Dv5z laptop

My son is considering buying this laptop - we are eager to make the move to 64-bit ourselves, do you see any conflict with the configuration? Are there problems common with built-in webcam or fingerprint app?  Comments or suggestions appreciated. There is also an adult on his own, but just ask my opinion.

• Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
• AMD Turion (TM) X 2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-82 (2.2 GHz)
• 4GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) system
Hard drive 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM • hard with Protection for HP ProtectSmart hard drive
• 256 MB graphics ATI Radeon (TM) HD 3450 card
• 15.4 "diagonal WSXGA + high-definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8 X DVD +/-RW with Support Double layer
• Webcam + fingerprint reader
• Wireless N with Bluetooth card
• No TV Tuner w/remote control
• HP Color Matching keyboard
• 6 cell Lithium Ion Battery
• Integrated modem 56 Kbits / s
Laptop HP Dv5z

My only hesitation is with the AMD processor. In my view, it is the extra bit of money to get the Intel Core 2 Duo. I'm working on and repairing portable computers and AMD devices only have more heating and other problems.

  • dv5z-1000 laptop does not start

    Hello

    Hello

    To be honest, I do not think that I unplugged the connection motherboard when you mount the new drive - but I imagine he must.

    The diagrams on Pages 63 and 64 of your Service Guide & would seem to indicate that the cable actually unplug it from the motherboard - the NOTE on Page 62 mentions that the HARD drive purchased through HP also come with this cable.  However, if it seems not difficult to remove, it can be safer to let this end is connected and simply connect the other end directly to the new drive.

    I note there is no mention of a hard disk of 500 GB not offered as a replacement in your manual, but I guess it will be OK - there are sometimes problems with bios recognizing hard disks are much bigger than the original.  However, assuming that the drive is recognized, there will be no problem with your recovery or the Image of Norton records.

  • Can I order my new laptop with no garbage software?

    When I ordered a DV6500 laptop a few years and it was stuffed with all that extra garbage software.  The laptop went very wrong.  I went out and bought Vista Ultimate, amazed the disk and loaded on my copy of Vista.  It's amazing to see how much better my laptop ran.  I have never had a problem with it as I did.

    Now, I am looking to buy a laptop Hp DV5Z.  With Vista HP always charge on all this garbage software?  If so, how many concerts will they face now?  Any way to order this new laptop with Vista right on this garbage software only?

    A program called PC Decrapifier will get rid of any preinstalled software.

  • HP Pavilion dv5z-1200 will not start, flashing LEDs

    LEDs keep blinking once every 4-5 seconds, computer does not start even in the BIOS.  Out of warranty.  The table shows the CPU is not functional.  After the hard reset several times, after the failure of the CMOS, I reinstalled the memory modules, nothing helps.  I opened the darn thing, reinstall the CPU, cleaned the existing thermal paste and replaced with a high thermal conductivity, one and clean thermal gel pads ugly that supposedly provide a cooling the GPU.  All this for nothing.

    Should I assume by now that the CPU is fried, or is there a chance to distance the BIOS EPROM chip is toast and cause all this?  Someone has experience in this sense, is the flashing model good to locate the faulty component?  All ready to offer their advice Jan 11-12 HP Expert?  I replaced a BIOS chip in an another HP Pavilion of last spring, so it wouldn't be a problem.  Don't want to invest all efforts - and paste - for nothing.

    In any case, this is / was my last HP laptop ever.  Between a ze4547 and this dv5z, I got so of many hardware problems, I prefer to buy netbooks cheap every two years than spend a zillion things expensive, shiny, flashy with abject genius inside.

    Thanks in advance to anyone!

    Taking up this issue and reported a permanent fix (i.e., more than 5 months).  Yet once, the defect could not solder in the graphics chip ATI Radeon (Northbridge).

    Chip HP ships this with a simple gel pad main Board between the radiator and the graphics, which after > 1 year of running hot develops inclusions of air and turns of conductor of heat a heat insulator.  Due to the high temperature resistance, brazing under the chip will slowly oxidize anr / or crystallize and develop cracks and inclusions of oxide.  The only solution in addition to buying a new card of mother is reinvest with a heat gun, or using a special station of redistribution and the improvement of heat transfer to the heatsink.

    Here's what the complete repair consists of:

    -Disassemble the laptop according to the instructions in the maintenance manual; Make sure that keep track of where each screw came from

    -Remove the heat sink fan and clean the end inside of the metal fins (simply by blowing canned air will not work)

    -cut a ~ 1 mm of thickness copper thick to the exact dimensions of the cushion gel covering the ATI Radeon chip and ensure its two surfaces are clear of any oxide

    -Clean the CPU and the Radeon perfectly cooling surfaces using 92% isopropyl alcohol; in a similar way to wipe the corresponding surfaces of the shiny heatsink

    -dissolve welding flow or Rosin in a few mL of 92% + isopropanol

    -pour a few drops of this solution of rosin under the chip Radeon on all 4 sides; Rosin ensures that reinvest the chip will recreate connections free of oxide with the main card; use a pipette or a pair of tweezers for this and not to spill the solution outside the area of interest

    -make a mask cardboard lined with aluminum for the entire main Board having a place of opening in the Center exactly as big as the Radeon chip; Make sure that the coating of aluminum foil extends to the lower part of the mask through the operning square to protect the card against high temperatures. use this youtube video as a guide (minute 06:50)

    -heat gun to regular heat on 'Medium' (or 'Low' if only two power settings); taking the mask in place immediately on top of the Radeon chip using a tool metal long (so you do not burn your fingers), slowly heat by lowering the gun hot air for the duration of a minute

    -maintain the hot graphics chip for about 30 seconds into the air gun hot about 1-2 inches above the chip. Make sure that the mask with double foil is aligned with the chip to avoid burning its below or other components of the motherboard; consider wearing a thermal glove or leather on the hand that holds the mask down with this tool metal long

    -slowly raise the heat gun on the time of ~ 30 seconds and then remove the mask and let the chip and the main map to cool for about 1-2 minutes

    -It is best to test repair before reassembly of the computer; to do this, connect the power button, display, cooling fan, a single chip of RAM and a charged battery to the main card and turn on the laptop the bone bare; See the HP logo on the screen for a success to reinvest

    -use of money from high-quality thermal compound (for example, Arctic Silver 5) and coat the surfaces of cooling of the CPU and Radeon chip, as well as the corresponding surfaces on the heatsink of heat and the puck in copper, with one layer, thin and uniform; Wipe all spilled; Place the wedge of copper on the graphics chip and carefully assemble the heat sink; don't forget to plug the fan on the main card

    -Finally, back up the phone by following the steps for disassembly in reverse order; do not mix the screws, like using a long screw where it was not may cause a short circuit or cracks in the main map

    -Use of SpeedFan to monitor the performance of you cooling system in the processor; periodically blow out or spend vacuuming of dust between the cooling fins.

    Good luck to lovers!

  • How can I connect my 1Connectez 1st generation iPod (original iPod) to a laptop

    I have an original iPod and it has a screen old port how to connect it to a laptop and they don't have these kind of show ports more

    Not sure what you mean by "display port"...  The dock connector of the original iPod (2001) is a FireWire port.  You really have an original 1st gen iPod, with a (not key or click) scroll wheel that physically turns a circle?  Looks like this

    If so, it can connect to a computer equipped with a FireWire port .  To do this, not to connect to a USB port.  There are "scam" products that claim to be a USB-to-FireWire adapter cable, but they don't work; they can even cause damage to the iPod if used.  FireWire and USB work very differently (and even use different power supply voltages); You cannot connect them just by changing the shape of the connector.

    If your computer is a Mac (no FireWire port) with a Thunderbolt port, Apple sells a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.  On a Windows PC, to connect to the 1st (or 2nd) gen iPod, you add an expansion card of a certain type that provides an actual FireWire interface.  For more details, please provide more information on your situation.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • How can I change the network settings and air play setting up the itunes which is running on my laptop (windows 10)

    A few weeks ago, I was streaming of photos to my TV using my apple TV. Now, whenever I try to play music in my laptop itunes I get the error message "the airplay APPLETV device is not available," he goes on to say "Please check your airtime... configuration and network settings. "I searched for days for these parameters.

    Now the itunes on my laptop has no audio data.

    The only way I can hear the track I'm playing, is to select the option at the foot of the error message that says "use this computer for now" - this gets quite annoying after awhile!

    any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hello [email protected],

    I understand that you encounter some problems with the sound settings on your PC after using a home since iTunes for Windows sharing.   The resources below has some basic for home sharing troubleshooting. Specifically, I would say the software updates, cycling the power to the modem/router and check the sound settings in Control Panel to do the internal speakers are of course selected.

    Where is the control panel?

    Take care.
