HP-envy-15-j118so: Does hp-envy-15-j118so (AMD processor) supports the SSD

Hello

I have a hp envy 15 j118so with AMD processor.

I'm planing to replace my SSD HDD HARD drive.

I was reading through the forums in orer to find a good way how to and I found the manual below

http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768.PDF

He mentions the manual it's

256 GB SSD (for models equipped with an Intel computer)

This means that my PC does not support SSD as I AMD Quad processor?

Thank you

Don't listen to this guy. It is a straight copy and paste and that's all. SSDS is supported by anything that uses the SATA interface.

    The best consumer SSD there is a Samsung 850 Evo. It will have the same physical dimensions as a hard drive. 2.5 inches wide and 7 mm thick. A 7mm form factor fits anywhere the will of 9.5 mm. The connectors and mounting holes are in the same places so that they are interchangeable.

    First of all it is a user to User Forum. We do not work for HP and HP are not responsible for what is said or not said. Now a version of English language of your maintenance manual is not accessible. Closest I can find is the one that covers models up to 099 and is probably correct:

    Manual

    The x 360 is not really meant to be open and updated by end users and when the laptop was sold to you no one said or implied that change hard drive for one SSD has been supported or allowed while keeping the warranty. You a Crucial SSD of MX200 with no information saying it was compatible and decided to install it.

    Access the hard drive appears on page 29. Yes, any computer that uses a SATA hard disk can use a 2.5 inch SSD SATA. Function properly, but if there is a model that has given the most compatibility problems is the MX Crucial series. Do not know why. Chances are that a different SSD will work very well. My favorite is the Samsung 850 Evo. OCZ made a good whole as PNY and SanDisk.

    This is how I think that the best information that you're going to get. Let us know if you have more specific questions.

  • HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

    I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

    I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

    Is this ok?

    I found some info, that:

    Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

    Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

    So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

    Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

    In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

    Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

    RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

    Thank you

    Hi all

    If the solution was done by a kind shop in Hungary, http://reballing.hu

    and a specialist in firmware http://vinafix.vn

    So apperently my BIOS has been corrupted that CAPS lock sign showed and it could have been rewritten with HP Diagnostics if HP could provide the RSA key for her...

    In this case it is not provided, you don't have that one other solution, to find a nice (as reballing.hu) repair shop, where the guys are nice enough to disassemble your computer, take the chip and write the data without the requirement of RSA software HP Diag using a writer BIOS correctly. You can also buy writers of the bios and the tools, but he could be uite costly and risky for you to do...

    So you have a repair guy, the only other thing that you might need to trust is the dump of the BIOS correct, please note that the supplied with the softpaqs .bin file is encrypted, so it must be decrypted, it is not an easy task, it worked for me too after awhile, but better to find a provider of bios (saves time for you as well and that is why HP is not willing to give it to you, you have two choices: make a work computer, and read the bios in this way (you must have the identical chip and content, so preferabily the same card mother or product)

    Or go to www.vinafix.vn and ask them to provide you with, these people are kind enough to explain how the thing works and what you need to write your own return data.

    So once that you set is not more than 30 minutes for a handy guy and as they work at the time, it is fairly cheap as well, it cost me 25 USD total (10 for bios) and 15 for the actual work done

    It's a shame that yu can not really find information about this threat, and also that it can happen to your computer at any time it seems that, always in waiting to see what caused, and if she came back or not... but as of now, I am pleased that the computer is back on!

  • ENVY 15 t-j000 quad edition cto: outputs audio switching does not work in windows 10 birthday when the headset is connected

    Hi guys.

    As you know in 10 anniversary update windows, you can switch between outputs sound when the headphone is plugged directly from the sound icon in the taskbar, but it does not work as it should. If the headset is unplugged then the sound comes from the speakers and they are plugged in when the noise is coming from the headset and I can't select speakers. It shows two devices, but when I select one of them the speakers are selected. Also I tried to playback devices, but still, I can't put the headset as default playback device. She is forced to be like the only communication device. I've updated the audio driver but nothing has not improved. My audio driver is codec IDT high-definition. In addition, I tried the generic driver from the sound of microsoft, which is called "codec high definition audio" and it shows a device like speaker and it doesn't detect any helmet or communication device. So, what's the problem? I am able to use this option of windows 10 birthday or not? If yes how? I need this option because I use a headset a lot and I don't want to plug them each time. Thank you for your attention. I can give additional information if it is needed and I'm hear to help.

    Hi David,

    If you remember, I had problem with the IDT driver after upgrade to windows 10 and other updates. I'll be back to tell you good news. Finally, I solved the problem partially and I'll explain what I did.

    Today, I found that there is some audio drivers in the microsoft catalog site, so I went out there and looked for a codec high definition audio. A list came and saw that there are three tempo IDT Audio driver that are compatible with windows 10. They are all IDT Audio driver version 6.10.6504.0 and they are made in 2015. I downloaded all the drivers of three and tested. The first two of them does not solve my problem but the last which is "Tempo driver update for codec IDT high-definition" made in 08/05/2015 with 13.1 MB did the job. I must mention that you need to install this driver on generic windows sound driver for good results. If you install hp IDT drivers probably do not get good results. After installing this driver now I am able to switch between outputs audio (headphones and loudspeakers). The driver can detect my headset exactly as what it is. He shows me an output until I plug in my headphones and it then adds another exit in the helmet. I put my headphones or internal speakers as default playback device which I couldn't do with other drivers. There are just two problems that does not matter much to me, and I can't ignore them. The first is the light of the button mute on the keyboard does not work with this driver which is not very important, and the second is that there is no Equalization of beats in this driver and instead there is an audio driver IDT, which is very similar to the equalizer, but it beats not affect only the internal speakers the headphones that is more important to me because the sound via the headphones is very clear and good. If there was some ablity to HP to change this driver and add audio beats and allow also the light on the button mute then it would be perfect. The link for this driver is here:

    Driver IDT tempo for windows 10 and put on subsequent day

    Just download the latest driver with 13.1 MB size and enjoy.

    Its a Samsung 850 500 GB M.2 3.5 inch SSD Form Factor 80nm.  Can I use in a configuration to double for my laptop with the current 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive already in the system?  Or do I have to use one or the other?  Or can I select a smaller SSD storage for a double configuration?  I have to talk to a technician and he said my system does not support a 128 GB ssd and it did not indicate if it is a double or a single disk configuration.  In my view, it is difficult to imaging a new desire to 2015 with an i7 Quad Core skylake 6700HQ processor supports only a meagre 128 GB SSD.  Any ideas on what my system can support?

    I can verify that it works very well. I had HP technology insist that I could use only one hard disk and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The technicians don't know squat. I use now a configuration double with the operating system and my programs on my 850 m2 sata evo III 500 GB SSD and my data (videos, music and photos) files on the preinstalled 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive.

  • Nine (3 days out of the Box) HP Envy 700-230qe automatically restarts after the initial boot...

    I have now a whole new desktop 700-230qe HP Envy (after about a month in the loop of the HP Technical Support).  But again, I have problems.  I took late delivery December 23, 2013.  After giving him enough time to become the temperature of the room, I opened the box and replaced my old HP Pavilion h8 - 1210t with envy again desktop computer.

    Took my time and made sure that everything is properly connected - then pushed the power button.  Everything seemed to work perfectly - until what the brand 20 minutes - when the system powered off and rebooted itself.  But for the rest of the session, everything went well - no problem.  It was Monday night.

    On Tuesday morning (December 24, 2013 - on Christmas Eve), I pushed the power button once again and the system started fine.  But 20 minutes later, it turned off and rebooted itself.  But for the rest of the day everything went well - even if I had to make several reboots all reinstall my applications and migrate my data.  I started to wonder if I still had problems.

    Christmas day (December 25, 2013) is the same thing.

    And once again on Thursday (December 26, 2013) - I finally called HP Technical Support.  I spoke with a gentleman (Terrence) - he accessed remotely my system which makes me nervous (but these guys of Nova Scotia are very good and are savvy customers.  He looked around - ran MalWareBytes and CCleaner - and said that he saw nothing thaat would be a problem.  We agreed to wait a day and see what would happen.

    Rolled Friday autour and you'd know it's the same thing.  Then, I called HP Tech Support and spoke to a lady (Norma) who, after having read the file of description of situation and asking me my name, phone number, email address (which they ask you every time you call - you would think they write this stuff and keep it on file), she immediately decided that the best thing to do is to 'Recreate the IMAGE' on my drive - to which I replied 'NO WAY '.  This seems to be the standard response, if they can't fgure out - recreate the image on your disk.  They don't seem to care about all the work you put into the construction of our system with applications with associated and all data - they want to just Blow-It-Away.

    It made me so angry that I have immeddiately contacted my case manager company HP with the history.  These people - business - case do an excellent job, at least the one I did a great job.  And I know she'll get to the bottom of this situation and go to a happy camper.

    Anyway, if anyone has the same problems with their machine - I'd be interested.

    Kind regards

    I did not read all the answers, but what my qestion... Why are you screwing around? HP has a 21-day return policy, so you can ask them to replace it with the same model or another model as they will send you a FEdEx shipping for a full refund or Exchange label. I wouldn't waste my time with a question like this on a new computer.
