• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HARD drive SSD update for HP Pavilion 15 laptop

  Hey there!

  I own a HP pavilion 15 notebook PC, [model number: F6C42PA #ACJ]. Currently, it is equipped with a 1 TB SATA HARD drive. I was going to upgrade to SSD. Kindly guide me through the steps and the compatible products. Also is there a simple way to just walk into an authorized service center of thm Center and ask to do the upgrade?

  Thank you

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Any form factor of 2.5 in SATA SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147372&cm_re=Samsung_850_Evo-_-20-147-372-_-product

  There is a link for all sizes available on the page. I recommend that at least a 256 and 500 are quite affordable nowadays.

  Where do you live? Country only, please. I heard that HP Service centers will perform memory and SSD upgrades on these 'closed' systems but I don't know where all of them or what they would charge. You should be able to find a competent local computer shop to do. It does not put security at risk, but the warranty is not revoked if the work is done properly, without damage to the laptop.

• Pavilion dv4-2160us: correct bios for Pavilion dv4-2160us

  I have serious overheating problems on my Pavilion dv4-260 and reading that updated the bios might help. I have version F0.b, but some sources said another version.  The HP site says nothing when I check the updates.  Can someone tell me what should be the current bios?

  Last version for your model is F.0F - the title of the list of drivers for Windows 7.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv4-2100-entertainment-notebook-PC-series/4074361/model/4125971#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

  I doubt that a BIOS update would solve the problems of overheating. An older office here suffers from overheating in Windows 10 and I think it is due to no AMD graphics driver to Win 10. The graphics card is old and not support for win 10 AMD. The driver using Microsoft base. No doubt will be back this machine to Windows 7.

• HP Pavilion dv4-1120br: doubts about the BIOS update for my model with the operating system current instaled.

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1120br, I know that this model of HP laptop is old, but I instaled the 64 bit of Windows 10 on my machine and saw that my BIOS is version F.30 and the last of them available on the site of HP F.66 has.

  The problem is that this model is not suport for Windows 10 because, as I said, is too old. Can I download and run the update of the BIOS for Windows 7 64-bit available in the Web site, or I need to downgrade my OS to Windows 7, update the BIOS and then pass it back to Windows 10?

  Thanks for the help!

  Cantarino

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  Your second proposal is correct - as the updates to the BIOS on the HP site are specific to the OS version and if you try to run one for Win7 in Win10, it will refuse to run.

  Good luck

• Pavilion DV4-1413TX: SSD compatibility

  Hi, the HARD drive inside my laptop is quite old and slow. I want to replace it with an SSD. Is there a brand or model which is of course compatible with my laptop HP (HP Pavilion DV4-1413TX)? Can you recommend some? Thanks a lot for your help!

  It's the dv4 repair:

  Manual

  For installation instructions, see p. 59.

  You can use any large 2.5-inch SATA SSD. Those who are going to be 7 mm thick, but will always be the bolt in the caddy in place and place a thich 9.5 mm hard drive. Get at least a 240 gig. Something more kid is simply too small to work with and the prices are more reasonable now for larger sizes. On an older machine like yours, you can shop on price because the performance differences aren't really going to be too sensitive. Your laptop's SATA-II, but you should get a SSD SATA-III and will downclock to SATA-II operation will always be incredibly fast compared to a hard disk.

  This is a "negotiation" player available on Amazon with first delivery for less than $60 and would work fine:

  It's a 'high-end' SSD, one I personally always recommend, for $88:

• HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr cannot start after the update/update BIOS version F.12 to d.55

  System: HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr PC Notebook

  Product #: FR922UAR #AB

  The system board ID: 30F7

  Version of the BIOS (before the update): F.12

  OS: Windows 7
  

  I tried to update the BIOS to d.55 which was provided by HP. After the successful installation the closure of new windows BIOS correctly. I restart the PC, HP Logo appears and then nothing happens. The operating system do not load or start at all.

  I also tried to boot using the Windows 98 Second edition CD (to charge BACK), but it did not work.

  Please help me...

  Fortunately I found a Solution to this problem.

  Here are the summaries (and modified according to my needs) the steps that I've taken of the following thread:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/dv4-1140GO-won-t-boot-after-flashing-latest-BIOS/m-p/19698#M2730

  1. go to the hp site and download the correct version of your BIOS. In my case it had to F.12. Why not the latest version? Because there is no guarantee that the last one will work for you, know after measures.

  2. go where you downloaded the file and using 7 - Zip (or tool of your choice of course) unzip the contents to a folder of your choice. We'll get to that later, so keep this file open.

  3. use 128 MB or no matter what key-USB USB key (the smallest, you might find, because they said the smaller the better ) and reformatted to FAT or FAT32 click with the right button on the drive by clicking on "format".

  4. now that my USB is ready, go back to the folder where you extracted the file to update the BIOS (always open to the right of the folder?)

  "5. If you have the graphics card Intel integrated like me, copy the ' 30F7F12U. FD"of the key USB and RENAME the file '30F7F12U. FD' at '30F7. BIN ". Remember that this name calling to order "DV4-1125nr. If you have a different motherboard, the system or the BIOS, the name must be determined according to the.

  The next steps are exact 0.0 as follows (the link of a full detailed discussion is provided below), I simply numbered:

  6 unplug the adapter from the laptop.

  7 remove the battery from the laptop.

  8 insert the USB key into one of the USB ports on the laptop.
  Does not seem to matter which.

  9. press the 'Windows' key and the 'B' key

  10. connected to the power adapter.

  11 press the 'Power' button on the laptop.

  12. when the LED is entered, letting go of the power button / stop and the two keys down earlier.

  13. After about 10 seconds the notebook started to read the USB key. While searching for the file, the laptop beeps every seconds.
  The number of beeps varied, depending on what size of the key USB has been and
  the number of files on the USB key, a single beep for many.
  If the file was not found, the laptop will restart and try again.

  14. If the file is found then it took about 12 seconds for the laptop to load. No beeps sound not heard during the loading time.

  15. when it is responsible for the laptop has started flashing, indicated by beeps every 2 seconds. It took about 32 seconds.

  16. about 5 seconds after the ringtone had stopped off the laptop computer.

  First I update my pc with the last BIOS (F.66), but did not work for me (operating system not loaded after HP Logo ). So I decided to go back to the old F.12 (the version that has been shipped when the laptop was purchased) according to the procedure described above. But the problem is where to find version F.12 as HP currently provides links only for the version of the BIOS F.66 to d.55 (in the drivers from the hp support site section)

  Fortunately, I found a direct link to this version F.12 in the next thread.

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Compaq/304332-C700-CQ40-CQ45-dv4-dv5-DV6-hdx18t-Insyde-BIOS-recovery-using-USB-thumbdrive-2.html

  F.12 version:

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp40501-41000/sp40749.exe

  This was F.12 and worked for me. Thank God Almighty I return my PC.

  Thanks to all who contributed in the discussions above.

• Pavilion dv4: Pavilion dv4 memory/RAM upgrade

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4 (15-inch screen), still not sure of the model #. It's on WIndows 7 Home premium 64 - bit operating system with 4 g of RAM.

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM and wanted to know if someone knows the maximum I can develop in and also if there are 1 or 2 memory card slots? Any help would be appreciated. Ideally looking for make it if possible 8 GB or RAM.

  The T6500 processor was used on the dv4-1000 series, so it's a pretty good indication that you're already in memory of max. The dv4-2000 used first processors Intel Core of gen.

  The best acceleration on a legacy system as an SSD, but they are expensive for one with any ability. If you are really adventurous, you could theoretically install a Core 2 Duo processor much stronger as the T9600. It's a lot of hassle, though, and spend money like that on updates is not really economically advisable when you buy a new laptop in a year or less in any case inevitable. New models have just so much more to offer. USB 3.0, SATA-III, faster memory and processors, better battery life. It lights up.

• Cannot install driver for hp pavilion dv4-2045dx cd player

  Computer: HP Pavilion dv4 2045dx using Windows 7 (64-bit)

  I currently have problems with my computer's CD drive.  He has been unable to read discs of any kind of music, DVDS and software programs for several months now.  The main problem seems to be with an inability to properly install the driver for the cd drive.

  When running "find and solve the problems" of section "Troubleshooting" in the Control Panel, I get an error message that says that there is a problem with the driver for the cd drive.  Whenever I try to install the driver, he is not able to do so and contact the manufacturer of your computer.  I also tried to download all the updates and I get essentially the same message.

  Also, here's all that I've done so far.  I followed all these steps, but the last two listed in the help or support of the site.  Here is the link I used:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01897812

  I couldn't do a restore of the system in step 7, because the last date that I could find to a restore point has been today (or yesterday).  In addition, I couldn't do step 8.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX overheating and thermal shutdown problem

  HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX under Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
  
  I had problems with this computer from the beginning, to be honest.  But now the situation is unbearable.
  
  I can't go even 30 minutes making the slightly intensive tasks involving the graphics card
  (Like the game in low detail, do a rendering/CS/CAD work) without thermal shutdown due to a problem of overheating as a result of misplaced fan. and the fan on this thing is very very strong, even in low market (another downside of this model, but it's not the point).
  
  SpeedFan shows average at 90 c CPU and GPU Temp about 65 ° c temp. Even when doing absolutely nothing (like now). What does really serve to accumulate all these heat? solve the world huger?
  
  I tried to clean the vents, use the Compressed Air used an expensive Cooler Fan, reinstalled Windows and other drivers HP and demand several times now. and I exhuasted.
  
  Then. Help? Anyone?

  Hello Opscsd.  I understand you are having some problems with the closing of overheating and/or random downs.
  
  How long have you had this laptop?  It is still under warranty?
  
  The fan makes a noise of rattling sound similar to what you would expect if the fan was loose or is it simply "strong"?
  
  You have ensured that you have the latest version of the BIOS?  You said you updated the drivers and applications so I assure you.  I think it's the latest BIOS for your laptop.
  
  I would also make the built in Diagnostics for hardware (RAM and hard drive because they both can cause similar symptoms).  This will help narrow down the cause.  If you don't know how to do these tests take a look at this document.  Be sure to view the results.
  
  I will keep an eye out for your answer.  I wish you a great weekend!
