HP dv6-3150us has a PCI express slot?

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02497785

I want to add an external graphics card and it is possible olnly via PCI Express slot or a slot express card, and this model does not have an express card slot.

I also discovered the mantanence and service guidehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us & lc = in & product = 4308465 this type of models support bluetooth module, since my laptop doesn't have a bluetooth, is it possible that the PCI Express slot for the bluetooth module is empty.

And I would like to know if it is possible for me to add an external graphics card or I need to change the graphc card that comes with this laptop?

There is no way to change or supplement the graphics system. I've seen the videos floating around devices of Frankenstein connected to the card slot wireless with the back cover open and then a powered external Bay with a standard desktop video card. Trying to put something like that will almost surely fry the motherboard, or at best will not perform very well. The mini pci-e slot for the wireless card is a 1 x pci-e bandwidth and video cards require 8 x bandwidth. So if you want to access a pci-e slot, you will need to remove the wireless card. Bluetooth on this model is made by a card in combination with the wireless.

Your laptop doesn't have an expresscard slot, as you acknowledge. They are available only on business models high end of our days, and the same limitations apply to have an external videocard connected through an expresscard slot.

You can change the motherboard of your laptop. You have a version with the Intel HD graphics only, and I'm sure that other versions of the series dv6-3000 used best graphics systems. You seek to a significant investment in time and money for it. Post back, however, if you want to just give it a shot and we can track down numbers of specific parts and manuals of instructions or videos for you.

  • The attention! Error initializing PCI express slot 4 (for a PCIe used in the PXI-1033 chassis)

    Hello

    I have problems with my PXI system. When I try to contact the 1033 chassis using his high card my computer does not recognize (the PC displays the message during the start-up stage: "alert!) Error Initializing PCI express Slot 4). It was working fine before, but the chassis has been disconected with the PC on. I read that it may cause failures of communication, but I have not found a good source for this problem. Could someone help me with this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Victor

    Hi Victor,

    Can you check something for me? One, can you try to disconnect the cable between the PXI and PCIe cards and try to restart your machine. When you do this, you still see the message? I know that you mentioned in your first point that the chassis is turned on when you see the error message, so I'm just trying to clarify what you mean by that.

    Also, it is quite easy to plug in a cable express MXI upside down, so even if point 2 you said that the links appear to be good I had to check to make sure that the cable is properly connected. You have additional cables, you can test?

  • Pavilion p6340f: version PCI Express Slot p6340f

    Hi all!  I'm upgrading graphic on the hp p6340f computer and need to know the version of the PCI-Express slot for the card that I get functions correctly.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    By checking several motherboards using the Intel G43 Express chipset (same as the one in question), they are all are rated 16 PCI-E 2.0.  The standard 3.0 is more recent than the date of reference of the manufacturer of your PC.  Some PCI-E 3.0 might be OK in this motherboard but make sure that they are backward compatible.

  • Question of PCI express slot!

    I have a HP Pavilion P7-1203 with the motherboard IPISB-CU (Carmel2) and everything he says, it is a PCI express x 16 slot, can this motherboard suppost a PCIe 3.0 graphics card?

    Thanks I've read on tomshardware maps 3.0 graphics are compatible 2.0 but you won't get the full potential unless you have a processor of Ivy bridge

  • Error initializing pci express slot machine


    Hello

    Can you make sure that you first power of the PXI chassis, then wait a few seconds, and then turn on the PC.

    This error can occur if the PXI chassis is not fed first.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/05B7131814A5DDA38625710F006BB098?OpenDocument

    If it doesn't, it would be useful to update the BIOS.

    You can also try it on another PC to make sure that the problem is not related to the PC.

  • Can I replace my graphic chipset with an integrated PCI Express graphics card?

    I am looking to update my graphics card. I did some research and learned that my motherboard is a N-Alvorix-RS880-Μatx (Yes, it has a PCI Express slot) and my current graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4200 (Chipset). Product information on my computer on the HP site said that "integrated into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they are not usable at the same time. "I don't know exactly what this means.

    Is it possible for me to get a new graphics card and use it on my computer? If so, what would I do with the current chipset graphic card? Or am I condemned to have to use my current lame graphics forever card?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Hi Scott,.

    Please send the product code of HP to the exact address for your PC.

    When a video card is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot, the bios will recognize this situation and will subsequently disable the motherboard integrated video processor.  It's one or the other but not both.

    Yes, you can put a discrete video card in your PC, but we need to know more information about your PC such as the size of the power supply etc.

  • The NB305 has a mini PCI-E slot?

    Hello
    I have a NB305 (PLL3AA-01E009), I have purchased from HN about 3 months ago.

    I just read with interest on Whirlpool where a guy pulled apart his Aircard 880U and adapted from the mini pci-e card in his laptop computer "Dell".

    As my NB305 has a light for WWAN (at the front), but no hardware, I wonder if she has the pci - e slot, where I too may be able to adapt this card?

    I checked the specifications and is no pci-e slot - but the light on the front gives me hope!

    See you soon,.
    Rick

    The light in the front doesn't say much. Loan of equipment (slot, antenna) and compatibility is important.
    If I understand you well this guy that write you about has probably changed his address. What you want to change on your laptop?

    If you want to use the AirCard 880U USB version of this card check card.

  • Slot PCI Express HP p7-1203 question!

    I just bought a HP p7-1203 today and I want to update the th graphics card and the specs say that it is a PCI Express x 16 (gen2.0) slot that means it's just a regular PCI Express slot or a PCI Express 2.0 slot? Probably a stupid question.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c02980014

    This means that it is a second generation x 16 PCI-Express slot... so Gen2.0 it conforms to the PCI-E 2.0 standard.

  • Lenovo Mini PCI-E Slot P500 locations?

    Hello

    Happy holidays ~! Hope everyone is having a great time.

    I need help to determine if the Z500/P500 manual material actually told the truth or not.
    According to page 27 of the manual of the equipment to the Z500/P500 Ideapad, there are 2 Mini PCI-Express slots:

    "PCI Express Mini Card Slot: Slot 2.

    That means actually? To me, it sounds like there are 2 mini PCI-Express slots somewhere on the motherboard, but when I opened it upward, I only found one, and it was taken over by the Wi - Fi card. I looked under the slot where the Wi - Fi card has been, but I couldn't find another location.

    Can someone tell me where is the second Mini PCI-Express slot? I looked carefully through the motherboard, but I couldn't find the other - I hope it was just because I haven't looked hard enough.

    Assistance specialists have an answer?

    Thank you very much for your time and once again, happy holidays!

    Hi Zoey

    It is confirmed that the computer that you have only 1 location but this machine could be found also with two slots as the Z500

    Thank you

  • PCI-Express?

    I looked on several review sites on my IBM Thinkcentre M52 9210 (the compact one, NOT the tour) and he says he has ONE PCI-EXPRESS X 16 expansion slot. I printed a picture of the PCI-E x 16 slot and compared it with that of my mahcine. It says it also has a PCI slot and I can see it, and below must be PCI - E, the black one.

    But when I look closely it doesn't even look close to the image I had printed a. It is around 90 mm (more or less a few mm) and instead of having two separate ' gaps "(comme on pourrait identifier leur PCI-E x16), my had 5"deviations"in them.". " I plan to upgrade my computer and install a dedicated video card to replace my old Intel GMA 950 integrated chipset and I really need to know if it is PCI-E or another type of slot machine.

    Thank you.

    Take a look at this image:

    http://i.Dell.com/images/global/learnmore/pcie_connector.jpg

    You can tell from this image, the x 16 PCI-E has two what is called the 'gaps', a smaller on the right, a bigger to the left. What intrigues me is that the mine has five gaps, instead of two. I looked up my machine on the lenovo site, and it does not say it has a PCI-E slot, but just, he doesn't look like a PCI-E x 16. I really need someone to confirm this because if it is not PCI-E x 16 I have to get a PCI graphics card...

    Poweraml,

    According to our product specifications, the ThinkCentre M52 9210 machine type has 2 expansion on a PCI riser slots:

    • Slot 1 is a half-length, x 1 PCI Express slot intended to be used with our connection card PCI-E DVI - D (part number 73 P 2516). To do this, not supported x 16 PCI Express adapters.
    • Slot 2 is a half-length, version 2.2, the PCI slot.

    These specifications are available at:

    I hope this helps.

  • PCI Express x 16 does not?

    I have a HP Pavilion a1730 (Vista OS) and a few weeks ago, the screen went black (no received no signal) after turning on the PC. I tried / cable with my laptop screen and they work fine. the screen also works with the integrated graphics card and VGA on the back of the PC. I replaced the graphics card I had installed twice there are three-four years in the PCI Express slot and in both cases, the problem persisted. The manufacturer technical support card grapics said that most likely the slot PCI Express has gone wrong. Indeed, when I removed the 3-4 years-old graphics card, I had to pull hard because he had "stuck" in the slot. However there is no visible damage. Material detector does not see the replacement of the graphics card, the driver seems to be properly installed. The replacement of the card properly set match for Watt and amperage.

    Should I bring the PC to a service center and if so, where in Essex county NJ? I couldn't find a list of service centers in the HP website.

    Since the post it seems that the onboard graphics is still working OK.  It could be that the PCI slot has failed if a replacement of the graphics card does not resolve the problem.  In this case, I would do it from the options.  If she is taken to a repair facility, the cost of repairs would easily exceed the value of a computer this old (over 5 years).  Just my opinion, but use it with onboard graphics until more fails.

  • OptiPlex 3010 - PCI-e slots to prevent sleep?

    I have an Optiplex with Win7 pro OS 3010.

    I have a (RC-305th) Rosewill 4 port RS232 Serial Card occupy one of the card PCI-Express slots on the motherboard.  The serial ports work fine except when the system is idle.

    Everything works, application, leaving the serial device connected to the card.  When I come back a few hours later, as long as the next day, the application using the serial RS232 port has stopped working.  He reads is no longer the serial device.  Swtpping the application, then by restarting has sometimes everything works again.  Other times I have to restart the PC.

    I went the power settings and have done everything to NOT go to sleep.  It is my understanding that the PCI-Express request mode specification 'sleep' when idle.  What I want to do is to disable this option completely.

    All ideas and thanks for the help.

    I knew a lot of trouble when the maps in the series contain the MOSCHIP on DELL OptiPlex 3020 chipset.   I think you'll find that Rosewill RC-305th contains this chipset.  I bought two cards series both with the same CHIPSET (STARTECH VANTECH), the two MOSCHIP chipset.  Serial devices had been set up for weight scale Truck Stop (9406 Fairbanks series) in a Serial Communication continuous with continuous data flow.

    Requirements for my Serial Communication:
    Scale software installed on DELL OPTIPLEX passively listen to the COMM PORT communication as long as the COMM Port is opened by the software.  The scale of Fairbanks send data via an interface series in a constant loop.  What I find is the MOS chipset is idling somehow over time.   If I close and open the PORT Serial Communication will continue to listen passively to the stream.

    I had the following problem with the map:

    -Card series would have slowed after a period of TIME (5-15 minutes).   Initially the problem was related to PCIe power saving features, but I'm sure that issues are assigned to the MOSCHIP so.  In general, I have to CLOSE and REOPEN the port for the serial card process the incoming data stream

    -After a period of time (a few days) the map would pass the bone, (not available in the device Mgr).  Attempts to remove the CHUCK, restart, reinstall the driver did not find the MOSCHIP series card.   To get the card works to new necessary physically reinstalling the card in a different SLOT PCIe for the operating system to recognize the serial card

    Requirements for successful communication:

    -Turn off all Power Saving settings in BIOS
    -Disable all CommPorts onboard in the BIOS
    -Disable all Options Windows power functions, specifically:
    -State of the PCIe Power Management links - OFF
    -Selective suspension USB setting - DISABLE "this should not be necessary w / PCIe.

    CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:  Buy a card series PLX/OXFORD OXPCIe952 chipset.  For my DELL 3020, 7020, 9020 Optiplex machines) I have been using the STARTECH PEX1S1P952 (containing the PLX/Oxford - OXPCIe952 chipset) like this work for my needs.

    My hope are some my find this useful.

    Hello:

    It should work fine in your PCIe slot.

    I guess your 250W PSU be OK with the recommended by 300W P/S card.

    If it has HDMI output you must go into your BIOS after installing the card and change your on-board audio settings auto on "Enabled" as the card will more than likely turn off your car, then video don't be not alarmed.

    In addition, uninstall your current graphics integrated via the Device Manager. Right-click on it and select uninstall. If you have a box to check to uninstall the driver, make sure the box too.

    Instead of rebooting your PC, stop it and install your new card. Restart it, let it be discovered and then load the driver. Don't forget to move the monitor cable to the new card.

  • PCI vid card will work on MBs that have a PCI-E slot?

    I noticed that the PCI video cards will not work with a motherboard that has a PCI-e slot.  My ACER machine would use my GeForce FX 5200 (relented and bought a WG 220).  Now I have this HP Pavilion a1510n Media Center Edition 2005 that will not recognize an ATI Radeon x 1300.

    The PSU has more that required, Antec 380W Green (even a pcie 6pin).  I tried to change the main display in the BIOS to the PCI, but should not be.  Also tried to install the drivers, then change the BIOS setting, still will not take.

    I noticed that MBs with AGP are able to use PCI vid without the same question cards.

    Is it me?  Other people running into that?  I know its sad to not use the pcie slot, but I have to work with the hardware I have.

    Y at - it a trick to make the thing work?

    Found!

    Although I've been using a PCI video card, BIOS asked me to choose the PCI-E option from the list of video devices of the pcie, pci and onboard.

    The PCI option wouldn't work for the PCI in the vid!

    (HP Pavilion a1510n MCE2005-> ATI Radeon x 1300)

    Never thought to try that, but when I was watching the IRQ I saw that he was not part reserved for PCI-E.  It is the question of the nature of the PCI-E and so tried it because I was thinking about it.

    I hope this helps someone else.
