• RE: Pavilion DV7-7030us

  Hello

  I recently bought this HP preconfigured. Have a very nice samsung SSD that I intend to use as your startup disk. I noticed that the manual shows the model I bought supports WSSD 32 GB disk cache, simply not included. If I had to use the second location on disk for the original 5400 RPM (with purchase of additional drive mounting kit), or choose any other drive to store the MSSD adjustable cache only works for the second disc of HD? With the primary drive is a Samsung 830, there is not need a slower cache. Experts out there I would like to know, Office PC tech, but read very little on the WSSD cache system.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion dv7-7030us Entertainment laptop and HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. According to the service guide.

  Hard drive:

  6.35 - cm (2.5 in) supports hard drives of 12.7 mm (. 50-in), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in) (all hard drives use the same medium)

  Customer-accessible

  Serial ATA

  Protection accelerometer support

  Supports the following drives:

  1 TB 5400 RPM, 12.7 mm

  750 GB, 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm

  640 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm

  500 GB, 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm

  320 GB, 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm

  SSD drives:

  Supports the 160 GB drive

  Supports drive 32 GB mSATA

  The above guide information for a range of HP computers and a list of factory options supported available in various models dv7. This list is only that HP installs in the computer, not what the computer can actually support.

  You say "...". the model I bought supports the WSSD 32 GB disk cache... "What you're talking about? There is NO cache WSSD to... it refers to the 32 GB mSATA drive, like any other SSD. Simply install your Samsung in the main Bay and move the original drive to the secondary drive Bay. You may / will have problems with the help of HP with the SSD recovery disks. Your best bet is for the original of a fresh State of the factory image drive and restore the image on the SSD.

  Good luck

• HP Pavilion dv7-6103ei AHCI/RAID?

  Hi all

  Greetings from a poster first.

  I have a Pavilion DV7-6103ei laptop, and it has been modernized with a Samsung PM810/series-470 128 GB SSD with a 1 TB of HARD drive in the second span.

  I'm not necessarily interested in a RAID configuration, but I prefer the disks to run in AHCI mode.  However, I see that the BIOS does not support changing the interface of AHCI.

  I did some research and it seems that these laptops do not support AHCI.  Is this correct?  I'm not able to find information on the RAID, which allows to AHCI when there is no current RAID configuration.

  I have intel that Rapid Storage Technology installed.

  Is my only option to run these HDDs in IDE mode?  Seems a bit primitive for a laptop as powerful.

  If anyone can advise me on a work around or so to be able to operate in AHCI mode, let me know.

  Thank you.

  Greg

  You are the very welcome, Greg.

  Your BIOS of laptop computers is indeed set to AHCI and unfortunately, I do not know why the HARD drive is labeled as a scsi device.

  I guess that's just the Windows name assigned to the drive.  I've seen this before on other PCs.

  You can install the latest driver from Intel's Intel RST and to see if it makes a difference what anyone.

  3rd file listed.  Was also the AHCI drivers too.

• How can I check if the AHCI is enabled on my Pavilion dv7 1199ed?

  Hi all

  I recently bought a new SSD (Samsung 830 128 GB) to replace one of the two HARD drives containing faulty sectors. To use the TRIM, I need the SATA controller that AHCI enabled. How I check that? BIOS is unfortunately limited.

  If AHCI is not enabled, how can I activate it?

  Some data: Pavilion dv7 1199ed (I have no product number, because I'm sending you this issue of my work (don't tell my boss), my laptop is at home), using triple boot Vista, Ubuntu 12.04 (both on the HARD drive) and Debian Wheezy (freshly installed on the SSD).

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Even if the option is not available in the bios, AHCI is enabled by default.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4190us drivers for Beats Audio and MediaSmart Webcam

  Nice day. I bought a Pavilion dv7-4190us last December 2010. I loved its audio quality. However, I recently formatted the OS due to some MBR problems. I managed to get most of the software I need to save for Beats Audio and MediaSmart Webcam.

  For Beats Audio, I find not everything on the page for the driver for my laptop model. For MediaSmart webcam, I downloaded and installed sp51029 but nothing happened. Someone knows what's the problem?

  Hello

  Try the following to see if you can install HP MediaSmart Webcam.

  First, download the MediaSmart Webcam Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51001-51500/sp51029.exe

  Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.

  Now, open your download folder, click with the right button on the HP MediaSmart Webcam Installer, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, open src and scroll down until you see the application setup ( 12th from the bottom with a size of 310 KB ).  This Application Configuration right click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once installation is complete, restart the computer and see if the Wecam software has been installed successfully.

• Pavilion dv7-4190us: dv7-4190us works Windows 10 ethernet and wifi Broadcom 4313GM does not

  Installed Windows 10 on Pavilion dv7-4190us.  Now, the Ethernet card provides Internet access and Broadcom 4313GN Date 27/05/2013 Version 6.30.223.99 will not access Internet via wifi. (It worked with Windows 8.1.) I did find a suggestion from HP. I'm looking for a suggestion to the user on how to get the Broadcom 4313GN for wifi on Windows 10 operation.

  Angrist response to my issue shows a pilot Boardcom 5... level. I decided to lower my driver PC Boardcom 6... level 5... level. HP provides the dv7-4190us, a wifi Boardcom to the 5.60.350.11 network driver level. This network driver is provided to the customer support HP - software and Driver Downloads to the file the name sp49541.exe for the dv7-4190us.

• HP pavilion dv7 1260us: upgrade memory and processor for hp pavilion dv7 1260us

  I was wondering if possible to upgrade my memory and processor... hp pavilion dv7 1260us?

  Here are the specs:

  Plug

  You have an AMD Turion RM-74 processor and 4 GB of RAM. The RAM is DDR2 and it may take 8 GB of DDR2, but that the memory of any reputable vendor is crazy expensive, like $150 ++ for 2 x 4 gig modules.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  The top of the page compatible processor is an AMD Turion™ Ultra Dual-Core 35W ZM-86 2.40 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache

  If you want to go from 2.2 ghz to 1 meg to 2.4 ghz with 2 MB of L2 cache L2 cache, may be a treatment of 20% energy improvement. Not enough, IMO, to justify the difficulty because it is still not in the ballpark of machines of today.

  You can buy the processor from a dealer renowned for $15 with free shipping. That should tell you what the demand is for her. Basically obsolete.

  Your English is very good.  The smile.  Unfortunately, it's the only language I speak, so we are limited.  Can I use Google Translate if you want / need to send information in your own language at home.

  Problem webcam and HP SimplePass troubled can be tricky - when they don't work, it may be easy to fix - or terrible and difficult to understand.  I hope I can help.

  ===============================================================

  The camera can be other problems.

  The Support of your laptop troubleshooting Web site section:

  HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx laptop / troubleshooting

  Help for Webcam / camera:

  Article > Webcam / camera

  Look at this document for help and suggestions:

  Laptop HP, Touch and PC AiO - Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

  What happens if nothing helps?

  It is possible that the tiny wires in the camera are broken.  If nothing is done to fix the camera, you may need to consider that the wires that connect the camera to the computer are loose or disconnected (broken).  If that's true, in other words, if the wires are broken or disconnected, the webcam / camera will not work.  This isn't good news, but this is not cheap having fixed.  You can take the computer to a local computer repair center, the confidence of having this kind of work.  HP can also do this repair.  If you have the skills, you can do the repairs yourself.

  ===========================================================

  HP SimplePass

  Reboot = redΘmarrer

  HP SimplePass is sensitive to "other software" on the computer.  Everything must be "up-to-date" and ready to go.

  For example, you want to have your update of the .NET Framework, you want to have your updates from Windows Update (in the last month or almost) and you want to make sure that you do not have a shortage of pilots.

  For example:

  Page driver your computer laptop Support site:

  Category: Software - security > HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection

  sp57232.exe

  Category: Software - Solutions > HP framework

  sp56878.exe

  The short answer:

  Preparation

  • Stop all programs: browsers, games, Applications, etc.

  Control Panel > display icon > System > System Protection >

  Select (highlight) your main drive (C)

  Click on Create a Restore Point

  Installation of the driver and HP SimplePass

  • Download the Driver of sensor of validity on your computer:

  sp56403 validity sensor Driver W7 - 64 bit V4.3.301.0

  • The pilot will probably download in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the driver of sensor of validity by 'double click' on the name of the file
  • Restart the computer and log in

  Next

  • Download the version of HP SimplePass program 5.4.0.402 on your computer:

  sp58600.exe

  • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
  • Restart the computer and log in

  See if you can get HP SimplePass program to start

  ===============================================================

  HP SimplePass Version 5.4.0.402 is an older version of the program SimplePass.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work for everyone.

  There is a newer version of the HP SimplePass program drawn up by the same company (AuthenTec) that might work.

  If you want to try it, follow these steps:

  • Download this program:

  sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

  • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

  Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

  I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

  Now, I have:

  -8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

  -1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

  -stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

  -CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

  -BIOS F.29

  2 problems:

  -Slow CPU

  -Slow HARD drive

  I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

  Get an increase in the performance of the system?

  On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

  Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

  is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

  And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

  But the laptop manual says:

  720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

  The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

  or not?

  I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

  And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

  How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

  Help me please.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

  Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

  If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

  A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

  If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

  Have a great day!

• Pavilion DV7-3165DX, Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter, communication and incompatibility issues

  After much research, I decided to buy a Pavilion DV7-3065DX. Then, I walked to my local Best Buy to say the 3065DX had been abandoned and was no longer available for purchase. However, the 3165DX, his successor had arrived and was very similar to the previous generation. After a brief discussion to justify the increase of prices with myself, I gave and was sold.

  Within hours, I was in College, trying to connect to the WiFi network without success. After several hours becoming more and more frustrated, I decided to call it closes unexpectedly. Rushing home after class, I plugged the new Linksys WRT160N, I had also bought wireless router and configured on my desk. Once completed, I tried to connect using the new Pavilion. To my surprise, it worked! (And no problem whatsoever no less). So, apparently, the wireless adapter works, but does so only on some networks.

  A week later, I tried to connect to a number of public and private WiFi networks of different types with limited success. Most importantly, I am able to connect to my home network, but not to the public networks in my college or city libraries. At one point, the Office for my college indicated that my WiFi adapter is one of a handful of cards on the list of incompatible devices to their network. As it was to buy the laptop in the first place, I am extremely frustrated.

  I turned to the support pages of HP for a solution. I considered a update driver despite the use of the HP Wizard to keep abreast on all software downloads and updates. To my dismay, product for the Pavilion DV7-3165DX page lists of Broadcom WiFi adapter, which does not correspond to my hardware (Atheros AR9285). What's worse, is that the manufacturer's website offers no driver downloads to customers that its site is adapted directly to product manufacturers.

  At this point, I'm increased and not sure what to do. I am already attached to this laptop. Apart from the war with his fingerprints on its black and shiny chrome surfaces shiny, the problem with the Atheros WiFi card is the only problem that I had. I hate having to go through the ordeal to return, and I do not think that this problem requires the sending of the product to HP for repair. Furthermore, I believe that if it came down to one of those, I simply return the product and find my way to another product by other manufacturers in total.

  This certainly isn't the experience I had hoped with my first purchase of HP.

  Any suggestions?

  I have the same question... However with me the solution wasn't in the pilot. I spent 3 hours on the phone with technical support, try to understand.

  What it comes down to say that Atheros AR 9285 is a shi * ty wireless card. It supports 802.11n Protocol, but only 2.4 GHz (the same as the b/g frequencies). My Cysco wireless router was broadcasting 5 GHz Wireless-N and AR 9285 was not able to detect it. Once I changed the router settings to allow 2.4 GHz Wireless-N Networking, the Atheros card was able to connect under the Protocol N. However, the maximum speeds of 2.4 GHz card are slower than 5 GHz card.

  I wish they would give an option to choose what wireless card to install in my laptop. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm always done what they me screwed on.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4180: battery and Windows 8.1

  My old HP is now in the shop and I have discussed the improvements with the technician.  Its OS is Wndows 7, 64-bit.   I bought windows 8 Microsoft, but the technician said it was problematic & wait 10.  I am satisfied with Windows 8 (especially since I paid for it), but if it has some glitches, I can wait out 10.  Recommendations?

  Also need a battery for this beautiful laptop, I'm currently. However, HP / shop has listed nothing for my Pavilion dv7-4180 under her for points of sale.
