• Pavilion DV7 - 1243CL laptop - Windows XP Pro installation

  I read a lot of posts here on decommissioning the DV7 series latpop XPP Windows.  What I've not seen my model of th is mentioned DV7 series.  I have DV7 - 1243CL.  I was able to actually cross the Windows XP installation by creating the XP installation disk with the sata drivers.  I have a few drivers installed, but I have a lot of yellow question marks in Device Manager.  Anyone know where I can get all the XP drivers for this laptop?  I got this phone 2 days ago and I spent the majority of these 2 days of combing this Council and google looking for drivers.  There isn't a lot there, so I decided to post this request.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  I like much this laptop, but the idea of having to run Vista is very discouraging.  In case it is useful to have the part number, it is NB234UAR #ABA.

  Thanks again!

  Thanks for the nice words and you spelled my name right

  I answer to your MP, but will post it here again for future XP downgrade users.

  I would like, I knew that the original which did this driver poster works, it helps a lot to XP downgraders.

  I heard that it was published initially in france forum.

  Then an other update is driver ENE. There is a post driver MSI report dealing with the computer laptop HP, but HP has updated their driver ENE.

  here:

  MSI and HP laptop release the same version of the driver ENE.

• What RAM to a Pavilion DV7 series laptop

  I am upgrading a laptop Pavilion Dv7 series and information of conflict on the RAM it will run. Main RAM sites say the DV7 series will work work DDR3 but they also say that the DV7T-1000CTO uses DDR2. More research suggests that the DDR3 switch was made at the time, that my laptop has been made. 8 GB of DDR 2 costs about $200 and maximum, DDR3 is about $50. My DV7T-1000 CTO works now 3 GB of DDR2 and I need to know if the motherboard supports DDR3. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.    Thank you!

  The processor is an Intel Core Duo P7350 (2 GHz) 64-bit

  The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeoForce 9600 m GT 512 MB

  The product computer notebook # is KN798AV

  The serial number is [removed personal information]

  Hello

  If your laptop is currently DDR2 Ram then you will not be able to install DDR3 because modules are physically different and not backward compatible.

  Hi for dog,

  Windows 7 has been available for download on the Microsoft Store until the latter part of 2012 - however, now, you will need to buy an installation disc from a store.

  Windows 7 drivers are available for your laptop - see the link below.

• How can I check the speed broadband on my HP Pavilion DV7 series laptop?

  I am a Novice. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7 64 bit, I received for Christmas 2011. His speed was great until I received a phone call from my DSL provider (a week ago) proposing to improve my speed from 3Mbps to 6 Mbps for an additional monthly cost of $5. I refused because he ran very fast and I was completely satisfied. Since then, it has been very slow and does not load new pages quickly. If I click several times, I get a circle with a line through it, that had never happened before the phone call. Another friend in the region had the same problem after having received the same offer.  Thank you!

  Hello

• Pavilion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own

  My Pavillion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own without any warning or error messages and then restarts asking power on the passsord, etc. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Occurrences are more frequent over time.

  The first thing I would check is your laptop fan. You hear it works while the laptop is on, or it is disabled? If the fan fails, the laptop overheats. To protect themselves, the laptop turns off. It could also be that you have little dust blocks the air fan. The best option is to have someone to disassemble the laptop and clean, but some people have managed with the help of compressed air. The problem with this is that it blows back into the laptop. Perhaps vacuum?

  A farily common problem with most laptops is the integrated graphics processors. Over time, the GPU becomes disattached from the motherboard. If this happens, the laptop will be closed or does not start at all. Generally however, there isn't a lot of attention if that is the case, the computer stops working one day.

• Can I use the Microsoft disc to update my window XP system to Windows 7 to update my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, I have purchased

  I bought a download to upgrade my XP to Windows 7 32-bit desktop computer. I also bought the discs 32 and 64 bit.

  Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

  Thanks for any info

  First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
  update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
  installation.

  Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
  disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?

  Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

  You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
  copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
  one of them for each machine.

• Compatible WiFi / Bluetooth combo card for Pavilion dv7-6b32us laptop computer?

  Hello

  I want to replace the broadcom WiFi (b/g/n) with a combo (WiFi / bluetooth) card in my HP pavilion laptop dv7-6b32us;  preferably with one that supports the frequencies a/g/n.

  I know I can install only cards that are supported in the bios. Can someone tell me please to the list of the WiFi cards supported by the bios of my laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03043778.PDF

  Support without wireless/bluetooth combo cards with HP part numbers are in Chapter 3, page 29.

  Pleaee be careful since you have an Intel processor, look at the list of cards for all models or just models of Intel.

  I can tell you that there is no double card band supported. The 6230 listed Intel is incorrect. It's the wrong part number and if you order this part, you get either an intel or 1000 ralink card. Person on this forum or at HP knows that the correct reference number unfortunately.

  You can install one of the supported cards and it must have the part number HP on it or it won't work.

• My HP pavilion DV7 1245 x with Vista has stopped recognizing the CD.

  When I put a DVD/CD player and click on the disc or the player open, it is said, please insert the disc in the drive.  When I put a CD inside whirs for a little while but when I put a DVD in nothing happens at all.  When I ran FixIt it says fair-media is not readable, but I tried all kinds of DVD and none of them work. Can someone help me establish the popular terminology? I already deleted and reinstalled the driver several times and run Fix It twice. Thank you!

  ====================================================================

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• DV7-6b56nr: the upgrade of processor on pavilion dv7-6b56nr laptop

  I need to upgrade my processor at 2.4 gHz.  How will I know if it's possible and if this processor cannot use?

  If I can't update can I overclock that I need to get as close to 2.40 gHz?

  I called and they gave me some numbers that was supposed to be compatible but they were processors intel.  I have an AMD Board.  It seemed really hard... Laughing out loud

  Thank you

  Hi @no_name ,
  
  Compatible processors are listed on Page 26 of this manual:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03043778
  
  No manual overclocking can be done in most consumer laptops.
  You are currently automatically turbo thrust to 2.3 GHz processor.
