HP Pavilion DV7t-4100: dv7t-4100 processor upgrade

I have my laptop processor ugpraded: DV7t-4100 according to the spefications of the manual.  The model is a DV7T-4100 with a product # WW189AV.   I upgraded to a intel i5 - 460 m to Intel Core i7-840QM processor.  Unfortunately, although the manual says compatibility with this computer model I can't the computer to turn on.  I am a computer programmer and have replaced many before processors on a laptop and this has questioning me the validity of Manual HP.  In fact in the same manual, he said that the computer is not compatible with 16 GB of ram, however, a user on the Board discovered that you can upgrade the processor and in turn, you can then upgrade the maximum authorized place 32 GB memory live.

A little frustrated at getting no results even after spending all that money on a new processor.  As of this moment with ram old or new ram the computer simply not starts with the new i7 840QM.

I am aware of the pdf file: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf and page 11 States that the 840qm works for 4000 series to 4299 so I thought it would have worked.  Please let me know o ' wise HP support or maybe someone else who happens have experience about it, I'm stressed out that I might have to return all the parts of my.

This Forum is still open and available for upgrade issues. We do not work for HP but most of us is passionate about. I will just repeat that these textbooks are not written with the idea that HP is somehow what can be done to upgrade the laptop processors. He was always a gamble, and I always try to tell people that.

    I have a laptop and here's his model and product number.

    Hey wickum,.

    Looking at your manual looks like you cannot move to the 2430M Intel Core i5 processor.

    The only thing you can go to the link that you post here is the Intel Dual Core i3 - 380 m

    So still unfortunately you cannot switch to the 2430M Intel Core i5 processor.
  • Pavilion 17-e020us: HP Pavilion 17-e020us card mother/processor upgrade Question

    Hello

    I think to upgrade the motherboard on my HP Pavilion PC 17 - e020us.  The manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04069163.pdf) contains a list of supported processors, and I'm not sure that we choose.  The computer currently has a processor Intel Core i3 - 3110M with 10 64 - bit Windows.  I am deciding between the Intel Core i7-3632QM and the Intel Core i5 - 3230M processor (the processor TDP should be 35 w or I have to get a new power supply).  You can view a comparison between the two processors and the currently in the system here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/71670, 72056,65700.  Although the i7 has a lower base frequency, it has more hearts; the reverse is true for the i5.  Could you please tell me what CPU should I choose (I'll get the corresponding motherboard)?  Here are the main things I've done on the PC: web navigation on board or Chrome, using Microsoft Office and software development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (which means that I often use of the Tablet and mobile emulators to test my application - it means also I need to compile quickly and be good with graphics rendering (for design applications/Games)).

    In addition, please could you me of those in the manual of the motherboard (34 in PDF of page, page is numbered 24 down to the left)?

    Thank you very much to all who have responded.

    Hello

    Normally we use the rule of 3 C to choose a processor. They are Cache, Core and clock. In this case, I'd choose processor 6 MB Cache. It also has more Core and clock is a little slower but a lot of applications, the slowdown factor is not processor but another factor, namely the HARD disk.

    Kind regards.

  • G6-1262sa: HP Pavilion g6-1262sa, interesting dillema processor upgrade

    Hi, I met interesting dillema. I've asked this question before but did not get a definitive answer.

    I plan to upgrade my i3 cpu - 2330 m. I found out that i3 - 3120 m (I know that it is Ivy Bridge) is supposed to be compatibile with chipset HM65, has the same TDP (35W) and corresponds to the same Jack of rPGA 988B.

    However, repair HP is not on the list of processors supported (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02968997.pdf)

    Websites that claim i3 - 3210 m is compatible:

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel _ (chipsets) HM65_Express.html

    http://www.CPU-world.com/Sockets/socket%20G2%20 (rPGA988B) .html

    http://www.youcpu.com/en/chipset/Mobile-Intel-HM65-express-chipset-Intel-BD82HM65-PCH

    Has anyone tried such a replacement?

    What are the chances that it will work?

    These websites do not pretend that that your motherboard the CPU HP supprts.

    Support CPU depends entirely on specific BIOS of UC support for a motherboard, chipset support.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO Quad: processor upgrade

    Hello fellow admins classmates
    can I ask if I can improve my processor Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.00 GHz at 2.30 GHz Intel Core i7-2820QM?

    any help and suggestions will be appreciated

    Check Page 2 here:

    Manual

    Yes, the 2820QM is the top of the page compatible processor. For an increase in clock speed of 15%, I'm not sure that the upgrade will do a lot for you, but if you feel able to do so, the upgrade will work.

    This processor is quite expensive:

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade processor

    Hello

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.  Due to a new job, I need to update my processor of the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specifications below, please) of at least 3.0 GHz.

    Is there a processor 3.0 GHz there that is compatible with this particular computer? I called tech support and they told me they don't know. I don't know who else to ask.

    This computer was purchased just a few months ago (before I got the new job). I really don't buy a new computer, if possible, if I can upgrade the processor in it.

    Here are the current processor specifications:

    Intel Core i7 3610QM
    Codename Ivy Bridge
    RPGA Socket 988 B package
    The 22nm technology
    Specification Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it seems that one (that I found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel made for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the Extreme edition i7-3940XM (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)

    Priced at $1,000 +, it looks like I'll be shopping for a new computer.

    Don't know if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I won't buy another HP product.

    This machine had problems outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lack in all areas even pull your techscannot model with the serial number.

    Visitors should not go out on the Internet for questions of research like this.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100: Pavilion dv7t-4100 came with 90W Adapter, but says HP 65W Web site

    Section of the HP website 'find the right battery or an adapter for your laptop' lists only 65W smart or slim adapter for my Pavilion dv7t-4100, so I ordered the 65W.  But when it happened and I realized that it was smaller than my existing adapter (which has suddenly stopped working), I took a thorough (literally with a magnifying glass) and that he realized was the adapter supplied with the 90W laptop.  I was initially planned a larger than necessary adapter or HP wrong customers?  The adapter I ordered lists this model as being compatible with it.

    Hello

    It's true, when you connect AC and run games you need 90W or even more. The following list shows the 3 types of adapters that fit to your machine (and many more parts for your machine):

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=WW191AV

    (You can bookmark this page).

    My suggestion: If you are happy with the 65W charger then keep otherwise, use the right piece to get a 90W or same 120W (much heavier).

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t Entertainment PC Memory Upgrade Question

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    PRODUCT # NB444AV

    OSOriginally installed: Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium

    Currently installed OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

    When I bought the laptop, HP included a "FREE upgrade to 4 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) 2 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) system system'. I don't check then. Now, when it is slow, I checked the memory installed by 'Start-> computer-> (right click)-> properties-> installed memory (RAM). It shows that 2 GB.

    I'm baffled why it shows only 2 GB of RAM now, when HP was supposed to install 4 GB. In any case, I would like to upgrade memory now.  I have referred to as "HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC. Maintenance and Service Guide "."  He describes the memory Module as:

    Spare part number description
    Memory 2048 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480382-001
    Module memory 1024 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480381-001
    Module of 512 MB memory (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480380-001

    My question: can I use a 4 GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR2 800 MHz (PC2-6400) SODIMM 200 pin notebook Modules memory in the crack avialable? Memory at 800 MHz won't be compatible with 667 MHZ memory?

    I can't install module memory 2 x 4 GB to 8 GB? Will it be recognized by the card mother/BIOS/Windows?

    Thank you for your expert advice.

    You are the very welcome.

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

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01689926.PDF

    Please see Chapter 4, page 54.

    It seems to me that there are two memory slots (one almost on top of the other). Take a look at the illustration.

    This is why the memory in Chapter 1 specifications indicate that you can install up to 8 GB of memory (2 x 4 GB).

    You can install a single chip PC2-6400 4 GB and leave the one you have in there now.

    It comes to the module memory 4 GB good cheaper brand I could find.

  • The upgrade of my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 to Windows 8

    Hello

    This weekend, I upgraded my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 (that I bought in July) to Windows 8 with the sad result that the drivers for my laptop do not work in Win8. I just had to do a Recovery boot back to Windows 7 (and lost a lot of time and information) because I really need the work of the graphics card.

    When the drivers will work properly? When will it be the right time to move again to Windows 8?

    Thanks in advance,

    Felipe

    @morafen24,.

    I may have some good news.

    I just checked your laptop for Windows 8 drivers driver & support page and it seems there is now a switchable graphics driver available that was not available previously when I checked.

    So the bottom line for your laptop is you can install (upgrade to) one of these 3 processors:

    Intel Quad Core i7-840QM 1.86 GHz processor, SC turbo up to 3.06 GHz, 45W 612260-001

    Intel Quad Core i7-820QM 1.73 GHz processor, SC turbo up to 3.06 GHz, 45W 583053-001

    Turbo Intel Quad Core i7-740QM 1.73 GHz, SC processor up to 3.06 GHz, 45W 612259-001

    If you have a dual core processor in your PC, you could not install a quad core processor.

    Since you have a quad core processor in your laptop, you can not install a dual core processor.

    I hope that I have explained this to your satisfaction.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 does not start

    My HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 does not start. I checked this article: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674

    According to who, the error condition is: 'non-functional CPU.

    So if I buy a new processor and disassemble the laptop and replace the processor, it will fix the problem?

    Perhaps, but it is much more likely to be the motherboard. If the motherboard is bad, you can't trust the blink codes that it generates. Failures of the CPU but rarely occur. Motherboard failure happens all the time.
