• Pavilion dv7-6140eo: device Bluetooth problem

  Hello.

  I can't start bluetooth on my Pavilion dv7-6140eo with W7 (32 bit)

  Device Manager do not appear, only the unknown device.

  I was trying to upgrade the driver of all HP possible, but always the same.

  Hi, Philippe:

  What wireless network card model is has your model?

  Who determines what bluetooth driver you are installing.

  This is probably the driver that you need for the unknown device:

  This will install HP 3D DriveGuard, which offers protection for internal laptop disk drive if the computer accidentally falls or suddenly hits another object. This package is available on mobile phones supported with supported operating systems.

• 2475ea Pavilion P6: Second HDD Pavilion P6-2475ea

  I want to add a second disk of 2 TB, the same size as the first.

  Physically I have no problem.

  1. it is possible on this system?

  2. is there any manufacturer of restriction?

  3 assuming Sata III 7200 RPM, are there settings (bios) UEFI, or could it be detected automatically?

  I would be grateful to hear of someone who has done this or knows the details.

  Thank you

  No, you can use all the USB ports at the same time. There are two USB ports on the back panel and then a USB connector on the motherboard to feed the front ports. I'm not sure that the front ports are USB 3.0, they could be USB 2.0.

  HP could clearly built extra berries and frankly if you want to extend the thing buy a $50 (case) aftermarket computer case and move all the guts on him so you can have all the berries you want. I've already warned against trying to mount the hard drive bays.

  The card I have seen that it is a 300w PSU that should be good for adding a second hard drive.

• Pavilion dv7 1245 dx boot problem

  Hey everybody,

  Just FYI, I have a dv7-1245dx with a VISTA OS and hard drive of 320 GB.

  I was unable to boot my dv7 for about a week when (I think) the hard drive crashed while the computer is running. I ran the disk hard main self test and received 301, 303 and 305 errors but there always going the SMART control - so the hard drive is shot. System memory is 100%.

  I want to be sure that there nothing else wrong with it before you buy a new hard drive. I tried from a disk external drive with Windows XP is already installed, but just at the point where it begins to show the loading Windows screen, he flashes a BSOD and restarts. Is there anything else I can do to diagnose what is wrong or it's probably just the hard drive?

  Also, what are the brands of hard drive are compatible with the dv7?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The errors you mention in your message, it seems the hard drive failed - this is by far the most likely, although it may be related to other problems, for example the Sata controller on the motherboard, hard drive replacement is definitely the best place to start.

  An example of the type of HARD drive that fits your laptop is on the link below.

  Hard drive 320 GB

  A test of futher you can try to check your laptop is to create a bootable Ubuntu CD.  You can run this OS directly from the CD (that is, there is no need to install on the HARD disk).  The guide and the download is on the following link.

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/download/Ubuntu/download

  Although the operating system running from a CD will be slow, it should show if everything works (apart from the HARD drive).

  Kind regards

• Pavilion dv7 - 4263cl: hard drive problems

  Long story short, OS could not start windows with a missing BOOTMGR message, recovery disc, not work, ordered new HP recovery disks.  To cover, I ordered a new hard drive to replace it, with the same characteristics but a 1 Toshiba to.

  OK, installed the hard drive and used recovery disks at HP, but when you restart always get BOOTMGR missing error message.  Make a new recovery disk for windows 7 64 bit internet and serious on a bootable CD.  It starts, but found recovery does not list an OS system on hard drive.   Did the hard restart more once, install hardrive checked again, the cables and connections.  Took another installation of the HP recovery discs and also led a bootable disc that was to fix the problems with installing a new HHD and activation of the HHD working properly. Working always nothing. Get the same message.  Cast recovery manager got into the prompt orders and done a repair of the bootrec nothing / new. Checked the directory and found at the bottom of the list that it lists zero OS System.  So, how can I get my hard drive formatted to accept the installation of the OS? Any ideas to try, I have read and tried all the messages, I could very well on this forum.   Thank you...

  Thanks for the reply, yes my hard drive failed and I installed a new one, but after using the purchased HP recovery disc though HP, showed that a black bootmgr error saying screen was missing.

  Found on the HP disks partitioned hard drive, with windows on X:\ but was again start-up C:\ which was just a recovery image.   X drive was not complete, he lacked all the drivers and could not activate or change and C disc drive letter. I didn't know how to do this in the command prompt.

  Fixed my problem with a windows 7 installation no disc not the recovery disks that came from HP, if all goes well, they will work to reinstall all drivers to the laptop, but we'll see.  Used (computer repair) on the installation disk and it repaired the bootmgr.  Thanks anyway...

• Skype on Pavilion DV7 Vista and Win7 problem

  I have problems with Skype 5.1 - when I try to open it a message appears 'Skype has stopped working, check online for a solution and close the program, etc.'. Nothing is displayed when clicked. I tried searching for virus & update drivers without success. My DV7 was initially running Vista so I decided to do a new install of Windows 7. To my surprise, the problem with Skype persisted, so I can only assume it is hardware partner. I've updated the Bios without success.

  I found a partial solution - start Skype in Win 98 / ME compatibility mode. Skype opens but the video & audio quality is poor. I have Skype installed on 2 desktops with Vista & Win 7 & it works perfectly, so the fault must lie with my HP laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

  Update: if I disable video IDT Audio Device Codec drivers Skype works well (in Win98 / ME compatibility mode) without sound. This suggests that the audio drivers are the cause of the problem - there are several posts on this topic. I tried to install an older driver (6.10.6225.0 instead of 6,10 6276.0) but the program crashes still after a few minutes on a call for the use of the CPU to 85-90%. My machine is the DV7-2030ea with a processor AMD Turion 2.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 graphics & AMD HD Audio. Someone else had this problem?

  Tried Skype 5.2 - reluctant to install & video out does not work. Decided to return to 3.6 (360216). Only works under Win 98 / Me compatibility, but No problem with the gel etc even mode after 30 minutes. Anyone with problems above with DV7-2030ea or similar machine spec, I would say:

  (1) use Skype 3.6 instead of a newer version.

  (2) run in Win98 / Me compatibility mode.

  (3) if the problem persists, replace IDT HD Audio Codec drivers with those of Microsoft.

• HP Pavilion dv7/entertainment - Ethernet connection problem

  The computer was always well connected to wireless networks, but I moved to a new place and can't get my computer to connect to the internet. I ordered a former gateway wireless via amazon but sent back because I thought that the antenna did not work. However, now I am trying to set up internet via an ethernet cable and cannot.

  I tried two different cords ethernet without a bit of luck. Google research, I determined that there should be LED lights next to the port (?) Ethernet on the computer, but there is not all the lights on with a rope. I have tried countless attempts of troubleshooting and many "patches" of others, but nothing has worked. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software of all the network/internet conncections via the HP Web site. I can't get the internet to work!

  I am currently connected to the personal hotspot that produced my phone, but I can't sustain that without exceeding data limits cell.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi, thanks for your answer!
  After all a lot of trouble, I have established that BOTH the router I purhased and the Ethernet cord I was good did not work properly! (The antenna on the router is malfunctioning and was working as the Ethernet cable when at a specific angle, which is why it seemed to work at first, but not after other attempts). I have since been able to get a new router and an Ethernet cord and am happily connected to Internet.

  Thanks again!

• Pavilion DV7-6c23cl AMD quad core laptop there a 2nd Bay and a port?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a laptop that can accommodate two hard disks (I want a smallish SSD for the system and a conventional SATA, more great for data), I've read that at least some of the Pavilion DV7 laptops with a drive Bay 2nd (& port). Costco is currently selling an image based AMD Pavilion DV7 (dv7-6c23cl) that seems attractive. What I need to know is: has a drive Bay 2? Thank you.

• Problems of HDD on HP Pavilion dv7-3170em

  Hi all!

  Product: HP Pavilion dv7-3170em

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (that is pre-installed when I bought the laptop)

  It's my second HP laptop and I've always been happy with HP products. As you know that my model has 2 discs hard hitachi (320 GB, 7200 RPM).  Now a few days ago, I noticed a problem with a secondary hard drive. I was unable to read the files on it, and moving them to had ' 'C' (primary) (secondary) was a pain. It has been very slow and sometimes blocked at startup. My 1 year warranty expired 2 months ago

  Of course, I tried to reformat, it goes from chkdsk, here are a few screenshots:

  Here's primary which works flawlessly:

• Pavilion dv7-4269wm 8.1 update problem

  Try to update windows 8 to 8.1 and Pavilion dv7-4269wm does not start in windows. failed to retrieve

  Hello MechPilot,

  Thank you for your kind cooperation.

  After the other pure full install win 8 and diligently do all the updates and patches. And verification of the latest drivers for Windows 8.  Everything works great.  Then came victory 8.1 installation update of the windows store.  No luck. Same problem as before. Windows 8.1 will not work. He went into "Recovery screen. It seems that windows has not loaded correctly"once AGAIN.

  Chatted with the technology from Microsoft that has managed to take control of my laptop. He ran a scan to find corrupted system files. 100% OK.   My activation key has been authorized.  He has tried several things but was unable to start correctly in windows. The second Microsoft technology repeated the same tests, but it also seemed perplexed.  Why it run ok with 8 victory, but not with the victory. 8.1 (only in safe mode)

  I asked if it was possible that when windows 8.1 updates, he would check for the latest drivers and load a new video driver that is not compatible with this laptop. Possible.

  Then I disabled the graphics card in the device (in safe mode) Manager.  Restarted the computer and windows 8.1 came to life, with no error message. But in lower resolution.  Windows find no driver loads a generic driver of the weak reference that worked. Then I went to the web site of the graphics card and downloaded the "Windows 8" driver!   Windows 8.1 NOT THE MOST CURRENT driver. Of course, the latest video driver will not work with this laptop. The next earlier version seems to work very well.

  Thanks to the support of fine hand-holding technology at Microsoft and your fine concern and assistance, I don't give up, and something finally worked. Wooooopee!

  Keep your good work and thank you so much.
