dv4-2045dx re-ball of soldering and new GPU. Worth it?

While we all know the story, older laptops tend to GPU frying. I did enough research now to know the following:

I can buy a card mother reburbished and place shims between the GPU and the radiator, add some thermal paste and I hope the thing works for a few months.

I can have someone weld in a new GPU (2010) and fix the problem for good.

Is this useful? I bought a new card on eBay, but it does not solve the problem. Finished cooking my motherboard and it worked for about six months until what the hard drive went bad, and now the GPU has gone wrong again. I'm tired of opening up this computer and not fixing the problem. I'd just like to operate and sell so I can buy a new tablet. I don't really need this computer, but if I can get it fixed for good, it's not worth?

Thoughts?

I'm not real comfortable with the idea of setting temporarily and selling it. In my opinion honest, it provided the best service as possible, his best days are behind it, and there is no sense that delay the inevitable.

  • Purchase a new battery for hp dv4-2045dx

    Hello

    I have a computer notebook hp pavilion dv4-2045dx. Unfortunately, the battery has stopped working, and so I want to buy a new hp original battery.

    The battery is called "REPLACEMENT-LB73" and it works on 10.8V and 55wh. I not found yet any battery that fits the above characteristics and I'm afraid to buy the wrong type of battery. In particular, the batteries with 52wh or 48wh back my computer? (I ask this because I have not found a LB73 REPLACEMENT battery for hp pavilion dv4 with 55wh)

    Thanks for your help

    There is no obligation nor a necessity to buy a HP OEM battery for your laptop.  If you buy a HP randed battery it will cost you much more than a battery that is not HP brand. There is no difference in quality as long as buy you one with a one year warranty.

    Just do a Google search for hp pavilion dv4-2045dx battery online and buy guaranteed compatible battery.

    You will be able to find batteries with a very broad range of capabilities mAH. I bought a Chinese battery for Toshiba laptop of my daughter from a seller online four years ago. It still works perfectly. I'd rather pay 25.00 - 40, $00 for a compatible battery which will last three years to $100.00 for a battery that will last so long.

  • Screen & player stalls voids on Pavilion dv4-2045dx

    Having formerly operating Pavilion dv4-2045dx a friend.  When turned on, no screen activity is displayed.  Hard diving turns upward, but not for very long, so it doesn't seem as if Windows is actually behind the empty screen loading.  I tried to connect a monitor to the display port, but nothing appears on the external monitor or integrated display.  The command has been removed and the data seems to be intact.

    I guess the screen is dead and with it the computer.  Any suggestions before I tell him, is it time for a new laptop?

    Physically, you need to open the case and look at the type of processor before ordering a new. I'm not sure of the dv4 on top of my head, but some use laptops that are welded on the processors and you should replace the whole Board. In addition, with processors, you might be able to get more life out of it by scraping of old thermal compound on the CPU and the heat sink and thermal paste new application.

    Operating system: Windows 7 32 bit

    The product name and number of HP Pavilion dv2-2045dx

    First of all, a note on my computer: I recentley reformatted it.

    My problem:

    My laptop Pavilion dv4 2045dx cannot play Diablo 3. I've waited nine years for this game to come out. Buying a new computer to play D3 is not economically feasible.

    So my question is, should I upgrade graphics card in my computer? If so, can I buy the graphics card and pay a professional to install it? I never tried to upgrade a laptop before.

    Here are some notes more:

    DIABLO 3 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

    NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800 GT or ATI Radeon™ X 1950 Pro or better

  • Cannot install driver for hp pavilion dv4-2045dx cd player

    Computer: HP Pavilion dv4 2045dx using Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I currently have problems with my computer's CD drive.  He has been unable to read discs of any kind of music, DVDS and software programs for several months now.  The main problem seems to be with an inability to properly install the driver for the cd drive.

    When running "find and solve the problems" of section "Troubleshooting" in the Control Panel, I get an error message that says that there is a problem with the driver for the cd drive.  Whenever I try to install the driver, he is not able to do so and contact the manufacturer of your computer.  I also tried to download all the updates and I get essentially the same message.

    Also, here's all that I've done so far.  I followed all these steps, but the last two listed in the help or support of the site.  Here is the link I used:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01897812

    I couldn't do a restore of the system in step 7, because the last date that I could find to a restore point has been today (or yesterday).  In addition, I couldn't do step 8.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx recovery disk download

    I need help, recover my computer to original factory State.  Wiped my hard drive and I have no recovery disk.  Anyone know where to download it or order of?  It is not more downloadable from HP.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello:

    Microsoft does not allow download of OEM operating systems.

    This is why PC makers must provide physical support for the recovery of the operating system.

    You can download Windows 7 If you have a retail version product key and the key on your laptop is an OEM product key.

    As underlined Hüffer, HP sells more recovery media for your model.

    However, you can still get a game from this provider no HP on the link below.

  • 8 GB of RAM for DV4-2045DX memory: 8 GB RAM Chip Notch does not fit HP Pavilion DV4 - 2045DX Entertainment Notebook

    Sir/Madam,

    Hello. My laptop is HP Pavilion DV4-2045DX Entertainment Notebook with 4 GB of memory which is 2 coins in 2 locations inside the machine.

    Because 4 GB of RAM is not enough to run my system now, I need to upgrade the memory of 8 GB that is 2 chips with 4GB RAM each in 2 slots.

    I bought RAM 8 GB chips online ordering
    http://www.seifelden.com/8gb-2x4GB-memory-RAM-for-HP-Pavilion-dv4-2045dx-laptop-memory.html?fee=39&f... .

    Item number: SoDimm_DDR3_2X4GB_B3377

    After I pulled out the existing RAM chips, I tried to put the new RAM 8 GB chips in 2 slots, but it does not fit the slot. The detail is that the size of the entire chip is shaped, but the notch on the long side of the upper part does not fit the clip into the machine.

    I tried to move clip to match the notch in the RAM chip, but the clip cannot be moved. I guess that there is a mechanism to adjust the clip to match the notch in the RAM chip, but I don't know how to do it.

    My question is:
    Could you please check why the 8 GB RAM chips do not have HP Pavilion DV4 - 2045DX Entertainment Notebook?

    How to adjust the clip to match the notch in the RAM 8 GB chip?

    Thanks in advance.

    It of still expensive but a little more like it:

    There are several options on Amazon.com. Just look for DDR2 SO-DIMM.

  • Dv4-2045DX software Deleted

    Dv4-2045DX has been in the garage because he had flashing lights of SCROLL CAPS as many post I've read here, I have fixed my now excellent work there.

    My grandson removed CYBERLINK DVD and POWER2GO and another, because he thought that it was a pirated software that I would like to reinstall the software but cannot be found on the support page Hp, found update, but not sure that it would have the software with the update. If anyone knows if I could download the cyberlink DvD suite of Hp or am I out of luck, I thought also that perhaps reinstall the whole system, but I just spent 3 days of updating Win 7 64 and I prefer not to do that. HP has maybe drive I could order it,

    I was happy, sometimes I do a search for the M/B for this and found a simple way to fix it and it's great to be working again. I still have the Photo software and webcam working fine

    Hello:

    You will need to perform a system recovery to get this software. It is not available for download and I do not think that HP sends separately the installation media.

    If you used the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (or the recovery partition), you should be able to reinstall the applications that have been uninstalled by going to the SWSetup folder on drive C:\ and has all the program installation files that are located in these folders.

    You'll just have to hunt around for them to find the applications to install.

    If you have not used discs of recovery media to install W7 or, you can try these downloads...

  • HP dv4-2045dx does not start...

    Hello. I'll have them with my laptop.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx that contains:

    AMD Turion II Dual-Core Mobile M500 (2200 MHz)

    4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM (2 Dimm) memory

    Seagate 320 HDD (7200 RPM)

    ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4200 graphics card

    OS: Windows 7

    As I said in my header object, my laptop is unable to start. He blinks at the HP screen and then takes me to a black screen telling me that there is no boot device. OLEDS (caps and Num lock) Flash 4 times throughout the process. When I try to restore my system with my recovery disks, it loads up for Win7 but fails to reinstall/recover by ending the restore process and gives the error message:

    "The instruction at 0x8000d030 referenced memory at 0x012ac60. The memory could not be read.

    I don't know if this is useful, but when I run the diagnostic system test in the HP Start menu, I have a couple of error logs that are:

    03F0

    80%

    Also when I run a hard drive Test, it does not detect the hard drive.

    All this happens when I was a video on Adobe first/After Effects and flash game on a web site. The system is just frozen and didn't answer. I did a hard reset and that's when I got hurt at start up to Windows 7.

    Rayman,

    You tried the good things so far.  Errors are pointing to hard drive failure.  You can try to remove/reset or replace the hard drive.  If a known good hard drive is still not detected, then you can have more serious problems.

  • iTunes does not support Windows 10 modern watches over tablets and newer laptops

    Hello.

    Since Windows 8, there is a new mode called available standby connected standby (Windows 8), InstantGo (Windows 8.1) or modern (Windows 10) from the previous day.

    Tablets with Windows and newer laptops use modern sleep every time instead of old standby mode when firstly, it turns off the screen and after a while CPU turnes off (S3 mode AFAIK).

    Computer works now similar to a phone in a Pocket, you can listen to music or get a call (Skype).

    Here is the description for developers on Miscrosoft MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt282515.aspx

    Developers need to make their applications compatible with a modern Eve, otherwise application does not work while the unit is in standby modern.

    There is a Microsoft Groove app installed music on my book of Surface with 10 Windows, he can play DRM iTunes media, and continues to play when the screen turns off.

    12.4.1.6 iTunes seems to be incompatible legacy applications because it stops to play my music if I let laptop intact for 5 minutes.

    I tried to explain this to a phone Apple support, but they told me that this isn't a problem with iTunes but Windows and I need to get in touch with Microsoft instead of Apple.

    I can't use my subscription Apple same music in music Groove as a solution because it is unable to read the DRM from iTunes m4p files, of course it can not directly access cloud Apple music too.

    Is it possible to transmit this information to Apple?

    I don't understand why Apple let iTunes must be installed on Windows 8 + because actually it works terrible.

    For example, it can not switch audio speakers headphones and vice versa (while other applications that correctly), there are also some problems of video output, sometimes also the iTunes window receive a second bar tiny minimize / closing maximise controls, also the search field sometimes loose the keyboard input.

    Developers need to make their applications compatible with a modern Eve, otherwise application does not work while the unit is in standby modern...

    I tried to explain this to a phone Apple support, but they told me that this isn't a problem with iTunes but Windows and I need to get in touch with Microsoft instead of Apple...

    Is it possible to transmit this information to Apple?

    Oleg,

    Support staff does not normally deal in development issues, so it is quite likely that simply, they did not understand the question.  To report it directly to Apple, use the comments link:

    http://www.Apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    When you send feedback, try to be as clear and objective as possible.

    iTunes has a huge population of Windows users, so I don't know that apple is interested.
