HP 15n234sl: Notebook without a door to replace HD

Hi all!

I hope someone can help me! I would like to change the HD of my laptop, but I have a problem: my pc doesen't have a door of 'easy' to access (in spite of the RAM). So, how can I do? I have not found a tutorial on the web or any information about it. It seems that it must be disassembled to reach and replace the HD. Any ideas?

Thank you all,.

Francesco

Replacement hard drive you need to remove the top cover.

This video series covers exactly your model but very, very similar:

http://support.HP.com/NZ-en/document/c04324972

This compromise security. But if you do it without damaging the computer HP laptop will still honor the warranty. Maybe best to get advice from a technician, but if you are brave and have a steady hand and follow instructions that it is possible for the end-user to do. Follow the screws carefully and take your time.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: Windows Media Player replacement

    I currently use Windows Media Player to play CDs, DVDs, BlueRay discs and for monitoring emissions of air with my unencrypted, i.e. without a cable box, to view TV shows, because I have a TV card installed by HP, and a digital antenna I bought at HP at the time wherever I bought my 5 year old laptop, which came with Windows 7.  This laptop also contains the HP MediaSmart software where I can also do similar things.

    I understand that if I switch to Windows 10, Windows Media Player will be uninstalled and I can no longer use Windows Media Player.  My HP MediaSmart software will still work in Windows 10?  I spent more than $3,000 for this laptop to be completely loaded.  I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 if I use is more CD, DVD, Blue Ray disc, Aboriginal, TV etc...  I also bought this laptop so that I can also burn discs, this function will always be available.  If this is the case, what other players and burners are here for Windows 10?

    If there is no players free alternatives and burners or Windows 10 will not do what I paid to my original purchase with Windows 7, so there's no reason to switch to Windows 10.  This has been one of my main reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10.

    Please be aware that Windows Media Center will work no. LONGER on Windows 10.  Microsoft no longer supports Windows Media Center on Windows 10 then you won't be able to run it and record live shows and others.  Currently, Microsoft has not any replacement software to Windows Media Center so please keep this in mind when you are considering upgrading to Windows 10.

    If you like using Windows Media Center, the idea here is to not upgrade to Windows 10.

    As long as the power cord is in the laptop is working fine but remember failure and the phone goes dead. A spare battery can be found on eBay just to use your HP part number and find a match to use. If that fails, they have guaranteed replacement here to remedy. Battery is best kept with the laptop plugged for the reason that it has been done. You will unplug it to consider somewhere and if it is not a battery and it is on it will be able to instantly. Is that reason laptop is a laptop for a reason.

  • Re: Replacing disk for Satellite C855-13D

    Hi all

    The HD in the laptop of my wife made some rattling noise informing us that an inminet accident.
    The drive is a Hitachi SK750-640, HTS54756A9E384, CP/N H2T640854S.
    She is a bigger HD, about 1-2 t or not.
    I saw several models of Toshiba, but they require 5VDC 1.0 Amp or Amp while the Hitachi 1.1 required only 5 VDC @ 700 my.

    My concern is whether the motherboard could or could not handle the increased power consumption.
    If anyone have replaced the original HD by more, I'll be happy to hear his opinion.

    Thank you

    Hi Luis

    I don't have this model of laptop, but I just want to write my opinion on Exchange of HARD drive.
    As I can see disk Exchange HARD on this model of laptop doesn't have to be complicated.
    All you need to do is to eliminate large ramdisk HARD cover and you will have full access to the old HDD.

    In the past, I traded several HDD on my notebooks without any problem. Different different manufacturers of HARD drive on mobile platforms. I think that 1 TB HARD drive would be OK to upgrade.

    I don't know what is important to your wife, but maybe you should think about the SSD upgrade. This could increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly.

  • M60 Shutdown without user action

    Hello
    I use a Satellite M60 laptop with Win XP and I bought this laptop on 11/15/2005.

    I use hypotheek virus protection software and some anti-sypware tools.

    But from the beginning to use notebook without user action.

    I can't solve the problem because the parameters for the laptop are "Office" and never "stop" for the hard drive and monitor in the energyoptions.
    'Standby' is set to 'never' too.

    I thought, that Toshiba tools are the problem and so I uninstall them, but this does not solve the problem.

    Who have had the same problem and solved it?

    Thanks a lot for all the replies.

    Wolfgang

    Hello

    Well, one of the reasons why the phone stops without any action of the user is an overheating problem. If the temperature drops to a critical limit inside the laptop for the operating system to stop the unit and protect it.
    Well, it's not easy to say why it happens. Maybe don t cooling modules work correctly.
    I see that your laptop is under warranty and all replacements and repair procedures will be done free of charge. In this case, I propose to contact the ASP (Toshiba service partner). He can do a diagnosis test and replace certain parts if it of necessary.

    But first I would recommend to recover the device with the recovery CD to test if she s a software or hardware problem.

    Good bye

  • Difficulty to remove the door of Pavilion g6-1d11dx laptop

    I saw the online service manual, and it says to remove the battery, loosen the two captive screws that fix the door to the computer. I did it. Then I'm supposed to be able to remove the service door. It's not going to.  Then I watched a video for a newer model, and he says to slide the battery release while removing the service door. I did it, push the release of the battery more than all the way, but the back door still won't come out.

    Here is the service manual for your laptop: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03094202.pdf

    Is there some kind of trick to go out this door?

    Moreover, the screws, but they don't come out. I guess that's why they are called "live captive."

    The reason why I need to open the door: to replace the memory. There may have been a problem of overheating that caused memory to go bad, I'm guessing, but not sure about that. Which would affect opening the back door? I guess overheating, because when I do the memory diagnostic when the computer first starts, it goes. But if I do 10 or 15 minutes later, she fails.

    Hello:

    It is simply difficult to lift the door.

  • Help w / lost notebooks (Win7, Palm Desktop 6.22) using WIndows player

    Hello

    Just to start with a new company (I copied my files Palm OS Desktop of old computer system) and after installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by Access.  I copied on my copy of Palm OS Desktop File System info) and I could see my addresses however, my memo were there intermittently.  However sometimes I can launch Palm Desktop and my memos are present and othertimes they lack UGH.

    I copied my files and still nothing.  I reinstalled Palm Desktop and now the memos are still missing.

    I don't have the installation path for the instance of WIndows 7 is c:\pgm files x86\Palm and also noted information has been written for C:\users\me\OneDrive\MyDesktop\Palm OS Desktop

    File names and sizes are:

    Memopad.dat = 2836 KB

    notebook (without extension but watch to be associated w / MS Access) = 100KB

    Memopad.mdb.bak = 100 KB

    Memopad.mdb = 100 KB

    Uiprefs.dat = 1 KB

    After discovering the OneDrive info, I thought I could have the system shutdown event a replication and corrupt it however, I played a bit to rename the memopad.dat to .old and still nothing seems to me my pads.   I copied my files Palm OS Desktop system in the Office of OS C:\users\me\OneDrive\MyDesktop\Palm to see if that would help and it did not.

    I have data in Notepad format mid-90... really need my data!

    Is there another tool that I can use to open these categories memopad and pads?

    Really need help,

    The installation directory is strange - I agree that could be the source of the problem.

    On the laptop ready Win8.1, I have the HP (for my participation in the Forums), the directory is:

    C:\Users\ < I > \Documents\PalmOS Desktop

    I backup the user data, uninstall Palm Desktop, and then reinstall and pay attention to where she has choices.

    A clean uninstallation may be necessary:

    These instructions are for Vista, but should work for Win7.

    You first need to you a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by clicking on start-> Documents-> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.

    If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this stage, go to the next step.

    Now, you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do with Palm Desktop on your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. [C:\Program Files\Palm or C:\Users\[Vista Palm connection name] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name] \appdata * note you may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do than to go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to tab and uncheck hide hidden files.

    When you use Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the folder Office of PalmOS. It is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.

    Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.

    Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC to start, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel that you are not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.

    Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.

    Point peak COMPUTER, go to file-> Export. Should appear with a save as box. Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

    The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.

    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys will not be here, but if they remove them)

    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * Robotics\Pilot Desktop HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm

    Then, restart your computer.

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop and do a hotsync. If request you a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

  • Pavilion Notebook 15-ab243cl: transfer from old computer to new computer programs

    We just bought a new HP Pavilion Notebook, with 10 windows, to replace its old HP Pavilion dv4-2153, which has been upgraded to Windows 10.  Now we have a problem - how to move programs and files to the new.

    I found two products on the market that claim to be able to do this, but critics of both of them include some less then incounaging stories.  I hope that HP has developed some good software to do this, especially between their own products, or at least can recommend a reliable software.  They must be proud when a customer likes their products well enough to replace genre by genre.

    Any help here?

    Thank you

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your message want to migrate applications from one PC to another and wanted to help.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but HP doesn't no matter what app migration software (that I know).

    However, LapLink does – in its range of PC Mover of products.  The one who moves in the apps is the Pro version.

    I know it works because I used it myself.

    The new version, Win10, has an additional feature that you can migrate applications from an Image file.

    Which means, you can make a backup of the complete picture of your old PC (and to do this, I recommend Macrium Reflect - further) a key USB or external hard drive, which will allow the new PC, install PC Mover there - and restore apps directly from the backup image.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key

    You have NOW a backup of the image of the old PC - and all of the information required by PC Mover to migrate applications to the new PC.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • Notepad KB - cant it be removed without affecting the operating system

    original title: Notepad KB?

    I have 2 drives on my netbook.   Drive C maintains by becoming short space, drive D seems unaffected.   It seems that windows updates can be the cause of drive C to become clogged by placing the notebook in the windows folder, these notebooks are labeled with KB numbers are complete gibberish to me.    I can't remove programs out of drive C because it is the operating system.

    If I can remove these notebooks without affecting the operating system, there seems to be a lot of bytes and kilobytes being exhausted with these notebooks.

    If they have a .log file extension, you can remove them. The small amount of bytes and kilobytes don't take up that much space.
