HDMI + VGA issue / / HP DV7-4000 series.

Dear friends,

I have a question about usig external monitor with my HP DV7.  The model # is DV7 - 4287cl

I have a HDMI port and a VGA port on this model. I intend to use an external monitor with it, but I wonder if it is not possible to use two external monitors with it since I have two separate ports?

It's maybe a stupid question but I have a specific need to use an external monitor with my laptop, and have two rather than one would not be a bad option.

Thank you, in advance.

You can use an external monitor. The hdmi port will provide a much clearer sharper picture, but it's or the vga port will be acceptable. Two outputs is the limit of the video card, and one of those is always built in the computer screen.

  • Maximum RAM for notebook DV7-4000 series?

    I have a laptop ' HP Pavilion dv7-4000 Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC ' 4 years ago (2010), model WA357AV.  Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit with Intel core i5 M450 @ 2.4 GHz and 6 GB of Ram.

    What is the maximum size of RAM so I wanted to update?  I can go up to 16 GB with 2 8 GB cards? It is important that the current memory cards are "unbalanced" because I have a 4 GB card and a 2GB card when I always read both should be the same for the 'best performance '.  If "unbalanced" is OK, I might consider replacing just the 2 GB card with 8 GB, send me some 8 + 4 = 12 GB which would be obviously cheaper.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello:

    Max ram with the processor of your model is 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).

    It's well run 4 GB + 2 GB but the memory does not work in DDR mode achieve higher.

    Replace the 2 GB chip with a 4 GB chip.

    That's the best you can do.

  • Dv7-4000 series eSATA Question

    Hello friends,

    I have a HP DV7 - 4287cl (Plug here) and you have a question about the eSATA/USB port.  I was unable to find the answers to these questions on my own so I hope that someone here could enlighten us on this issue.

    (a) what is the speed of the eSATA connection? (ie. 1.5, 3, 6 GB/s?)

    (b) I understand there is a difference between e-SATA and e-SATAP - is this port "electric"?

    (c) recommendations on you readers / anyone have used?

    Thank you, in advance.

    (b) I understand there is a difference between e-SATA and e-SATAP - is this port "electric"? It is powered and can power a device such as an SSD or 2.5 "HARD disk

    (c) recommendations on you readers / anyone have used? Is not this issue a bit out of left field?

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

  • LaserJet 4000 TN: The printer HP Laserjet 4000 Series PCL5: error state & quot; message & quot;

    I sent the following message to Microsoft after a ' update:

    I have a printer HP Laserjet 4000 Series PCL5 TN which worked beautifully "black only" for many years. A recent update (Windows 10:12 / 22/15) seemed to put the printer in the "printer error state", when you try to print a simple document. It has been my default printer for a long time. I followed the suggestions of printer "windows 10", that is, unplug and plug - check cable (not USB) connections, remove the printer from the list of print devices /, reinstall drivers HP for Windows 10 (following suggestions from HP on HP site) - nothing seems to work. It has a network cable connection, but it is directly connected to my computer, no other computers are connected. See screen capture below. I even did a "recovery" of before 12/22! Any suggestions? Thank you. GM

    I received instructions from Microsoft:

    You run the printer Troubleshooter and identify the cause?

    If this isn't the case, we will do that by visiting the link below and see if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/fix-printer-problems

    Check also the update (KB number) has recently been installed on your computer.

    You can also restore printer drivers and check.

    To restore the driver, you can follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R on the desktop screen.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
    • Expand the printer drivers and do a right-click on the driver and select Properties.
    • Go to the driver tab and click driver RollBack.

    Can I assume that you use a parallel cable to connect the printer to the computer.  If you do this is a known problem that can be solved.  Go to Device Manager and then click ports.  Double-click the lpt for the printer port, and then click on device settings at the top.  Change the default setting of the middle box checked in the box below to use any available interruption. I would also check the legacy down.  If necessary, turn the computer off and then turn it back on, but most of the time this solves the problem without a reboot.

  • HP dm1 4000 series keyboards

    Hi, I bought the HP dm1-4310nr U.S. netbook and are having a problem.

    As you know WE use different keyboard configuration that we have here in Europe.

    I was hoping to replace my pc keyboard by purchasing the Northern version of ebay.

    Only flaw is that it is not any version of this keyboard model says in the market if.

    Some other 4000-series keyboard is compatible with it?

    Hello

    There are many keyboards for dm1 machines, they are the same SIZE with yours, but as mentioned on my first answer: you have bought a very special, not available on other markets so same size but may not work. For the keyboard from another supplier, sorry I don't know.

    Good luck.

  • Problems with Dell USB - C (DA200) to the HDMI, VGA, RJ45, USB3 adapter

    Hi all

    I guess I'm a little desperate at 01:45 haha...

    I just got my XPS 13 9350 and it's great. I bought the USB - C DA200 adpater USB3, RJ45, VGA, HDMI. Unfortunately, I have some difficulty with the device. They are listed below:

    (1) plug, computer does not recognize the device. If I right click and uninstall in Device Manager and do a scan 'new material', it works again - but not for long.

    (2) the device and the Realtek gigabit portion to connect and reconnect every second in Device Manager and it's annoying.

    (3) disabling the wireless card/connection really seems to help the unit to connect and it works 100%. ONLY when the wireless adapter is disconnected.

    Basically, windows is to have a real time hard keep this adapter plugged... almost as if he can't recognize it. I tried to install the drivers for the card - nothing. I've updated all the firmware from Dell crush (including the chipset) and the BIOS... nothing. Same thing. If you do a search on google, there are a few discussions on this problem. There is a nice size on Reddit.

    Someone has an idea, what happens? It's a real shame that a beautifully designed and expensive adapter does not work with a Dell computer.

    Thank you, AJ

    In another thread ("XPS 13 9350 - SSD USB C 3.1 - very unstable/not usable '-I can not add links), the following fixed my XPS 13 9550 problem using a drive HARD USB 3.0 with the Dell USB - C for HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB3.1 adapter:

    ... the adapter USB - C and WiFi are kind of material and power wise. If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions. Exit at 75% reduction does not affect your connection on wireless networks.

    My HARD drive kept connect/disconnect when you use the adapter, but this correction took care of her.

  • New HP Pavilion DM1 4000 series max memory card

    Hello

    I am looking to buy a new ultraportable laptop and like the look of the new series DM1-4000. However, it seems that there are two versions available in the United Kingdom - the 4004SA DM1 and DM1-4027SA. The data sheet pdf, the noticeable difference only seems to be the maximum amount of memory installed (4 GB in the 4004, 6 GB in the 4027). I don't understand not why HP would impose this limit as both have 2 user accessible so-DIMM slots - my preference would be to upgrade the memory 8 GB by replacing both of the 2 GB so - DIMMS with 4 GB (after installing W7 64-bit rather than the stock windows W7 32 bit, it comes with).

    My question is this - is correct these limits of 4 GB or 6 GB or is it just a marketing thing?

    Interesting, the Maintenance and Service Guide (PDF) DM1-4000 series indicates the memory installable max is 8 GB.

    Thanks in advance. Any ideas much appreciated.

    Edit: Also noted there is a model 4020SA and 4020EA... both specify also 4 GB memory Max.

    There is not much sense, it?

    The maintenance manual makes it clear that portable computers running AMD processor have 2 slots of memory each hold 4 GB of memory.  See Chapter 1, page 2.

    Now, the Intel PC base seems to indicate that they cannot contain only 4 GB maximum memory - affordable housing from a single client.

  • Can I use both HDMI & VGA ports on a VAIO laptop?

    HDMI & VGA ports are very close together on the VAIO Laptops.  This design is deliberate to prevent users from using two HDMI & VGA ports simultaneously. I'm trying to connect 2 external monitors to my VAIO.

    Apparently, this is not a unique situation. I found dozens of conversations forum describing this problem. For example:

    "Somebody found a narrow VGA connector? I have the same situation with one Sony laptop with a VGA and HDMI connector, just computer next to each other. I want to connect 2 monitors, but since they are so close, it's one or the other. The graphics card supports two monitors, so don't know why Sony would make it impossible to connect the 2 at the same time. "Posted by LDGrant on Windows Secrets Lounge web site.

    Hi odbad1,

    Unless you have a desktop Sony (not all in one), then Yes you can replace the video card.  But if you have Sony laptop, you CANNOT swap out.  Sony laptops have an integrated video card / onboard.  To change the video card is to replace the motherboard (and no, can not exchange for an another one-motherboard motherboard are constructed for this particular unit and plug).
