Pavilion 17-G084ca: Y at - it a 2nd HD slot in the Pavilion 17-G084ca

Just bought this new laptop, like it a lot, only concern is the somewhat slow HD, want to add a SSD hard drive, so need be sure that there is a 2nd HD slot before I opened the cover, seems that it is not easy to open for this model LOL...

There is only one hard drive Bay. See the manual here:

Manual, p. 36

It is not an easy task to access the hard drive Bay, but can be done. An SSD would be a valid upgrade and is probably a requirement to have a usable on these models, but the process computer is probably best done by an experienced technician. The warranty is a problem. If the computer is messed up in the process HP will void the warranty but if you remove the guarantee still applies.

If you need more help post back.

  • dysfunctions of iMac early 2008 2nd memory slot

    I tried to upgrade my iMac in early 2008 by adding a 2nd memory card in slot 2 with a correct map of OWC. also badly hit by installing Apple's original card for slot 2 & OWC in slot 1. When a card is installed in slot 2 the hard drive just repeatedly whirs & stops in quick succession. I tried the compressed air for the eruption of dust. Either card works well in location 1.

  • Can't access 2nd HARD drive on the Pavilion p6220nl?

    I had installed a second HDD SATA in my Pavilion p6220nl desktop computer by unplugging the DVD/CD player with its SATA data and power cables.  He succeeded and I was using my regular hard drive so my new drive to HARD drive for several weeks.

    Once my new SATA cable arrived, I tried to reinstall my DVD/CD player that I had also only 2 SATA power connectors.  Instead I tried to use very low power for the new HARD drive connector.  Result, I can not access my new HARD drive.  I tried back (i.e. unplugged my DVD/CD drive again and using this SATA power connector instead) and it still won't go.

    I updated my BIOS and tried everything I can think of, but without success.  If anyone can help?  Is there indeed a Molex Pin 4--> adapter SATA connector?  Could I have ruined my new HARD drive with the two small connector and power cables attached SATA power connector?  Is there a specific SATA ports they need to go in.

    Currently the situation is now:

    SATA Slot 0 - drive DVD/CD (data cable connected only)

    1 - usual HD SATA connector

    SATA connector 2 - new HARD drive

    Slot SATA 3 - empty

    Appreciate any advice or assistance.

    Thank you

    As you said, you had it working. Then attached a unknown thread on the disc. Now, reconnect to a wiring known, that worked. Don't know, don't worry. The car was damaged. Sorry!

  • My 1st tab is opened in Unicode mode, but the 2nd tab opens in the West - WHY? Need both in Unicode.

    My home page has two tabs; the 1st is Google.com and the 2nd is webmail.juno.com.
    When I opened in IE8, the two legs have the Unicode (UTF-8) encoding.
    When I open it in Firefox, the 1st has encoding Unicode (UTF-8) BUT the 2nd tab has ALWAYS WHY Western encoding?
    I always have to manually go to View/Text Encoding and change each time.
    IE8 does automatically - how can it be fixed in Firefox so the two tabs always open in Unicode?

    The following extension (that I have not tried because I have not noticed any need for it) has been updated lately, so there could be more compatible with the changes about the characteristics of the extension for Firefox 40-41:

    In an old question, I asked about adding a second 'home' icon I could randomly onto the toolbar since the old old thubber it is more than that.

    At some point after this forum question - that was not answered - someone offered me an add-on that would provide the 2nd type of House, but in B & W icon. No one knows about it? I can find it is no longer. Thank you all.

  • 1. is there an add-on to add a 2nd 'Home' icon in the toolbar?

    1. in a previous version of Firefox 3.5.x there is an add-on called Throbber Button 1.1 that allowed me to have a 2nd icon that would take me to the Home Page. Is there a replacement for this app for worm 9?

    2. is it possible to colorize the arrows "go back and go forward"?

    3. is it possible to have the 'new tab' in the Navigation bar that allows you to be near the X on each tab?

    Thank you very much. I appreciate your response.

    You can double-click or middle-click empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab.

    It's just no longer in the context menu of the tab bar.

    There are comments that the Throbber Button extension works in Firefox 4, so you can try to raise the maxVersion in install.rdf to see if it works in the current version, as well.

  • Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

    Hello

    My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
    I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
    is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your experience of return.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
    The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

    But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
    You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
    After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

    I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

  • Portege M750 - 2nd HARD drive in the Bay select instead of optical drive carrier

    I just bought I used Portege M750 because my M700 was broken. Unfortunately, the berries to choose between the two models are not compatible. Although the availability of a 2nd drive hard trolley is mentioned in the user manual, I couldn't find the part of the disk for the M750 caddy. I tried a standard SATA-SATA HARD drive caddy, but I get a message "select Bay error" at the start, although the caddy runs under windows, as long as you do not hibernate.

    Does anyone know the part no of the real 2nd hard drive for Portege M750 caddy / M780? Or is there another 2nd carriage of hard drive that works with the M750 without restriction?

    Hello

    I guess that you will need a hard drive caddy part number: P000452980
    Then you could place this in the Toshiba Ultra Slim PA3408U-2CTE and PA3408U-1ETC HARD disk adapter

    But you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country to get a confirmation...

  • Re: Satellite L650 PSK1JA: cannot read 2nd life due to the old GPU driver

    Hello

    I have a windows 7, Toshiba Satellite L650 PSK1JA 0K 4017, ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 video card and I m unable to use second life (everything in the universe is a pink color) and its unusable because I need a display driver updated

    I tried the AMD site and am unable to install their drivers as they say that they are not compatible and I need to get my driver from the manufacturer (toshiba)

    Problem is that the Toshiba display driver is very outdated 15/03/2010
    When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.

    Why is the old driver. ?? If I can fix t this problem I'm going to buy a new laptop and it certainly won't be a Toshiba again. Useless, if they update their drivers.

    > When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.
    I put t when drivers will be updated, but there is a workaround to install the driver AMD/ATI on Toshiba laptop. You must do so via Device Manager.

    First you need to download the driver and need to save it somewhere on the HARD drive (IE desktop). Unzip the package. Then, go to the Device Manager, choose the graphics card and choose Update driver. Now, we must choose the 2nd install option that allows you to point to the downloaded folder and choose the location where the driver must be installed.
    Then point to the driver folder saved on the desktop and the system should pick up the files automatically.
