Effect of upgrading the hard drive on the warranty

I plan to spend another £ 150 to upgrade my warranty so that all repairs are done at home I'm going to have a problem with my Bluetooth and can not be without my laptop for a week or more.

But I am also considering upgrading my 350 GB HARD drive 1 TB - how will it affect my warranty?

Kind regards

  • The urge to Ultrabook 6 problem with recovery after failure of hard drive (out of warranty)

    Hello

    Please can someone tell me if it is true that to use HP factory recovery disks, hardware must be exactly the same as when purchased.

    After hours wasted trying to get the recovery disks to work, I find myself with the same "failed to retrieve @ screen and some unnecessary lines of code."

    In reading the various posts, it seems that I have a replacement for HP HARD drive of the same type that came with the computer. If this is the case, then the links on the support pages should say this before I have pay £39 for a set of disks.

    For me, a hard drive is a hard drive. I replaced a drive fried (1 month out of warranty expires) with a good brand replacement, but larger. Disks won't load.

    However, I could load W7 form an iso file and get that to work. I need the recovery because I do not know how to configure raid which allows the QuickStart on this laptop, and I don't have the time or no further inclination to make it work.

    Partly a rant, sorry, but I'm wrong, and is there a solution?

    Concerning

    I have seen others with this problem. Unfortunately, the only working solution, I remember the top was where a guy removed the player cache Msata, ran recovery then reinstalled.

    On a single charge of Win 7 I think you could install the Intel Quick Start software, then use it to activate the quick start. I have more a laptop Win 7 with Msata to test, but I remember the software could be opened from the icon beside the system clock and used to toggle the quick start.

  • Security of the data to hard drive replaced under warranty

    My laptop is fixed by virtue of the extended due to a hard drive failure warranty. HP has no problem, replace the defective drive. However, I asked that they return the drive failed for me, because it contains personal data and I want to make sure it is properly destroyed. They refuse to send me the original drive, unless I have pay $290 for it. Otherwise they will simply ship the laptop to me not repaired.

    I am very hurt to her comfortable while simply trust that the reader will be well destroyed. I hear too many stories on data personal discs playing in landfills or elsewhere. I don't know that it would happen to HP, but then I don't know it won't, either, and it is not a value of potential risk.

    Does anyone know what HP is doing to "destroy" a hard drive? Alternatively, anyone has any advice on how to convince HP to return my hard drive of origin for no additional cost, as it should be without me having to jump through hoops?

    I can assure you that all personal data is secure when HP parts for refurbished devices used. HP treats thousands of thousands of pieces per day. Unless your failed hard drive is labeled "TOP SECRET" noone will give him a second glance. It merely add to the line, dismantled and the parties go into hp quality tests where they create parts for refurbished devices. The trays are too sensitive for them to be swapped around without a clean room. They are destroyed. probably thrown in a dumpster somewhere. Once that any type of dust gets on the trays the discs are unreadable, even if they have been good before he was saying-assembled. It is not cost-efficiant to slow production just to get the trays on a hard drive in a clean room. It is easier to throw away them and have a machine to replace

  • Upgrade Z60m Hard drive

    Hi all

    I plan to upgrade the hard drive in my z60m, a Seagate momentus 7200.4, essentially because it's in the final list of the firmware update I could find.

    I created the ISO disc for the verification of updates of the firmware of the HARD drive and checked my current drive, it works.

    I intend to install windows on the new drive using the restore discs, after which I will manually install the updates for all drivers and all the files that I use regularly.

    My question is when should I use the ISO HDD firmware update program. I'm not buying my IBM HARD drive and understand that the update of the firmware may not work, but at what point should I try. I thought to install the new hard drive and then run the firmware update software before you install the OS from the restore disks. Is this true or do I have to update the firmare HDD after that I installed the original image on the new hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Firmware update is really not so much a big deal, you can do it from a bootable CD before installing the operating system, or at any time after that you installed. It really won't do much difference anyway.

    Good luck.

  • Pavilion 15-n070sw: is it possible to upgrade a hard drive in this model?

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion 15-n070sw (no longer under warranty) and was wondering about upgrading my drive ssd hard drive. However I noticed some users report problems of compatibility between this model and ssd drive (+ there is no option to set the AHCI mode in the BIOS settings...). Because I don't want to invest in a reader, that I won't be able to use, I wanted to check here - this model will support an SSD?

    Thank you very much in advance for clearing that for me!

    M

    Yes it will absolutely accept an SSD. There is no need to mess with the BIOS as the definition of only for storage controller's ahci. Could not set it to something else if you want. Windows 7 and above will simply TRIM and NCQ which is what you need for the optimization of the SSD. A lot of tutorials out there comes from another era, when it was harder to get a job of SSD. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Pages 63-70 are the 'how' to remove the top cover and replace the hard drive with a 2.5-inch SSD SATA. I can recommend a Samsung 850 Evo as best consumer SSD, but many others is good and you can shop for an agreement.

    The trick to that prepared in advance how you reinstall Windows clean install from a Windows system image backup or clone. All are viable options, but have their own procedures and pitfalls. We can help with that.

  • Pavilion p001tx 3rd Gen: keyboard changes upgrade and hard drive for HP pavilion P001tx 3rd gen

    Dear HP,

    I am former HP employee worked for many years and big fan of HP.

    I bought the HP Pavilion P001tx in November 2014.

    question;

    1. can you exchange or upgrade from keypad with backlight one?

    2. can we exchange or upgrade the Normal Hard Disk 1 TB with SSHD 1 TB keyboard?

    WebCam is too dull...

    Thank you.

    You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

    You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.

  • Is it possible to upgrade memory hard drive?

    I'm just trying to see if I can move on to more memory on the hard drive of my computer or if I just need to go buy an external hard drive?

    Hi tnof77,

    Hard disks have "cache" memory but thats all and it cannot be upgraded. While the cache is important, that the amount of space on the hard drive is the main point of Director. If you run out of space hard drive then, Yes, you need to either buy a hard drive more "internal" or, if you only need additional space for the files etc, an external hard drive.

  • Get Windows 7 upgrade after HARD drive failure

    My HARD drive has failed.  My pc came with Vista with an upgrade to 7.  The recovery disc are Vista.  How can we get 7.  It is impossible to contact HP by email.  My product ID has rubbed off.  Otherwise, I would install just 7.  Any suggestioins?

    Hello

    I think that HP has sent you a DVD with a key for this free upgrade a few years back. You must know where you keep now, otherwise you have to communicate with Misrosoft because it's a Microsoft product, and Microsoft's offer through agreements with other providers of material.

    Kind regards.
