HP Probook 4530s performance issues

Hello,
I bought a brand new Probook 4530s from a local dealer two days ago.
The specs of the laptop are available via the following page: http://www.1a.ee/print/?id=12973969&leasing_first_pmt=0&leasing_term=12
The system had preinstalled SUSE Linux 11 due to which I formatted the drive and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The issue that I have is to do with the fact that the computer is dead slow and it seems not to be charging. It does say charging and the led light on the left side is on, but no actual charging takes place (maybe 1% per hour).
In my opinion it does have something to do with the optimization of the i5 2450m processor. The processor scored a miserable 3.8 in the Windows Experience Index test.
Maybe it does have something to do with drivers or the lack thereof but I didn´t find anything besides the ones provided at HP´s page located at: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5060882&...
Any thoughts on how to make my laptop run like it should?
Greetings
Lembit

Probook 4530s Fan issue

my probook 4530s running windows 7 home premium core i3 was one year old in june 2013. I have started to notice that the fan makes a loud noise sometimes. It use to run continually before and pick up speed when I use to play heavy graphic games which i presume is normal. Now I have noticed that the fan does not work that often and my processor heats up to 82c (doing normal browsing) and then the fan comes on, that also in small bursts.
My friend also has the same model probook, he purchased it a year before me and when his one year was up had the same issue and replaced his fan.
Is the fan spoilt?
if I replace it should I use an non flawed brand, which brand?
Appreciate your support.

You can try to clean your fan or replace thermal grease or thermal pad on the CPU which is under teh heat sink.
You can get the tehrmal grease from any computer store
Take a look at the link below for cleaning the FAN

Hp Probook 4530s having issues downloading windows 10

I have tried to download windows 10 since it came out and said it was compatible with my current windows 7 but I am having issues now cause its saying it is not compatible . For the reason of the NX/XD in bios is not available or something so I went to go turn it on and I am unable to because of not being able to see it or find it. ANd then I go to Hp website looking for tech help and since my laptop is 4years old it out of warranty and they won't help me at all unless i pay them money for a small possible that they will even help me so that why i ended up here seeing if anyone can help me with my issues since Hp won't me at all unless i pay them money for help from them which in my opinion is ridiculous and horrible to do to your users. If I can't find answer this may be the last Hp Computer I ever buy cause of the lack of help from the company and the stupid hoops you have to jump through to get no where further.

Hey,
I have exactly the same problem. No problems on WIN7, but since I have WIN 8.1 the problems with sound are everytime.
If anyone can help, please.
Thanks a lot

WLAN Card Issue Probook 4530s

I hope you all can help with an issue I am having. I do IT support for a school that ordered a ton of HP Probook 4530s laptops.
One of them has developed an issue. The user said that one day she had wifi and the next she simply didnt. I have ran every hardware and software test known to man. I have tried resetting the bios, I have tried un and reinstalling the drivers and the HP connection utility, I have tried EVERYTHING.
The wireless device simply does not show up. Not as disabled, not even in device manager.
I tried replacing it with the same model adapter and nothing changes.
I tried replacing it with a different model adapter. After that, when I started the computer and an HP error message popped up that said something like "The adapter you have installed is not supported by this computer." I would press enter (I think) to continue and then it would start like normal. Once it started, Windows didn't recognize that device. Not as unknown hardware or anything else.
Does this mean a bad motherboard? I just don't understand how the BIOS picked it up the replacement as an incompatible device but Windows wouldn't recognize it.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Computer is running Windows 7 Pro x64 and is joined onto a domain.

Hi:
You can only install a supported wireless card listed in the service manual and it must have the HP Part number on it or it will not work.
The only suggestion I can offer is to make sure you have the connection manager software installed and see if you can turn the card on using that software.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
I assume it is not something simple like the user inadvertently turned off the wireless button as shown in the illustration in chapter 2 on page 11, and identified on page 12?

Dear Customer, Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum It looks like you are not able to Power ON the Notebook and wanted to fix the issue Please perform below shown steps to find out if this is a software or hardware issue:1. Remove all Peripherals and Cables, Disconnect them and try to Power ON the Unit 2. Check for LED Light Status and ensure Power Button spring action is normal 3. Swap with a known good Power Cord and Power Adapter 4. Incase no Adapter is available, Check if the Power Adapter is slightly warmNote: This will give us a hint that the Power Adapter might be fine 5. Do you know if the Notebook was in Battery or Power Adapter Mode when you used it for the last timeNote: Ensure there is no liquid spillage or Power Outage 6. Check if the AC Adapter Port is loose/broken Note: If the Notebook doesn't Power ON even with a known good Power Adapter this confirms the Hardware fault with System Board or the DC Power Circuit Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again **Click the KUDOS star on left to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem.

ProBook 4530s metal casing has leakage current while charging

Hi,
Recently purchased probook 4530s works fine. Only when it has to be connected to the charger the metal casing gives a very uneasy fealing of leakage current and is very annoying. Have searched the internet and found this problem common in HP models with metal body. Big name is going to get a big hit with this annoyance. Kindly help if anyone has found a specific solution or HP has provided with a solution to anyone.

try this:-
Perform a Dry Boot on the unit.
a. Shutdown the computer.
b. Disconnect the AC adapter, any externally connected device like External Hard Disk, External CD Drive , Pen Drive and remove the battery. Make sure there is no disc in the drive either.
c. Press the power button down for about 45-60 seconds.
d. Reconnect the AC adapter and not the battery.
e. Restart the computer
PURPOSE: This will discharge any residual charge present in the unit completely

Recovery manager ProBook 4530s

Helo board
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) is explained here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01867418&cc=us&destPage=document&lc=en&tmp_docn...
I have two questions:
1) HP Recovery Manager is not on my ProBook 4530s. Is it available for this laptop?
2) How can I do a "no-format non-destructive reinstall" of win 7 64bit on my ProBook 4530s - (using Recovery Manager if possible?) - i.e. reinstall without formatting, loosing data or settings ?
If HP Recovery Manager is not available to my ProBook 4530s, then I wonder if the link below is a preferable way to do a no-format non-destructive reinstall - or is there a risk, that it will hamper some HP-installations or settings?

HP ProBook 4530s won't power up

Hi, When I power up the HP ProBook 4530s the power button lights up but the display doesn't come on. It stays that way untilI power the notebook down (nothing is displayed whatover). The battery is in useless condition and the notebook runs on AC power only. Recently (two weeks before the post) I received the error "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded” error message in Windows 7 and fixed it by booting the computer in safe mode and fixing the registry entries. I can see that the USB port receives power and both the cooling fans (internal and external) are functioning when I power up. Would be deeply gratified if you can help me sort this out. Thanks,Rajasekar Vijayaraghavan

Hello Amishware,
Your Probook is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forums
Good luck!

Screen does not turn on after sleep - ProBook 4530s - Windows 8.1 (64bit)

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this had to be posted in notebook display and video section, or laptop lockups, freezes and hangs. Anyway, I have a problem, where everything is fine with the computer, it's running smoothly, but whenever I make it go to sleep, after it does it instantly, the signals are of a regular laptop sleep - power buton flashing, no other signs of computer being on.
However, the problem appears when turning the computer back on after sleep. After pressing the power button, the computer straight away starts working - you can hear the fan turned on, etc, just that pretty much nothing changes with the screen. Sometimes, with some particular light directed towards the screen, you can even see, that the computer is on (seeing the clock on the display), just like the brightness was set down to 2% or something. And there is nothing that helps from what I have tried to do (tried reinstalling both AMD drivers and Intel HD drivers). I researched this problem extensively but could not find a solution, however, as I have noticed that this is quite an old problem (assuming from the date of the posts this problem first showed up), there might be a solution for it, to which I just have not noticed the answer?
If anyone can help me, please do, the sleep function is essential and extra important function when living on campus at university, I just cannot operate like this.
Hopefully someone will know, thank you in advance.

I am using hp probook 4530s comes with windows 7 home premium.In my laptop internal bluetooth is disabled by the windows from device manager, how can I enable it ?Please help......The error is:Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

It sounds like your laptop is possibly overheating ,which will cause a shutdown. Have you checked your cooling fan to be sure it is working? Cleaned the vents/ports with compressed air to increase airflow?

I have tried several times to install win, vga latest update, install all drivers but still above. ask how to fix how, I would like to thank

Hello @pio4791 ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, here is a link to your drivers from your product page for Windows 7. I would uninstall the Video drivers from your device manager. All of the drivers and software. Restart the notebook and check the device manager. If the video drivers are installed not further action is needed.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that need updating.
Thanks.
