HP Pavilion tx2510us Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion tx2510us Entertainment Notebook PC (original installed with Windows Vista) upgraded to Windows 7. When I power on the machine all I get is a black scrren. I can hear the fan, and see lites on but the screen stays black, I have taken all peripherals out, I have rtaken the memory out and put it back, I have treied an alternate monitor, I have tried to get into bios. I have also done a hard reset (took battery out, unconnected the ac power and held the power button down). An recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hello JORDANWILL822. I understand you're unable to get your notebook to properly boot.
This is definitely a hardware problem. You're unable to get a picture on the internal or external monitors. However, the notebook appears to be powering on and otherwise running. This means that it is likely that the video card is no longer functioning properly.
I would suggest checking the cable connection first. Here is a link to your notebook's Maintenance and Service Guide. This covers the disassembly of the notebook and would be invaluable for checking the connection.
If the connection is secure then you likely need to have the notebook repaired.
If the notebook isn't in warranty I suggest taking it to a local computer repair shop. This sort of problem is really best diagnosed hands-on. Many times these shops will even diagnose the issue while you're in the store.
If the notebook is in warranty or you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP I suggest contacting support. If you're in the US/Canada the number is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
I will keep an eye out for your next reply. I hope you have a great day!

HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC ISSUES!!!

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.I BOUGHT A TX2000 LAPTOP A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.THE THOUGHT OF IT MADE ME HAPPY SINCE THIS LAPTOP COST MUCH AND I WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO WAS ABLE TO BUY IT.AFTER A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS,IT SUDDENLY HANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WORK AND WON'T TURN ON.CONSIDERING THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY,HP DID NOT GIVE A HELL OUT OF MY QUESTIONS.SO I JUST CONSIDERED THAT MAYBE BECAUSE I OVER USED IT OR WHATEVER.BUT AFTER I READ COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME MODEL,I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT IT IS NOT MY FAULT BUT THE FAULT OF THE COMPANY.
PROBLEM:AFTER TURNING THE MACHINE ON,FAN AND LIGHTS ARE ON BUT IT NOTHING WILL APPEAR ON SCREEN.
I TRIED PLUGGING IT TO A DIFFERENT MONITOR AND STILL NOTHING.THEN I REMEMBERED THAT NO MATTER HOW COLD THE PLACE OR ROOM WHERE I WAS USING THE MACHINE,THE HEAT OF THE LAPTOP KEEPS ON INCREASING!!!
TELL ME,IS IT THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT?I,TOGETHER WITH SOME WHO I AM SURE WILL SUPPORT ME, DEMANDS A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT SINCE AS WE CONNECT STORIES,IT OCCURS AFTER USING IT FOR A YEAR.COINCIDENCE OR INTENTION???
PLEASE HP,IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE CUSTOMERS AND LOSE TRUST, PLEASE HEED THIS REQUEST OF MINE AND RECALL THE PRODUCT!!!
PRODUCT NAME:HP PAVILION TX2000 ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC

I also have the tx2000 with nothing but problems. If you get the blank screen here is what you need to do:
Turn the computer off and flip it over. Blow dry through the vents on medium heat for about a minute. Keep the blowdryer moving. Wait a minute and then turn it back on. The heat from blow dryer warms up the chip and it will work again. I have to do this every once in a while with mine. And also make sure you buy a laptop cooling fan for yours. I have mine on continuously and it helps, although it still overheats on occasion.
Here is a class action lawsuit that was just settled: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/521913-nvidia-reaches-settlement-class-action-suit-affecti...
Unfortunately for some reason it doesn't look like the tx2000 is included. I may just take them to small claims court.

What kind of hard drive do I need for my HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC?

I have a HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC that has the BSOD. Even when I run it in SafeMode I have absolutly NO desktop. I've tried EVERYTHING. I have lost hope. So im just going to buy a new hard drive. Does anybody have ANY idea what type of hard drive I need and aprox. how much it might cost? Please let me know(: Thank you.

It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
Drive Manual
This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
Here is a drive that would work for you.
160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
Feel free to post back with issues or questions.

Product name: HP Pavilion dv2911us Entertainment Notebook PC Laptop failed to start up

Product name:
HP Pavilion dv2911us Entertainment Notebook PC
Problem:
Failure to start up. Upon trying opening the laptop, the following lines, in quotations, were displayed.
“ Windows Resume Loader
The last attempt to resume the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to resume again?
(use the arrow keys to highlight your choice)
- Continue with system resume
- Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu “
Surely, I have chosen the option “Continue with system resume”; however the display remained black but the laptop acted as if it was on because about 5 minutes later, the side of the laptop was warm as if it was working regularly.
Can you please diagnose the problem and tell me what to do?

My laptop failed to start up model hp pavilion dv2911us entertainment notebook pc.

Product model HP Pavilion dv2911us Entertainment Notebook PC
Problem: failure to start up,when I tried to perform a hard reset, the following symptoms were noticed ( LEDs glow , fan noise can be heard, the display remained black ( except for two lines of function keys information at the bottom of the screen and the computer failed to start up.
F10 key was pressed and the BIOS mode was entered. A memory test was done sucessfully but a hard drive test failed to respond.
What can I do to recover the computer without loosing my data.

You likely need a new hard drive and I would guess your old data is not accessible. Pull out the old hard drive and stop trying to access it because every time you do it lowers the already slim odds of recovering data from it. You need to attach it to another computer with a SATA to usb adapter and see if you can access the data in that manner.

Pavilion dv2700 Entertainment Notebook - broke down due to the design defect of this model

My laptop (Pavilion dv2700 Entertainment Notebook) broke down with a black screen. As far as I know, this problem is caused by the design defect of this model.
Please anyone can help me to solve this problem? Many thanks.
I contacted HP Customer Care by submitting the online questionnaire. The feedback I received from HP is that my laptop is out of warranty. I checked the links of repair/exchange or upgrading that HP provided. - They are frustrating and useless.
Both of the products and service from HP are rubbish. I will never ever buy a product from HP!!!

Wanting to upgrade the wifi adapter on the subject from 802.11b/g to 802.11b/g/n. Already stepped on the whitelist with an Intel WiFi link 5100 that HP had a driver for so I expected it to work. Installed it and got the dreaded message. The research I thought was done but I am here asking for help/information.
Would this work?
HP part number 5189-2854

HP Pavilion dv6500 Entertainment Notebook PC series Operating system not found

Hello to all how are you doing guys doing today I'm having a problem and need the help from the tech world. So i have a Hp Pavilion dv6500 cto notebook. I started it up and got a black screen stating "Operating System Not Found". I couldnt get into safe mode to recover back to a safe point, i was able to get into the bios system to do a memory and Hard drive test, my memory test came back as a Pass but my Hard drive came back as a fail and stated "Replace Hard Drive".
Now i went out bought a new WD 500GB 5400rpm hard drive for the laptop, i installed it and did a Hard Drive test to make sure it was good and the test came back as a Pass. Now i had this laptop for years since 2007 and it broke just a few months ago, i just got the new hard drive yestarday and was playing doctor last night. When i got the laptop as a gift i was only given a recovery disk which did boot up and gave me the install now option and repair computer option. I chose the install now option and it was starting to install but then got this error message "Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070002." I read that you cant install windows from a recovery disk so now im back to square one.
So current status is I got a new hard drive that pass the bios test, memory test was a pass. I have no windows disk other then the windows vista recovery disk i tried but failed to install windows. I also tried a windows 7 disk from work but the disk wouldnt boot up came back with a message stating that disk couldnt be read there may be problem with the cd dvd drive or hard drive, but when i put in the windows vista recovery disk that boot up no problem. i just cant install window with it. So Im stuck with a black screen stating no operating system is not found. Note that i havent change the boot up line up back to hard drive to see if it would boot up the new hard drive but i dought it would change anything since its a brand new hard drive with nothing on it.
If someone could help me with step by step like how to get an operating system on my new hard drive. My wife has a laptop but with no cd drive so i would need instruction to boot get it on the usb. Hope i was helpful with my problem.

You have only tried questionable disks. You could order a recovery disk from HP but I am not even sure they still have Vista recovery disks. You could also buy a Windows 7 OEM disk and try that. it will cost you a bit but will be legal. What version of Vista is it? You can also try to find a Vista install disk and use the Key Code on the bottom of the laptop if it is still legible. Here is a link to downloadable .iso files you can use to make a Vista install disk that will activate with your Key Code:

Solved: No sound over HDMI - HP Pavilion dv3510nr Entertainment Notebook PC

I bought an HP Pavilion dv3510nr in April 2009 (4G Ram, Vista Home Premium 64Bit). As I did not have access to any HDMI devices I didn’t have the opportunity to use the HDMI output. Recently I obtained an HDMI TV and when I connected the dv3510nr the video worked fine, but there was no sound. Set the default playback device to Digital Output Device (S/PDIF/HDMI); this made no difference. Over many days I tried various suggestions regarding possible solutions, all without success.
Shortly after buying the laptop, I visited NVIDIA’s web sit and updated the original video drivers to the latest version (version 186.03). According to the NVIDIA, the 186.X drivers offer a very significant performance increase for many applications, and also include PhysX system software for hardware acceleration.
Checked HP’s support page for my model here, and found that the latest drivers provided by HP were version 7.15.11.7903, (Called NVIDIA NB9M-GS Graphics Drivers).
Decided to replace my current drivers with these older ones. This was harder than I expected. Downloading and running the exe file (sp41695.exe) did not replace the existing 186.03 drivers. Using the control panel to uninstall both the drivers and the PhysX software seemed to work, but on rebooting, the drivers were automatically re-installed. I also used Device Manager to uninstall them. Eventually I succeeded and again tried to install the older drivers provided by HP; this time I received an error message saying that I was “Trying to use a 32-bit uninstaller on a 64-bit system”. The program sp41695.exe initially creates a folder C:\SWSetup\SP41695 that contains several files including a setup.exe file and two other folders: WinVista32 and WinVista64. Each of these also contains setup.exe files. I ran the setup.exe file in the WinVista64 folder. This successfully installed both the video and sound drivers for my graphics card. HDMI sound has worked fine since then. Needless to say, from now on I will only install drivers etc. from HP website!
Hope this saves someone else some time.

Here is a thread and it seems like one person got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling but I didn't read it that carefully. There does seem to be a problem with getting a real windows 7 driver:

What wireless card do I put in my HP PAVILION DV6748US ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK PC? Have 2 options.

I need to replace the wireless card in my notebook but I don't know which to choose. There's the Broadcom 4311AG Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g mini PCI adapter card(Bevo) - 54Mbps data rate, 2.4GHz operating frequency range - For Rest of World (ROW) or the Broadcom 4321AGN 802.11a/b/g/draft-n mini-PCI adapter card - For Most of the world MOW.

My hp pavilion dv7 entertainment notebook will not turn on

When i plug in the ac adaptor all that happens is the 3 lights on the lower left blink. i belive they are the power, charge, and disk lights.
If i take out the battery, nothing happens.
I am using a charger for an hp pavilion dv4, it did previously turn on while using the same charger.
i have let it sit to see if it needed to charge, but it kept blinking.

@britay49
Depending on what lights are flashing, that would be a pattern of 1 flash repeating, which would suggest a cpu problem.
If it is the power lights, and such as you suggested, then I would trouble shoot the power itself.
Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Take a look through those, and also try different power outlets and a different power adapter if you have one that is compatible.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!
This question was solved.

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.
