HP ProBook 4530s USB 3.0 driver failure

Hi,
I have a ProBook 4530s (pn:A1D18EA#AKC) with Win7 x64 English version. There is a renesas USB 3.0 Host controller built in.
When I install the device driver it works correctly but when I close the lid of laptop and turn it back the HW stops working and the "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error appears in device status under device manager. When I uninstall the driver, reinstall, reboot then it works until the first sleep. Hibernating turned off. I tried many drivers without success.
If i disable the device under device manager and re-enable it it solves the problem but it is not normal. It is seriously annoying me.
At this time the driver information is this:
Renesas Electronics
2011.10.25.
2.1.28.0
Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
There is a Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter in device manager without driver.
It displays a "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" message. What is this hardware and where can I found a driver?
Thanks

Here are the device manager after powerup from sleep or from shutdown:

  • HP ProBook 4540s USB 3.0 Driver

    Good evening! I am having an issue with my USB 3.0 drivers for my HP ProBook 4540s. I had done my own research on the problem and came across another forum post (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/ProBook-4540s-USB-3-0-drivers/td-p/32518... and had tried to install that driver. I have tried the driver in the past as I believe it to be the problem that I am having and it comes up with, "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." everytime i try to install. The issue that i am having is that no device I put in my 3.0 ports is recognized by windows and it does not display them under Computer. Have tried keyboard and mouse in the ports as well with nothing but power. Any suggestions will help. I KNOW I need to replace my motherboard but that is for a battery problem that HP gave me the runaround with until my warranty expired and now is refusing to help. (I have been working with HP to resolve my motherboard issue for over a year now and am STILL getting the runaround from everyone I talk to) PLEASE HELP with USB.

    Thanks for the reply so fast! I am getting the same error when trying to install. I will attach screenshots.

  • HP ProBook 4530s Windows XP Graphics Driver issue

    Hey
    I just got a few of these 4530s and installed XP on them however the graphics driver won't take. I keep getting the error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements."
    It has Service Pack 3 and is Windows XP Pro which is the only requirements I could find for the driver. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't install the graphics driver?
    This is the driver I found on HP for the graphics. Graphics Driver
    I have even googled and can't find any other ideas or situations where this occurs.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Please give us the hardware ID from device manager for the video chip. Any chance the units you have use the discrete AMD graphics instead of the integrated Intel HD 3000? That would explain why the Intel driver doesn't work.
    You can also go to intel.com and download their generic video driver for the HD graphics for 32 bit XP:
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20611&ProdId=3231&lang=eng
    This covers both the i series core version of the intel video and the Celeron version; again not sure what you have.

  • Probook 4530s Display Enclosure / Hinge Set / Optical Drive Replacement (Windows 7 Home Premium)

    Hello, thank you in advance for taking the time.
    I have 2 Probook 4530s, one is fully functional, with cosmetic damage (and an nonworking optical drive).
    The other is missing HD and ram, with a dysfunctional MB, but pristine as far as aesthetics.
    My goal is to replace my hingeset, display enclosure and optical drive on my working 4530s with the parts from the non-working one.
    I do have a pdf titled "c02844462" which I believe is the full manual for the 4530s.
    This brings up a few questions.
    1. Would it be easier to transfer the HD, ram, and MB from working laptop to the other, or rather transfer the hinge set, display enclosure and optical drive from nonworking to other.
    2. What tools would i need aside from a small phillips/flat?
    3. As I am fairly inexperienced with computer/laptop hardware, (I've only installed ram and replaced a keyboard) am I getting myself in too deep with either or both of these options? (my warranty is no longer applicable).
    Again, thanks for taking time to read and ponder this
    broken hinge

  • Network Controller Driver not found, hp proBook 4530s, Windows 7

    I am using a notebook (proBook 4530s), with Windows 7, 64-bit,  and in the device manager I get a yellow exclamation mark in Network controller even after downloading and installing the respective driver Atheros / Realtek Wireless LAN Driver(s). The driver packacge extracts itself and there is no confirmation of finishing the setup. The problem started after a BIOS update by the hp support assistant on my pc

    You're very welcome. Below is the link to the driver you need for the Ralink wireless card in your notebook. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5060882&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D%257CswItem%253Dob_111782_1%257CswEnvOID%253D4059%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D%257Caction%253DdriverDocument&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

  • Bug Report - Windows 8.0 - 6.0.1 USB arbitration causes USB keyboard driver failure

    Can't find a place to submit a bug report. So here goes.
    Full Error Message:
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
    Problem Occurs:
    Windows 8.0 x64
    Vmware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776
    Problem:
    A USB keyboard ceases to function on the host operating system following the first host OS reboot after installing 6.0.1 on Windows 8.0. This issue does not occur with 6.0.0. The issue disappears upon uninstalling Player 6.0.1. Reinstallation allows Player to operate as expected, but issue re-appears after host OS reboot.
    The issue happens immediately after host OS loads, and continues irrespective of whether VMWare Player is launched.
    Looking at the keyboard drivers, the usb keyboard's driver has not loaded (see attached images). The built-in keyboard driver however reports no errors and continues to operate as usual.
    Changing the USB keyboard device to that of a different manufacturer does not resolve the issue. Any USB keyboard driver appears to fail.
    Work Around:
    1) Launch msconfig
    2) Disable VMWare USB arbitration service
    3) Reboot
    4) USB Keyboard works. VMWare Player continues to operate as normal, minus the ability to mount USB storage devices on the guest OS.

    This issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
    1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in  the drivers folder
    2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
    3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
    4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
    Hope this helps you....

  • Cannot install driver vga 7470m for probook 4530s

    Hello, I come from Vietnam, I have the following problem, my laptop does not install ProBook 4530s is vga amd 7470m, when I set the laptop screen was dark again, I have to turn off or remove vga go away, the new used to be normal, but only usable only vga HD300. 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.

  • HP Probook 4530s Bluetooth drivers problem

    Hi, I need some help. I want to know if my laptop is equipped with a bluetooth adaptor.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and these are the specifications:
    HP ProBook 4530s Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) 
    Serial Number:   {Private Information Removed}
    Product Number:   A7K05UT
    On device manager there is no Bluetooth Radio or any other bluetooth device.
    I wanted to know if this is happening due to a driver problem cause I recently installed all available network drivers for my laptop, and i wondered if something is malfunctioning (which it's not probable because my wireless adaptador is working fine).
    Thanks! 

    Hi,
    The following link shows its specs:

    No, it does not have BT. Quick and cheapr option is to buy an USB-BT device.

  • How can i recover my Hp probook 4530s

    I have hp probook 4530s and i want to recover it to its original factory setting i already converted my disk form dynamic to basic but its still not working 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

     This may work if you still have the recovery partition on the hard disk. I suggest that you try this first.
    Source for Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 & Windows 8  ISO images  including links to required software and tutorials as generously provided by forum member AXSHUN JAXSUN
    You can download the legal Windows 7 64-bit ISO image file and then create an install DVD.  You could use the Microsoft DVD\USB download tool to create usb install media. You will need a  4 or 8 GB USB flashdrive to create the installer. I find the Microsoft DVD\USB download tool  to be the most effective solution since a USB install is so much faster. You can have the installation done within about thirty minutes or so.
     Use the license activation key that is on the Microsoft Windows COA to activate the installation.
    You can download all required drivers from the web support portal for your notebook and install them.  Install the chipset driver first and then audio and card reader drivers.

  • External DVD caddy for probook 4530

    I have a probook 4530.  I am adding an SSD drive and replacing my DVD device with the internal HDD as a secondary drive.  What I would like to do is get an external DVD caddy and place the removed DVD device in the caddy and connect via USB.  Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Well, buy a new external DVD/CD writer now for under $50 is much better than recycle the old one. Anyway, if you wish, you can try something like this:
       http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/360317300092?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes
    For my testing, I bought an external burn-everything Pioneer for $119. It's very slim.

  • Missing webcam in ProBook 4530s

    Hi team
    i have HP ProBook 4530s
    i cant find my webcam in devise manger
    i try this to solve this issue
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01114052&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en#N548
    but no thing happend
    my OS : win 7 Ultimate 64x service pack 1
    help me please to solve this
    wait you

    Hi:
    it probably is, but I don't know where the driver can be.
    Normally the webcam software installs the driver on many PC's.
    You may be able to find more details about the unknown USB device by clicking on it in the device manager, then click on the details tab.
    In the Properties drop down list, select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Copy and paste the top string of characters into a google seach window, and see if anything further comes up about that device's description.

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit on my hp probook 4530s notebook, and I am going to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. but I will need the drivers for the new windows, because i will have to format the laptop to change from 64 bit to 32 bit.
    So where can i download all the drivers.
    kind regards
    Jean Meintjes

    Hi, Jean:
    Below is the link to the support and driver page for your notebook:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=5060882&lang=en&cc=us...
    Just use the W7 Pro 32 bit drivers for your W7 Ultimate installation.
    They will work just fine.
    Best regards,
    Paul

  • Macbook Pro 2011 extremely slow wondering if hard drive failure

    Hello, I want to start off by saying I'm not a huge computer guru, so that is why I'm coming here first. My Macbook Pro worked very well for a year, and then it has slowed down drastically. I've always been a windows user so mac is kind of foreign to me, but I'm trying to learn.
    Some problems I've encountered are 1. Extremely slow running whether internet related, or just an application. I have checked the activity monitor and nothing is hogging up my memory. 2. Spinning wait cursor (rainbow circle) when I try to do ANYTHING. It takes minutes to start computer once it makes it to home screen. The circle just spins for a few minutes. Even just web surfing it's there. 3. Battery drains from 100% to less than 20% in 30 minutes, which again is annoying. 4. When battery drains the fan turns on and seems to drain battery even faster. 5. I get a lot of random errors forcing shut down of programs. I have ignored this problem for two years by not using my laptop or using it very minimally, but I am going to be needing a laptop again for school and not just my iPad and phone so I was planning on taking my macbook to genius bar, but wanted to check here first since Apple is an hour away. Plus I want to be able to use the piece of equipment that I spent a decent chunk of change on. I used time machine to back up everything today. I know its not a space issue as I have 300+ free GB on hard drive. I have tried to read through similar posts, but its overwhelming so I came here to post my own question.
    I ran disc utility and there were some errors, which were able to be corrected after a couple tries. Computer still slow though when trying to do anything and running rainbow circle.
    In recovery mode I reinstalled OSX
    I was finally able to install updates after completing the above that were not able to be installed before.
    I ran etre check, this is the report that came up:

    Basically I'm wondering if anything sticks out in this report. I was thinking it could be a possible hard drive failure. I know my computer has been dropped on the floor at least a few times. Thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your patience.

    Eab, I feel your pain! I am replying simply to share my similar ongoing experience with my early 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro, running Mavericks with seeming ample hard drive space, [applications requiring less than 100GB, about 200GB data (total drive space of 500GB)] & 4GB RAM. (Disclaimer: I am not a wise or computer-savvy mac guru - simply a fellow traveler who has had a very similar set of problems - apps taking forever to load, rapid battery depletion & super overheated MacBook.  While I am a Genius Bar groupie, getting to the Apple store is, for me, akin to an antarctic polar expedition (i.e. problematic). Having spent endless hours struggling with a similar issue, I offer you a synopsis of my struggle/experience.
    STEPS TO DATE:
    1.Installed several memory utility programs (Daisy Disk &  MacCleanse) system
    maintenance program to regularly and thoroughly empty application caches (Adobe apps & internet browsers being tremendous hogs), identify and remove language elements and other redundant space hogs, etc.   Result: Small, but real improvement when I forced myself to perform a "scan and delete" session every second major computer run (typically about 6-8 hours in length). However, this did nothing to help the problems regularly detected when I run the Disk Utility which almost invariably demonstrates disk permissions that need to be repaired and, with increasing frequency, has demonstrated actual disk errors that require restarting and walking through a disk repair protocol. I did bring it to the Genius Bar where they kindly reinstalled Mavericks which they could do in about an hour versus the several hours that doing this at home requires.  This did identify that my RAM was, on fact, a limitation on the speed at which I could run certain apps.
    2. My next move was to install an additional 4GB of RAM. I bought the new RAM on eBay for about $90 because, with 3 kids equipped with MacBooks & iPhones, I simply couldn't afford the official Apple RAM. I even installed it myself, with the help of a YouTube video. Result: Giant improvement in speed (starting up or switching apps. If I had realized how simple it turned out to be, I would have done it well over a year ago. Some minor improvement in the overheating problem, but persistent problems with disk permissions continually requiring repair and periodic disk repairs (using Disk Utility) required.
    PLANNED FINAL INTERVENTION:
    3. I am purchasing and installing a solid state drive (ssd) and simply chucking the original hard drive, after considerable discussion with my savvier mac friends. It has become clear to me that, sadly, every hard drive has a finite life affected by a variety of factors. I am, in fact, hard on my equipment - running multiple graphic apps simultaneously, transferring massive GBs of data between my laptop, time capsule and an array of hard drives. I will let you know how it goes, but can share that the decision to get a solid state drive followed many conversations with multiple Mac guru-types (in the hope of saving you similar painful tribulations). The cost varies according to the size of the drive, but $400-$500 would buy a reasonable starting size. I am waiting for Black Friday sales, myself. Amazon (where I will likely purchase the ssd) is already offering a number of pre-Black Friday deals.  While I don't really feel like putting out that amount of cash, I reassure myself that a new drive will almost certainly solve the disk errors (with a solid state one offering more durability) & will help me prolong the life of my MacBook Pro by a couple of years hopefully. It beats buying a new Apple MacBook only three and a half years after investing close to $3k for this one!
    I am certain that more experienced forum users could point you to software that could help defragment your drive or may be able to offer other solutions. I've simply had enough of struggling with burning thighs and head-banging behavior triggered by slow performance. I hope this is helpful to you in some small way.  The war is not yet over, but I'm feeling good about the battle plan!
