Hp Pavillion Dv7 normal startup/startup repair go to blank blue Hp background

I was recently minding my own business on the web when my computer seemed to freeze completely, I clicked a few buttons and then my computer turned itself off out of the blue. I turned it back on and it prompts me with two options, startup as normal, or startup repair, whichever I click has the same end; it goes through the starting windows fine but goes to the Hp blue backdrop screen and it's empty with just a mouse and a window which pops up for around half a second before closing..
I have no disc to re-install, no usb to re-install, no option for safemode, and defiantly no patience.
Any help is needed thanks

    I solved this problem today. I tested some of the components and it came down to the HDD. I just bought a new HDD (WD) and replaced the Samsung hdd that came with the notebook. The notebook responds very good now (like before). It seems something on the old hdd was corrupt because further tests (installing XP and Ubuntu) suggested SMART error. I didn't had much time to investigate further on why is this happening. The old hdd works fine on desktop as a secondary hdd.
    Most probably if the BIOS had an option to disable SMART the old hdd would of worked just fine. But with this new F23 (updated) BIOS you don't have a lot of options.

  • OSX 10.5. Will not start normally. Startup sound, then shutsdown.

    OS X 10.5.  Will not start normally.  Startup sound, then shutsdown. Will start with startup disc inserted holding "C".  297.8gb capacity. 297.3gb used.  Say's must format HD to install.  How can I free up space to save my stuff? Can't access anything on HD.  Disk Utility First Aid no help.  What can I do?

    Boot from the startup disk and run disk utility, repair permissions and repair disk as well.  Reboot and see if this helps.
    Your startup disk is completely full and could be why it will not boot.  If you have access to another Mac and a firewire cable you can boot your broken Mac into Target Firewire mode by holding down T at the chime.  This will then mean your broken Mac appears as an external drive on the other Mac allowing you to delete some files and see if it will boot once you have freed up some space.

  • How to repair Pavillion dv7-4065dx broken hinge

    The left hinge on my Pavillion dv7-4065dx is broken.  I understand that HP will do nothing about it.  Does anyone know how to repair or replace it?

    Hi LAFred. You can look up the part you need in the Maintenance and Service Guide, and see if that part is available for purchase through HP PartSurfer.
    Is it on page 28, item #3 that you need?

  • I have a Pavillion dv7 error message HARD DRIVE ERROR How do I correct this?

    My computer is a Pavillion dv7  model WW181AV  running Windows 7
    no changes have been made for quite some time (over a year) 
    During startup- the HARD DISK ERROR comes on.  Iran the diagnostics as listed in the HP Diagnostic screen and no error found.  Cannot get rid of this error how can I fix this?

    If the hard disk diagnotics report no problem then the issue is with your operating system.
    A windows 7 startup repair disk should resolve the issue.  Windows 7 Startup repair disks are not freely downloadable. You will need to have acces to a PC or notebook that is running the same version and type (32 or 64-bit) as your installed OS. When you have access to such a PC and a blank DVD, then you can make a repair disk of your own.

  • Error 302 Hp Pavillion DV7-2185eb

    My Hp Pavillion DV7-2185eb notebook can't start up anymore, when I start it, it says it has an error on hardrive 2 (error 302). When I press continue startup Windows files loading.... then the Windows vista startup bar appears And then I have a blue screen.
    Please help me.

    Where do you live? I sense English is not your native language. I need to know this so I can tell you where to go for a new drive. Did you make a backup/restore DVD from your laptop so you can reinstall the software?
    Here is a link to the manual showing how to replace the drive:

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

  • HP Pavillion DV7

    I am completely frustrated.
    Almost 3 years ago I purchased the HP DV7 laptop. It is supposed to be a flagship of HP laptop range. I am currently still paying on the laptop with I shall complete the payment in June 2014. To date, I have experienced nothing but TROUBLE. Within the first year, the first laptop hard drive packed up. This was successfully replaced by HP. However, I have had to pay somone to re-install the software as the installation HP did, did not function properly and the recovery drive was missing so i could not do ti myself.
    Less than a year later, my screen packed up. Once again, I sent it in for repairs and the screen was replaced.
    My subwoofer on the laptop then packed up and I called in again only to be advised that my warrantee has expired even thou I am still paying on the product.
    My second hard drive packed up soon afterwards and I was forced to purchase a new hard drive which cost me in access of R 1500.00.
    And my final blow.....my screen has gone bonkers again.
    I now own a USELESS FLAGSHIP HP PAVILLION DV7 LAPTOP WORTHLESS R 17500.00.
    I bought an ACER for R 2500.00 about two months after I purchsed my HP DV7 for my wife. It still operates as the day I purchased it.
    My Thoughts.....
    DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS. HP = HIGH PRICE = HIGHLY PERISHABLE = HIGH PROBLEMS
    I am uterly disgusted by HP as they are supposed to be world leaders in design and technology with a reputable brand. R19000.00 later, and all I have is a laptop good enough for a RUBBISH DUMP.
    THANK YOU HP FOR WASTING MY HARD EARNED MONEY. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU AGAIN NOR PURCHASE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS NOR WILL I RECOMMEND ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS TO MY CLIENTS, COLLEGUES, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO ASKS.
    From great believer and supporter of HP products for almost 20 years, BUT NO MORE.

    Do you have another computer with a DVD burner available? If it has Windows Vista or later you can download the free ISO Recorder here:
    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
    Install this program on the computer. Download the .iso to the desktop. Right click and open with the ISO Recorder program. Have a blank burnable DVD in the drive.
    Once the DVD is burned insert it in the DVD drive of the laptop. Tap F9 as you power up to select the DVD drive as the boot device. You have the new blank hard drive installed. Follow Windows 7 install prompts. If you need more specific help with installing Windows 7 let me know. When Windows 7 is installed you can come to this site and get the drivers needed to complete the installation. 
    Here is the driver download page:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4125...
    You might want to download these driver files to a thumb drive or burn them to a disk so you can use them right after Win7 is done installing in case there is no internet acess without the drivers.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    If you are no longer able to boot your computer, then the drive is too full and has become corrupted. You may be able to repair it using Disk Utility on your Installer DVD:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If this doesn't work, then you will have to erase the drive and install OS X from scratch. From the Tiger installer disc you will choose the Erase and Install install option.

  • Can the touchpad buttons on the Pavillion dv7 be replaced or dampened?

    I really like my new Pavillion dv7 but the touchpad buttoms are really loud and annoying.  Is there anything that can be done short of using a mouse?  I hope HP is doing something to address this. 

    The best way to find out would be to take it in to an Apple store for diagnosis (free, repairs are not).

  • Add internal bluetooth adapter to HP Pavillion dv7-4285dx?

    Hello, I have a  HP Pavillion dv7-4285dx and was wondering if it would be possible to make my notebook bluetooth capable and if so, what adapter(s) are compatible? I've been able to add adapters to other notebooks (mainly Dell) and during surching for a repair guide and my preliminaly dismantle, I found a couple empty connector plugs so maybe one of  those might be it. The guides I found weren't clear as to a module for my model. I was also trying to find out the model a step up from mine that would have the adapter already in it, but no luck. Any one out there able to help me out? I'd like to continue using my bluetooth mouse and headset.
    This question was solved.

    That's one of the guides I thought would help but on p.87, it talks about model dv7-40XX using the 537921-001. Am I looking on the wrong page? When I tried talking with HP they kept giving me the run around and wouldn't even tell me if it was possible to add bluetooth to it.
    Don't worry about it. Have a look at the page 1 and "Product Description". It says Dv7-4000 through Dv7-4299. This is why it says on the page 87 Dv7-40XX because it was meant for all the Dv7-4XXX laptops mentioned in the Product Description. I guess that all Intel laptops from the series use the same motherboard so the necessary slot for the bluetooth module should be there..

  • Hp Pavillion dv7 - very loud fan noise (cracking)

    My HP Pavillion dv7 starts up with a veqry loud fan noise.
    It is still under warranty (hp care) tii 23/12/2011
    Is the fan broken or can i resolve the problem myself

    Hi,
    If the fan is making a lot more noise than usual and sounds as if it's cracking, this is very likely to be a mechanical issue.  By far the best suggestion I can make is that you contact HP straight away and arrange to have this repaired while the notebook is still under warranty.
    The telephone number to arrange this can be found on the relevant link below.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • Problem with HP pavillion dv7 giving message (a problem with the internal fan enter = shutdown

    HP Pavillion DV7 notebook PC
    Windows 7 64
    intel I5
    6 gig memory
    service pack 1
    I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
    Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
    I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
    I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
    any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause
