Queries related to envy touchsmart 15t j050us

Hi, I recently purchased an envy laptop and there are certain upgrades that I want to do, so want a little information related that.
1. Is it possible to upgrade the keyboard to backlit keyboard?
2. Since it doesn't have a discrete graphics card, playing games isn't smooth experience, can I upgrade the graphics to Nvidia discrete by replacing Intel.
3. Can SSD be installed to fasten the system, also can we have both hdd and ssd in a laptop? Since ssd are expensive and of low capacity,I want to keep my 1 tb hard disk too.
I also hate that it doesn't support FHD, would've.loved the feature.

Hi,
It's a t machine therefore very hard to know internally but in general:
1. You need a new motherboard which has place for you to plug all the lights of the keyboard,
2. No, the Intel chip is soldered to the motherboad and the motherboard has no place to a video card,
3. Yes, you can replace the HDD by swapping it but no room to add an SSD.
Regards.

Nothing works.Do you know how I can do this?ThanksHi, Marius. Here is how: 1. Press the Shift key as you shut down your laptop normally.2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the laptop off.3. Press the Power button and then immediately press the ESC key on the upper left of your keyboard, about once per second. You will soon see a Recovery screen menu that instructs you to press the F10 button to go directly to your BIOS menu. Pressing the ESC key is easy to remember; that way, you don't have to memorize the other F button choices. Easy! Good luck!

ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition mSSD cache & Ram options

Good day all,
I've ordered the ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition from HP directly and during the configuration, it was mentioned that I could not configure the notebook with both the 24Gb mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache AND 16Gb of Ram. I wondered if it was a memory slot usage issue but I can configure with either 2x4Gb or 1x8Gb with no warning. Is it possible to add another 8Gb (as I ordered it with 1x8Gb) after getting this laptop or would having the mSSD Cache actually prohibit this?
Thanks for any help offered.
Richard
*not sure if it's of any consequence to the issue but the Hard Drive ordered for this system was a Hybrid.
This question was solved.

It is not a physical problem with blockage of the memory slot but having 16 gigs of RAM means the cache drive may not work right. The cache drive has to be able to store everything in memory and then certain other files and the HP designers have decided it would take a bigger cache drive to work right with more than 8 gigs of RAM.

ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO

I'm thinking of purchasing an Envy Touchsmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO (with all the available options). Has anyone upgraded their laptop after purchasing? I would like to upgrade the wlan card to Intel 7260ac. Has anyone actually upgraded their wlan card?

Yes, this laptop supports Intel 7260AC wireless cards. I think that the whitelist is not there anymore. If you browse further this forum you can find threads with users confirming the chip is compatible and working well.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000

Good morning.
I just received my new laptop, with 256 SSD & 1 T hard drive.
My question is whether I can replace the 256 SSD with 1 T SSD 2,5" ?
Reason is that having 2 drives of 1 T each, I can make regular and frequent cloning from C to D, so if something goes wrong
I can just replace the C (SSD) with the D (Normal hard drive) and be back in business at a snap (am I a dreamer ?).
I already use my old laptop with 2 X 516 Gb drives and use to clone each of them on equal capacity external drives every week. However since I do not really need more than few hundred Gbs for both Windows and storage, I just want to be able
to clone from C to D instead of using external drives for cloning.
I just saw that mSSD and 2,5" SSD are not physically the same. However I also see an adaptor (please see the link)
that may be used to accommodate a higher mSSD (1 T) and then placed in the socket of the mSSD in the laptop.
Unless of course the socket in the laptop is restricting the use of mSSD only.
http://www.amazon.com/Syba-mSATA-2-5-Inch-Adapter-SY-ADA40050/dp/B007PPZ2I8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics...
Thanks in advance for any comment on my question.
Have a blessed day.

That model is so new there is no Service Manual the describes it. Officially, the Touchsmart 15t-j000 only supports a 24 gig mSSD as an acceleration cache and the mSSD slot could not be the boot drive if a regular hard drive is also installed. See page 5 of the Manual here:
Manual
The prior limit was implemented in the BIOS and there were a lot of people asking HP to make the mSSD the boot drive and now they have apparently complied. They also used to not sell an mSSD on models with 12 or 16 gigs of RAM and that is obviously no longer the case.
If you want to protect your data simply make a 240 gig partition on the 1 TB drive and use backup software like Acronis or even Windows Backup and run a regular backup to that partition of the main drive. If the mSATA dies you can stick in another mSATA mSSD, boot the system from a utility disk and copy the contents of the backup partition back onto the new mSSD. If you put in a 1 TB mSSD (which is going to cost an arm and a leg) I guess you would use the whole mechanical drive as a backup location but the principle would be the same. As long as you have an active backup image on the mechanical drive you should be fine. I would not buy a second mSSD just on the very remote chance the first one is going to go bad.
I believe your model also has RAID ability and you could set up a 1 TB mSSD and the 1 TB mechanical drive in a RAID-1 (mirror) but boot from the mSSD and if it goes bad just remove the mSSD and set the machine to boot from the mechanical drive, which would be slower but would give you zero downtime. If you create the RAID-1 array it would mean reinstalling the operating system onto the array.

Hi,
There will be a common 2.5" hard drive or a hybrid which means that you should be able to replace it by a solid state drive as these are manufactured in the same sizes as common hard drives (7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm etc..). Perhaps some manufacturers make only 9.5 or 12.5mm drives but I don't think there will be a 7mm hdd anyway.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 Quad Edition Notebook PC - MEMORY TYPE

Hello,
I ordered this PC with 8GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm). I want to purchase 1 more 8GB stick to max out the memory but I'm not sure what type to get? I would have added it when I built it but for some reason it wouldn't allow me to since I selected the 24GB mSSD option. This was the error message:
Selection caused conflict24GB Solid State Hard Drive Acceleration Cache requires purchase of 4GB, 6GB or 8GB System Memory. Update Memory or Hard Drive Acceleration Cache .
Please help and thanks!

I guess the 24GB mSDD cache is used to store both windows 8 and the data from memory during sleep or hiberbnation for fast boot and instant on purpose. 16GB is used to store windows 8 and 8GB is used to store memory data. If memory is 16GB, the mSSD cache should be at least 32GB. If you upgrade mSSD to 32GB, it should be OK.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Ed. Upgrades/Modifications

Hello All,
My next laptop will most likly be the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with Windows 8 Professional. However I have several questions before I purchase this machine. I hope the knowledge base here can help.
1) Is it possible to reconfigure the laptop to use the mSATA SSD hard drive acceleration cache as the primary boot drive?
2) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition can be optioned with a 24GB mSATA SSD. What is the maximum memory capacity this laptop will recognize? ie, 64Gb, 128Gb, 256GB....
3) When customizing the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition through HP's Customize and Buy, why am I limited to 8Gb of memory when selecting 24Gb mSATA Acceleration Cache?
4) Is there a limit to the memory capacity of HHDs and SSDs the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition is capable of recognizing?
5) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition comes with two drive bays. What are the physical limits for hard drives in the bays? Specifically, will 15mm 2.5" HDDs fit?
6) If I purchase the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with an empty 2nd HDD bay, will I need to purchase additional adaptors and/or cables in the future to attach a second HDD?
I do apologize for so many questions however if I'm going to pay more than $1200 for a laptop I need to ask a few. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
For those interested this possible future buy is replacing an 8 year old HP Pavilion ZV-6130us Windows XP Pro SP3 with 2Gb RAM, a 256Gb primary HDD and a 2nd 1Tb HDD in the optical drive bay. The only failures in 8 years was one cooling fan 2-3 years ago and the optical drive 4 years ago. This HP has been good to me.
Again, Thanks.
-Mike

Can I use an HP Envy TouchSmart 23-d027c as an external monitor

We recently bought an HP Envy TouchSmart 23-d027c to use as our home computer but I was wondering if I can use it as an external monitor for my HP notebook. The guy as BestBuy said I would be able to but I just realized that there's no way to turn on the monitor without turning on the whole computer.
I sometimes work from home with my work laptop and I like to work with dual monitors. If anyone has any ideas on how this can work, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Here are the specs for your HP ENVY 23-d027c TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based on these specs, this model doesn't have a video input of any kind and therefore you will NOT be able to use this AIO computer as a monitor.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Envy Touchsmart 15-j105sa Continuous USB Device Dropout and Reconnect

New Envy Touchsmart 15-j105sa running an up to date version of Windows 8.1. All HP driver and Windows updates completed prior to installing software and other USB devices except for USB WiFi adaptor and software.
USB 2.0 HDD keeps disconnecting from the port and then re-connecting. This happens continuously about once every 30sec. It re-connects after about 10sec and then disconnects again after about 30sec. When connected everything seems to be working fine. Access to the HDD is OK, it shows normally in Device Manager and Safe Disconnect.
I have uninstalled the USB drivers and restarted. The problem persists. I have powered the USB HDD externally. The problem persists. I have tried connecting to 3 of the 4 USB ports. The problem persists. The USB 2.0 HDD works normally on other Laptops. When data is being transferred the dropout does not occur. It appears to be associated with idle time on the USB HDD.
I don't get the problem when I attach a USB 3.0 HDD. It stays connected with no dropout. Flash drives don't have the problem.
I also have a similar issue connecting a USB Alfa WiFi Adaptor.
UPDATE: The problem is related to an External Combo Drive. 2.5" Sata to USB /eSata HDD External Enclosure. As long as the HDD is being accessed then there is no dropout. As soon as the disc becomes idle I get a cycle of disconnects and reconnects as described above. I would like to understand the cause of this issue because it will help solve the massive connect/disconnect hunting that I get with my external USB wifi adaptor. Once the Alfa Wifi adaptor gets happy with its connection the hunting stops and it behaves normally.

Are you using the charging USB 3.0 ports or the standard USB 3.0 port to connect the device?
Charging ports have a + next to them. It really should not make a difference, but it might with your keyboard since it does require more power then, perhaps a mouse.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 4 Ultrabook - Sound and Video Lags and Distortions

This issue has been previously reported and noted as solved, but it is not solved. See the link to the other post below.
Ways in which I attempted to address this myself...
I first re-installed all drivers and updates, including BIOS updates. After that didn't fix the problem, I did a full wipe/re-install of windows 8, and again, updated all drivers from the HP website. This issue happens on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I then did an exchange, and even the new exchange ultrabook is experiencing this issue. HP technicians, there is something faulty with this device. Please acknowledge and address ASAP.

HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook. I accidentally deleted my audio.

Product/Model: HP ENVY TouchSmart 4-1115dx
3rd generation Intel Core i5-3317U
I was cleaning up my laptop by uninstalling things from the control panel, and I accidentally uninstalled my audio drivers and everything that has to do with audio. I tried to exit out, knowing that I pressed the wrong thing to uninstall, but it wouldn’t let me exit or press cancel. So now in the bottom right side on the desktop layout on the audio icon it says: No Audio Output Device is installed. It also has an X circled in red that appears on the icon. In addition when I go to the HP Utility Center, my Beats Audio icon doesn’t appear. When I go to the troubleshooting report for playing audio it states:
Check audio device
Issue not present There might be a problem with your audio device.
One or more audio service isn't running
Issue not present Both the Windows Audio and the Windows Audio End Point Builder services must be running for audio to work correctly. Atleast one of these services isn't running.
I would very much appreciate it if I could somehow re-install my audio back! It’s essential.
Thank you.
