    Hello:

    You need these drivers for devices...

    The media JMicron card reader driver allows the card slot multimedia integrated in the laptop models running a supported operating system.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp60501-61000/sp60769.exe

    This package contains the driver that allows the validity fingerprint sensor in the notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The fingerprint sensor analyzes fingerprints for use with biometric security applications.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66501-67000/sp66915.exe

    This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard to the notebook models and operating systems. HP 3D DriveGuard receives notifications of the built-in accelerometer and protects the hard drive (HDD) by automatically "the heads of parking" to reduce the risk of damage if the laptop is accidentally moved or deleted.

  • HP Probook s 4330: could not find a way to factory reset

    Hello

    I was try to factory reset my old laptop to clean up before I give it to my brother, the problem is that I can't find a way to do it.

    • I don't have a windows disc so I can't reinstall windows.
    • I don't have a recovery disk.
    • I can't find a program of recovery on the computer Manager.
    • Pressing F11 at boot is not nothing at all.

    Is there another way to factory reset or y at - it another way to reset my computer other than the factory reset?

    Help much appreciated

    / Joel

    Hello:

    If the F11 calls don't work, then your only option would be to buy a set of recovery disc HP for your laptop.

    You can get them by calling 1-800-334-5144, if you live in the USA/Canada.

    Have the serial number of the laptop handy to give to the customer service rep.

    There will be a nominal for the discs, if your laptop is out of warranty - the last time that I had to pay about a year ago, they were sent by first class $ 10.

  • HP ProBook s 4330: UEFI recovery

    Hello world

    Brief history of the problem:

    I tried to convert my dynamic GPT partitions based, changed the code manually and got BSOD when booting, Windows wasn't loading but at least tried to. UEFI (menu BIOS graphic nice) worked very well at this point.

    I booted from a Linux distribution and tried to change the partitions back codes. At this point, something was wrong and I lost partitions HP_Recovery and HP_Tools. Pretty graphic menu missing BIOS, the system has stopped, loading at all.

    I booted from a USB key again and I tried to restore the partitions. My scores are now looking at this:

    MBR (1 MB) - system (300MB) - (400 GB) - unallocated space (46GB) - HP_RECOVERY (15 GB) - HP_TOOLS (5 GB)

    I was able to successfully mount them and check the files - everything seem normal.

    Tried to fix my Windows, started from an ISO and it gave an error "System Recovery Option is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair" while I don't know the version is the same. Tried to install Windows from scratch - turned out he does not see the disk at all (I did not try to inject the drivers however).

    Now, I'm a little hesitant how to proceed. I can't repair Windows because he does not see the drive. I can't go into the BIOS settings, just diagnosis of options. My HP_TOOLS and HP_RECOVERY appear to be healthy but just somehow is not accessible. First of all can I correct my UEFI? But how?

    Some additional information: when the laptop starts up, it gives me standard options F1, F2, F9 (select boot device). Under F9 I see options such as "HARD disk", "Upgrade Bay" and "USB" (if inserted), but both "HARD drive" and "Upgrade Bay" cause a message clear indicating "no found boot device".

    Please notify, any help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well, I guess I'll post my solution here for future generations.

    1. I have recovered and reactivated the HP_TOOLS partition using these instructions:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-notebook-PC-questions/how-to-use-the-HP-BIOS-update-UEFI-utility/TD-p/337347

    2. I backed up my entire HARD drive using the USB external with gparted (debian based) usb live. Then I deleted the corrupted partition table completely, gdisk order if someone interested. I'm not 100% sure but I think I've changed the table of gpt for msdos.

    3. then in BIOS/UEFI - still not sure what it is - GUI Advanced BIOS-as - changed my HARD from AHCI to IDE disc type.

    4. started from ISO of Windows and this time it has detected my drive. Even more, I managed to launch repair and restore all my partitions and bootloader.

    5 tried to run - had a BSOD, but at least it was loading my old Windows now.

    6 a changed type of disk HARD back from IDE to AHCI - and voila! -my old Windows started normally.

    Now he's back in basic disks as I wanted, the only thing all the partitions except air system damaged now. I guess that the Windows repair tool just didn't care for them. It's kinda weird that I was able to read the files on them to Linux and both systems say it is an NTFS partition that is healthy, but it does not look good. Probably, I'll try to recreate it using my backup, but this is already another story.

  • ProBook 4740 s: new RAM not recognized...?

    I have an old but functional 4740 s Probook, always running on 4 GB of memory. Is no longer worth (especially running programs using a lot of memory as GIMP), and with the upgrade to Win10, I decided it's definitely time to upgrade memory. The max memory for this model is 8 GB.

    According to data IO could find online, I bought Kingston KTH - module X3CS / 4G memory, specified for HP/Compaq. I inserted the memory as far as I can tell, but it does not appear as being recognized. I run the Windows memory checker and found no problem.

    Can anyone suggest what I might hurt?

    Memory module specifications are given as follows:

    Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz specific system brand HP SODIMM

    On the Kingston site the Probook s 4740 is not specifically reported as compatible, but they list any of this model. Elsewhere online (IE on thousands of websites of seller) it appears as compatible memory.

    Thanks for any help!

    The most likely cause is that the two modules are not exactly identical.

    It is an essential element of the recommendation that I propose to members who want to upgrade.

    If you want it to run as expected once the new modules are connected, do not mix the types of module or manufacturers.

    Purchase of of another memory identical bar and you shouldn't have problems to start at 8 GB memory acknowledged.

  • G3 ProBook 450 (p5s63ea): Probook is g3 450 compatible bx100 Crucial SSD 120 GB

    I bought g3 ProBook 450 (p5s63ea) and changed 500 GB HDD to 120 GB SSD Crucial bx100.

    And I have following problems:

    (1) bios does not see SDS each time. I tried to reboot several times SDS, place the drive back hard, and sometimes he'll see. If she begins to see I can install Windows 10 on it and if I reboot or shutdown 10 correctly portable windows will see SDS all the time and there will be no problem.

    (2) problem arises when I do sleep for laptop and wake him up. When he wakes he appears with the picture, but hangs and does not allow to enter the password. If I remove the obligation to enter the password after waking up upwards Win 10 wake up in windows, he hangs up after 2 seconds. I tried many solutions, I found here about problem of awakening, but nothing helped.  If he hung up only remains to press on the button / stop for 3 seconds and stop feeding, but after that arrises problem 1 - notebook see SSD with operating system.

    If I install the same copy of windows on the original HARD disk 10, he wakes up after sleep perfectly. Crucial Bx100 has lates firmware mu02.

    Therefore crucial bx100 120 GB SSD incompatible with g3 450 probook?

    Solved this problem by buying a new SSD on slot m2. It seems to work and wake up stable.

  • HP probook 4540 s: dual boot 4540 with SSD and HDD

    Hello world

    Recently, I replaced my HDD with a SSD on my HP probook 4540 s

    Using a HARD drive enclosure, I installed the SSD on the slot of the hard drive and the HARD drive on the DVD drive SATA connector

    the two hard drives have win 7 professional 64 bit

    When I turn on the laptop, the OS on the SSD starts and I see the HARD drive as a storage drive

    Thus, from a material point of view, everything works fine

    now, I would like to use two hard drives with the ability to use win 7 times of SSD and HDD

    to boot from the HARD drive, I tried to change the boot order put the DVDrom before the hard drive, but it did not work

    any suggestion\software tool which may help?

    Thank you very much

    Giuseppe

    @Giuseppe1:

    To do this, you must choose a single installation as the default and change the BCD in this one to include starting in the installation of other.

    Installing Win7 on the internal HARD disk is the best choice because he will always be there.

    That change, download and install EasyBCD from Neosmart Technologies.  It is a tool on the menu to change the BCD.  It is safe to download and use, as I use it all the time.

    Once installed, follow these steps:

    (1) run EasyBCD

    2) click on the button Add a new entrance on the left

    (3) in the section on the right operating system, click the Windows tab, and then select the drive that contains the OTHER Windows startup

    4) click the button Add an entry

    Now when you reboot your machine, you should see a menu with two entries - one for each version of the windows OS.

    Good luck

    I am new to these forums and so don't really know how these words accurately.

    I have a probook 5320 m running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and the function keys f1 = f12 does not work. I read in another forum that you download utility access keys fast hp. I did and thankfully most work, but one that is the most important for me is not for example the brightness keys.

    in another forum, someone entered the services and management of the computer and restarted hphotkeymonitor, yet once I tried this but I had no luck what so ever. all that appears is a small bar which is empty, showing the symbol of the Sun (brightness).

    Can someone help me please to solve this very annoying problem?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Have you installed the Intel chipset installation utility and the applicable graphics driver for your model?

    Normally, the brightness is stuck on max and you can't change it, unless those who are required, the drivers are installed.

    Am I doing something stupid here, but I can't seem to get one of the USB ports on the left side of my Probook to work. If I plug something in to the nearest (to the front) of the two ports, it does not seem to get any power. The back is ok. I looked in the BIOS / OS, but can't see anything obviously wrong, so I am at a loss. Any help to make them go (I'm not quite sure that he has already worked, but suddenly feel the urge to see if I can fix it)
