Hi,
Be sure that the battery is fully charge then try the following:
Hit the ESC key after power on to bring up the Start up Menu and then select System Diagnostics (F2). Now run the battery test.
If the battery is OK then try the below suggestion:
Go to the Control Panel ----> Power Options and then select the HP Power Manager on the left column. You can then select one of the power plans and see the effects on battery life.
Depending on the power plan selected and what applications your are running, you may not get more than one hour on battery.

Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC hard disk failure imminent.

Lately this laptop has been running slow and hot. Just yesterday, I recieved an error message on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO), saying "SMART Hard Disk Error" followed by a message telling me that the SMART hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. It told me to backup my files and then press F2 and run a hard disk test. The Quick Test Passed. The complete test gave this error.:"Hard Disk reporting failure 301 Disk Name: Toshiba MK7559GSXP Volume C:/D:/F:/)". I am sure I will have to replace the hard disk. Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF). Can this hard drive be replaced with a Hybrid SSHD like the following:
Seagate Hybrid Drives ST1000LM014 1TB MLC/8GB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s NCQ 2.5" Laptop SSHD
or
TOSHIBA Hybrid Drives MQ01ABD100H 1TB+8GB(NAND Flash) 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop SSHD
If not, what would be the best replacement hard drive that you reccommend?

Hi,
You can put the second HDD on the second bay, existing BIOS can handle this BUT you need more hardware namely a caddy set (caddy & cables). You can buy from:

HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive Replacement

Hello,
I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and I had had hard drive issues from within warranty period. i.e. I purchase in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and again in 2012. Next time it failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on an average).
Last time when it failed, the warranty had expired so I thought of giving it a few try e.g. running thru bad sector fixing/writing-off softwares from seagate, Toshiba....this got me out of Smart Drive Error.
I have been using the HDD for sometime now but want to be prepared for the next round and I'm sure it'll be gone for good the next time.
Current HDD is 640GB, 7200 RPM Hardrive (replaced in 2012). HP Part# 621046-001.
When replacing, can I use ANY 640GB hard drive? Can I use a hard drive that is larger than 640 GB? Different RPM?
Any suggestions about hard drive?
The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work correctly. I had to use the first set I had created right after I purchased the laptop.
Thank you.

Hi Pratik Patel
According to product manual:
Your system supports SATA 9.5mm or 12.5mm , 2.5" HDDs
supports upto 2 hard drives
supports SSD too.
Single hard drive configurations supported:
250GB, 320GB, 500GB @7200RPM @9.5mm
640GB @5400RPM @9.5mm
750GB, 1TB @5400RPM @12.5mm
160GB SSD
If you want dual hard drive configurations, please click following link (user manual):
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf
But, there is not hard fast rules that only 5400rpm can be used instead of 7200rpm, which was used to replace your earlier hdd.
hope this has helped you.
thanks

Question - Need Advice Regarding Second Hard Drive On HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC

Hi,
I currently have a HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC, and my hard drive failed (luckily while still under warranty!). So I contacted HP support and they are in the process of sending me a replacement hard drive, so that I may install it. When I opened the back of the notebook, I realized that a second hard drive could be installed, if desired. I would be interested in doing this! My current primary drive was (and will be again) a Toshiba 1 TB Internal hard drive Serial ATA-300 2.5" 5400 rpm, model MK1059GSM. I understand (from reading a previous post) that for the second hard drive, I will need to purchase a "2nd HDD Caddy & Cable for HP dv7-4000, dv7-5000, dv7t SE" (the purchase link the tech in the other post referred to was http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345); and now I need to decide on the size (and other stats) of the hard drive that I will buy to install and used as the secondary drive. The HP customer service rep I spoke with on the phone about my primary drive replacement said that it is usually recommended to not go any higher (in capacity) than the primary drive, for the second drive, to ensure a more "stable" system (but I am not sure about the level of"technical" knowledge he has about the inner workings of the notebooks). However, from my upgrading experiences with desktop PCs, I was usually able to go as high in capacity as I could/desired; as long as the physical size of the drive was the same, and it was compatible with my system. And I usually did choose to go with a larger capacity second drive, as this was where most of my data and media files were stored (with the primary being used for mostly operating system and system files). This is my first time "upgrading" a Notebook, so I wanted to check with the techs here on the board- would it be a problem for me to go with a secondary drive larger than my primary drive's 1TB capacity? Also, are there any other factors to consider and keep in mind when selecting a second hard drive? Any advice and replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help with this! -Brian

You should be able to go as high as 2TB.
I also own a,(Older), DV7 notebook which has dual drive capability.
I bought my caddy from the place recommended and got everything needed including screws !
I matched the capacity in mine with an exact same hard drive and have never had a problem.
Minor battery life noticable but that was it.
Your system BIOS is what will hold you back from say a 3TB drive.
You can go to HP site and check the specs on your model and find out for 100 % sure.

I would recommend doing what I did and match the drive exactly.
Good day !

My Recovery Drive is Full, How do I clean it up? (HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO)

Hi, I'm not too comfortable with messing around with the inner workings of my computer, but the Recovery Hard Disk Drive has been slowly filling up for a while now. It is just about full and I was wondering if there was any way for me to clean it up/restore it without messing up my programs and files? I did it once before, but I can't remember how and I'm too scared to mess with it without some kind of instruction.
I have a USB hard drive for making back ups that I use now as a precaution if something goes wrong with cleaning the Recovery Disk.
My computer is a HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC running on Windows 7.
If someone could give me some advice, that would be wonderful.

Hi,
See the HP document on the following link regarding this issue - although the document refers o Vista, it also applies to Windows 7.

HP Pavilion DV7T‐4100 CTO USB 3

I have a
HP Pavilion
DV7T‐4100 CTO
and it appears that is does not have any usb3 ports.
I just bought a usb3/sata hd caddy.
Now my questions is will the usb 2 ports put out enought "juice" to run the usb 3 caddy which has only one usb connections and no external power supply?
I know that my HP Pavilion DV7T‐4100 CTO has a combo usb2/firewire port and I'm wondering if I pug my usb3 caddy into it will it power up the HD?
I belive that usb3 is downwardly compatable with usb2. So if the connection has enought "juice" will it run the HD?
Thanks
rafalovich

Hi rafalovich,
You are correct, that USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. There are plenty of USB 2.0 SATA Docks, so it should provide enough power, but the transfer rates would be at 2.0 USB speeds.
Hope this helps.

Pavilion dv7t-4100 came with 90W adaptor, but HP website says 65W

HP's website section "Find the right battery or adapter for your laptop" lists only 65W smart or slim AC adaptor for my Pavilion dv7t-4100, so I ordered the 65W. But when it arrived and I realized it was smaller than my existing adaptor (which suddenly stopped working), I took a closer look (literally with a magnifying glass) and realized the adaptor that came with the laptop was 90W. Was I originally provided a larger adaptor than necessary, or is HP misleading it's customers? The adaptor I ordered lists this model as one that is compatable with it.

Hi, That's true, when you connect AC and run games you need 90W or even more. The following list shows 3 types of adapters which are suitable for your machine (and many parts more for your machine): http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=WW191AV (You may want to bookmark that page). My suggestion: if you are happy with the 65W charger then keep it otherwise use the right part # to get a 90W or even 120W (much heavier). Regards.

Pavilion DV7t-4100 hard drive upgrade fail

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to read my question. I'm stuck in the process of upgrading and HP Pavilion DV7T–4100 laptop. The machine is a couple of years old runs Windows 7 and came originally equipped with two Toshiba 300GB hard drives. The hard drives are configured for one drive,C:, to host the operating system the second drive,D:, to host data. The D drive has now run out of room. I have purchased a Samsung spinpoint 2TB hard drive in order to have more space, but what I thought would be an easy upgrade turned into many long hours and frustration, not to mention funny looks from the wife.
Here is what I've done to date:
1. Connected the new 2 TB hard drive to the computer via USB (Windows recognizes hard drive)
2. Cloned the D: drive onto the new hard drive using Seagate disc wizard (also tried mini tool partition wizard) maintaining the original partition size.
3. Turned the computer off, removed the D drive and installed the 2TB drive in its place.
4. Restarted the computer only to find that Windows would not see the new drive. Attempted to find a drive-by going to computer management /storage/disk management where was not present either. Rebooted the computer once more, went into BIOS where I discovered that it does not see the new drive. BIOS does not have an option to discover new hardware.
5. Suspecting a bad drive, bad cable, or other bad things, I replaced the original D: drive back. Everything seems to work fine. The computer sees the original D: drive through SATA and the replacement drive through USB. Leaving me where I started, still out of room....
6. Following new advice, I reformatted to drive with just a single volume and no data in it. I didn't want to drive via SATA but neither bios norwindows and see it.
My question is: How do I get the BIOS to recognize the replacement hard drive, so that windows will recognize the replacement hard drive, so that my wife won't recognize I'm an idiot?

Hi
You're welcome
Few things:
Update bios & chipset from your product download site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4317...
Now put the new 2tb hdd & check
If no joy, don't remove it - go to disk management , take a screenshot & please post it here.
Now power off, wait - then power on again - go to bios setup & boot device options to check if you can see the 2tb hdd in anywhere here.
If no joy, proceed & shut down - take out 2tb and connect it via USB , power on - go Disk Management - take a screenshot and please post it here.
Hope you have formatted previously the hdd from Disk Management by right clicking the hdd in the lower graphical console - New Simple Volume -> format, Am I correct?
Also, please post the model number/name of both Toshiba 300gb old hdd & the new 2tb Seagate hdd.
AT LAST,
Just blow out with dry canned air - the sata port of second hdd bay , after shutting down laptop completely & after doing a hard reset.
And try connecting 2tb hdd again and check.
Also, can you check if the 2tb hdd is working by testing it in another laptop by connecting via sata.

Hola, Sonia.
Acabo de hacer una búsqueda en los foros en inglés y encuentro sólo un tema referido a tu problema, el que sólo tiene tres mensajes, incluyendo la consulta. Lamento decirte que no hay solución publicada, salvo las sugerencias de "instalar todo de nuevo", e "intentar instalar Acrobat, no desde el CD, sino que de un archivo bajado del sitio Adobe". Esta última fue descartada por el que presentó el problema porque ha usado el CD con éxito en otros Macs, tal como tú.
Sin experiencia directa, ya que no tengo la CS, yo te sugeriría lo siguiente. Corre la Utilidad de Discos partiendo desde el CD original de tu OS X. pasa un par de veces el Reparar Disco, y luego Reparar los Permisos del Disco. Intenta de nuevo la instalación y, tan pronto como termines, corre nuevamente ka Utilidad de Discos, pero sin reiniciar el computador (esta vez puedes usar la copia que está en tu disco duro); y pasa Reparar los Permisos del Disco. Te lo digo porque he leído en muchas partes que es buena práctica hacer esto cada vez que se instala software.
Suerte.

Mac mini Intel Core Duo and HK Soundsticks USB, Any Problem???

Hello everyone.
I am thinking of "transferring" my "old" HK Soundsticks USB for my sis's new Mac mini Intel Core Duo.
Is there any issue or problem with the mac detecting the USB speakers?? I thought I read somewhere here a while back that generally the Intel Macs might have a problem detecting the USB speakers.
Thanks and cheers.

Hi NewMoses, thanks for replying but you have to be specific, if you just bought your Soundsticks, it is most likely the HK Soundsticks II, is yours?? which has a normal audio jack, unlike the 1st Soundsticks, which has a USB input.
I am sure the Soundsticks II with the audio jack would have not much problem on the new Intel Macs, since they are what I considered a "physical audio input", unlike the USB, which involves the USB technology, where more complication may come into play.
Thanks and cheers

If the laptop has a nVidia GeForce GT 230M graphics or higher, it should be possible. Part number is 586170-001. You could also use a Core i7-820QM pn# 583053-001.

Samsung 840 EVO 250G installed in HP Pavilion dv7t-4100

With help from Banhien and newmodeus, I installed a Samsung 840 EVO 250G in my laptop. I got the bare disk from Samsung and a caddy and cable from newmodeus. I installed the SSD in the secondary bay and cloned the primary hard drive onto the SSD. Then I switched positions, so the SSD became the boot disk. The Samsung software worked well (about 34 minutes to clone 93G). I had moved all the data to a backup so it would not get cloned.
Boot time is about 15 seconds (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit). Everything is much faster, including web pages loading. I use Pro Tools 11 on this machine and that program is a collosal resource hog. It now moves very quickly, which should assist the creative process.
Thanks Banhien for the referral to newmodeus, which had just the right products for my needs.

How long does it take to replace battery in an built-in macbook pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2009? Can I wait for it at the Genius bar or could I do it myself?

My macbook pro shows that I have to replace the battery, but I dont want to leave it at the apple service centre and would like to take it with me after replacement of the battery. Is this a quick action at genius bar? or should I try to replace it myself?
I currently switches off even when it's on normal charger and plugged in. Why would it switch off without the having a battery even when it's connected to via power?

To replace the battery takes about 10-15 minutes. (I have taken it out and put it back in)
However Apple will not sell you the battery, they will insist on installing it themselves. In addition, you do need a #0 Triwing driver to take out the battery. Not an easy tool to find in your local hardware store.

Is this the MBP? If so, mention that to the genius bar technician when you have the battery replaced.
