HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 1355dx

I have the HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 1355dx. It has 4GB of RAM. Right now I have 1 left. Ive noticed that my computer has slowed down considerably so I wanted to add add'l RAM. Since I don't see and add'l port I cant add anymore (or can I?) What would happen if I replaced the 4GB with a 6 or 8 GB? Can my data be transferred over or would I lose it all?

Hi:
Below is the link to the manuals page for your notebook.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=40432...
Chapter 1 of the maintenance and service guide states the maximum memory that can be installed in your model is 2 x 4 GB of PC2-6400 memory, for a total of 8GB.
Be prepared to pay around $100 dollars for a 4 GB PC2-6400 memory module.
There is conflicting information as well.
The product specs page states your model uses DDR3 memory, so before getting any kind of memory you will first need to confirm whether your notebook uses DDR2 memory or DDR3 memory.
DDR2 memory will not fit in a DDR3 memory slot and visa versa because they run on different voltages.
The product specs page also indicates that both memory slots are filled with 2 x 2 GB of memory.

My HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 touch-operated volume control not working

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 and I was trying to use the volume control to turn up the volume but it isn't recognizing my touch, in other words, when I touch the volume control the volume isn't adjusting. I have to manually do it by clicking the right hand corner volume control and adjusting it that way.
What is wrong? The rest of the laptop is working fine.
Thanks for any help you can lend my way!

Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?

Hard disk 1 SMART (301) and Hard disk 1 QUICK (303) errors. I know I need a new hard disk, but which one?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 69 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.
If you don't have your Recovery Discs, youcan order a replacement set using the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

SOLVED: HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx Windows 7 Recovery Partition Failed, Windows Partition Formatted

Hello everyone. I just joined the community, so I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong place or if I do not supply all the needed information about my computer and problem in this first post.
I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx Entertainment Notebook PC, which came with Windows 7 Home Edition, and an HP Recovery Partition. Today, I decided I wanted to start from scratch, as the system was getting pretty slow, and the User folders were becoming very unorganized. So I followed the instructions found at the HP website and used the program HP Recovery Manager. However, after the Recovery Partition formatted the Windows Partition, and had three minutes left to copy the files into the new partition, a message popped up declaring the recovery failed, and the computer had to be rebooted. So now I have a computer with no operating system on it at all, and the Recovery Partition continues to fail. I have used the Recovery Partition before, and this has never happened.
Has anyone encountered or know of a similar issue? Does anyone know a solution? Am I out of luck, or is there someway to ask HP for a copy of the installation media?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Never mind. I found a forum post with my answer. Sorry to anyone who spent the time to read this post.

how did yiu fix this problem

Hp pavilion dv6-1355dx USB Problem.

Hello,
I have an hp pavilion dv6-1355dx laptop computer. Recently my HDD crashed and i replaced it with a new one reinstalling Windows 7 64bit. Everything works great, besides my USB's. None of my USB ports work, and in my System devices > Universal Serial Bus Controllers it shows the yellow exclamation point under the multiple "Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller -####". I understand the USB support is based in the Chipset software and I have reinstalled this multiple times. This computer is running a T6600 Intel Core 2 Duo with Intel Series 4 Express Chipset. I have also tried to update driver software within device manager and it tells me my driver software is up to date. Does anyone have any insight about this? Below is a screencap of device manager.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, all! I might be bringing up a pretty old topic, but I've registered on this forum, because I've encountered similar problem. I googled and found quite a few people with the same question, some of them on this very forum as well.
The solution provided here didnt work for me, and it took me a few hours to figure out why my controllers kept returning code 37. All usb ports were working fine up until i started updating windows 7 x64 drivers for the dv6-1326ss, downloading them from the official page. The reason why the problem occured was the accidantly installed AMD USB filter driver, so i followed the steps described here, manually deleted all the troubled lines in the divice manager, and rebooted. After the reboot, all of the drivers have succesfully installed from the windows update center, but something tells me, that reinstalling chipset driver would work just as well. Hope that helps somebody.

Hp dv6 1355dx laptop - how do I connect 2 external monitors?

I have a HP dv6 1355dx laptop Entertainment PC. How do I connect 2 external monitors (both have VGA cables) and neither one has HDMI connectors. My laptop has only 1 VGA connector, so I can display my laptop video and 1 of the external monitors.
Any help would get greatly appreciated. I am even willing to buy a docking station or port replicator.

Hi,
Docking station or port replicator won't solve the problem because of your internal graphics card. You need something which is similar to the following products:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/
or USB to 2 VGA monitors but very hard to find (normally you can only get 1 VGA and 1 other, not both VGA's).

Blue Screen of Death at HP Pavilion Entertainment tx2500

I am indeed upset with the laptop (HP Pavilion Entertainment tx2500) I bought in April 2009. A few weeks after I had bought it, the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) started to appear. Since then the computer has been crashing, but not following a regular pattern. Sometimes it does not crash for days, even more than one week. Then suddenly in one only day it may crash several times.
I should be already used to it and save my work frequentley. But I am distractful person and often I forget to do so. I have lost many hours of work due to the BSOD, and I do not know to whom I should complain: HP? WIndows?
SO is Windows Vista, and I have heard from other people that they also had problems. I think that either HP or Windows should bring the opportunity to replace Windows Vista by Windows 7 to those that had problems with Vista.
I had another HP Pavilion (older model) and never had to come through such a nasty experience as having a BSOD episode after having been working for a few hours without remembering to save the work done.

Many things can cause a blue screen event... hardware, software, a faulty driver, etc. If this has been happening since only a few weeks after you purchased the system, it would have been prudent to have addressed the situation at that time as this is obviously a serious problem.
It is unlikely that your problems would be resolved simply by installing a different operating system.

HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen

HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen. Sometimes says missing operating system after changing boot order. I have seen error message 303. This happened after I couldn't stop coolncheap popups so I saved everything to another computer and did a complete restore. When I was in the process of getting it back to working order I allowed updates recommended and optional and then everything started.

Also pressing F11 won't take me to recovery

Broken graphics card affecting motherboard of HP Pavilion Entertainment PC SD*MS/Pro*MMC*XD

Hi guys,
I need help with this: my laptop broke two weeks ago. After having a technician look at it I was told the problem could easily be fixed my HP.
Basically he said my graphics card broke and it affected the motherboard, he said this was something easy to fix and that I could send it to HP to be fixed.
When I switch the lap top on, the screen is blank and it beeps 3 times. Apparently there's nothing else wrong with it except for this. Prior to this happening my screen went funny for about 2 weeks until it 'died' one day.
The operating system installed is Windows XP.
No changes made to the system before this incident.
Full product name: HP Pavilion Entertainment PC SD*MS/Pro*MMC*XD
Please let me know where I can send it to and if this is free-of-charge since it's a recurring problem with some HP notebooks.
Thank you for your help.
Brds,

Upgrading memory in hp dv6-1355dx

Hi,
I am having a ton of problems with my hp dv6-1355dx. at one point it was running very very very slowly and would barely pull up the programs installed on it. I didn't have any indication that there was a virus because I have virus protection installed on it and I run scans every week. After some research I managed to clean it up and it started to run faster but I was told that since I had had the laptop since 2009 that I should upgrad some parts. So, I researched more about this and came up to the conclusion that I would upgrad the RAM to 8GB from the 4GB that is installed on it. I also decided that I would upgrade the hard drive from 500GB to 1TB simple because I have 100GB left and I love downloading new games from origin. I brought the parts an Patriot 8GB kit (2 x 4GB) ddr3 pc3-10600 (1333MHz) SODIMM kit for the RAM. And an WD 1TB hard drive. I also purchased a cloning kit to change over all the data from the laptop to the wd 1TB hard drive. it took 4hrs and once finished I installed it into the laptop and NOTHING HAPPEN. The screen never came on! So I took out the new hard drive and replaced it with the old one and everyhting started as normal. So I tried about 8-10 more times with the hard drive (cloning and formating) and still nothing happen and not to add during the last 3 trys of the cloning process it kept throwing error messages, I just gave up with the hard drive and moved to the ram. I installed the ram just as HP states in the user guide and once again NOTHING HAPPENS THE SCREEN NEVER CAME ON!!!! So like before I took out the ram and tried again with the old ram and everything worked fine. So I decided to look up the spare parts for this model and I discovered that HP does use that part anymore and the new part brings up a completely different ram the, ddr3 12800-1600MHz still 8gb and all. So I returned the ram and brought the new one, installed it and...... NOTHING HAPPENS AGAIN the screen still did not come on. Now I replaced the old ram for the hundredth time and just as before the laptop comes on.
So my questions is, Is the dv6-1355dx laptop able to be upgraded or did I just purchase the wrong items? Does it matter which brand I buy for the ram and hard drive or should I try to stick to what is in the system?. Should I take it to the professionals or is this something I can fix? What ram and hard drive is best for this laptop?
I really love this laptop and I really dont want to buy another laptop because the parts were not that expensive so I am trying everything to keep this laptop up and running. I am open for ideas and tips on how to improve and fix these problems.
Thanks kindly for reading this I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anyhting out please let me know and I will update it as soon as possible.
Thanks again for helping me out.

I really really need some help with this can someone please help....

How do I restore a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC?

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Notebook. When I had first purchased it, it ran on Windows Vista and I upgraded it to Windows 7. I want to restore it to factory settings but I am having difficulty. I tapped Escape and then pressed F11 and have this several times and it did nothing after each option I selected. I have also tapped Escape and then pressed F9 and tried all the selections from there and that has failed too. I do not have any of the original CDs except the Windows 7 upgrade installation and I have tried that to unistall Windows 7 but it won't do that either. I have basically tried everything, ran out of ideas, and I need help.

Hi:
You will have to order a set of recovery disks for your PC by reading the info at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
If you can read all 25 characters of the vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, you can make your own vista installation dvd.
Here' s how:
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

Retrieve password for HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700

I have forgotten the password for my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6700. How can I retrieve the password or reset it?

Hi,
Iff this is your Windows log-on password, try the following.
Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
PC Login Now
When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.
