• Envy dv7: SimplePass Windows 10 Finger Scanner does not

  I installed Windows 10 months. I recently installed a "critical" update  After the installation of the system, my icon 'start' at the bottom left of my screen don't work anymore. My SimplePass is no longer turned on or worked.

  I did a system restore on the eve of the critical update.   I still can't use SimplePass.

• HP envy 6 formatted windows 7 family base and not able to install windows 7 ultimate

  my laptop is hp envy6 1011tu. and it came with windows 7 home basic.i due to format the laptop because the very slow process. first of all I tried to do the recovery of the system with hp support assistant, but the option was not functional for some reason any. then I made a support recovery, but even in this laptop case started normally, nothing happened. Then, I made a bootable iso image of windows 7 ultimate power with usb and formatted the laptop. but when the installation was complete, it displays error, saying cannot complete the installation because of hardware bundles. reboot to reinstall windows. and then I did it again, but once again the same result.  After that I tried to install win 7 home base using the recovery disk, but it displays error because of recent hardware and software changes could not complete the operation. I even tried to install ubuntu using the bootable usb key, but its saying no OS not detected in the inserted disc.

  Please help, what to do next. the product is under warranty. I bought it last October.

  Hello

  In this case, I would say try the SP1 version because it contains more hardware drivers - the link below for Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit (the source is Digital River).

  http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-24395.ISO

  I recommend also using the Microsoft tool on the link below to create the bootable flash drive.

• Dv7 7243 cl envy: Envy dv7 7243 cl: installed SSD cloned as 1, new HD as 2nd. HD not recognized by Windows 8.1.

  My project: Installation SSD as main boot drive and a HD as secondary data drive.

  (1) purchased Samsung SSD 512 Pro, caddy Newmodeus & cable and a USB 3.0 to SATA 3 interface cable. - Fact

  (2) courses provided by using SSD HD clone start-up cable interface and software. - Fact

  (3) replace the current boot with SSD HD into the slot in the main drive of the dv7. - Fact

  (4) boot SSD dv7. - Fact, successfully starting from: SSD

  (5) purchase new HD, same model as the original HD boot (I wanted to record original HD) - fact

  (6) installed the new HD (as-is to the supplier) on the slot of the dv7 second disc using caddy and cable. - Fact

  (7) booted into BIOS dv7, ran F2 System Diagnostics / system information. - Made, has identified the two new HD and SSD

  (8)... / tests of components / Hard Drive / Quick Test / run once / select hard drives / 2. - Smart and DST both past

  (9) booted dv7 in Windows 8.1. - Fact

  (10) Ran / storage / disk (Local) management - showed no new HD, just the SSD and the CD-ROM.

  I guess the new HD and cable are ok since step 7 showed his information and step 8 showed it has passed its tests.

  The new does HD must be partitioned and formatted to be identified in point 8.1 of Windows?

  Upgrade to Windows 10 will fix the problem?

  Note: I unplugged the new HD SATA port and connected directly to my dv7 via a USB 3.0 port.  When I ran it again / storage / disk (Local) the new HD management has been shown (without drive letter and no file system designation) with 3 partitions.

  Any help getting my dv7 recognize the new HD would be greatly appreciated,

  Hi @pmhanson,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  It is a wonderful place to find answers and suggestions.

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

  Learn how to post and more

  I understand that you have properly installed the SSD as boot drive. You have installed a new HD and it is recognized in the bios and passed all the tests. With the two drivers installed internally you started Windows but when you check the disk management it does not list the new HD.  While in disk management have you tried clicking on "Action and selecting"Analyze the disks?"

  When you have removed the hard drive and connected with the USB cable, the drive is listed and you saw 3 partitions on it with partitions without designation of file system and the drive letter. If the Player did not recognize when you did the rescan in disk management, because it is recognized when connected with USB, you can try to reformat the drive and assigning a driver letter when you are logged here.  Now, restart your laptop if you reinstall the internal drive, if it recognizes the drive?

  Please let me know the results.

• Install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 with win7 dual boot and windows 8

  I can install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 buth with dual boot: win7 and windows 8?

  Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

  

  Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic. The use of the SP1 disc usually resolves most disk hard AF and other issues. )

  Install Windows 7 on the partition without label that was established earlier when you shrunk the partition "C:". Continue to install WIndows 7 by / responding to all the guests. Once you download Windows 7 on your computer, we have to track down the compatible drivers for it. Please list all the "hardware ID" for unknown or missing devices.

• Hinge for the HP ENVY dv7 problem

  I bought a HP ENVY dv7 two years December 6, 2012.  I don't really know when this hinge problem started, but when I saw the first time I've been a bit supprised then ignored it, thinking it was no big deal. But then he began to cause more problems than time and whenever I opened my laptop, problems such that the angle of the face has been slowly poping up and the window too.

  I now could push corn on the backs of the part to place when never opened the laptop and the part comes out even when I close, so I would it push in place.

  Last night, I discovered that the rear corner detached reveling inside the laptop when closed. I found the piece broke not for long. I think the part that is interrupted when I was placing the laptop inside my bag.  On a side note, not once I have droped laptop.

    

  Piece                       Side view                                                                                                         Back View Closed

  Is there anyway to fix my problem of Hindge?

  In fact I recently fixed it my self...

  I guess the screw jumped and it is the only screw that holds one side of the hinge in place.

  I just replaced the missing screw with one of the screws in back and it's been fixed just like new. Well other than breakage of exhibits... I also noticed that the other screws were not tight all the way.

  I hope this helps.

• activate the AHCI mode on Envy Dv7 - 7398ca with SSD

  Year old i7 envy Dv7 - 7398ca notebook with SSD Samsung 840 Pro x 256.  Windows 8.1

  I've updated to the SSD shortly after I purchsed the laptop.

  No problem except the Samsung SSD Wizard software keeps tagging me as AHCI mode is disabled and must be enabled and I do not see it in the BIOS.

  Or I see anything that relates in the device as IDE Manager or other.

  It seems that the SSD is optimizing not itself based on the fact that it considers that AHCI is disabled.

  I apologize for the issue being this topic seems to be beaten to death over time, but I do not see what relates to this model or similar.

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  The system is set to ahci or RAID mode. You can tell that by opening the Device Manager and look at the storage controllers. Anyway it is optimized for SSDS and TRIM is activated. You can simply remove the program from Samsung and rest assured that your SSD is optimized.

• Dv7-7250sw envy: replacing the motherboard in Envy dv7-7350sw

  Hello

  I have some questions to ask:

  1. is it possible to replace the motherboard in this laptop with motherboard with better graphics card? If there is could you write a serial number and model.

  2. my motherboard is broken - beyond repair and I need a new, same motherboard that the original is not found. Is it possible to order directly form maker? If there is, I would ask for contact and some tips.

  I'd appreciate any help ^^

  You have listed two different models, of which one is an AMD processor and the other is Intel. I will assume that you have the Intel model. Otherwise after return to clarify and we can do it for a model of AMD. Even if you have a processor AMD motherboard described below would be better, but you will have to get a motherboard and processor, of course.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Your manual

  Your listing:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03635483

  You have an i7-3630QM and nVidia GT650M video.

  The jury will have a faster processor; up to an Intel Quad Core i7-3840QM but it is no better than the 650 M video, you already have. In other words, you have the top of the motherboard brand for this model, and no better motherboard will fit in the chassis.

  You have this motherboard:

  To be used on computer models equipped with an Intel quad core NVIDIAR GeForceR 650 graphical subsystem of M with 2 GB memory discreet and operating system Windows 8 Standard 682040-501

  I have some difficulty to check, but here he is waiting in HP Partsurfer upward:

  http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=682040-501

  You can contact HP from this link, but I think it's maybe out of stock at HP.

  This seller has for $130, which is a pretty fair price:

• HP ENVY DV7-7212nr motherboard Possible failure?

  HP DV7-7212nr ENVY

  ------------------------

  • Windows 8 (factory) upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 thru Windows Store.
  • 8 GB RAM DDR3
  • NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB GDDR5
  • 750 GB HARD drive with 32 GB WSSD Cache
  • Ralink RT3290 wireless card (beginning to remove connections a few days before this happened)

  Last night, I was using my laptop normally and he sat to play a game. During the game, he's dead, and not even think, I just returned it to my office for the next day.

  Well, today, I rebooted it and went to turn it on and I have almost nothing! The power light stays on and the hard disk activity is solid for about 2 seconds then turn off. The screen is blank, there is no blinking or beep codes and the WiFi light does not change color indicating that the computer has at least started.

  Being a computer scientist, I removed the RAM and reinstalled it. That did not help. I also tried to boot without the hard drive is connected. That does not help either. I also tried the Win + B BIOS recovery with my hard drive and a USB drive and no luck there dry. The last (possibly) worst part is... I removed the RAM and lit without it and still, no code blink or beep.

  At this point, I believe that my laptop has a failed motherboard, but I'm just checking from now until I have the chance to call HP support if there is anything else I can try. My warranty expires in three weeks only, if at least it happened before, not after.

  In addition, no one knows the direct phone number to the HP support which is on the ground in the USA. I never had a good turn-out speaking with the support of offshore and would like to work with someone who can help me better right off the bat.

  Thank you!

• SSD for HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC

  Product name: HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC

  I would replace the C drive with an SSD (size 256G). Recommendations on disc compatible or recommended? Thank you.

  Thank you very much for the reply. Problems of compatibility with resection I expect the drive size (in GB)? Thank you.

  I don't think so. The only problem, what could happen is that the recovery disks don't work because the original hard drive was too big. However, this is not a problem. You can perform a new installation using the original version of Windows and the product key from the sticker on the laptop. In this case do not activate it online but wait for an activation message (activate by phone) who wakes up early after the new installation.

• HP Envy Dv7-7255dx could not use records to Support HP; All testing equipment

  Hi all

  I'm trying to fix my friend computer that crashed about 2 weeks ago.

  My current problem is that the system recovery disks did not work at all on the 3 times I tried the system restore on this device.

  I think there may be a BIOS problem, because it's the only option in addition to the hardware failure I try hard.  I contacted HP support to try to get the BIOS update file or a file of recovery, and they said that they cannot provide for me, so my only option with HP is to send in support and the unit is out of warranty.

  The main thing I am looking for is the BIOS file so that I can reinstall the BIOS to see if it's actually the question before having to spend money to get this repaired laptop.

  I searched a lot and have been unable to find any BIOS file for this exact model, so if anyone has any ideas as to where I could find it, or should I try, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Model: HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC

  Product ID: C6N73UA #ABA

  BIOS Date: 03/10/2013

  BIOS version: F.29

  Thank you!

  Install fresh new windows, removing all partitions, and you will have 0 problems.

• Envy 17 - j020us Windows 7 drivers missing

• DV7-6c95dx: WINDOWS 10 - RECOVER W7

  HAVE A 6C95DX DV7 WITH WINDOWS 10 ON IT (HAS BEEN UPDATED 10 B4 I GOT IT)-IN THE PAST I HAD ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME MODEL WITH UBINTU MACHINE ON IT AND USED MY SET OF RECOVERY DISKS FOR THE 6C95DX TO RETRIEVE THE W7 AND THE UBINTU DISAPPEARED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE - RETURN TO THE ONE WITH W10 - IN THIS MACHINE THE 95 C 6 DISC WILL NOT START UP ON ITS OWN, SO THE CUSTOM OF RECOVERY W7 CHARGES FLY AND W10 - IF I GET STARTED USED WIPE THE HARD DRIVE AND INSTALLED W7 (SUPPLIED WITH W7 STICKER ON THE BACK)

  -UPDATE - RESETS THE SETTINGS READ AUTO, THE MOVIE PLAYS WHEN THE DISK IS PUT IN DRIVE (POWER DVD15) USING

  STOP POWER - SET DISC 1 - 6C95DX, TURN ON - NOTHING DON'T SE GOING - WHAT SETTING FOR AUTOPLAY FOR THE RECOVERY DISK?

  LR7575

  Looks like that the PC is not set to boot from the optical drive, first.  You must press ESC repeatedly while booting to see if that brings up a menu of selection of Boot, and if so, who select the optical drive.

  And Yes, the game of recovery media will reformat the hard disk, recreate the original partitions, and reinstall the operating system, drivers and applications HP.

  Good luck

• Why the default format window opens in the new documents open in Pages 5.6.1?

  Someone else asked this before, but it is with an older version of Pages, and it's a few years, so I thought I'd make a new discussion.

  Everytime I open a new document in Pages (version 5.6.1 on OS 10.11.2, on a 13 "Macbook Pro of 2009), the formatting window is open. It's ugly and I do not want to use immediately. What is the default? Like other posters, I tried to create a model that does not do that, but even at the opening with the model, it opens but each time. As in the other poster said: this is not a terrible amount of work, but it is very annoying to do all the time. This has happened for years. A word about the recent patches?

  Not and unlikely he's going to change.

• Pavilion dv7. Windows can't verify the Publisher of this driver. system restore

  Pavilion dv7.  Windows Vista Home Edition

  The error message that desplays after the system recovery process, it is "Windows cannot verify the Publisher of this driver software".

  I tried clicking on the button 'Install anyway', at this point, more than 5 times.  The process does not move forward and I feel frustrated and turned off my computer.

  I started but that you have not completed the process of system restore, so there is nothing usable on my computer in terms of operating system.

  What should I do?

  Thank you.  By showing the work you've done to a representative at the Geek Squad, I was able to buy and install a new hard drive for my laptop.

  I then used the recovery disks that were created shortly after that the laptop was purchased in 2009.  Windows Vista is now on my computer.
