HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook

Hello
I have been experiencing some problems with my sound card in my HP laptop. The sound will just stop if I have it turned up 3/4 or higher. The sound works most of the time, however there are certain times when it will just stop altogether. I'm not sure if I should send it in for repair or not. I've had it for a little over 2 years now. Any help would be much appreciated.

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
thanks

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.

It's probably easier to order a new board as it's separate from the main mother board.

Trying to reingtall win7 on pavillion dv7 cant get past a dialog select the driver to be installed

Hi I have a HP Pavillion DV7-4065dx Refurbished Notebook PC with the following specs:
AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N830 2.1GHz
4 DDR3
500 HDD
Blu-ray
17.3" Display
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
MPN: RB-WQ861UA
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
I recently tried to reinstall my windows and made the mistake of loading windows 7 Home Premium x86 (32 bit) when it should have been Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and my fingerprint reader wouldn't install. I tried upgrading to the 64 bit which failed with a message about incompatible hardware. I tried doing a HP System restore from both the restore drive and from backup disks I didn't have any luck with either. The restore using the 5 cds I created made it to the 5th cd and then failed without any reason other than error code "HP Recovery Manager error Code 0xe0ef000e" and told me to contact HP Support.
I have deleted my partitions and created just one partition at this point and tried to install windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and it starts off ok but gets to a dialog that says install windows => select the driver to be installed => and I can't get beyond this point. It doesn't tell me what driver it is looking for and my only options are browse and rescan because next is grayed out.

Hi:
Your PC should not require any special drivers for W7 to install.
Try downloading the W7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit iso file from the link below and follow the instructions to use the Microsoft ISO to USB tool.
Make sure you get the whole file to download. Make a note of the advertised size and compare that with the actual file that downloaded. Sometimes it states the download was complete but the whole file isn't there.
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook starting with Blank White Screen--Help??

I've had an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook for a couple years now. Today I go to start it up (without the power cord plugged in), and a completely white screen appears. I'm thinking, maybe it's still starting up/working some kinks out. Then I hear the Windows 7 twinkling start up sound that usually happens when you get to your log in screen. So it seems the computer itself is working, but there is zero display on the screen. If anyone has any good advice/experience with this/knows how I can fix it or what I should do, PLEASE let me know! Computer problems are so distressing

I had this problem with my father's pavillion.
There was a broken pin in the screen socket on the motherboard so I guess it was always making poor contact until one day this pin must have broken off completely and the screen would only display completely white.
I inserted a fine solid wire (not multi-strand) into the plug at the right point so that it only just stuck out enough to make contact with what was left of the pin in the socket, whilst being fully inserted into the plug.
I then taped the plug/socket together to make sure it didn't loose contact by coming loose.
Seems to have solve the problem in the short term (but the socket should need replacing for a long-term fix).

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?

Can the pavillion dv7-6157 be upgraded for gaming?

I bought my son the pavillion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he is having trouble with graphics on the high end games he is playing. They freeze or crash. It has 8G DDR3 SDRam, 2 gen Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo, and radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. For video memory it says "itchable graphics"...what does that mean? Can this computer be upgraded in a way that would help the graphics? Is there a graphics card or driver upgrade? Can more graphics memory be allocated?
I'm getting tired of hearing that laptops suck.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the original factory specs for the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook Computer. This model shipped with an Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU and a Radeon HD 6770M GPU. "Swichable Graphics" is a system that depending on some system settings and the graphical load, will "switch" from the integrated Intel HD GPU to the AMD Radeon HD 6770M.
Based on the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide, there is very little room to improve the performance of this computer. The AMD Radeon 6770M 2GB (this is what you have) is the best this system can accept. Maximum memory is 16GB (you have 8GB). And, in theory, the best CPU would be an Intel i7-2860QM, however there is no guaranty of this.
As far as drivers are concerned, please the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The HP provided drivers appear out of date, however you may not be able to install newer driver directly from AMD or Intel.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

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.

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.

Hp c4280 photo-smart added to new hp pavilion dv7 notebook. printing custom sized paper won't center

I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv7 notebook and added my HP C4280 printer. It prints normal things fine, but when I try to print with custom size paper (for instance, 5" by 10" notecards) and want my information centered in the middle of the page, the alignment prints it in the middle of an 8.5" by 11," way off center. I've read help on word and hp and can't find an answer. The only difference is an updated version of word.
I did download the patch and had no luck with that. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi - It definitely sounds like the SW or printer driver isn't recognizing the paper size. First thing I would do is make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver and in Word match. For the printer driver, go into File, Print and you should see an option for Printing Options or Printing Properties. Click there and verify that you've got the paper size set correctly. In Word (not sure which version you're using) 2010, go into Page Layout and choose Size to make sure it matches the printer driver. Try printing again.
I'm assuming you're using the printer driver that came with the printer? If not, you can download the latest Win7 driver from here. Once downloaded, install it and follow the steps above.
Hope that helps.
