Is it possible to install an SSD on dv9000 / DV9831CA Notebook?

I would like to know if there is an SSD drive avaialble on the market that will suport the dv9000 or the DV9831CA? My HDD is broken and I would like to install a new SSD on it. If it is possible, with one would you recommend?

Hi,
I have a HP DV9700t with a SSD as the primary hard drive.
I have tried two different SSDs and they both work without issues.
OCZ Vertex III 120 GB
Crucial C300 128 GB ---- probably out of production
Some of the newer SATA III SSDs may not be backward compatible so a SATA II SSD should be OK. Be sure to install the lastest Intel SATA drivers. The prices are really dropping so you might want to consider a 256 GB SSD. That size should allow you to use the HP Recovery Disks to load the SSD.
The SATA controller in a laptop is not going to perform as well compared to a SATA controller in a desktop PC. However, you will notice a considerable performance improvement.

Is it possible to install a SSD on a 2009 iMac

I'm trying to find out for my dad if it's possible to install a SSD for a 2009 iMac. He lives in a small city where there aren't any authorized Apple Service Providers, but there is a Best Buy. However, the people at Best Buy don't even know how to open an iMac.

It can be done but it should be done by a professional. If your Dad doesn't have an AASP locally then he may be able to have a company such as OWC (www.macsales.com) do the work for him. Doing this type of installation is not for the faint of heart and should be done by someone intimately familiar with the internals of an iMac.
BTW why is an SSD necessary in the first place?

Is it possible to install a SSD in a MacBook?

Is it possible to install a SSD in a MacBook? Saw some posts on google re: a Pro, but I use a MacBook for live performance and could really use the reliability of a SSD. Where to purchase, and how easy is an install?

They're available now, although it's going to be a hefty price premium compared to mechanical hard drives. Right now SanDisk is only selling to OEMs (probably without a manufacturer's warranty). I'm not sure about Samsung, although I have heard of them being available for single-piece sale and warrantied by the seller. Crucial.com is supposed to be releasing them. The only ones I'm sure is being sold and warrantied by the manufacturer are from a company called Super Talent.

It should be as easy to install as any other 2.5" SATA drive in a MacBook. I've replaced my drive myself, and it's about as easy a job as I think they could have made it. You would need a #00 Phillips screwdriver (3 captive screws on the RAM shield), a T-8 Torx screwdriver (four Torx screws holding the mounting bracket to the drive), and a coin (to remove the battery). Everything I understand about these SSDs is that it's pretty much transparent to the drive controller. It communicates with the drive like any other SATA drive and can do pretty much anything that could be done with a mechanical hard drive.

No bluetooth in my G500 and is it possible to install a SSD in place of existing HDD?

Started a new Thread as per your suggestions
This laptop is bought on Thanks giving day from best buy and I'm not sure if there is bluetooth, from beginning, I'm using Wifi. As per the website and maintenance manual there exists a bluetooth. This is no good for a brand new laptop. My friends already cautioned me from buying items listed in thanks giving sale as they are either faulty or rejected items. But this laptop is not listed in the sale and hence I bought it. But I'm not happy, as the lenovo website lists bluetooth but I'm not sure if the laptop has bluetooth. The customer support too insists me to send laptop to lenovo for a refit or replacement. But I'm not interested as I need to move on and I can't wait till I get a replacement.
Now I will try based on your suggestions!
1) I will check in Drivers folder for anything that says bluetooth - NO. But the maintenance manual says bluetooth is integrated with Wif-fi. Today I'm trying with Ethernet card.
2) I will make sure I will download the drivers for bluetooth and model from below link
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035531
I will Hook up my ethernet cable. Now should I directly start installing the drivers to detect bluetooth or should I reboot my laptop
3) Can I install a SSD in addition to my existing HDD (somewhere in web it says to enable TRIM functionality too)?
or is it possible to install a SSD by removing the existing HDD?
Solved!

hi beswaminathan,
Usually, if a machine comes with a bluetooth device, you can check it under Device Manager > Bluetooth (a generic Windows driver will used if there's no OEM driver installed- see image below).
Looking at the spare parts, the one below is the Wi-Fi card that has a built-in bluetooth for this model. If you have a different Wi-Fi adapter, it's possible that it's Wi-Fi only. Try to search the specs in google and observe.
WLAN LITEON WB225 1X1 BGN+BT4.0 HMC
For the SSD, there appears to be no slot for an mSATA or M.2 (NGFF) SSD at the back side. You will need to remove the stock 2.5" HDD and replace it with a 2.5" SSD.

For TRIM to be enabled on an SSD, you will need to re-install Windows in AHCI mode and follow these tips and tricks..

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie. Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

Is it possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages ?

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages. I am using Thunderbird quite often with both emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.
I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish both sounds as they do not imply the same things.
Thank you very much.
Olivier Hubert.

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

Is it possible to install a SSD without SATA to USB cable?

I am in the middle of installing a SSD into my Mac 2012. Unfortunately, the SSD did not come with a SATA to USB cable. I looked and couldn't find this cable in any nearby stores. Is there a work around? If not, I'll order one but thought I would ask you smart cookies first.
FYI, I have already did a back up on my time machine.
Thanks for the help.
