Pavilion dv8t-1100

Does anyone know where I can buy the rf coaxial cable adapter connector needed to connect my built-in tv tuner to a coaxial cable so I can get a tv signal? HP has no info that I can find, nor any place to purchase one. Thanks.

Hi,
Are you talking about port #6 on the following image ?
It uses standard coax antenna cable or you can use the following part #
With F-PAL jack part # 482900-002
With PAL jack part # 482900-001
You can buy from the following store or use part # to buy elsewhere such as eBay:

HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 Hard Drive Diagnostic failure - but runs fine?

I have a HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) that seems to run just fine. On a whim, I ran the pre-boot diagnostic check and received the following error code that the hard drive test had failed.
Q7NK1R-52M62E-XD002J-60WW03
Nothing in my PC's performance prompted me to run the diagnostic test, I simply ran it as a double check for the heck of it.
Is this something to be worried about? Of course an error code is always something to look into but since the PC seems to be running just fine is this a true error or simply a nuisance that should be ignored?
I can not remember making any signficant changes lately to the installed software and have made no changes to the hardware at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would resaet (not reset) the HDD or you may want to try this first:

Wi-Fi adapter replacement for HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO laptop

I have an HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC laptop. It seems as though the Wi-Fi is going out. After a while I the Wi-Fi connectivity stops functioning and I have to plug in an EitherNet cable to continue on-line. So how do I find out what the part number of the machine is, and where do I order a new one? Thanks.

Hi @MikeatHPformum
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In answer to your questions about the WLAN adapter and how to order a replacement, take a look at the attached serivce manual for the notebook family. HP Pavilion dv8 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
On page 51 of 148, or if you prefer page 4-17, the section on the WLAN adapter starts and shows the supported part numbers, as well as the replacement procedure.
And to order the parts check out this page.

How to disable Quick Launch on Pavilion dv8t-1100

The Treble keeps fluctuating, and the wireless connection keeps randomly turning off. I've already tried disabling it through msconfig, and uninstalling the drivers. No dice. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. I honestly don't care if my warranty is voided for opening my computer.

i have the same exact computer. i just got it today, and the same thing with the same buttons has been happening to me. this is so evil.

Pavilion dv8t 1100 with possible corrupted hard drive

I get a "hard drive corrupted" message when I try to back up my notebook. the messages bascially says that some files were skipped due to corruption. The skipped files are all on the c drive and are all the documents/music/photos/etc.
When I run the hard drive test through the diagnostics menu at start up, it says there are no issues.
Of course this computer warranty has recently expired, so I am trying to determine the next steps.
Ideas? I am able, to transfer files via window's explorer to my seagate back up, so am in the process of doing so, but need to fix the problem.
Thanks.

once it is scheduled, restart the PC, it will run before Windows loads, do not interrupt the chkdsk once it starts.

Is it possible to have 2 hard drives, one base stock model, and one new ssd in the dv8t-1100?

I am currently thinking of upgrading my laptop. I have an old DirectX 10 card and no SSD. I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade those items on the HP Pavilion dv8t-1100. Preferably, since this is an 18.4'' notebook, I would like to keep the HDD it came with as data storage, and install a modestly sized SSD for all the program data. If the video card can be upgraded to a DirectX 11 compatible card, that would be awesome too.

I don't think that you can upgrade the graphics chip. You will have to replace the motherboard with a better graphics in it (if any is compatible). As an 18" inch laptop it could have a secondary hard drive bay but a solid drive may not be compatible with it (BIOS) anyway.

Malfunction of media smart and sound on HP Pavilion dv8t entertainment PC

I have an HP pavilion dv8t-1100 entertainment PC with Windows 7 64 Bit operating system.
I have this peculiar problem which is affecting the efficiency of the PC.
The volume and bass and treble volumes just pops up once in a while intermittently even though no sound media is active. When it does that it turns off blue tooth and wireless automatically on and off.
It also temporarily takes control of the PC and interrupts other applications from running for brief periods .
At first it gave a message that 'internet radio is turned on but not discoverable' I have owned the PC for about two years now. It is now getting worse.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,
Unless you've already done this, try downloading and installing the firmware update for this particular issue from the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-96360-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

Pavilion dv8t 1200 - simple pass/digital persona software won't install

Howdy,
Windows 7 Home Premimum 64 bit
Intel Core i7 Q720 @1.60GHz
Pavilion dv8t - 1200 Notebook PC
The reader worked fine for the first few months/year, however it then only started working for signing in & occasionaly for sites & gTalk. I was cool with that...annoyed, but cool. Oh, it also didn't work to sign in if I had to sign in again after the screen saver came up or if the machine went into hybernate.
Today I decided to see if there was an update or if I could get it working for something other than signing in. After installing what was most likely the wrong package, I uninstalled it through the Program Manager.
I then shut down the machine, ran CCleaner (there were digital persona errors removed...about 8) & went to install sp50048 which I believe is the correct one for my machine.
During the install it tells me the folder/files already exist, (even though I uninstalled it) & ithey do, then at the instal phase "Registering Modules" I receive the following error:
Error 1722
InstallDPPassFilter_x64.4D0EAAF1_2D33_4FFF_AA08_6...
And then in rolls it back.
I turned off the biometric devices in the control panel, ran CCleaner again, shut the machine down completely, tried installing again & had the same issue.
I turned the biometrics on in the control panel & recieve this message:
"Biometric devices are turned on, however I'm told “Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers.”
I have tried a few methods from 'solved' under both simple pass & digital persona
Thank you all for reading & attempting to help.

Howdy,
Thank you for your advice, however it did not work out.
Addressing each point in succession:
I can not get Digital Persona to install, therefore I can not interact with it hence none of the steps in the Setup and Use HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader were available to moi.
Troubleshoot a Fingerprint Reader did not solve the issue, however I did go through the steps there so I shall describe my results in an effort to see if it helps home in on the problem.
All files used to update were pulled from the hp.com site using my Product Number.
Update the BIOS - BIOS was up to date
Enable Biometric Support (in BIOS) - Following the instructions it appears mine is always in the state: Enable
Check for Windows Support - Validity Sensor appears under Biometric Devices in the Device Manager
Update the Device Driver - (Had deleted the driver previously, so installed & updated) - Updated/Installed
Update the Access Manager - Attempted to install Digital Persona 5.1.0.175 A, but again during the install it gave me the same error (as my original post describes) & did not install.
As a final note, Windows does not see the reader in the Control Panel (large icons) Biometric devices even though it is turned on.
The reader worked fine before I tried to update it to a newer version & I still believe I installed an incorrect version of the Simple Pass software.

Will a HP-OW120F13 Power supply work with a DV7T-7000? It is from a DV8T-1100

I just purchased a DV7T-7000 to replace my old DV8T-1100. I had purchased an extra power supply for when I travel. The power supply is a HP-OW120F13 Replacement spare part # 463953-001. The output on it is 18.5V 120W. The power supply that came with the DV7T-7000 has a output of 19.5V 6.15A.
Can I use this power supply with the DV7T-7000? The plug to the laptop is the same.

Hi @dfuerstenau ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Pavilion DV8T stuck on disk 2 during recovery

Hey everybody,
I purchased the computer two years ago, when I tried to make recovery disks I got an error and was told from HP I needed a new set of DVDs which I wasted around 40 to 50 dollars anyways short story told, HP said they were going to send me recovery disks and I didn't receive anything.
2 years later the OS wouldn't load due to a corrupted file, I paid for the recovery disks, it loads disk 1 and when prompted to install disk 2 it just hangs. I've tried around 5 to 8 times in the last couple weeks with no success.
I also deleted all partitions, did a low level format, and tried again with no success, I tried to partition the drive with fat 32 and ntsf with no success, also tried to wipe the hard drive again and used the cyberplayer DVD disk HP recommends to use for wiped hard drives but also didn't work. HDD and memory tests passed
I spoke with HP and they answer was to send me another set of recovery disks which I know it will be useless since the first time I received 2 sets and both of them failed.
I was able to install my own version of windows 7 but half of the drivers don't work and HP doesn't even bitter to post the correct drivers/software on their support web page.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I recently upgraded my dv8t to Windows 8 Pro (using the built-in disc drive). It installed fine and had no errors with installation. After using Windows 8, I decided to try to use my recovery partition (which I verified is still on the disk drive) but F11 failed. Given I spent close to $1900 on this dv8t entertainment notebook, I figured I would pay the $12 to order this recovery set, directly from HP.
Yesterday I received the CD set. The CDs arrived in prestine condition, no scratches or cracks of any kind on the set. So I turned on my notebook, and it booted into Windows 8. I then inserted Disc 1 of the set into the drive, and then rebooted from the sign-in screen.
Disc 1 (Volume label: BOOT) was detected and proceeded to launch. First, it wiped my hard disk and then it copied the files. I verified it was reading because I can feel the drive spinning along with the LED light flashing as it read the disc.
Next, it requested Disc 2 (Volume label: DISC1). I then inserted disc 2 and confirmed that the optical drive detected the disc as the drive spun and the LED light was visable. I verified this by observing the HDD & optical drive LEDs which never illuminated after that. I waited for nearly 45 minutes after that and there was no activity from the system. I even ejected & re-inserted the media to see it the drive would detect the disc upon auto-run.
I performed some research online and found this forumn which confirms everything I have experienced. I believe the user in this forumn who received multiple replacement sets by mail and experienced the issue repeatedly.
Though my notebook is out of warranty (1-year warranty), I decided to call HP support and inform them of the issues with the disc media I received. After being on hold, I spoke to a "technician", one of those outsourced customer service representatives from India that actually call themselves "technicians". So I explained the issue with the discs, known issue as it's reported in this forumn, my troubleshooting (I'm a helpdesk technician myself), and my results. The technician kept saying I would have to purchase a support plan for support as it may be a issue with my hard drive or optical drive... I asked him "if it was an issue with the hard drive, how did Windows 8 launch every time prior using your recovery set?" He then said it was my optical drive. I asked him "if it was an issue with my optical drive, how did it read disc 1?" Unable to answer my questions he tried to sell me a support plan. I asked several times to speak to a more qualified technician. He would tell me "let me check with my resources" and then put me on a brief hold. Unable to allow me to talk to anyone, I asked for a refund on the faulty authored recovery media. He then said he was going to transfer me to the correct department, and then guess what... he hung up on me.
***Note to HP - I believe that the recovery media set needs to personally be evaluated and tested by HP as I do not believe end users are using defective or scratched media for this recovery disc set. I believe the issue to be either a programming error on either Disc 1, or maybe even Disc 2's volume label being named DISC1.
For your convenience, I am listing the HP part numbers for the faulty authored media set which should be tested on a dv8t-1000 notebook. If you need a product number for the notebook it is: NQ226AV
Media set part numbers:
HP PART#: 588725-001
HP PART#: 592889-B22
HP PART#: 588725-001-CD1
Individual disc part numbers:
Disk 1 of 2 - 588726-001
Disk 2 of 2 - 588727-001
Please look into this and e-mail me. If you fail to respond with a resolution to this post, then I am buying Sony or other brands moving forward. I encourage anyone else who reads this thread the same.

HP Pavilion dv8t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - DOWN ARROW KEY NOT WORKING

Down arrow key doesn't work.
It has to be "warmed -up" by holding it down for like 15-20mins and then it intermittently works.
Suspect a pinched keyboard circuitry....
ANY SOLUTIONS WELCOME
Regards
-Ash-

The easiest solution would be to buy a replacement keyboard or use an external USB keyboard when you need to use the arrow keys. You can find a used keyboard on eBay pretty cheap these days. I just picked one up for a HP G50 for a mere $8 after shipping. Generally there is no way to fix these keyboards if there is a problem in the ribbon cables. Good luck!

Pavilion dv8 1100 - equalizer appears abruptly on screen disconnecting internet - freezing other aps

while on internet, I will have a volume control or equalizer bar abruptly appear across the screen that disconnects the internet and locks out other applications. It reflects "treble" or "base" - which ever is highlighted on the audio bar across the bar on the key board. I went on-line and downloaded audio drivers that did nothing to correct the problem.

Hi,
Assuming you are using Windows 7 ( 32bit or 64bit ) download and apply the Firmware update for Quick Launch Buttons on the link below.

Battery for DV5 entertainment 1100-series

Hi everybody,
I've bought a pavilion DV5 1100-series for over 1 year, the battery does no longer work (No more power: impossible to boot/run with the battery, the power line must be used). No warranty, then I have to buy a new one.
I find 2 batteries, which suit to such a pavilion DV5 1100-series:
- HP 6-cell primary battery (EV06) KS524AA
it seems to be the same type as the one delivered with my notebook, 143 CHF today and 1 year warranty on hpstore switzerland
- HP 6-cell extended-life battery (MU06) WD548AA
3 years warranty and cheaper (119 CHF) as the previous one
Can anyone tell me, which are the other differences between the 2 batteries, that could explain the price (the one with a longer warranty is cheaper as the another) ?
Thanks for your advices
Céline

According to HP there are only 2 options for Batteries currently
http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/HP_NB_Battery_Compatibility_Chart.pdf
MU06 (6 cell) Extended Life (high capacity)
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ie/en/ho/WF06c/A1-329290-329223-329260-329260-4084741-4084742.html
MU09 ( cell) Extended life (high capacity)
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ie/en/ho/WF06c/A1-329290-329223-329260-329260-4084955-4085054.html
EV06 is the standard battery that was shipped with the laptop when new., the MU06 is better and designed with newer technologies and will have more run time.
MU09 will have more run time than the MU06

Audio Sliders on dv8t

Out of no where the Bass slider shows up on my screen with no contact any near where the sliders are! Also does it when in Treble mode. I tried wiping it off! Even with no media playing also! 2 week old dv8, windows 7 premium, all HP & windows updates I can find installed! Any Ideas?

Please see the above post for a possible solution from me. That's bizarre that it just started doing it out of the blue. I have the exact same laptop, I hope mine doesn't start doing this. (touch wood)
I wonder if it's related to an update that came in from Microsoft. A new update can cause software conflicts with application files in a computer. It also may be conflicting with an HP update to one of the drivers in the laptop.
I have my update manager set up manually. The updates come in and I pick the ones that I want and when something strange starts to happen I can go back to an earlier date in the recovery manager when the laptop was working properly and restore the laptop to a point where it was working. Then I note what has changed in the update file and I can assume that it was the problem.
The people in the other post are convinced that the hardware is at fault and not the software, but if all else fails you can disable the driver from "msconfig" or just uninstall it from "programs and features" in the control manager. You can always reinstall it from "SwSetup" in drive "C". The offending softare is simply labeled "HP tone control".
Good luck with this.

Hi,
Your laptop supports only SATA II connection so it's a bit pointless to buy any SATA III SSD as they will work as SATA II drives. The service manual says that DM4 laptops support 160GB solid state drives so any SSD should work as I don't think that the capacity is a limit. OCZ, Intel, Corsair and some others have good drives so pick one of the SATA II series of these manufacturers. I have seen some cases that a SATA III SSD didn't work but a SATA II one did on older laptops. Perhaps the newest SATA controllers and older BIOSes might cause some compatibility issues..
