Reovery for HP Pavillion dv7 Windows 7

Hi: first time on the forum, no very savvy about computers. I'd like to be able to recover "back-date" my computer, say, a week back. It is infected.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Julian:
Yes what you're saying makes sense to me. Probably the virus wiped out most if not all of your restore points.
I'm not quite sure about what you mean by an array of windows...
If you want to do a system recovery to factory specs you should be able to start the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen you tap the F11 key to launch the recovery manager. Then follow the on screen instructions.
You will lose all data on the hard drive if you do this.
You can try to get rid of the virus and also copy your files onto a portable hard drive before doing a recovery by downloading this free tool. Use your CD burining program, select the Burn ISO option and make this bootable disk which will scan your PC for viruses and remove them without you even having to be in Windows.
Use the graphic interface. Then once you are in this "desktop" you will be able to see the folders on your C:\ drive and copy your files off to a portable hard drive if the program cannot remove the virus you got and you can then do a system recovery.

HP Pavillion dv7 - windows 7 home prem OA - crashed won't start

I crashed it turning it off after an iTunes install failed. Won't start since. I think I made the d: drive your supposed to when I got the thing. And I have it backed up through norton ....but I can't even get it to start....have tried the recovery options...says not available to me and directed me here.

The HP Hard Disk Test might be able to fix errors while testing the hard disk drive. Do the following:
Press and hold the power switch for 5 - 15 seconds to turn off the computer.
Press the power switch to turn on the computer, and immediately press the esc key.
On the HP Startup Menu, press the F2 System Diagnostics key.
Select the Hard Disk Test option.

Can the pavillion dv7-6157 be upgraded for gaming?

I bought my son the pavillion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he is having trouble with graphics on the high end games he is playing. They freeze or crash. It has 8G DDR3 SDRam, 2 gen Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo, and radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. For video memory it says "itchable graphics"...what does that mean? Can this computer be upgraded in a way that would help the graphics? Is there a graphics card or driver upgrade? Can more graphics memory be allocated?
I'm getting tired of hearing that laptops suck.
This question was solved.

Here are the original factory specs for the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook Computer. This model shipped with an Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU and a Radeon HD 6770M GPU. "Swichable Graphics" is a system that depending on some system settings and the graphical load, will "switch" from the integrated Intel HD GPU to the AMD Radeon HD 6770M.
Based on the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide, there is very little room to improve the performance of this computer. The AMD Radeon 6770M 2GB (this is what you have) is the best this system can accept. Maximum memory is 16GB (you have 8GB). And, in theory, the best CPU would be an Intel i7-2860QM, however there is no guaranty of this.
As far as drivers are concerned, please the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The HP provided drivers appear out of date, however you may not be able to install newer driver directly from AMD or Intel.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS. I'm getting "no audio output device is installed" error after trying various different drivers. Sometimes the driver will install and I'll reboot, but to no avail I end up with the same error and a red X over the speaker in the system tray. I've tried Realtek drivers and Conexant drivers from HP. When I run Windows upgrade advisor it recognizes the problem, but Microsoft doesn't offer a compatible driver. At this point I'm very desperate considering everything else works fine and I don't want to go back too XP Media Center. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I guess this one isn't even 64 bit but it is the one on HP's site:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46818-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
I never tried to force a driver but I think it can be done. I seeing that in some threads.

Coprocessor Driver Need For Pavillion dv6661se Windows 7

I installed Windows 7 and the device manager informs me that there is no driver for the coprocessor for my Pavillion dv6661se. Where can I locate the driver for it. I looked at the drivers for my laptop but it isn't listed. I don't know where to look for it and the trouble shooter in Windows 7 can't locate it either.

32 bit or 64 bit? You need the chipset driver which is the nVidia nForce 630a I believe.

I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause

I have a Pavillion dv7 error message HARD DRIVE ERROR How do I correct this?

My computer is a Pavillion dv7 model WW181AV running Windows 7
no changes have been made for quite some time (over a year)
During startup- the HARD DISK ERROR comes on. Iran the diagnostics as listed in the HP Diagnostic screen and no error found. Cannot get rid of this error how can I fix this?

If the hard disk diagnotics report no problem then the issue is with your operating system.
A windows 7 startup repair disk should resolve the issue. Windows 7 Startup repair disks are not freely downloadable. You will need to have acces to a PC or notebook that is running the same version and type (32 or 64-bit) as your installed OS. When you have access to such a PC and a blank DVD, then you can make a repair disk of your own.

HP Pavillion DV7

I am completely frustrated.
Almost 3 years ago I purchased the HP DV7 laptop. It is supposed to be a flagship of HP laptop range. I am currently still paying on the laptop with I shall complete the payment in June 2014. To date, I have experienced nothing but TROUBLE. Within the first year, the first laptop hard drive packed up. This was successfully replaced by HP. However, I have had to pay somone to re-install the software as the installation HP did, did not function properly and the recovery drive was missing so i could not do ti myself.
Less than a year later, my screen packed up. Once again, I sent it in for repairs and the screen was replaced.
My subwoofer on the laptop then packed up and I called in again only to be advised that my warrantee has expired even thou I am still paying on the product.
My second hard drive packed up soon afterwards and I was forced to purchase a new hard drive which cost me in access of R 1500.00.
And my final blow.....my screen has gone bonkers again.
I now own a USELESS FLAGSHIP HP PAVILLION DV7 LAPTOP WORTHLESS R 17500.00.
I bought an ACER for R 2500.00 about two months after I purchsed my HP DV7 for my wife. It still operates as the day I purchased it.
My Thoughts.....
DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS. HP = HIGH PRICE = HIGHLY PERISHABLE = HIGH PROBLEMS
I am uterly disgusted by HP as they are supposed to be world leaders in design and technology with a reputable brand. R19000.00 later, and all I have is a laptop good enough for a RUBBISH DUMP.
THANK YOU HP FOR WASTING MY HARD EARNED MONEY. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU AGAIN NOR PURCHASE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS NOR WILL I RECOMMEND ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS TO MY CLIENTS, COLLEGUES, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO ASKS.
From great believer and supporter of HP products for almost 20 years, BUT NO MORE.

Do you have another computer with a DVD burner available? If it has Windows Vista or later you can download the free ISO Recorder here:
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Install this program on the computer. Download the .iso to the desktop. Right click and open with the ISO Recorder program. Have a blank burnable DVD in the drive.
Once the DVD is burned insert it in the DVD drive of the laptop. Tap F9 as you power up to select the DVD drive as the boot device. You have the new blank hard drive installed. Follow Windows 7 install prompts. If you need more specific help with installing Windows 7 let me know. When Windows 7 is installed you can come to this site and get the drivers needed to complete the installation.
Here is the driver download page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4125...
You might want to download these driver files to a thumb drive or burn them to a disk so you can use them right after Win7 is done installing in case there is no internet acess without the drivers.

Need to replace a damaged HMDI port (HP Pavillion Dv7 1270us laptop)

Where can I get a new port and how would I replace it?
HP Pavillion Dv7 1270us laptop
Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
The port is on the video card, replacing the port means replacing the video card and replacing the video card may mean replacing the whole motherboard.
Buying a new motherboard probably the way to go. You can order from this:
http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/?cc=US&lang=EN&jumpid=hpr_r1002_usen
Regards.
Updated: Your machine uses NVIDIA 9600GT, but you can not find MXM adapter. You may also can try to order this card from HP using the above link but I think you have to buy the whole motherboard.

Hp pavillion dv7-3065 laptop will not turn on - led light blinks, ac's light on?

HP Pavillion dv7-3065 with Windows 7.
I fell asleep two days ago, and when I woke up yesterday, my laptop was off. (The battery very well may have died while I was sleeping, or just shut off on its own. I don't know which.) I tried turning it on, but nothing happened... except for the lightning bolt (LED light) blinking three times. No noises inside, blank screen, nothing aside those three blinks.
For the record, I've already tried removing the battery. I've also tried removing the battery, removing the AC cord, and holding in the power button for 30+ seconds. It didn't work.
I've tried removing the battery and running off AC. This still doesn't work. However, the laptop recognizes that it's plugged in; the little light by it is consistantly on. I've also tested my laptop with another AC adapter just to be safe. Nothing.
My laptop has been tested without harddrive/etc, but I'm still at a blank. I don't know what else to do. My boyfriend, who's in school to be an IT, took it into his teacher, who messed around with it, and came up with a few conclusions.
He believes that because the lights are flashing, he's confidant that my motherboard is fine. He said to replace the battery, and if that doesn't work, solder the ...I forgot what exactly, but basically it's the charging connection. I forget what exactly. My apologies there.
However... I feel like replacing the battery would be a waste of money... Because regardless of battery, the laptop should still turn on with the AC cord. My boyfriend intends to bring this up and ask if he can just skip to the other thing anyway, but he doesn't have that class again for a week, and I'm at a loss of what else to do. Aside from that, his teacher says there's a limited number of other things that could be wrong...
I was hoping to get some more input...

This won't help you out, but I am experiencing the same problem... I am gonna look on this post to see if you get an answer!
I have the same problem! Except I did manage to get mine to turn on. After doing the hold the power down thing. Nothing happened. I did leave the lap top on cause I was irritated and walked away, about an hour later it came on. It let me turn it on and off a few times. Then stopped. Then leaving it sit on stopped working too

I understand you are looking to change the language on your HP Pavilion dv7-1090eo from Norwegian to English. Unfortunately, the Recovery Discs are no longer available for purchase for your computer at this point, but that does not leave you without options.
If you still have Windows Vista installed you can follow the steps in the Microsoft Support document: No need to translate, with this you can Change the display language to English.
If you upgraded to Windows 7 you need Windows 7 Ultimate installed to change the Windows 7 display language. You can do this by following the steps I have set out below:
Install Language Pack in Windows 7 Ultimate
Step 1. Start -> All Programs --> Windows Update --> Optional Updates.
Step 2. Open optional Updates and go to the section Windows 7 Language Packs.
Step 3. Tick the Language Pack you want and hit OK
Step 4. Proceed with Install Updates
Step 5. Depiction of Windows 7 downloading a Language Pack
Step 6. Automatic install initiated after download
How to change the Windows 7 Display Language:
Step 1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region / Change the display language
Step 2. Switch the display language in the Choose a display language dropdown menu.
Step 3. Click OK
Step 4. Log off for the changes to take effect (This will affect only the user profile under which you are currently logged on).
If you have Windows 7, but not Windows 7 Ultimate you can upgrade your operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate which includes Multilingual User Interface (Language Pack) support. You can then install the English Language Pack from under Regional and Language settings in Control Panel.
You can do an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate which will preserve your personal files and settings: Windows Anytime Upgrade: frequently asked questions, should answer any questions you have concerning this.

Trying to reingtall win7 on pavillion dv7 cant get past a dialog select the driver to be installed

Hi I have a HP Pavillion DV7-4065dx Refurbished Notebook PC with the following specs:
AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N830 2.1GHz
4 DDR3
500 HDD
Blu-ray
17.3" Display
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
MPN: RB-WQ861UA
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
I recently tried to reinstall my windows and made the mistake of loading windows 7 Home Premium x86 (32 bit) when it should have been Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and my fingerprint reader wouldn't install. I tried upgrading to the 64 bit which failed with a message about incompatible hardware. I tried doing a HP System restore from both the restore drive and from backup disks I didn't have any luck with either. The restore using the 5 cds I created made it to the 5th cd and then failed without any reason other than error code "HP Recovery Manager error Code 0xe0ef000e" and told me to contact HP Support.
I have deleted my partitions and created just one partition at this point and tried to install windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and it starts off ok but gets to a dialog that says install windows => select the driver to be installed => and I can't get beyond this point. It doesn't tell me what driver it is looking for and my only options are browse and rescan because next is grayed out.

Hi:
Your PC should not require any special drivers for W7 to install.
Try downloading the W7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit iso file from the link below and follow the instructions to use the Microsoft ISO to USB tool.
Make sure you get the whole file to download. Make a note of the advertised size and compare that with the actual file that downloaded. Sometimes it states the download was complete but the whole file isn't there.
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
