HP G60 notebook PC laptop - model VM803UA #ABA

-a lately a rattling noise that lasts about one second at a time. This isn't a warning message.

Would it maybe the hard drive?

It could be the hard drive and now would be a good time to secure your important data to an external hard drive or move the data to another computer.  Do a set of backup disks as well.  The hard drive will make a sounding snap if he struggles to read a sector.  He hit his head against a calibration block and goes back to the sector to try to read.  Recalibration and repeated readings makes noise and slows things down.  After securing your data, then do a check disk on the hard disk, enter the HP utilities by recording the F10 at startup and run the hard drive test and memory. Look at the hard drive and then go to the manufacturer's Web site and download their program to test drive and run it (usually, you create a bootable CD).  This test can fix bad sectors and to fix some minor issues as well as you say if the hard drive is OK.  That said, he can't always be the hard drive. Locate the hard drive on laptop you and put your ear close to it when it makes noise and see if you can figure out if it is.

  • HP 630 Notebook PC: HP 630 Notebook PC (model: A7J87UT #ABA)

    Hello.

    I'm planing to upgrade my laptop from HP 630 (model: A7J87UT #ABA) with a new processor. I was intending to use a Mobile Intel Core i7 - 640 M for a Chipset Mobile Intel HM55 Express. I need to know if this is the highest level (which has integrated graphics). Right now I have a laptop Intel Core i3 - 380 M. If I decide to upgrade my processor, will be my increase fps (frames per second) videos and games?

    Will my PC from overheating if this processor is used?

    Is there a guide to disassembly and reassembly?

    How the difficult is it possible to replace a processor for a laptop?

    My biggest concern is after I remove, I'll beable to reassemble the engine without problem.

    This video will help a lot:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=qZK0ETNWOgw

    Unfortunately the only manual posted here is for a more recent version of the 630 that uses processors Intel Core gen 2d so I can't confirm the top of page possible processor.

    Manual

    As a general rule, the upgrade to a Core i3 to a Core i7 will only increase fps in games a little more. Game depends on the graph, not the processor and graphics card is not extensible. And it's a pretty hard job so I want to be sure that you don't wind up, disappointed by the result.

    [This | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=102277#102277] is what happened to me.

    So, I contacted the ASP in the Netherlands and the people he said that they could not fill my request because my Toshiba Satellite A100 model has not been done here. They suggested I contact the ASP in Indonesia.

    I contacted the ASP in Indonesia only to hear the same answer.

    I looked for the model on the official site, but I can't find the model.

    If I'm screwed? :(

    Oh, for the information, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite A100 with model PSAA8H 06500 M.

    Hello

    It's a pretty bad situation. ASP in Nederland is right. They can order materials of recovery for the own country only.
    Recovery media are product specific (different hardware configuration) and you may not use any recovery media for portable model A100. Thus, it is important to control the media in the country of purchase. The funny thing is that Googling autour, I cannot find any info on your model of laptop.

    I recommend you use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. If the hardware configuration is known to you, I hope you will be able to find the drivers for your laptop model. Maybe you can use the drivers from http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/support/downloads/index.jsp

  • Can I add bluetooth to my PC 15 hp laptop, model 15-g039wm

    I do not have realiuze I have bluetooth on my new pc. Not sure if I need to add it to my home group or how it is important that it be... Only use the pc at home.

    If I need it to connect, can you help me by providing information on how to add, etc. ?

    Thank you

    Barb

    The most common use of bluetooth technology is to synchronize the data with a phone that you can do with usb or to attach a bluetooth mouse or keyboard or a headphone as if you wanted to make the stone of rosette or something like that. It is not used to network with other computers, usually. If you have never actually used bluetooth I don't see why you need to have. If you feel that you are missing something in the way very easy to add bluetooth is with a cheap usb bluetooth dongle.

    $10 on amazon.com

    The other method would involve the removal and replacement of the wireless card to install one that makes the wi - fi or bluetooth connection. It would cost maybe $ 40-50 for the card but is not an easy task on your laptop model. It is no easy access door and would require fairly complete disassembly and would jeopardize security.

    Bluetooth is a feature of premium generally not provided at the lower end of the points of laptop computer prices, such as the models of Wal-Mart.

    -Does anyone know if there is a replacement of a graphics card for the HP Pavilion laptop dv2000 which would make it compatible with Windows 10?
    ... Or is my only option to not upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a new laptop?

    Hi there @murray62east,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is an excellent site to find answers and ask questions. I understand that you are curious about a replacement of a graphics card.

    Unfortunately the graphics cards are not replaceable on laptop HP Pavilion dv2000. They are directly attached to the motherboard. The only way to replace a graphics card would be to replace the entire motherboard.

    Hope that I have answered your question.

    Have a great day!
