Pavilion 17 t: how to replace a hard drive in the laptop M7H89AV model

I recently bought a HP Pavilion 17 model t M7H89AV with i7 processor. Oem hard drive is very slow and I want to upgrade to an SSD samsumg evo 850 500 GB. I'm looking at the bottom of the case and I don't see a special slot or the area to remove to replace the drive. It seems to me that the bottom of the laptop come off in one piece. serial number [personal information deleted]. This hard drive is not replaceable?

There are no manuals for your model. Here is a youtube video showing access hard drive on a very similar model. It's in German but it moves slowly enough so that you can follow:

https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=uDAKRL86IjU

You can see the hard drive at about 07:45 in.

Take you top down, not the bottom. Technically, the hard drive is not extensible part of the user and security is at risk if you open it. But HP said it's OK to upgrade to an SSD as long as you don't damage in the process. If you do, you're on your own.

  • I need to replace my hard drive on my laptop. How can I install my apps on the new drive without having to pay another subscription

    As the title of the discussion. I will replace my hard drive on my laptop to improve performance, which means reinstall my Photoshop/Lightroom and Bridge apps. How can I go about it without having to pay another fee to subscriptio?

    Simply install them again.  You are allowed two active installations at the same time.  If you have already used, the installation process will tell you that and whether to disable one of the facilities as soon as possible.  Say Yes.  If you have not installed on a desktop as well, then open Photoshop on this system.  If it has been disabled, tell it to disable a previous installation, as you did with the laptop, and you should be OK from there.

    Pull on the Combo Module FPC Connector.
    Then the Module Combo will be fired, you can easily out entirely easily Module Combo

    Remove the system status indicator Panel. The status indicator panel is designed to snap into place. Do not use excessive force to remove or replace.
    Remove the four screws now the keyboard in place.
    Now carefully lift the keyboard, placing it face down on the touchpad. Ensure that you n t damage the Ribbon attached to the keyboard cable.
    Remove the two screws (screw M2, 5 + 4FP) secure the hard-drive.

  • Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

    My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

    Not found boot device

    Please install an operating system on your hard drive.

    Hard Drisk (3F0)

    F2 System Diagnostics

    "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

    I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
    "HDD test failed.
    There is no hard drive.

    I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

    SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

    It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

    Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

    Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

  • How to determine which hard drive makes the rattling?

    Sometimes I hear the hard drive makes clicking, get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
    replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

    I get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
    C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
    dying.

    2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
    computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
    who is dying.

    3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

  • How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

    I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

    If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

    You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

    You have two problems: hardware and software.

    Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

    The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

    If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

    More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

    If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".

    Currently my hard drive (750 GB) is having a problem. I have a spare hard drive (500 GB), I can replace the 750Go with the 500 GB hard drive using the recovery disks that I created when I got the pc?

    500 GB could be sufficient to allow the recovery discs, you did to work.

  • How can I wipe old hard drive from the laptop of computer death without jeopardizing the new laptop?

    I got a laptop HP who died - apparently the motherboard is bad.  I have to return the laptop to HP for replacement.  I bought equipment to connect the old hard drive to my new laptop via a USB cable and have recovered files that I need, but I want to erase the old drive hard until I got back.

    There seems to be a lot of variation in the hard drive, programs wiping, and I was wondering if someone could point me to one that could fit here.  I am concerned about the running software on my work to access the old hard drive and accidentally damage my portable hard drive to work laptop.  Who is?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Hi Jenny_812,

    You should be able to as long you are sure to pick the right drive for formatting.  See the following article:

  • Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
    Thank you
    jm75uk

    Hello

    For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

    I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

  • Qosmio G20: How to replace a HARD drive

    I would like to replace the second HDD with a bigger and use the one replaced as a clone backup of my system drive.

    Just did the cloning and want to insert the clone as 1 HARD drive for testing purposes, but I don't know how to do really what.
    Where the hard drives and how to open the laptop, but how to remove and insert are described in the manual?

    There is a flap/bracelet plastic (sorry no native speaker) that looks like you have to shoot.
    Tried a bit of pull up, but I dare not.

    Would be nice, if someone has already done this and could explain it to me.

    Hello

    Since the disk HARD in the computer is connected to a special connector, Don t you need not worry. Simply, enter it gently and swap the drives, nothing great will happen.

    Just trust yourself and shoot the thing, it will go with just a little resistance, but he died.
