SSD in dv7t-3000

Can an SSD be installed in this HP model? I have a quad-core dv7t-3000.

Yes the laptop has two hard drive slots and an SSD can be installed as one or both of the hard drives.
You would need this caddy and cable to add a second drive if you do not already have a second drive.

Only the drive in the primary slot can run Windows (be bootable).

Memory Upgrade on DV7T-3000 (NQ339AV)

Hello,
I have a Pavilion DV7T-3000 with i7-820QM Processor. I am planning on a memory upgrade. Has any one tried upgrading it to 16GB RAM ? (2 x 8GB). As per specs it can only go up to 2x4 GB.
Thank you for for any feed back.

I believe you should try to PM a level 8 or higher expert here and see if they will access someone from HP.

HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC motherboard replacement

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with the black screen (of death) due to a known fault with the graphics chip. I have been trying to buy a replacement motherboard at an affordable price that does not have this problem. I have seen several HP Pavilion motherboards that look very similar to mine, but have a different part number. Can anyone tell me or recommend a replacement motherboard that is compatible with my laptop and hopefully does not have this known graphics chip problem. Thanks for your time and support.

We need the P/N to verify what board will fit in that laptop and also you can use that P/N from service manual to locate the part on eBay to find a match or call HP support to see what the board would cost.

Do I have to configure BIOS on solid state drive (SSD) on dm1z 3000 Laptop?

Do I have to configure BIOS on solid state drive (SSD) on dm1z 3000 Laptop? Want to make sure my SSD device runs 100% well.

Hi,
You will not have to make any changes in the Bios - by default, your HP bios will already be in AHCI mode.

Alternate battery for dv7t-3000?

Hello,
The battery on my dv7t-3000 laptop has conveniently started reporting that it needs to be replaced 3 months after my warranty has expired. Is the GA08 battery the only battery made for my model? Is there not a higher capacity/more cell battery available?
Thanks!

Here's an aftermarket 12 cell that should fit yours. So, yes, bigger batteries are being made. Whether hp is making bigger ones or not, that I don't know.

AC DC Wire Harness - HP dv7t-3000

Hello,
Was wondering is anyone would know where I can find the part number for the AC/DC Wire Harness on an HP dv7t-3000 laptop? When disassembling the laptop to change the cooling fan, I accidentally pulled the two wires from the small wire harness. This is the internal wire with the AC jack at one end and a six pin harness and a two pin harness at the other end, each which plug into the motherboard. I called HP Parts, but they didn't understand what I wanted and couldn't find the wire/jack on their user replaceable parts list. Elsewhere on the net, I have found a few wires, but not any exactly like the one I have. Most parts inside the machine had a part number, but this did not.
My product number is: NQ339AV
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Thanks so much for the response. That is much closer than the others I have seen. Unfortunately, my jack has has a second black and red wire that goes into a second two pin harness. So, it has the same wires in the same configuaration and harness as the one pictured on ebay, but it also has a second two pin harness containing a black and red wire. All wires - 6 from one harness and 2 from the second originate from that jack - the same one pictured on ebay. I'll keep looking, but if you see any thing else, please ket me know.
Thanks again,
Brian

Dv7t-3000 and intel mainstream 2nd gen 160gb ssd

I put this ssd in this laptop. It works quite nicely.However i didnt read all the fine print regarding requirements of trim and firmware updates. What Im reading is that the bios sata ports have to be configured to ahci mode, legacy or compatability mode or the firmware tool wont work, and if the sata ports arnt configured in ahci mode you wont be getting use of the trim function. You cant swith modes or even check the mode in this crippled bios .I know a lot of you guys have installed ssds in this laptop ( but unlike me you know what your doing ) So could someone please shed some light on these issues and bring me out of the darkness .

Hi,
Many owners(those who can afford it) of the dv7t series are putting OCZ agility and vertex drives in to replace their SATA hard disk.
I have no doubt that the speed of the SSD disk will wow you even if it isn't SATA2. Think about restart times of 58 seconds!

Can't install OS on SSD for dv7t-7000 QE

Having trouble installing OS for my brand-spanking-new dv7t-7000 QE on a Kingston 120 GB SSD (V+ model, I can provide specifics but don't know them offhand)
OS is WIndows 7 Pro
Base QE processor
Trying to install from recovery disks. I feed all four disks, lots of progress bars going through the paces. Lots or reboots. Seems like it's almost completely done when the install process falls down. Looking at the log says something like:
"2nd Cap...." and "Error RM detected ... blahblahblah error"
"[DeployRE] Cannot move c:\rm\rp\sources\boot.wim to d:\Recovery\WindowsRE\WinRE.wim"
"[DeployRE].Cannot find \bootmgr"
"[DeployRE] Cannot move Deskttop.inr to d:\"
"[DeployRE] annot move Typelist.tst to d:\"
or something to that effet. I've got 2MB of files that describe all this, if you're really interested.
I ran gparted live on the thing and it looks like the install process put a 300 MB partition and a 92 GB partition that's NTFS and some smallish partition (can't recall) and left nearly 20 GB unallocated. Strange.
I suspect one of the following is true:
1) 120GB is, strangely enough, too small to build a basic c:\ drive for a newish computer. Especially when you're talking about all the bloatware included in a basic HP recovery-disk install.
2) HP and Intel have found a way to keep people from using SSDs on the newer computers. Perhaps they've done things to the BIOS. They want to parse-out the gains brought by SSDs in incremental chunks and sprinkle these up the line. Note that HP only includes SSD in their most expensive laptops.
3) Cockpit error
4)The SSD is broken
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi,
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around.
You can create a retail installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below ( this must be the exact version that came with your notebook ) and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Dv7t-3000 - Sata or Sata 2 - Please help explain what this has!

I assumed that Sata 2 being mainstream for so long, this new laptop of mine would have it.
I want to buy one of the nicer SSD for this unit, but I can NOT confirm anywhere that it will run up to 300 megs.
If it's Sata 1 then I wouldn't be getting much performance gain from a SSD as this 7200RPM HDD rates up to 100 megs.
I contacted HP Support and got told that my laptop only has Sata 1.
I find this impossible to believe. Why in the world would HP do that? I read in a post on the forums that this laptop
falls into the top 5% for overall performance for laptops. How is that so unless it has sata 2? Why would they
have old Sata 1 in such new technology?
Can anyone confirm if HP Support is correct? I have the guy second guessing himself right now and he asked for serial number to try and find documentation to support his claim. I may have to RMA this beast and start searching for a laptop that has SATA II because that is the main reason I wanted a laptop! For the SSD to WOW me!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, input, and effort you may put into this!
WWW2000
UPDATE:
Otay. Now I understand why all the reviews out there say what they say about HP support. Makes you feel like you carried your new puppy into an auto garage to learn about it. WRONG people, wrong place!
Can anyone who knows english and knows about computers please tell me why the ... why HP would be retarded and put Sata 1 in this killer laptop? Do they really enjoy upsetting their customers? All I kept getting for that supervisior was "you computer customized and you hard drive you choose sata 1"
I bought it directly from HP.com so I could have everything in it that you may not get from a retail store. She couldn't seem to grasp that nowhere on hp.com does it let you know if you get sata 1 or sata 2. Option not offered and it SHOULDN'T be. It should automatically be sata 2! Sata one was like so 1998!
Sorry for being so upset. I just want a killer SSD to make this beast all it should be and HP is telling me it's not going to happen. Do I need to start an RMA? Or can someone confirm that I can get read speeds of 230 from that SSD I want?

Problems with an HP dv7t-3000 (with Core i7/P55 Express Chipset) and iPhone

This has been a question posted about other manufacturers, but I just got a custom-made HP dv7t with a Core i7-720QM processor and the required Intel P55 Express Chipset. I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) and I cannot get it to successfully sync to iTunes v9.0.2. It will not always fail at the same point, but it always fails.
I have contacted HP and I got a technician who, although he felt the incident should be escalated, his supervisor said to have me prove that it wasn't iTunes' fault. That's something I obviously can't do, so he wins. Some people have been able to get their cases escalated with HP (by being lucky, I guess), but not me. I have read that Gigabyte motherboard users have a BIOS patch available that resolves the issue. Intel is supposedly looking into the issue, but that's the most they've said about the problem (and that was on 11/3/09). Asus, Acer, MSI, etc., are all having the same issues, but Gigabyte has been the only company to resolve it with a BIOS update.
I did read that one user slapped in a PCI-based USB 2.0 card to his desktop and his problems are over, however I have a notebook, so that's not an option here to even try. Others have tried earlier versions of iTunes (such as v8.2), but with limited success. It just doesn't work well at all (occasionally, at best).
Does anyone have any updates on whether Apple is admiting any culpability with possible driver issues with the iPhone and Touch (since it seems to be limited to those products from what I've read on here)? I'm just stuck right now and want to get rid of a dying laptop that I sync with currently, but can't until this problem is fixed.
If anyone has updates, I'd appreciate it. If there is a main thread on this, pointers to there would also be helpful. Thanks! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a ton!
Jim

After spending numerous hours on the phone with HP and at least 6 hours at the apple store with still no luck. I went here to the HP site, and updated my bios and voila, problem solved. Try it out, it should fix all your problems.

Dv7t-3000 Heat Problems (fans always at idle)

I have the Core i7 Quad version of the dv7t. My perceived problem is that the thing runs crazy hot. CPU and GPU both regularly hit 70 deg C when I'm playing games. The machine is fairly new and I am using an active laptop cooling stand.
What concerns me is that the fans never kick up from idle. I know the machine is capable of it 'cause I hear them spin fast initially when I turn it on. But from then on it's idle all the way. This seems to be the exact opposite problem of other posts I've managed to find about this laptop.
What I *think* may be part of the problem (or a symptom) is HWMonitor shows my ACPI temperature zone at 0 deg. Has anyone seen this before and/or found a solution?
Thanks,
Chris

What is the difference between the HP Pavilion dv7t models NQ339AV and NZ584AV ?

My dv7t 3000 CTO just arrived this morning. The order summary said I was getting a model NZ584AV. The delivery invoice and product says what was delivered is a NQ339AV.
How do I find out the difference between these models?
By the way, it shipped two days early, and even though it didn't leave Shanghai until Tuesday, it still arrived in New Jersey Friday morning. Amazing!!!
