SSD for Probook 4540s
do probook 4540s with windows 7 ultimate 64-bit support SSD storage, and if it support, will it replace my HDD or my optical drive ?
Hi,
Normally we replace the HDD with SSD, you can use the ODD but you need more hardware for it. Replacing HDD with a SDD is very simple interms of hardware but recover software may take a bit longer. The following shows how in general which can apply to many other machines.

Drivers for ProBook 4540s (Microsoft Windows Ultimate)
As we can see at this HP page for ProBook 4540s drivers, it has not been offered drivers for both 32-bit & 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to know whether drivers for those versions are available at anywhere &/or is it OK if I install drivers for an available version (Such as Windows Professional 64-bit version) in Windows 7 Ultimate. Will they be fully compatiable with the ultimate versions?. & anything I should know related to this matter would be great. I'm specially concern about "Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit" version, as I'm planning to install it on my new ProBook 4540s - i5, which I will buy very soon. Thanks

Hi,
I have 2 new ProBook 430 G2 on my desk.
I'm trying to clone existing HDD to Samsung EVO 250GB SDD with Samsung migration software provided along the SDD.
It's cloning ok until showing a message "Access violation at address 64D812CE in module 'Restore.dll'. Read of address 00000074"
After this notification Samsung migration application gets frozen and have to closed via task manager.
I managed to clone ProBook 450 G2 without any problems.
Called to Samsung, and they just told that maybe the new SDD is broken.
Got a new SDD, but still facing the same issue.
Any idea what could be wrong?
PC and sofware of Samsung has been updated.

Unable to locate BIOS update for Probook 4540s
In an attempt to fix a "plugged in, not charging" issue I would like to update the BIOS for this machine as recommended in this thread. I have already attempted the suggestion to unplug and remove the battery from device manager so I started looking for the F.60 bios update. Unfortunately all of the links I find (for example) don't seem to be functional and the update is not listed under the driver downloads page for that product. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi bimtp, first of all, it is an absolute joke what is offered on the driver pages by HP currently. For my 4740s i can find 2 (TWO) different drivers for Win8.1/64. There was another official page to get your drivers from which doesn't seem to exist anymore. The solution for you might be the HP Softpaq Download Manager. Hp Softpaq Download Manager
It is not a very nice tool to use but you eventually find the drivers you seek. If there are questions about how to configure that tool i will try to answer them as good as i can. -
HP Probook 4540s upgrading RAM
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my memory (4GBs are not enough in theese days) for probook 4540s
Now, I have 1 module with theese specifications:
CPU-Z:
DIMM # 1
SMBus address 0x52
Memory type DDR3
Module format SO-DIMM
Manufacturer (ID) Hyundai Electronics (AD000000000000000000)
Size 4096 MBytes
Max bandwidth PC3-12800 (800 MHz)
Part number HMT351S6CFR8C-PB
Serial number (Personal information removed)
Manufacturing date Week 38/Year 12
Number of banks 8
Nominal Voltage 1.50 Volts
Question is:
Can I add newer model to the second slot?
I want to buy:
HP SO-DIMM 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz Unbuffered
Certificated for PC3-12800 (B4U39AA)
It seems, the new model of ram module should be compatible with my notebook, but will be compatible with my old module, while working on 2x higher frequency?
Or I have to buy 2 new modules and replace the old too?
Or I missed something and it is not compatible in any way?
Also, I have red at other forums, that upgrading memory up to supported 16GB takes some performance issues. Is it still ture, or is this already fixed?
Thanks for answerHi ,
The model supports the following specification of memory.
Standard
DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)
Two SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory.
2GB and 4GB SODIMMs
Maximum
Upgradeable to 8192MB with optional 4096MB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2.
Dual-channel
Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.
Please find the link

HP Probook 4540s: Fingerprint Scanner Not Working
Hi,
Problem: Fingerprint Scanner - Windows log in does not give option to log in via fingerprint scanner.
Overview: After installing fingerprint drivers from the HP site and using the HP Protect Tools to successfully enroll fingerprint, I tried logging in via this method but the windows log in screen does not display this option. Device manager correctly identifies and shows the fingerprint sensor - however, the control panel says no biometric devices detected.
I really need help in sorting out this issue. Details of what steps I took trying to make the scanner work are given below.
Specs:
1) Probook 4540s
2) Windows 7 64-bit
3) i5-3210m, 1Gb Hd 7650m, 4 Gb 1333Mhz, 750Gb 5400rpm, VFS 491 Fingerprint scanner.
Details of the problem and steps I took to install drivers:
After a fresh installation of Windows 7, I went to the HP driver site to download the latest drivers for Probook 4540s:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5229457&...
I installed the drivers in roughly this order:
1)realtek ethernet controller drivers,
2)audio drivers,
3) the chipset and USB 3.0 drivers (but not the Intel MEI driver)
4) Intel video driver: faced an issue such that drivers were not being allowed to install. After disabling switchable graphics in the bios, I was able to get these drivers to install.
5) AMD video drivers: installed after the intel HD graphics driver - installed but Catalyst Control Center was not being displayed. So I re-enabled switchable graphics in BIOS, re-installed these drivers and CCC was now available.
6) HP hotkey support
7) HP universal camera driver
8) Validity Fingerprint sensor
9) Synaptics Touchpad driver
10) Atheros wifi & bluetooth
11) Jmicron card reader
After driver installation, I installed the HP Protect Tools. After prompting for a PC reboot - which I did - it asked for setup of security etc.. Part of this pocess was the enrolling of my fingerprints - successful. However, upon log off/ restart of windows, an option to log in with the fingerprint scanner did not appear in the Windows log in screen.
I opened the Control Panel, and found there was no biometric devices tab, even though device manager showed biometric device and validity sensor (VFS 491). I then proceeded to uninstall HP protect tools and the validity driver for the fingerprint sensor, then made sure these services were running:
-Credential Manager
-Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
-DCOM Server Process Launcher
-RPC Endpoint Mapper
-Windows Biometric Service
-Plug and Play
Then as suggested in another forum post, I first installed this :http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe and then the validity drivers from 4540s drivers page, and then HP Protect Tools.
After reboot HP Protect Tools as before would enroll my fingerprints, but again no prompt at windows login came to log in with fingerprint. However, one change after the installtion of http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe was that in control panel there is now a tab for biometric devices; however, it says that windows did not find any biometric devices installed. An image is attached showing both the device manager and the control panel!
Please HP provide a solution. Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Ok problem solved. I dont know whether it is related to the installation of HP windows 7 Essential System Updates and Intel MEI driver or not - but I did install these.
What really worked without doubt was this - > install both the fingerprint drivers and then the HP Protect Tools. Once rebooted, open HP Protect tools, then go to administration in the bottom right corner -> Administrative Console ->Increase System security -> tick windows login security and your done. Now you will be able to log in via enrolled fingerprints. -
Hi,
I will buy a HP ProBook 4540s with swiss keyboard.
But, this Laptop it's a present for my sister in serbia.
She need a laptop with a serbian (kyril) Keyboard.
my question: has HP serbian keyboard for laptop HP ProBook 4540s?
Thx
MikFor the detailed service guide, refer the following weblink:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03332165/c03332165.pdf
Refer to the page 32 that has the list of compatible keyboard layout part numbers. However, I would suggest you just change the keyboard layout in Windows to Serbian and start using it. You may need to use stickers to change the layout accordingly.

CPU upgrade for HP Probook 4540s
Hi Support Forums!,
I have recently purchased an HP Probook 4540s (Energy Star gen 3 i5 2410m 2.5 Ghz) notebook.
Does this model have a socket cpu, which would allow the cpu to be upgraded later?
If so, what i7 cpu types/models can it be upgraded to?
Cheers
MikeHi Mike,
Your ProBook is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forums
You will have better luck getting the answers to your questions if you post it over there.

Processor hangs after adding more RAM to probook 4540s
hey ALL
recently i upgraded my laptop hp probook 4540s to 16 GB RAM
I am having two identical (Same part numbers) RAM sticks of following specs:
manufaturer: TRANSCEND
Memory : 8 GB (each)
Frequecy : 1600 MHz
Type : DDR3
PC3 : 12800
the issue is the lowness of processor. Processor utilization meter shows 70 to 80 % utilization with these two sticks running.
If i install only single module of 8 GB then the System runs great. i have checked both modules individualy by installing each of them in single channel configuration. also i changed the slots in single channel configuration. in single channel configuration everything runs great.
the complete specs of my system are :-
Specifications
do anyone have any idea of what is going on
i shall be very thankfull to everyone for helping me on thisHi,
According to the Maintenence & Service guide for your notebook a maximum of 8GB is supported in your notebook.
The modules supported are PC3-10600, 1333-MHz, DDR3. They are not PC3 12800 modules like the ones you have installed.
That would seem to explain the issue you are having.
Best regards,
erico.

Probook 4540s HHD randomly gets very slow
Hey, I have hp probook 4540s running windows 7 ultimate 64bit.
Problem is HDD sometimes (after startup) being very slow, transfer speeds according to resource monitor are ~200kb/s, windows startup takes around 30minutes. HDD transfer speeds do not get better no much how long u wait.Cpu and memory usages are regular (=low) while this happens.All diagnostic programs (hp ones) do not find any issues.
First I assumed it being a virus or windows problem so I formatted HDD and re-installed win7, a few days went by and it happened again. Computer has latest bios, and drivers, except update sp59047.exe which should be firmware for hdd this computer has. Running this sp59047 opens window which says hdd is correct for this update.. then it restarts computer which ends up in ms-dos looking command prompt saying failure. This environment has autoexec.bat and auto2.bat which both return 'failure' while i try to run them.
HDD itself cant be seen but it has sticker 'replace with hp spare 641672-001 and 8k12a0. I'd expect software issue but this is fresh windows 7 with only regular stuff (firefox, adobe flash, .Net, directx, teamviewer, and kaspersky antivirus).. when problem first time appeared this computer didn't have any antivirus, so likely kaspersky isn't causing it. So, ideas what might be the problem? Lack of that firmware update? HDD about to fail? Computer still has warranty for 2 weeks, but I hate dealing with dealers when problem is something like this which passes build in-tests and happens randomly. Haven't tried with HP yet thou.I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this <HERE>

HP Probook 4540s - Windows 8.1 - Battery issues - Closing unexpectedly
Hello,
I have a 1 year old HP Probook 4540s that recently has the following problem.
When unplugged the laptop suddenly shuts down even tough the battery shows 29% still remaining.
I receive no notification from Windows or anything, it just shut downs like when the battery reaches 0%.
Then in order to start it again, I need to plug it in.
Is this a known issue ? I previously didn't have any battery problems and running the HP Assistant informs me that the battery is ok and it doesn't need replacemants.
Any idea how to fix this issue ? Basically the laptop is dead at 28%-29% battery life.
Thanks.
