My HP Pavilion Notebook can support a solid-state drive (SSD) (also known as a solid-state disk)

Hi,
Product Name dv6-6093ex
Product Number LM610EA
I don't know if my HP laptop can support a solid-state drive (SSD) (also known as a solid-state disk or not.

Thanks a lot,
I really checked out the prices of SSD at amazon.com
However, I found that the prices were relatively expensive.
120 GB
$88.49
250 GB
$132.00
500 GB
$231.99
1 TB
$439.95
Do you think it is worth purchasing SSD? Did you find any noticeable benefits since 439.95 dollars would let me purchase another laptop

How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Super Multi Blue-Ray drive?

Hi,
My HP laptop is:
HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support
LM610EA#A2N
How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Blue-Ray drive?.
I need to install a Super Multi Blue-Ray drive, with these capabilites::: read and write all types of disc formats in one convenient package: CD±R, DVD ±R , CD±RW, DVD±RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM and Blu-ray disc.
If it can support, then I must purchase HP Blue-ray device, or I can purchase any other brands, such as LG 16x Internal Blu Ray/DVD/CD Burner Writer Drive + sata data & power cables .
First of all: my Optical drive is: LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support, and with the capabilities
hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
Media Type DVD Writer
Name hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
Availability Running/Full Power
Capabilities Random Access, Supports Writing, Supports Removable Media
Read capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+R DL
Write capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL
Config Manager Error Code Device is working properly
Config Manager User Config FALSE
Drive E:
Media Loaded FALSE
SCSI Bus 0
SCSI Logical Unit 0
SCSI Port 0
SCSI Target Id 1
Status OK

Anyway, Could you please confirm for me this the Maximum resolution of my VGA is 1366 by 768 pixels, and cannot be extended.
That is correct. It cannot be extended. That is the limit for the built-in display. Using an external display that is capable of higher resolution might help in that matter but then you loose the portability of the laptop.
I came across a free BluRay player just this week, it is found here. Leawo Blu-ray player: http://www.leawo.org/blu-ray-player/
It is the only free BluRay player I have found.
That is about all I can do to help. The other possibility would be to get an external Bluray drive that can fulfill all your expectations, give you lightscribe, and possibly a BluRay player included with the purchase. It would be much less worrisome on your part and there would not be any modifications to the laptop.

Pavilion dm3 can't recover using flash drive created using hp instructions

I have a pavilion dm3 so no dvd drive. Created a flash drive using hp instructions. Recovery doesn't work. Get a message that I have a bad image and windows is shut down.

If you have already burned a Recovery Disk set on the USB, you will probably have to reset the Recovery Creator software before the usb set can be made again:

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
& if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
THX in advance

The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
OPERATE MODE:
If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
So the answer to your origional question is:
2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
or
4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

Do I have a battery charge problem? HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p258na (ENERGY STAR)

Hi all, I bought a HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p258na (ENERGY STAR) just yesterday, charged it fully. I notice that even after a full charge the batterly does not last very long. Perhaps two hours at most. I have had laptops in the past that can use battery power for much longer.
At 88% battery life the laptop has approximately 1hr 30 mins left. Just a few minutes later I check back to the battery icon at 76% charge and it has 2 hours 22 mins left (I have not stopped running any programmes on my laptop).
Update: Has 3hrs 1 minute charge at 66% power remaining
Update: 2hrs 24 minutes at 65% power
Is this usual for a HP? Never had one before and am so far not won over

Hi @lucyjoanne87 ,

Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery.

Microphone not working on dv7 Pavilion Notebook (Windows 7)

The microphone on my dv7 Pavilion Notebook is not working. I checked the sliding volume controls and have tried updating my drivers. A few weeks ago, I “unchecked” a few startup items using msconfig. Is it possible, I “unchecked” an item related to the microphone? Please advise
In addition, I tried updating the CyberLink YouCam software, but I am unable to uninstall the existing software in order allow the updated software to properly install. When uninstalling the program, I receive a “1628 Fail” notification. Is there another way to force the un-installation of CyberLink YouCam?
Pavilion Notebook dv7
Operating System: Windows 7
Product Number: A1L75AV
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
First, regarding the microphone problem, try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58226.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again before cheecking if the microphone works.
Regarding being unable to uninstall Cyberlink Youcam, see if you can remove it using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues on machines running a 64bit OS.

HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p189sa Downgrade to Window 7

Hi,
I have bought this laptop HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p189sa with window 8.1 64bit.
I didn't know about the poor performance and issues of Window 8.1 .
Although I have tried this OS , I want to downgrade to a reliable and better operation system.
Why I change ?
- The wifi network icone doesn't work property, when I change the network it disables by itsalf and it is impossible to renable it then I have to restart the laptop.
- The interface is orrible
- Sometimes the laptop takes hours before to turn off or I doesn't turn ever off
So these are the most reasons why I want to change this not usable and unfriendly OS .
The problem to downgrade is the drivers which are not available on the hp support website.
Can I use the wind8 drivers for wind7 ?
maybe a program can adapt the drivers for wind7 ?
I'm not able to develop by myself the drivers so what do you suggest ?
This question was solved.

Hi:
You should be able to use the W7 x64 drivers and software from the 15t-p000, except the BIOS and firmware files.
Make a note now of what model wireless card you have so you don't have to guess which one of the 12 network drivers you need to install.

Where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

Hi,
HDMI sound is actually comes with the video card. DV6 is a reries of dozens if not hundreds of models, which one is yours ? Please use the following steps to check and fix:
General Instructions for Setting Up HDMI Audio
Preliminary steps:
1. Plug the laptop into a power source. Some of the models have a power management scheme that will not allow for HDMI audio while running on batteries. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you find that it still does not work on batteries you can change your power management settings in the Control Panel.
2. HDMI has its own audio driver separate from the audio system of the computer ( Sigmatel, IDT, or Realtek ) . It is incorporated into the graphics card's driver so make sure you have the newest version of your graphics card driver. On models with Intel graphics the HDMI audio driver will appear in the Device Manager as "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus".
3. Turn off the computer and TV before connecting the HDMI cable. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you disconnect the cable while the computer is running and lose your audio, try closing and then re-opening whichever program you were using that generates audio.
4. Every time you try a different solution you should reboot the computer. HDMI audio is extremely finicky and seems to usually need a reboot.
Make the Connection:
1. Connect the HDMI cable to the computer and TV. If the TV has a "DVI/HDMI" port do not use it. Use a port for HDMI only.
2. Turn on the TV and select the HDMI port you are using. Adjust the TV settings to receive HDMI audio if any.
3. Turn on the computer. (Optional, some people close the laptop lid immediately after hitting the power button but I am not sure why. Most people should not need to do this.)
4. Optional. Some models do better if the TV is set to be the primary display. To set, repeatedly press Fn+F8 (or ctrl+alt+F4) to cycle through the settings (laptop display only/laptop display plus external display/external display only). Reboot the laptop.
5. Go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab. Make "HDMI" the default device. (If "HDMI" is not there, right click in the white area and look under "Show Disconnected Devices" or "Show Disabled Devices" and see if it is there.)
Post Connection Problems:
1. If there is still no option to select "HDMI' as the default audio playback device, try re-installing or updating the graphics driver, or even try an older version. The graphics driver is the driver for HDMI audio, not the regular audio driver. A few people with Intel graphics had better results by uninstalling the graphics driver, rebooting, and letting Windows look for a driver (instead of downloading the driver from the Dell support site).
2. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the HDMI cable.
3. If you are using Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center but get no HDMI audio even after it is selected as the default playback device, go to
Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab>Audio/Playback device>HDMI>properties>Advance>Exclusive Mode and uncheck "exclusive mode".
4. Try a different HDMI cable.
5. Try a different HDMI port on the TV.

Does Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC support WPA2-PSK?

Hello all,
I know this is an old laptop(Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC).
Recently, I upgraded my network system and start to use WPA2-PSK.
I have installed the patch from MS http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1974
However, the droplist of my network wireless setting still doesn't show the option
for wpa2 but wpa.
Can someone tell me the reason? Is it beause that my network adapter doesn't support
the new standard wpa2?
Thank you
This question was solved.

I believe this driver will take care of the issue...
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=3688870&sp...
Again, in addition to the above driver you also must be running XP SP3 in order to get WPA2 support if that microsoft SP2 WPA2 patch doesn't work.

Installing Windows XP on HP Pavilion Notebook with Free-DOS

Today I spent 7h in unsuccessful attempts to install WinXP on my new HP Pavilion notebook. The problem comes from the fact that there are no SATA drivers installed for the HDD and everytime I try to boot>install Win>... it fails. WinXP gives me 0x0000007b error. If anybody could help me I'd be really grateful. I tried Win7 as well, but it fails also. A friend of mine who is rather "into" the whole Software/Hardware business suggested that I try to make a new WinXP 7 with the program nlite and try to add the necessary drivers to it. The problem is I simply can't find which drivers I need. Anyways. I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you all in advance!
P.S.When I enter BIOS I can't change anything as the BIOS doesn't show any HDD device, no SATA, nothing.

Hi:
There are thousands of models of HP notebooks all with different hardware.
If your model is a new model with an amd processor you can forget it.
If your model is a new model with an intel 4th generation core processor or pentium n or j processor you can forget it.
The only way you will get XP to install on a new notebook is if it has an Intel 3rd generation or older core processor or an Intel series 7 or older chipset.

HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p239ne

Please help me in locating drivers for wifi , ethernet controller and synaptcis for HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p239ne. DRIVERS for windows 7 64 Bit ??

Hi: Unfortunately, the support pages are not working for most of the newer HP PC's. It has been that way for about two days now. Since I am not employed by nor do I represent HP, I am not sure when they will have the pages working again. Check back again some other time. I know the problem has been reported, but I don't know how long this is going to take to fix. With the Independence Day holiday weekend in the USA, I would not expect this to be taken care of immediately.
