HP Pavilion dm4-3055dx

OK so yesterday I turned on my laptop, a laptop HP Pavilion dm4-3055dx Entertainment, and I received a disturbing message that the hard disk failure is imminent. I tried to run a check on my hard drive by pressing F2 when booting, but every time I tried my computer freezes for a few seconds and then tells me that the check failed. I read a little about this problem and what I found that looks like I have to completely replace my hard drive. Honestly, I don't understand what could have happened because the computer remained stationary for days and the message came from nowhere.

I guess my main questions are: 1) is it possible that a link is simply come loose or I should try before I resort to replacing the hard drive? and (2) it's my only computer so I won't be able to refer to this Commission during and after installation. I know that most of the software and drivers are available on HP's Support site but what about my operating system? Is there a way I can download my version of windows (without having to buy it because I already bought it when I bought my computer) and perhaps transfer on my smart phone and then back to my computer or put it on a disc or something? And I guess 3) what exactly should I expect after installing a new hard drive? I did a complete (as a condition of the factory) reset recently so I'm not really interested with any personal data, but if I can reinstall windows I'll be able to use my wifi and internet access immediately after, or I have to put all my drivers and my browser on a disk to use later? Like that all I have to save and have available after replacing the hard drive?

I apologize for the length/number of questions that I asked but I'm really naïve on this whole thing and just want to make sure I'm ready. Thanks for reading and I look before all help.

Here is the Manual:

Manual

Pages 48 to 50 show how to get hard disk and place the new naked drive in the old stand (body). You reuse just all parts except the naked reader, which requires a little work easy to transfer through screwdriver. Your laptop takes 7mm or 9.5 mm thickness 2.5 inch wide hard SATA or SSD drives. Some larger 2.5-inch server drives can be 12mm thick, but almost all 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive that you see will work fine.

For example, it will be just fine:

  • HP Pavilion dm4-3055dx Entertainment PC freezes on the right side of the screen after logging in. Help, please.

    Hello people,

    I have a very frustrating problem with my HP Pavilion dm4 - 3.55dx Entertainment PC running Windows 7. I bought it 3 months back and it worked very well at the speed I expected to until yesterday when I restarted.

    I was watching videos on youtube when my google chrome crashed. And then every time I restarted chrome, it would start but will not let me type. As a result, I started using Firefox and that worked very well. But I had all my bookmarks and stuff on Firefox so I decided to restart my laptop, hoping that would solve the problem of chrome.

    When it restarted, everything went well, I connected and my office has appeared, but it froze. I couldn't do anything and he would not recognize the clicks. Nothing seemed to work so I used the power button on for close and tried again. The same problem. Then I opened a session in Safe Mode and checked the event viewer and there was an error on the Microsoft .NET Framework v4 period.

    I also had DCOM 1084 errors but I'm assuming this is because I was in safe mode in time. The other persistent mistake was my WLAN won't start not in Normal mode (I can access the internet fine with safe mode). I read on some forums that a virus could be the problem so I uninstalled Avast, but which did not help. Nothing seemed to help, so I restored my system to July 31. It is while I had the latest update of Windows. Yet once again, the problem still exists.

    This morning the only mistake in the case where the viewer was the Search Service Windows does not but the laptop still frozen every time so I disabled the search service, but that did not help either. The system still freezes whenever I starts in Normal mode, but it records all errors in the system event viewer folder. There is one in the application log on the description for event ID 1003 from source that ISCT Agent cannot be found.

    I don't know what the problem with my laptop. Everything worked as it should until reboot. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 48 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

  • HP Pavilion dm4-1150ea: Bluetooth stopped wotking on Pavilion DM4

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4-1150ea running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    I bought a receiver bluetooth audio and paired with the laptop and installed a driver. I was able to listen to audio to the receiver but when I closed the laptop and opened it later, it stopped working.

    I looked in Device Manager and the bloetooth radios are no longer there and there is no device under network adapters. They had been there before.

    I rebooted several times and it still does not work. I managed to do the work once and it coincided with put the power cable in. However, it did not work for a long time.

    HP Wireless Assistant says that Bluetooth is disabled in Device Manager.

    I tried to download the latest driver for bluetooth on the HP site, but it won't install because bluetooth is not running.

    At one point, I got a message saying that he was not a USB device. I can see a warning about "Unknown device" icon in the Device Manager USB controllers section.

    I tried to do a system restore, but that failed because it could not access a file.

    Any ideas how I can get blue tooth works again?

  • Replacement of the frame and hinges - HP Pavilion dm4 laptop

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4 laptop of 2.5 years. The first hinged on both sides broke that makes it harder for the laptop to close properly and now the frame is breaking apart. Is there a way I can get/buy replacements before other parts are screwed up.

    Thank you

    Yes, I also have this problem (dm4-1050ea).

    It all started on February 2015, when my aunt noticedv that my laptop was nt close properly.  It could be be made to do by pressing half upper (screen cut) to the front to the rear of the closure.

    The hinges then becomes deective that the screen don't would not SOUPLESE nd would not sit just to the place (angle) you open to.

    Following the hinges too stiff beame to exploit, came shortly after the left of the screen/lid and the window broke near the LH hinge (rather than though the bezel as shown in the image above). Then the right hinge broke off, then the screen become deective (mainly a band along the LHS - worked with detached hinges OK))

    So, I find myself with computer work, not 100% functional & broken and needs special care to use. the screen does not work in all areas (a replacement looks like £30-$50), with the virtually hanging screen, need to rplace lying hinges (£10-$15) and also nees any other bits (?) and the knowledge to fix it.  HP say they can't stand any more of this model and have no theparts (from end of 2015).

    It may be beyond the capacity of an almighty ccompany such as HP to find parts, but it does not seem beyond the my ability to get parts of - maybe-2nd hand - other HP broke! - But what I lak is kno detailed ho a skill to perform any repair.

  • HP Pavilion dm4: graphics driver Intel & AMD causing Windows Crash

    Hello.

    My laptop is

    HP Pavilion dm4-3107tx Beats Edition Entertainment Notebook PC.   I tried to install the graphics drivers from this link:

    http://support.HP.com/ph-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-DM4-3100-beats-Edition-entertainment-not...

    but I could not install the graphics card intel. It is said that the cell does not meet the minimum requirements of the graphics driver.

    I also tried to install AMD and he did. But every time that I reboot, Windows startup crashes.

    I also noticed that results for starting blocked when I recently updated my Windows, including the update for the driver intel which I have not yet installed (because I know that once I did, I do a lot of recovery and repair of the system for the umpteenth time).

    And now I feel really stressed out about it because I've been formatted my laptop for the second time, and the last time it was with the release of the pilot intel. I was stuck again started back and I got really tired of him.

    I really need help with that.

    What I have to install ALL the drivers in the link before installing graphics drivers to ensure that graphics drivers will install?

    Hi @katrinahahaha,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that you have a problem installing your graphics drivers.  After formatting the drive and installation of the Intel graphics driver, you have a problem starting.  Did you use the Recovery Manager to format and reinstall Windows 7?

    You only need to install the driver AMD of the HP driver page because it contains the two pilots.  Please try this process:

    • Uninstall and remove two graphic drivers
    • Restart your laptop
    • Run the HP Support Assistant to help find and install the graphics drivers
    • You can also after the uninstall, remove the driver and restart, download and install just the driver AMD.

    HP Support Assistant

    If this problem persists, try removing both drivers and using the Recovery Manager to install the drivers:

  • Pavilion dm4 touchpad

    I upgraded my Pavilion dm4 Entertainment notebook for Windows 10 and my touchpad has stopped working. All my settings are correct, and I checked to see if my touchpad driver was that it is up-to-date. I have no idea what to do. I have not had this problem before. It does not allow me to use it to scroll, highlight or click. All it will let me do is move the mouse and zoom in & out. It drives me crazy. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Method 1.

    I suggest you completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall.

    Follow these steps.

    • Press "Windows + X" and click on "Device Manager".

    • In the list of devices, you should see the drivers for the touchpad.

    • Right-click on the device and select "Uninstall".

    • In the dialog box uninstall, make sure that you select the option to remove the driver package from the system. This causes the installed driver package more soon to be deleted.

    • In the Device Manager Action menu, select ""find the hardware changes " option." This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Method 2.

    Moreover, if there are no updated drivers available on the Web site of the manufacturer of the computer, then don't download the latest drivers and try to install in compatibility mode of Windows 8. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    a. download the driver from the manufacturer's website.

    b. right-click on the driver configuration file and click on 'Properties'.

    c. click the "compatibility" tab and check the box ' run this program in compatibility mode for " and select the Windows 8 operating system from the menu drop down and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Response with the State of the question and we will be happy to offer you our help.
