HP Pavillion DV7 6154ea Questions on windows 8, driver etc.

Recently bought a laptop HP Pavilion DV7 6154ea.

paid allocate money for her that she was second hand it and without warranty.  After receiving it now looks that the choice was made, great laptop. Just having a few problems with the understanding of the functioning of windows 8.

the laptop on the back label indicates a key of windows 7, meaning that it was sold to the original owner with windows 7.

The laptop was sold to me with the installation of Windows 8 Pre.

The seller just re installed windows 8, wipe the hard drive before.

My problem is that I do not know if I have to download any dirvers for windows 8? asked the seller who has no idea about the drivers. I guess they were already installed by front cd.

Secondly, there is no drivers windows 8 available for this model? is that going to be a problem?

need to know your thoughts as soon as possible, as I might be able to return the item for a refund if I act fast enough!

try to put in place the laptop properly before putting it to use.

I also would like to access the BIOS under windows 8 to change the graphics card options that the laptop comes with the 2 graphics card. I read that if it's done auto instead of permenantly on less heat is produced. However, these instructions are for users of windows 7.

need help, advice on the use of this laptop. Really don't want to damage anything so scared to touch even if it starts perfectly. uncertain about the drivers, the correct graphics settings on windows 8, its my first time using windows 8.

Thanks for your time

You are the very welcome.

Exit the BIOS settings only.

When you run Windows update utility under optional updates, you can see what presents itself.

If you see an Intel HD graphics driver update, right-click on it and select hide.

I doubt that you will ever see a graphics amd update driver, but if you do, you can do the same for that too.

The optional updates will never install unless you check them and add to the list of installation.

Concerning the drivers, you need only to install the drivers for all devices listed in the device with the little Manager! brands next to them (in the category other devices).

If the graphics drivers are not installed, you will see two adapters vga standard listed under the category of display cards or you will see them with! also marks next to them.

If you have an English version of W7 and can read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own plain W7 installation media and use the product key to activate it if you don't want to buy a recovery disc for your model.

Here is the link to the W7 x 64 Home Premium SP1 ISO file.

http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-58997.ISO 2147483647 English Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 X 17 - 58997.iso

Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes he says full download, but you do not have the entire file to download.

Either use the ISO file, burn option in your burning software DVD to burn the ISO to a DVD file, then the ISO file, burn option will also make the bootable DVD.

Or you can use the Microsoft tool on the link below to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.

This tool will also support bootable.

You can install the W7 x 64 drivers and software support page and the driver of your laptop.

  • Windows 8 drivers for my HP pavillion dv7 6143 cl

    I've recently updated my computer Windows 7 to windows 8.  I did a complete reset, so I lost all my other software in the process.  Now, I am looking for some drivers and return programs that were not automatically by windows 8.  Specifically, Miss me the Beats Audio, my fingerprint reader software which is integrated with this model and my dedicated graphics card AMD Radeon 6770 (I can probably find it on the AMDS website however).  However, the HPs driver windows Web page 8 is not listed as an available for my model (hp pavillion dv7 6143 cl) operating system and I was wondering if windows 7 drivers would work in this case or if I'm out of luck.

  • No sound from subwoofer or pregnant before "Bat" on the dv7-6154ea [Windows 7 x 64]

    Hello

    I recently restored my computer laptop dv7-6154ea to the image on the recovery partition. After update as necessary, to date (all updates from the hp site Web and windows ones). Then I noticed that the sound only plays on both speakers below the screen. The subwoofer and 2 speakers in the front of the laptop are silent, reducing the sound quality to that of a cheap netbook.

    I tried,

    1. Uninstalling the IDT driver, reboot and put it back in place (using the one provided by the HP website after having detected my laptop model).
    2. Reinstall the driver using the HP Recovery Manager.

    It seems to me that it is more likely a software problem, since both the speakers and the subwoofer has stopped working at the same time, but I could be wrong. Is there an another driver IDT that I could install that can detect and use all the speakers? Could I have no drivers/software that facilitate the use of all stakeholders? Or whatever it is that I am able to do to solve this problem.

    On a side note, sometimes both jacks of headset will stop detect headphones and not mute the laptop speakers - set headphones will truly increase the speaker volume! This problem is corrected by restarting the laptop, but it annoying nevertheless.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First of all, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 7.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    Then download IDT Audio Setup on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

  • How will I know if I can use wireless headphones on my HP Pavillion DV7 running on Windows 7?

    I have a HP Pavillion DV7 Windows 7 & would like to buy headphones wireless instead of the smaller earbuds that came with it.  How do I know if I can use it as most of the sites such as eBay requires your PC to be Bluetooth compatible so that their specific work wireless headphones.  How will I know if my phone is bluetooth compatible?  I searched what little paperwork came with it, but don't know where else to find this information & don't want to buy headphones which doesn't work on my laptop & end up having to return them.  I am not very savvy PC so I'm sure that somewhere in the software there are some information about it, but I don't know how or where to find it on my laptop.  I could really use the skills of a person to solve this dilemma bit I'll have too simple as it may seem to most of you, the experts there, but for a "newbie" like me, it's all Greek to me!

    Please, can someone help me understand what to do or where to find this information.  Is somewhere in the control panel?  I'm just at a loss about where to find this kind of information on my own laptop & feel like a true dummie here, people!  I just want to be able to listen to stereo to my Netflix movies & other programs I have on my laptop with a nice set of headphones but I need to be sure everything I buy is compatible with my laptop.

    Thanks to someone out there who can help me with what may seem like a trivial problem, but for me it's a mystery!  I need help badly!

    Hello Sam51

    According to the data sheet for your computer it has not built in the Bluetooth adapter. Fortunately, there is another option, there are devices called Bluetooth adapters that fit in one of your USB ports. Newegg sells them at a reasonable pace, but you can also buy them from most electronic stores may be in your area.

    Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thank you

  • Can I attach multiple external monitors to my Pavillion dv7 laptop?

    I have a monitor connected via the HDMI interface, and I would like to have another one is attached as well. Can I use the VGA port (either a dish - I don't kjnow not what it's called) and have the instructors work together?

    Thank you!

    (Windows Vista, Pavillion dv7 laptop computer)

    Hello, Jerry:

    Theoretically, you should be able to connect monitors as you have video ports.

    As I don't have your model, I can only speculate.

    I know that's true for desktop (where the embedded video is handicapped by an add on card).

    In my view, that the other HDMI-looking port is a display port.

    When you turn on the power, you do not get the HP Splash Screen Logo?

    The screen remains completely black?

    If so, you have a hardware problem.

    If under warranty, contact HP.

    If it is not under warranty, contact a repair shop, local.

    See you soon.

  • Pavilion DV7: How to make windows 10 talk to external monitor?

    I changed my Pavilion DV7 (product # ww185av) from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

    Since then, the laptop appears on my external monitor (HP x 2511).

    The screen remains black.

    Laptop computer connection and monitor worked very well just before the switch.

    If I P-window and choose "duplicate", the laptop tells me that I don't have the optimal resolution and it changes the screen resolution of mobile, but the external monitor stays black.  Somehow, I found once a "detection" option to get another monitor, but windows cannot find a second monitor. I tried to re-allocation of places the connection htmi several times.

    I suspect the video driver, because my laptop wonder is no longer on whether I want to change GPU when I plug/unplug power supply.  I suspect that it is running low power GPU, and he never liked talking to the screen when executing that GPU.  But I have not found a panel that allows me to spend.   My video drivers are updated according to windows and hp advisor software.  Some HP site says that HP does not support windows on machines more than 10 2 years, one of which is mine.

    Any thoughts on how to get the laptop to talk to the screen?  Should I just go back to Windows 7?

    The expert event is over, no one offers a 'plan B', and my Windows 10 grace period is exhausted.

    I came back to Windows 7 and my monitor works fine again.

  • Question about Windows Update in Windows 7 links.

    Whenever I have run or click on the links to Windows Update to update my workstation at work I usually click the links on the left under the heading Control Panel home.  When I click on it it says "Windows is up-to-date.

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.  My question is, what is the difference between checking the updates link in the Control Panel Home section and check online for updates from Microsoft Update?

    Verification of updates link goes to a SCCM server only?  Just curious.

    Brother and sisters all the place!

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.

    After doing the above, you have now "reversed" your source of default update from Windows Update to Microsoft Update.


    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx

    Translation: Now the automatic updates (and controls running manual updates) will provide updates for Windows and office, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials, etc..

  • C2Y65AV dv7 Bluetooth question WANT after the victory of 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

    My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV

    He came originally with Windows 8.0, and I later upgraded to 8.1.

    I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I "had" to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing that there may be questions. I downloaded the drivers, bought a new drive hard, etc..

    Everything went past better than expected and I'm happy with the "downgrade", except for 1 issue.

    1. I have difficulties to get my Bluetooth to connect completely to one of my devices (headset or headset).
    My WiFi works well, I think the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card. When connecting to any Bluetooth device, it appears in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover and 'connect', but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound always comes through the laptop speakers.

    I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW came with the laptop. It worked fine with Windows 8.1. All my devices Bluetooth paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.

    I went to the Intel Web site, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the most recent and correct version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then search and download the last correct version.

    I downloaded all the drivers for this HP downgrade, driver and software help section () of the Internet site. What great resource is this site!

    Suggestions? Advice?
    I appreciate any help!

    Thank you

    P. S.

    One interesting thing about Windows 8.1.

    When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new hard drive SSD just for that purpose. I had saved my hard drive took a shot with 8.1 Windows on it just in case this downgrade are successful.

    Just for grins, I added it as a second hard disk (later) in the case where I needed to get the missed files.

    When I restarted my laptop, I went into the Manager startup and selected my main drive with Windows 7. It started normally.

    Then the seconds after startup, a message pops up saying that I had to reboot for the changes to take effect. I don't remember making some, but thought that something was updated?

    So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 supports and edit files on my hard drive SSD (disk win 7) which ultimately disabled the Windows 7 boot disk.
    Attempt to start the hard disk Windows 7 has frozen just after the start of Windows 7 screen.

    I pulled the plug on the rebooted Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 hard disk. Before I could however, he had to scan the hard disk for changes and correct. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.

    This Windows 8.1 is of course control. Can you say 'Hal' from the film '2001 A Space Odessay'

    The 2230 Intel chip is crap. I suggest to get decent bth less Intel 6235 or 7260AC to get a connection. The 2230 provokes many questions it is better to get rid of and use a correct wifi card.

    Sometimes, WinMail settings get screwed up and you must remove the account and then add it back back.  Make sure first that the antivirus software not interfere (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).   Delete your account completely, then close WinMail.  Then compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Add your account to mail back once again, and then make sure you have the correct settings under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers and | Advanced to what AT & T Specifies to WinMail (or OE).  Then see if it works.

  • HP Pavillion DV7-6052ea: Wireless problem card

    Hi, I'm moving my Wifi card of a 802.11ac card for 5 Ghz speed

    I have a Pavillion DV7-6052ea with i7-2630qm.

    Laptop came with Broadcom 4313gn 801.11bgn card and looking at the manual here it says that the Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6230 is compatible with my laptop but when I install it the laptop does not start, it's just a black screen with a text box (not flashing) solid.

    It give me any option to go into the BIOS and the fan is working, if I press the power button / stop, it stops immediately.

    I also have a Centrino Advanced - N 6035 from another laptop, isn't on the list supported in the manual, when I install I get a message saying that the card is not supported.

    Any ideas why the laptop does not start with the 6230?

    Because it is not on the white list in the BIOS. The guide indicates a N-6230, but if track down you the part number in the manual it takes to another card. There is no option double band of 5 GHz laptop, that I do not say. Let alone a 802.11ac option.
