HP Pavilion dv7-6103ei AHCI/RAID?
Hi all
Greetings from a poster first.
I have a Pavilion DV7-6103ei laptop, and it has been modernized with a Samsung PM810/series-470 128 GB SSD with a 1 TB of HARD drive in the second span.
I'm not necessarily interested in a RAID configuration, but I prefer the disks to run in AHCI mode. However, I see that the BIOS does not support changing the interface of AHCI.
I did some research and it seems that these laptops do not support AHCI. Is this correct? I'm not able to find information on the RAID, which allows to AHCI when there is no current RAID configuration.
I have intel that Rapid Storage Technology installed.
Is my only option to run these HDDs in IDE mode? Seems a bit primitive for a laptop as powerful.
If anyone can advise me on a work around or so to be able to operate in AHCI mode, let me know.
Thank you.
Greg
You are the very welcome, Greg.
Your BIOS of laptop computers is indeed set to AHCI and unfortunately, I do not know why the HARD drive is labeled as a scsi device.
I guess that's just the Windows name assigned to the drive. I've seen this before on other PCs.
You can install the latest driver from Intel's Intel RST and to see if it makes a difference what anyone.
3rd file listed. Was also the AHCI drivers too.

How can I check if the AHCI is enabled on my Pavilion dv7 1199ed?
Hi all
I recently bought a new SSD (Samsung 830 128 GB) to replace one of the two HARD drives containing faulty sectors. To use the TRIM, I need the SATA controller that AHCI enabled. How I check that? BIOS is unfortunately limited.
If AHCI is not enabled, how can I activate it?
Some data: Pavilion dv7 1199ed (I have no product number, because I'm sending you this issue of my work (don't tell my boss), my laptop is at home), using triple boot Vista, Ubuntu 12.04 (both on the HARD drive) and Debian Wheezy (freshly installed on the SSD).
Thank you!
Hello
Even if the option is not available in the bios, AHCI is enabled by default.
Kind regards

I bought a replacement HD for my Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl and loading windows, I need to load the driver (I guess that a driver IDE or SATA). It throws an error saying no compatible device not found driver (I can get exact error if necessary). I went on HP website, downloaded 2 bios drivers, Bios tools, and storage driver. What is an exe, I ran and then copied the directory created on a CD.
I point to the CD and still unable to find the device driver.
Any ideas?
Record HD:
Western Digital laptop bare drives 500 GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM hard drive WD5000LPVXIf another HD is required, no problem. If it is a driver problem, a pointer in the right direction would be helpful.
Thank you

If you are prompted for a driver to support the hard drive during the installation of Windows? It's because the Manager of storage on this laptop isn't RAID, AHCI and Windows 7 isn't this RAID driver available on the installation disc. But fear not only intel makes the driver available here:
https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/24779/Intel-rapid-storage-technology-Intel-RST-RAID-driver
You need the F6 driver for 32 or 64 bit one correct installation that you do. If 64-bit, you must f6flpy-x 64.zip. These are compressed files (.zip). Download the .zip to a different computer and extract the .zip to a USB key and when you reach him point the Windows installation when it is asked for a driver, navigate to the location where the files were extracted from the thumb drive. This should allow you to proceed with the Windows installation.

Access the SSD of recovery on a 7008tx Pavilion Dv7 with a broken BONE
Then... I poured a can of soda on my keyboard, the other day. The fluid was able to go through the keyboard in the unit. Not long after that the unit has stopped operating, display color lines on the screen.
I managed her apart and cleaned the internals, very carefully, and leaving the map screen and system alone. Apart from a small amount of liquid, the motherboard was intact.
Put all together now I have a few questions.
First: The system is a Pavilion Dv7 7008tx, with two 1 TB drives in a raid array. 8 64-bit Windows. Oh and data recovery is on a ssd internal flash drive.
Second, the questions start with the 1st player making the rattling.
the operating system is not recognized and disk hp check comes back clean, although the noisy drive was no noise when checking!
I tried to initiate the recovery, but the original start menu refuses to accept anything, except that there is no boot device, go to hp.com/go/techcenter/startup and install an operating system. Disconnect the hard drive master/01/borked does not help.
Unfortunately the tech center told me after checking readers confirming the bios and such to contact hp.
I searched for a few hours for a via USB initialization method and manually run the executable SDS.
I have another laptop which runs on windows 7 if it would help
I would really like to help at least from recovery on the ssd. I assumed that it works no matter what, like its on a separate drive.
Then mabye I could actually check what damage to the unit. The color of the screen disappeared, and he seems ok, except for the drive grunts.
Edit: I know almost nothing about the raid, and as such, I'm a little lost. can I buy another drive and Chuck? The recovery will work then?
The ssd is recognized in the system diagnostics.
Hello
In my view, that the recovery partition is E:, not Q: (SSD), unless your machine is NOT a dv7-7008tx, OR you have modified the original for a new HP dv7-7008tx configuration. The following image shows:
(a) C: and D: 2 1 TB HARD drive each.
(b) E: recovery partion, physically sharing with C:
q Q: 32 GB SSD that is inaccessible (for Intel RST).
Looks like the first physical HARD disk has not physically so both C: and E: failed, you cannot recovery from there.
Kind regards.

HP Pavilion dv7: unable to connect to the Internet
I can't access the Internet via ethernet or wireless. It seemed to happen after an update of Windows 10.
Other computer and android phone can access the wireless. When I click on the wireless icon, I see different networks, including mine. However, it is said, "No Internet, secure." I ran a diagnosis, saying that the wireless network adapter and the wired network adapter does not work. I tried to update the drivers, but to no avail.
I remove this update. I have HP Pavilion dv7, produces none. QJ799AV #ABA. It seems that there are no drivers for Windows 10.

HP Pavilion dv7 - 3188cl: HP Pavilion does not connect to Internet (resolved)
I recently got a HP Pavillion Entertainment, model number dv7 - 3188cl, for me to use for a class at the school by my uncle. Before the recovery, everything worked perfectly well. My uncle asked me to reset the computer, so we used the recovery disks that wiped the hard drive successfully but then refuses to reinstall the operating system. Instead of getting another set of recovery disks that I've used a Windows 7 install disc to reinstall the OS and he did so successfully with one flaw, the laptop does not connect to the internet.
I tried to connect via ethernet and it does not find my WiFi network. I suspect his lack a driver and checked for drivers on the HP site but he said that there is none. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if there is no driver for this I would be grateful if you could tell me where to download from.
Thanks in advance.
Update: after some search Intel had the good driver needed.

HP Pavilion dv7: the spotlight keyboard disabled at startup audio mute
Good day to all,
I reinstalled the software audio Beats & after installation that this light of the keyboard works however, after stopping then starting, this feature is lost? Why? How can I correct results?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello @peace4q1,
Welcome to the Support Forum community!
I read all your posts on the Forums of HP Support and wanted soft hand to help you!
I understand that you are having problems with the audio software / settings lost in your Pavilion dv7 notebook
When was the software last job right for you? What led you to reinstall? When you have reinstalled the software did you use the Recovery Manager?
First of all, you want to make sure that all your drivers for your laptop are up to date.
I found this document has enough detailed troubleshooting for various problems of driver or audio software.
Please get back to me how that happens. To show that you like, or are grateful for my post, kindly click the thumbs upwards below.
Thank you!

Pavilion DV7-6195us: reliable wireless connection
It is of a Pavilion DV7-6195us. It connects wireless to a provided Comcast router/gateway. My connection drops randomly, and my solution was to click on the bottom wireless icon to the right of the taskbar, disconnect my network, wait 5 seconds and reconnect. It is successful in 90% of cases.
I looked in Device Manager > network adapters and see: Intel Centrino Wireless n 1000 #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt #3 and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
This laptop was bought second-hand from a guy who did the free update for Windows 10 without doing all the preparation work. I restarted it in Win 7, 64 bit. The laptop is starting in 2012 and I did the best I could to update the latest drivers, but trying to install the latest WiFi driver gave me the message that says that the driver installed is newer than the one I tried to install. The current version of the driver is 15.11.0.7 as of 1/26/2014(Intel Centrino). I don't know why it is a #2, and I do not know whence the Microsoft Virtual Miniport #2 and #3. Their versions of the drivers are identical and are dated from 2006.
I wonder if they interfere with the Intel N 1000? Should I uninstall them? Is there a driver later for the Centrino N 1000 found somewhere other than to HP support site?
My goal here is to stabilize my connection to my wireless router.
My wife's cell phone is a Dell Inspiron which is located not far from where my laptop is, about the same distance from the router, and she has no problem connecting.
Thank you.
Sorry, I sent the graphic driver not the network driver.
Here is the link for Intel Wireless drivers for Microsoft Windows 7 Version 14.2 Rev A sp54841

Pavilion dv7 - 4150sr: replacement card mother dv7 - 4150sr
Hello, I need help!
I have Pavilion dv7 - 4150 notebook sr and his mother is damaged.
Would you please provide the part number so I can replace it because there are no manuals or any other information with part number for my motherboard.
I'd appreciate a lot.
Thank you in advance.
Here are the specs:
http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02505611
We need to understand from the Manual:
the motherboard you have. You have the i7-720QM with 1 discrete graphics Radeon gig (switchable actually) and you have the subwoofer, so it's your motherboard:
With ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 subsystem separate graphics card, 1 GB of dedicated memory (Quad Core) and the subwoofer v.1.1 615313-001
Not cheap on amazon.com:
I couldn't find it on eBay. You can try HP Partsurfer but usually the price there is about the same as amazon.com.
If I know that you were really interested, perhaps we can expand the search to find it at a lower price, but I expect it to be much less than maybe $175 it is a motherboard upscale a few years and get harder to find new.
