Possible to install fire wire card on Envy j157cl laptop

I have a HP Envy 17 j157cl laptop that I plan to use as adedicated video editing platform. The only problem is that it doesnot have an I.link (hot wire) connector, only usb connectors. I have found a cable with USB terminal at one end and fire wire at the other. will this work? On the other hand, is there a fire wire board (card) than can be installed in the Envy 17?. The clips that I need to process now are in tape and can only be transferd to the computer via a vidio8 SOny vIdeocamera model DCR-TRV 520.

No laptops now just have no internal slots for expansion. There used to be a product called a Dazzle Video studio. I looked around for it but it seems to be out of production. It connected via usb but had S-Video component video, and firewire video input. It is a fairly big thing that looks a bit like a docking station. Have you tried the usb to firewire cable? Some people say those work other say they do not. I never tried one. I actually keep an old laptop with firewire around just for video capture from my older DV camera. Does your video camera also have an RCA or S-video output port? If so you can use this:

My machine is a lenovo Ideacenter C340 All in one Desktop.
Thanks

hi joejee,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm afraid that this is not possible, The system's Mainboard is much of a Laptop design where Upgrade is very limited.

It is possible to install a graphics card for the hp touchsmart iq504 series?

Hey folks I've had my pc for awhile now. According to the datasheet it saids that a graphics card can be upgraded but the power supply may need to also be upgraded check with the company of the graphics card. So i tried email hp but no answer on the question. Im thinking of trying to get either a ati radion 4270 512 mb card or nvida if its allowed. Mostly from online search through google many folks say its upgradeable but when gaming it acts more like a laptop their for performance is horrible. Is this true? I've tried to install games on my laptop that has a radion hd 4250 graphics card but gaming just doesnt add up the same as a desktop. So if anybody has some opinions or tips that could help me in area would gladly appreciate it.
Thanks hp fan gmoney38

The graphics in the IQ5xx series can not be upgraded in the way you're thinking, the Touchsmart line does indeed resemble a laptop more than a desktop.
In general the opinion is that it is not worth persuing a graphics update for these products.

Possible to install old ram cards?

In our home there were 2 iMacs where the memory cards can be removed from the bottom. My computer went in for repair as the screen went white with purple lines. They said for me to get a new computer.This was not an Apple store as there isn't one here. Hmmm, unsure if the diagnosis was right.. Anyway, can I take out the old 2 ram cards from my old Imac computer and put them into the other one that is the same (there are slots available). Will adding the cards from my past computer as it has stuff on them muck up the computer they go in to?

So it won't muck up what is on the existing computer as it is added?
It will, if the RAM specifications are different.
What speed is the RAM from the older iMac and what model is your newer iMac...?

Is really not possible to install a WIFI card in my Quad?

I am being told that the only way to insall a WIFI card/upgrade kit in my Quad G5 is to take it in to a certified tech. Being overseas right now limits that option. Can I not just take the screwdriver to it and follow a visual manual(link need here if you know of one) and put that puppy in there? I am of the impression that i have to remove the whole CPU unit to get behind there to the location on the mother board where it is to slot in.
Whats the real scoop- is this just being said to rack up the $ or is there some special tool that is needed or is it too delicate an operation?
Thank you,

Is it possible to install a 3G SIM card reader to Satellite M645-S4070

Hi there!
I have Satellite M645-S4070 laptop with serial no. YA153766K.
It is WiMAX ready and also has a SIM card slot but does not have a SIM card reader.
I took a slight look inside and it does have something that has "3G" written on it.
Would it be possible to install a SIM card reader to my laptop?
I know, that I could also use a 3G USB modem but it would be a lot more convenient to get connection without additional devices around my laptop.
Thanks!
Taros

Hi
As far as I know there are models which supports 3G or Intel 4G WiMAX
Your unit supports 4G (WiMAX)
Im not quite sure if its possible to upgrade this unit with an 3G module but if it would be possible, this needs to be done by Toshiba authorized service technician.
By the way: your notebook belongs to the Toshiba US series and was released for the US market therefore I recommend checking the Toshiba US forum:

Fire wire hub ?

Hi there,
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to buy fire wire hubs ...I can't find them in this "soccer country" (note that I did not say Suc...!)
I know that many will be tempted to say that we need not hubs when you can have long chains and connect devices directly to each other.
Unfortunately, many devices such as my G4 PWBook, a few of my "portable" external drives, have only one fire wire port (400). On the PWB there is one 800 on which I can plug in only certain type of devices.
In the "FCP world" we hear everyday that it is highly recommended to use external sources to store media. If I want to use Isight to chat I can't have any other 400 fire wire device pluged in at the same time. Hence my question.
Thanks in advance

Connecting AirPort Express using Fire Wire

Hi, can't see this posted anywhere else. Have been running my MacBook Pro off my AirPort Express quite happily for some time. However recently purchased a Sonos S5 that needs to connect to my wireless router via ethernet. Only problem is the Airport Exp. only has the one ethernet port. So figured I could use the FireWire connection for the Airport/Modem and then the ethernet for the Airport/Sonos.
Only problem is I need to configure the FireWire in System Preferences and despite my attempts at guessing configuration I have no idea what I am actually doing. Not sure if it's an easy answer, but if anyone can help with config I would be very grateful.

Hi, thanks for the response and sorry that I am unclear - not my area of specialty.
Currently I have my airport express router that connects to my modem via ethernet.
I purchased a sonos unit that streams music over the internet and plays it through the unit. It uses its own base station/router to connect to my wireless network so the main unit then becomes wireless and I can move it any where in my house.
As I understand this base unit needs to connect into my router via ethernet. The problem is the Airport Express has one ethernet port and one fire wire port. I was hoping to get around this by using the fire wire to connect to my modem, and then that would leave the ethernet port free for the Sonos base unit.
In case I have just been confusing again the manual for the Sonos refers to the ethernet connection 'use category 5 ethernet cable to connect to a router, computer or additional network device'
This might not be possible, just assumed fire wire would work but no idea how to configure. Possibly it will involve me having to buy a hub (or extreme) to get multiple ethernet ports.
Thanks for your help - I am (obviously) lost here so any advice is great!!

Problems using FW-7344 with Fire Wire Video Cameras

Is it a bad idea to use the FW-7344 with other devices on the same fire wire bus?
We are trying to use an FW-7344 with a fire wire video camera but we tend to get packet errors that force a reset of the controller. We suspect that the problem is related with the camera and controller being on the same fire wire bus.
We instantly see problems when we connect two FW7344s and one video camera on the same fire wire card.

The NIMax program reads Packet Error. I can't recall the first error that our program reads, but I think it typically says something about not being able to communicate return values from the controller to the host computer.
This makes me think that the NI driver on the host does not retry after failing to get return data from the controller. This assumption may be valid with the PCI version, but probably is not with the FireWire version.
It only takes one camera for this problem to happen, but the problem is intermittent.

Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

Installing the 3 Port Lacie Fire Wire PCI Card

Hello all
After acquiring 2 external Lacie Fire Wire HD's, and wanting to have the ability to connect my Camcorder as well, (without dazzie chaining everything), I decided to get the Lacie 3 Port Fire Wire PCI Card:
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10173
It's my understanding that this will work fine in my 1.8 Single Processsor G5 Desktop.
Correct?
It's my understanding that the Card will be Plug n Play - no drivers neccessary
Correct?
It's my understanding that this will now enable me to select any of the 3 devices plugged into the 3 port card, without having to depend on ONE of them being turned on (as in dazzie chaining them)
Correct?
This will also enable me to continue the use of the other 2 Fire Wire Ports built into the rear of the G5 motherboard?
Is there anything else I need to know?
System Preferences?
Thanx
Mike

You should put the camcorder on your G5 internal FW 400 port
and the drives on the LaCie card (FW 800 card I assume).
This keeps the camera on one bus and the HD Drives on their own bus.
This will prevent getting dropped frames on capture.
This will also enable me to continue the use of the
other 2 Fire Wire Ports built into the rear of the G5
motherboard?
Is there anything else I need to know?
While capturing from your Camcorder, don't have any other firewire devices connected to your G5 ports, either front or rear. (though you have multiple ports, the G5 has only one firwire bus serving all the ports.)
That should cover it.

How do I connect Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display. The display will run without it.
