Wireless module change in pavilion DV7 (amd), to give support for GHz fequency

Hi
Can someone please tell me which wireless module would be best suited (compatible) to the pavilion dv7(amd) so that it might support the GHz "n" type signal. Currently it has the broadcom 4313b/g/n, which although has n in the description, does not actually support GHz! I have looked on the dv7 support manual and it lists Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n as a part used in the laptops, but I can currently locate a new one, only used from USA. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me which would be the best replacement and from where to purchase it, if possible.
Thanks

Hi @h20roks ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7 and getting the BSOD and shutting down. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Not rollback.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that could need updating.

Pavilion dv7 blue screening - HP support assistant cannot test BIOS or memory modules but BIOS can?

About a month ago my dv7 started doing something strange - during normal use (not gaming, just word processing, showing a powerpoint presentation, showing a video on youtube, etc.) the cooling fan speed would suddenly ramp up to jet-engine speed and shortly thereafter the computer would blue screen, crash dump, etc. (no, I did not write down any info from the blue screen message - I will do so next time). Having experienced a blue screen issue with a Dell laptop I thought the hard drive was going bad, because about the same time I was suddenly unable to run a backup of the hard drive. After several attempts, I was finally able to backup the hard drive, and then replaced it with a new drive, re-installed OS with my recovery flash drive, worked through all of the windows updates that were recommended, and thought everything would be good to go. Now I have no problems backing up hard drive, etc. Then on day 2, after only a few hours of use, the cooling fan speed suddenly ramped up again and the blue screen returned.
A friend who is a tech suggested running HP diagnostics on everything, so I rebooted, hit F2, and started by testing the hard drive; as expected, no problems there. I next tried to test the memory (8192 MB total in two modules), and the test failed. I also tried testing the BIOS, and that too failed. The HP diagnostics reported that it couldn't even read the BIOS. Hmmm, strange. So I re-booted, hit F10, and went into the BIOS (BIOS date 10/5/11, revision F.1B). I HAVE NOT IN ANY WAY MODIFIED THE BIOS - I'm good, but not that good. Via the BIOS test utility, I tested both memory modules independently and then together, and everything checked out fine. I also tried switching modules between slots and re-tested via the BIOS utility, and that too checked out. I then returned to the HP diagnostics utility and tried re-testing the memory (both modules together - failed, one module at a time - both failed, in both slots).
HP tech experts, can you give me any guidance? This has been a great machine for me, I have taken good care of it, and am hoping to get a few more years out of it (I'm a middle-school science teacher, can't afford another one at this point). If I can't find a fix, I may have to go back to using my antique overhead projector in my classroom...

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop - Raid 1 for two 1TB HDDs?

HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx Laptop
B3K25PA#ABG
Windows 7 Home Premium
Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV7 with two 1TB HDDs and a 32GB m-sata cache/ssd.
I would like to put the two HDDs into a RAID 1 (mirror) array.
When I enable RAID I loses the ability to boot into Windows.
I have verified that the Laptop will run the two HDDs in RAID 1 as I can run a Linux Boot disk ahd then boot into Windows 7 succesfully.
Something in the Raid /Boot configuration is not allowing the Laptop to boot directly into Windows.
Any ideas or instruction would be helpful please?
Regards
Gazman

Hello @Micro-Motive ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues booting after setting up RAID 1 on your DV7-7008tx notebook.
When setting up RAID 1 mirrors you need to enable the feature and then format the drives. After they have been formatted Windows must be reinstalled. If you have not already done this, please try it now and let me know if you still have the problem.
Why: Enabling the Raid 1 feature does not automatically mirror the drives. The Boot MGR is looking for the content on both drives but is only finding it on 1 and thus fails to load.
I think it's also important to explain that setting up RAID 1 with a 32GB SSD flash along with a 1TB mechanical drive is going to drastically reduce your storage space. RAID 1 mirrors the content on both drives so it can read from both at the same time, increasing read and write speeds. The downside to this is that the mirror only works to the extent of the smallest drive. Thus, your turning your 1TB drive into a 32GB drive.
See here for more information: Chapter 19. GEOM: Modular Disk Transformation Framework This article is for FreeBSD users, an open source Unix-like operating system but the same rules apply as RAID support occurs at the BIOS level.
What you may want to do is install a hybrid drive. A hybrid drive will allow you to use the speeds of SSD at a fraction of the price. You can read about this here: Hybrid hard drives: How they work and why they matter.
Let me know if you need any more information or if installing Windows after enabling RAID 1 does not work.

I was looking at this one: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-advanced-n-6230.html
Can you tell if it will fit in my notebook or not?
And is it any good, or you recommend other adaptor?

You're very welcome.
No, it has to do with HP locking out untested, unvalidated cards from being installed as their way of meeting the FCC SAR compliance testing standards mandated by the U S government.
Folks have complained to the n'th degree about this, but to no avail. HP's handlng of this will never change even though other notebook manufacturers have to meet the same requirements and don't lock unsupported cards out of the BIOS.
If you want further info regarding this matter, you can read this link below.
http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=22884
Folks from other countries complain that this regulation has nothing to do with them but they seem to miss 2 points:
1. HP is a US corporation and has to follow US rules. And again, this is how they choose to comply.
2. Their own countries may have similar regulations they don't know about.
Just make absolutely sure you read the service manual and get one of the cards with the HP part number on it, if you plan to install another supported card than the one you have.

Digital I/O Module... thanks Creative and Shannon in support for NOTHI

I love the way she brushes you off with a 'swap PCI cards and reload the drivers.' The thing that's so frustrating is that she knows **bleep* good and well that it's not going to fix the problem, yet she has the cold heart to send you off to perform an hour worth of work for no good reason. If creative cares this little about its users, then I'll be sure to never use them again. I've used Sound Blaster cards since the old ORIGINAL 8-bit sound card, a full length 8-bit ISA card in a 286. They've made a lot of money off of me, but their greed and lack of support has ensured I will never buy another product from them again. Note... my issue is the 'switching between Mic-In and Digial I/O every time the PC is rebooted' problem. They (CLabs) know about it, they know it's a problem, and it's probably a very simple one to fix. They just flat out don't care. A big **bleeeeeeeeeeeep** AdamFt. Worth, TXMessage Edited by Dale-CL on 2-20-2006 05:54 PM

adam2hick: First off, please leave the foul language off the forums. The censor is there for a reason, work-around it again and you'll probably be banned.
Next, Our advisors don't just send customers off on random tasks. I was a phone advisor here once, and I can tell you that doesn't happen. If she sent you to do something like that, then likely someone has managed to fix the problem that way before. Just because a particular fix doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesn't work. Computers are like that sometimes.
And finally, generally when I have run into issues with settings reverting themselves after a reboot, I find it's the antivirus programs causing the issue. Windows (and the CL sound manager in this case too) stores it's settings in the registry. Certain antivirus programs (not all of them, just the pain-in-the-butt ones) often block that by changing the registry back when Windows boots up. So any settings stored there are lost, often wit h the effects you are having.
I can't promise this will fix it in your case, it has merely worked for me repeatedly in the past for other customers. Just check your antivirus software's settings for any kind of "registry protection" and turn it off. If you can't find any, try uninstalling your antivirus/spyware protection, reboot, change that setting, reboot again, and see if the problem went away. If it did, you can narrow down what program may be causing it.
Good luck,
Dale

HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo GPU drivers don't work on Win8.1 and ones for Win7 are older than my grandma

I got
HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo
i7-2670QM 2.2 GHz
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
1TB SATA 5400RPM
AMD Radeon HD 6770M - 2 GB GDDR5 out of ~6GB dedicated
Installed the latest version of Win 8.1 + all it's updates + the update 1. So it's as latest as possible. Even installed those Win Updates that MS threatened they will only offer to a certain point it time in May and not later than that. So it's all updated.
However, the GPU drivers don't work. Tried different forums too and even tried those brightness registry fix files, but still to no avail. Will HP ever provide a meaningful GPU driver both for Win7 and Win8? I am saying Win7 too, cos the one offered currently for my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo is ridiculously old ....

HP are quiet .. they know they've been lazy ...

Pavilion dv7-3165dx will not boot up

This pavilion dv7-3165dx has worked flawlessly for 8 years. Now when I turn it on, the lights come on and the fan runs, but nothing loads up, not Windows, not BIOS, nothing. The screen stays blank. I have cycled the power several times with the same result. I checked the BIOS battery, and it is good: 3.25 volts.

Hi there @Terry49,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your notebook is no longer starting up properly, and I am happy to help with this.
I would start out with this process, and see if there is any change. It is possible that just the hard reset is required.
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Also check your power adapter, and if you have another one, try it out, and also try a different wall outlet.
I hope this helps.

Quicklaunge buttons on my HP Pavilion dv7-2260ed not working and always red

The quicklaungebuttons (Mute, Volume, cd options and wireless) on my HP Pavilion dv7-2260ed stopped working and are always red. This happend 3 weeks ago. I runned the HP assistent but no errors were found. Any help is welcome

Hi, I have more or less exactly the same problem.
I own a pavilion dv7 1090eb, which originally had Vista 32bit on it, but I updated to Windows 7 32bit more than a year ago,
not long after 7 was released. Ever since that update (or a few days after, I don't really remember) I've been having problems with the quick launch buttons.
For over a year it was just my mute button that was always orange. I could still mute my sound, but when not muted, it sounded like it was really filtered, all the low and the high were gone, only low mid sounds remained.
My jack exits, both of them, however, still work fine, and I have good audio through external speakers, so I kind of solved that.
But still, the laptop itself has great sound, so I should be able to get that without having to carry around external speakers wherever I go.
Oh and I used to have the same problem with Vista from time to time, but after rebooting it would just go back to normal.
But now just today, I left my laptop on for about 2 hours for some image rendering while I was away, and I switched the wifi off, which I usually do when I leave my laptop unattended. But when I came back, it wouldn't turn back on again, and none of the quick launch buttons worked anymore.
I tried reinstalling all drivers after I did some troubleshooting options which didn't work.
Turned it off and on again a couple of times.
Then found this thread and installed the above link, rebooted, still doesn't work.
What now? What can I do to resolve this problem?
I really hope I can get a solution for this.

HP Pavilion dv7-6c66nr - Win 7 HP 64 bits - Boot manager missing

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with Win 7 Home Premium edition pre-installed, it is a 3.5 years old computer, seldom used by me. As my previous computer with XP was close to the end of is life I decided to investigate if it was possible to use the Pavilion.
I intend to have the Pavilion with the windows 7 sp1 and HP drivers, so at startup I pressed f11 to enter HP Recover Manager, chose “Minimized Image Recover” and the software installed the intended image
With windows 7 sp1 installed I install all windows updates till two days ago and also an handful of HP drivers updates
Then I made 1 bootable CD windows recover disk with windows, and 1 system image windows also, that I save to a usb hd drive
Everything was going ok but the cyberlink software could not connect with the computer embedded camera. I took several steps to solve the problem and it seems that the camera was not connected (hard disconnected).
I was not sure if before the minimized installation the webcam was operating well and once more I used HP “Recover Manager” to return to the full installation
As the web camera was not operating even with the full installation, I decided to return to the streamlined installation.
I tried a short cut to the original process, and instead of going to the HP Recover Manager and a once more update of windows and HP drivers I tried to use my previous produced system image with windows, so I went to Control Panel and used windows recover from the image, copying all to the same place (I was prompt to replace a lot of existing files). At the end of the process a received a message about same errors generated by the process but I do not investigated at that time.
When I reboot the PC I have a “BOOTMGR is missing/ Press Ctrl+Alt+Del” message and a blinking prompt
Now if I attempt Recover Manager to do a “minimized image recover” I receive an 0xEFFFFF08 error code and if I tried the full image after a rather short time it announces that the 1st stage is finished and it goes boot to proceed with the second half of the process, it goes off and reboot with the “BOOTMGR is missing/ Press Ctrl+Alt+Del” message and a blinking prompt
Can anyone helps me? I have no HP recover disks (it seems that HP do not sell rescue disks anymore for pavilion dv7 and Win7)
Happy 2015 for all

Create a System Repair Disk on another Windows 7 computer to use your computer if it fixes anything.
If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks otherwise the WorldWide site:
http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html
If the recovery disks are not available through HP, they have them at Computer Surgeons:

I'm pretty sure battery capacity doesn't related with power performance of your system.. (in a notebook)
well perhaps this is just another way of people to advertise their website.
anyway. go for the biggest capacity, make sure it's genuine, and you can unplug ur battery if you dont have one

You can go through Page 4 Chapter 1 of service manual. As far as your graphics chip is concerned, your current Intel HD 3000 GPU is integrated into your Motherboard and as such, is not an upgradeable component.
Although Models similar to yours come with a 'Dedicated Graphics Card', the 'Card' is still soldered to the Motherboard and can't be changed.

PAVILION DV7 QUAD WIRELESS CARD UPGRADE?

My dv7 quad came with the intel centrino wireless n 1030. I tried to update it to the intel n 6235 and it wont boot up and tells me this module is not compatible. i have a picture and will try to upload. 1. iam looking for a wireless card that is dual band and 300mbps. if anyone can help my find this that will work that would be great.

I clicked the link you provided regarding the Bios. I already have the version (F.29) installed. I do not want to use an external dongle as that essentially brings the functionality and convenience of using my laptop back 10 years. Sorta like adding an external floppy drives to computers in the old days, or the God forsaken Ipads nowadays. Taking a step backwards to say the least. In regards to the Broadcomm 4322, which particular part number are you referring to? A quick search reveals this is old technology that rarely works with Windows 7 and is replete with problems. Most people only get it to work with Windows XP, and only marginal at best. A search within HP own forums brings up similar comments. It seems users of Pavilion DV7's and DV6's are locked out of new technology even though our computers are only a couple of years old. Not something I was aware of, or expected when I purchased two top end HP Laptops at the time. Thanks for your replies, but it seems I'm still in the same boat as everyone else with these products. Surely there has to be a way for HP to allow their customers to upgrade to new technology? I can't believe HP deliberately relegated a large swath of their products to planned obsolescence? As I said before, this is a specific widespread problem as described in Amazon product reviews, HP forums, a a multitude of other technical help sites. I'm a big spender when it comes to computers, as many people are. This doesn't help your cause. Regards...
