DV6-6119wm: HP Pavilion dv6-6119wm - replace the hard drive with a hard drive from a laptop Gateway

OK (deep breath). I have a dilemma, and I hope that you all can help me.

First of all, the HP laptop in question is a dv6-6119wm QE069UA #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium.

A month ago, it began overheating and then blue screened on me with a fan error. I ran it while I was getting this error, which was a mistake, because according to me, he has finally caused the hard drive failure after enforcement of reset factory several times. But I'm getting ahead.

I replaced the fan and the heatsink myself. Another factory reset. Downloaded and installed all the updates of windows. Ran great for like a week with the exception of the fault 1 hard disk when I ran the Start Up Test.

Then when I restarted yesterday... He's dead, so he is dead.  Apparently, the hard drive failed completely and comes only a black screen telling me it cannot start.

So, I have this other model of Gateway laptop, NV55C26u which has stopped charging. I had to put it away and don't worry. I got out the hard drive and tried HP successfully. ! Sorta.

It considers that the HP is a gateway and as a result, none of the drivers are there for all the good stuffs HP. It cannot connect to the internet and does not recognize the USB flash drive. (I had downloaded all the drivers on another laptop and put them on a pious flash drive I could convince the hard drive it's HP again). Another hard drive WILL work in the dv6, and I had no errors on startup it upward.

I have no recovery discs or store bought Windows 7, all came with the laptop preinstalled. But I don't have my key to the label.

Then what should I do? I'm not exactly tech savvy, I know just enough to be dangerous haha, but I tend to go glassy when things get too technical. I thought I could get something Microsoft to reinstall my Windows but I guess they closed this path down a few months ago.

I have access to 2 other laptops, both HP. A QE304UA of Pavilion G7 #ABA with Windows 7 Home Premium and a HP 250 G2 Portable F7V84UT #ABAwith Windows 7 Professional.

So basically in order to encapsulate this novel to the top, which can do here to fix my dv6? How can I convince this other HDD HP rather than Gateway? I can create something from one of these other HP laptops? Download something somewhere? I don't want to have to buy Windows again. I love this phone and need her in my life as a game.

Please help me

You must do a clean install of Windows on them. The hard drive has drivers for completely different material. Too bad that you did not have your drive to retrieve the value. It would restore the hard drive to HP with all the drivers/software installed. It would depend if the hard disk is at least the same capacity or larger than the original. Recovery discs are reluctant to a smaller capacity hard drive.

You can order recovery Medai for about $16:

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

If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

    You can at any retail Branded 2.5 "SATA HDD 9.5 mm thickness, 1 TB will be OK - no problem with that.

    Looking at the Manual - Page 59-61, the replacement procedure is not just easy to him if you're not used to it, needs great disassembly & may void the warranty if you do it yourself if under warranty. You can Contact HP for this.

    This would be nice.

    HP would replace the HARD drive for free, if that came with the laptop failed in respect of the warranty period.

  • Can I replace the standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard on this laptop?

    The laptop is the Pavilion 15 p267-nr. I know that the new buildings have an option for a backlit keyboard, but I don't know about this particular model. It is possible that I would take it to a technician to do because this laptop seems very complicated to make upgrades to.  The keyboard that is currently a has not all icons in the F5 key, which is where the backlit function should be enabled on.

  • Error 1 full (305) hard drive with dv6-6119tx - is it worth to replace the HARD drive?

    Hello!

    I bought the mobile entertainment HP Pavilion dv6-6119tx (QB365PA) in July 2011. The specifications are - processor: Intel Core i5 - 2410M, integrated RAM DDR 3 4 GB, HDD: 640 GB (Toshiba) operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

    Since I bought this machine it has been giving me problems in time. First webcam died within the first 2 months, then the DVD recorder failed then it was the keyboard and finger print sensor. There were several problems with the installation of microsoft update. Six months ago, I replaced the 6-cell battery. I bought a costly maintenance contract for the second year, given the number of aging I met within the first year of use. Apart from the battery which was of course not covered under the contract, I had no other problems in the 2nd year. And just as this contract expired in August of this year I started facing problems, I got BSOD on two or three occasions. After each incident system booted normally and everything was fine except the Device Manager indicates problems with infrared devices consumers. The problem seems to have exploded on its own. Then since the past two months, my computer started freezing during startup and for initial 5-10 minutes. After startup. In this duration, I checked several times HARD drive health using the utility BIOS InsydeH2O repeatedly. The time required for the diagnosis seems to be gradually increasing with each analysis later but he still passed diagnostics. But today, when he sent 'Hard disk 1 (305) full' message and yet I am able to boot but with freezy start-up. Today, the system froze in the middle of something twice and I had to stop hard. When I ran Avast! It froze at 99% on detailed analysis. He struck the syswow64 folder file and showed an infected file.  I have run windows error checking-HD and it showed no errors.

    My questions are-

    1. what seems to be the problem? What is a HDD failure or infection?

    2. is it useful to replace the HARD disk if the problems are the result of HARD drive problems?

    3. I argued my sytem on external HARD drive, I can install Windows 7 on new HD, if get a?

    4 system backup of files is only 274 MB in size, is this good?

    5. If I purchase the new hard drive has the same specifications and manufacturer as the current one or can I update? If I can update what are recommended replacements?

    Hi KlebersonofGun:

    Thanks yo for your answer.  I send you a link to the Guide "Maintenance and Service" for your computer, click here. Page 62 has a section on the replacement hard drive

    You can use any brand of hard drive, as long as it fits the plug.

    I hope this helps.

  • Failed to retrieve after replacing the hard drive on my DV6

    I replaced the hard drive on my DV6.  Insert the recovery discs, I had done and went through the process.  At the end it rebooted and was told that he failed.  Says to put 1 recovery disc in and try again, but just a loop even message.

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.

  • Replace the hard drive on dv6-2136el

    Hello

    My dv6-2136el hard drive is broken and I need to replace it.

    I have the recovery disks that I created with Recovery Manager.

    Which hard drive I buy in order to restore the computer with the recovery disks that I created? It must be the same disk or can I buy a bigger or faster?

    To reinstall the system enough to replace the hard drive and start the recovery cd?

    Thank you for your valuable suggestions,

    Matteo

    Hello

    The best idea is to open the Windows Device Manager and check if there are any entries with a yellow icon against them - pilots who are not always installed by Windows 7 automatically can include the card reader, DriveGuard, validity sensor driver if you have a fingerprint reader.

    Regarding the partitioning of the HARD disk, there should be no problem using Windows disk management tool to reduce the Partition C - 60 GB is fine for the operating system.  Also remember that you can have only 4 partitions primary (you will already have 2 - hidden and system that contains startup files and the C partition).

    Kind regards

    Hello:

    All the drivers, specifications and manuals are missing from pages support again.

    This happened earlier in the week also.

    Another Member of the forum has reported the problem to administrators forum, which will be in touch tour HP, but since I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I don't know how long it will take to restore the missing data to the support pages.

    Whether the weekend will not help much either.

  • Pavilion dv6600ev: I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I want to check compatibility

    Hello guys. I would like to replace the HARD drive and the RAM in my HP laptop. I would check the compatibility. For the momemt, I have 2 x 512 MB of RAM and a 160 GB HARD drive. Does anyone know the type of RAM (DDR1 or DDR2 most) and the accepted maximum capacity. Also the SATA port is a SATA I? Besides, I'm going to change the operating system (preferably in Win 7) so is there a driver?

    You can install DDR2-800 modules and they are the most widely available at this point, but the memory will run at 667 mhz speed.
