DV7-3085dx material

I have a dv7-3085dx. The only problem I have with it is that the graphics are too slow for me Nvidia GeForce 230 M. I read that it is possible on some models and higher levels of laptops that you are able to improve these. When I bought this laptop, it was a high end at the time and I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade and what, where my upgrades options?

Hello

Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

  • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
  • Need new card system (can be),
  • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
  • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
  • Cost of the work.
  • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion model: dv7 - 3085dx

    You help me find the correct supply for the dv7 - 3085dx who was just given to me by a parent?  the adapter that I use now will only work the computer and will not charge the battery.  I use a HP RN193 power supply now that is only turning off Watt 120 Volt 18.5 and 3.5 amps, while specifications provide 120 watts, Volts 18.5 and 6.5 amps.  What is the right adapter and where can I get one?  I'll damage my computer using the wrong adapter?

    Hi @JMM64

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand your concern about this adapter you are using. Looks like it is mislabeled or something, because 18.5V to 3.5 Amps is not out of 120 Watts, it instead of 65 Watts. Is this a HP one adapter or third party peripheral? I would not recommend the use of this card, in order to feature. The main problem will be if you attach other devices to your laptop, increasing its power consumption. It is possible, it will work, but could be erratic if you use external devices, or DVD, or put more tension on the graphics card of the applications. The system can just Brown out on you, because food can not handle the expectations are higher, when these conditions are met.

    For your reference, here's the HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide

    On page 3-10 in this manual is the part number for the power adapters supported, so presumably it's the 120W you are looking for. There is also an adapter 90W on the same page.

    Here is the part number for the: 120-W AC adapter 463953-001

  • Pavillian Dv7-3085dx: memory upgrade

    I have Dv7-3085dx with intel 1.6 Ghz processor. The manual indicates memory max is 8 GB, but I noticed in several of the questions forum upgrades memory 16 GB is possible. Which also apply to my model?

    Thank you

    Of your maintenance manual:

    Supports the 1066 MHz DDR3, up to 8 GB of RAM in the following configurations: ■ total system memory of 8192 MB (4096 MB x 2, dual-channel)

    16 gigs is compatible only with the dv7 models later. 8 gigs is still plenty of RAM, and very few users really need more than 8 GB.

    Hello

    Do a hard reset:
    1 disconnect all devices and remove all USB devices and multimedia cards.
    2 disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery and then press in and hold the button for at least 1 minute.
    3 reconnect the power adapter (do not connect the battery), press the power button.

    Verification is your problem is resolved or not.

  • HP dv7-3085dx power light flashes, but the laptop does not work.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx. It has a hard drive Bay 2.

    Recently, I bought the caddy + cable kit and an Intel SSD. The thing is, when I plug the sata cable to the motherboard for the laptop, and the SSD to it, the laptop does not light. When I press the power button, it flashes once (the power LED flashes once), but the laptop does not light. When I press again, nothing happens.

    I tried to remove the power supply plug, battery and plug it all again, but the power light flashes once (when you press the power button) and no reaction.

    Maybe it's the sata cable: when I remove the new cable and connect the SSD with the sata cable on the 1 hard drive Bay (the cable supplied with the notebook), it works fine. The laptop starts. And when I connect the former sata cable, with the SSD on the second hard drive Bay, it also works.

    I just want to now what is the flashing light means light? Why it does not work with the new cable?

    Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English...

    Emilio.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the kit. I would recommend to download and install the latest BIOS update for your laptop, using the download at the following link: http://goo.gl/rbHkg

    If it still doesn't work after that, I would recommend to suppress the kit for a replacement or to try another.

  • DV7-3085DX 2nd HDD Bay

    I have a look at my DV7-3085DX and see that there is a second HDD Bay but no connection to connect a 2nd internal hard drive.

    Is it possible to add connectors & turn on the 2nd hard drive Bay? If so how can it be done?

    Also, I noticed that connections exist inside for a tv tuner, is it possible to use this connection?

    Any help or answers greatly appreciated.

    At least the drive and theoretically Yes Yes on the tv tuner even though it is expensive. You need the module and a special cable. I can't find the part on the internet or on this site, but you could maybe call HP or even look on ebay. Here is the part that you need to add a second drive. It's the caddy and a connection cable.

  • DV7-3085dx: change the main HDD for Pavilion

    Hello!

    I'm trying to change my HARD drive of the main slot to the second, is it possible to make the second main drive instead of the default value?

    When I turn on my computer right now it says the message "no booteable devices."

    Thank you!

    Of course you can just put the SSD in the main Bay and put a regular hard drive in secondary education, if you have the caddies and cables connection. Just as this guy says:

  • HP dv7-3085dx entertainment No.: System Recovery

    When you use the F11 function key to switch to system recovery mode to perform a complete system of my 5 recovery disk recovery, it won't let me choose system recovery option.  It comes to ticket put forward as an option for me.  So, I can't read my recovery disk to do a factory restore.  How can I get around that?

    At the start of recovery disks do not type F11. With the disc in the drive power to the top of the machine and immediately press the ESC key. In the menu press F9 Boot Options. Use the arrow keys to move to the bottom and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot option. Press the Enter key.

    Hello

    "Blink" code you mention would indicate that the graphics controller is not working.  Is your laptop still under warranty?  If this is the case, you will need to contact HP and arrange for the laptop repaired under warranty.

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

  • HP DV7-3085 possible upgrade

    Hi, I have a VM188UA DV7-3085dx

    It has the Nvidia GT 230 m video card

    and the Intel i7 Q720 Quad Core 1.6 GHz

    Are there maps system that can be upgraded either or a processor faster and video card? moslty video card is what I'm looking for. Does pretty much everything I need, but a graphics card with more memory would be a great help.

    What about exchanging the whole motherboard. Are there other models that are compatible? The cpu, that I don't really have to update, it's more the video card, I want to be a little better.

    There are only two compatible mothers and the other has a worse than your card. Computer laptop is not a gaming machine or if it is quite expensive because the cards of good graphics for laptops cost more expensive than for desktop computers and that ones really...

    Sell the laptop and buy a new...
