• HP Probook 640 G1 Radeon HD 8750 M Win 7 Pro x 64 driver failure

  (x-posted to Forums of consumer...)

  I have similar, frustrating problems with a brand new HP ProBook 640 G1 running Win7 Pro 64-bit.

  (see here for an original message RE: HP ProBook 650: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Probook-650-G1-Radeon-HD-8750M-Intel-HD-... )

  I did an install clean system and install the latest drivers from the HP site for this laptop.  When I installed the 8750 M AMD Radeon drivers on HP website (I tried both those of 02.17.2014 and 09.23.2013.), said the installation was successful, but when I restart the computer, the notification of Catalyst Control Center icon disappears after about 10 seconds, and when I try to access the CCC by right clicking on the desktop, I get the same error as the original message above.)

  I then did clean install from another and tried to install Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 software you suggested, before attempting to reinstall the 09.23.2013 AMD Radeon driver on the HP site.  Still no luck.  (And, incidentally, the 02.17.2014 installation package seems totally screwed to the top, because it installed the .net packages in English, Spanish and Portuguese, according to me, on my computer...)  I don't have not even tried to install the Intel video driver, because I wanted to see if the AMD driver install correctly (with the CCC) on its own.  No luck.  Same error: "cannot start AMD Catalyst Control Center.  Currently, there are some parameters that can be configured using AMD Catalyst Control Center. »

  I lost my weekend on this already.  Oh, and my brand new battery does charge more than 64%, even after a night or more and once again all the afternoon of charge today.  It's my laptop HP or Compaq 4th in 8 years, and this has been by far the worst experience I've had so far with a HP machine.  Most of the unfortunate.

  Well, isn't this interesting...

  Thus, HP tech came out today to replace the motherboard due to battery failure.  Indeed the battery in the new motherboard.  In addition, the new motherboard came with a new video card.  On a lark, I uninstalled the generic AMD drivers and tried to reinstall the version of HP from the HP Web site.  And, it worked this time, without any error AMD Catalyst Control Center!

  Thus, it seems that the motherboard buttocks was responsible for two battery problem and my AMD Radeon 8750 M driver woes.  Happy I arrived on-site service contract next business day!

• 4415 proBook s: replacement of the optical drive - need a support and screw

  Hello

  I'm replacing an optical drive, reference 535816-001 for a 4415 s HP's Probook. I've lost the support that attaches to the rear of the optical drive, seen in Maintenance and Service of Guide on page 68 (http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c01918897-3.pdf). The HP parts store said that the replacement of optical discs does not understand the support. I also talked with HP Support, and after putting me on hold and check with their supervisor, said that there is no spare part for the optical drive carrier. Does anyone know of a place to buy a replacement media for optical drive 535816-001 part number that would be compatible with a 4415 s HP's Probook?

  I also need a Phillips PM2, 5 × 7.0 live which blocks the optical drive to the computer. I saw screw for sale online kits, but was not sure if someone knew a place where I could buy one.

  Thank you very much for the help.

  Wait, I don't understand it how can you lose this part if you already work on it? And for your parts, you should look on eBay if they have this hardware and screws for your car as well.

• Norton Security: install Windows 10 on HP probook 640 g1 with Norton security

  I bought Windows 7 Pro HP probook 640 http://www.newegg.com/ g1 and security http://www.anti-virus4u.com/ Norton can install Windows 10? I contact Norton support, the new version should support but that on my HP probook 640 g1 drivers if I install Windows 10 and Norton security? Can I download and install new drivers?

  A word of warning.  Windows 10 is a technical preview version and should not be installed on your primary work computer.  There is no official driver for it and you will have to rely on the generic drivers, that settles it.  All programs will have to be resettled, including Norton.

  The official RTM version should be stopped before the end of the year.

• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

• I can't put a disc into my optical drive.

  Hello

  I have a Macbook 2010 Pro and over the past 6 years, I have rarely used the optical drive. Recently, I tried to put in a disk but it wouldn't even go.  I have no idea why this would be.

  Any help or advice appreciated!

  Concerning

  You have a hardware problem.  Are you sure that there is nothing inside the DVD player?  If you are energetic, open the MBP, remove the disc and open it.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  It is possible that the player has not.

  Ciao.

• You can install Windows on a Mac without an optical drive

  Hey, I have a Mac end 2011 a friend gave to me and he said it was broken. I realized that it was just the SATA port on the motherboard, so I pulled out the optical drive and I put an SSD in it. Now I want to install Windows but Mac says that I am not allowed to because I don't have an optical drive. I tried Abu tools and many other shippers of EFI boot, but none of them does not seem to work! Please help me fast! I am computer LITERATE, so no response even if it is complicated would be very useful. THX

  Have you tried the Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp?

• El Capitan grateful suddenly don't no optical drive

  I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, purchased 3/2016. I bought the optical drive when I bought the computer. I used the external drive to burn DVDs and CDs. Everything worked fine until I plugged the optical drive yesterday. I opened iTunes, plugged the disc inserted a cd and the window showing that I inserted the cd never popped up. The finder does not display the drive, even though I checked in preferences to show him. The only way I could safely remove the cd was going to disk utility where I could see the disc and the cd and eject it.

  I checked to make sure that the drive still works by inserting a DVD or CD in the optical drive. The two will play correctly, but I still have to go back into the disk utility to eject because the drive does not appear anywhere else.

  With iTunes running and the drive plugged with a blank CD inserted, the "playlist to burn to the disc" is grayed out, because the computer is not recognizing the drive.

  What can I do to get the computer/El Capitan to recognize the drive again?

  Reporting system shows the optical drive? Try the commands from the Terminal after the connection of an optical drive...

• Question about installing an SSD in my optical drive

  I'm looking for pulling on my optical drive and put in an SSD, because I was told it can do my slow Mac run very fast. My thought was that rather than spend on my existing hard drive, I would take the optical disc and install my SSD it (I've seen a lot of videos shows how to do this)

  My original hard drive offers 500 GB and also have a Windows partition, so I'm a little afraid to play with it, too... Adding an SSD will give me a feature from the application of some of the work for the SSD (such a start and some slower applications) to work only with a specific hard drive? And if I did start Mac on the SSD, should I uninstall and reinstall OS X on this new SSD?

  Sorry, I'm really new to all this. Any help is appreciated!

  My first step would certainly be in lieu of the HD with an SSD. Then assess where you are and what you think of your 'new' machine.

• Optical drive will not read anything else professional films

  So, I am owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 ". The computer comes with Intel Core i7 processor and has the maximum of 8 GB of Ram. The problem is that the optical drive that is built into the computer will read nothing else done professionally movies. It can read disks of movies like the Lord of the rings and Wargames, to name a few, I tested, but it will not read any DVD-R disc or to a CD. I tried the CDs as Metallica music... And Justice for all after try in another computer and a radio and get good results when it just won't play on my Mac.

  I have had this problem in the past , but at the time the optical drive not read anything at all. This occurred in early December and I fixed it on 20 December. To solve the problem, I went to the Apple Store and they can Reset the P - RAM. The Apple guy he told me to make sure to disable every night. I did this because it's what I did in the past. After that, I was able to play any CD or DVD and burn them. I also tested it every two weeks by playing a DVD in there to check that it still works. But I discovered that it was broken again when tried to insert a DVD-R to burn things on it and the computer only it spun and then ejected it. I've known this current problem since around mid-April.

  I did some research on it and what I have read I believe that I must buy a cleaning disc and run it in my optical drive to clean the lens of the eye out, but I don't understand how I am able to read some disks and not others if that is the problem.

  Can I take it again in the Apple Store and get it looked like or should I buy a cleaning disc and run it through my optical drive, and then decide what to do next? I'm in no hurry to get this problem fixed because my guarantee does not expire until the end of July this year.

  I don't know why you want to put some words in BOLD and a few words in normal font. Frankly I find it a bit annoying when someone does something like that, but oh well... what you could do is to try a cleaning disc (the one with little brushes this topic) or a good breath of air compressed. In addition, some brands of DVD - R Virgin do not work as well as others. I found verbatim to be good, maybe maxell or Taiyo Yuden. Your mileage may vary...

  If this still does not work, feel free to zap the pram x 2-3) and do an smc reset. Shut down the computer, plug power adapter, hold down the left shift, control, option, and button works / stop for about 45 seconds, let go of all of them, then press the power button to restart. If none of this works, then by all means to make a genius bar appointment and bring it in to your local Apple store. Hey, if you have an extended warranty, might as well use it, right?

  Good luck
