Upgrade for My DV6t-3000 CTO Entertainment Laptop

Hello All,
I would like to know what I can do to upgrade the memory and vga of my laptop.
I currently have 2GB Ram memory. As for the VGA, no idea what is installed in it. What I do know whenever I watch a 10GB size movie (720 or 1080p), the system cannot cope with the resolution and start to pixelate and cuts off. The same movie can be easily watched on my T400 Lenovo (Business Computer) without any issues.
The serial number of my HP is: 3CX0223TX2. The model number is: WF536AAR.
Appreciate your help.

and ur laptop doesnt support that much resolution...thats why while watching vidieo its stucking thats it and if u upgrade ram issue will be the same aappers...........take care

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.

HD Replacement for HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello.
I have a HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC , Product Number: XL303AV
I am having SMART HD monitor failure mensage at startup and the computer is very slow.
I just bought a OCZ Vertex V3 SSD 256mb and i want to create a recovery media but the recovery media creation in my computer is not working.
I did a backup of my files and a complete recovery from the F11 at startup.
The Notebook is runnig good, but the SMART screen reporting failure keeps appearing and windows is poping up HD failure alert.
The recovery media creation keeps not working (32GB USB drive), the formating step do not end never. I already tryied with another USB pendrive and no sucess.
The recovery partition is there. How to create a recovery media for my new SSD HD ?
Other problem:
I tryied to order the recovery media at HP site but i have a USA buyed notebook and i live in Brazil, and it is impossible to order that for shipping to Brazil (stupid). HP Brazil do not recognize my serial and produt number, sending me to USA site.
My windows 7 is the 64bits Home Premium.
Help me
Regards
Cristiano

Hi,
If the impending failure alert from the HD SMART is popping up, then creating USB from the original hard disk at this point is not likely to be successful.
You can try copying the recovery partition to an external drive in order to keep it. Use the OCZTechnology forum as a source for how to initially setup the SSD drive. I have a Vertex 3 SSD in this particular desktop PC and I love the performance it provides.
What was the size of the original hard disk?
I highly recommend that you use the Porutgese language HP Consumer support forum if you are familiar with the language. There are experts there who are quite likely to be familiar with the problem you are facing with in acquiring the recovery disk set. I met some of them last March in San Francisco at the HP Social Summit.
All you need to do to access the Portugese language HP Global forum is change the language tab at the upper right where it says English to Portugese.

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.

HP Pavilion DV6t-3100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade hard drive to SSD and windows 8?

I want to upgrade my hard drive (WDC WD6400BEVT-60A0RT0) to SSD for faster performance AND upgrade to Windows 8. How should I proceed? Which should come first?
I am not very knowledgeable about these things, but I have changed hard drives before -- never an SSD though. Never had BIOS problems in these changes, so never bothered with it either. No experience about that. I am practically illiterate about that part.
What should I be careful about? Any SSD drive would work? Would BIOS (F.29) and motherboard (144A 65.38) be relevant? How should I choose my new SSD?
Do I absolutely need to clone C: drive? Could I not install windows 8 fresh/anew? What problems may I have with a new SSD?
In short -- what would be the best and least problematic way to do this?
I will back up my audio, video and office files. All copy-paste stuff. I have no problem with installing all my programs from scratch.
I couldn't find a specific thread that provides a comprehensive answer so I opened this thread.
Thanks.

It should be pretty simple _ remove the battery and adapter _ install your SSD _ hold down the power button for 1 full minute.
Eject the DVD tray with the manual eject hole using a bent out paper clip.
Load you W8 disc _ close the tray and plug in the adapter.
Boot up, it should just boot to the W8 disc, if it doesn't there will be a quick flash on the screen when to press the esc key, after that you choose f9 (with out checking) and tell the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD ROM.
(the W8 disc will format the drive automatically)
Get the newest SSD you can find, don't buy old junk from eBay _ always buy from a reputable dealer.
I have Samsung SSD in my dv8 and has no problems, my old dv7 has an Intel SSD and it's been good too _ no problems. Stay away from bargain deals with obscure brand names.
There are no official drivers posted for your machine for W8, so you can/will have to use the generic ones, but some times the HP OEM W7 drivers will work.
Start with you Chipset driver first _ I think it's Intel _ there are no specs listed as your's is a CTO model.
Get the Chipset driver direct from Intel _ they may have updated their auto driver finder to scan in a W8 environment.
Install the rest of the drivers in any order. You can also use Windows update to find the drivers as well, it's up to you.
Be aware that some things may not work in W8, like you finger print reader.
The SSD will behave exactly the same as a standard drive, the only difference is that it will run faster.

Installing SSD in customized HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Edition Notebook

I have a customized dv6t-7000 entertainment notebook and I would like to install an SSD to boot the OS. According to the manual, or at least from vague pictures in the manual, the SSD installs directly to the motherboard. It doesn't specify what type of SSDs the available replacement parts are and I can't view the specifics on the HP parts replacement website either. I am wondering what type of SSDs are compatible with the port in the laptop, is it for mSATA (SATA II or III) or for 2.5" SSDs. I don't know too much about SSDs, but I want to be able to find a compatible part. I currently use the optical drive, so I don't want to switch it out for a hard drive chasis. I understand that method would use a 2.5" SSD. If anyone can clarify what type of port is in the laptop and what SSDs are compatible, that would be awesome!
This question was solved.

Here is the Service Manual which will be helpful:
Manual
If your laptop is an Intel model then you have an mSSD slot which looks like a wireless slot.
See Page 71. Unfortunately the mSSD slot is a bear to access. If taking the laptop almost all the way apart is something you can do, then an mSSD is in the cards for you. If not, I strongly suggest simply replacing the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD drive. Even if you can get the mSSD installed, configuring the system to boot from the mSSD is also very hard if you also want to have a regular hard drive for storage. It is easier to apply the mSSD as an acceleration cache drive, making the main hard drive perform more like an SSD.

Upgrade for HP Pavilion HDX9300 CTO Notebook PC

Good morning people!
I have one HP Pavilion HDX9300 CTO Notebook PC and have some questions:
I am wanting to upgrade my HD drive for a SSD model and increase my DDR memory.
I know my memory operates at a frequency of 667 MHz but need to know if my notebook includes an upgrade to 8GB and what would be the ideal brand of memory card to do this.
I also need models of HD 480GB SSD compatible with my notebook.
Thank you all and sorry for english, I'm brazilian.

I checked out you service manual and it says the maximum amount of memory it can take is 4 GB or two 2 GB sticks.
I also went to Crucial and there memory advisor does confirm this.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01279508.pdf
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20HDX9300%20CTO&Cat=RAM
Crucial also gives you a bunch of different options for an SSD as well. It says that the 512 GB SSD will work, but it is expensive. Stick with a quality brand name like Crucial or Kingston. Avoid buying from e-bay.
When it comes to memory though just because the manual says the max is 4 GB does not mean that it can take more.
You can try installing two 4 GB sticks and it may work, it won't hurt the laptop to try, but there is no guarantee that it will work.
Keep in mind too that if you're running a 32 bit operating system it won't recognise a little more then 3 GB of memory anyway.

I have a sound problem with my HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

It was working properly but for some reasons it is not working I reinstall the IDT Codec driver but nothing happen
What should I do in this case

Hi,
Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device, select Properties and click the Drivers tab - is there any error code showing in the 'Device status' box?
Regards,
DP-K

HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC AMD Graphics driver

I have been having this problem for over a year (my warranty had conveniently just expired right before this started happening). It first started when I plugged in my computer to my tv through an HDMI cord (which I had done before with no problems). My computer shut down after loading up a game and when I finally got my computer back up and running, it said my AMD graphics card driver was not working properly. Every time I tried to repair or update it through the HP Website via the drivers list, it would crash my computer. After I unstalled the driver completely, it STILL crashes my computer upon trying to now re install it. I am very frustrated and at a loss, and I know there have been a lot of problems with these drivers in the past. They haven't even been updated since 2011... I built this computer to be a gaming lap top, and at this point it is just a suped up paper weight as there's no point in even having 8GB of RAM or 1TB of hard drive memory if I can't even run my games on it... Has anyone had this problem or found a solution to it?

HP Pavilion dv6t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook - no audio

Did diagnostics on the audio and that says everything is working. Reinstalled the audio driver. Also restored the notebook to an earlier date. Nothing has worked so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I searched google for one, I cannot find any for sale, ebay only showed parts for that model.

Is Data recovery from a damaged DVB-3000 COT notebook/laptop possible?

I replaced a hard drive for a DVB-3000 COT notebook/laptop. There are no additional cables to plug the old drive to attempt data recovery. Are there any external adaptors to attempt data recovery? Will I need software?
Any advise or link is appreciated
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If you wish to use your old HDD as an external HDD to recover data, you can use one of the external enclosure like one of these:
External Enclosures for HDD's
My suggestion, spend few dollars more to get the one with USB 3.0

Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
Thank you very much!

Hi:
The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade Processor

Hello,
Any help would be appreciated.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. Because of a new job I need to update my processor from the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specs below, please) to at least 3.0 GHz.
Is there a 3.0GHz processor out there that is compatible with this particular computer? I've called technical support and was told they don't know. I really don't know who else to ask.
This computer was just purchased a few months ago (before I got the new job). I would really like to avoid purchasing a new computer, if at all possible, if I can upgrade the processor in this one.
Here are the specs of the current processor:
Intel Core i7 3610QM
Code Name   Ivy Bridge
Package   Socket 988B rPGA
Technology   22nm
Specification   Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, there appears to be just one (that I've found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel makes for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the i7-3940XM Extreme edition (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)
At a retail price of $1,000+ it looks like I'm going shopping for a new computer.
Not sure if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I will not be purchasing another HP product.
This machine has had issues outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lacking in all areas Your techscannot even pull up the model number with the serial number.
Customers should not have to go out on the Internet to research questions like this.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

I asked this same question, and just received a response:
"Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
Mid-April of this year.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
In other words, there will be NO update.
