standard USB cable and I keep having problems.
    I mean it's a 17" laptop, there is plenty of space on the sides. In the end, it's better to drop the DVD drive and put a VGA slot instead, but with bigger distance between USB ports.
    I am planning to buy another ENVY in the future but I really want my new laptop to have USB ports with a wider distance bewtween them. 
    Thank you very much and I hope HP will take care of this little problem on the future models.
    Have a nice day.

  • Replacing the Superdrive with an SSD or HD

    I'm thinking of replacing my internal superdrive in my 17" MBP (2.3 i7 early 2011), as I very rarely use it, and could do with more internal portable space...
    Can it be done?
    Does anyone have any links to tips or guides?
    Can anyone recommend specific tools/products I should use?
    Can anyone recommend a casing/caddy that I can put the Superdrive into should I wish to use it externally?
    Are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of? Particularly with communication with the OS...
    Any other comments?
    Thanks!

    Now this is the kinda response I was hoping for!
    Thanks! A few questions...
    Has having the second drive affected battery life at all?
    Have you experienced any compatibility issues with start-up/mounting/unmounting/OS interaction/transfer rates etc?
    Does the SuperDrive still read/write at it's original (or near enough) speed?
    Cheers!
    Since a SSD uses less power then a typical spinning HDD I have not noticed and real decrease in battery life.
    But then I don't use any of my notebooks on battery that much. My MBP is is 5 weeks old and only has 14 charge cycles on it. My new Dell maybe 5-7 which I got about 1 week before I bought the MBP.
    Not sure what you mean by your seconsd question. Are you talking aboth the Superdrive or the second HDD.
    Neither with either.
    I never unmount the HDD in the Superdrive bay. If the Superdrive is connect by USB cable once you eject the disc it unmounts and does not mount until you put a disc in.
    Yes the Superdrive still reads and write the same as far as I can tell. Which IMHO is very SLOW. Even when it was in the case it was slow. Not sure how jyour is but mine was like watching paint dry.
    Tthe only thing you can't do is Boot from it. So if for some reason I need to boot something that is on a CD or DVD I image it and then restore to a USB thumb drive. The one reason I did this is about the only time, in the last 3-4 years, that I use a CD/DVD drive is to make MP3s from music CDs or to burn utilities and info to give to someone.
    As far as burning I haven't done that yet on the Mac so I don't know for sure but I don't think I'd have a problem.

  • Replacing the main fan in a Dell Studio 1558 laptop.

    Looking around online, it seems that my laptop model was doomed to fail, but so far I've encountered no problems besides the annual attempt by Windows 7 to disown my bluetooth module. Anyways, recently I started having serious issues that I tracked down to my RAM going bad. I replaced my old sticks with a new pair from Best Buy, upgrading my memory at the same time, since I went from 4 GB to 8 GB. They've worked just fine so far, but I also bought a pair of air dusters and cleaned out the innards that I could get to with the access panel off the back of my laptop, as well as getting the vents of course. Unfortunately, I doused my fan in a little too much dust when cleaning out the back vent, and now it's making a faint, high pitched whine. I suspect that it's going out, and any attempt at further air duster use makes it cycle between getting a cringingly loud high pitched whine to it, not working at all, or getting back to a soft whine that I can deal with. I know there's not really much choice, even though it's keep my system cool really well now, it has to go before it truly breaks.
    How much would it cost to have Best Buy replace the fan? I bought this laptop through Dell directly back in August of 2010, though with how long it's been, where I got it may not really be a factor anyways. I know the fan is still available, both refurbished from Dell itself, and from various other places. The fan being replaced is the primary thing I need fixed or (more likely) replaced, but it would be nice to have an estimated cost break down of having that done in addition to getting the GPU fan checked (there's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 video card in my laptop) and perhaps the GPU and CPU and so on professionally cleaned off in general, with the heatsinks checked and fresh thermal paste applied, if needed. I know about all that stuff, but I don't know nearly enough to trust myself to do it without screwing it all up. Even getting to the fan in my laptop is just not simple enough for me to be comfortable doing it without any training/experience in laptop maintenance. I need this laptop to last a couple more years, and a little preventative maintenance while it's all apart to get the fan replaced seems like a good idea in order to try and ensure that it does last.

    From what I am reading in your topic you are stating
    -You bought from Dell
    -Do not have a current geek squad protection plan
    The only option here to my knowledge would be this:
    You need to have them to order this part
    https://bestbuy.partsearch.com/Part/Dell/Dell/STUDIO1558/Dell/Dell/W956J/New.aspx
    You need to also pay whatever their repair fee is for this service(it varies) I am unsure as to how much they charge for the repair service itself, but I know virus removal is normally $150-200.

  • I want to replace the 40GB HDD on Satellite M50-130

    I want to replace the hard-disk, since it is becoming unreliable but cannot fnd the specs.
    Can anyone help with the exact specs please?
    Is the drive IDE or SATA?
    Size = 2.5 inch?
    I believe the original size is 40gb, can I replace with any size?
    Is the removal and replacement easy? Are there any instructions please?
    I have a horrid feeling that there may be recovery data for the operating system on a hidden partition in the drive.
    Is that correct? Can that be transferred to a new hard-disk?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    The Satellite M50-130 was delivered with the 2.5" 60GB HDD.
    This HDD supports a rotation speed of 5400rpm and it supports an enhanced IDE (ATA 6) interface.
    So you need an IDE HDD, and not SATA

  • IdeaPad U330 - Replacing the SSHD with an SSD = no bootable device found

    Hi,
    I have the original SSHD (Seagate 500 Gig) with Windows 8 that I would like to replace with :
    Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series (256 Gig) with Windows 8 already installed and running on it.
    When I put the Samsung SSD in my Lenovo Ideapad Ultrabook U330, BIOS tells me there is no bootable device found.
    Can someone please explain this, I am SO desperate T_T
    Thanks,
    David
    DETAILS :
    Both Windows are Windows 8.1 64 bits
    The SSD is working perfectly when placed in my Desktop computer
    I installed Windows 8.1 on the SSD following this tutorial : http://superuser.com/questions/490476/how-can-i-in​stall-windows-8-on-my-hdd-without-the-use-of-a-usb​...
    I did not provide the Windows 8 CD key on for SSD yet (but I have it)
    I have tried rebooting with Safe boot disabled, Legacy settings, disabling Win8 OS optimization...no success
    I have a bootable Windows 8.1 on an external HDD, I can boot on it everywhere...except on the Lenovo Ideapad and I have no clue why the disk is not supported here.
    Usually, on the SSD, I plug the SATA cable but there is also another connector next to it. I noticed the SSHD in the Lenovo laptop didn't have any connector on it. Maybe my SSD requires to be connected using both slots (the SATA one, and the one next to it ?)
    Should I update my BIOS ? Should I reformat the SSD ? Should I go back to the Bios Firm settings ?
    I have been looking at some forum threads, but there doesn't seem to be any clear procedure to cope with this problem... 
    UPDATE :
    From the BIOS, after disabling secure boot, selecting "Legacy" and "Legacy First" in the boot mode section allows me to boot on my USB HDD
    Solved!

    Just use disk management (winkey + x, select disk management). Select the leftmost portion of the disk drive and right click. Select properties. Select volumes. You will see the partition style of the disk that you have selected.

  • 2nd drive in Hp Envy 17t J100 Laptop not detected

    I first upgraded the hard drive that came with the laptop with a 500GB SSD. This went smoothly and the laptop runs without issue with the single SSD drive. I then decided to purchase the additional caddy and put the original provided hard drive back in the laptop in the secondary bay. Right now when I boot up the laptop, the secondary drive is not detected. I checked that the connector is connected properly from the HDD to the laptop. Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

    Did you buy from newmodeus.com? Every now and then you get a bad cable. Also be sure the little zif connector is in there straight and deep. It is not a great design in my opinion and has to be connected just right. If it is not working after that, contact newmode and see if you can get a replacement. 

  • HP Envy 17t-j100 phantom touches on touchscreen

    My touch screen will periodically go crazy with phantom touches at the rate of at least 5 per second. These are at various spots on the screen, but consistently in those same places. They happen so fast it is impossible to move the cursor anywhere else to even do a controlled reboot, let alone disable the touch screen. The only solution is a forced power-off to reboot, which is not all the good for any computer.
    I notice that this most often happens when the lid has been closed for some period of time. When re-opening is when the screen goes crazy. However, it does not happen every time the lid is closed.
    Is there any key sequence that can temporaily disable the touchscreen to at least allow for an orderly reboot?
    I know I have seen this same problem reported elsewhere on the web for HP Envy touchscreens. Does HP have a solution for this yet? Given the nature of when it happens, this sounds like a software (perhaps interrupt handler) problem rather than a problem with the touchscreen itself. If not, how about implementing a key sequence to temporarily turn off the touch screen.

    Hi again mencik,
    Thank you for the quick reply!
    To determine whether or not the issue with your notebook's screen has to do with the hardware or software, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of the operating system. This can be done by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). 
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Installing driver for Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition

    Hi all,
    I wiped the hard drive of my envy, and moved a cloned Windows XP image onto it. On startup, I get a 0x7b (inaccessible boot device - blue screen) error.
    I'm pretty sure it's a hard drive controller error - i've ruled out just about everything else. Trouble is, because I can't yet boot into windows, i can't install the driver.
    The Windows XP image has IDE drivers installed, and the BIOS is (i think) stuck on a RAID configuration.
    The driver I need: Intel Matrix Storage
    It comes with a .inf file, and i've tried to install it (via a recovery environment) by:
    the provided .exe
    command line
    DPisnt
    How can I get this to boot?
    Flash a new BIOS that can switch to IDE mode to match the existing drivers?
    Somehow install the new drivers? (I want to avoid manually setting registry keys if possible)
    Impossible?
    Thanks,
    Albert
