HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC processor upgrade

Hello,
    I've recently purchased a HP Pavilion dm1z 4170us. I've had it for approximately 3 weeks and really enjoyed it. However I've found that the processor isn't really performing at the level i need. I'm currently utilizing the Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2367M CPU @ 1.40GHz. I am wanting to upgrade this but I have little experience in performing such a replacement. So any information I could receive pertaining to this procedure would be greatly helpful. This would include what processor options I have and the steps in replacing it. If you need any more information about the notebook or anything else feel free to ask. This is my first post on this forum so I apologize if I posted to the wrong board. Thanks again for for any help.

Hi,
This is a manual for your laptop:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04162986.pdf
It looks like the CPU is soldered to the motherboard because I can't find any AMD CPU as a spare part and also the motherboards are listed with each processor separately. That means the only option to get a better CPU is to replace the motherboard with the cpu already on it. In my opinion this entire series is a low voltage one and NOT GOOD for gaming. I have searched part number for the best possible motherboard and can't find any. It's going to be extremely expensive anyway.

  • Touchpad irratic behavior that I can no longer control on Pavilion dm1 notebook

    I have Pavilion dm1-4210 notebook with Windows 7.  Touchpad is Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad.  When I first turn computer on, TouchPad usually works fine for maybe an hour or so. Then, all of a sudden the curser takes on a life of its own and refuses to move around the screen as it should.  If I try to move curser UP OR DOWN, the arrow turns into a small vertical rectangle that will not move.  All the rectangle does is reduce the view properties of the screen (reminds me of what you see when using the middle dial on a mouse).  If I try to move curser to the RIGHT OR LEFT, the curser turns into either a little cross with a vertical and a horizontal double arrow, OR a litte diamond symbol with 4 little boxes in it, yet it will not move around the screen.  Also sometimes cursor jumps to left side of screen on its own.  I cannot get the curser to return to normal, except by banging on the touchpad in frustration, which I know is not a very good repair technique.  Otherwise I have to re-boot for the touchpad/cursor to go back to normal, but that is becoming a real pain.  The other time this happens is often right after I plug in a flash drive or external hard drive.  NOTE:  this problem is ONLY when I am using the TouchPad.  I never have any problems when I am using a wireless mouse, so the problem is specifically with the TouchPad.  When I run internal troubleshooting, or the HP driver check online, every test says the TouchPad is operating normally and the driver is up to date.  But there clearly is something wrong, but beats me what it is.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    First try uninstalling and reinstalling the touchpad drivers...
    To uninstall the touchpad go to Control Panel and Add/Remove programs.Select Synaptic Touchpad and click uninstall or remove..Restart the computer and then download the driver from the link below:
    Synaptics TouchPad Driver
    You can also refer this link to adjust few settings in the touchpad that may fix.Try diabling the gesture controls and check:
    Turning all gestures off and on
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • Problems upgrading to Windows 10 on HP Pavilion DM1 Notebook

    The Notebook is curently running Windows 7 Professional and I have been running the Windows 10 upgrade.  It goes through the first install and re-boot and then on the second phase when it is installing drivers it gets to 71% and reboots with a blue screen, I think  displaying as ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NO EXECUTE MEMORY but it is not up very long so I am not sure and rolls back to Windows 7.  I have tried disconnecting external devices, tried a clean boot, tried updating all the drivers, turning off the wifi and leaving it on a LAN only connection to no avail.  I have managed to updated a desk top pc to Windows 10 with only a little difficulty even though Windows decided the display driver was not compatible, so this is a real puzzle.

    Thank you. No, Kaspersky was not installed, and I have never installed it. Is it used by McAfee, as it is sometimes bundled with Acrobat Reader? I installed it once in an update and removed it immediately. Anyway I found this file registered twice in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and in a sub folder, it was not related to any existing process so I deleted it, tried the upgrade again and it completed this time. So for anyone else with this problem look for the file name after ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NO EXECUTE MEMORY when the blue screen comes up, which is very brief, and then delete that file. In my case it was kl1.sys. This was not however recorded in the report that appeared after the system rolled back to Windows 7. Problem solved.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Hardware upgrade

    Hello HP, the model of the notebook is WW181AAR, i want to upgrade the processor (Core i7 Q740 @ 1.73GHz) and video card (Ati mobility Radeon HD 5000 series) of my Notebook, can you help me with a list of processors and video that supports the mainboard of my laptop, or any alternative upgrade, like a change of the mainboard, thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You can apparently install a motherboard from the dv7-5000 series which would accept the 2nd generation i7 processors as follows:
    Intel Quad Core i7-2820QM 2.30-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.40-GHz), 45W (1600 MHz, 8-MB L2
    cache). It would be this motherboard:
    With ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550 discrete graphics subsystem, 1-GB of dedicated memory (Quad Core), and subwoofer v.1.2          630979-001
    Right now you have the best video available on the dv7-4000 series, the 1 gb Mobility Radeon 5650M. The new motherboard video would not be a big upgrade from that, if at all. The 2nd gen i7 processor would be a big improvement but obviously you have to buy both a motherboard and processor and a heatsink/fan as well. Might as well buy a new laptop because the current 4th gen i7s are much better than 2nd gen and the cost of all those upgrade parts is going to be close to the cost of a new laptop.

  • Install hybrid drive on Pavilion DM1 notebook pc

    I bought a Toshiba 1gig hybrid HDD to replace the HDD (500Gig) in my DM1 so I thought it would be a simple job of clone the old to new and swap HDD. How wrong can one be?
    I've done this before, just a few weeks ago, replacing a HDD on my main PC with a Toshiba SSD. Got the Toshiba cloning utility (NTI Echo) and 30 minutes later it was up and running.
    So tried NTI Echo to do the DM1 afterall it was a Toshiba Hybrid disc I bought. The Clone started as usual by rebooting into the utility, an error flashed on the screen then a fail message "Can't find Source Disc"
    No matter how many times I try it can't find the Source Disc.
    What's going on?

    F12 does nothing on this PC.
    I am currently in touch with
    Heather Wenholz
    NTI Technical Support www.nticorp.com
    949-421-0712 M-F 9-6 PT
    via email but not getting anywhere.
    I eventually got it working by creating a recovery USB stick using the HP Tools facility.
    With the new HDD in the Netbook I used the USB recovery to recreate the factory setup which got me to a booting netbook but as it left the factory.
    I then copied the C partition (using DriveImage XML) off the old HDD to the new HDD which got me to a booting netbook mostly as it was before I decided to put a new HDD in.
    I copied the recovery and hp tools partitions also with DriveImage XML.
    Now I'm struggling with getting Outlook (2000) working as I prefer it to Windows Live Mail.
    Beware the time taken to copy partitions. The C partition was 250Gbyte and took 29+ hours to copy!!!!!!!!!!
    If your Tech Support keeps emailing me I will continue to provide information to them.

  • SDD AHCI Mode HP Pavilion dm1-4027sa

    System: HP Pavilion dm1-4027sa (AMD processor)
    BIOS v:  Hewlett-Packard F.02, Tue 11/10/2011   (maybe I should update to F3 but all I see is it improves WAN so....)
    Hello to all,
    I'm going to purchase a 240GB Corsair Force 3 SSD.
    Now we all have seen the option to enable AHCI mode, I won't to do this as with TRIM support etc. *PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER WITH: YOU DON'T NEED AHCI, YOU CAN GO AHEAD*
    Problem is, the stupid BIOS is so simplified that there is nothing on there for AHCI mode. 
    I looked in device manager and it seems it has been set up in RAID, as all I get is: IDE ATA/ATAPI. 
    Below is device manager showing the controller. Further below is the drivers of the controller:
    Unless, the AMD controller supports AHCI I will not purchase my SSD, and forever think why on earth I bought this so called 'entertainment notebook PC'.
    Thanks for looking guys and girls,
    Danny

    Hi:
    You're not going to need to install the chipset drivers. They are already included in the W7 install disk.
    Your chipset is newer than the AMD 8xx chipset as well.
    Your product key will work on a W7 install disk, but I was not aware of any HP Home Premium W7 disks that would work. They are usually part of a recovery disk set and won't work without the whole set.
    In case yours doesn't work, then just do this...
    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.
    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.

  • HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC hdmi port to hp monitor stopped working

    I have a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC (processor: AMD A8-455m APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics) and for the past year been using it with an external HP 20wm monitor by way of HDMI to VGA cord. On March 1st 2015 I turned on my laptop and monitor and it could not find the external monitor. On the monitor it stated no connection found and monitor went to sleep. The cord and monitor work with my sons laptop so I know they're not the problem. Went to Screen Resolution and tried to detect and nothing. Having rolled back the driver (7600G) and no difference I updated it back again. I took the computer back to a restore point on Feb 26th and the outcome was the same it does not work.  I would appreciate any help that can be put forward so this issue can be resolved. 
    Thanks,
    Tom

    It is not designed to use with computer. You need more hardware to go with it. Much better to buy something like one of the following external optical drive, will be much cheaper

    Hi,
    Haswell mobile architecture uses a completely different socket than previous generations. You may use a Sandy Bridge like Core i5-2450M on an Ivy Bridge laptop but you can't use Haswell in any of the previous generations:

    So far I have heard there is no reason for an upgrade to Haswell from Sandy or Ivy Bridge computers.

  • HP Pavilion Dm1 Memory upgrade: pc3-10600 versus pc3-8500

    Hi,
    After researching HP and other various sites, I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion DM1 from 3GB to 4GB RAM using 2 x 2GB PC3-10600 modules. The information I found seemed to indicate that the HP Pavilion would fully support 1333Mhz memory and I thought I could give my Netbook a little performance boost. Note: the price was the same for both the 1066 and 1333 memory modules.
    My system is working OK, but I have a number of quick questions:
    Although I have installed 1333 Mhz memory, it is been reported as 1066 Mhz via HP tools. Is this the maximum memory speed the Netbook supports and will utilising 1333 Mhz cause performance bottlenecks and long term damage to my system? Can I configure the system via BIOS to utilise the memory at 1333 Mhz?
    As I use Windows Home Premium I understand there is a 3.5GB access limit (this is why I only upgraded the system to 4GB). Will the extra 500MB not utilised by Windows be utilised as video memory as I originally hoped or will it come out of the 3.5GB? i.e. in other words, is my 4GB upgrade in reality 3.5GB?
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Alex

    Hi, Alex:
    I don't know what exact model dm1 you have, but normally the memory runs at the max speed of the Processor's FSB in the case of Intel processors.
    I am not quite sure on how AMD's processors work with regard to memory speed. Something about multipliers.
    Did you consult the service manual?  Chapter 1 usually provides the processor and memory specs.
    No damage will occur to your system if the memory speed is only 1066 MHz.
    Nothing can be done to change the speed at which the memory runs (unless there is a BIOS update that addresses an issue--read any BIOS release notes for such a possibility, which I doubt there is).
    You can check how your memory is being used in two places:
    1. The Resource Monitor (in your system tools menu). In the memory section it will show system reserved, free, etc.
    2. The Windows Experience Index's detailed report (Control Panel>system and security>WEI
    You can see your video adapter's total memory, shared memory and dedicated memory.
    Best regards,
    Paul

  • HP Pavilion g6 Notebook incompatible with AMD PHENOM II N660 processor

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with upgrading my laptop's processor.
    Product Name : HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
    Product Number : QJ283EA#ABU
    The processor I've bought is a AMD Phenom II N660 which is supposed to be compatible according to this pdf:
    http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02770249.pdf
    However when I took my laptop apart to place the new processor in, the processor socket didn't match the pins on the processor. Hope that made sense? I'm not an expert with computers, but have some knowledge about them.
    What can I do? Is there anything I can do to fix this such as buying a new processor socket or is that something that can't be changed? From what I can tell the processor appears to be compatible according to the information on the pdf above, so shouldn't the pins be the same?
    Thanks for reading and I hope someone knows how to help me!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    If the originally installed  CPU was of the AMD E-Series, then the system board accepts only BGA413 socket CPUs.
     If the CPU was an A-series  AMD CPU, then the socket was FS1
    The CPU that you bought is a Socket S1 (S1g4) type. 
    Upgrading the CPU does require a bit more than looking at the Maintenence & Service guide as a reference. The guide assumes that you have all of the perquisite knowlege. That is why tt is meant for HP Service Centers and technicians.

  • HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC_Keyboard and Touchpad Suddenly Stops Working

    Hi there,
    I have an HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC (QG411PA) running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit for more than a couple of years already. During those times up until now, whenever my laptop is on standby for an hour or so, its keyboard and touchpad suddenly stops working, regardless if its running on battery or on AC power.
    I always ensure that I have an external mouse in order for me to navigate properly and pull up the on-screen keyboard in order to type once that issue arises.
    All appears to be updated in terms of Windows Updates and I even reformatted it, but issue still persists.
    Is this particular issue that I am experiencing a harware issue? Perhaps a software issue? Or maybe a defective model itself?
    Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
