HP Pavillion dv6-1245dx problems writing to MicroSDHC card - errors

I've purcahsed two different brands of MicroSDHC 32GB cards. They will allow me to write 1-2GB of info before giving me an error code: 0x80070052. I was using Windows 7 and read that this was an issue that was going to be resolved in Windows 8, so I installed Windows 8 on my laptop (It's legitimate through Microsoft's MSDN program).
I went looking for product specifications for my laptop on the HP site and it just gives this vague answer: 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards.
It doesn't specify SD, MicroSD, MicroSDHC or any variation. I am inclined to believe that the laptop doesn't support cards as large as 32GB. The largest card I've ever tried before this was an standard size 8GB SDHC, so at least I know it will handle the SDHC part. However, I have had issues with 32GB USB drives as well, where the drive gets half full and then starts having problems writing (no error codes though).
I'd like to know if MicroSDHC cards as large as 32GB are or aren't supported before I commit to purchasing a third card. I've tried multiple adapters as well, so I know it's not 1) Me trying to stick a tiny card in a large hole, 2) poor contact between the adapter and the laptop, or 3) poor contact between the card and the adapter.
Thank you.

card readers are prone to problems with the internal contacts, particularly multi-card readers. If you get a card inserted a little  bit wrong it can cause it to go out. HP should warrant the problem but if you can't get relief, the expresscard multi-readers are cheap and work well. My laptop has no built in card reader so that is what I use.

  • Problem writing to SD card in Ricoh card reader

    I have a Gateway 4540GZ laptop with a Ricoh card reader. Whenever I plug in an SD card, it recognizes it as usual. But it won't let me write data in dd, gnome-disks, gparted, caja, et cetera. So I remove it and flip the lock switch to lock, plug it in, and I can't write any files, but I can write data in dd, gnome-disks, and gparted. Thinking it was because I was using an 8GB SDHC card, I swap it for a 2GB SD card and I get the same results. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello!
    I have the same type of problem so I post there.
    I' try to write on a file on the SD card, and if I don't open and close the file on the loop, there's only one line writed.
    Unfortunately, on my application, I have to read the measure and write them on a file quickly than 10 ms and if I open and close the file each time, writing part take too long.
    Is there a tip to resolve this?

    Hi,
    Both the 303 and 305 errors would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced - this is also consistent with the issues you describe.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have a replacement drive sent out to you.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.

  • Pavillion dv6-6002ev is beeping on start up continuously

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my laptop which is the Pavillion dv6-6002ev i5, operating system: Windows 7, error message: continues beep code at the start up, issues occurred: water was spilled through the keyboard, product LL053EA.
    Actually I am not very proud of it but by mistake I spilled water on it through the keyboard. I immediately turned it off and I used the blow drier to dry it as much as I could..I removed even the keyboard and the memory cover from the back in order to be sure that all the water has gone.
    After that I turned it on and in the start up there is a beep code ( I don’t have LED code at all) that is continues.If I press enter or another button then after awhile this sound stops for a while then starts again and then I have to choose from the Boot manager Windows7 and then starts.
    Firstly the touchbad didn’t work but everything else worked fine (sounds, video, battery, processor). After 20 hours of the incident the touchbad started also to work but the light of the touchbad still does not work.
    So the main problem is the loud sound at the beginning that doesn’t stop unless I use the boot manager to start the Windows.
    I searched on the internet from the beginning and I saw that this beep code can only indicate a hardware problem so until now I have tried everything available on the internet to make this sound to stop (taken from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01732674&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...)But nothing worked and everything seemed fine, memory tests passed and everything.
    Also I used the DST tests that are available from this model (Hard drive, Memory, Battery) but all of them passed...
    So really after doing everything and without being an expert on PCs I would like to ask is there anything more that I can do in order this sound to stop and before I have to take it to expert to fix it? And is it this sound really worrying?, can I use the laptop until I will get it fixed or its better to have it off?
    Thank you in advance for your responses

    Hey ktassi !
    Gosh I hate when that happens! I've been there myself and I know it's very frustrating.
    The first thing I would recommend doing is turning the computer on and getting all of the personal files backed up. That would be my priority. If you already have everything saved externally, then there's no need to worry with that step. Now, there is back up software out there that you can use. However, I've found  that copying and pasting each folder individually over to an external hard drive/flashdrive or cloud service is a more reliable way of backing up your files. 
    Once you have everything backed up, you can troubleshoot. It would be helpful to know what the beep pattern is that you're hearing at power on. You did a great job finding that document. It has a key on it that will tell you what component is affected depending on the beep patter you hear. If all of the hardware components seem to be working OK, you could try reloading Windows. Although, I couldn't guarantee this would help since the beep code indicates a hardware problem, but it well worth a try.
    Here are the steps to perform a System Recovery after you have backed up all of your files. From the blue links at the top, choose "Recovery from the startup screen (during system boot)". When the recovery is done, use your computer normally. Start it up and shut it down several times to see if it will detect any problems (which will cause it to emit a beep pattern again). If it does still beep after the recovery, there may be a minimal hardware issue. That malfunctioning hardware may need to be repaired/replaced before the notebook will stop beeping. 
    You could also try muting the PC Beep. 
    Right Click on the Speaker symbol in the system tray > Click Playback Devices > Right Click on 'Speakers'/'Speakers and Headphones' > Click Properties > Click the Levels Tab > Mute PC Beep.
    This method should be used with caution though because if there ever were a serious hardware failure that would cause the computer to beep, you would be unaware of it, possibly until it was too late.
    Let me know what the beep pattern is. Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions help (this could help others with the same issues). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

  • DV6-1245DX SD Reader Problems

    Hey all, 1 year old DV6-1245DX with Win 7 64bit, since day one my SD reader has been VERY tempermental, it will at random say I have inserted a card when in fact its always been inserted or just refuses to recognize anything is inserted.  Well just now it quit completely and refuses to blink at all, windows says every thing is fine but I know its not, I have talked with HP before about this but they pretty much just gave me the finger and told me to you know what myself and refuse to warranty this problem (was brought to their attention while under warranty still so still in effect for this problem).  If this is how HP build their products this will be my first and last HP product I purchase, if the community can help me solve this issue I would be very happy  I have tried old drivers, new drivers, new cards, old cards all the same problem.  Thanks all!

  • Pavillion dv6-Had screen replaced on August 22, 2012 because it went black and would not come back o

    Have a Pavillion dv6 for my teenage daughter.  We got it late December of 2011, so it's less than a year old.  On August 22, 2012, I just got it back from being repaired because the screen went black and would not come back on no matter what we did.  It came back with a teeny, tiny little black line way down at the bottom of the screen, didn't seem like a big enough problem to worry about so we kept it and she used it.  Last night when she went to bed it was working fine, today when she turned it on after getting home from school, the whole screen is a disaster---it looks like a big diagonal crack is running up the screen and it's a solid strip of color on one side and then lines and then the crack then you can see where the sign on logo is trying to run---kind of---rolling up the tiny part of the screen it is showing on.  Called customer support, which was a complete nightmare!  I used the first number that came up for hpsupport on google and it was iyogi-----could barely understand the woman on the other end, she kept having me tell her the problem over and over and over and over and telling her my name and phone number and email address and the serial number and the product number, over and over and over and over and over and over-----this went on forever---then she had me try pressing the f10 key and the power button and it gave 13 beeps and would go off, she had me put the phone up so she could hear that happen 6 times.  Then finally she says it;s a hardware problem and she will transfer me over to harware support after trying to sell me software protection that I don't want.  She transfers me, I get an automated system and damned if I don't get rolled right back to the same Indian woman and she starts me from scratch like she hadn't just talked to me 4 minutes before that-----I was furious!  I told her I had already been on the phone with her and told her all this information and she still had me give it to her 3 more times then said she would put me through to hardware support.  I spent 1 hour and 25 minutes on the phone total and almost all of it was with this woman that had no clue and barely spoke English.  Why?  I live in the USA, I bought the product in the USA, why can't I speak to customer support in the USA?  Why do I always have to talk to someone that I have a language barrier with?  Why do they always make me do the same thing over and over and over and keep me on the phone over an hour?  It was the same way in August when it needed repaired, I was on the phone that night 1 hour and 10 minutes.   Is the goal to get you to just forget it and go buy a new one?

    iYogi is not part of HP. I would recommend calling 1-800-474-6836 or visiting http://goo.gl/Pru5A for all of your support needs with HP products.

  • Usb ports not working- Hp Pavillion dv6

    1. Product Name and Number

     2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
         •Windows 7 64 bit/Ubuntu 12.04.1
     3. Error message (if any)
         • Usb device not recognized
     4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
         • Nothing really. Stopped working while working on an assignment for school
    Description:
    My usb ports are not working. There is power running to them(light on usb stick light up) however when I plug anything in it says usb device not recognized.
    I have tried:
    Updating bios(No option in bios to turn usb on/off)
    Reinstalling all drivers for usb(removed and restarted so they would automatically reinstall.)
    Unplugging laptop and removing battery for a long period of time(all night)
    The problem persists in Ubuntu and Windows 7. I am coming to the conclusion that the ports are toast and I will need to replace the mother board. If thats the case can anyone tell me the approximate cost of replacing the motherboard?(If too much ill just be buying a new computer)
    Thanks.

  • Speakers not working on brand new pavillion dv6. headphones work fine

    I've just taken this Pavillion DV6 PC out of the box and the speakers are not working.   Windows 7.   Sound is fine when I plug headphones in.

    Hi,
    Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your Audio Driver ( probably IDT ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7
    When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio through the speakers.
    If you still have no sound, I would return the unit and get it replaced - you shouldn't have to be troubleshooting a brand new machine.

  • What is the typical cost of replacing the cooling fan the laptop is HP Pavillion DV6 6165tx.

    What is the typical cost of replacing the cooling fan in a
    laptop computer ? (In India in Indian Rupees)?
    The laptop is HP Pavillion DV6 6165tx. The cost means
    fan cost plus labour charges.

    Hi,
    You should know this better than us. Normally part is around $40 (more or less) and labour can be $50 to $200. I would charge this for $400 (minimum) or free.

  • How to get Beats by Dre software on my Pavillion DV6-6170SD?

    Hello everyone,
    I  recently installed Windows 8 (64 bit) on my HP Pavillion DV6-6170SD and most of the drivers were working right away. I used to have Beats by Dre audio software before I updated my Windows and now I can't find it on the website below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5141...
    Can someone help me find the Beats by Dre software for my laptop?
    It looked a bit like this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ali

    Hi Ali,
    You're welcome
    It may be worth trying to use the Windows 7 IDT Audio installer specifically for your notebook ( I've found this seems to work Ok on several machines ) - download it from the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the IDT Audio entry and select Uninstall - let the process complete and then restart the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Any improvement?
