issues update HP pavilion dv7 - 6157cl

Currently, I own a hp pavilion dv7 - 6157cl and want to upgrade my memory of 8 GB and the least 1 TB HD. I tell myself that I'll do when I tear apart my laptop apart to replace the cooling fan (strange though - I have a Compaq laptop (which is supposed to be a lower end of the line of HP, but it is more more than 3 years old and the fan is still going strong and even a much older and lower end bridge without any problem of fan - go figure!).) I upgraded my card from a G to a Compaq Wireless N and learned that HP/Compaq white lists for some parts that would allow only some manufactures parts to use. Is this true also for memory and hard drives?

As the memory goes - what are the specs (I know they are DDR3) but what is the specs of the speed of the memory being used. Being that it's 6 GB I assume that there is a 4 and 2 GB key installed, but as I went through the standard to which it is faster to have the two sticks of memory, the same capacity and speed. I also imagine that extra memory would also improve the part of graphics memory graphics system.

I'm also going to replace the HD 640GO at least a 1 TB drive - is there a good program to clone the internal drive to use a bigger as a replacement direct without having to reinstall. The cloning process would be simplified that currently buy external USB 3.0 drives 2.5 inches is less expensive than buying discs from barebones (a 2.5 drive "1 TB Seagate can.) I guess if I had a 2 external to partition 2 will I go 1 TB but the way in which the external 2 TB 2.5 "anime it would be worth the cost.

Finally - these questions are there some made for memory and the HD which are in the 'white list' that can be used. Any information would be appreciated.

The allow list does that wireless. I could bore you with the details, but it has to do with not applicable to anything else the FCC regulations. You can use any hard drive and memory of compatible configuration and specifications.

    Hey @dct1954 ,

  • SmartDVD needs an update on Pavilion dv7 notebook

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with windows 7 and I just recently tried to play a new blu - ray disc in my drive and every time I do a window pops up asking me if I'd check updates "Yes or no", when I click Yes the window disappears and it seems as if the disc is required to play , but the Update window is displayed again. Y at - it an update which can be downloaded off HP site to avoid this window? I have played all my other blu - ray in this player and have never had a problem before.

    Hello

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Some say that you could restore the BIOS using factory default values with this. Here is a document that shows you how to restore the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop.

    Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

    Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

    I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

    What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

    However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

  • Pavilion dv7 3162nr: upgrade of updates to driver for laptop after Windows 10

    I'm looking the latest driver updates for my particular model, and is not on your website.  I have upgraded to Windows 10 and keep the problems with my computer not to wake from standby or hibernation. The only way for me to 'fix' it is to stop completely from the computer, open the applications and all.

    Here's all the info I have my specific model.

    Can someone help, please?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    There is also no update the BIOS of your PC.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!  To restore all the features, you will need to do a reset to factory using HP recovery media to its original operating system pre-installed.

    However, if you are determined to stay with Win10, pilot alternatives, you can continue below are...

    You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

    You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/

    If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

    If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    Good luck

  • Pavilion DV7-3165DX, Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter, communication and incompatibility issues

    After much research, I decided to buy a Pavilion DV7-3065DX. Then, I walked to my local Best Buy to say the 3065DX had been abandoned and was no longer available for purchase. However, the 3165DX, his successor had arrived and was very similar to the previous generation. After a brief discussion to justify the increase of prices with myself, I gave and was sold.

    Within hours, I was in College, trying to connect to the WiFi network without success. After several hours becoming more and more frustrated, I decided to call it closes unexpectedly. Rushing home after class, I plugged the new Linksys WRT160N, I had also bought wireless router and configured on my desk. Once completed, I tried to connect using the new Pavilion. To my surprise, it worked! (And no problem whatsoever no less). So, apparently, the wireless adapter works, but does so only on some networks.

    A week later, I tried to connect to a number of public and private WiFi networks of different types with limited success. Most importantly, I am able to connect to my home network, but not to the public networks in my college or city libraries. At one point, the Office for my college indicated that my WiFi adapter is one of a handful of cards on the list of incompatible devices to their network. As it was to buy the laptop in the first place, I am extremely frustrated.

    I turned to the support pages of HP for a solution. I considered a update driver despite the use of the HP Wizard to keep abreast on all software downloads and updates. To my dismay, product for the Pavilion DV7-3165DX page lists of Broadcom WiFi adapter, which does not correspond to my hardware (Atheros AR9285). What's worse, is that the manufacturer's website offers no driver downloads to customers that its site is adapted directly to product manufacturers.

    At this point, I'm increased and not sure what to do. I am already attached to this laptop. Apart from the war with his fingerprints on its black and shiny chrome surfaces shiny, the problem with the Atheros WiFi card is the only problem that I had. I hate having to go through the ordeal to return, and I do not think that this problem requires the sending of the product to HP for repair. Furthermore, I believe that if it came down to one of those, I simply return the product and find my way to another product by other manufacturers in total.

    This certainly isn't the experience I had hoped with my first purchase of HP.

    Any suggestions?

    I have the same question... However with me the solution wasn't in the pilot. I spent 3 hours on the phone with technical support, try to understand.

    What it comes down to say that Atheros AR 9285 is a shi * ty wireless card. It supports 802.11n Protocol, but only 2.4 GHz (the same as the b/g frequencies). My Cysco wireless router was broadcasting 5 GHz Wireless-N and AR 9285 was not able to detect it. Once I changed the router settings to allow 2.4 GHz Wireless-N Networking, the Atheros card was able to connect under the Protocol N. However, the maximum speeds of 2.4 GHz card are slower than 5 GHz card.

    I wish they would give an option to choose what wireless card to install in my laptop. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm always done what they me screwed on.

  • Pavilion dv7-1110eo: HP Pavilion dv7-1110eo error after update BIOS startup

    I've updated the BIOS (it is now Hewlett-Packard F.49) with a download from the HP Web site. I wish I had not done that because it's my portable patient. When start it freezes and the only thing that I see is black screen with HP logo. No button works.

    Later I discovered that BIOS itself is not the problem (I tried to get back the old version for a long time without success), it is the connected USB devices or USB ports, don't know. My laptop starts normally and works perfectly if I remove all plug-ins USB until I press the power button. After the black screen is passed I can plug the USB and they work too. I wonder if any of you ever faced this kind of problem...! If you have and you know how to solve this problem, please help. (Finnish HP customer service couldn't help me).

  • Pavilion dv7-6b55dx: loss of internet connectivity wireless with Win 10 update

    I have a Pavilion dv7-6b55dx notebook with Intel Centrino - N6150 wireless network card. I've recently updated to Win 7 to win 10 64-bit.  The first negative consequence is the deactivation of my wireless internet connection. The without wire/switch market stop on the keyboard is more worked as planned but simply tilted airplane mode on or off.  I followed HP troubleshooting for wireless connectivity problems associated with Windows 10 improvements, including the reinstall the NIC driver wireless, without any positive result.  It seems that 10 Windows does not recognize network N6150 map.

    Anyone know if there is a fix for this problem (Microsoft? HP? Intel?) In the meantime, I came back to the Windows 7 operating system.  If there is no patch or another solution at this moment I may decide to go with a wireless USB adapter, but prefer not to do this, if possible.

    I did not have a facility clean, but simply ran the standard upgrade ensuring once again I did it using a Wi - Fi and ethernet not.  It worked very well - fully operational wireless connectivity.  Thanks for pointing out the importance of having wireless enabled when you upgrade!
