Catastrophic customer service, Pavilion dv7 laptop STILL not repaired, shuts down randomly

I've had a Pavilion dv7-6c95dx for over 6 months now and 1 week after I bought it, the laptop began to stop randomly. Firstly that it happened sometimes, usually once a week. When this problem occurred, I had to open the Task Manager, as well as SpeedFan and Manager tasks showed that everything worked well minus 50% of their capacity and SpeedFan has indicated that all systems (HARD drive, processor, motherboard) were running at 50 degrees Celsius (when I talked with a representative from HP on the phone, they told me that their products are supposed to operate at the maximum temperature is 90 degrees Celsius). I assumed it was a small issue, and, after a few months, to see if Windows 7 because of the problem, I installed Ubuntu (Linux). The same problem. I then reinstalled Windows 7, Ubuntu and even threw in a copy of Windows 8 for good measure and the same problem kept happening, but now it would be up to 4 TIMES a DAY. It would be closed (meaning that just go to a black screen, with the familiar sound of hard-stop which makes the fan) usually when I'm either: play a video game, who does not use a lot of RAM or CPU at all and is not graphic, or watch a YouTube video, usually HD and full screen. I'd hear the fan starts pumping a little (I knew it could get loud if necessary, but it's never told fort) and usually after a minute or two, he would have hard stop and then restart itself. So after 3 months of daily irritations, I decided to take my laptop to Geek Squad in the best buy, the store where I bought the unit. Geek Squad was no help: I sent the unit in 4 TIMES and first they said that the problem was "A defective HDD," they replaced, without success, and the other 3 times, they could not reproduce the problem, so that was the MONTH wholly wasted and worn out waiting for my computer back. I then asked to call HP, in the store, because when I called HP, I was not able to get a straight answer and HP, after AN HOUR of talking on the phone in the store, with a Geek Squad Manager, has reluctantly agreed to send me a box to pack up my computer and send it to HP service center. I received a call from HP after the computer and surprise, surprise, they could not reproduce the problem either! I asked about a policy of lemon no., and they said they didn't know what to do to that, of course, continue to send the laptop. When I got my laptop, I also got an email from HP asking me to rate my experience, and after I gave them the low ratings consistenly, so only I was able to speak to a case under the name of Kevin E Manager. He told me that I have to send the laptop in for "more extensive testing" (I'm not sure what this means, should not run them not testing the most extensive possible THE FIRST TIME AROUND)?) and when I asked about the policy of lemon no., he said after I send it, they will look at "other options." This time, the heat sink has been replaced, because for some reason, the laptop was running at 90 degrees Celsius, (which never happened in all my time to possess, to the best of my knowledge) but, of course, they were unable to reproduce the original problem. When I got my laptop, there was still the problem. When I called HP back, Kevin told me that at this point, they may send a representative to my home. 15 minutes before the arrival of the local representative, the closed laptop. I was relieved, because I thought it meant that I could reproduce the problem and show him. However, after waiting for an hour, with more applications running that generally required to shut down the computer, he WORKS PERFECTLY. As a matter of fact, the representative took the home unit for 3 days, and it worked perfectly. When she returned, of course, could do nothing about it. This device has been repaired 7 times now, and it is a shame. Kevin called me today ' today - in fact, it was after 1 week of waiting for a response from "24 to 48 hours." Moreover, off the 8 times that Kevin has promised to follow with me, it was only once I received a call during the response time promised 24-48 hours-another 7 times, it's me calling to him.

Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed by the products and the HP customer service and would certainly not bought this device from them if I had known that I have would have been treated this way.

This is my first time here on this forum and I have a serious problem with my PC.

There are many things that can generate people. For example, if you push and hold the power button, the system broke down, or if the battery is dead. They are not essential and should only be worrying if there are problems that are associated.

Try the following.

One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.

A defective processor can be repaired by a local PC store, but I highly recommend you contact the HP support by phone to see what options are available. HP repair center would be able to identify the appropriate components that will need to be replaced in the rare case that the test gave flashing evil code.

HP Pavilion dv7-1240us: Pavilion dv7-1240us | Does not - battery LED flashes constantly

Greetings! I bought a laptop HP Pavilion DV7-1240US. When the battery is connected to the laptop and the power adapter is plugged in, the battery light flashes continuously in intervals of 1 second. When I take the battery, the laptop power not on at all.

I did a hard reset of the laptop, I checked the ram slot connections, deleted and reinstalled the hard drive and still can not get the system to work.

When the battery is connected to the laptop, if I press the power button, while the battery LED is lit, the system will try momentarily in power all keys quick adjustment on the Strip at the top momentarily illuminate, and he tries to switch to the top, only to die as soon as the led turns off.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause of this? I would like to point out that the caps lock and caps lock Num-buttons Flash at all, and there is no beep sounds to speak, so I am at a loss.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!

Pavilion dv7 - 1023cl does not connect to 1 Gbps but other devices will be

According to the specifications of my laptop Pavilion dv7 - 1023 cl, it has a gigabit ethernet port, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get it to connect to my network at that speed. Instead, it connects to 100 Mbps / other laptops, including a model dv7 later have no problems connecting to 1 Gbps.

I took it completely and then reinstalled the ethernet driver realtek from the hp support web site, but it still connects only to 100 Mbps.

Anyone has an idea why this does not work and what I can do about it?

Thank you.

According to the specifications for the DV7 - 1023 cl, page the ehternet port only supports 10 / 100 Mbit/s and this would explain why the 1 Gbps is not negotiated.

Where did you see that it supports 10/100/1000?

HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx - do not pick up the Samsung 840 Evo SSD for clean installation

Hello

Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx

I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.

Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.

What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.

Thank you

Mike

Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.

Thank you

HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx: could not find bluetooth to turn it on.

I can not locate where or how to activate bluetooth for my laptop. I was told when I got the laptop that she did not have compatible Bluetooth. Little help would be greatly appreciated.

The specifications I've seen on your laptop does not show it as a model with bluetooth. It has wifi and widi, but no Bluetooth.

Hi @laci2013 ,

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook and issues with the USB ports on 10 newly installed Windows. Here is a link to solve the USB connections.

I would like to uninstall all listed in the universal serial bus controllers list.

Please note remove any and all USB devices and remove the memory card in the slot of the card reader. Disconnect all non-essential devices before you uninstall the controller Universal serial bus.

Restart your computer, and then insert the USB device.

You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10. Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

I was unable to find guaranteed compatible expansion modules appear to be available to Kingston or Corsair.

Guaranteed compatible using modules in a major memory manufacturer upgrade is the way to go if you want no surprises when you plug new modules. Do not add the new memory module that is already there. Remove the original memory unless you can locate a module that is identical in every respect to be placed in the empty soDIMM slot. You don't have to try to match the specifications of the module of the computer laptop memory published unless you like surprises.
