Pavilion zv5000 - IDE Adapter for HDD?

I have a Pavilion zv5000 series laptop whose hard drive died several years ago. My dad sent it to a work friend, who figured out that it was the HDD, and I guess he threw the drive away, with an adapter with it. I picked up an IDE drive for it, stupidly assuming that the pins on the drive just fit into the connector on the laptop itself. After a lot of confusion as to why the drive wouldn't fit, a search showed an adapter with a regular IDE connector on one end and a connector similar to the one on the laptop on the other. I'm asking whether it is true that I need one, even though I don't see any other way for it to connect.
Also, four pins are isolated from the main pins on the drive. The old Molex connector also had four pins. Are these the power pins, and does the adapter accomodate these too? There doesn't seem to be any other connector on the laptop. Again, I just want to confirm this and that I didn't just buy the wrong thing for this laptop.
So, is the adapter what I'm looking for?

Yes I used to own a zv5000 and I can confirm there was a black plastic connector that went over the brass IDE pins on the hard drive to allow connection to the motherboard.

  • Z60m Ultrabay Adapter for HDD

    Hello all,
    i'm looking for an Ultrabay adapter for HDD to extend my Z60m-system.
    At the lenovo-website, I found an adapter that sould, according to the description, fit into my system.
    Ultrabay Adapter
    Has anyone experience with this model?
    My second question is:  What is the maximum HDD-size (GB) that can I use there?
    In the specifications of the Z60-models, I found the information, that the system is limited to a maximum HDD-capacity of 100GB, or did I misunderstand that?
    Hard drive features:
    Standard 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, or 100GB hard drive sizes
    Specifications Z60
    Do I have to consider this restriction at the "primary HDD-Slot" AND the Ultrabay-HDD-Slot ?
    Thank you.

    the Z60 uses SATA hdd, so anything in 2.5 inch and 9.5 mm thickness format is okay, currently 640 gig is the largest. 
    Lenovo's figure are based on the largest hdd that was available when they released the machine, they don't update these value when new parts come out.

    Actually, it is entirely accurate.  Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem.  I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters.  I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side.  The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid!  I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread.  It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

    Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors.  Doing that is incorrect.

  • AC adapter for PX1269E-1G50 external HDD

    Hi all,
    I have lost the AC adapter for the PX1269E-1G50 external HDD and would like to buy a new one. Does anyone know what the part number is for this adapter, and where to buy it?
    Thanks

    It is not easy to get this info. Have you maybe users manuals or some other document?
    Maybe you can find this info there.
    By the way: check the power supply adapter info and maybe you can use some universal one.

  • Pavilion zv5000: Won't Power up with/without battery installed.

    Prod. Name: hp Pavilion zv5000 (has a small sticker stating: zv5360us, though).
    This notebook's owner is my sister. She said to me that she found some ants walking through/on it a few times and she took them out of the way by using a small piece of clean cloth. The last time that happenned it gave her trouble to turn it on. After that instance it never turned on again.
    After some days she took it to CompUSA for a diagnostic but they told her it was damaged beyond repair; the Power Supply never got back from the place...
    I took it home to check it further and am forced to use another hp notebook's Power Supply which doesn't give as much power out as the original one. After cleaning/inspecting the outside and some inner parts that can be seen when removing the batt., the RAM module & HDD I was satisfied as to the clean status and plugged the unit for charging the batt. for ~30 mins & pressed the power button. The blue leds that I guess are supposed to lit go on but for a couple of seconds only. It has been proved that it doesn't matter how long I leave the batt. to take a charge it won't help.
    Since you already know what I've done & what the unit has gone through I would like to know if resitting the CPU might help? Should I try to disassemle the unit completely for cleaning & inspection?
    I used to be a computer electronic technician at DEC, so I know much about what I pretend to do.
    What are your thoughts and tips as to how to proceed from here?, thanks!
    PS. I already resitted the RAM module after inspecting the contacts.

    I've had a trouble lifting the metal structure over the main board, I guess it's attached at the other side (actually the top side) from under the keyboard's underside.
    How to detach the keyboard on this model? Is it really the keyboard that must be removed or it's enough with some plastic strips around it?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    PS. I already discovered that the ants did really a mess in there; until now I've cleaned almost all surfaces suspecting a lot of interference/overload was happening there.

  • Apple dvi to video adapter for macpro working?

    hallo,
    is it possible to use the adapter for the geforce 7300 in the macpro for pal video output? will it work? the apple store lists the adapter only for g5 and mini, but i see no reason, why it shoud not work with the gforce...
    any idea? thank you.

    macpro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have wondered about that G5 support since others have had bad luck with Nvidia boards and the video adapter. e.g. it doesn't work with the 7800GT, which is a G5 board. All current ATI cards on their web-site show support for it but the MacPro card is not on ATI's site.
    The adapter seems to have disappeared from the displays section of the Apple Store.
    Another option is a VGA to video adapter

    It costs more, but does a lot more, and should work with any video card.

  • AC Adapter for T430 -- which FRU to choose

    I just purchased an extra adapater for my T430, as well as a docking station.  I used the wizard on the site to select the ac adapater, but noticed that the FRU/Part Number differs from the one that came with the laptop.  All three adapaters (the one that came with the laptop, the extra one I got from Lenovo, and the one that came with the dock station), all have similar output voltages (20V at 4.5A), but the input voltages vary slightly (the original one is 1.2A input at 50/60hz, whereas the two other ones are rated at 1.5A at 50/60hz.  Is this slight difference a concern?
    I mainly don't want to risk burning out the laptop.  But again, these are the adapaters that were suggested by Lenovo's site.  They all output the same amount (the 20V at 4.5A).
    Should I be concerned.  I cannot seem to find a Lenovo branded AC adapater that exactly matches the FRU / Part number of the one that came with my computer.  Does that FRU maybe indiciate that it was bundled with a computer and NOT sold separately as an additional adapater.
    Suggestions, ideas, opinions?  Am I ok to use the other adapaters that I purchased even though the input rating is slightly higher and the FRU/Part numbers are different?  (All power adapaters are the 90W models, which my computer requires since i have the NVidia NVS Quadro video card with nVidia Optimus technology).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As long as you have a genuine Lenovo 90W (20V x 4.5A) adapter you should  be fine. I don't know why the input current draws differ. It may be that the circuitry in one is more efficient than in the other. Nevertheless what's important is the output voltage and current (or wattage) rating,
    Many people use adapters from their previous ThinkPad as an extra adapter for their new one. People in office environments often use each other's adapters, either intentionally or by accident. This sort of interchangeability is common. If it caused damage to ThinkPads then that too would be a common situation and there would be warnings about the risk of swapping adapters. I've never seen either.
    Incidentally, even a smaller 65W adapter will power your T430 under most circumstances. But it's simply not powerful enough to power your T430 under all circumstances, e.g. if you're running CPU/GPU intensive work while watching a DVD and charging the battery, all at the same time.

  • Which power adapter for Europe

    I will be visiting Russia soon and I would need a power adapter for both my macbook pro and my iphone, any idea of what is needed? Thanks!

    "but what about my digital camera batteries? This is no use to charge my batteries... I am also confuse with the adapter/converter required, what is the difference? "
    Most digital cameras come with a universal power adapter (100-240V, 50-60Hz) and can be used anywhere. To be sure, check the power adapter that came with your camera. The AV power input will be marked on the adapter. Depending upon where you purchased the camera, the AC prong configuration will change. If it was purchased in the US, you can use the same AC prong adapter that works with the MBP and iPhone.
    If you have a charger specifically for your camera batteries, it probably does not have a universal power adapter - you can check the markings to be sure. Accordingly, the easiest thing to do is to bring a supply of batteries with you. If you live in the US, "good" batteries are cheaper there than anywhere else. If you wait until you get to Russia, you'll find that good batteries are very expensive, and the cheap batteries are very bad.

  • Express card adapter for NI Express Card 8360

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find a USB or Firewire or eSATA or PCMICIA to express card adapter for my laptop (DELL Latitude E6400) to connect an NI Express card 8360.
    I have searched for adapters but they are all based on USB2.0 technology but the link below seems to suggest that USB based adapters wont work.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B5E9398279914984862574F700049847 
    I was wondering if any of you had the same issue and got it to work one way or the other?  
    The idea is to use the express card to communicate to a NI PXI-1033 PXI rack.
    thanks and regards,

    Hi ace,
    There isn't really anything I can add to this issue except to echo what it said in that link. NI don't manufacture such adapters so I can't recommend any, hopefully someone else has had some experience with this and can offer some advice on the issue.
