Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC and need to get it restored back to windows 7 after upgrade to windows 8.
I have tried the F11 system restore option at boot but it says a boot file is missing, so that is not working.
I am in search of the recovery disk for this system module as i did not create a back up recovery disk before the upgrade.
Does anyone have this and is willing to upload online so i get it, or of there is a way to get this done.
Looking forward to your assistance.

Please order the discs for your HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook Computer directly from HP online at "Order software and driver media" or by contacting HP Customer Support by phone, email, or chat.
Alternatively, you may try setting the HP recovery partition as "Active" using the Windows "Disk Management" console and then rebooting the computer.

I need recovery media for HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

The hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new SSD. The recovery disks that came from the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy won't work. Best Buy said to get them from HP and they would reimburse me. I can't find out how to order them on the HP website.

Hi:
The product specs for your model indicate it came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I do not see that you can order recovery media online for your model so you will have to call HP at this number 1-(800) 474-6836, and see if they still carry them.
If not, you can still order a set from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

No HDMI sound on TV - Pavilion dm4-1160us Entertainment Notebook

I know there are a lot of post over this issue, but nothing is working for me. i have a Pavilion dm4-1160us Entertainment Notebook running windows 7 64 bit. I've uninstalled both the graphics and chip drivers and reinstalled (warning said the ones i was installing were older ver. than the one I had). maybe I'm not finding the right drivers to install. There is no HDMI audio device listed on the computer. Audo devices that are listed are: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC for speakers and headphones.
This question was solved.

Hi,
My suggestion:
Go to this site to download the required driver.
Totally uninstall the Audio driver.
Install driver from the downloaded file.
Turn off the TV and laptop.
Connect HDMI cable.
Turn ON the TV first.
Turn ON the laptop.
Regards
ps Many users have to do few tries and it turns ụp

Blue screen with error code and I have no recovery disks for HP Pavilion dv6-1260se

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}.

I do not have recovery disks for this computer. I tried to order them but them seem to not be available. This is my daughter's computer. She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it. We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?

Hi,
Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here. That may be the best option.
You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well. Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible. This should allow you to recover the PC.

i accidentally delete my hp recovery patition on my HP Pavilion dv6-3112sa Entertainment Notebook PC, i don't know how to get it back. and i really need to restore a factory setting.

Hi,
If you have your set of Recovery DVDs, using these to reinstall the OS will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

USB 3.0 Upgrade for HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Is it possible to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC to USB 3.0? I've been searching the website and google and haven't found any concrete answers just yet. I'd rather not have to buy a new laptop just to get USB 3.0. It's been the most reliable pc I've ever had and I don't wantn to replace it!
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
You have to buy a new laptop or swap the system/motherboard or buy an Express card - USB 3 (I've got one) or PC card - USB 3. For desktop , this is much simpler, a PCI - USB 3 card will do.

Power supply for HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC.
The power supply (AC adaptor) that it comes with is HP part number 608428-002.
I also have a different power supply (AC adaptor) that came with a much older HP Pavilion notebook. This older power supply is HP part number 519329-003.
Is the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx compatible with the older power supply (part number 519329-003)?
Thanks!
Mike

519329-003 is definitely the right part number. I just double-checked, and that's what's written on the hardware. If you do a google search for "hp part 519329-003", you get a ton of results.
The older HP notebook has another power supply, with HP part number 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428-002. So I know that 608428-002 and 519329-003 are equivalent.
Is the newer notebook (the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx) compatible with the power supply that has HP part number 608428-002?

Download a copy of Hiren's Boot at Hirensbootcd.org, there is some really good programs in there, use the disk recovery stuffs like government issue or something. I was just messin around with it on a disk I had formatted previously and it brought up all the files that were on it. It may or may not help with all the problems your having but you will love the software belive me. Good luck.

HP Pavilion dm4 3050us Entertainment Notebook Fingerprint scanner

Alright, so I just got my HP Pavilion dm4 3050us (Running Windows 7-Home Premium) a few days ago, and ever since I've been trying to figure out this fingerprint scanner. I just CANNOT figure out how to work it, or even open/start/launch it at all. It's like my notebook doesn't even know that it was freaking built into the dang thing. I've opened the biometric devices section of the Hadrware and Sound section of the control pannel, and it comes up saying "Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers." I also tried opening the device manager and there wasn't even a section specified to biometric devices. I've updated the BIOS to the 2012-02-17, version F.08, 4.75M, and I installed the device driver for the fingerprint scanner that is compatible with my notebook (AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver, 2011-10-28, Version 3.2.1.10, 6.83M). I just don't get how my notebook can't detect something that is freaking BUILT INTO it . . . I have no clue what else to do.
Please help!

HP Pavilion dm4-2165dx Entertainment Notebook PC - Volume not working.

I got a new laptop last weekend and it was working fine except the simplepass which I got resolved. I have tried to delete it and reboot the laptop, update driver, all that good stuff. Nothing is working.
I am running on Windows 7 64-bit.

Thanks for the response. Then the issue is as I feared; a potential problem with the actual hardware itself. The computer won't be able to detect something that's broken, to an extent.

HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx Entertainment Notebook PC hinges and frame replacements are needed!

I have this laptop for about two years now and it is already breaking apart. First the hinges from both sides broke. I stopped closing the laptop because the frame started to break. Attached are the pictures taken today. I want to replace the broken parts and I want to know when i can get them from and how much it cost. I thought I was the only one with this problem but when i searched the web it seems to me that a lot of people are experience the same problem with the Hp Pavillion series. I hope HP is aware of the problem and solve it for future products. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!!

Wow that looks identical to my Dv6!
The screen part number is:
613667-001 For use in models equipped with WWAN
or
608207-001 For use in models not equipped with WWAN
So find out if your computer has WWAN or not. it's one of those product numbers if you wnt to order a new one.
Edit: I don't think the screens include the frames or hinges. It's a flat panel replacement to go inside the frame...
Here's a link to the manual downloads to do some research of your own

Windows 10 and Drivers/BIOS for HP Pavilion DV6 7112HE Entertainment Notebook

Hello, I recently updated to Windows 10. I wanted to know if HP is working with Intel on releasing new drivers? Also, how about a Windows 10 BIOS update for my laptop? I do not have the option to revert back to my previous OS, it would be nice if anyone can shed light on this issue.

In this case iNtel will release the driver themselves since the last driver update on HP driver site. That is where you will find a updated driver from the hardware manfacture site not from HP at this point in time. UE wrote:
Updated HP Pavilio DV6 yesterday to Windows 10 and Wireless stopped working. F12 button stuck to orange and cannot turn on Wireless. My laptop has Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 adapter and there is no new Windows 10 driver software available. Still searching for the solution...This is part of the problem with upgrading to Windows 10 some of your hardware will be compatible and some of it will not be. What you need to do is install the last Windows drivers again into Windows 10 and if it works you will know. I am aware that drivers for Intel are released through Intel, and pushed through Windows Update. However, the issue at hand is also the BIOS which has nothing to do with Intel, hence the topic title. Thanks for your response.

Pavilion dm4-2191US Entertainment Notebook malfunctioning HINGE

After hearing a loud noise when opening the lid, I found small broken pieces of black plastic scattered on the floor.
Then a BULGE appeared in the black frame around my screen, above the left hinge. Now it is hard to close the lid, and there have been several problems with performance.
THREE QUESTIONS: Is the hinge just for opening and closing, or are there sensitive connections inside the hinge? Is there a danger of the computer CRASHING? Can this problem be corrected?

Recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium

Does anyone know where I can find recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium?? According to HP, disk pn is 446537-004.

Excuse me for not understanding the solution so well....
So I need to purchase an OS for my computer - like windows 7 ??
And I need to download drivers from hp.com - there is a long list of drivers and they are dependent on the operating system - which ones do i need (all??) and supposedly I need to get a new operating system first??
Could I try to just reload drivers before purchasing a new OS - is that possible ?? maybe it is a driver problem and not an OS problem ?? If this is possible, how do I determine which drivers to download and what order to try to install them??
Sorry that I am not so knowledgeable
Thanks,

I get to a message that says...Windows restarted Unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows install cannot proceed, click ok . When I do that the program restarts... it repeats the process over and over... Any Suggestions?
THank you

Try tapping away at the F11 key immediately after powering on the laptop to get into HP Recovery Manager which can be used to do a System Recovery back to Factory settings.
