Pavilion DV7 fan problems

I was using my Hp pavilion dv7 notebook earlier today, when the screen suddenly went dark and the wireless card led and sound led turned orange, then my laptop shut off. I unplugged everything and flipped it over and there was a strange smell coming out of the fan vent. Anyone know what's happening or a fix for this?

HP pavilion dv7 fan problems

Hello all,
I have a hp pavilion dv7 laptop computer and my fan is really loud now. Almost sounds like its straining or making contact with something. It is of course annoying and im sure not good for the computer, any ideas how to fix? I want to try and clean the fan blades but i have no idea how to take apart this rubix cube of a computer and get to the fans. I have taken what seems like all the screws out and could still not figure out how to get to the fan.

HP Pavilion dv7-6b01tx - Problems with usb 3.00

HP Pavilion dv7-6b01tx
A3E26PA#ABG - running windows 7, 64bit
Have been trying to connect to an external hard drive with usb 3.00 linked by a usb 3.00 cable into one of the usb 3.00 ports (backwards comapatible usb 2.00) upon connection into the port the system notified me with a message that the drivers didn't correctly install.
- upon further inspection using device manager the system cannot find the correct drivers online. The hdd works fine when connected with the same cable to one of the usb 2.00 only ports. (other devices will work on the usb 3 ports e.g the mouse)

depending on which usb 3.0 controller you have, try installing the most recent one.
here you can find those offered on hp's driver page for your notebook:

(Driver - Chipset section)
however, these may not be the most recent ones. here are the most recent ones, so install the one your notebook has (check that in sysinfo or device manager):

Pavilion dv7 mic problems

Have had the unit for about a year, have very poor sound when trying to use Skype etc. microphone on the laptop has a very bad echo, sounds as though I am "at the bottom of a barrel". Have rechecked settings, using the internal mic, etc. What do I need to adjust so this unit works as well as my husband's considerably less expensive Toshiba?
The speakers work fine but the sound from my computer is so bad can't use it for VOIP ????

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03015537.pdf
The available fan/heatsink combos with HP part numbers can be found in chapter 3, on page 27.
In order to get the right one you need to know what hardware is installed in your PC.
Since it is a CTO (configured to order), there are no product specs available.
So it is incumbent upon you to know for example if your notebook has an Intel processor and a graphics
subsystem with 2048-MB discrete memory.
Once you determine the right part number you need, you can order it online at the link below.
http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Default.aspx?mscssid=2DE434CEF5B743168A44405770DB2EA5
If you want a second opinion on if you are choosing the right part, I will be happy to help once you describe the specs for your PC.

HP Pavilion dv7 2230sa problems powering on

Recent fault developed with Notebook. Pressing power on button fails to produce any lights or start notebook. Temporary solution, remove battery, wait several minutes re-insert battery plug in mains cable, wait about 5 mins then pressing power button starts notebook which them boots up normally. Running Windows 7, 64 bit ultimate version. Recent problems with cordless mice, now on 4th mouse in 4 years, just stop working, batteries replaced. Not all manufacturers provide software updates, have used Microsoft, Logitech, cerulian and latest replacement texet (1 day old). Use HP Advisor to run regular checks and automatically set to maintain Windows updates.
Fan always has been noisy, has been stripped professionally and cleaned but virtually no dust present, that was 18 months ago so not connected with current problem. Plenty of disk space. Recent warning message to replace battery and a extra led has appeared on power button i.e. white led not present before.
Any suggestions?

Try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

Hardware: Pavilion dv7 keypad problems

The "0" key broke off only a few months after I bought this notebook; that was replaced under warranty (the whole keypad).
I have now had 2 more keys break off. There seems to be a quality problem with this keypad.
I use this a lot but I am not a heavy key hitter, I don't mistreat it. I am now working around the broken keys & I'll have to switch to an external keyboard soon. It's now out of warranty but I don't feel confident that replacing the keypad again would be worth the money.
Has anyone else had any similar problems?

Hey hakeae,
I see that you're having a issue with the keyboard.
Can you provide me with the entire model # for the notebook please.
If you're not sure where to get that from you can give me the product # underneath the battery.
Please DO NOT provide me with the serial #.

Pavilion dv7 - heating and fan problems, hinge broken - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS JUNK!!!

This message is targetted towards people looking to purchase an HP Pavilion dv7 series of notebooks. Hopefully they are scanning these boards prior to purchase, something I (very) regretfully did not do.
My system: Intel i7 Q720 @ 1.60GHz, 8GB, ATI mobility radeon HD5650 1GB, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Almost immediately, there were severe overheating problems. Even under normal use (1- 4% CPU, Word, Excel etc.) it became too hot on the left side to keep on my lap. My kids actually burned their hands on that part. I once used it on a table with a vinyl tablecloth. It actually melted the vinyl!
Running any CPU/GPU intensive software causes a shutdown due to overheating, a real nuiscance with playing games or watching video in HD. Just as a test, I ran one computationally intensive program overnight while I kept the machine in my freezer. Even then, it overheated and shutdown! (I have not overclocked; just running my software on the hardware as purchased).
Even in normal use, the fan runs very high, and is very noisy. It is so noisy that I cannot leave it on in my bedroom.
Finally, because of the positioning of the vent, I am certain that the intense heat weakens the left hinge. I am very careful with how I open lids, always with both hands on the lid. Within two months, the left hinge cracked. I argued extensively with HP, but they insisted that it was my fault, and I was charged for the fix.
I'm wondering whether the designers ever turned on (let alone stress tested) these units prior to selling this piece of !@#$.
Added bonus: within 4 months, the hard drive failed, though I can't pin that on HP. While the drive was getting replaced, I went out and bought an Acer. It had better specs than the HP, was cheaper, lighter, and even with the CPU at close to 100 percent, the heat is hardly noticable, and the fan is barely audible.
I bought HP because most of the scientific instruments in our labs is manufactured by HP, and it is truly high quality , high precision equipement, some of it running for over 25 years problem free. From that, I really trusted the HP name, I trusted that their PC division would have equal quality and standards. !#$% was I wrong! I'm glad they're getting out of the PC business.
The only reason I'm keeping this junk is because I took the extended warranty at the store, and under it, after three major repairs, they will get me a new notebook of equal or greater value. I can't wait for that inevitable third breakdown!

The dv 7 eg 4012 is the biggest disapointment:
the hinge brakes, it has an overheating problem!!!
Be prepared to replace it after 12 months or pay the bill for the repairs, hundreds of dollars.
I purchased the laptop directly from the hp online store about a year and a half ago.
First of all I had to install the latest drivers because hp is not making sure it comes with up to date drivers.
To find out what the problem was I had to contact the costumer service about 6 times.
After about 12 months the laptop startet splitting at the left hinge. The HP Costumer Service looked at the photos and told me this, Quote: "We have received the attachment of broken hinges and find it is an user damage hence, the service of the Notebook would be done on chargeable basis."
Before you want to buy a hp laptop, please type into google: broken hinge hp laptop
And you will see hundreds of posts of disappointed costumers.
Even class action lawsuit have been taken out against them.
For me, this was the last time that I invested about a 1000 Euros( bought it in Europe) in a product which needs to be replaced after a year and a half.
Please stay away from this product,
except you have plenty of time and money to keep this machine alive.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC faulty cooling fan needs replacement.

My question is where can I find replacement cooling fans for this product? The problem is I do not know the exact cooling fan I need to replace it and I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction.

System Fan (90B) Error / HP Pavilion dv7-4060us

Hi. I have a Pavilion dv7-4060us notebook, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I had an overheating problem not too long ago that caused my notebook to shut down on it's own. I bought a cooling pad to help with the overheating, which helped. But now, everytime I start up, it gives me a black screen reading "Operating System has found that a cooling fan has stopped working" or something similar. The error code was "System Fan (90B)." How do I get rid of this error message? Post back here or reach my email at [email protected] Thanks.

This PreBoot Diagnostics that is indicating there is an issue with system fan. It would be a case of System Fan not running or running at slower speed than it should...
I would suggest, try doing power drain, by disconecting AC adapter, removing battery and pressing the power button for few secs... if that always you to boot to the OS, that Update the BIOS if not than I would suggest contacting HP Tech Support for getting your unit serviced...

HP Pavilion DV7-3160US Fan issues

I woke up and turned on my HP Pavilion DV7-3160US which is less than 3 months old and it sounds as if the fan is loose and makes an awkward and annoying sound that stops after a few minutes but anytime I move the laptop the sound returns while in movement.
Any ideas or suggestions? Also how long does HP normally take to fix computers? I'd hate to be without my computer for a while.
Thanks.
Tim

Please download and install the driver from the following weblink to resolve the sound issue:

Pavilion Dv7 7023cl: Battery and networking problems.

Hello. My Pavilion Dv7 7023cl has been going downhill for the past few months, but I've been planning on purchasing a new hard drive for it, since my current one is failing. However, I'll get to the point. For some reason, and some how, the battery is locked into place, with the slider pushed all the way right. There is an orange picture of a square with an arrow to the extreme left. I need help fixing this since I need to clean the fan vents, as the computer is reaching 82 degrees Celsius... The second issue is that the internet key is showing an orange light. I've tried resetting the BIOS settings, rebooting, and pressing every single key on my keyboard. Still no luck. The third is that it's overheating often, regardless of if the vents are clean or not. It may possibly be the fan, but... Unfortunately, the computer is not under warranty anymore. Here are the specifications:The processor is an AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon HD graphics. It claims to be 1.9 Ghz, but it always run at 3.0. It's not overclocked.I have 8GBs of R.A.M. with only 2GBs left. Don't ask me how.It scores a 5.9 on the Windows Performance Index, based on the 5.9 rating of my Disk Data Transfer Rate.4 cores, 4 logical processors.

DV 9000 series has same problem. Apparently so do most of their Laptops. My wife and kids have all been burned by haveing the system on their laps. I only use at a table and had to build a special base to raise the system off the table
to allow all vents to be clear 2 inches.
I had them send me restore disks for other reasons. Now my bios says "Not Vista".
If I was you, I would cut my loses and move to an other manufacturer. get the extended warrenty and keep it up to date
Hp is no longer even on my list of possible product purchases. Their products and if you want that, support service, suck.

Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x64 on Video Card

good evening,
I just finished installing Windows 8 x64 from Win7 Pro, I was able to find all drivers for my notebook, but I have problems with the video card settings.
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two video cards, one run by the processor because it seems to me to be a part, and the other normally installed on the PC.
The cards are read by Windows as:
device 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
device 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)
the problem resides in the fact that the device should be only one support per second, or deactivated, as it will not. The video card AMD should be set to 1, and the intel 2. Only if I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the intel card, Windows works as if it were not present any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can not find the card. It 's like the Windows is imposed only use the device 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that under Windows 7 had no problem.
I ask you to help me because I need the performance of the video card for my work.
This question was solved.

Pavilion dv7-4060us Color Printing Problems...

I just bought a new Pavilion dv7-4060us Notebook and am having problems printing in color. I have a Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS Printer that I'm trying to connect to through a wireless network connection. I can find the printer on the network and install the "Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS" driver online just fine. But, after all that, when I try to print, it will only print in Black and White. For some reason it just will not print in color. I've looked through all my "printer properties" and it doesn't even show color options! It's like my computer just doesn't even recognize that the printer can print colors. Like maybe that printer's driver is for some reason not recognizing it as that actual printer?!
I tried deleting the printer and the driver off my computer and installing it using the printer's original CD, but it says it's not compatible with Windows 7 OS. But installing the driver via online and using the CD should basically be the same thing shouldn't it? So that can't be the problem. The "HP printer help website" doesn't really help at all because it's a Xerox printer and not an HP. After reading through some forum posts I figured maybe it was a firewall problem, but wouldn't the firewall stop me from printing all together...not just prevent me from printing color?
Has anyone seen this happen before or heard of anything like this happening? Right when I got the computer I kind of went through and deleted a few things I thought were Crapware, so the only thing I can think of right now is that maybe I accidentally deleted some kind of software program that lets me print color?! Which doesn't really make any sense, so I don't think that's it.
Also, I know it's not a Windows 7 OS problem or my wireless connection because my brother's computer uses Windows 7 and connects through wireless as well, but his can print color just fine. He set his computer up like a year ago so he can't remember how he set it all up or what he did, so he's kind of useless.
As of right now the only thing I can think of to do is try posting on this HP help forum and post on the Xerox Printer help forum and see if anyone has any advice for me. If you have any ideas I'm up for trying anything because I pretty much NEED to be able to print from this computer!! Any information can help out a lot so just let me know. Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem with my dv7-4171us, my husband has the same printer and it print fine on my Xerox but mine only prints in black and white, its very frustrating. I called HP and after 2 hours on the phone they couldnt fix it either.
I'm thinking of doing a full "f11" factory restore. If anyone knows how to fix the color printing problem please let me know.
