Pavilion dv6 - 1350us: dv6 1350us 240 GB SSD not recognized by BIOS ver F.41

Hi all

I want to replace the stock 340 GB hard drive SATA with a 240GB SSD but the BIOS does not detect the SSD drive. Here are the specs:

HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook - dv6-1350us (Intel - Core 2 Duo)

BIOS - Hewlett-Packard F.41, 12/11/2009

SSD - Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Model # MKNSSDCR240GB-DX

This laptop is currently in operation with no problems. It has been upgraded to Windows Pro 10 and all the latest updates installed - it's just very slooowly. The SSD, I try to use is checked 100% working. It detects and is accessible by other computers and works very well in a USB/SATA attached to this laptop docking bay. The SSD has been deleted, including the protected EFI & system partitions - IOW, it's completely empty - without walls.

I am capable of (old) drive image hard work and save it on an external USB drive. The image size is 110 GB and includes data, system and recovery partitions, so it fits on the SSD. When I install the SSD in the laptop there is no option to boot from it so I guess that it is not properly detected in the BIOS. Nevertheless, with the SSD installed, I can boot from a Windows 10 'repair DVD' and get to the point where he's ready to recreate the image. However, since the SSD is not detected in the BIOS, it just gives me an error and dumps me.

I want to update the BIOS to see if it helps but I can't launch the HP flash/upgrade BIOS updated SoftPaq (sp54629.exe) on Windows 10. I get a UAC error that says: this app has been blocked for your protection. An administrator has blocked the delivery of this application...... sp54629.exe... Publisher: Not approved

My question: if I restore the old o/s Win7 (original) of the partition recovery and then run the update of the BIOS SoftPaq under Win7, it will allow the BIOS to see the SSD? I don't want to waste hours until I can be fairly certain that the problem will be solved by upgrading the BIOS.

Thank you in advance!

Update: still no solution to this problem of HP. 5 hours wasted. Had to install temproarily old hard drive from the laptop in order to reinstall Win7, as well as all the crapware HP forces on us all, the recovery of the DVD because Firmware HP update software does not work with Win10 - THANKS HP! Anyway, it did not help the problem at all. In addition, I tried a SSD of SATA-III (Samsung) different with the same results. HP has to pay a bunch of 12 years to write BIOS of their laptops. Well, time to throw this laptop HP in the landfill. HP - never.

  • Laptop HP Pavilion dv6 - 3016 s: USB (device not recognized) problems

    Hello

    on my laptop (Pavilion dv6-3016sl, bought in 2010) for a few months the USB connections give many problems with different devices.

    The first issue with the key external communication 3G (ONDA TM201) Internet: the USB key (which has worked for many months) is not recognized. I tried to reinstall the software and drivers (get the latest version from the website of the producer), but it is always unclear correctly.

    The visible in USB Device Manager error message is "cannot start (code 10) machine.

    Recently other USB devices have ceased to be recognized: powered USB Hub (HAMA USB 2.0 Hub 1:4, bus) and the Wired Optical mouse (Logitech).

    It is also not possible to install new USB devices (for example, a device of wireless sync to a cuff of training).

    I've done many controls of Microsoft on the integrity of the system, and I frequently run the Windows Update to be aligned to the latest version of the fix.

    You have any suggestions to analyze/fix this locking problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Moreno

    I know this may seem a rather harsh to suggest method, but at this point, I suggest backup of important things on your laptop computer to online storage. This is because you can use the USB storage for the moment.

    Once you have done this, it's time to locate your drives support usb recovery and licenses of all other programs that you have installed or recovery.

    Start on the recovery media.

    Use the HP Recovery Manager to perform a factory image recovery which will reinstall the operating system.

    Since you say that the usb ports work under Linux, then reinstalling the operating system Windows needs to solve the problem of usb port that you are experiencing.

    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?

  • Pavilion dv6-3080si: HP Simplepass does not display a logon to the internet connection screen

    I use the Pavilion dv6-3080si. After a clean install of WIN 10 pro I installed HP fingerprint reader and the HP Digital Persona of HP simplerpass driver & software for my portable computer product number (HP identified automatically the product). There is no problem to connect my laptop. However, when I try to configure the password for Web sites, such as for example my Bank, it does not work. There is a small icon that appears to scan fingerprints, and he said "It is not a logon screen" though I am to the logon screen.

    Some recommendations published by members of Forums Support HP, I installed the version of HP 4.5.228.0 and worm 6.0.10.276 Simplepass fingerprint reader and even once, I found myself with the same problem. No idea why it doesn't work? Is there a problem with Win 10 and IE 11?

    Thanks for you help. However, I installed Authentec simplepas worm. 8.01.11 sp 66143 and fimgerprint player ver 4.5.228.0 MS 66110. Everything works perfectly now.

    Hi, I have a HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej, and I want to use the on-screen display to see, for example when the volume when I turn upwards or downwards (also for changes in brightness and so..).

    I looked in programs and features in Control Panel and I saw that I have the latest version of the driver (version 1.3.5).

    I couldn't find the actual prgoram to the start menu (I don't even know if it exists).

    I tried to download it again so I can try to uninstall and install, but the file is not found, using this link:

  • SSD not recognized, in-house or Via USB

    Very long story, there are similar positions here but other situations are not the same as mine or the answers do not explain things very well.  I am trying to replace the hard drive in my MBP mid-2010 with a modern SSD, the manufacturer said it is not formatted (say you need to get in shape first of all, in response, saying that their operating system does not recognize in some way, shape, as is my case).  When I put it in the internal drive Bay I get the big "?", sometimes alternates between it and the icon of the Apple and the circle with a slash through it (which means indicates that it has not recognized connected equipment).  I bought the cable I need to connect it via the USB port, I have the original hard disk to another external drive that I intend to use to keep my saved MBP, I want to clone the original to the new SSD hard drive, then try to boot from it.  I'm sure I have format the SSD drive, but how can I do if it is not recognized?  When I connect it outside of a Windows machine (7) it is recognised in Device Manager (but not in my computer).
