HP Pavilion PC 500-281: If a reovery disc done on a pavilion of 500-281 work on the same unit?

Our Church bought 4 identical Pavilion 500-281 desktop PC from HP 15/08/2014.  Yesterday (30/08/2015) a hard hard drives in a defective systems. I called HP support and they want $399 to replace. I think to install a different hard disk, it nuking, and then by installing a recovery on the new hard drive.

PROBLEM: I did the system restore which has no value.  If I do a recovery of the value of one of the other identical systems it'll work on one that has failed or is - sensitve serial number, in which case I have to order the set of HP?

Thank you

Bob Davis

Thank you, Tom.  I'll give it a try.

  • G7 Pavilion: Pavilion g7 keyboard only works for the password

    I was recently given a grandma g7 Pavilion.  She barely used.  The keyboard won't let me enter her password but completely stops working after the password is entered.  He may have had an external keyboard used previously, but is not fixed now.  I read on the forum and tried all the fixes I've seen.  I tried: disconnect the battery taking then now power button for 30 seconds, put the battery back and plug in the unit, turn on press the ESC key to make Bios restore default.  Left battery, instslled all the updates, uninstalled keyboard under devices and rebooted.  Tried the trick of screen ctrl and print.  He strives to enter the password, so it has the ability to work.  Very frustrating.  The keyboard icon returns to the settings but I can't click on it.  Help, please!

    Hello

    As the keyboard works until you connect, check the following.

    Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  In the new page layout, select the "ease of access Center.

    Select the option "make the keyboard easier to use".

    If there is a check mark next to 'Turn on filter keys', click the box to Remove , and then click apply and then click Ok to save this change.

  • Pavilion dv7: no internet after resetting the computer

    I don't know if I am posting this in the right advice.  I had to do a reset on my Pavilion dv7 laptop, kept my personal files, but now I can't access the Internet.  It shows that I am connected to my wireless network, but I can't go to all the websites that I go into my browser.  I went to Device Manager and went to network adapters.  I can say that the driver works fine and I don't see the warnings or errors on other drivers in Device Manager.  I am at a loss of what to so any help would be appreciated.

    Hey @Esoxdiver,

    I understand that you are experiencing you encounter some difficulties to connect your laptop in WiFi and I want to help.

    Here is a list of steps that solve common problems with wireless connectivity.

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Network power cycle:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an Ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the document.

    The above steps are presented by @Great-Christine-Tree

  • Digital Persona software stops working on the Pavilion dv8-1250ea

    Hello!

    I noticed that Digital Persona, the software for the JJUJ scanner integrated on my HP Pavilion dv8-1250ea stops working whenever the laptop wakes from standby or hybernation mode. On the login screen, the icon on the right referring to the fingerprint reader warning flashing at a rate of about twice a second and the following note says "fingerprint reader not detected". So I'll type the password manually, but the cursor in the field password prevents jump at the beginning of the field at the same pace, and it seems as if there is a current discount. The only way to log is press the 'end' key immediately before each character in the password, which is a disappointment.

    I recently downloaded an update for Digital Persona, but it has not solved the problem.

    Any ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance!

    Here is a work around, see if it works... You will need to go to Device Manager, depending on what hardware you have; AuthenTec orvalidity... Double-click on it... who will launch the Properties Windows... Click on tab power management... this tab, uncheck the box that reads "allow the computer to turn off the device to save power"... and see if it works... ' "

  • can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

    have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

    At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

    It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

    I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

    What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

  • Pavilion 500-449: monitor screen does not work with the new HP Pavilion 500-449

    Not sure if 64-bit or 32-bit.  More HP vs 19 flat screen LCD monitor or new monitor LG Flatron E2242 will appear with new HP Paviion 500-449.  Both will be lit.  Monitor says HP VGA No. imput and goes to sleep.  LG monitor says it's to enter the mode, same thing, I guess that energy saving.  The two appear on older HP Pavilion a1430n.  Store support suggests the problem lies in the monitor menu options but they do not display with a try monitor.

    Abandoned and reduced to store.  When they were scuffered too until they tried a second monitor in the back and noticed that it connected to a different place in the back!  Seems a converter is needed for old VGA monitors and then he plugs into a completely different place.  Originally, the husband plugged the power cord VGA of my screen instead of ONLY on the back, he could go, the marked spot VGA.  No, the converter is a big plug and can only fit above in a place with NO Label at all.  On top of that, everything IS there a converter plug supplied in the box with the computer, but there is absolutely NO mention of what to do with it, or where it goes.    I feel better that the store did not know that either; Clips by the way, where the young man was very nice.    He only discovered by accident because the store had two monitors with different plugs on the end.

    Short Stort of long, if yours doesn't receive will check that plug that goes to the tower.  You may need a converter and it can even be provided.

  • HP Pavilion p6-2069sc: computer hangs during the HP splash screen

    Hello.

    I plug an ASUS GeForce GTX STRIX 750Ti to use in my Pavilion P6 - 2069sc, but when I start the computer after installing my GPU, the screen hangs on the blue HP startup screen.

    When I try to hit the ESC key to enter the BIOS or any other keys it comes just a beep of the machine.

    It is a long beep every 20 seconds or so from the computer.

    When I use the integrated graphics card, everything works as they should.

    I already upgraded to 550W 300W POWER supply

    Because your computer has been manufacturer Sept 2011, there Legacy BIOS.  The latest vBIOS UEFI was initiated at the HP units at end of 2012.  That said, either you stay with a Legacy BIOS GPU card, or choose a dual hybrid card BIOS.  The GTX 660, or GTX 670, all of which are two high-end of the legacy card would be far superior to the GTX 750Ti.   All the current hype is looking for a lower quality card, the 750Ti, based on the more low power and some GTX offering a BIOS hybrid via Select manufacturer. The Asus could not be hybrids, as you can testify.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-GTX-660/specifications

    Based on your existing new POWER Pack, (hopefully a quality unit), 660 GTX would be good.  In my humble OPINION, an EVGA GTX 660 is better based on your power supply of the system. Please call EVGA for re - check a Legacy BIOS.

    PS I have a EVGA GTX 660 and 670 in my BIOS Legacy of <>towers.  I tried an ASUS, but he did not have an ASUS motherboard. Strange, but ASUS check the fault has his own card. Cost me $50 return shipping cost, so Please check with any manufcacturer.

  • Pavilion 22-H010EL: need to replace the cable SATA in my AIO, can't find the right

    Hi all, I have a problem with my 22-H010EL AIO HP Pavilion TouchSmart.

    The hard drive broke twice while PC was covered by the warranty; now the warranty period is over, and the hard drive broke again. I guess that there is a power supply problem, in fact I see the hard drive has boots more than I actually received; Sometimes I hear a sound of boot clearly while the PC is on (and I'm sure that's not because of the stand by, because it happens while I use it). Also, just after the first replacement of hard disk, it showed 7 boots upward in an hour; I guess the power/SATA cable is damaged, the origin of the problem described, but it could be the motherboard, too.
    I would like to replace the cable to see if it works, I really hope he does it; Thanks in advance for any response.

  • Pavilion Notebook 17-G012NA: Audio uses the laptop speakers and not a paired devices

    I have two devices paired bluetooth connected to my computer laptop, but audio still plays through the built-in speakers of Realtek.

    The device is introduced, my laptop confirms its she paired up and I do not see in the circles where I'm wrong.

    There is no problem with the associated devices because they work brilliantly with my phone and turntable.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you

    Hello @RG99,

    Welcome to the HP Support Forum's community!

    I understand your message that your Pavilion laptop - 17-g012na will only play audio through the built-in speakers and not the Bluetooth devices are paired.

    These speakers have worked in the past with this laptop? Have you verified that your system is up-to-date available throughout drivers and software?

    Microsoft has a background paper on connecting devices Bluetooth here and also a document of difficulty connections Bluetooth.

    I know from personal experience that some Bluetooth speakers and other devices, even when it is associated with, should click you on them to connect before it will actually start communicating with the PC.

    Please let me know how it goes. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button accept as Solution down below in this message.

  • This memory will work with the 23-g010 Pavilion?

    I have a HP Pavilion 23-g010 all in one PC of office tomorrow. I have a question about RAM upgrades. I have a HP Pavilion laptop 2010nr g7. I looked at the specs and they look like both use PC3-12800-1600 MHz memory chips. No one knows for sure if the memory of the laptop will work in the Office? I would like to extend that 4 GB in the office by adding 4 GB of the laptop (to give the office 8GB). This would allow me to save money in new purchasting RAM for now.

    Does anyone know if the memory of these two machines are compatible?

    I don't blame you.

    No, if the memory is not compatible, the PC boots or something like that.

    It should not destroy your PC.

    Just make sure that you unplug before working inside the PC.

    According to me, that it will work fine as long as the tensions are the same.

    These two circuits must be of 1, 5V.

    Even if the chip is 1.35v, the worst-case scenario is that the PC does not start.

    Some memory claims DDR3L (low voltage = 1.35v).

    I need to know what to do in response to: "short hard drive DST-Failed", failure ID: 60E3KV - 0007Q 9 - WPTXOK - 60QD03 on a desktop pavilion p6-2330.

    When the computer is turned on, it presents a loop; try to solve the problem, but unable to do so.

    The memory test is 'spent '.

    SMART hard disk check is 'passed '.

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    This 24 character of error codes when generated from the HARD drive test indicates a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this means that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    You always have access to the data stored on the disk? If you do, then save as much information as possible and look for a replacement drive. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself – please let me know.

    I hope this helps and good luck!

  • Pavilion G6 2342dx, Wifi works does not after update driver recommended

    Hello. I have Pavilion G6 2342dx running Windows 8. Yesterday, I used HP support assistant to perform some recommended driver updates. Among the things to day was the device of Qualcomm Atheros Wifi driver and the driver of HP wireless button. Peripheral installed WIFI was 10... 222, 10... 212.

    After the update, my laptop cannot detect any wifi network. This shows simply 'no detected networks.' I also noticed that the light on the button wifi (F12) is always white If yes or no I activate flight mode or not. I get a message on the screen of property on the change in status of airplane mode. However, it doesn't seem to be actually toggle the wifi because of the sidebar, it looks like wifi is on but with the message "no media detected" persistent. In addition, wifi on the status bar icon is grayed out with a red x.

    I tried deactivating and activating the adapter without success. I tried to download and reinstall the driver (10... 212) with no luck. I even tried to disable, uninstall and then reinstall the device in Device Manager. System restore fails whenever I have it try. Interestingly, the last driver on the HP support Web site is the 212, no mention of the 222 pilot.

    Everyone has experienced the same? I would really appreaciate help on what I am completely stuck.

    Hi @futoji,

    Thanks for all the help. I finally resorted when you run the upgrade to Windows 8.1 and that seemed to take care of the problem.

  • Qosmio X 500-webcam does not work after the installation of W7 Ultimate

    Hello
    I have a big problem.

    First: Sorry English is not my native language and I can't find a German support forum here.

    I have a new laptop Qosmio X 500, and I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - Bit of news. I try to install all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba, but it't really didn't work with the Webcam.
    I can't install it. It works once, I can install the "Web camera Application", but he says that it cannot find the web camera. Then, I uninstalled the "Web camera Application" and try to installed new.
    Who does not work now too. He asked: "if I'm going to delete all" but I delete them all! And I can not install the "tinstall.exe" I don't know what it is, but it is from the WebCam Driver of Toshiba.

    In the Device Manager there is no Web camera too.

    All means what? Is the WebCam broken? I've had the laptop for 5 days.

    Greetings

    Hello

    Qosmio X 500 shipped with Win7 64 bit OS so I really put t understand why you use clean install of the OS. Ultimate version is so important to you?

    At first, I must say that the Qosmio X 500 is more complicated for laptop for any new OS install and all things must be installed in the correct order.

    But back to your questions:
    > All means what?
    It probably means that you are missing something
    > Is the WebCam broken?
    Probably not. Install original OS, you got with your laptop and test the features of cam again.
    > I've had the laptop for 5 days.
    This statement is not relevant at all. If you do something yourself and it works not that's problem and even your laptop is 5 hours old.

    What now? is original OS install an option for you?
    You have created recovery DVDs until you have installed the clean version of Win7? I hope because without DVD, you won't be able to install it using the option of HARD drive recovery.
