Pavilion elite m9040n mobo issue This is for hp expert day

I have a elite m9040n, upgraded to Win7.Model # GN554AAR#ABA
Power supply died. I thought about canablizing it for parts, but then got new power suppy.
I had removed video card and hard drives. Can not find photo I had taken of orginial setup.
Now there is a cable from the front panel; I can't figure out where to attach it. It come from the front as two seperate white cables; they attach to a white component, which has 10 holes for pins. There are also ten notches, one next to each hole.
I can not find any place on mobo to re-attach this. I have also looked at other locations near mobo. I can't see where this belongs.
I have treid to trace cables to front. it looks like the are for S-video and compnnent.
Any ideas will help.
Thanks for your efforts.

Try some of this documentation:
Go to your m9040n Product Home page.
Click on Troubleshooting | How To on the top menu.
Then click o Adding / Replacing hardware.
All those links should help you, along with videos.
Hope that helps…

HP Pavilion Elite m9040n Desktop and Fire Wire 1394

I have the above mentioned Desktop. It has a 1394 plugin on the front of case. Does the Pavilion come with all the software to make fire wire work? I backed up my hard drive onto an Toshiba external disk with a USB cable the other day and it took 6 hours. Isn't fire wire suppost to transfer data faster than a USB cable? Is there any special things I need to know when buying fire wire 1394.
I was looking on the internet the other day and they showed fire wire with 4 and 6 pins. Looking into the hole on my computer it only looks like 3 pins?
Thanks

Rick, welcome to the forum.
There is no software necessary for Firewire (IEEE 1394a). The driver is installed with the OS.
Here is the Motherboard Specifictions page for the computer. It only shows that there is a Firewire (IEEE 1394a) port (# 11) in the Back I/O ports.
Here is an article that shows the comparison of speed of Firewire vs USB. Firewire was developed by Apple.
I hope this information answers your questions.

HP Pavilion Elite M9040N - Putting in a better Graphics Card

Hi,I've been searching for a even better Graphics Card than what I have in my computer right now.It seems that when I play the new updated Train Simulator 2015,my graphics can't keep up with the games graphics which they reccommend the Graphics Card 512MB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only) Iam trying to figure out which Card would be in the best to get and also be in mid price range or for a good deal.If anybody knows of a Graphics Card that I could upgrade from the current Nvidia Zotac GT 520 card that I have in my CPU already.I'd be greatful for anyone's opinion on this,Thank's! :-)

I have some sad news for you. The m9040n is below the minimums required for gameplay of Trainz 2015.
Your system has a 2.4Ghz processor, min is 2.8Ghz, recommended is an I-5 at 3.4Ghz.
The Zotac GT520 1GB 64bit card is too weak, but no sense upgrading the card. You do not the CPU power.
If your a steam internet sourced user, your ISP speed can be an added problem.  DSL is a no-play zone.

NVidia Graphics Card and HP Pavilion Elite m9040n

I am looking to replace the Graphics card from the NVidia GeForce 8400 GS to something as current as possible. Was looking at the NVidia GTX 480 but I don't think it is compatible with the model.
Can anyone confirm and/or make a suggestion?

How to replace a video card.
So look at the GTS 260. It's an excellent card. Look for a modular 600 watt power supply.
The ATI Radeon 5830 is also an excellent card. However, I have seen where some older PCs work not work with the newer ATI cards.
These high powered video cards will generate some heat so be prepared to deal with that issue.
What is hotter, a 100 watt light bulb or a 300 watt light bulb?

Is there a known problem with the iPhone 4 personal hotspot? I have not been able to use this feature for about 3 days with any of my other idevices - it does not come up as available.

My iphone 4 never had a problem with the personel hotspot until 2-3 days ago .
Now when I turn the hotspot on none of my other i-devices can see it. I have tried the turn on/off thing and I have tried the complete turn off holding the 2 buttons on both the phone and the other devices (ipad x 2 and ipods x 3). This is very frustrating.
Oh and I have spoken to my carrier it is not them.
Any suggestions?

Setting >> General >> Cellular >> Cellular Data Network >> Reset Setting
Restart (hold on/off button >> slide to power off)
I got same prob after update ios 6.1 (not sure during update to 6.0.1) iphone 5

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC power on/start windows issue

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC, Windows 7 Pro. When powered on (using the power switch), the blue power light and amber hard drive lights on the front illuminate, but monitor shows no signal and the keyboard lights do not come on. F10 on the keyboard doesn't bring anything up on the screen either. Sounds like there is hard drive activity, but the amber light does not flash. If I put a bootable dvd in the drive, it appears to read the dvd, but does not boot from it (nothing appears on the monitor.) Monitor, keyboard and mouse have been verified operational. Hard drive data appears to be intact and have verified 12v and 5v operational from power supply. Haven't found a place to verify 3v power. Depressing the power switch does not turn the computer off, only way is to unplug the power cord. This sympton happened a couple of weeks ago, but after several power cycles, it booted fine and worked for a while. Not this time, though.

HI JIMINFL:
How was your weekend, I hope it was super!
I understand that when you boot up, you get a blank screen. You also said that you know the keyboard, mouse and monitor are working. I am sending you a link to a document on "Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer" click here. I am also sending "HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" click here to test for hardware failures. Please let me know the outcome.

I need help to replace my power supply for the hp pavilion elite m9510f

This computer has given me many problems since I bought it in '09. From graphic card fan issues, a hard drive crash, and now the power supply has failed.
I did the blow dryer trick but it still ends up breaking a week later. I want to know what new power supply should I buy. One that will be able to fit in the hp pavilion elite m9510f and is an upgrade to the 350w that it has. Maybe somthing under 60-70 dollars if possible. Thanks for any help.

It appears to be a normal case and motherboard. A normal ATX supply should work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=50001333&IsNodeId=1&Description=Computer...
Just an example of what is availble, but most any should work as long the physical dimensions match the one installed now.

That depends on what type of connection your display has and whether or not your PC has a video card used for display or if you are using the onboard video outputs.
Do you really mean PC monitor ( the old school kind) or did you mean to say LCD display (thin flat screens) instead?
Use the setup poster.

TS2755 I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. It has been this way for over a year with no issues. After and update on of the lines started getting text messages from all 3 phones. We fixed the send and receive and it was fixed. It is doing it again.

I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.

Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

PO number and material issued against this PO for subcontracting

How to know the link in between the PO number and material issued against this PO for subcontracting.
I have checked that PO history is not getting updated.
Thanks,

Hi,
We have 2 different scenarios where you can post a goods issue to Subcontract Venodrs.
Scenarios 1: You can post the goods issue against a subcontrac vendor with out referencing the Subcon PO from ME2O, at this stage we will be knowing what is the stock at subcontract vendor but we will not be knowing the issues against which and how much Quantities are posted.
So when we are post goods receipt, then we will come to know the consuption quantities.
Scenario: 2, If we use the delivery concept then we can track the goods issues against the subcon POs.
If you really keen to track the material issued to Subcon vendor against a PO so better use with delivery.
Thansk,
Satya.

Maximum hard drive size for HP Pavilion Elite e2980t? I put in a 3TB, but it shows up as 800GB

I installed a 3TB drive, but it shows up in the bios as 800GB. What is the maximum supported size?
I suspect that the HP Pavilion Elite e2980t cannot accept more than an 800 GB drive. This is consistent with the product selection choices that are available to purchasers.
Can anyone confirm?
Are there a set of drivers I can install that would work around this limitation?

Hi:
If you are using the drive as a boot drive, your PC probably does not have a UEFI BIOS, so it can't recognize all 3 TB.
If you are using it as a data drive, go into the Windows disk management tool, format the drive GPT, and windows should be able to see and use all 3 TB.
Please see this white paper regarding UEFI & GPT.
While this applies to business desktops it is also relevant to consumer desktops as well.
