4010nr spectrum 15 HP: 4010nr spectrum 15 HP Wifi upgrade

Hello

I would like to know if there is an option to upgrade the WIRELESS card on my laptop. Currently it is stock adapter Intel 6235 BGN. Is it possible to install Intel Wireless 3160HMW 802.11ac ?

As I remember, there is a sort of 'white list' of compatible cards... This one will work? or shall I seek another specific model?

P.S

Searched all over the internet, no info found. Would be useful if HP publishes compatible HW for their products, upgrades would be easier

@Tardis40,.

I know that all frame numbers, originally used in my laptop.

I am currently looking for those, who are supported as a replacement/upgrade

The question is to know that it is possible to upgrade wifi without making manual "adjustments" to the BIOS and disable the compatibility check (which is not a desirable solution)

[UPDATE]

INTEL 3260 AC adapter - seems to work correctly (cannot test AC in fact, given that no available home router). At least - it works with N, BT works too...

My conclusion - it IS POSSIBLE to upgrade, however the wifi adapter should be for HP (adapters, from Lenovo, Asus, etc. only will work for sure)

  • Spectrum X 360: Filling of spectrum X 360 after upgrade Windows 10

    Hello

    It is a total disappointment for my upgrade from Windows 10! I bought my new spectrum X 360 a month ago, it was a pleasant experience using Windows 8 is very responsive and fluid. Since I've upgraded to Windows 10 earlier, everthing seems to be delayed for several seconds (I guessed that delay for at least 2 seconds), any, I tried to start the file Explorer, browsing the internet, same launch HP support assistant is much slower than Windows 8!

    Before the windows 10 updated, I did all the updates that are listed in HP support assistant and windows updates. When the 10 window installation was complete, I again applied all updates according to HP support assistant and windows updates. Now, I found the updates is available for both parties. But my nature of system late, please help.

    Thank you very much.

    @gaogao,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  What you can do at this point that there are several updates released by microsoft and hardware vendors is running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    If this fails to solve the problem.  The only option will be to restore the operating system to the previous, until HP gets the drivers so that they can release them on the support page for your laptop for Windows 10.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • 15-4010nr spectrum: spectrum 15-4010nr Thunderbolt Firmware Configuration failed

    Theres a post existing on the use of this http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/thunderbolt-spectre/td-p/2248647/page/6 configuration utility

    Essentially, it allows to run unlicensed thunderbolt devices, which is apparently the Apple Firewire adapter Thunderbolt that I am using.

    The configuration utility itself is here - ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp61501-62000/sp61579.exe

    Instructions for using it are here - http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03725328#SpectreConfiguring

    When I run this utility on a whole new 8.1 Windows Installer (fully updated), it does not work and so prevents me from using my port thunderbolt in the way that I want. I need to know how to get the utility to run and/or modify the registry to create the same changes. When I run currently, I get the error output below.

    Ive tried running it in each mode of compatibility offered, it still fails every time.

    Ive been fighting with this machine for over a week now, and I finally found the solution yesterday only to find out that it does not work. I need someone to HP to tell me how I can run my Thunderbolt "unlicensed" device that should not be up to HP in the first place.

    For some reason the configuration utility is not compatible with windows 8.1 Although it works with win8. I'm not an expert but my experience almost everything that works on win8 also works on the 8.1, so clearly HP must update this utility to work with 8.1. I imagine that this will be an easy fix. While youre at it, make it work with windows 10 as well.

    I can then try is upgrading to 8.1 after running the win8 utility, under the assumption that the change of firmware is reported in 8.1. If it works, its possible it would be deferred to win10 as well. Of course, a new installation would not work but should upgrade.

    Assuming that works, the main limitation is that you can not have a clean install of 8.1 or 10 and use your port thunderbolt to its full potential. I think its ridiculous that HP is thunderbolt devices can be used and which can not. If one does not work because of material or other compatibility issues major, then it works simply. Theres no reason to exclude hundreds, or even thousands of other devices that probably work fine, just because there may be some who don't.

    HP considring went from love at first sight, I doubt this will ever addressed. I just hope the people who do not have to scour the web for a week just to find a glimmer of hope to get their devices working experience this problem in the future.

  • Spectrum XT Touchsmart Ultraboo: Can I upgrade with a 9.5 mm HDD?

    I have a HP spectrum XT TouchSmart Ultrabook 15 - 4010nr, which came with a 500 GB of 7 mm and a 32 GB SSD hard drive.  I need a bigger hard drive.  Can I replace the hard drive of 7 mm with a 9.5 mm HDD?  I ask because the larger 7 mm HDD I can find is 1 TB.  Largely, I would prefer at least a 2 TB drive.  If I can use a hard drive 9.5 mm, are there disadvantages or additional parts, I need?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    No Ultrabooks are able to be skinny because they use ultraslim 7 mm discs. A 9.5 might not fit into the space available.

    From the Manual:

    Support for 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks in 7, 0 mm (. 28 - in.) thick

  • Spectrum Analyzer?

    Hi all

    I am looking to invest in a DAW for audio work (obviously), but I'm torn between Logic Pro X and Adobe Audition CC. I'm not a fan of the Adobe subscription model so I would invest in LPX, but the problem is that I can't find the function that I need.

    Adobe Audition CC has a Spectrum Analyzer and allows me to eliminate noise from my soundscapes, but I can't find the feature in LPX. Y at - it to download a plugin or a way to do this? I don't do music production, I am more than a sound designer for the theater and cinema and use recorded sounds so clean and restore is more what I'm looking for. I am rather new to this and would like any input you can provide.

    Thank you!

    I've been a user of the logic for many years, but I use Izotope RX as a plug-in (s) in the logic for a serious cleanup work.

  • Spectrum x 360: bios boot menu and boot times

    Serial number (deleted content) product number T1D62EA #ABU

    I'm a bit disappointed by the time which takes about 25 seconds to start. The main delay seems to be the time taken before the HP logo appears. It takes about 5 or 6 seconds until appear a message "press the esc key to access the boot menu", and then another a few seconds before the HP logo. After that, it is very fast.

    Is it possible to start directly on the HP logo?

    Before buying this laptop I buy one from Microsoft Store (decided to change because of the largest SSD hard drive) and this book started in 1.1 seconds. I believe it was a Signature Edition of the spectrum x 360 and there was apparently no bloatware, although I don't know if this affects startup time.

    @bigals55ajr

    Thank you for the update,

    As you mentioned on the various changes that you have made,
    I was wondering if the problem is now solved, and if there is anything else I can help you.

    Keep me posted,

  • 13D - 4000 x 360 spectrum: spectrum HP x 360 will not load or start

    Last week my spectrum of x 360 battery is discharged and it prompted me to plug into the charge. I plugged in and the laptop was not charging. I tested the plug and inspected the charger/port to see if there is damage.  Everything is in perfect condition, or the cell phone or the charger have been abandoned or damaged. Called HP support and the laptop is out of warranty a month... Ordered another charger and the laptop still doesn't load.  The LED next to the switch used to blink 3 times and the laptop would not boot. Now, the light flashes at all. X 360 support messages reading it looks like others have had the same question and he had a failed motherboard. This is a problem is there anything else I can do? Very disappointed in this whole situation, given that I spent on the laptop and the timing of this question.

    I brought your question to the attention of a team within HP. They are likely to ask for information from you to get your information or product serial number. Please search for a private message from a contact HP identified. Also, remember not to publicly post information and series numbers.

  • Removable HP X 2 spectrum: Spectrum X 2 lights as it should

    Just recently, whenever I try to turn on my spectrum HP X 2 detachable off, she, she turns. The F6 Mute button has the light, on which seems to indicate that the device can be on, but the screen is not.

    To turn the unit on, I stuck the power button until the silent witness of F6 turns off, as if he was arrested and then press the power button to restart the unit upwards.

    Someone at - it an idea what could cause this problem or how I could continue on set?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @IHaveQuestions,

    Thanks for reaching out! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that your computer does not turn on the F6 button is turned on and you must hold down the power button for a few seconds until the mute turns off and press the switch again for her to run again. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    You did a great job of troubleshooting before you post your question in the forums of HP. Kudos to you for this. Great job! You're an HP customer, and we greatly appreciate you for doing business with HP. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you.

    First of all, it looks like a hardware problem with the device. Some circuits inside that may still be causing the key (Mute) F6 to continue to stay on, even when the machine is supposed to be stopped.

    Let's first try a hard reset: link to: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768

    • First of all switch off the unit and unplug the charger.
    • Hold down the power and buttons to Mute (on the right side of the Palm) for 8 to 10 seconds.
    • Then turn on the unit to check if the situation is corrected. If it persists, remove the keyboard from the computer after the power off again.
    • Switch on the device to verify if the situation has been corrected.
    • If it continues, please detach the keyboard with the power on and power off the unit. Wait a few seconds and it can save and reattach the keyboard and check.
    • Finally, if all else fails, let the battery drain is completely down and then repeat steps.
    • If it continues then the computer may need to be repaired because it may be a hardware problem with the device.

    I hope this helps. I would like to know how this happens. I really hope that the problem is solved without hassle and the unit works very well. Believe me, I've done everything I can to help by keeping your interests in mind. Please reach out for questions and I'll be there for you help.

  • X 360 spectrum: spectrum HP x 360 under linux

    Hi, I bought a new HP spectrum x 360,

    For my work, I have to run the simulation trought OpenFOAM is easyer for me to use Linux.  Almost everything works out of the box, except one... sound thing.  I post a bug on launchpad, here the link:

    Spectrum of bug Hp x 360

    Like almost everything that you want to debug the phenomena. I know that you have not officially support linux on this computer, but it would be fun to be at least compatible linux.

    Thing I know:

    There was a bug that really resemble this one on the Dell XPS 13. The bug was in the bios that was setting his alternative map that did not work. In my opinion, is the same thing here. I need to find a way to tell the bios to load everything as if it's windows 8.1 (Yes, I just don't ask for any special treatment.)

    Thank you

    I'll give you all the support you need. I really want to fix this bug.

    PS: (HP if you correct this bug you will sell more than three of these computers, they all want one in the lab!)

    Follow-up:

    It looks that we now are hable to use mode strives of the sound card. It is good, but not perfect. The fix for the i2c will come soon, last kernel code ask a file mysterious drivers that does not currently exist in the directories of the linux firmware. Therefore, this case is closed because the only such issue. Follow the improvement furter launchpad bug.

    * THE SOLUTION CAN NOT BE THE SAME FOR YOUR DISTRIBUTION *.

    Of Spano:

    If you use gummiboot , you should have something like this:

    options acpi_osi ="! Windows 2013 ' acpi_osi ='! Windows 2012 "acpi_backlight = vendor root = / dev/sda2 rw

    The solution to the title of this post is for Debian-based distro. I'll put the solution for the other activities of distribution on this post, if they are on the forum. (You can't find it? Adjust the solution to adapt to your distribution and post-its, you make people happy )

    I SOLVED IT!

    After hours of pain, I can now use the integrated sound card with headphones, as well as the internal speakers.

    How to:

    Change grub config by:

    'sudo vim/etc/default/grub.

    Change the line:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash".

    TO:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash acpi_backlight = vendor = acpi_osi'!" Windows 2013 'acpi_osi ='! Windows 2012' "

    Then run:

    'sudo update-grub ".

    Restart twice.

    BOOM! The sound works in the headphones. The sound card is now in mode HDA (not I2S).

    To confirm, run:

    "aplay-l" and make sure that you have the following in the output:

    "map 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: analog ALC3242 [analog ALC3242].
    Subdevices: 0/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 '

    I use the Linux kernel spectrum 3.19.0 - 21-generic #21 - Ubixuntu SMP on Ubuntu x 64.

    ARO

    Ingmar

    EDIT: Even the speakers work, they have just muted in Alsamixer. Hallelulja!

    Edit2: Added the 'acpi_backlight = vendor' for parameter input on the options line, based on @spano. Thank you!

    Edit3: Difficulty as pointed out by venividivici24
