Pavilion dv5: if I can reset this computer?

Well, until recently, I found an old hp laptop to my father and he let me keep. I know he has had some problems in the past, so I went online and found ways on how to fully factory reset, I tried many tricks and tips, but none match the menu or options. What I'm trying to understand, is how to CORRECTLY and accurately factory reset Pavilion dv5, which runs on Windows 7 Home premium.

Hello:

Here are the different methods you can use to reset the PC.

If none of those working, you will need to order a set of recovery disc for the specific model dv5 you have.

  • Pavilion dv7: no internet after resetting the computer

    I don't know if I am posting this in the right advice.  I had to do a reset on my Pavilion dv7 laptop, kept my personal files, but now I can't access the Internet.  It shows that I am connected to my wireless network, but I can't go to all the websites that I go into my browser.  I went to Device Manager and went to network adapters.  I can say that the driver works fine and I don't see the warnings or errors on other drivers in Device Manager.  I am at a loss of what to so any help would be appreciated.

    Hey @Esoxdiver,

    I understand that you are experiencing you encounter some difficulties to connect your laptop in WiFi and I want to help.

    Here is a list of steps that solve common problems with wireless connectivity.

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Network power cycle:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an Ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the document.

    The above steps are presented by @Great-Christine-Tree

  • Pavilion DV5-1015nr: How can I activate the connection Wireless on laptop DV5-1015nr?

    After upgrading my laptop DV-5-1015nr (x 64) from Vista to Win 7 wireless switch (just above the 'Insert' key) stays red, no matter how many times I press on this subject. In Device Manager, I see the Networl cards drivers I installed Win 7' work properly': Broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi - Fi (sp45524) adapter and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Realtec v7.003.0213.2009).  HP does not offer a x 64 driver for the latter, so I got it from Realtek.

    Here are the steps I've tried so far:

    1 makes sure that Windows Explorer has been implemented.

    2 start-> Control Panel-> Network Sharing Center-> manage network wireless-> add-> manually create a profile network-> used the settings on my smart phone which is able to connect to the Internet:

    ~ Network name: 52GT6

    ~ Type of security: WPA2-Personal

    ~ Encryptiontype: AES

    ~ Security key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    ~ Start this connection automatically: Yes

    ~ Connect even if the network is not broadcasting: No.

    3. click on 52GT6-connection > tab-> select as follows.

    ~ Automatically connect...: Yes

    ~ Connect to a more preferred...: No.

    ~ Connect even if the network is not broadcasting...: No.

    ~ Activate the WLAN connection setting: Yes

    4 OK.

    I click on 'Connect to a network' and receive a notification that "no connection is available. Running a diagnostic feature of "Troubleshooting" reports that the 'wireless capability is turned off." By pressing the switch wireless does not turn on the wireless feature.

    I went to this problem all day. Anyone able to help me?

    Hello:

    First, install this driver update wlan...

    Hello again Otaku.

    Sorry for my delay.  I was out of the office.

    It really depends on your warranty situation.  You can check the status of your warranty here.  Even if you are not in the security for costs which are incurred would be minimal, and these drives are incredibly useful to have.  Then, I highly recommend that you buy a game if you don't have any.

  • Pavilion dv5-1111ax computer laptop processor AMD RM-74 substitute/replacement/upgrade at level

    The RM-74 processor is fried.  I get the 2 flashing lights all 3-seconds to 1 second.

    I searched the AMD site for the likely replacement candidates and found a number who share the following General charactistics:

    Mode of operation (32 & 64 bit)

    Socket (S1)

    Basic speed (2200 MHz)

    (3600 MHz) system Bus speed

    Power consumption (35W)

    AMD virtualization technology (Yes)

    The processor RM-75 has identical to the RM-74 specifications so wouldn't be of any benefit.

    ZM-82 has a larger memory cache L2 2 MB as opposed to the cache of 1 MB on the RM-74 and 75 CPU.  These 3 CPU have a SELF architecture 65nm and ZM-82 seemed to be a better performer in flow with the larger L2 cache.  Doesn't it?

    2 CPU is AMD Phenom II Triple and quadruple-heart N850 and N970 respectively.  They have a 45nm SOI architecture and a 512 KB L2 cache.

    It would seem that one of these 2 CPU would give me a performance gain as a substitute for the RM-74 failed, but, if this can be a reality in my laptop dv5-111ax?  Would need more robust cooling as well?

    This is the page for HP support for your laptop HP Pavilion dv5-1111ax Entertainment and this is the HP Pavilion dv5 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide for your computer. Based on the service guide, the following processors will work in your system;

    HP p/n 484260-001 - Turion Ultra Dual-Core 35W ZM-86 2.40 GHz processor with 2 MB of L2 cache

    HP p/n 484261-001 - Turion Ultra Dual-Core ZM-82 35W 2.20 GHz processor with 2 MB of L2 cache

    HP p/n 484262-001 - Turion Ultra Dual-Core ZM-80 35W 2.10 GHz processor with 2 MB of L2 cache

    HP p/n 484263-001 - Turion Dual-Core 35W RM-70 2.00 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache

    HP p/n 484264-001 - Athlon X 2 Dual-Core 35W QL-60 1.90 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache

    This list is not exhaustive but representative of processors installed by HP. Given that all these CPUS are of the same series/carrot, I highly doubt that the Phenom II Nxxx series processors will work in this model. In theory, plus the model number... the best performance in the series. You should not need a cooling solution better, as all processors are rated at 35 watts TDP.
