Opening a DV7 4050ed

I have this dv7-4050ed with a broken hinge.

In other words: the hinge broke out of the envelope.

In order to assess the damage and see if I can fix the thing, I need to open the laptop case.

I unscrewed until something like I don't know how many screws, but of course I forgot something, because I stil can't open the case.

Anyone who knows how?

Thank you very much

Kind regards

  • HP dv7 4050ed does not load BIOS

    Hey,.

    I have a dv7 4050ed as described in the title.

    Yesterday, I tried to update my BIOS to F.29 with sp55299.exe provided by the HP Web site. I did it during the execution of Windows 8 (think that's what has caused this) asuming it would be nice if it wasn't.

    Installer flashed the BIOS and reset. during the restart, the screen didn't come but I could here the Windows startup sound. I gave it a minute but nothing happened so I used the powerbutton to turn the LAPTOP still works, but cela it wont even load the BIOS.

    And that is where I am now: if I press the power button / fans turn and the WiFi and its LED glow orange. He did this for about 2-3 seconds, but then it turns itself off and repeat this procces until I pressed the power button or turn the power off.

    There is no error message (no beeps and no flashing LED) except when I remove both modules of memory RAM of course the error message.

    I tried the things:

    -In the course of running on the only AC adapter

    -Remove the CMOS battery

    -Withdrawal of the RAM modules or placing them in a different bank

    -Windows key + holding B before plugging in the power adapter, and then pressing the powerbutton-> nothing happens

    -Disassemble the laptop everything, but everything went well.

    My guess is that the BIOS chip is damaged, or the motherboard is dead.

    Does anyone know a fix for this? (I tried searching the Internet but the only thing I could find was the Windows key + B method)

    Hello Raven283.  I understand that after trying to Flash your BIOS from Windows 8 you are more able to boot the laptop.  Is this correct?

    Here more information on HP and the upgrade to Windows 8.

    Looks like your thinking is correct.  It seems that the installation/flashing program has not properly run in Windows 8.   Now that flash has no BIOS does not appear to load correctly.  Laptops HP Flash the BIOS via a Windows executable file and do not support flashing via USB key.  So, you will need to contact HP Technical Support to get the book back to operational status.

    You can check the status of your warranty by going here.  Contact HP at 1-800-474-6836 if you are in the USA / Canada.  If you're in another area, you will need go to the Site of Support of HP to get contact information for your region.

    I hope this has been helpful!

  • DV7 Bios Reset password

    Hello

    In order to change some settings in the BIOS permanently this time at startup:

    I forgot the password of the administrator of my BIOS on my HP Pavilion DV7 4050ED.

    At the start I'm pressing the esc key, then F10 and DV7 then asks me to enter the administrator password.

    First it says invalid password and touch OK.

    After 3 trials I get the message system disable and [77005064 ].

    Any solution for this?

    Thanks in advance, have a nice day,

    See you soon,.

  • Photos library question: when I click on the library, it is no longer updated my photos.

    I went through many of the solutions found here:

    • Try to restore default libraries that does not resolve the issue
    • Created a new optimized photos library and he met the same problem, not to display images once clicked on

    In addition, if I go directly to my folder my pictures, I can't arrange the folder by month.  When I select the month, the system just sits there like I never made this choice.

    Any help is appreciated.

    It was an update to this program.  I found the cause are relatively common on a HP Support forum.  Here is the link for your reference:

  • Switching hard drives - urgent.

    I just bought a HP DV7-1450US laptop with the intention of changing the hard drive of my HP Dv2000 which has a burned screen (which currently holds my school papers) in the news.  Now I call HP and they say they won't help me with hard around switching drives unless I'm paying $60 AFTER THAT other employees have said they would be happy to help with switching hard drives, and they said, it would be easy to "work through it."  I don't know squat about computers, and I won't be $700 (or $ 760) in the hole, because technical support can't get their message right. Are really interchangeable hard drives, as HP claims, or they're lying, basically?  They said that it was extremely simple and common practice.

    Yes, you can switch the hard drives, but if you put the dv2000 only in the dv7 is not likely to start or function correctly as primary drive.

    How to get the hard drive out of the dv2000

    There is a caddy (sled) and a connector plastic disk hard dv2000 and you will need to remove them before you can use it in anything else.

    The dv7 allows a 2nd hard drive which is just data storage. Windows is not running. Just put the dv2000 drive in the drive Bay hard 2d empty on the dv7. As indicated earlier, he must strip the dv2000 by car down to its core feature until you can put it in the dv7.

    Dv7 manual

    Look at the Page 56 of Chapter 4. You remove a large flat plastic down with several screws. The inside is empty hard disk Bay. Connect the drive hard naked dv2000 in the SATA connectors in the open Bay dv7. Now, put the cover back on. It's temporary. If you plan to use 2 hard drives in the dv7 permanently you need a second drive enclosure hard dv7 but just a temporary file transfer, you are lucky that the dv7 has regular old SATA connectors and you don't have a trolley or a connector to connect a second hard drive for just a temporary thing. Now return the laptop and fire. the disk hard dv2000 should appear in my computer as a new drive applied as probably 'E '. Just open upward and find and drag and drop your files (documents from the school) for this drive in the primary drive and you are back in business.

  • opening a computer laptop dv7-3080us

    I have a Pavilion laptop dv7-3080us.  I need to open the hard drive bays to install a new drive.  I also need to open the whole, to blow clean the fans, that the unit is prone to overheating, these days.

    The problems are:

    (1) when I try to open the Bay, turn the screw, but does not come, and the cover of the bay cannot be deleted

    (2) for the opening of the whole affair, after removing what I thought were all the appropriate screws, the case does not open

    It is possible that the point 1 a of the implications of the point 2.  If the lids bay (and memory) you have to remove first, that would explain the point 2.

    Someone at - it suggestions?  I really want to get the case open and cleaned before the aircraft is damaged without repair possible.

    Thank you!

  • ENVY of HP dv7 w / Win 8.1 freezes after the closing and re-opening of lid

    Computer: HP dv7 ENVY

    Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 QM 2.7 GHz

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Graphics Card & Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M (worm 331.82)

    Since the passage of Win 8.0 to 8.1, my laptop does not respond to the new entry after the closing and reopening of the cover.  As an attempt to circumvent the problem, in Control Panel (Control Panel > hardware and sound > Power Options > System Settings) I selected 'doing nothing' for preferences "when I close the lid.  After having opened the lid, tab browser fail to loa, windows cannot be enabled/disabled and CTRL-ALT-DEL gives no answer (preventing access to even the Task Manager).  The computer must be restarted to continue in force.

    This solution seems to have worked, even if I do not know why the four actions that were "resolved" by the resolution of the problems of power would cause the issue.

    Thank you!

  • HP CoolSense Wont open more! HP Pavilion DV7 6B57NR

    Hello. I have the HP Pavilion DV7 6B57NR. It has Windows 7 Home Premium. Yesterday I was going to change the speed of the fan through the software of HP CoolSense. But when I click the icon, it does not open. When I click it, it pops up a blue circle, spinning near the cursor for like 3 seconds and then it leaves. Help, please. Thank you.

    Ok. Thanks, but I solved it by uninstalling the HP Support Assistant and put it back again. Thanks anyway.

  • Pavilion dv7 programs closing and opening at random, computer stops randomly

    I have a Pavilion dv7-6154ea running on Windows 7. I've had it for a year and a half now and I just encountered this problem (it started a few days ago).

    The problem is that some programs or files are opening and closing by themselves, randomly without doing me anything. Sometimes even whole computer stops himself. And it's not as if it crashes, it just closes programs in the usual way or stops normally (without any problem).

    I scanned the entire computer for viruses and it is clean. If the problem seems not be caused by a virus.

    One thing that I was doing at the same time when this problem occurred is switchable graphics mode in the BIOS change, dynamics on fixed, by following the steps in this link to The switchable Graphics Mode

    I have a built-in Intel GPU (that to speed up performance) and an AMD Radeon HD 6490 M GPU (that of better graphics) and I wanted to run the PC on the AMD because I think that the dynamic mode has not changed the GPU when I needded, for example for video games.

    However, after a day of opening/closing by themselves programs, I decided to return to dynamic mode, and nothing has changed, so maybe it's also not the cause of the problem.

    In any case, it seems too convenient that the problem happened right after I introduced the Switchable graphics in the BIOS mode, if I don't think it's a coincidence.

    Can someone help me? It becomes very awkward to have a program that I use at the moment of the computer closa.

    Thank you

    sthri,

    It doesn't sound like it's a virus, but it could also be the keyboard.

    Go to start

    Type ease.

    Press enter

    Go to the bottom and click, facilitate the use of the keyboard.

    Check all the boxes and click OK.

    The keyboard will not work, but move and open programs as you normally use the computer and see if you get any errors.

    It is a shot in the water.

    By clicking on the White Star congratulations on the left is a way of saying thanks!

    I would like to know how everything goes.

    Nice day.

  • How to open the latch of the battery on hp dv7-2270us?

    I can't figure out how to open the latch that would release the battery cover.  The latch slides 1/2 way to the left, but nothing comes out.  Is it supposed to drag all the way to the left?

    I see this issue for a year, but do not see an answer to this one, and I have the same problem:

    Wow, thanks a lot!  You're both right, it must push hard to the left and then delve a bit on the battery so that it can appear.  I just got this laptop and like TI - but that had made me a little nervous.  Very much appreciated.
