Pavilion dv7 docking station

I want to find out if the Pavilion dv7-6b32us will take a docking station.  I'm fairly certain the answer is no but I would like to get that confirmed.  Thanks.

Not the snap-down kind. Laptop makers have pretty well abandoned those on consumer models and only offer them on purely business models. You can still use a usb 3.0 docking station and since usb 3.0 has such high bandwidth you can have things like video ports and other pass-throughs that work very well. The downside is a usb 3.0 docking station does not charge the laptop so it is not really a docking station to my way of thinking, just a "port replicator". Still you can set it up on your desk with the keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer, etc. and have an extra AC adapter there permanently so you just set the laptop down and plug in two things and you have your desktop setup, hot pluggable even.

  • DV7 Docking station

    I already have an xb3000 expansion base/docking station that I use with a dv9000 notebook. Can this xb3000 expansion base be used with a newer notebook, i.e. dv7-4054ca?
    Thanks

    In the past, I have been pleased with the level and quality of support provided by HP.
    I have an issue and went to this page looking for resolution.
    OK, So now I'm really confused.
    Here's my issue.
    I just bought a new Pavilion dv7 i7 4060 QuadCore and I am quite pleased with the notebook. it performs very wel l, no issues no glitches. This is the first notebook we have bought with a view to replacing the Dells we have be using.
    My new  DV4000 docking station has just been delivered by UPS and the box clearly says "Compatible with the following series HP Pavilion  dv7". Clearly, incorrect information is printed on the box your product comes in.
    For a variety of reasons, the work I do requires that i dock my notebook. If I cannot dock this notebook, it has no value to me. The "Compatible" docking station becomes nothing more than a very exoensive notebook stand, again, with zero value.
    I currently have 6 pieces of HP equipment. i am responsible for the aquisition of Systems and equipment for my business, so  hopefully someone at HP can appreciate this is no small matter.
    Any suggestion for resolution would be welcomed.
    Thanks

RAM I think was limited to 4gigs DDR2 and they are getting expensive. With the part number you can go to HP driver site and download and read the service manual and in there it will tell you the memory configuration and what memory specs it can take.

  • Pavilion dv7-1285dx Docking Station

    I'm very new to forums. . . and a mature computer user - so be nice, I might be your grandmother!!  I have the Pavilion dv7-1285dx  and I would very much like to purchase a docking station.  I can't find anything that confirms there is a docking station for this laptop.  If you know - could you please tell specifically the name of what I'm looking for?   Can anyone help?

    According to the Service manual:
    link to Manual
    "Expansion port 3 supports the HP
    xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base and
    HP Notebook QuickDock"
    xb3000 on ebay
    QuickDock on ebay
    I always buy docking stations on ebay since they go for a fraction of HP list price, but you may still be able to order these direct from HP if you prefer that. There are dozens available of each type on ebay so do your homework on the seller and look for the best deal. I just chose these links so you would have a picture to look at.

  • Need docking station for Pavilion ZV5000

    Anybody know where I can get a docking station for a Pavilion ZV5000?   The quickdock doesn't state it would work on the ZV models.

    The dv5000 has a side docking port and uses the big ES234AA#ABA docking station. Here it is on ebay but you can do way better than this price if you look around a bit:

  • Firefox do not work on a monitor connected via HP USB docking station

    Firefox 4 doesn't work on a monitor connected to a HP Docking Station USB 2.0 (AY052AA#AC3). The latest Firefox 3.6 (or is it 3.7) worked perfectly on that monitor (except for Adobe flash player). I usually have that monitor in portrait mode, but neither does it work in landscape mode. I have no problem on the native display on my HP Pavilion dv7-3070ez or on the external display connected directly to the laptop.
    The picture displayed freeze with the content of Firefox 4.0 when moved into the USB connected display from another display. When moved back to one of the 2 other displays, operation returns to normal.

    I  have lost complete functionality of my Kensington Displaylink Adaptor.  It worked just fine on my iMac with Snow Leopard, but does not work with Lion.  I have one screen connected through the display port on the back of the iMac and a second connected through the Kensington DisplayLink.  No signal gets to my monitor from the dispaly link.
    I called Kensington yesterday, and the tech surpirsed to hear that Lion was now available for sale.  The tech said that they should have a new driver out in the next two weeks, but he did not inspire confidence.
    danburdi, I see that you found a Lion driver.  Could you share the link?
    Thanks.

  • Docking station display doesn't activate after upgrading display driver

    I have a ThinkPad T400. I just reinstalled Windows 7 (64-bit) using a clean image. The automatic display driver that Windows found was for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series from 2010. When I put the laptop onto the ThinkPad docking station, the monitor, connected by VGA, was detected just fine and the screen came up in the correct resolution. However, I was having problems with slow cursors in various programs (e.g., Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Office) and hangs in Office that seemed related to the display driver. So I downloaded the Switchable Graphics Driver and installed it (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t40... That solved the other problems, but now when I put my laptop onto the docking station or wake it from sleep while it's docked, the monitor never turns on -- the picture stays on the (closed) laptop screen. The only way I've found to get the monitor to turn on is to open the laptop and use Windows-P to turn it to "projector only" (while still docked) and then it finds the monitor (and gives me an error message saying that no projector was detected). Sometimes when this happens it tries to keep the laptop screen resolution, which is unfortunately not the same as my monitor. When I revert to the old driver, the docking station works just fine but other programs hang or are slow.
    Please help! I really need my docking station to work, but I would also like to use hardware accelerated graphics rendering, which the other programs appear to want. (Or I need a way to turn it off so that it doesn't try to do that and I'll see if non-accelerated graphics work.)

  • Need expansion port 3 docking station for dv6-1211ax for home use .... suggestions please ...

    i have a dv6-1211ax laptop and planning to get a hp expansion port 3 based docking station for home use ...  can anyone suggest or comment on how they really perform ..

    I have a pair of HP XB4 Notebook Media Docking Stations being used on two DV7s.  I think they work quite well, unlike the current docking stations they use the expansion port 3 and you can power both the laptop and the docking stations from a single power supply.  Speaker sound especially subwoofer is much better than the laptops (these are 2009 and 2010 model DV7s so they have the Altec Lansing speakers (as does the docking station) vs. the 2011 laptop Beats Audio.
    I also like the way the docking station raises the laptop 6-8 inches above desk level.
    Do make sure your system is using the expansion port 3 though since at least some of the 2011 systems no longer have the expansion port (the connection from the station to the laptop is via USB 2.0 hopefully at some time the new docking stations will be updated to use USB 3.0) along with the laptops.
    For a laptop that is being used a Desktop replacement I would highly recommend the XB4
    p.s since HP doesn't sell them anymore you may have to go to Ebay, Amazon or a wholeseller)

  • Notebook docking stations

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook PC. Does HP make a docking station that will power two external LCD screens at the same time? I need to operate the two screens as screen 1 and screen 2 for reading seperate documents. Thanks, Gene.

    Hello VitaA1961,
    Yes, those docking stations will charge your computer while it's hooked up to them. Of course, the docking station itself will require a power outlet.
    Hope that answers your question.

  • Sound issues with a Pavilion dv7 laptop, please help!

    Hi everyone!
    I have the Pavilion dv7 laptop and LOVE IT!  It's a great machine and has amazing features, especially some quality sound, when it works.  I'm looking for some help with this problem.  I can fire it up and have sound.  And then the sound will cut our and when I go down to the volume and open up the sound properties, my speakers are missing and it says it's using an HP dock, which I don't even have.  Sometimes, it will say that it's using headphones.  But the option for my speakers does not show up.
    I can reboot and sometimes that will help and it will fire back up with sound, sometimes not.  I'm looking for suggestions on what to do to keep my sound from going out.  
    Thanks in advance!
    -Sean :-)

    Likely the AC power jack has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Not sure why or how it can work if you remove ACPI support but the jack does have a pin that carries data to the motherboard and I suspect yours is bad. This is the part and what it looks like. It is a middle-difficulty replacement, at worst.

  • Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
    Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
    Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M. 
    So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics? 
    If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
    My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
    It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).

    Hi,
    You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink. 
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
    You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

  • IPod freezes when playing from a docking station...Any ideas about a fix?

    I have had my current iPod for a couple of years now, and until recently it has worked flawlessly. Over the past couple of months a problem has develoed when I play my iPod from a docking station. When I play the iPod from it's cradle (connected to my HK Soundsticks) or from my JBL Speaker Base, the iPod plays fine for the first few songs. After a few songs, the iPod stops in the middle of song and skips to the next song, then skips three of four times without playing at all and utltimately locks up completely. The problem seems to arise when I am simultaneously playing and charging.
    Any ideas?
    I am using a 40mb, clickwheel, iPod.

    All I can suggest is to re-encode the video as m4v with QT Pro, there might've been a problem in encoding. Also, try sending this same video (setting TV Out to Yes) with the iPod not plugged into the dock and with an Apple RCA cable, if you have one, hooked up to a TV. If that works, the dock connector might be damaged (unlikely) but it's possible. So once you've re-encoded, see if the dock situation works then. Good luck.

    Hi,
    This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
    To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
    Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.
