HP Pavilion G4-1117dx (I think) Ram?

I currently use an HP Pavilion g4 (1117dx I believe), and I read that the RAM amount is upgradeable to 8 (Currently stock 4), so I was interested in doing that. However, I have no clue what brand/type, etc. of RAM works with my laptop, therefore I was hoping someone could give me some options, or tell me what to look for.
Thanks.

Hello @ComputerChaos,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you are looking to upgrade the RAM on your notebook computer, and that you are looking for the specific type you can install. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
According to the Maintenance and Service Guide, your computer supports:
2 customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots
Dual-channel memory
Supports up to 8192MB (8GB) of system RAM
Type - DDR3/1333-MHz
The following configurations can be used on your system:
● 8192-MB total system memory (4096×2; not supported with Windows® 7 32-bit operating system)
● 6144-MB total system memory (4096×1 + 2048×1)
● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1 or 2048×2)
● 3072-MB total system memory (2048×1 + 1024×1)
● 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1 or 1024×2)
● 1024-MB total system memory (1024×1; not supported with Windows 7 64- or 32-bit operating system)
The following part numbers can be found below (10600, 1333-MHz type DDR3 modules):
4 GB 621569-001
2 GB 621565-001
1 GB 639736-001
Before removing the memory modules, follow these steps:
1. Shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn
the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
2. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.
3. Disconnect the power from the computer by first unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet and then unplugging the AC adapter from the computer.
4. Remove the battery (see Battery on page 48).
5. Remove the service cover (see Optical drive on page 49).
Remove the memory module:
1. Spread the retaining tabs (1) on each side of the memory module slot to release the memory
module. (The memory module tilts up.)
2. Remove the memory module (2) by pulling it away from the slot at an angle.
Reverse this procedure to install a memory module.

HP Pavilion g4-1117dx Wireless Button Won't Work

My HP Pavilion g4-1117dx wireless button(F12) won't work. I've tried rebooting, reformatting, changing operating systems(win7 to win8), nothing works. At very rare instances I turn-on the laptop it is already on but only for a short while before it turns off again. The wireless adapter shows-up at the device manager and I've tried updating it but I cannot confirm if the update was successful because the wireless light turns orange by itself. I have also tried to enable and disable the action keys in the BIOS menu. Please help.

Hey Tung,
If your connect an external keyboard are you able to type? I would first give it a good cleaning to make sure there is nothing interfering with it. A can of compressed air usually works wonders or a air compressor if you have one handy.
If this does not work try a hard reset:
Disconnect all external devices first
Remove AC power
Remove the battery
Press and hold power button for at least 20 seconds
Reinstall your battery
Plug in the Power
Turn on the computer
Let me know if this helps!

Can my Pavilion dv8000 run 2g of ram and dual 250gb hard drives?

I have a older HP Pavilion dv8000 that has been wiped and reloaded at least 4 times because my son thinks all web sites are safe, and I want to know if it will handle 2 gig of ram and dual 250gb hard drives with the processor that it runs on, it currently has 1 gig ram and a 160gb hard drive, or do I throw it in the trash and buy a new one?? The 17 in screen is perfect but my son loaded Windows 7 on it and now it will barely run at all, it had XP but his "computer wiz buddy" said this will make it run just great. WRONG, so I need to start over. Any suggestions other than when or if I get it fixed to keep my son away from it.

The dv8000 series covers a lot of territory...most are single core centrinos but some are core duos...some are single core AMD processors. It was not a real poular model and I do not see a lot of them, but always thought they are pretty well made and robust. To me a dual core processor is the minimum requirement for a useable computer these days. If it is in fact a single core I would abandon it and buy a new one if you can afford it. But even the single core would be OK for light use if there is no other option. I recommend XP be installed on it, but some of them have a video system that can handle Windows 7 OK. Yes it can be upgraded to 2 gigs of RAM and you can install 2 x 250 gig hard drives. It uses DDR2 memory and if I recall correctly some are PATA hard drives and some are SATA hard drives so you have to see what you have before you order a replacement. They evolved quite a bit over their lifespan. If you can give us the full model number from the tag on the bottom of the laptop we can provide more knowledgeable help.

KT7 Turbo, 6330(I think) Ram problems

I just bought a MSI KT7 Turbo mobo, AthlonXP 1600+ palomino cpu and Corsair 512 MB PC133 RAM for 100 bucks....good deal? well if it worked. I set everything up and it boots fine, but as soon as I reset the computer it just gives me a blank screen and no POST, I have to reset the BIOS to get it to boot again. The diagnostic LEDs says its the Memory, but I can boot once and everything works fine? So I changed the FSB to PC100 and it works, but my proc is now 1050MHz, Im confused, if it was the memory how would I be able to boot once and get into windows no probs...and yes Im sure the RAM is PC133. Argh, any suggestions would be GREAT right now, I hope Im just missing soemthing, maybe cause this is my first AMD system I'm overlooking something? TIA
300 Antec PSU
AMD 1600+ palomino core
KT7 Turbo board
Corsair 512MB PC133 Value Select
Viper V770 Ultra AGP card

I put another PSU in, dont know if its better really, but its a 300w model. This is so wierd, cause as I am writting this its running at 133FSB, full specs, ran sandra and its exactly on the dot compared to another 1600+. But as soon as I reset it, it wont boot, the Diagnoxtic LEDs will say its my RAM and Ill have to change the FSB to 100, then back to 133 to get it to boot. argh, I think the mobo is fux0red :(

I get three beeps when I start my 2008 15" MBP. I'm thinking RAM problem. Is it possible to buy RAM for my (ahem) vintage model?

I Get three beeps when I start my MBP. It's an old model 2008 15". I think I need to buy new RAM. Is RAM available for these older models?

RAM is available from OWC and Crucial, the best sources of Mac compatible RAM.
Ciao.
Take out the RAM modules and clean the contacts. Reinstall them making certain that they are well seated.
If the tones come on again, test by installing each module in each bay to determine if the module or the bay is faulty.

Machine thinks RAM is incompatible (two beeps, loud fan, no video)

The Problem: computer will not boot, gives two beeps and fans run full blast. The status codes indicate not that the ram is bad, but that it is not compatible with my machine.
Background: My PowerMac G5 1.8 Single (Late 2004) has been collecting dust for the past two years, so I decided to make use of it and turn it into a media hub. I basically dismantled it and dusted all the parts (I know what I'm doing for the most part) and put it all back together. I wiped the hard drive before doing this so there is no OS installed.
Now when I turn on the computer, I hear two beeps, the fans go full blast, and no video. The power button LED blinks twice, pauses, then repeats until I turn off the computer. I am using the same RAM, so I know it is compatible.
I have tried resetting the SMU, taking the RAM out and replacing it, installing the ram it in every possible configuration (2 512 mb sticks and 4 slots), and ensured that it is in correctly. I can't install OS X because I cannot get picture, nor does the optical drive open.
The blinking power light indicates there is a problem with the ram, but my experience (experience of only upgrading RAM and NEVER needing to replace it) makes me want to look for other causes before I order some new RAM. I tried resetting the SMU, but I'm not convinced that it worked, especially since my model doesn't appear to have SMU or PMU reset buttons. Apple says to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord for two minutes instead.
I should also add that none of the status lights around the memory slots are lit up, but there is a solid red light coming from the top corner of the motherboard just above the expansion slots. I have yet to discover if this means anything.
Any suggestions would be greeaattly appreciated
Thanks,
Jack

Are you positive you've installed the two RAM sticks in the innermost slots of each bank of slots as shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2248

Hp pavilion g6-1106er max of ram 4gb or 8gb???

1

Hi:
The product specs page for your notebook is not very clear, is it?
What the interpretation of that is...Your notebook comes with 4 GB of memory, and it is upgradable to another 4 GB of memory, for a total of 8 GB.
The service manual confirms this in Chapter 1, page 3.

How do you remove the case to upgrade the ram for a dm-1 4142 pavilion notebook.

How do you remove the cover to upgrade the rem for a Pavilion DM-1 4142? Does it just snap off?

Is this the HP Pavilion dm1-4142nr?
The RAM bay is generally on the bottom of the notebook. See the RAM Upgrade Guide for details.

Hi,
You can install any combination of RAM that you want to. It is your notebook.
However, HP has published the amount of RAM that the systemboard and BIOS will support and you are aware of it.
You will have best results in your experiments if you install only matching capacity memory modules.
You may be the first person to try two 8 GB modules and report success and on the other hand you might find that it didn't work.
Just remember that there is no guarantee that your notebook will boot into Windows with 12GB or 16Gb installed.
BTW...there are no 6GB capacity memory modules manufactured.
Best regards,
erico

Hp pavilion dv6 RAM usage problem ?

Hi last week got my new Hp pavilion dv6 notebook with 8gb RAM installed. But windows 7 shows only 2gb as usable and doesn't use all the 8gb installed. I have replaced the company installed windows 7 with my legal 32bit version of win 7.
Pls help me out of this.
Thanks on advance.....

Hi,
Check the following.
Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook and check in the bios if 8Gb of Ram is showing here. If it is, but just not showing in Windows, check the following after windows has loaded.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run Box type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab and then click Advanced Options. If there is a tick in the box next to 'Maximum Memory', click to remove it, click OK and click Apply on the System Configuration window. Restart the notebook.

Laptop sounds like it is going to explode! Windows 10 sound issue HP Pavilion G7

Okay, so on the 29th I updated 2 laptops, one of them an HP G7, to Windows 10 from windows 7. Had very minor issues, including the microphone and webcam not working on it. Haven't found a solution to that one yet, but 2 days ago, a new issue appeared after I rebooted (and I assume a windows update was done). There is a constant sound coming from my speakers that sounds like the computer is about to explode! It is horribly loud and doesn't respond to any sound controls including mute. So I rebooted into safe mode and disabled the speakers in device manager. Rebooted to normal and no noise - no sound at all now of course, but no issue and everything is working fine. Today, Windows did another update so I figured perhaps it had fixed the issue...nope! As soon as I enable the device, boom! Sounds like a super high/fast helocopter has moved into my laptop's case! Scared the heck out of one of my cats it is so loud! So I disabled the driver again, rebooted and noise is gone along with sound capabilities. So right now no sound, no microphone or webcam working on my computer. Yes, I tried updating the drivers (says they are up to date). Troubleshooting tells me device is disabled (well, duh!). I also tried uninstalling the audio drivers and reinstalling to no avail. Devices I've disabled are the IDT high definition audio codec with driver version 6.10.6392.0. I also disabled the Intel Display audio with driver version 6.14.0.3097 for good measure. I left that one disabled and only tried enabling the IDT though when I still had the big noise this am. My computer is a Pavilion g7 2070ur I think it is??? (hard to read even with my glasses on ) Its on Windows 10 Home 64 bit and I have 6 GB ram. Processor is intel core i3-2350m cpu @2.30 ghz Anyone have ideas???

I bet the mortgage you have a 40 gig HD. They were weaker than the winner of the weakest weed in the world competition.
Remove Battery. Switch it on. Firewire it up to your buddy's mac and download everything you need. Get a new HD (80 gig was much better (and quicker)) and you'll be fine and dandy.
You'll need a new battery too.
$200 well spent I don't think. Apple should own up to the dreadful HD issues surrounding the 40 gig models - should live 5-6 years, mostly they live 2-3 (according to the repairer that fixed mine after only 18 months of minor use!)
Music to Dell's Vista loving ears no doubt!

Memory upgrade on HP Pavilion g6

Hello
Can my HP Pavilion g6-1185sa with 4GB RAM be upgraded to a greater amount of RAM? If so what is the maximum and what type should I use?
Thank you
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
It is generally best to upgrade using matching modules, but if you wish, you should be able to just install another 4Gb module - you can use an application such as CPU-Z to find the specs of your existing module ( the relevant details can be found under the Memory and Spd tabs ) or an automated System Scanner.

Memory upgrade on HP Pavilion g6 series

Can my HP Pavilion g6-1186sa with 4GB RAM be upgraded to a greater amount of RAM? If so what is the maximum and what type should I use?
Thanks.

Hi:
According to the product specs it appears your notebook comes with one 4 GB DDR3 memory module.
The specs also indicate it can be upgraded with another 4 GB memory module for a total of 8 GB.
So you need to purchase one 4 GB PC3-10600 memory module for your PC.
Something like this should work just fine.

Sound card issues downgrading Pavilion dm1z to XP x64?

A few months ago, while following the "Unofficial Downgrade to XP" guide, I decided to go with XP 64-bit for my Pavilion dm1z laptop. The thread does indicate that 64-bit XP isn't supported at all for newer HP laptops, but I wanted to still take advantage of the expanded memory availability for my laptop with a 64-bit OS. (Specs are below in my signature.)
I was able to get everything working that I needed -- monitor/display, wireless, wired networking, touchpad, SATA drivers -- everything except the audio driver, which HP no longer provides for 64-bit XP and which I was unable to find elsewhere. Upon repeated installs, I would always get "The upgrade does not apply to your system" or something similar. MS UAA HD Audio had installed properly, but audio always appeared with a yellow exclamation in Device Manager. Sound card is used with IDT audio drivers, and I'm assuming that the driver(s) I tried work only with a 32-bit OS. I ended up reinstalling Windows 7 through a recovery USB I had made prior to my attempted downgrade, but am still not happy with Windows 7, and would rather have XP 64-bit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of either: 1) a guide on how to upgrade/replace the built-in IDT sound card with another, more widely used brand (like Realtek, Conexant or Creative), or 2) somewhere I can download IDT audio drivers for 64-bit Windows XP?
Pavilion dm1z-2100: 5 GB RAM; 500 GB HD
Audio: IDT HD Audio
Wireless: Broadcom BCM4315; Wired: Atheros AR8121
Graphics: AMD / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
Storage: AMD 780G Chipset; AMD SB700 Southbridge

Thanks for the link, will try it as soon as I can.
But in case it doesn't work, is it possible to replace the internal audio card with one from another company, and download the XP drivers for that?
