Laptop HP G70-120EA

Hello

Can you tell me if I install a new hard drive on my HP G70 can I switch to 64-bit Windows?

Concerning

Fred

Hi, Fred:

The specifications of product for your model indicates that there is an Intel T5800 processor that is capable of running a 64-bit operating system.

Yes, you can install an operating system 64-bit on your laptop, but I'd stick with Windows 7 x 64, unless you have Vista x 64.

Windows 8 has problems with your model (audio usually does not work).

I also recommend maximum memory removed the 1 GB module and its replacement by a 2 GB module if you have not already done so.

64-bit operating systems require more memory and disk space to run efficiently than does a 32 bit OS.  Not double, but more.

Probably better than a 64-bit operating system will run an OS with the same amount of memory on 32-bit (up to 4 GB).

But try it with 3 GB you have and if you think that the 64 bit OS does not work at height, then increase the memory of 1 GB. This will help a little. The memory will also operate in DDR mode with modules of 2 x 2 GB memory, where it is not now.

Best regards

Paul

    Graduated BIOS on a laptop g70-460us and now a window opening in the lower right of the screen that says, "attention!" For maximum output to connect an adapter of capacity sector higher' ideas of what to check or do?

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I did the hard reset and turned on the laptop but as soon as I had signed up on the rest of the message to appear.  I read far more and saw that some users had uinstalled the Quick Launch Buttons software and the message stopped popping up.  I checked to see if my laptop was even buttons and it does not work.  Then, I checked to see if HP offered the software for download in case I need to reinstall.  When I saw that HP was offering downloading I uninstalled the software of the Quick Launch bar and no more pop up message.  Thanks again.  I guess that the bios upgrade had some effect on this software.

  • G70-120ea: G70-120ea upgraded to 64-bit Can I put more than 4 GB of memory

    I have a laptop, G70-129EA and wanted to put more memory in it. I know the specs says orginal max memory it can use 4 GB but is it because its running 32-bit windows?

    If I switch to 64-bit can put more memory in it? Say 8 GB or 16 GB?

    (I know it has dual memory slots so can put 2 x 4 GB etc)

    It is an older machine using an older type of DDR2 memory. City of repair:

    Supports up to 4 GB of memory system

    Support PC2-6400, 800 MHz and DDR2 PC2-5300 667 MHz, DDR2

    4 concerts is a hardware limitation, not caused by 32-bit Windows. Some other similar portable HP at this time will run 8 GB of DDR2 using the same combination of processor / chipset. When the laptop has been done 4 gig of DDR2 memory modules were quite rare, so the manual just may not consider this possibility. However, 4 gig of DDR2 memory modules, although available, are very expensive. A kit of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of any brand with a good reputation will cost more than $100. 16 GB of DDR2 is not possible as there are no 8 GB chips. It is not worth to this laptop to go beyond 4 GB in my opinion. Run with 4 GB of memory on 64-bit Windows and pass that same $100 or even less on a SSD 240 GB and you'll get the speed you are missing him.

  • HP G70-111EA: HP G70-111EA laptop Core2Duo T5800 processor - development options

    Hi all, I have an old laptop HP G70-111EA (product/reference: FX432EA #ABU) with a 360 C 09.67 circuit (to be honest, I have not been able to learn what it means in terms of a system or motherboard) and a Core 2 Duo T5800 processor,.

    I would like to try to upgrade the processor and or anything else that I can, to try to upgrade to Windows 7, or 8 if possible... or even to try a Linux OS like Ubuntu based (as the limitations of Windows 7 and 8 will follow the 'end of the support for the operating system... as in Vista' and disappointing from my favorite Win XP loss!).  And the problem is, I can't find anywhere that identifies the exact specifications of the motherboard, cpu socket set, FSB material and possible cpu upgrade speed limits options, etc. etc that are possible... or at least reasonable for the existing hardware.

    I downloaded the maintenance & Service Guide for the model, which shows a "processor Intel Core 2 Duo (6 MB of cache L2, bus 1066 MHz front)" can support a "T9400 2.53 GHz", but was really hoping to go beyond that, because it is not much better than the current T5800 2.0 GHz (2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB).

    Memory options seem or PC2-5300 667 MHz, DDR2, 667 MHz, PC2-6400 DDR2-would be the limitations of memory modules motherboard, or any other material restrictions also prevent the change of the memory and change from 32-bit to 64-bit in order to increase the current limits of 3 GB to 4 GB of memory... or is it a fixed limitation built into the system.

    Basically, I'm looking in any way I can increase the performance spec, any help or advice on this would be appreciated.

    See you soon

    The guide shows the T9400 as the top processor of the page. It wouldn't surprise me if a T9600 or a T9800 would work, but I can't guarantee these processors, and there are still enough expensive of course faster than ever. I had a laptop with the T9800 a few years back and it was pretty quick. I also just refurbished two older laptops with T9400 and with a SSD in them that they plow 10 Windows without any problem.

    The max memory is 4 GB, and you can use all of this, if you are running a 64 bit OS I recommend. Even if you are running 32-bit Windows, with two identical modules will alow so to run in dual channel that the sytem can take advantage on a 32 bit OS and memory transfer is about 10% faster and every little bit help.

    Yes, you can use aka PC2-6400 DDR2-800. Memory clock will always be 333 mhz (667 double) and no 400 mhz (double to 800). DDR2-800 is much more widely available.

    Please post back and let us know how your project went.

  • HP G70 laptop

    Hello!

    I have a laptop HP G70 PC is 4 years old and the HARD drive is in very bad condition. I would like to replace it with an SSD, but I'm not sure that the Wistron 360 motherboard supports SATA III or not. I tried to find specifications or manual, but found nothing.

    Any help welcome

    Here is the link to the product for your model specifications page.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01606481

    I can tell by looking at the plug, it has a Mobile Intel 4 series chipset, which means that the drive works the hard drive at a maximum rate of 3.0 Gbps (SATA II).

    See page 3 of the form below.

    Two Serial ATA host built-in controllers, each with transfer rates of up to 3 Gb/s, SATA support ports four for the increased storage capacity and speed.

    http://www.arrownac.com/services-tools/design-tools/arrowedge/parts/2009/vol1/PDFs/intel_core2_duomobile_intel_express_chipsets_product_brief.PDF

    I installed an Intel 330 SATA III SSD in my HP Elitebook 6930p which has the same Mobile Intel Chipset as yours and it works fine.

    Still a big improvement over the mechanical hard drive and if I ever decide to get a new laptop, I have SATA III SSD to work with the new drives SATA III there.

  • G70-111EM - wireless works only with Windows 7 Professional

    Dear users,

    After 1002 in the factory reset error and not be able to solve this problem. I decided to buy Windows 7 and install it on my laptop, G70-111EM.

    The problem I have now is that I can not can not to wireless internet with.  Wired LAN connection works fine.

    When I press the wireless BUTTON next to the POWER ON BUTTON Wireless market (normally lights up BLUE) OFF wireless connection (normally turns orange).  His watch currently AMBER when I keep it pressed it turns BLUE but after a few seconds goes back to amber.

    All the drivers are installed and control panel shows no conflicts.

    1 has anyone had this same problem.

    2. How can I check what the current wireless hardware I have in the laptop.

    3. If someone can help me with how to know the details of the hardware I can try and find the right driver for this hardware.

    4. I'm going tonight know the name of the driver that is currently installed as part of installing windows 7.

    INFORMATION ABOUT WINDOWS AFTER TRYING TO REPAIR

    ATTENTION: the download of the software/following links are only for laptop HP G70-111EM! You can find the download appropriate for your specific laptop here: LINK

    I am sure that I have the solution for you! And I'm quite depressed by the inability of HP, its employees and support their policy update

    So, there are some steps to follow, to get your Wlan rerun. To be exact: you could 'fix' in one step! But please use my complete guide, step by step! So here go us:

    1. first of all, you must use the latest version of the Bios (January 2011): update of the HP Bios

    2 run 'Windows 7 Mobility Center' by pressing the 'Windows key + X' or via your control panel (HowTo).

    3 here you can see a section 'Wireless Network '. Can you turn it on, by clicking on the button? Or is it greyed out and disabled? -Let me guess: you can not click on the button, it is grayed out? ...   Because I am sure that you could not improve the situation with previous measures, let's go on.

    4. download the HP Quick Launch Buttons for your laptop and install it.

    5 restart.

    6 always: any improvements to date? (I guess: no!)

    7 as a next step, download the HP Wireless Assistant and install it.

    8 restart.

    9 now the most important step - revive us your wireless network: click on "Start" (Windows logo), enter "assistant wireless" in the search field and select Assistant HP wireless list.

    10 upward and running, you should see your device wlan under "wireless devices installed:

    Click on 'Properties' and you will see ~ 4 boxes that you can check/Enable. One box ISC 'independent controls for wireless devices. Make sure that this box has a tick inside and click on apply, then when you return to the wireless assistant there should be a box that says "light" click here and my wireless turned blue immediately. However...

    11. .. . If the "Turn On" button is grayed out (yet), you have just to press the orange-light-without wire-hardware button on your laptop once. After a few seconds, the color of the 'Activate' button should change its color and you should now be able to click on it!

    I have it?

    I have this problem, too. My laptop (Presario CQ-60) HP has also incorporated this Atheros wireless card.

    Try almost everything that I'm still not able to reproduce the situation that suddenly off the wireless card.

    I suspect the energy options of Windows to disable the wireless card, but I'm not sure. That's why I disabled all options regarding the WLAN to save energy. This means that in advanced of ALL power management options you have prevent energy saving on the network WiFi Windows and in Device Manager stop driver wireless in its properties to disable the card in order to save energy. Here is a step by step guide:

    Once again: I don't know if this can help. So give it a try.

    Aside from that is not a real solution, it is only a workaround. Hewlett-Packard could not help me either, they just sent me a new wireless card. In addition they me too (as mentioned above), to reactivate the wlan module in the Bios - BUT here the same power options: there is no such option cause they cut down the Bios extremely * argh * that makes me angry!

    For ME, it is clear as mud: there is a serious bug! Whether it's a Bios, OS, wireless card/hardware or a driver/software problem is hard to say. But proposals to uninstall and reinstall the driver of a news/other/more late/old/whatever are worthless. It seems that a command indicates to the wireless card to turn off completely. And a new driver, or a restart, Windows Mobility Center or a handstand can revive - only the HP Wireless Assistant (and a complete new installation of Windows 7 for as far as I remember)!

    Interesting is also that if you turn service wireless using Windows (Windows key + X) Mobility Center, can't revive using the HP wireless Assistant, but only with the Microsoft tool. And as we have seen it is the same vice versa. But why? It's so absurd and unnecessary complicated. In fact, I never had installed HP Wireless Assistant under Windows 7. Therefore whenever this occurs, install the HP Wizard to get rid of this annoying bug. But I don't want to have this additional and unnecessary software on my PC.

    In addition: the bug persists.

    Hewlett-Packard, it's your turn!

    PS: I'm done with Microsofts Atheros function of the window update driver. In my case it connects faster than any other driver found on the internet (I also tested those on the Czech Atheros unofficial site)...

    PPS: Hope I could help

  • I can activate my laptop bluetooth?

    I don't think that my laptop - laptop hp g70-111em - is compatible bluetooth.

    If I'm not mistaken, can I change this by the downloading of any software / adding a new part / the use of any technology product?   No matter what?

    Please help - I have a new bluetooth device purchased specially for syncing with my laptop, but only now discovered that my laptop cannot be compatible bluetooth...  Thank you!

    Hi NickC71,

    You can find USB Bluetooth adapters on the web and in some stores.

    An example (do not recommend) would be http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DY07T4/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001EBE1LI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0Q4HR5JK9SBVE7759XXP

    The adapter will probably come with software so that you can enable/disable BT in the software and manage the connection.

    Hope this helps

  • Fan continues to run

    I have a HP G70 120EA with windows vista Basic.

    The fan on my laptop running constantly at full. Usually the fan works intermittently throughout the day and is usually quiet, but right now, it runs non-stop. The laptop isn't overheating and performance is not affected, but the fan should not be run as this the

    I installed an update of the BIOS but that did not solve the problem, can someone help me?

    If you have had your system for at least 6 to 12 months, then it's to the point where it is probably enough dust and particles have put in the fans and filters and ducts begin to affect the temperature of system operation. If your fan runs constantly, it is more likely, especially if you don't have not kept the contributions and blown exhaust every two weeks or more. Laptops can draw in a lot of dust and dirt, especially for the people who use them on their "towers" and not on a surface hard as required to ensure ventilation and aeration. The contributions of the laptop fan are on the bottom, the exhaust usually in the back corners. No matter how clean your environment may be, clothing & skin particles, hair, dust, dirt, you name it and it will get finally inside your system. For most laptop computers, depending on the size, happens between 6 and 18 months, usually about 12-16, until they begin to have problems because of the dirt and debris inside heating. Generally, the system, faster it builds, but it also depends on how many times it is used.

    Particles and fibers of clothing are especially a problem, and also why you should never use your laptop on your lap. One, it blocks the water intakes and two most of the clothes are made of a mixture of cotton, cotton is a great heat insulator and something you do not want inside your system. Bare skin is as bad or worse, because it contains particles of skin, hair, and other things that you don't normally see that can enter your system.

    You can try first blowing the contributions and exhausts - they'll be obvious dust around them. Blow it when the unit is running. Realistic but, ultimately you have to shoot the cover and keyboard to pass inside to do a good cleaning/rash to accomplish real. If your fan is where it is to run all the time, then you're already at this time here.

    There is a common HP Support newsletter which is linked to the Page to support your system and many other systems which covers this issue:

    Reduce heat and the fan noise by cleaning the air vents

    The fan runs constantly, the PC is running more slowly than expected and generates heat

    To remove the cover and the entire keyboard, the library of HP Services shows you the procedure and a video demo on exactly how to execute the instructions to remove and replace the different FRU (CRUS). While it doesn't specifically tell you how to perform preventive maintenance functions (something that I suggested that they add), you can use it to remove the cover and remove the keyboard to switch to the fans and ducts to blow off the dust.

    HP SERVICES MEDIA LIBRARY

    HP SERVICES MEDIA LIBRARY, 100 SERIES NOTEBOOK FRU G70

    It's really not as hard as you might think. The done key to keep a good which screws go where, and for novices, there are some easy ways to do so.

    1. some use a muffin Pan - I don't personally like them as a professional. All it takes is for you, your child, you dog, cat, lizard, whatever, Knock off the table and that you're "screwed" literally while you die in agony, I look at each screw you have removed go flying in all directions.

    2 parts case - use a medium of plastic parts, number them with a marker and write on paper where screws for each numbered compartment. Leave the cover on the door closed while you work. Better, but still not great.

    3 Ribbon and paper - my favorite. Get a roll of blue tape of 2 ". Detach a strip long enough to cover a piece of paper or poster board and bend back the ends, tape on the surface with the sticky side. On the paper/cardboard, note the location of the screws etc and paste each screws/part of the band. When you remove them, sticky substance does not stick, but it is strong enough to hold small pieces very well.

    Of course I did it for so many years I do not use anything but my memory, because they are all pretty much the same. But if you never did, using one of these systems can really help you to avoid a catastrophe.

    Air - use air canned and have at least 2 or 3 boxes available and be in a room that has a fan to blow off the dust outside or at least away from the system. USE a vacuum cleaner on any electronic system - laminar airflow at the end of the nozzle does NEVER extremes of static electricity that can literally destroy components. ESD rated vacuums are very expensive, so don't even think about it. Non-conductive tips are not as effective either - it is best to avoid completely, but you can use them at a distance to suck all the dust you ripped. I have always used a HEPA filter or a fan to blow out the dust or vacuum dust of any system I've been working on at the time, so it's not aspire back when I am done.

    I say having more than one can air because the propellant becomes useless after about 30 seconds of spray, until it warms up again. Unless you want to spray and keep in waiting, so many in order to use one, then another one like the other retrieves.

    Make sure you only keep your system connected to an electrical outlet also while you do this - you don't want it powered of course, but have plugged it into a grounded outlet gives you better ESD protection when working within a system. Never touch an exposed electronic component unless it is on his side, or if you're also well grounded.

    You must also download and install HWMonitor, a monitoring program internal system convenient and widely used. It measures the temperatures of all the key components and fans. You can get it on http://www.CPUID.com

    This, you should get repaired. I know that this seems to be a chore, but it is easier than you might think and a lot cheaper (and safer) that leave some bozo at best buy or somewhere else you charge hundreds of dollars for it, and you can bet money they'll find something else elsewhere just dust.
