No second HD at Pavilion dv7t-4100? Two bays but only a SATA connection

I thought of adding a HD SSD to be my primary and move the existing secondary Bay HD, but I only have a visible SATA plug.  Is it possible to connect a second drive in these cases?

Hello

It is a standard SATA II (or 3.0Gbs) the value.

Kind regards.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100: Pavilion dv7t-4100 came with 90W Adapter, but says HP 65W Web site

    Section of the HP website 'find the right battery or an adapter for your laptop' lists only 65W smart or slim adapter for my Pavilion dv7t-4100, so I ordered the 65W.  But when it happened and I realized that it was smaller than my existing adapter (which has suddenly stopped working), I took a thorough (literally with a magnifying glass) and that he realized was the adapter supplied with the 90W laptop.  I was initially planned a larger than necessary adapter or HP wrong customers?  The adapter I ordered lists this model as being compatible with it.

    Hello

    It's true, when you connect AC and run games you need 90W or even more. The following list shows the 3 types of adapters that fit to your machine (and many more parts for your machine):

    (You can bookmark this page).

    My suggestion: If you are happy with the 65W charger then keep otherwise, use the right piece to get a 90W or same 120W (much heavier).

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

    Thank you

  • HP Pavilion DV7t-4100: dv7t-4100 processor upgrade

    I have my laptop processor ugpraded: DV7t-4100 according to the spefications of the manual.  The model is a DV7T-4100 with a product # WW189AV.   I upgraded to a intel i5 - 460 m to Intel Core i7-840QM processor.  Unfortunately, although the manual says compatibility with this computer model I can't the computer to turn on.  I am a computer programmer and have replaced many before processors on a laptop and this has questioning me the validity of Manual HP.  In fact in the same manual, he said that the computer is not compatible with 16 GB of ram, however, a user on the Board discovered that you can upgrade the processor and in turn, you can then upgrade the maximum authorized place 32 GB memory live.

    A little frustrated at getting no results even after spending all that money on a new processor.  As of this moment with ram old or new ram the computer simply not starts with the new i7 840QM.

    I am aware of the pdf file: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf and page 11 States that the 840qm works for 4000 series to 4299 so I thought it would have worked.  Please let me know o ' wise HP support or maybe someone else who happens have experience about it, I'm stressed out that I might have to return all the parts of my.

    This Forum is still open and available for upgrade issues. We do not work for HP but most of us is passionate about. I will just repeat that these textbooks are not written with the idea that HP is somehow what can be done to upgrade the laptop processors. He was always a gamble, and I always try to tell people that.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100: hard disk failure

    Hello

    I got a Smart disk error, and then I went through the hard drive test, finally got this code:

    GK0468-5AR712W-XD002K - 60A 203

    What should I do now?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Does that mean hard drive is faulty / failed.

    Make your model have two hard drives, or is it only a configuration of hard disk?

    You have to replace the failed with a new similar form factor.

    Any notebook internal 9.5 mm good brand 2.5 inch SATA HDD would work.

    Manual - Page 52-58 for the replacement procedure:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02666747

    If you are under warranty, HP will send you replacement free of charge.

    You must use the recovery media after replacement, to restore factory settings.
    If you do not, you have to order from HP in your area directly.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100: Factory reset when Win7 was removed from the main partition

    I'm preparing this old laptop for sale. I started on a USB key and erased the C: partition where Windows 7 was installed. I then he reformatted to NTFS and set it as the partition active.

    When I rebooted and you press F11 to get to the system recovery, I get a message, there is no operating system on drive C.

    How can I do a factory reset at this point? The recovery partition is still there, I checked, so it's good. I have the ISOs for CD recovery, but I need to burn to disc to use. Is there a way to perform a factory reset of the recovery partition, without going through the hassle of doing this? I heard that there could be an option to boot from a USB?

    Thanks in advance

    Did not work. I guess I need to go buy the CD :/

  • Pavilion DV7t - 4100 CTO with a white screen

    My laptop has a blank screen, but I can see the desktop via an external monitor.  I have not dropped it so I want to see if there is perhaps a cable connecting the screen LCD, but have no idea how to do to remove the cover.  Any suggestions?  I am currently on a trip to Central Asia and can not get the service for it, but I'm pretty handy if I understand just the thing to open the lid.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    If you can see the normal desktop with an external then post it mght be a loose connector or a liquid crystal display has failed.

    To access the connectors to display that you will need to remove the keyboard and the upper part of the envelope that the keyboard is connected.

    There is no need to try and remove the cover of the display.

  • Pavilion dv6-1050us battery charge but not showing as connected after bios update

    I have a Pavilion dv6-1050us, and before the update of the bios as recommended by HP my charger would show in the taskbar as well as the battery is charging and it has been plugged in as well as the led at the front left side of the laptop.  Since the update of the bios load icon in the taskbar does not display and the led light that recharges the battery watch is no longer turns upward.  I know it's power goes to the battery because the battery shows 100% remaining and unload only after I unplug the power.  Is there a way to restore the bios to the previous version, even if the bios has been flashed by the HP program uses?

    My antivirus program will not scan weekly it is when the system thinks it is running on battery power.  I have to manually start the scan myself.

    Help, please!

  • Two cameras, but only we work at the same time, need help

    I have exceeded the posts here, but not found answers to my type of problem.  I have two WVC54GCAs both have static IP on my local network addresses and I can see them both very well from there.

    I forwarded the port for one to 47624 and the other in 47625 in my router at home and in the configuration of the camera, I specified to use these other ports instead of the default port 80.  When I work and try to view them on the internet by their ip address and port # (e.g. http://22.22.22.222:47624), I get a time-out error, but I see one if I go to 22.22.22.222:80 port (even if the port that I specified in the configuration of the camera was another port).  I used dyndns open port testing tool (http://www.dyndns.com/support/tools/openport.html) that shows 47624 and 47625 are both open ok.

    I can connect to my router on the work 22.22.22.222:8080 and the router logs show the dyndns tool connected to the router via these ports after the test.  I was using a Netgear router and thought that might be the problem, so went out and I have a router Linksys wRT54G2 to see if it worked better, but have the same problem with the Netgear.  Here's the weird part, if I go into the router to work and change one of the cameras to pass to port 80 instead of the other port I would fix for it, I can see that the camera on port 80 despite the camera config always configured to use another port.  So when I remove the first camera port 80 in my router and change the other to port 80, I can see the other as good as this.  I have Comcast as my ISP and a Motorola SB5100 cable modem and can't understand why I'm able to raise over the internet using the spare port settings I specified.  I have spent a lot of time on this, I'd appreciate any help or other suggestions on how to make.

    As far as I know, all Comcast modems are just bridges... no firewall in them at all... The other possibility is that your IT Department at work blocking traffic... have you tried this in any other place outside your local network?

  • Backlit keyboard for dv7t-4100?

    I need to replace the keyboard of my Pavilion dv7t-4100.  Is it possible to install a backlit keyboard, i.e. the connector present backlight on the motherboard on this model?  If Yes, what is the part number for the backlit keyboard?  I heard of people install backlit keyboard for other models.

    By pulling on the maintenance and Service guide that I do not see any option of backlit keyboard ever made for this model.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02666747.PDF

    When it comes to finding some kind of alternative (alternative/modding parts) better would be to consult the forums of notebookreview.com for any additional information, but from personal experience, that backlit keyboards, there is a year needed a source of additional energy to light making it a little difficult installation.
