HP Pavilion DV9700t - re-use of parts, any ideas? (the graphics card died)

Hello

I have a HP dv9700 4.5 years, who is now dead because of the board (Nvidia) of graphics about me dying and so I try to re use parts. I removed the Lightscribe optical drive and mounted in a new external use via USB. I removed the HDD of 250 GB and rose in a USB3 SATA external enclosure to use as a portable HARD drive.  Are there other ideas to re use elements of this laptop died, so that I can get maximum recovery of him? I try only to get what I can of parts that are not damaged or dead (I have spent more than $1,400 on this laptop custom and realize that I spent too much on an element of a usual duration of what, 2 years? My new laptop that I just got, was adapted by me to a much lower $ 700 price because I kept in mind the life expectancy, this time).

Thanks for all the ideas, Debra

The motherboard at this stage is not a recovery option.

You already recovered the HARD and the ODD disc.

Those are the two elements that you could get as much use of. You can remove the PCIe mini wifi module, it uses, but it may not work in other books... some work with specific cards.

However, you can except for the keyboard and the LCD because there might be someone out there who has need of these pieces (provided that they are functional and intact in the original edition). If you want to do this, you can use the steps in this guide to remove them if you are uncomfortable with this process.

If you have a portable computer that uses the same parts, then you could keep it as spare parts if you need in the future.

  • I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop and I want to upgrade the graphics card

    I'm the product: HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

    Product number: QJ912AV #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    Graphics factory-installed: Radeon HD 6490 m + Intel(r) HD Graphics Family (but I spend the Intel 3000 drivers)

    My graphics were problems since I got my laptop and I didn't realize what a few months after when I did a check on why my graphics running on low FPS. I called customer service and they could not solved the problem, so I started to do the research and updating my drivers for each of them and switching them too. I have finally fixed them and instead to run Minecraft on 22 FPS, I was there at more than 60 FPS.

    Now, this graphics card is good and all, but there are not adapted to the new games (and I've had this laptop 1 year). What don't get me, is why HP installs some old graphics chips in a new laptop. in any case, I want to see what I can put in the new card. I really want to install and Nvidia 650 m, but I don't know because I don't have any information on my motherboard and it is manufactured by HP. Why I want to improve it is because that 1.) This chip sucks and can't play the games of 2005 and more than 2). He cannot run newer games like I'm a player PC of BF3. I get a strong brand of 28 FPS on BF3-ultimate low quality on this game, he reached sometimes 30 but not much. I want this thing to run as good as my game desktop computer that is custom built, so I really want to know what works with this laptop.

    Please help me to know what works so I'll be better satisfied with HP products.

    Read this document. This has been implemented by one of the community experts (erico).

    The answer is usually going to be no upgrade that has been done on the graphics card as this is usually soldered to the motherboard and designed to work with specific chipsets. The fact that this example uses the switchable graphics actually still less likely. I'm sorry.

    PC hardware is changing at a rapid pace, so you get a day probably will be obsolete in a few months if not sooner. I personally ordered a laptop and there was already a new model of the series which has a better processor and graphics card to this topic. Alas, I was outside the return period and could not take advantage of the new model.

    This largely depends on the software used, but cell phones are not usually able to achieve the same performance as a desktop game PC. My laptop performs as well as my office during playback of half-life 2, but there is a big difference when I play Crysis. The experience will depend on how the program is written and how the game engine is optimized. It varies from game to game.

    I also tried looking for a bios update, but I couldn't find one that was on the hp Web site.

    Please help I don't want to buy a new motherboard and cpu.

    Hello

    Most graphics cards require BIOS version 8 HP.  BIOS version 8 is listed under Windows 8 for your particular model PC.  While the BIOS version 8 will probably support your new graphics card, you might find yourself stuck that Windows 7 will not work using the UEFI. You can install BIOS and then turn on legacy mode and see if the card works. However, if the card is a single card UEFI well then you are in a situation of 'catch' 22 In this case, you would have the BIOS later and W7 should always work in legacy mode.  Even with this BIOS update running in mode inherited that there could be some risk that W7 will not work.  Once you update the BIOS there is no coming back.

    Another thought.

    There are no Windows Ultimate 10 version if upgrading to W10 (free upgrade) would you put on the professional version W10. I do not know if that would suit your needs. However, if you have a place in the upgrade by using the W10 iso DVD or flash drive then you could extract the W10 license key so that your could do a clean install with legacy mode turned off in the BIOS that puts your PC into UEFI mode.

    You have a few risks to consider.  In addition, HP has not posted the W10 for your PC drivers.

    What would I do?  I'd go for it, but then my wallet could be deeper than yours.

  • HP Pavilion a6442p. Update the graphics card with HDMI?

    My second computer is a HP Pavilion a6442p.  I would like to upgrade the graphics card with HDMI because I want to connect it to my TV to use the TV as a monitor.  I realize that the power supply is only 250.  I tried AMD Radeon 4350, but the computer would not set the card to display correctly.  Are there other maps any with HDMI that might work?  I thank in advance, Debbie

    Hi Deb5212,

    Food that I suggested above will replace the existing power supply. It has enough power to handle the NVIDIA 550TI if you wish to get a more powerful video card (but more expensive).

    In general, I recommend the Corsair CX500 because she has enough power to handle most video cards except the very high-end. However, it is more expensive.

    ' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.

  • My dv9700 use for video when the graphics card is disabled?

    Hello!

    I've had my dv9700 for about four or five years now. A few months back I started getting blue screens with an error code of nvidia. Turned my video card went out due to overheating, so I sent it have fixed output card (reflow). It lasted me until now, but the card is finally out again. I would try to start each time, I would get the error screen and blue nvidia even code (again, it is a hardware problem is not a problem of driver/software). However, I was always able to access safe mode, then I disabled my NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GS display adapter through the Device Manager and now I can start normally.

    So my main question is, what is my laptop using for video now that the graphics card is disabled? I noticed something called 'vgasave', but I don't know if that is related. Also, someone said that my processor could limit the video feature (?).

    Second, what is the extent to which I can use this new video? I noticed that some programs do not run. In particular, I can no longer connect to my TV via HDMI. Is there a way to get around this?

    Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance!

I know that at this stage I should just get a new computer, but it would be nice to be able to resign from the attached web enabled TV. Maybe I could use the external monitor (VGA) port, since it is analog rather than digital?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    The pleasure is mine!

    You're stuck with the video produced by the MCP67N. You can replace the video module. They should be available for a decent price on eBay. VGA is analog. You will find a disappointment.

  • Pavilion p7-1154: upgrading the graphics card

    Hello

    I want to buy the graphics card NVIDIA 9800GT for graphic design. But before I buy it I would like to know it it is possible to be used on the PC console.

    I guess I have to upgrade the power supply and maybe the motherboard also.

    Please let me know in what concerns the 9800GT what PS and motherboard that I should purchase, if any, that would be adapted to the console. I have Pavilion p7-1154.

    Thank you and best regards

    Illustrator has requirements listed here.   The card mother's only Legacy BIOS, so I would stay with WIN 7, get an EVGA GTX 660 or 670.  It was the last of the EVGA legacy known cards.  The GTX 670 will draw 170W, then I would say once again a Corsair CX600. IT has perfect fit and is better than the recommended 500W unit inactive.

  • Re: Graphics Card Help... flag p6523w and gtx 970 low use of the graphics card

    Hello

    I seem to have a problem with an add on the graphics card in my Pavilion p6523w

    (Yes, this 12 '' long card fits into the case without problem)

    upgrades made so far for this machine:

    Antec 600W PSU

    additional hard drive

    upgrades memory 12 GB (2x2gb original + 2 x 4 GB modules)

    AMD Phenom II 1045 6 hearts

    ASUS 144 Hz 27 "monitor

    The ATI integrated graphics card is disabled in the bios, and I was running an evga gtx 460 for two years with no problems.

    When I "upgraded" to a new gtx Gigabyte 970 OC with 4 GB of vram (not the version of g1, the next one down) I came across a problem

    the new video card will not work at full load when running the games.

    On tests of reference such as furmark and the reference of the sky, it works fine.

    On World of Warcraft and Second Life different viewers, it only works 25% rates of burden and the frame down about 15 fps at 32 fps. (it is slower than the old gtx 460)

    Other people with this same card to receive 100 + FPS on graphics settings maxed out in Second Life

    This is not a matter of processor bottleneck, because the processor will never more than 60 percent load while it is happening.

    I tried different versions of drivers availible for this card.

    Whenever I changed drivers, I booted in safe mode and DDU to remove the old drivers before installing a different version.

    No change in performance between driver versions.

    No change in performance with different graphics settings in games.

    No change in performance with different settings in Control Panel NVidia

    I'm starting to wonder if there is an incompatibility between this card and the motherboard Bios causing this problem.

    Is the newest bios American Megatrends 6.04 version?

    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Mark S.

    There is no problems listed under the dxdiag for my system. Apparently, this card can work with older motherboards.

    I just discovered that this issue of throttleing was a fairly frequent problem quite some 970 and 980 based gtx cards and a solution that works for me.

    There is a 3rd party outside vbios that changes the limit of use NT 250 watts up to 275 watts of power.

    It is the only change from the original version.

    Flashing your Vbios may void the warranty on your video card

    Another thing to check is the voltage drop as possible on the 12VDC feeding the card.

    Some people have experienced this problem and it causes the same symptoms.

    This was not the case in my system, but it's one thing to check before resorting to some flashes of the vbios.

    If you are planning on flashing the Vbios from your video card, be sure to save a copy of the original Vbios in case you need to restore the map to the stock.

  • How to prevent the host ESXi 6 to use the graphics card?

    In my ESXi host computer, I have a NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics card. However, the host takes the graphics card to start stop passthrough to Virtual Machines (VM). Is there a way to prevent the ESXI host enter the graphics card primary?

    "< a href ="https://justus.berlin/2015/06/enable-passthrough-of-mainprimary-gpu-in-xenserver-6-5sp1/"> XenServer has the means to prevent the army to use the main graphics Cardinal < /a > if all goes well it a similar method for ESXi.

    This last post is an attempt to set the record straight about the ESXi host using the primary (or only) graphics card. In addition, more information will provide about success past by the graphics card to a virtual machine that is used with a monitor and peripherals as a workstation.

    Configuration

    ESXi 6.0.0 U2 (Build 3620759)

    Material

    Workstation HP Z620 (J61 BIOS v03.88)

    (1) Xeon E5-2670

    64 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    (1) NVIDIA Quadro 2000

    VM - Windows 7 Professional SP1

    #1

    There is no need to prevent the host from the use of the graphics card beyond to choose the graphics card to get through to a virtual machine. Do alerts if the host and the appropriate parameters are defined automatically. However, the Web Client vSphere does not reflect this behavior when running Firefox on Mac OSX 10.11.3 47.0.1. Recommend use if possible vSphere Client. It presents a panorama that is closer to the real situation within 6 ESXi. If the Web Client is not the height by the time vSphere client is relieved there will be real trouble.

    #2

    At this point, I think, the pilot VSGA vSphere installed as part of "vmware tools" on a virtual machine is required for the successful graphics card through to a monitor. The process of solving problems associated with a virtual machine to crash the host on VM shutdown or restart has led to the false impression that an uninstall of the VSGA vSphere pilot was necessary for the proper functioning of the virtual machine. Do not uninstall the driver VSGA vSphere.

    #3

    A virtual machine with passthrough crashing the ESXi host when to stop or restart a VM guest is not unusual. Click here to see an informative discussion about this and how to fix the problem. If the link does not head the Forum of the source, the House and perform a descriptive research. Essentially, the problem seems to be generated by the interaction of the VM with the PCIe bus on start/stop. In my case, after each accident, the ESXi host area before any PCIe 2 location where the graphic card is installed. See the transponder required for features in the BIOS of HP.

    #4

    ESXi through a GPU was a PITA. It is possible to give enough time and effort. VMware documentation is miserable, so dependent on human is a given. Be sure to leave breadcrumbs for others.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    Windows 7 64 bit all automatic updates of HP and Windows.

    Don, welcome to the forum.

    The first thing you need to do is to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The current PSU is only 250W.  It is not enough to run a new intermediate level video cards.  They require a minimum of 400W.  It would be a good idea to buy at least one with 500W.  This will give you more choice of cards.  I love the Corsair and OCZ PSU.  I always suggest measuring the current PSU and comparing measures to whichever you choose.

    You should stay at 9 "or less for the duration of the video card.  This ensures that it fits in the space provided.  You would need a larger case to go further.  I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  The two cards in the links can be inserted into the computer and they will be good for the games.  Be sure to read the 'Détails' and 'Clients' to learn more about each of them.  I'm looking for products that have more than 100 customers and are at least 4 eggs.  Normally, this will be a very good product.

    everything about this laprop is great, except the graphics card (radeon 7690 m) there is no real drivers for it.

    I was wondering if I can improve my ATI with an NVIDIA graphics card, so I can get good drivers!

    what I can?

    Hello

    Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    1. New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    2. Need new card system (can be),
    3. Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    4. May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    5. Cost of the work.
    6. Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    I hope this helps.
