• HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

  I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

  When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

  When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

  would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

  Hmmm.
  Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.
  
  Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
  If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.
  
  There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.
  
  Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.
  
  On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
  Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.
  
  Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.
  
  Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

• Satellite L750D - keyboard & touchpad has stopped working

  Hello guys

  My keyboard & touchpad stopped working today.
  Its a Satellite L750D Part # PSK36A-009008 7B339221W serial No.

  I tried a restore to an earlier date

  Can anyone help
  PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

  Sounds like a hardware problem.
  Try to configure the computer laptop back to factory settings. I guess you have to use an external USB keyboard in case the internal keyboard does not work.

  Here is an instruction how to perform a system restore?

  Anyone has any suggestions or do I now has an "office of low power!

  > after updates in line required, keyboard & touchpad no longer works, when it is connected to the docking station.

• HP EliteBook 8730w: new installation of Windows 7 on HP EliteBook 8730w?

  Is it possible to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on HP EliteBook 8730w?

  In other words, if my machine is not currently of any operating system installed, I can use a DVD to install Windows 7 directly or do I install Windows Vista first, before the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello:

  If you have a lot of retail or oem drive of W7 installed and the corresponding product key, you need not to install vista first.

  If you have a drive of W7 upgrade, then you must install vista first and then upgrade to W7 and select the custom (clean) installation option then enter the W7 upgrade product key.

  If you upgrade a disk, there may be a way to install W7 without installing Vista first.

  You can do a search on the internet for a few links that provide information about how to do this.  For example:

• Satellite L750D - issue strange keyboard/touchpad

  Hi guys, I'm new here and I hope you can help me.

  I have a Satellite L750D here who has a strange keyboard/touchpad issue.

  Recently, my screen was replaced and I toke the possibility of replacing the DD by a SDS.

  I used the OS restore cd that I created from the partition recovery and completely reinstalled Windows 7 64 - Bit ones.

  Everything seemed to work well after the last restart.

  Then my after reboot, the keyboard was not working and or the touchpad.
  I tried to restart / stop and start again, no change.

  I plugged a USB keyboard and mouse, both work perfectly.

  I reinstalled the drivers of touchpad on Toshiba site, still no change.

  Then, I closed the lid and leave Notepad go into sleepmode/setting standby extended and found that when I opened the lid/screen, the keyboard was working again, but not the touchpad.

  Fn + F9 made no difference.

  I then pressed the button above the touchpad, but the touchpad remained dead. But after pressing this button, the keyboard went dead too!
  The key for the touchpad power made no difference, the keyboard or the touchpad remained dead.

  Given zero made no difference either.

  Throw the drivers in safe mode led the pilots to be reinstalled, but both keyboard and the touchpad remained dead.

  The only thing to bring back the keyboard is the cover and goes sleepmode/setting to Hibernate and wake up to the laptop.

  But press the button above the keyboard and the touchpad is dead again.

  Started from a Windows 7-LIVE CD, both keyboard and the touchpad remained dead.
  Started from a live CD of Ubuntu Linux, keyboard works, no mather, you press the button for the touchpad, but the touchpad
  died.

  Is there anything else I can try, or what I have to assume there's something defect requiring hardware repair/replacement?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Kind regards

  I plugged a USB keyboard and mouse, both work perfectly.

  It's really strange... from my point of view of the rare, the mouse and external keyboard works properly, then the controller should be OK, and this means that the anomaly must be linked to the defective keyboard / touchpad.

  But on the other hand, you said that the keyboard works correctly starting Linux Live CD.
  For me, it makes no sense and I'm confused...

  Anyway, given that the laptop has been disassembled to replace the screen and other parties, I think that something went wrong during this process and probably a part has been affected...

  In my opinion, it is advisable to replace the keyboard and to check if it will fix the problem.

• EliteBook 8730w ks074ut: pilot 3d

  Hi all

  I need to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit on my trusty 8730w.  Try some Thinkpads I used make is easy in the face of this problem by allowing you to download the wifi driver, and a tool to update the system that makes most of the rest of the driver install for you.  I guess they aren't counting on old IBm'ers be smart enough to figure it out for themselves.

  Any chance of HP has a tool something like that?

  If not, could someone help me a list of the drivers that I need?

  Or maybe just the ones that I'm going to need to get a new facility for you connect to driver support page?

  I have on the 8730w

• AC adapter / CC / Elitebook 8730W-can I use 200W safely?

  I have a laptop EliteBook 8730w. It comes with an external adapter Smart AC 120 watts to 150 watts.

  A friend gave me a 200W power adapter replacement which was originally for the 8740w. It matches my 8730w but is it safe to use as it is of a higher power than the original?

  I talked to HP Support and they advised its fine to use the adapter of 200W. Since they are intelligent adapters, they are made to reduce power regardless of the laptop needs. That is, if the laptop is peaks at 150 w or 90W then the adapter will only provide that much.

  Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

  When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

• EliteBook 8730w: need help with reset password BIOS HP Elitebook 8730w

  Dear community, I have a HP Elitebook 8730w and I forgot the BIOS password. I tried everything I could remember, I slept several days above to remind him, but I'm lost. I contacted HP support and they said that they would not help with a file of type smc.bin (which has been mentioned in many forums). No idea how to fix? I need to change the HARD disk but do not dare to do so that I can not configure the new HDD or SSD in BIOS.

  Help would be appraciated. I do not directly post P/N and S/N, due to privacy regulations in this forum. But if anyone can help me, please send a message and I'll post all the necessary details.
