HP Pavilion dv4 problem of disk controller!

Hello, I have a Core i5 Pavilion dv4, wich is recently have frozen, and then a BSOD appears with stop 0x000000F4. I checked for software issues, but everything is normal. I ran the memory and the disk self-test with results 03F0 in two tests.

I noticed that when I do the computer work stronger than normal (e.g. a 6 GB on an external disk file copy), or as when installing Adobe Master Collection CS5, the computer freezes at a part of the installation and then the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS, so I have to on your computer (then turn on turn off).

After X times to get the same question, I look for the events in the event viewer, I get only an event source 'Disk', with the comment «the driver detected a controller on \Device\Harddisk error...» "blah blah blah... This event is coded: 11.

What could be?

I also have a problem with the WebCam, it is not recognized by the software.

Help! Please...

Hello

03F0 is a failure of the bios hard disk test, you may well need to replace.

It may be useful to check the following running.  Click on the Start Menu, computer, left click Local disk C once to highlight, right-click Local disk C and select Properties.  Click the Tools tab and then click on the button "check the drive for errors.  In the next window make sure that both boxes are checked, then click Start.  Part of this process will require a reboot to check the disk.  After the restart, as Windows checks the HARD disk, keep a watch for the number of defective sectors found.

Kind regards

    I need help, recover my computer to original factory State.  Wiped my hard drive and I have no recovery disk.  Anyone know where to download it or order of?  It is not more downloadable from HP.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello:

    Microsoft does not allow download of OEM operating systems.

    This is why PC makers must provide physical support for the recovery of the operating system.

    You can download Windows 7 If you have a retail version product key and the key on your laptop is an OEM product key.

    As underlined Hüffer, HP sells more recovery media for your model.

    However, you can still get a game from this provider no HP on the link below.

  • 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!

  • Problem of backlight flicking of HP Pavilion dv4-1412tx

    I have a 2 years old Hp Pavilion dv4-1412tx laptop and recently I have a problem with my backlight of the screen. It wobbles a lot and sometimes totally blackoff when I have the screen at certain angles of tilt. It wobbles too much even when I slightly move or shake the laptop. I changed the inverter, but the problem remains. I feel is wrong with the cable/Ribbon that connect the screen on the main body of the laptop. I checked upward with a local computer store and they told me that there is no spare parts for the connector of cable/Ribbon for my particular model. I even made reference interview dv4 guide manual that I downloaded from the hp site and I can't find any references to this particular piece. Is there anyone can help?

    Hi, Benjamin,.

    Yes. I just got my replaced dv4-1412tx LCD cable and it works fine now. It took almost 3 weeks for research technician and wait for the new cable to arrive. The part S/N is DC02000IO00-screen LCD - PA (the characters after 2000 is alphabet 'io' not '10'). You can do a google search and even get it on ebay.

    http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?_nkw=dv4+LCD+cable

    This seems to be a common problem for older models dv4. If you google on the web, you will see a lot of people are facing the same problem. I wish the Hp technical support team can read this message and give appropriate assistance to those in need.

    I hope this info will help. Good luck!

  • Pavilion dv4-2170-us has problem with connection light display

    The cover on my laptop seems to have a bad connection, because I have to play with the angle to get the screen to

    show anything.  Sound very, very delicate.

    Is this something that can be fixed by a tech or should I get a new laptop?  I'm asking because there is another nother

    problem with function of my computer.

    HI @compugirl ,

    I understand this thing you display may have a bad connection that you have to play with, then fish on the screen to show the line.

    Want to know if this could be fixed by a tech.  The short answer is Yes.  Here is a link to 2009decembre 17 December 17, 2009 HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. Please note Chapter 3 page 3 for a list of the replacement screens supported by number of the part.

    It may just be a connections loose as you said, either a bad connection cable...  The cable may have become defective through the opening and closing of notebook, during normal use.  Please note Chapter 4 page 27 for the removal of the screen procedure.  Before considering the replacement of the screen, I would try a new cable first to exclude it.  You should be able to buy the cable to any computer supply store.

    I hope this has helped.

  • Problems of the HP Pavilion dv4-1155se

    I am having some problems with my HP Pavilion dv4-1155se sound.

    The problem is the sound distorts when reading there.

    The distortion is not always present but it distort once or twice every minute even when only applications that are running are "windows media player" and "windows sidebar".

    I have not noticed any difference with the distortion when the processor is running at a higher load.

    This laptop is only 3 weeks and I just installed google talk and google chrome.

    Help will be appreciated.

    My profile

    HP Pavilion dv4-1155se. / vista windows home premium 64-bit SP1 / AMD turion X 2 ultra @ 2.20 ghz/4 GB Ram / bought August 2008

    What do you mean by 'distortion '. Is it crackling, getting completely, something else? The problem only occurs through the built-in speakers or is it so when you plug head phone? If it doesn't happen out of the speakers so it could be a problem of speaker and you will need to have serviced it. If this happens off helmet too then this is probably a problem with audio card. If it's a problem of sound card so I will try to reinstall the driver of the RECOVERY Manager (I think the driver for this model is conexant high definition audio driver). If THIS does not work, then it could be Wireless interference. Some DV4 do not have enough shielding between the Wi - Fi cards and audio and this causes reactions. Find the switch wireless on the laptop and turn it off. If you turn off the wireless and the distortion disappears all of a sudden, then you know that this is your problem. If you have a DV4 without enough armor and you are still in warranty, you sent him have this fixed.

  • HP Pavilion dv4-1100ea display problem

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1100ea which has display problems.  The LCD screen is blank. When I turn on it starts the fine on an external monitor.

    If I shine a strong light on laptops LCD screen I can see the login screen and I was able to open a session.

    Is it possible to tell what happened to be defective? Does the backlight, Inverter or LCD?

    Thanks for the help,

    You were spot on. It turned out that the inverter was not defective it was all down to the cable not properly connected screen.

    I couldn't see the display cable connector when I replaced the inverter because it covered the keypad cover.

    I have the UPS old back in, cable connected correctly display and rear display. Thanks for the help
