Hp Pavilion dv7-6c60us laptop wifi keeps disconnecting

My hp pavilion dv7-6c60us started having connection issues like 1 to 2 weeks ago. I have been trying everything and nothing works. I reloaded drivers, I restarted my modem, i did a restore point. Nothing is working. My laptop is the only thing having issues. My phone doesn't disconnect. Another laptop that is used in the house doesn't have any connection issues either. It will work for a bit then disconnect. I will either click on diagnose or disconnect and then click on connect again and then it will work for a bit again. Then it will disconnect again. My wirless is intel(R0 Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030. Never had this issue before. I was wondering if I should push the tiny hole on the back of the modem to see what that would do. It is just a reset right. The little green button. I use a motorola surfboard sbg6580. I just did the unplug reset for 30 seconds or so and then plug it in again. Any help is greatly appreciated. If my wifi card was messed up wouldn't it say something on my computer about it not working properly?

Hi,
Yes you can, up to 16Gb (2x8Gb) as shown on its specs:

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).

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.

WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
I have tried the following:
reset SMC
delete network preferences
create new network connection
add DNS servers
Add manual MTU
Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
Change order of preferred networks
I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
Thanks

Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop - Raid 1 for two 1TB HDDs?

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop
B3K25PA#ABG
Windows 7 Home Premium
Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV7 with two 1TB HDDs and a 32GB m-sata cache/ssd.
I would like to put the two HDDs into a RAID 1 (mirror) array.
When I enable RAID I loses the ability to boot into Windows.
I have verified that the Laptop will run the two HDDs in RAID 1 as I can run a Linux Boot disk ahd then boot into Windows 7 succesfully.
Something in the Raid /Boot configuration is not allowing the Laptop to boot directly into Windows.
Any ideas or instruction would be helpful please?
Regards
Gazman

Hello @Micro-Motive ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues booting after setting up RAID 1 on your DV7-7008tx notebook.
When setting up RAID 1 mirrors you need to enable the feature and then format the drives. After they have been formatted Windows must be reinstalled. If you have not already done this, please try it now and let me know if you still have the problem.
Why: Enabling the Raid 1 feature does not automatically mirror the drives. The Boot MGR is looking for the content on both drives but is only finding it on 1 and thus fails to load.
I think it's also important to explain that setting up RAID 1 with a 32GB SSD flash along with a 1TB mechanical drive is going to drastically reduce your storage space. RAID 1 mirrors the content on both drives so it can read from both at the same time, increasing read and write speeds. The downside to this is that the mirror only works to the extent of the smallest drive. Thus, your turning your 1TB drive into a 32GB drive.
See here for more information: Chapter 19. GEOM: Modular Disk Transformation Framework This article is for FreeBSD users, an open source Unix-like operating system but the same rules apply as RAID support occurs at the BIOS level.
What you may want to do is install a hybrid drive. A hybrid drive will allow you to use the speeds of SSD at a fraction of the price. You can read about this here: Hybrid hard drives: How they work and why they matter.
Let me know if you need any more information or if installing Windows after enabling RAID 1 does not work.

Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

What is the Hp Pavilion dv7-4054ca laptop pll?

What is the Hp Pavilion dv7-4054ca laptop pll? I want to underclock the cpu to increse battery life, and the guy that repairs my computer said i needed the pll, whatever that is. And I didn't want him to open up my computer...........

Thank you so much indeed,
Could you please enlighten me about these points::::
Firstly: I am quite surprised that I gave you my model name and model number, and you didn't know what battery part number can be compatible with my HP laptop?
Secondly: Imagine that I need the spare part 'Cooling fan', then how could I get the part number of it since looking at it would need me to take apart all components of my laptop to get to the cooling fan?
Thirdly: I purchased my laptop from the middle east(Saudi Arabia). Even if battery is available in the following countries (Qatar, UAE), I need to tell them about the part number of my battery to let them send me the compatible battery.
Fourthly: I need to purchase the battery at ebay.com, however, I couldn't know what part number of the battery to look for it at the ebay.com
Finally: I gave you these information below which is all what is written on the battery, and you still said 'The existing battery is the right place to check. There are more than 200 HP products use part #593554-001'
These are the information of my battery installed:
Battery 1:
Device name: MU06055
Location: Primary
Manufacturer: 13DP-SDE
Serial number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
Capacity: 55080 mw. Hour
Volatage: 10800 mv
Chemistry: Lithium-ion
Also, I found on the battery a sticker on which these information below is written:
Replace with Spare 593554-001

On the place where battery is placed, there is : Hewkett-Packard(Thailand)- Li-ion

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
Supported wireless cards are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 24.
From the looks of it, you have a choice of the Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi Adapter, or the
Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN adapter.
You must only get one of the cards listed in the service manual and they MUST have the HP part # on them, or they WILL NOT work in your notebook.
Make sure you choose a card with the part # listed for your locale.

Wifi keeps disconnecting, only at work

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" and at work it keeps disconnecting from the router. I've tried a lot to try to fix it and there are certain conditions that apply (none of the fixes work):
This ONLY happens at work and ONLY with my computer. There are also two Macbook Air, one Macbook Pro Retina, a bunch of PC's, tablets and phones connecting to it, but ONLY I get disconnected. I've tried maintaining a connection with around 10-15 other networks and they all work flawlessly.
There are several wifi spots around.
It disconnects randomly, at times it gets worse around lunch time. It can be 10 times in an hour, then stable for two hours, then one disconnect.
I've tried several router channels.
I have a DIR-655 D-link.
Held Shift+Command+Alt and clicked the power button at startup.
Deleted all other wifispots, the only one is the work one. Tried deleting it and added it again.
Deleted several .plist files, don't remember which ones but Googled and tried it.
Fixed permissions.
Used Onyx (before Maverick update).
Added a network location.
Updated proxys to Google's public ones (8.8.8.8).
Changed MTU.
Restarted computer.
No heavy load.
I've done several changes to the router, none have worked. There's so many I cannot write it down here.
It's NOT WEP, it's WPA2 Personal encryption, something we must maintain since it's secret material being broadcasted.
Everything on my computer is updated to the latest version.
No sleep mode is activated once connected to a power source. Only screen after 15 minutes.
Changing router might work, but that might take a while since the bosses need to approve the purchase.
If I disconnect Airport and then connects again it will work until it randomly disconnects again.
None of my iPad or iPhone disconnects.
It disconnects about 10-100 times daily.
I'm currently trying to ping the router constantly in a hidden terminal window. Hopefully it works even though it ***** as a solution.
That's all I can remember right now... I've tried a lot more without result. But if a suggestions arises I'll let you know if I've tried it before.
Can it be some interference? The microwave isn't on. I have a monitor, external harddrive, Wacom Intuos 5, iPad and an iPhone close to the computer. None of these matter on other spots. None of my co-workers have the same problem. The exact same problem happened in OSX Mountain Lion so it isn't Maverick specific, but I write here because I have no clue where else to put it.
I reason like this: it can't be a hardware malfunction since it doesn't happen anywhere else, it can't be the router either since my co-workers doesn't have the same issue. There's no heavy load since I basically just browse, but I do have Dropbox (I've tried limiting the bandwidth, didn't work) and a NAS and I am a designer so my files are rather large. So, my theory is that there's some sort of load that disconnects me from the router. No other here uses files even close to the size of mines so that is the only unique thing I can come up with, that and my placement. But we are in a big room together so the person of 7 that is furthest away from me is 3 meters. Is there a way to restrict the network load the Macbook uses? Like a cap. I've had this problem with routers before that just overloads routers.
So... any help is very appreciated. It's a drag working like this.

iMac 2011, the same WiFi disconnections problems after Mavericks installation.
I've installed Mavericks on another disk and now I have WiFi disconnections every 30-35 mins. I rebooted to Snow Leopard and tested there and found zero problems. My WiFi WPA-2, 2.4GHz, Edimax router, another home devices doesn't have such a problem. Turn off and turn on the WiFi on iMac resolved the problem but only for another 30 mins. I tried to create another Location settings — the same issue. And it doesn't matter I use WiFi or no — disconnections still here. I run ping to router's IP — it timeouts when WiFi stops to work so it's not DHCP or DNS problem (I've also tried to use static IP — the same result). I don't have 5GHz WiFi so I can't check it. Also I've changed channels on the router — without results.
I\m sure that this is a problem with WiFi drivers on Mavericks.
How can we send such reports to Apple support — they must fix it in nearest Mavericks update!

Ipod 4g wifi keeps disconnecting

Hi,
I have just recieved an Ipod 4g as a gift. I am having Wi-fi issues - the Wi-fi keeps disconnecting or it doesn't even bring up the network.
My Sister will have the ipod in the exact same position and her Ipod will connect to the network with no trouble and stay connected whereas if i am able to find the network it keeps disconnecting after a few minutes.
Her is a 3g ipod touch whereas mine is the latest version.
Anyone know what the problem is. Is the Ipod itself faulty or is this a generic issue with the Ipod 4g's? Anyone know how to fix it?
Its not the wireless itself as ipod 3g connects fine and so does all other devices.
Thanks

Try to reset your iPod (but don't restore it!). This has happened to e countless times on my 2g. You need to reset it or turn of wifi and turn it back on after a period of time. Hope I helped!

Why does the wifi keep disconnecting on the Macbook Air (Bought September 2013) ?

Is this only my MacBook Air, or is it with everyones. The wifi keeps getting disconnected and i would have to switch off and then switch on the wifi in order to reconnect.

Hi Ettedos,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing unexpected behavior on your MacBook Air.
I'd recommend starting with the Wireless Diagnostic built into Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.

What to do if wifi keeps disconnecting and safari does not load?

My wifi on my Mac desktop keeps disconnecting. When the internet is connected, Safari often "cannot connect to server" or "safari cannot load page" or page "failed to load". The wifi works on my iPhone and iPad, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work on the desktop. Is there anything simple I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local only
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
