EliteBook 8740w: HP elitebook 8740w mobileworkstation
My HP elitebook 8740w mobileworkstation, continues to give me a message unknown device is not a driver & shows the problem with the PnP devices. Trying to use my laptop to hook a projector, but it will not mirror or even appear on the screen. Can anyone help?
Hello:
I doubt that this missing driver is the cause of the video problem you are experiencing.
However, you need the driver for this device.
This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard to the notebook models and operating systems. HP 3D DriveGuard receives notifications of the built-in accelerometer and protects the hard drive (HDD) by automatically "the heads of parking" to reduce the risk of damage if the laptop is accidentally moved or deleted.

As much on the PC do not project onto a screen, the only suggestion I can offer is make sure you have installed the driver of graphics for model graphics card that has your laptop.
There are pilots of 7 cards listed on the support page, so unfortunately, I don't know that you need.
A missing graphic driver is usually the cause of problems like this.

HP ELITEBOOK 8740W compatible RAM
Hello
I have a HP 8740W with 4 GB of RAM and I added 2 GB Kingston PC 10600 S-9-10-F0.
The BIOS detects the total RAM as 6144MB, but the test break-in says failure memory.
It's this particular type of SODIMM incompatible with Elitebook 8740W, or it must be 4 GB already installed?Is there a list of brands and the RAM compatible?
Thank you.
Hello:
I always get the memory with 8 little black chips on each side of the Board.
The memory modules with 4 black chips on each side of the Board do not work for some reason any.
May have to do with density.
A 1, 2 or 4 GB chip should work fine. This is other than a 4 GB module... memory will not work in DDR mode, but it will take place.

WiFi not detected after installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Elitebook 8740w
Hello
I used a DVD to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit to replace Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on my Elitebook 8740w. In the end, I used a new facility as the upgrade option ended with a failure error. However, after the clean installation, it cannot detect any wifi. What drivers I am likely to need download and re - install?
Thank you, in advance.

So I discovered that my laptop is a version of the basic model of the Elitebook 8740w so I'm missing 2 RAM slots. However, I went to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB the other day, and after ensuring all the RAM was split and firmly fixed my laptop would only flicker the lights indicating that my ports were dirty, RAM was split in correctly or I ordered the bad RAM sticks (which I didn't, I double checked). So I have of the 4 GB split into the slot of the RAM under the keyboard and replace one of the original 2 GB sticks in the other RAM more accessible location at the bottom of the computer. Laptop started fine. I'll try the RAM slot again later tonight when I get home from work, but if anyone has any experience with this issue, I'd love to hear corrections or explanations on what I can do wrong.
I also want to note that I checked the specifications of the computer and it says that it should support the 8 GB of RAM or more. However I do not know if this is a generalization of the product since it usually comes with 4 vs slots of RAM upgrade only the 2 I have in my laptop.
Quad Core versions have 4 RAM slots and Dual Core 2 slots. Max 32 gig and 16 gig respectively. Try the reslotting and let us know how it goes. 8 concerts must be OK, assuming that compatible. If the problem persists, please provide the manufacturer for both modules reference numbers.

EliteBook 8740w wake after sleep
Hi all
I bought laptop HP EliteBook 8740w
I have several problems...
Thus,.
Configuration:
(i5-520M, 4 GB, 320 HARD drive ATI 7820 M)
OS - preinstalled Windows 7 Prof 64 bit
All windows updates and the latest drivers for the chipset, video and so forth have been installed.
1. computer laptop doesn't wake up after the mode 'sleep', i.e. all coolers start working really hard and LEDs are burning bright, but leaves black screen (5, 10, and several minutes, but no progress)
I assumed problem with the BIOS, I have BIOS F.03 28.04.2010 but worm real version is F.09
I went to the HP support and downloaded the latest site.
But I can't update BIOS!
If I use HPQFlash.exe program, he said: "after the operating system restarts, BIOS will be updated", but after restarting the BIOS operating system has old version
If I use the options - key USB system after formatting and copying files (I checked the files on the flush), but when I try to load OS from hard Ras (after restart of ESC, F9), I see error - this disc is not system drive has chosen another, or something like that
I tried at least trees different readers RAS, and always had the same result.
I even downloaded bios f.08 version, but the same situation too.
So, I try to summarize the problems
1. computer laptop is not wake up after fashion 'sleep'
2. it is not able to update BIOS
3. What's wrong with loading PC from a USB...
Is any body could help me... pleeeeeeze
To solve the problem with the sleep mode, need update Intel management engine complete
I've downloaded firmware from here http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=4138087&prodNameId=4137878&swEnvOID=4059&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-85374-1
waking up after sleep works now!
BTW
about boot from USB, I tested the USB hard disk - it worked properly...
but the boot of steel hunting impossible...
and the BIOS is not updated either...

EliteBook 8740w thinks that the lid is closed, but it is open?
Hello
I have an EliteBook 8740w running Windows 7 64 bit and I have a strange problem where the laptop seems to think that the cover is closed when it is open.
If the cover is open, the screen is off the touchpad and keyboard, the two do not work and not the function of the buttons volume or wifi. When the screen is almost completely closed the screen turns back on, the keyboard and the mouse are beginning to work again, but it is not usable, because it is about 5 degrees, far from fully closed.
It seems that it is just reverse how it is supposed to work?
All this happened when I unplugged my power cord. The screen turned white and it has been in place since then. I tried several reboots, nothing seems to recover.
I can run on my external monitor very well, so the laptop seems to be otherwise functional
Thanks in advance for any ideas
Maybe you did not reset properly.
Remove the battery and adapter and all the things connected to the laptop.
Hold the power button down for 1 full minute and only plug the adapter back to (do not insert the battery) and start.
The next time you stop everything, install the battery.

Where to find the drivers for my CD EliteBook 8740w reader
I have an EliteBook 8740w, Windows 7 pro - 64. The system says my CD is no longer recognized, and that the driver is corrupted. "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »
CD is indicated in the device as DVDRAM GT30L Manager but is listed as a Standard CD-ROM player and gives details of the manufacturer. How can I make and download a new driver?

EliteBook 8740W after HP, SD card reader driver update appears as XD Picture Card
Hello
I have an EliteBook 8740W mobile workstation, and it's been great up to a recent software update.
I don't know exactly when it started because I use not the constantly SD card reader but after a recent update HP Support Assistant, the SD card reader has a problem: any type of card, I put in there, he thinks it's a xD Picture Card.
I have several different SD cards and tried all. They work fine on other devices; but when I put in the card on the EliteBook reader, same thing: Xd Picture Card. If I click it to open it Windows says 'Please insert a Picture Card xD'
Device Manager displays the card reader, like the three types of support:
But if I turn off the device of xD-Picture card, it doesn't recognize any card inserted at all.
So, basically, the SD 'detection', if nothing else, is broken, and he thinks that SD cards are cards xD.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the full card reader drivers and it still does the same thing.
Thank you!
Right click on each of these Ricoh entries in Device Manager and select uninstall.
When finished
Right click on any device in DM and select 'Search for hardware changes' Windows reinstall the hardware and drivers, see if that helps, if not I think the reader can have due to a malfunction.
Use a bright flashlight and make sure nothing got in the card slot that should not be there.

HP Elitebook 8740w: validity and windows 10 fingerprint sensor: does not
Dear all,
I come to you today because I have already tried many (perhaps all) of the suggested solutions posted on this forum.
Unfortunately, I could never get a correct installation, work.
After upgrading to windows 10 (automatic update of windows - online) the sensor of fingerprint of validity (VFS451) just stopped working.
When you try to uninstall the VFS driver by using Device Manager, biometrics will disappear from the list of devices. After the reboot, biometrics will show the sensor of validity as if nothing happened, same version (2.3.0.0) driver and the same driver details?. Tried to manually update the uninstall third-party drivers (Lenovo) etc. without success.
I never got to the point where Windows Hello could appear and allow me to configure the sensor.
Hope someone has a solution, at least to uninstall the driver, as seems to be the main problem.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and your advice.

EliteBook 8740w: Elitebook 8740w fingerprint reader not found and etc.
Has had a catastrophic disk failure. Installed the new drive and Win 7 SP1. Having trouble getting everything to work. Is there a driver, bundle, utility, available for this computer now? I tried protect Tools Security Manager, would not move due to incompatibility of the material, there must be 50 versions of this Suite, I used that to Win 7 64 bit, sp62498. Webcam works with Skype but cannot find the utility. The list continues, other suggestions that buy the restore disc? Or can I?
I generally like the HP software, where can I find?
Thank you
Hello:
I normally don't try to find better drivers that the windows update installs unless you install the driver that windows update works not just for some reason any.
If you live in the USA/Canada, just call HP at this number... 1-800-334-5144 and command of a set of recovery disks.
Have the serial number of the workstation mobile handy to give to the customer service rep.

Hello
I bought my work laptop from my employer. During the startup of my employer's legal name is still displayed on the splash screen ' "(the screen with the HP logo).
-J' already started back and ran the EREPLOGO. EXE utility to remove the logo (ereplogo.exe/e). The utility said that the logo has been removed;
-in the BIOS 'view custom logo' is unchecked, so it will not use an image of the partition tools hp;
However, during the startup the company name is still displayed on the top of the screen... :-(
(1) how can I change this text to start or remove it completely?
(2) what can I do to display the specifications of hardware during startup instead of this "splash screen"?
Thanks in advance,

PS I have the latest BIOS (F.60 Rev.A, November 30, 2015)
Hello
I managed to change the line of text with the BiosConfigUtility64.exe.
With "BiosConfigUtility64 getconfig:config.txt", you can write all the values in the bios and a text file with "BiosConfigUtility64 setconfig.config.txt", you can set all the values after you change the values you want to change. In my case, that I had to change the value of "property tag", which is the value that appears in the home screen during the boot process.
Later, I discovered the tag 'property' can also be changed under the Security tab of the configuration of the BIOS (F10) normal... until I knew what the property tag, I associate the line of text to security so I did find the text before :-) field
