Hi:
The product specs page doesn't list what processor is installed in your notebook.
Below is the link to the dv5 service manual.

Bought a new HDD, but did not come up with OSX Lion. Will I be able to upgrade it for free?

So my HDD in my iMac had a failure, and so I brought it to Apple's Repair Center.
The technician suggested me to buy a new HDD, and so I did.
However it does not come up in OSX Lion.
Will I be able to upgrade it for free?
There's an online upgrade in the apple website, but when I submit the request, it did not recognize the serial number.

Sorry, no.
Customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac Computeror an Apple Certified Refurbished computer from the Apple Online Store on or after July 21, 2011 that does not include OS X Lion can upgrade to OS X Lion for free.

Hi:
I'm glad you posted first before buying as that drive is for desktop PC's only.
You want a 500 GB SATA II 2.5" 7,200 RPM notebook hard drive, such as this...this one is top of the line for the $$$
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-500GB-Internal-Drive/dp/B004LR1RPK/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie...
If you don't want to go that much, you can get a standard performing (5,400 RPM) drive like this one:

Upgrade strategy for 2008 Unibody: Comments wanted

Short-time lurker, first time poster. :-)
I have a 2008 unibody Macbook (2.4 GHz w/ 4 GB of RAM). It's not my primary computer, but it is my primary travel laptop. Currently it is running Snow Leopard and a Vista Bootcamp partition. I attempted Parallels, but was disappointed with the performance and memory utilization. I'm trying to put together
an upgrade strategy to get another 2-3 years of good practical work out of the machine, as it's in fairly good shape.
Usage for the machine is primarily in OS X while around the house, and a mix of 75% Windows / 25% OS X while traveling, due to the need to run some proprietary apps that are Windows-only. Most are processor and memory bound, rather than GPU bound, which is why I'm able to keep using this machine despite the relatively poor Nvidia GPU.
I've read a fair bit, and decided on getting a larger SSD (300 - 500 GB), probably the OWC 480 GB SandForce-based model, and upgrading to 8 GB of RAM. I'd also like to migrate the BootCamp install to Windows 7, because Vista really quite *****, and I'm on Win 7 everywhere else. However, I have a couple of questions I was hoping y'all could help me with / provide opinions and feedback.
1) Should I wait for the release of Mountain Lion, and do a clean install from a custom USB/DVD? Or should I do a clean reinstall of Snow Leopard, then upgrade to Mountain Lion through the App Store? I am primarily concerned about Boot Camp.
2) Recommendation on an SSD: My understanding is that this particular MB revision is SATA II, so the best I can hope for is 1.5 GB throughput because it will be split with the SuperDrive. I was looking at an OWC Mercury Electra 6G in 480 GB (though that may be overkill). I wanted enough space for a comfortable Windows and OS X install for bootcamp (and to re-try Parallels), and going with 240 GB seemed a bit...sparse.
3) Many of the modeling files I use are already pre-compressed to save space (it's not uncommon for a single simulation to use 4-5 GB grid files and produce 20-30 GB of "compressed" output. Should I stay away from SandForce, or just bite the bullet and pay the higher cost for the OWC Extreme drives?
4) I've read mixed reports about the ability for 2008 unibody Macbooks to address the full 8 GB of RAM, and instead only sees 6 GB. Is this true/false? They don't make 3 GB sticks, so I'm upgrading anyway, but it would be nice to know. I'm okay with only seeing 6 GB, but I'm curious whether folks have observed serious stability issues with an upgrade to 8 GB?
5) Are there any issues WRT Windows 7 through BootCamp on a non-Apple SSD that I should be worried about? I figured I could use TRIM while in BootCamp, and not worry about it in OS X. It still seems to be a toss-up (who do you believe!) whether TRIM makes a difference on SandForce SSDs or not, yes?
6) Any stability issues with FileVault2 full-disk encryption on SSDs in Lion I should worry about? Planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion as soon as it is available.
Thanks for putting up with teh n00b questions.

Get a regular HDD for your computer. It should be a notebook sized drive, SATA II-3.0 Gb/s, 7200 RPM. A Seagate XT500 Hybrid is a good trade-off of performance and price.

Hardware Update/Upgrade questions for Tecra S10-183

Hi,
TOSHIBA TECRA S10-183
Serial number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Model Number: PTSB3E-0YR04KGR
BTO code: P8700/2G/160G/15.4WBT/DS2/L/M/B/W/3G
Preinstalled Software: Yes [R11382GR]
Date of purchase: 05/13/2011
I use above notebook mobile professionals use for CAD programming and also for Office applications.
2GB of RAM (standard), I can increase to 4GB Kingston (a tie) on purchase.
With the 160GB HDD I had an awful lot at the beginning of loss of speed.
So I had let a month later to a 120GB OCZ Vertex switch from second
And ran for almost 9 months without problems.
Now I have not so much free place in my SDD. So I would like to
"Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB 2.5 SATA III"
Jump leave.
My question would be, I would get this problem?
1) In theory, SATA3 work perfectly well that 240GB SSD right?
In manual, it is up to 120GB SATA2 SSD in it. However, the handbook of 2009. So the information is very old. And at that time were not yet 240GB free for end users SATA3 SSD hard drives.
2) Are there any Windows Professional / Ultimate / Business 64 for 7 as this laptop?
Original I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I wanted my memory that is extended to 8GB. CAD program running on 64 bit operating system much better.
3) Is the graphics card soldered onto my laptop or can I let it replace it? So it's a plug-in card?
4) Can I move to a higher processor / CPU? To what size?
5) the Mobile UMTS and HSDPA / HSPAU / LTE is capable?
6) I still can not get on the Toshiba support site:
http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/
find when entering the serial number or the model number is not my laptop?
About an answer I would be very happy.
Sorry for this bad English. My Main Language is German!!
So i hope somebody can help me by my questions.
With kind regards,
Etem Basoglu

What is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro

what is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro. This is a pre unibody machine.
I am upgrading at the minute and can't make my mind up. I need a 7200rpm drive, but have heard some stories concerning overheating etc.
These are the drives I am looking at: Seagate Momentus, Hitachi Travelstar and Western Digital all 500GB, running at 7200rpm.

If you haven't already, you might look a the user comments at http://www.newegg.com on those hard drives. If you don't get other comments here, you might post in the MBP discussion (this is the iMac discussion) at https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro

Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

Hey,
the HDD in my Toshiba Satellite laptop isn't working anymore.
So I'm going to buy a new one today but which one do i need? Like how many inch? And is it a SATA connection or something?
Could someone please tell me to what i have to look when I buy a new HDD for this laptop

Hello Vivendi
One thing is strange to me: I presume that your L300 notebook is pretty new one and I don't understand why you want to buy new HDD. Is warranty still valid?
Please check it. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized service provider and I am sure you will get replacement for free.
If you want to buy it I also presume you want to replace it alone. So, remove the old HDD and on the white label you will find all necessary information about HDD.
Anyway, you need 2,5 SATA HDD.

New HDD for a Portage 2010

I have recently bought a second hand Portage 2010 but unfortunately the HDD has failed. The HDD is a MK3004GAH, I've searched the web and can't find anyone selling a replacement. I have tried ordering a MK4008GAH but it has a different interface that is not compatable. Does anyone know what drive I should buy to replace the MK3004GAH and where I should buy it from?
Thanks

Obviously it is not easy to find HDD replacement for this notebook model. I dont know where you live but you can check this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm and pick up some useful info.
Good luck!

I want to install the new HDD for Satellite 1410-303

Can I install the HDD MK8032GAX (80Gb Toshiba 2.5" IDE, 5400rpm, 16Mb) into my Toshiba Satellite 1410-303? Will BIOS detect it?

Unfortunately there is no official document about that because HDD upgrade is so-called dealer option and because of that there is no precise info about HDD upgrade. According to notebook specification, this notebook model is delivered with 20GB HDD.
I am pretty sure you can use 40 or 60 GB without any problems. About 80 GB I will not speculate but maybe someone has already tested and will post here in next few days.
Good luck!

What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011? I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200. Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm. How do I know what will fit??

I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs. They all are 5400 rpm. I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements. Tomorrow, there may be others.

New MBP 13" w/ Upgrade HDD/RAM question ??

Just received MacBook Pro 13" 2.26, along with larger HDD/RAM from 3rd party online retailer.
Question - Do I just upgrade HDD/RAM even before I start MBP for the first time? OR do I start MBP first do the registration, etc. THEN replace HDD/RAM afterwards?? Does it matter?
Also, using RESTORE disc on blank HDD will install EVERYTHING to factory default setting (apps, etc)??

I know it takes time but I would continue with the install just to make sure the stock HD is ok.
Yes, once you install your 3rd party HD you can use your install Disk. When you install your new hard drive you need to put in the install Disk and format your new HD before loading the install.
Here are the steps I use:
1. Put in your install Disk (make sure it's the INSTALL DISK #1)
2. Remove old HD and install new HD.
3. Restart Computer and hold down the Option, Command, P, R keys all at the same time (this is known as resetting PRAM) until I hear 3 bong sounds...then release all keys. I would recommend if you haven't done this yet to practice.
4. After I release the keys I turn OFF the computer by holding the down on the power button until the power goes off.
5 Press the power button and before the first bong press and HOLD the C key until I see the spinning spoke wheel...then release the C key.
6 Once booted to the install Disk #1 go to disk utilities and format the new HD drive using the GUID partition table.
7. Start the install.

How much and what kind of memory can I install to upgrade my G72-b57cl notebook?

I have installed what I thought was the recommended memory for my G72-b57cl notebook, but I cannot get windows to boot or recover after installing it. The BIOS recognizes the memory and a memory check also recognizes it, but windows 7 64-bit will not operate. Is it the memory or windows?

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02623152.pdf
Memory upgrade info can be found in chapter 1 on page 2.
Max is 2 x 4 GB (8 GB) of PC3-1333 memory.
You have to pay particular attention to the fact that HP notebooks need PC3-10600 memory.
There are some memory modules out there which are PC3-10660 or PC3-10666.
The above 2 variations will normally give the user problems.

Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

Hello.
I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.

Hi,
The following link shows specs of your machine:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03666370
and the following link shows manuals, guides for your machine:
   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=5361167
Page #1 of manusl #1 shows a list of CPU's supported.
You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.
