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.

Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC and need to get it restored back to windows 7 after upgrade to windows 8.
I have tried the F11 system restore option at boot but it says a boot file is missing, so that is not working.
I am in search of the recovery disk for this system module as i did not create a back up recovery disk before the upgrade.
Does anyone have this and is willing to upload online so i get it, or of there is a way to get this done.
Looking forward to your assistance.

Please order the discs for your HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook Computer directly from HP online at "Order software and driver media" or by contacting HP Customer Support by phone, email, or chat.
Alternatively, you may try setting the HP recovery partition as "Active" using the Windows "Disk Management" console and then rebooting the computer.

Upgrading CPU - HP Pavilion dv6-3236nr Entertainment Notebook PC

hello all,
First post here and what i am trying to do is research the possibilities of upgrading my CPU. The model is in the subject line and i will include as much info as i could find:
HP Pavilion dv6-3236nr Entertainment Notebook PC
Intel core i3 M370 with 2.4Ghz and 4gb memory
64 bit running windows 7
Trying to upgrade to an i5 possibly. Maybe upgrade the RAM if anyone has a reason why it would be necessary. Trying to stay cheap and plug and play, as i don't want to replace anything but these two components.
Thanks for any guidance!

Hi,
The 3rd manual of the following link will show you many things such as a list of CPU's supported, RAM supported, how to open and shut the machine:

Power supply for HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC.
The power supply (AC adaptor) that it comes with is HP part number 608428-002.
I also have a different power supply (AC adaptor) that came with a much older HP Pavilion notebook. This older power supply is HP part number 519329-003.
Is the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx compatible with the older power supply (part number 519329-003)?
Thanks!
Mike

519329-003 is definitely the right part number. I just double-checked, and that's what's written on the hardware. If you do a google search for "hp part 519329-003", you get a ton of results.
The older HP notebook has another power supply, with HP part number 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428-002. So I know that 608428-002 and 519329-003 are equivalent.
Is the newer notebook (the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx) compatible with the power supply that has HP part number 608428-002?

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.

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.

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.

Windows 10 and Drivers/BIOS for HP Pavilion DV6 7112HE Entertainment Notebook

Hello, I recently updated to Windows 10. I wanted to know if HP is working with Intel on releasing new drivers? Also, how about a Windows 10 BIOS update for my laptop? I do not have the option to revert back to my previous OS, it would be nice if anyone can shed light on this issue.

In this case iNtel will release the driver themselves since the last driver update on HP driver site. That is where you will find a updated driver from the hardware manfacture site not from HP at this point in time. UE wrote:
Updated HP Pavilio DV6 yesterday to Windows 10 and Wireless stopped working. F12 button stuck to orange and cannot turn on Wireless. My laptop has Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 adapter and there is no new Windows 10 driver software available. Still searching for the solution...This is part of the problem with upgrading to Windows 10 some of your hardware will be compatible and some of it will not be. What you need to do is install the last Windows drivers again into Windows 10 and if it works you will know. I am aware that drivers for Intel are released through Intel, and pushed through Windows Update. However, the issue at hand is also the BIOS which has nothing to do with Intel, hence the topic title. Thanks for your response.

I need recovery media for HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

The hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new SSD. The recovery disks that came from the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy won't work. Best Buy said to get them from HP and they would reimburse me. I can't find out how to order them on the HP website.
This question was solved.

Hi:
The product specs for your model indicate it came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I do not see that you can order recovery media online for your model so you will have to call HP at this number 1-(800) 474-6836, and see if they still carry them.
If not, you can still order a set from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

I recently purchased a Seagate momentus as replacement http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 thinking it would be compatible but when i tried to replace
the connections(interface) was not compatible with the laptop. Is there an adapter to resolve this problem?
if not which hdds are compatible?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
If you have the original HDD, check that there is not a black plastic adapter that you can pull off the old drive and fit to the new one.

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-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.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!
This question was solved.

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.

HP Pavilion dv4t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I was gifted this HP Pavilion dv4t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC laptop in October 2008 which was purchased in US. I am residing in India. In the first 6 months, the keyboard started having problems. I took this laptop to the HP service center in Bangalore, India which told me that this model is not supported in India. (Product Code # KH600AV)
Somehow I managed to send this back to US for repairing which got repaired under warranty.
Now my laptop is not rebooting. There seems to be some issue with the motherboard.
So far, HP Service Center in India is denying that it is not supported in India. Is there anyone who have come across situation.
Please let me know.
-Regards
Rahul Kshirsagar

The maximum memory supported by this notebook is 8192MB(8GB). Your notebook as 2 memory slots hence you need to get two 4GB modules each in order to upgrade it.
