HP dv7t CTO Notebook BIOS

I have a laptop of HP dv7t with a Crucial SSD installed.

Crucial has published an update of firmware for this SSD.  Installation via the CD requires that the user enter the computer BIOS settings and change the setting of

SATA to IDE

I can't get into the BIOS on my laptop, but I can't find any reference to the SATA or IDE anywhere.

Am I missing something?

Hello:

You are not missing anything.

You cannot change the setting from ACHI to IDE BIOS.

The default value is ACHI and it can be changed to anything else.

Normally the only HP notebooks that allow this setting to change are professional laptops.

  • HP ENVY 15 t-q100 CTO Notebook: Bios Update to the latest version

    I have BIOS version f.22 Rev.A already installed on my laptop. However, I was wondering if I can install the latest version provided by hp which is f. 63 Rev.A on my laptop. The supported version in the drivers and downloads for my product is f.22 but I wanted to know if I can install the new bios on my laptop.

    Here is the link for the bios I'm talking about: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_169818_1#tab-history

    Hello @parth017

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

    I would like to ask you why you want to update the BIOS?

    Personally, I don't recommend do you it unless you're having problems with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

    General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but can introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

    It goes the same for Windows updates, OS update, drivers, etc - update/update updates IF you have any questions, you know are fixed in the new version or for some serious security problems. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  • HP dv7t CTO Corei7, Win7... this laptop can run on SSD TRIM

    I have a new HP dv7t CTO Notebook, Core-i7, Win7 64 bit, 128 GB Crucial SSD SATA III.  I also have a different, smaller, installed SSD in the 2nd Bay to store data.

    I tried to activate the TRIM for the SSD 128 GB without success.

    The Crucial SSD M4 disc provides a native TRIM support and TRIM is enabled by default in Windows 7. To enable and to verify if its active steps, there is no way.

  • Quad Edition CTO Notebook HP ENVY 15 t-j100 fan noise

    I recently bought a HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad CTO Notebook Windows 7 Professional Edition (PC product #: E1P05AV) and I noticed that when the laptop is under any kind of load, the fan can be incredibly strong. There is no abnormal noise, but the volume itself can be irritating. Basically, it looks like a dryer located on the top. I was wondering if it was just a normal phenomenon or if there was something more to him. I have the latest version of the downloaded bios, and there should not be any dust or dirt in the book since I just got. If someone could shed some light on this, I would gratefully.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting the forum!

    I understand that whenever there is any kind of load your system fan noise, it's usually an overheating problem that I suspect.
    I really recommend that you quickly go through the following documents & try to do at home and hopefully solve the problem.

    Hello

    My best advice would be to get the machine replaced - the only thing that you can try everything first (if you haven't done so already) is to apply the latest update of the Bios on the following link.  This update is running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.

  • G62t-350 CTO Notebook PC: broken G62t - 350 CTO Notebook PC cooling fan

    I have a 6 yr old G62t - 350 CTO Notebook PC and I am a VERY OLD non-techie. It overheats and goes dormant. I know that the fan is shot because I get an error message saying so. I currently use a "chill mat" to keep this baby running, but I would like to know how to take out and its difficulty. Also, you may need to buy a new fan (?) and, of course, HP (and even Best Buy) say 'we have NO PARTS. " Would be really grateful for the help; older people don't throw away their 'stuff' keep us running forever... If possible. Thank YOU, TimothyT,

    A computer is fundamentally different from a model "T". They get obsolete and unusable, so that you can always push a model "T" around town if you can make it work. On a laptop six year, to go on the market of third party to find the parts, but they are available. Best Buy has no idea and no room. They send all repairs laptop for a place in TX and earn money as an intermediary for such things.

    First thing you need is the repair:

    Manual

    "How-to" for the replacement of the fan is on p. 4-41 to 4-46. This will be a virtual "gut" of the laptop he stripping up to the motherboard and remove the motherboard. It can be done by an amateur who is able to read and follow directions and has a logical mind and memory to keep track of screws and where they are released, so they can be released. The drop-down strip isn't easy, but the real test is winding.

    This is the part you need:

    GL40 UMA systems (for models 1.1 and 1.2 only) 606573-001

    How will I know? Your CPU is a Pentium Dual, which means that it works on the motherboard chipset low-end and it has "integrated" or "UMA" video However, I am fallible, and the intelligent way to go about the repair is to open and remove first and then buy the spare part based on what you already have. Saving a lot of feedback.

    Assuming I'm located on the part you need here is:

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/HP-Pavilion-G72-227WM-Intel-cooling-fan-heatsink-606573-001-B2-Z3-i3-/152206728276?hash=item23703a5c54:g:380AAOSw0UdXsfLg

    You want to use this opportunity to eliminate there all the dust and when you go back you need to use good thermal paste applied correctly. We can find you a video well, no doubt.

    2 as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation of windows 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO: can I install an mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC?

    Can I install an mSATA ssd in my PC HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook? Added a SDS SATA 250 GB and 8 GB memory chip today but don't can find any way to add also a 250 GB mSATA SDS. I looked on the side in front and back of the system board.

    I would return the mSATA EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I bought from Newegg?

    The repair is no help whatsoever. It is said a WSSD m2 is supported 'model', but there is no picture of it in the manual or the indication when it is on the models 'select '. Those who have it use a version of m2 (connector three blades 2 not) so your Evo 840 would not work even if you had one of the models 'select '. I think that on those who have it that the port m2 is located on the motherboard so if you don't see it you are not among the selection.

  • HP X4000b Bluetooth mouse with HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook

    I bought a XP X4000b Bluetooth mouse as a gift for a friend to use with their HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 t-J100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook with Windows 8.1 update 1.  She has developed a very strong aversion to the use of the touchpad of the notebook and has often been expressed that she preferred to use a mouse instead of the touchpad.  Especially for copy and move files between different folders.

    My questions are:

    1 hardware/software of the Touchpad should be disabled or uninstalled before the mouse Bluetooth software and hardware is introduced in order to prevent any conflict?

    2. other than the need to activate Bluetooth support, are there other settings of control panel which will have to be modified in order to use the Bluetooth mouse?

    Thank you.

    lkmcmillen,

    I regret that the document was not useful for you.

    For the Touchpad is disabled, in general you can use both the keyboard and the wireless mouse at the same time. Some computers have a disable command set by default when you add a wireless mouse. It is an option found in Control Panel > devices and printers > mouse that can be enabled or disabled depending on whether you want to use the mouse or not.

    Here is a video on how to for Activate the TouchPad on and off easily according to your preferences when you use a wireless mouse.

    I am including the HP X4000b Bluetooth Pairing User Guide, which explains how to pair your mouse with the computer according to the operating system. What I see in the guide, there are no other settings to change otherwise than to turn on Bluetooth and add the device.

    I hope that is the information that you have when you are looking for.

    Best of luck and have a great day!
