• What is the maximum power for the hp pavilion a6650f food?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion a6650f running Windows 7 64 bit os. I want to uprade the power. What is the maximum size for my machine?

  Thank you.

  The largest PSU that you can install is a power supply that fits in your case. Is that you can install a 500w unit, unit of 700w. No matter what the power of the PSU is... What matters and is that the limiting factor is the size of the PSU pyshical. Measure the size of your existing plant of PSU and notice the space between it and optical drives... If you get a power supply which, for many, optics and PSU players bump into one another.

• Pavilion a1710n impossible to enter the BIOS from the put in new hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion a1710n desktop initially under Vista Home Premium.  Problem is hard disk came out, I then replaced with a hard drive Western Digital SATA of similar type.  However, now I am unable to enter BIOS using F10 or Escape or by pressing the F1 key turning on the PC.  When I tried to put Vista on the PC, it stopped and gave me an error 0 x 80070002; Lack of D:\Sources\Installation, which I do not know what it means exactly or how to fix it.  I had already updated the Vista Home Premium to Win7 Pro.  Given that the disc is a disc update of Win7, guess I'll have to reinstall Vista first and then update again to Win7 Pro?  At the moment everything I have on the PC is the new hard drive without any Windows operating system and my PC doesn't seem to be reading the new hard drive, I think, and in the Start Menu, it is shown as 3rd master drive and DVD is 2nd Master.  So what happened the 1st master?  No what should be my new hard drive?  I'm always so frustrated and of course, my PC is long out of warranty, although I tried calling support without much help I'm afraid.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello again patticat22,

  Thank you for responding to my message. If I understand your reference Bravo you check to see if you can find a solution? If and it would be better to search for accepted Solutions because they are used to indicate that a solution has been found, where a Bravo must indicate appreciate for a position.

  As for your question, I think it could be a drive for the failure of the installation that you have and recommend you order another set. I'm you provide a link to the HP Support document: looking for HP recovery discs or a USB HP recovery disk?, which has all the necessary steps to guide you through the ordering a new set of recovery disks. There may be a fee for ordering them, but I think this will solve your problem and get your computer back operational.

  So you can try to use the HP support document: removing and replacing the CMOS battery, that you want to remove the battery (keep out 24 hours before putting it again) and put it back. This should clear your BIOS and reset back to factory. If the BIOS is still inaccessible after that, I think it would be best if you contacted technical support HP for repair options.

  Please re-post though I have well understood you or if you need additional support. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

• Replacing the hard drive internal for laptop HP Pavilion zv6000

  For a HP Pavilion zv6000 Notebook with WIndows XP, would be a

  HGST Travelstar 2.5 1 TB 7200 tr / MIN SATA 6 GB/s 32 MB Cache internal hard drive

  be a suitable replacement?

  No, I don't think laptop IDE drives were made in sizes more than 500 GB. And the greatest, I see out there in any quantity is a 160 gig. This 320 gig was great, I could find on eBay right now:

• New disk SATA hard for HP Pavilion Elite m9065.uk, a desktop PC

  I am wanting to buy a new hard drive for my HP Pavilion Elite m9065.uk, a desktop PC. Here are its specs:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01242071

  Now, the material is not my specialty. I know that I need a SATA drive, but I don't know that one to buy? I will be limited to the capacity of HDD can I install it? I would ideally like to 1 TB.

  I guess I can't install a player?

  Thanks a lot for any advice.

  Hello

  Your computer is fairly new, you should be ok, installation of a 1 TB drive.  Older computers may have problems of card motherboard/bios with bigger hard drives.  You can also install a SATA2 drive, but if your motherboard doesn't support SATA drive will just default to this speed (SATA2 is backward compatible).  The player below is to consider.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I think this old laptop HARD drive with IDE interface, so I think the upgrade up to 120 GB should be possible. I think that 80 or 100 GB should be enough for this good old classic.

  I hope you aren't the guy who wants to have 500 GB. :)

• HP pavilion a1710n power supply needs replacement.

  I have an old HP Pavilion a1710n desktop power supply crashed and burned and needs to be replaced.  I've never been on a power supply on this computer before I upgraded memory and dial-up fans in the past.

  I already ran through the list control to full power on this site to confirm that it is food that is broken and needs replacement and no cord or anything else.

  I also confirmed what power to order part.  At this point, I just need to see a video of step by step on how to replace the power supply inside the computer tower or read the good strong guidelines for how to do it.

  Some advice there?

  Thank you

  It doesn't seem to be a video on the site of HP but it is an easy process.

  (1) turn off your computer and disconnect the power supply. Remove the power cord from the power outlet.

  (2) open the casing and place the computer on its side (open side upward).

  (3) take pictures where going to each power cable.

  (4) disconnect all power connections.

  (5) remove the four screws on the back of the housing supply by keeping in place.

  (6) turn the power off (can be a "locking tab" now in place.

  (7) reverse the steps to install your new power supply.

  Refer to photos for the location of the place where to reconnect the power cables.

  My hard drive on HP PAVILION DV6T - 4000 NOTE failed. I need to order a replacement hard drive. Kindly let me know the best option for the same.

  Hello

  This is a technical director of the machine so very little information we can find. He uses this means you can use any standard SATA HDD SATA. If you want to buy the original size and the brand, you can order from HP, or any computer store.

  My suggestion: a WD SATA II 750 GB at 7200 RPM should work fine.

  Kind regards.

• Maximum hard drive size in the Lenovo 3000 N100

  I have Lenovo 3000 N100

  It came with 100 GB hard drive 5400 RPM

  What is the maximum hard disk that can be used. Is it possible to only 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?

  Thanks for the answer

  Abraham

  No, I'm this based on the Avenue of the planets. Kidding.

  I base this experience with laptops cheaper and lower quality supporting better hard disks, processor, etc. etc.

  Also the fact that some N100 configurations included a 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. No reason why will not work a 7200 RPM drive.

  We invite you to seek advice elsewhere.

• What is the maximum allowed by a HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop RAM allocation

  The specifications for an HP Pavilion Notebook ZV5160US (DZ330U) available on HP web site indicates the allocation of eligible as maximum RAM (1x256M, 1x1GB). In the meantime, Crucial downloadable memory scan suggests that 2x1GB is a legitimate laptop SODIMM (2) configuration. Who should I believe; and, in addition, what truth is there for some versions of Windows only benefiting from extra RAM so memory "match" the size and configuration? This laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.

  Thank you, Paul!

  I did not hold much hope of much attention to issues related to this one laptop dated - but I am pleasantly surprised to find that someone was interested to address an issue that may find application even in conjunction with the latest computer models.

  Given your answer, several nuggets of info available on the web (and on the web site of HP) and information from scan of Crucial memory, I will probably go with modules of memory of 1 GB. For sure, current applications can use (and most certainly end up using) all the RAM, you can collect!

• Adding a hard drive to a Pavilion 6000 series computer

  My Pavilion p6210f computer blew a motherboard and I could not find a replacement card, so I bought refurbished HP computer. It seems the same, but the model number is simply: P6000 series. I want to spend the p6210f hard drive into the slot of extension on the refurbished machine. Until I opened the box, everyone sees a problem with this plan?

  I am running Windows 7, so what matters.

  Hello Linda820, here is the link for information on how to remove the hard drive from the Pavilion p6210f.

  Look at the bottom of the page for instructions on hard drive. It is a fairly simple process.

  The only real "shove" the process is the system of lock at the bottom of the hard drive cage. You can see in the photo instructions.

  Since you know exactly on the other HP model, it should be the same procedure to install the disk hard of the faulty system to the recently acquired system, or close to the same.

  You must cable Sata of the old system, given that the other system probably does not have one, and you need to connect to the right of the current hard drve Sata port port.

• Necessary drivers for my HP Pavilion DV7 entertainment 3060 - us laptop

  Oh, why oh why is it so hard to find what I need.  If my laptop was only came with a driver (as used for the supply companies) disc I wouldn't have to spend the last three days trying to understand something.

  Anyway, I need the driver package, all for my HP Pavilion DV7 entertainment 3060 - us laptop.  I need to repair my Windows 7 HOme Premium on my laptop, and she asked the diskette.  Do not have one, I don't know what to do.  Microsoft tells me to go to HP and HP tells me to go to Microsoft.

  I did research for this, and messages from Microsoft seem to be pushing me to 8 which I have on another laptop and I must say it's horrible, so I downloaded the preBeta 10, which already is a million times better, even with all the kinks.  I don't want 8.  I want 7 for another laptop that has my life on it and not open windows and I cannot bare back to factory despite the fact that all my files are backed up.

  I seriously believe the amount of the mentally ill everywhere in that worldwide has quadrupled since the advent of personal computers.

  If there is anyone who can tell me where I can get the disc or download what I need in a simple way, so I don't have to be sent in directions different 1 million, I would be eternally grateful and I ask the Lord to bless your life abundantly for your future remaining.

  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
