• HP ELITEBOOK 8740W compatible RAM

  Hello
  
  I have a HP 8740W with 4 GB of RAM and I added 2 GB Kingston PC 10600 S-9-10-F0.
  The BIOS detects the total RAM as 6144MB, but the test break-in says failure memory.
  
  It's this particular type of SODIMM incompatible with Elitebook 8740W, or it must be 4 GB already installed?

  Is there a list of brands and the RAM compatible?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  I always get the memory with 8 little black chips on each side of the Board.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/ProductList.aspx?submit=Ene&N=100007609%2050008476%20600000414%20600000406&IsNodeId=1&name=2GB

  The memory modules with 4 black chips on each side of the Board do not work for some reason any.

  May have to do with density.

  A 1, 2 or 4 GB chip should work fine.  This is other than a 4 GB module... memory will not work in DDR mode, but it will take place.

  I assumed problem with the BIOS, I have BIOS F.03 28.04.2010 but worm real version is F.09

  I went to the HP support and downloaded the latest site.

  But I can't update BIOS!

  If I use HPQFlash.exe program, he said: "after the operating system restarts, BIOS will be updated", but after restarting the BIOS operating system has old version

  If I use the options - key USB system after formatting and copying files (I checked the files on the flush), but when I try to load OS from hard Ras (after restart of ESC, F9), I see error - this disc is not system drive has chosen another, or something like that

  I tried at least trees different readers RAS, and always had the same result.

  I even downloaded bios f.08 version, but the same situation too.

  So, I try to summarize the problems

  1. computer laptop is not wake up after fashion 'sleep'

  2. it is not able to update BIOS

  3. What's wrong with loading PC from a USB...

  Is any body could help me... pleeeeeeze

• EliteBook 8740w: HP elitebook 8740w mobileworkstation

  My HP elitebook 8740w mobileworkstation, continues to give me a message unknown device is not a driver & shows the problem with the PnP devices.  Trying to use my laptop to hook a projector, but it will not mirror or even appear on the screen.  Can anyone help?

  Hello:

  I doubt that this missing driver is the cause of the video problem you are experiencing.

  However, you need the driver for this device.

  This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard to the notebook models and operating systems. HP 3D DriveGuard receives notifications of the built-in accelerometer and protects the hard drive (HDD) by automatically "the heads of parking" to reduce the risk of damage if the laptop is accidentally moved or deleted.

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53501-54000/sp53795.exe

  As much on the PC do not project onto a screen, the only suggestion I can offer is make sure you have installed the driver of graphics for model graphics card that has your laptop.

  There are pilots of 7 cards listed on the support page, so unfortunately, I don't know that you need.

  A missing graphic driver is usually the cause of problems like this.

• HP EliteBook 8740w p/n VB744AV: Base model with only 2 RAM slots does not level up to 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB only?

  So I discovered that my laptop is a version of the basic model of the Elitebook 8740w so I'm missing 2 RAM slots. However, I went to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB the other day, and after ensuring all the RAM was split and firmly fixed my laptop would only flicker the lights indicating that my ports were dirty, RAM was split in correctly or I ordered the bad RAM sticks (which I didn't, I double checked). So I have of the 4 GB split into the slot of the RAM under the keyboard and replace one of the original 2 GB sticks in the other RAM more accessible location at the bottom of the computer. Laptop started fine. I'll try the RAM slot again later tonight when I get home from work, but if anyone has any experience with this issue, I'd love to hear corrections or explanations on what I can do wrong.

  I also want to note that I checked the specifications of the computer and it says that it should support the 8 GB of RAM or more. However I do not know if this is a generalization of the product since it usually comes with 4 vs slots of RAM upgrade only the 2 I have in my laptop.

  Quad Core versions have 4 RAM slots and Dual Core 2 slots. Max 32 gig and 16 gig respectively. Try the reslotting and let us know how it goes. 8 concerts must be OK, assuming that compatible. If the problem persists, please provide the manufacturer for both modules reference numbers.

• EliteBook 8740w thinks that the lid is closed, but it is open?

  Hello

  I have an EliteBook 8740w running Windows 7 64 bit and I have a strange problem where the laptop seems to think that the cover is closed when it is open.

  If the cover is open, the screen is off the touchpad and keyboard, the two do not work and not the function of the buttons volume or wifi. When the screen is almost completely closed the screen turns back on, the keyboard and the mouse are beginning to work again, but it is not usable, because it is about 5 degrees, far from fully closed.

  It seems that it is just reverse how it is supposed to work?

  All this happened when I unplugged my power cord. The screen turned white and it has been in place since then. I tried several reboots, nothing seems to recover.

  I can run on my external monitor very well, so the laptop seems to be otherwise functional

  Thanks in advance for any ideas

  Maybe you did not reset properly.

  Remove the battery and adapter and all the things connected to the laptop.

  Hold the power button down for 1 full minute and only plug the adapter back to (do not insert the battery) and start.

  The next time you stop everything, install the battery.

• EliteBook 8740W after HP, SD card reader driver update appears as XD Picture Card

  Hello

  I have an EliteBook 8740W mobile workstation, and it's been great up to a recent software update.

  I don't know exactly when it started because I use not the constantly SD card reader but after a recent update HP Support Assistant, the SD card reader has a problem: any type of card, I put in there, he thinks it's a xD Picture Card.

  I have several different SD cards and tried all. They work fine on other devices; but when I put in the card on the EliteBook reader, same thing: Xd Picture Card. If I click it to open it Windows says 'Please insert a Picture Card xD'

  Device Manager displays the card reader, like the three types of support:

  

  But if I turn off the device of xD-Picture card, it doesn't recognize any card inserted at all.

  So, basically, the SD 'detection', if nothing else, is broken, and he thinks that SD cards are cards xD.

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the full card reader drivers and it still does the same thing.

  Thank you!

  Right click on each of these Ricoh entries in Device Manager and select uninstall.

  When finished

  Right click on any device in DM and select 'Search for hardware changes' Windows reinstall the hardware and drivers, see if that helps, if not I think the reader can have due to a malfunction.

  Use a bright flashlight and make sure nothing got in the card slot that should not be there.

Simply contact the HP Support and discuss all the options available.

  I will try to see and update accordingly.

  Let me know if you face difficulties.

Of course, if you want something dedicated, complicated or more special and not directly related to HP products (for example not issue of BIOS password or specific Microsoft product issue, for example), HP can offer, you paid services such as Smart Friend.
