HP Pavilion dv7-1093eo - CPU uppgrade ? p8400 to p8600 ?

HP Pavilion dv7-1093eo Entertainment Notebook PC
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
have found a p8600, and the question is would it work and is it a good deal for me?

Hi, below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01918142.pdf
However it shows that your notebook uses the T8400 and T8600 processors (see page 1).
That is a lot of work to go through for such a small gain in speed.
Personally, I wouldn't do it.

Speakers use 100% of one CPU - Pavilion dv7

HP Pavilion dv7-4153cl
I have had two warnings about something using 100% of one CPU. The first one while using Dragon NS. The second was loading a program.
When I clicked the warning, a box came up listing the speakers but nothing seemed to be a problem.
Should I be concerned about these pop-ups?
Why does it warn me?
Does it slow down the computer?

It doesn't help, has i said : i allready do standard procédure to help (what you point) : update to lastest, disable extension or theme (i do not use), disable plug-ins... nothing helps, the bug is still there.

HP Pavilion DV7 1120eo doesn't boot (Error Code 1 / CPU)

Hi,
I have a DV7 that doesn't want to boot.
When I try to boot it up, the screen just stays black and the caps lock indicator blinks one time between each "pause", which should be an error code for broken CPU(?!).
I asked the HP Support team on Twitter how reliable the error codes are, and according to them they should be reliable.
So I repleaced the CPU with another one, but still the error code shows when I try to boot.
I'm just wondering if you may know what could be wrong? Could the CPU socket itself be broken?
I found a long hair laying in between the CPU and CPU socket, but I reckon that it can't be the problem, or else something would've gone wrong like 3 years ago - since it must have been there since the computer was manufactured.
Anyway, I hope I can get some clarity or advice on things to try out.
Best Regards
Alexander

Baking in the oven can work but it is a crude, temporary fix. Unless you have access to high tech diagnostic and repair tools, a bad motherboard is a bad motherboard and is a "replace only" item. There are services on the internet where shops with the tools will fix your motherboard and the cost is very reasonable if you can remove the motherboard yourself and just ship that, instead of the whole computer. We are talking in the range of $60US. Even if you have to send the board to the US, the cost is very competitive with a replacement board. Here is a replacement board on eBay that ships worldwide from China:

This repair service would be $108 with shipping:

All of what you wrote - I understand that. But understand and you - the replacement of the processor is required because performance lacking. For a new book i haven't money. You are employee of HP and really can help asking the question to someone of your colleagues who will know exactly whether to run the new AMD processors in my notebook. All my notebooks have been made HP I always helped the company - buying its products, help you and me now. I'm not asking for much - just a concrete answer - will work or not?
No!! That is where you are wrong. I am not an HP employee.
Very few of us here in the forums are HP Employees. Those that are, with very few exceptions, are here volunteering their own time to help owners of HP products. This is a peer to peer forum where owners of HP products share their time and expertise helping others who need help. We are here to help. We are helping as volunteers.
There is no concrete answer on this. Sometimes an upgrade to an unsupported CPU will work, but most often it will fail. Read my previous posts. The risk of whatever currency you use in your country to purchase the new CPU is yours, not mine nor HP's.
Here is a solid answer for you...Use a CPU that is in the list in the Maintenence & Service Guide and your upgrade success chance will go up dramatically. I cannot say your upgrade success will be guaranteed because there is always the chance that you may break something during assembly/disassembly or be unaware of a critical assembly/disassembly procedure and inadvertently destroy your new CPU.
If you want a high performance CPU and chipset in a laptop then choose well when making a laptop purchase. Laptop/notebooks are actually not meant to be upgraded.

Okay so I have been having this problem and it is really bothersome. My CPU usage spikes up to 100% when I do most anything and if I am running Adobe Flash it stays at 100%. I cannot watch movies or play games. My computer is running hot. We found that propping it up so it could get air helped but not for long. It goes right back up to 100%. I have tried everything, reinstalled the OS, updated drivers, BIOS, cleaned fans, everything. I have read so much on this with no definitive solution. PLEASE HELP!!

Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M.
So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics?
If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).
I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).

Hi,
You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink.
Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

HP Pavilion dv7 overheating issue

Recently, i bought myself a HP Pavilion dv7-5000ev laptop with a HP Renew warranty (+ 2 year HP Care Pack).
First time in, the operating system was Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Almost immediately, I found that it was overheating. A prime number calculation stress test + SpeedFan temperature checking showed that cores exhibited extreme temperatures (not falling below 98-99 degrees Celsius). Even after terminating the stress test, the temperatures dropped very slowly (about half an hour, down to 65 degrees, and stopped). I got a suggestion, that a BIOS update would do the trick. It did do the trick (i updated the BIOS to the latest version, provided on HP's official driver download site), but only in terms of half a degree Celsius.
I sent the laptop back to the store, they replaced the Beats Audio speakers and what they called, the "cooling module". Again, i installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, did the stress test again, and temperatures didn't go over 92 degrees.
The problem is, that it is a little too hot, when idling. It was the same even before updating BIOS and sending it away for maintenance. Even when installing software (which, in my opinion, shouldn't be that much CPU intensive), temperatures boost up to 75-80 degrees.
Is this normal? Is it normal for my laptop to be idling at 60-65 degrees Celsius and jumping to 80, when doing nothing more than installing random software?

Here is what happened with my HP DV7 7047 cl. It has a manufacturers defect in it, that I fixed myself. I bought mine at SAMS CLUB in the summer of 2012. It is a i7 beats edition DV7 notebook, I'm guessing the same thing is happening with HP's line of DV6 and DV7 laptops. Mine has a nvidia GPU in it, but they also come with ati radeon GPU's. It isn't surprising they are taking them off the market right now.
If your laptop has 2 vents, and the one in the back is not blowing air through it then your laptop possibly has the same problem mine had, and you need to take it to replace the inner fan piece which was designed for only one vent. The way it works is both of these vents are made out of aluminum and are separately connected to the CPU and GPU. The one to the side is your GPU one. The aluminum vent in the back cools your CPU. If your CPU isn't getting any ventilation then your laptop wont last long and could possibly start a fire. Here is how I fixed mine by myself. And how you can fix yours too.
Before taking it apart call HP Support and ask them if you can open it up to "clean it". They will give you permission so it doesn't void the HP warranty.
My laptop would reach between 70c, 80c, 90c, even 100c and would get extremely hot, but wouldn't overheat. And I was concerned because my laptop is only 3 months old. It would get very hot. So I decided to take it apart and see what was going on inside. I followed the instructions on HP's website, they have online guides and manuals for taking your laptop apart and putting it back together. If you need instructions on finding your manual for your laptop then email me at [email protected]. Doing this fixed my laptop entirely. It never gets hot now, it runs faster and can play games at their maximum settings. The CPU will stay only at 60c, 65c at its tops. It's like magic.
Here is how you can surgically correct your faulty laptop fan. You're going to make an opening in the fan, cutting a bit of plastic off, so that the other vent to your CPU can get ventilation, if worst comes to worst, you can jot down the name of the fan on the sticker and go to HP's website and order a new piece to replace it for like 50 bucks.
What you need is...
A small screwdriver
A tiny screwdriver
And (optional) some thermal compound to replace your cooked old compound. Mine was like chalk, I replaced it and it helped cool down my laptop by like 10c. You can get thermal compound at Radio Shack, and the silver stuff is the best.
First open it up carefully, take your time, and take out the motherboard. Its the big chip with the fan connected to it and the aluminum vents.
Next, If you're planning on replacing your thermal compound, then unscrew the bolts on the heat sinks and take the big metal pieces off the chip, place your motherboard chip to the side. Now take the piece with your heat sinks, fan and vents connected to it, and turn it around.
Next unscrew the 4 or 5 tiny bolts behind the fan. So you can take the inner fan piece out. Notice its shape, does it have an opening for your other vent? If not, then make one. Cut an opening in the plastic, the size of the other vent. I used a knife carefully angled to cut the plastic off. Once I cut it, I just bent it off the bottom to take it off. Place the fan back into its frame and screw in the tiny bolts.
Now replace your thermal compound. You can use a Q tip with the cotton off of it, to scrape off the old gunk - then clean it with a slightly wet Q tip. You can use a little rubbing alcohol but you shouldn't need much. Next put a drop of the new compound on the heat sinks and the chip. Using some plastic wrap on your finger even it carefully on top of the little silver parts where the old stuff was.
Now you're good to put it all back together. Gently place the heat sinks on the chip and don't move them while you screw the heat sinks back into the chip.
Carefully put the laptop back together and you're done.
Here's a picture of my fan, and how I fixed mine. I didn't bother to take the piece out when I took the picture cause those tiny bolts are a PAIN to take out with a knife when you don't have a tiny screwdriver.

HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl (w/ Intel Core i5 and ATI GPU): Which is its normal temperature?

Hello,
I have a question about HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl (w/ Intel Core i5 and ATI GPU):
Which is its normal temperature?
Environment: 24 °C (Celcius)
HWMonitor and Real Temp agrees with the numbers find below.
The two CPU Cores starts at 37 °C and in about an hour are at 53 °C, with CPU usage under 10%.
The GPU starts at 34 °C and easly goes to 57 °C, with some peaks at 72 °C
Regarding "Hewlett-Packard 144B": (under low/idle CPU usage)
TZ01: starts at 40 °C and very fast goes to 55 °C or 65 °C (and more, under CPU load)
PCH starts at 59 °C and very fast goes to 76 °C (and stays there)
GMCH: starts at 40 °C and very fast goes to 55 °C or 65 °C
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (TMPIN0): Starts at 34 °C and easily goes and stays at 57-58 °C
Note: I'm also using a cooler (two fans, under its base)
If I run Real Temp (v. 3.6) "Sensor Test", the cores goes up to 100 °C , and even a bit more.
Which is the normal / expected behavior / operational range?
Steady PCH at 76 °C is it normal?
TZ01, GMCH at 55 - 65 °C is it normal?
i5 Cores at 55 °C is it normal? (and easily going to 70 °C or more)
GPU (ATI) at 57 °C is it normal?
is it normal to climb up to 100-105 °C under a 5 minutes high CPU usage operation?
Thanks!

i roll back to bios F.25 which is the older version of bios that support my device but still suffering from same D90 system overheating error.
i can't contact hp support or send it to offical hp center currently coz i am from Egypt and i live in far town

Pavilion dv7 - heating and fan problems, hinge broken - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS JUNK!!!

This message is targetted towards people looking to purchase an HP Pavilion dv7 series of notebooks. Hopefully they are scanning these boards prior to purchase, something I (very) regretfully did not do.
My system: Intel i7 Q720 @ 1.60GHz, 8GB, ATI mobility radeon HD5650 1GB, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Almost immediately, there were severe overheating problems. Even under normal use (1- 4% CPU, Word, Excel etc.) it became too hot on the left side to keep on my lap. My kids actually burned their hands on that part. I once used it on a table with a vinyl tablecloth. It actually melted the vinyl!
Running any CPU/GPU intensive software causes a shutdown due to overheating, a real nuiscance with playing games or watching video in HD. Just as a test, I ran one computationally intensive program overnight while I kept the machine in my freezer. Even then, it overheated and shutdown! (I have not overclocked; just running my software on the hardware as purchased).
Even in normal use, the fan runs very high, and is very noisy. It is so noisy that I cannot leave it on in my bedroom.
Finally, because of the positioning of the vent, I am certain that the intense heat weakens the left hinge. I am very careful with how I open lids, always with both hands on the lid. Within two months, the left hinge cracked. I argued extensively with HP, but they insisted that it was my fault, and I was charged for the fix.
I'm wondering whether the designers ever turned on (let alone stress tested) these units prior to selling this piece of !@#$.
Added bonus: within 4 months, the hard drive failed, though I can't pin that on HP. While the drive was getting replaced, I went out and bought an Acer. It had better specs than the HP, was cheaper, lighter, and even with the CPU at close to 100 percent, the heat is hardly noticable, and the fan is barely audible.
I bought HP because most of the scientific instruments in our labs is manufactured by HP, and it is truly high quality , high precision equipement, some of it running for over 25 years problem free. From that, I really trusted the HP name, I trusted that their PC division would have equal quality and standards. !#$% was I wrong! I'm glad they're getting out of the PC business.
The only reason I'm keeping this junk is because I took the extended warranty at the store, and under it, after three major repairs, they will get me a new notebook of equal or greater value. I can't wait for that inevitable third breakdown!

The dv 7 eg 4012 is the biggest disapointment:
the hinge brakes, it has an overheating problem!!!
Be prepared to replace it after 12 months or pay the bill for the repairs, hundreds of dollars.
I purchased the laptop directly from the hp online store about a year and a half ago.
First of all I had to install the latest drivers because hp is not making sure it comes with up to date drivers.
To find out what the problem was I had to contact the costumer service about 6 times.
After about 12 months the laptop startet splitting at the left hinge. The HP Costumer Service looked at the photos and told me this, Quote: "We have received the attachment of broken hinges and find it is an user damage hence, the service of the Notebook would be done on chargeable basis."
Before you want to buy a hp laptop, please type into google: broken hinge hp laptop
And you will see hundreds of posts of disappointed costumers.
Even class action lawsuit have been taken out against them.
For me, this was the last time that I invested about a 1000 Euros( bought it in Europe) in a product which needs to be replaced after a year and a half.
Please stay away from this product,
except you have plenty of time and money to keep this machine alive.

HP Pavilion dv7 - 2012TX Hardware Upgrade

Product: HP Pavilion dv7
Model #: dv7 - 2012TX
p/n: NW975PA#ABG
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
This product has never been tampered with and is totally stock apart from installing windows 7 onto it. It is fairly old now and id like to upgrade it if possible.
It currently has the following Processor,
Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
It currently has the following Installed Memory (RAM),
4096MB 4.00GB (3.00GB usable)
My question is, is it possible to upgrade my processor to the,
Intel Core™2 Duo T9600 2.80-GHz with
6-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz front side
bus (FSB) ?
Id also like to know if it is possible to upgrade my RAM and if so what is the maximum size?
According to the hardware specifications the maximum memory is 8192 MB. Not sure what that means exactly.
If all this is possible, id like to install a 64bit version of the latest Windows onto it.
Would that make it run better?
Thanks

As you might expect we get a lot of these questions and the first thing you are going to want to have is the Service Manual:
Manual
You have the ATI Radeon HD 4530 graphics. I believe you are limited to dual core processors, not Quad Core and the fastest you can install is a
Intel Core2 Duo T9800 2.93-GHz with 6-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz FSB 507951-001
The T9600 is not listed. I know the T9800 is about $75 on eBay so not too bad.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-2-Duo-Mobile-T9800-SLGES-2-93GHz-6M-1066MHz-Socket-P-Dual-Core-CP...
Your maximum memory is 8 gigs; that is 2 x 4 gig modules. Unfortunately you are using the older DDR2 memory and it is quite a bit more expensive than the current DDR3 variety. 8 gigs of DDR2-800 laptop RAM is going to set you back over $200:
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT2KIT51264AC800
I don't know if you are going to do the processor upgrade yourself but with your own labor you would be looking at almost $300 and if you have to pay a tech to install the CPU think in terms of $450 total.
Your license for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit would include a right to run Windows 7 64 bit from the same Key Code and I think you should just reinstall a 64 bit version. As things are, you are not fully taking advantage of 4 gigs of RAM so upgrading to 8 gigs would be useless unless you also go to 64 bit Windows. This will require a complete wipe and reload, not an upgrade install. I would advise against Windows 8 on that machine. If you decide to go there figure another $60 for a copy of Windows 8 64 bit, at least.
Let me offer another suggestion. Your laptop has space for 2 hard drives. Move your original 5400 rpm 500 gig drive to the seconday slot and purchase a 240 or 256 gig SSD for something like $150, or even a 128 gig for around $90. You could even forget the upgrade to 8 gigs RAM. 4 gigs is plenty, but I would upgrade to 64 bit Windows to unlock all of the 4 gigs.
Using an SSD as the main boot drive will make you think you have added 1 ghz + to the processor speed.
You will need a second hard drive caddy and cable here:

Here is a good deal on an SSD:

HP Pavilion dv7 1070us will not POST

Model: HP Pavilion dv7 1070us
System will not POST after replacing FAN.
I first replaced the FAN, then after re-assembling the unit resulting in:
Black screen,
CAPS-LOCK white LED continuous 1 second blink,
F12-WIFI amber LED solid ON,
The FAN comes on, then stops for a few seconds then restarts and stays on;
I thought this indicated that the CPU was running.
I did all the normal tricks:
RAM in-out various combinations,
CMOS battery removal.
Power adapter and Battery removal combinations.
Hard Reset by holding power button for 15-30 seconds w/o battery or PS attached.
remove un-necessary devices: HD, wi-fi, DVD, etc
Still does not work.
So I figured the Video portion of the CPU was bad.
I then ordered and replaced the AMD A10 4600m CPU.
Re-assembled the machine and still the same symptoms.
I guess the CPU was not bad.
I give up.
How could HP release a machine that does not POST when the main pieces are good:
Motherboard,
CPU,
RAM
Power.
I did not buy a new CMOS battery. Can't imagine that would keep it from POST'ing.
Any help ???? Otherwise went from working to JUNK.
A thought: Laptops are not worth the money you pay if they only last a few years.
