Compatibility memory dv7-3165dx

I want to improve my memory from 4 GB to 8GB maximally... My question is the Ram DDR3 works on my laptop... I have conflicting reports both Yes and no.

Hello

I believe you have DDR2 Ram in your laptop, but you can check it out by downloading and running the utility on the link below.

If this utility verifies that you have DDR2 Ram installed, then you can not install DDR3 - it will not physically.

Kind regards

  • Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low

    Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low. Even at 17%.

    This gets really annoying, that I keep losing jobs! Before it used to give me a warning and then Hibernate. Now there is no warning and it turns off without saving anything.

    Help!

    The laptop is a year old.

    I already ran the diagonsitic battery and it said the battery was good.

    OK, I think I finally figured it by changing power options, and I think that the way you reset the battery also helped.

    Here are the parameters:

    reserve battery level (this is when the popup will appear).

    10%

    low battery (this is when the low battery action will be performed).

    8%

    critical battery level (my computer would die at this point.)

  • HP dv7-3165dx

    I need to replace my dc jack & wiring harness, can someone give exact link to purchase one? I bought one on ebay & it was displayed as the CC for my laptop and when I got it was the harness badly, so I would like to know where I can buy the right part for my hp dv7-3165dx Entertainment Notebook? I also want to add that my Studio has 6 sons. The one I bought was only 4. Please help as soon as Possible.   Thank you

    This one seems to be what you need. I do not guarantee that it is the right part. If you choose to do the repair yourself, then you accept the risk that what you order is exactly what you need. I say this because I am a small business owner and have also had this experience. Search for the part number on the power supply/harness plug which is OEM for your laptop. Use the part number HP as standard when you contact potential suppliers. If the part number is not then don't buy the issue.

  • 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 dv7-3165dx

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx that no longer starts.  The screen gives me a SMART hard disk error saying: "SMART hard drive control has detected an imminent failure.  To ensure no data loss, please save the content immediately and run the system diagnostics hard drive Test", what should I do?  Help, I relly need information on my computer.

    Hello

    Given the error at startup, it would look like the HARD drive is a failure that would be consistent with the inability to repair or reload the operating system.

    First, data on the disk, if it is vital to get it back, your best option would be to seek the services of a company that specializes in data retreival, but this can be quite expensive.

    Another couple of options, you can try is the following, however it is important to note that the odds of retreival depend on the State of the HARD drive.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

    External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

    ***************************************************************************

    Replace the HARD drive, with respect to the readers on the links below are example that would be perfect for your laptop.

    500 GB hard drive for laptop

    750 GB hard drive for laptop.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  • Pavilion dv7-3165dx display does not

    I have a Pavilion dv7-3165dx and the video has stopped working.  The system starts fine and seems to work normally except no video output is available (backlight doesn't work, just no display).  Leading to this there was quite severe artifacts on the screen before he died (black screen, no output).  I tried to plug in an external monitor and no signal is him either.  When I plug the external monitor backlight is turned off then back on as it normally would when you attach an external monitor, but I get no output on a device (laptop LCD or an external monitor).  I was just wondering if missed me something obvious, but it seems to me that the video card has gone wrong.  I suppose that if it was the LCD or the video cable I'd still get out on the external monitor.  I didn't replace the MB until I didn't know he is there lot of thing.  Thank you.

    If you could see output on an external device it would mean than the laptop video solution (chip, processor or discreet card) is functioning normally.  Have you also tried the HDMI output?

    Replacing the motherboard will be the only way to solve the problem that there is no discrete graphics module in your laptop.

    Hello

    It is always interesting to try a Hard Reset as follows.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

  • Satellite A100 - 386 compatibility memory PSAA9

    Hi all!

    I want to add some memory to my laptop and try a couple that works, but I get a few bugs because this seems to be related to the fact that I put pc5300 memory rather than pc4200 memory... The strange thing is that it works very well and only bugs when reading music and flash movies!

    No one knows with certainty what type of memory can use... What is the most important actxually, him CAPAS (533) or the pc4200... How do I know what memory I can buy and keep in mind that it will work, even if I throw the real one if there are compatibility problems?

    Thanks a lot for the tips!

    You can delete this post, I was going the wrong way... Sorry...

  • Pavilion dv7 - 1247cl: upgrade memory dv7 - 1247cl

    It is my understanding that my Pavilion dv7 - 1247cl can support up to 8 GB memory max.  The laptop will support a 8gig stick, or should it be 2 4 gig sticks?  In addition, if it supports a key of 8 GB, the memory would work faster compared to the two port?

    It's DDR2-800 SO-DIMM memory. I don't think they ever done 8 sticks of concert of this type of memory and if they did, it would be very expensive. The best price I could find on the last person who asked about the DDR2-800 memory for a kit of 2 x 4 GB (8 GB total) exceeded $150:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Komputerbay-PC2-6400-DDR2-800-SODIMM-channel/DP/B003D18Q7W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&QID=1419373144&SR=8-6&keywords=DDR2-800+so-DIMM

    2 identical modules will run in mode dual channel which is about 8 to 10% of the memory faster performance.  So 2 x 4 is faster that 1 x 8 would be, if there was even such a thing as a module of 8 GB, I think not there.

    I don't think that the difference between 4 and 8 GB is going to be worth $ 155, personally.

  • upgrade memory dv7

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory on a dv7, currently of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB).  Can I use 1 - 4 GB & 1-2 GB for a total of 6 GB or memory sticks must be the same size?

    Hello:

    Maintenance manual is in contradiction with some of the dv7 features I saw in the pages of model where it says maximum RAM is 8 GB.  I think that the info in the service manual can be updated.

    If Max RAM 8 GB is in fact correct, you can install a 4 GB + 2 GB, but it will work a little better if you install a 4 + 4, then he runs in DDR mode. You will get no error of memory or anything at startup, if that's your concern by installing a 4 + 2.

    I look at the service manual for your notebook from the series, and it indicates the maximum RAM is 2 x 2 GB (4 GB). See page 3.
