RAM upgrade on HP ENVY 14-2166se Notebook PC

Hi all. I recently purchased HP ENVY 14-2166se Notebook PC, that came with 8GB (2x4GB) RAM preinstalled. I would like to upgrade the RAM to 16GB, but am not sure as to what is compatible with my notebook. Any piece of useful advice is welcome and will be highly appreciated.
Also, please advise if anyone experienced any issues so far?
Thank you.

Hi:
Looking at the specs for your notebook, it needs 2 x 8 GB of PC3-10600 memory.
Any of these should work.
If I were making the purchase, I would buy in this order -- First to fourth choice:
1. G.Skill
2. Patriot
3. Crucial
4. Corsair
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007609%20600000414%20600213067&IsNode...
I cannot advise as to any issues as I do not own your model notebook.

  • HP Envy 13 1030nr. Windows 7 64-bit. RAM upgrade help.

    I just purchased a RAM upgrade for my Envy 13 and I was trying to figure out how exactly to access the memory module.  I couldn't find a youtube video for the Envy 13 and reading the maintenance manual provides only partial instructions to access the memory module.  It tells you what you need to do (Disconnect the TouchPad cable 2 from the low insertion force (LIF) connector on the system board) but not how to do it without damaging the computer.  I don't want to permanently sever a cable or anything so I'm looking for help via a link to a video or more detailed instructions on exactly how to safely access the memory module. 
    I was under the impression that this would be a quick replacement, but the more I read the manual, the more I think that this is going to be a little more complicated than opening up the bottom and removing the current RAM chip and replacing it with the one I have.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Memory is indeed on the motherboard and getting there requires nearly complete disassembly. See Page 4-26. Not sure how this qualifies as "easy" and if you have not done this before you should get some help. And yes, keep careful track of those screws. 

  • Change HDD with SSD in Notebook HP ENVY 15-k000nl - Warranty expiration - Maximun RAM Upgrade

    Good morning,
    I have bought the above notebook one week ago, in the HP main site there wasn't photo about the rear and when I saw there is no easy way for chanhe HDD to SSD, I have to unscrew about 15 screws located here and there
    Just I would like know if I change the SSD the warranty will expire?.
    At the same time please can I upgrade the RAM to 16 GB DDR3L? which is the Maximun RAM Upgradable?
    Best regards
    Christian

    Hi, Christian:
    Yes, if you replace the hard drive or memory, the warranty will be voided as neither component is a DIY (do it yourself) project.
    Please see the service manual at the link below, chapter 6 for the authorized service center removal and replacement procedures for those components.

  • Envy M4-1015dx RAM Upgrade Help

    Hi,
    I recently purchased 2 sticks of 8GB ram to replace the 2 sticks of 4GB currently in my Envy m4-1015dx notebook. But, I'm not sure where I need to open the laptop at. I would prefer to do this myself so if someone could perhaps detail or walk me through where I need to unscrew things, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Intel Rapid Start stops working when RAM upgraded

    I have a brand new ENVY dv7-7212nr notebook running Windows 8 64-bit.
    This machine has Intel Rapid Storage Technology which caches hard disk data (I think on the 32GB SSD) and Intel Rapid Start Technology which stores active memory in the SSD cache (I think) when the computer enters a hibernation state.
    The first thing I did was upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB.  It works fine, but then I get an error message "your system does not appear to have intel rapid start technology enabled."
    HP provides very little information on this, basically none.  I assume the memory is being cached on the SSD, but I don't know how to verify this.  Also I notice that acceleration is not enabled under the Rapid Storage Tecnology applet for either drive.
    I called tech support twice but the techs knew nothing about upgrading RAM beyond the usual and couldn't get it to work either.
    Does anybody even know exactly how the SSD is being used in my system?  That would be valuable information to me.
    Thanks in advance!
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for reading my reply.
    The "little SSD" is still a drive and not a chip, although you are right that it is little and it is attached to the motherboard. It is little because its form factor is not the typical 2.5 inch size but what's call "mSATA". In fact, the service manual for this dv7-7212nr laptop shows you how you can remove and replace or upgrade this mSATA SSD:
    Below is a comparison of how small the mSATA form factor is to other drive sizes (from Left to Right: mSATA, 1.8", 2.5", 3.5"):
    So if I want to replace the mSATA 32 GB SSD with a 64 GB SSD, I would have to get a mSATA SSD, not the typical 2.5" ones. So for this dv7-7212nr laptop, there can be 3 total drives installed: one in the mSATA slot and two in the 2.5'' drive bays. However, the default configuration as sold by HP only has one mSATA 32 GB SSD and one 750 GB SATA hard drive, with the remaining drive bay empty.
    This dv7-7212nr laptop does contain all the latest (and perhaps more complex) technologies and HP probably does not expect the typical user/consumer to go and muck around all the default settings. However, if one is curious and willing to make the effort to learn, the material is just a google search away.
    Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid STORAGE Technology (aka Intel Smart Response Technology): http://download.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/intel_smart_response_technology_user_guide.pdf
    For this dv7-7212nr laptop, you can ignore steps 1-4 because the BIOS is already configured properly from the factory (unless some changes were made by the end user).
    Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid Start Technology:
    http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide_v11.pdf
    For this particular laptop, ignore steps 1-7 but it is important to do this first: set up Intel Smart Response Technology as above, making sure to allow enough space on the SSD for a hibernation partition that is equal to or greater than the total size of RAM installed. Then follow steps 8 to the end of the guide.  It is important to set up Intel Smart Response before Intel Rapid Start because Intel Smart Response will destroy all partitions and data on the disk (if you set up a hibernation partition for Intel Rapid Start first, it will be removed when you set up Intel Smart Response).
    I have successfully ENable and DISable these technologies on my laptop using the above guides (with my modifications). WARNING: back up all data before trying any of this.
    In your case, I agree that you can also disable Rapid START and just use the whole SSD for acceleration along with the 16 GB RAM upgrade.

  • Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

    Hello.
    I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So  like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.

    You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.

  • I have an HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook PC that I'm trying to install an ssd

    I recently bought an HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook PC, nice laptop. Anyway, I bought a samsung evo ssd, I bought the drive caddy for it online, but I can not get the laptop to see the drive. I pulled it apart 5 different times thinking that I messed up. But after all that I still can't get it to work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIGJYBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This is the drive caddy that I bought. I thought this was the right one, but I don't know. If anyone can help me, please respond to this post. Thanks

    Hello wily51501,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your notebook will not recognize a newly installed solid state drive (SSD).
    Are you checking in the system BIOS to determine if the drive is detected, or with the HP Recovery / Windows software? Sometimes it's as easy as enabling the drive in the BIOS. You can find information on this here, covered on step 7: Installing or Replacing a Hard Drive
    Here is a great guide that walks you through upgrading to an SSD: HP SSD Upgrade Kit Installation Guide. Furthermore this Maintenance and Service Guide has some more specific information for your exact notebook. It could be that the caddy you purchased is defective if the BIOS does not recognize the drive. 
    Here is a document published by Seagate that talks about drives that are not detected:  The BIOS does not detect or recognize the ATA / SATA hard drive.
    Hopefully this information helps!

    What is the installed operating system?  Is it Windows 7 or Windows 8?
    If it is Windows 8 then you need to install the wireless button driver to return that function to your notebook.
    You probably need to reinstall the Realtek Card reader driver and the Intel USB 3.0 host controller driver software driver to clear the missing device driver issues.

  • HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC: Problems installing audio driver (High Definition Audio device)

    Hello all,
    My product is the HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC.
    Product number: E3B65PA#AR6
    OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
    A few days ago, I  upgraded my windows from windows 8 to windows 8.1 and found that no sound coming from the HDTV when connecting my HDMI cable however video is perfectly fine. I was completely baffled because the audio was working perfectly fine before upgrading to Windows 8.1. I have tried several solutions posted on other forums, such as installing other drivers, and uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and then scanning for a hardware change. I have checked the HDMI cable and it is working fine with other laptop.
    Device manager is showing 2 device :
      High Definition audio device ( Showing yellow traingle)
      IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    When I am opening the properties of High Definition audio device it is showing :
    This device cannot start (code 10)
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    If anyone knows how to fix the problem, please help me
    thanks in advance

    Hi:
    The IDT audio driver (notebook speakers) appears to be working fine.
    The problem is probably with the Intel graphics driver which  controls the HDMI audio.
    My recommendation would be to install the latest Intel graphics driver from the link below and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Early 2008 MacBook Pro RAM upgrade limited to 3GB??

    My brother in law has an early 2008 MBP, 2.4GHz, I'm pretty much sure we are talking about the one described in this Apple tech specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP4
    Now, it says that it supports up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM. He bought 2x2GB Kingston memory modules , but the shop sold him the 800Mhz ones. Still they do fit and if only one is present together with the old 1GB 667MHz one it works fine reporting a total of 3GB. With the 2x2GB together the MBP doesn't even start.
    My understanding was that such a MBP could support up to 8GB of RAM with the new 4GB memory modules (well probably with SL at 64 bits, which works). Personally I have an early 2007 MacBook and I know there is a 3GB limit due to the GMA 950 (video chip) reserving higher addresses.
    Is there a similar situation for the MBP? I thought the memory speed being higher shouldn't matter (and it works indeed with one 800MHz module). Or is that MBP really limited to 3GB maximum? Any idea?
    Message was edited by: Michelasso

    yes, he will bring everything here today. I think he didn't buy the KTA MB800 anyway (made for Apple by kingston). Just generic. They are too cheap. But I have to check. Reading around I've found out that only the Penryn MBP should have the problem with faster RAM. Here is a good guide:
    http://forums.macnn.com/69/mac-notebooks/358184/a-guide-to-macbook-ram-upgrades/
    Well, he's still on time to give the RAM back and get the refund. Thanks for your help anyway.

  • HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC: Problems installing audio driver

    Hello all,

    A few days ago, I opened my laptop to find that there was no sound coming from the speakers at all. I was completely baffled because the audio was working perfectly fine before, even after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I have tried several solutions posted on other forums, such as installing other drivers, and uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and then scanning for a hardware change.

    Hello skyeisthelimit. I understand there is no sound produced by the notebook. Based on the description, I believe that the issue is software-based. However, I'm not going to eliminate faulty hardware from my mind. You have attempted some troubleshooting, which is great. I am going to provide some troubleshooting as well (certain steps you already completed). Please follow all troubleshooting in the order I suggest:
    First, there is Microsoft Wizard Tutorial that troubleshoots sound issues in Windows 8.1. Please follow the wizard until it is finished. You can locate this wizard here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows/no-sound-help#no-sound=windows-8&v1h=win8tab1&v2h=win7tab...
    Second, follow all of the troubleshooting, suggest in this HP document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03257712
    Eventually, you will be asked to reinstall updated drivers. Please install this one: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124012-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Assuming the issue is not resolved, the next step is to refresh Windows 8. This will force the computer to return to Windows 8. It will also clean up the computer, to a certain extent (it is not as powerful as a recovery). For more information on how to refresh Windows, please reference this Microsoft document: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    If refreshing the operating system does not resolve the issue, reinstall the operating system is the next step. Ensure you backup all of your data beforehand.
    For information on how to effectively backup your computer, please reference this document: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03270359
    For information on how to perform a system recovery, please reference this document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03489643
    Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!
