• Pavilion dv7-4180: upgrade Windows 7 to 8

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4180 using Windows 7.  I bought a Windows 8 of Microsoft and the Bill says:

  "Earn 8 32-bit/64-bit English VUP DVD."

  Online Microsoft provides this statement (quoted):

  «Download and install Windows 8.1 to Windows 7»
  1. sign in to your Microsoft account
  2. in the menu of left, click downloads, subscriptions and product key
  3. find your purchase Windows 8.1, and then click Download
  4. If a dialog box appears, click Run to start the installation
  5 follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation of Windows 8.1 "

  Before thiis upgrade, is there advice that I should follow to avoid an honest mistake?  For example, losing a feature because of the upgrade?

  Thanks for your comments.

  Very practical advice.  Device Manager to see 'pilot' listed, or should I navigate on the control panel?

  Thank you.

  You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.

• Pavilion DV7: How to make windows 10 talk to external monitor?

  I changed my Pavilion DV7 (product # ww185av) from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

  Since then, the laptop appears on my external monitor (HP x 2511).

  The screen remains black.

  Laptop computer connection and monitor worked very well just before the switch.

  If I P-window and choose "duplicate", the laptop tells me that I don't have the optimal resolution and it changes the screen resolution of mobile, but the external monitor stays black.  Somehow, I found once a "detection" option to get another monitor, but windows cannot find a second monitor. I tried to re-allocation of places the connection htmi several times.

  I suspect the video driver, because my laptop wonder is no longer on whether I want to change GPU when I plug/unplug power supply.  I suspect that it is running low power GPU, and he never liked talking to the screen when executing that GPU.  But I have not found a panel that allows me to spend.   My video drivers are updated according to windows and hp advisor software.  Some HP site says that HP does not support windows on machines more than 10 2 years, one of which is mine.

  Any thoughts on how to get the laptop to talk to the screen?  Should I just go back to Windows 7?

  The expert event is over, no one offers a 'plan B', and my Windows 10 grace period is exhausted.

  I came back to Windows 7 and my monitor works fine again.

• Pavilion dv7 programs closing and opening at random, computer stops randomly

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6154ea running on Windows 7. I've had it for a year and a half now and I just encountered this problem (it started a few days ago).

  The problem is that some programs or files are opening and closing by themselves, randomly without doing me anything. Sometimes even whole computer stops himself. And it's not as if it crashes, it just closes programs in the usual way or stops normally (without any problem).

  I scanned the entire computer for viruses and it is clean. If the problem seems not be caused by a virus.

  One thing that I was doing at the same time when this problem occurred is switchable graphics mode in the BIOS change, dynamics on fixed, by following the steps in this link to The switchable Graphics Mode

  I have a built-in Intel GPU (that to speed up performance) and an AMD Radeon HD 6490 M GPU (that of better graphics) and I wanted to run the PC on the AMD because I think that the dynamic mode has not changed the GPU when I needded, for example for video games.

  However, after a day of opening/closing by themselves programs, I decided to return to dynamic mode, and nothing has changed, so maybe it's also not the cause of the problem.

  In any case, it seems too convenient that the problem happened right after I introduced the Switchable graphics in the BIOS mode, if I don't think it's a coincidence.

  Can someone help me? It becomes very awkward to have a program that I use at the moment of the computer closa.

  Thank you

  sthri,

  It doesn't sound like it's a virus, but it could also be the keyboard.

  Go to start

  Type ease.

  Press enter

  Go to the bottom and click, facilitate the use of the keyboard.

  Check all the boxes and click OK.

  The keyboard will not work, but move and open programs as you normally use the computer and see if you get any errors.

  It is a shot in the water.

  By clicking on the White Star congratulations on the left is a way of saying thanks!

  I would like to know how everything goes.

  Nice day.

• HP Pavilion dv7 will not start Windows 7

  I need assistance or advice from those who have more experience or a more extensive knowledge in this area. I'm working on an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook pc. Product # is LW181UA #ABA. It has a CPU of 2 gig Hz Intel i7, 8 GB of memory (2 4 gig mem modules), a Hitachi 750 gigbyte HD. He ran and passed the tests of memory, burn in tests, tests of hard drive and startup tests that are run by pressing F2 during power on. When you arrive at the start of the operating system screen. It has Windows 7 64-bit version of the operating system. Then he begins to show the bar graph to slip at the bottom of the screen shows the percent of loading hangs and emits a constant beeeping. If I try to go for repair options or selections of recovery, it does the same thing. For me, I don't see how I can have a hardware problem because it seems to pass memory, disk and start diagnosis? The only thing the owner said to me was that they had spilled a glass of water or soda on the laptop. I expected the pc must be dead or have a power supply problem but not the case. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated because I don't know where to go from here. Also, I use an external keyboard.

  Thank you

• Pavilion g6-2202tx C0P15PA: upgrade: g6-2202tx C0P15PA Pavilion: backlit keyboard, battery and RAM

  Hello

  Product name: g6-2202tx Pavilion

  Product number: C0P15PA

  OS: windows 10 (64-bit)

  Location: Mumbai, India.

  I want to update my laptop ram and replace his keyboard.

  Laptop comes with 4 GB of ram which has 800 MHz frequency (you can pl confirm that?).
  As product specifications page indicates that frequency of 1600 MHz is supported by the motherboard, I'll buy extra 4gigs of memory at 1600 MHz. Sera - what a good choice, or despite the frequency of 1600 MHz, the two ram runs at 800 MHz? I would have to buy 8 GB memory at 1600 MHz. can you pl developed on the same.
  
  Secondly, I have "keyboard full size style Island w / pad" keyboard, which is not backlit. and I really need a backlit keyboard, I can replace the keyboard with a backlit keyboard of HP. If Yes, can you pl tell me the process? Is the laptop motherboard supports backlit keyboard? will I need to update the firmware and driver for the same? I can buy a market?

  Backup of my laptop battery has significantly reduced. In recent days, I also get a message at startup, which suggests for the replacement of the battery. Where can I buy a new battery? What specifications I need to know to buy a battery compatible, true.
  
  My laptop is under warranty HP on site. (the battery is not under warranty, as collateral for the battery has expired.)

  How does the whole scenario fits with the product under warranty.

  @hung29kt

  Your English is very good.  The smile.  Unfortunately, it's the only language I speak, so we are limited.  Can I use Google Translate if you want / need to send information in your own language at home.

  Problem webcam and HP SimplePass troubled can be tricky - when they don't work, it may be easy to fix - or terrible and difficult to understand.  I hope I can help.

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

  The camera can be other problems.

  The Support of your laptop troubleshooting Web site section:

  HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx laptop / troubleshooting

  Help for Webcam / camera:

  Article > Webcam / camera

  Look at this document for help and suggestions:

  Laptop HP, Touch and PC AiO - Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

  What happens if nothing helps?

  It is possible that the tiny wires in the camera are broken.  If nothing is done to fix the camera, you may need to consider that the wires that connect the camera to the computer are loose or disconnected (broken).  If that's true, in other words, if the wires are broken or disconnected, the webcam / camera will not work.  This isn't good news, but this is not cheap having fixed.  You can take the computer to a local computer repair center, the confidence of having this kind of work.  HP can also do this repair.  If you have the skills, you can do the repairs yourself.

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

  HP SimplePass

  Reboot = redΘmarrer

  HP SimplePass is sensitive to "other software" on the computer.  Everything must be "up-to-date" and ready to go.

  For example, you want to have your update of the .NET Framework, you want to have your updates from Windows Update (in the last month or almost) and you want to make sure that you do not have a shortage of pilots.

  For example:

  Page driver your computer laptop Support site:

  Category: Software - security > HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection

  sp57232.exe

  Category: Software - Solutions > HP framework

  sp56878.exe

  The short answer:

  Preparation

  • Stop all programs: browsers, games, Applications, etc.

  Control Panel > display icon > System > System Protection >

  Select (highlight) your main drive (C)

  Click on Create a Restore Point

  Installation of the driver and HP SimplePass

  • Download the Driver of sensor of validity on your computer:

  sp56403 validity sensor Driver W7 - 64 bit V4.3.301.0

  • The pilot will probably download in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the driver of sensor of validity by 'double click' on the name of the file
  • Restart the computer and log in

  Next

  • Download the version of HP SimplePass program 5.4.0.402 on your computer:

  sp58600.exe

  • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
  • Restart the computer and log in

  See if you can get HP SimplePass program to start

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

  HP SimplePass Version 5.4.0.402 is an older version of the program SimplePass.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work for everyone.

  There is a newer version of the HP SimplePass program drawn up by the same company (AuthenTec) that might work.

  If you want to try it, follow these steps:

  • Download this program:

  sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

  • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
  • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
  • Restart the computer and log in

• Pavilion dv7-4180: LAN - does not connect

  Hi all

  I myself have set up in a new home and now am using a modem to the computer's LAN connection.

  I could not receive a signal when the connection of the modem to my computer, but on wi - fi systems, it works.

  Then on another computer, the LAN connection starts a blinking on the modem and there I go, connection

  through the LAN.

  The first computer that does not have a connection on the LAN-

  Once again, it is very well when instead of a Wi - Fi connection and scoring in just this old LAN connection to my new residence

  Any advice on a particular problem is appreciated.

  Hi @AtAF,

  Thank you for your query.

  I understand that after moving into your new home, you cannot connect to your local network, is another computer.

  You are able to connect to hotspots Wi - Fi with your CV.

  When I did a search for your model of laptop, I got several results that you forgot to enter the two letters after the model number (example Pavilion dv7-4180us).

  How can I find my model number or product number?

  On this particular model that Windows 8 is not supported by HP so they do not list the drivers updated for it.

  Download or update of software and drivers for HP computers

  You did all your Windows updates?

  You use the same Ethernet cable that worked with the other computer?

  Have you ran the Windows troubleshooting tool?

  If you check device manager there is an error on the network card?

  Here is a link to HP - troubleshooting Wired Home networks (Windows 8) computers that should help you too.

  When you turn on the power, you do not get the HP Splash Screen Logo?

  The screen remains completely black?

  If so, you have a hardware problem.

  If under warranty, contact HP.

  If it is not under warranty, contact a repair shop, local.

• Pavilion dv7-3020sa battery overheating

  Hello

  I was using my laptop from the power of the battery (not connected) earlier and had my laptop just completely stop from what appears to be a lack of power. I don't have a message of warning on the power to be weak so I thought it was a little strange.

  I plug it into the sector to pitch up and see the light for the battery charge, come on for a few seconds before turning off again. Again, this is something that doesn't usually happen. When I turn my laptop back I see that I have 14% remaining battery power indicator and it was plugged in, but do not load. If my battery has 14 percent of left power why has it stopped as if it didn't have any power?

  Eventually stopped my laptop (although when I lit it back again once, I was to discover, in fact, he had not obtained closure round) turn the power off and remove the battery. I think the battery is quite warm to the touch. I remember rising over a recall program of battery for a laptop of parents so I look for the details, my battery is not on the list, but I could be suffering from similar symptoms. I waited until my battery has cooled before trying to reload again and this time it works fine.

  Anyone got any idea as to what could be the problem?

  Batteries may become hot during heavy use, cool was the right thing to do. Lion batteries will be will not charge when they reach a certain temperature thanks to internal circuits, it is a safety device.

  The recall was for batteries which has experienced extreme overheating thanks to the possibility of an explosion.

  Make sure that your windows power option settings for when it is running on battery.

• Replacement Laptop hard drive - 12.5 mm vs 9.5 mm (HP Pavilion dv7-4180)

  I am looking to buy a spare hard drive for my laptop and in accordance with the documentation of Maintenance HP (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf), HP dv7 laptop computers in the range 4000-4200 support 750 GB + hard drives which are 12.5 mm height. I searched the internet for a 1 TB hard drive, but I can't find those who are 12.5 mm. Has anyone had luck installing a 9.5 mm HDD? Thank you!

  Hello

  For a long time, they are now thinner disk HARD, 3mm, it's just a great rate of 12.5 mm to 9.5 mm BUT 4 (or 8 screws) must maintain the HARD drive in place. People can put SSDS to DV7 machine then should be allowed to use the 9.5 mm on a DV7.

  Kind regards.
