• Helps to remove the HP Pavilion Desktop Hard Drive

  So recently I bought your desktop HP Pavilion from Best Buy a few months ago. Thing was running great until this morning, when the hard drive has suddenly decided to go belly and FRY on me. I called HP Support and they are sending me a free HD to replace the bad, but I need to remove and return them. No problem, I think I'll open the chassis out. Little I didn't know...

  I really don't know who designed this thing inside, but to reach the screws to remove the hard drive is almost impossible for someone like me who has no specialized tools. I got two of the screws, but the front rear one I can barely see and even less to reach, and I don't know there's a fourth that I can't even imagine reaching. I hope someone can give me something special or a detail that I'm missing that will make this possible, if not, I am at a loss how to proceed.

  Here is the info on the machine:

  HP Pavilion Media Center

  Product: KT334AA-ABA

  Model: m8530f

  If it is necessary, I'll post a picture of her womb. If anyone has any info that can help me to disassemble this beast, I would be eternally grateful!

  You must insert the personal media at the front of the computer player. Remove the front panel, remove the screws which fix the cage of the front's personal media players and pull the Green tab by dragging the cage in the front. You will then be able to easily remove the drive.

  Do not hesitate to call HP, they will be happy to help you with the installation of the replacement drive.

• HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 CTO: new hard drive Help

  Hello

  Laptop was not start at all or take 15 + minutes to start.  I did a full reset by removing the battery and was still stuck on the Hp logo.  Conducted quick system check.  All passes except Hard Drive short DST check: failed.  Failure ID: GGFFTX-7407SB-MFPV6J-60V103 product ID: F6G93AV

  Date of purchase was 08/05/2014 so out of warranty & cannot get help from support.

  I guess I need to replace the hard drive?  Is this correct? I need not recover files or data of the machine, so from own is fine.  I want to upgrade to windows 10 once I get it - the initialization of the disorder began when I tried to upgrade, then machine evolves to 8.1.

  How can I find the specifications to order a new hard drive to make sure that I get the right thing?  Currently the car is ATA & 500 GB. Machine has Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60 GHz Machine is not a touch screen.

  Of course, I'd appreciate any help someone could pay before ordering something.  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 59 for hard drive replacement. Unfortunately, yours requires a bit of work to get on the hard drive, involving a removal of the top cover, but not the motherboard.

  You definitely need a new hard drive and the system will accept any 7 or 9.5 mm thickness 2.5-inch wide SATA hard drive or disk solid state drive.

  I'll assume that you are located in the United States, unless post you back and let me know if not.

  I settle down to less than a mechanical drive of 7200 RPM like this:

  You can also make a hybrid that has a bit of the State solid and also tops mechanical like this:

  The best and fastest are a SSD drive like this:

• Pavilion a1140n HARD drive replacement - help

  Hello

  250 GB (SATA) hard drive in my house crashed. I bought a replacement SATA HDD, but hit an obstacle in replacing the wrong drive.  I can remove a side panel to get to the screws holding the drive in place, but can not get the screw on the other side, as the Committee seems to be fixed permanently in place.

  Clues as to how to proceed?  I have a good image backup and a new HARD drive, I can't just physically replace the drive.

• HP Pavilion DV6-3041TX drive HARD failure and possible design Intel series 6 Chipset problem

  Hey guys

  I saw corruption serious hdd on my system for some time now and was just move to replace the drive hard when I came across the problem of design of Intel® chipsets. Now, I think that my system is the range of serial number for this question and as the current drive does not start, I can't check the Device Manager to see if the chipset is one of those affected.

  Is there anyway for me to check this from a USB bootable or something similar, because I don't want to have to go through the effort to replace the hard drive and reinstall windows just to find the chipset is wrong?

  Thank you

  (Now, this is my first post on the forum if I appoilgise if I've got this in the wrong place)

  Open the door of the memory on the bottom of the laptop and look under the memory for a number of motherboard.

  You should have the Intel HM55 chipset, but we can be sure that if we know the motherboard part number.

  You should have one of these two tips:

• HP Pavilion DV6 1225ee: Upgrade Pavilion dv6 hard

  Hello

  In fact, I want to spend my hard drive laptop, but before that I would like to know if my laptop support SATA III or not?
  I want to install this model: Western Digital Black 2 Mobile 2.5 inch dual drives - 1 TB HDD + 120 GB SSD
  It's the hybrid hard drive and work with SATA III (6 Gb/s).

  My laptop model: HP Pavilion DV6 1225ee

  Can you please help me in this case?

  Thank you

  Your laptop uses an Intel ICH9 Southbridge chip, which is capable of operation SATAII (300MB\s).

  You can still use SATA600 HDDs, but they will be compatible down and don't use the SATA specification of your laptop sata controllers motherboard are capable.

  Hybrid disk hard mobile compatibility with your laptop is unknown. Most people upgrade laptops equipped with SSD and existing hard drives.  You can avoid the uncertainty factor by installing a legacy hard drive or an SSD.

• Possible to move the Pavilion DV5 hard drive to the newer model?

  Hello.

  I have a little old (but LARGE) laptop - DV5 - 1133ca (FS036UA@ABC) that has intermittent problems with the display.

  It blinks and goes sometimes totally blank.  Then I plug in an external monitor and continue to work.  A few days later, he can work or not.  Fix sometimes repositioning the screen slightly with the hinges.  I'm sure it's some sort of cable inside or something.

  In any CASE - due to time and complexity with the upgrade to a new laptop (reloading programs, etc.) and the daily use of it - I was wondering if it was possible to buy a new laptop HP OR a model slightly more recent HP Pavilion (IE. Dv6 and DV7 with a little more power) and simply swap my hard drive.

  I understand that I would have probably to update many of the drivers - but in general would that work?

  Y at - it or the particular models that I should consider to mitigate any possible problems?

  Is this a good solution?

  Thank you for your help in advance.

• Internal laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl - drive Options

  Greetings,

  I just bought a HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (Costco), and so far it has been a lot of things. Everything seems to work very well.

  Because I do a lot of development in virtual Images, I ran a number of hard factors external to the laptop in the two weeks since I've owned (including an external SSD). All this seems to work well.

  But, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to install a second hard drive or SSD in this model of laptop. I saw on the HP site that some laptops allow for the installation of a second hard drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest he can handle such a configuration.

  My main objective for doing this, it would be to keep the original 1 TB hard supplied with the notebook, but perhaps a DSS secondary drive to run the paging activity from when this type of functionality is necessary when running some of my larger virtual Images.

  Any help to clarify whether this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.

  See you soon,.

• HP Pavilion ZD7000 hard drive expandable to SSD? Compatible?

  I'm looking to upgrade a HP Pavilion ZD7000 (P/N: DN730AV) for Windows 7 Home Premium, including equipment upgrades memory to 2 GB of storage, and I would add an SSD.

  Two questions:

  Q: a solid state drive is not compatible to this brand and model of laptop?

  Q: If so, the BIOS would require upgrading to support the SSD drive?

  Thank you!

  There are several problems with you try to run Windows 7 on this 10 year old material. The video (nVidia Geforce FX5200 GB) card will not support Aero desktop effects and is known to be buggy in Windows 7 with all the drivers from nVidia available. Second, the hard drive is EIDE, not SATA, so there is no available AHCI mode. AHCI is the only way to get excellent performance of an SSD. There are EIDE SSD. And they do not provide a performance increase, but nothing like what you get with modern machines with native SATA (AHCI) support.  It can use 2 GB of RAM which is memory DDR333. It is a single core Pentium 4 processor, and frankly, there are many cell phones on the market with as much computing power.

  128 GB PATA (EIDE) SSD for $175

  64 GB for $80

  The problem with the SSD isn't the BIOS, but the basic material. Here is the service manual you'll need if you decide to go forward. The laptop is great and pretty easy to disassemble. It could be upgraded to a 3.4 ghz Pentium 4 very easily for a little money if you have a slower processor installed. This would to some extent.

• Difficulty finding display pavilion dv6 6190se driver

  I have a pavilion dv6 6190se and I can't find an update of the display driver in HP support and when I download the update from the AMD website, it does not. This site was last updated is v8.882 and I can't stand win8 and it goes back to 2011-11-18. is it possible to update?

  Hi AhmadRJ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it's a great place to find answers. You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that there is not a graphic driver for the DV6 6190se and Windows 8.

  Windows 8 has not been tested on your laptop. This does not mean that it won't work, just that the result is unknown.

  Download or update of software and drivers for HP computers

  With OEM products, sometimes the drivers are modified to work with a specific system.

  This is a driver for Windows 8 that you can try. Sp59383.exe.

  I hope it helps.

• HP Pavilion DV6345US hard drive upgrade, 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA 1.5 Gb/s

  Hello

  I need help on upgrading my hard drive on an HP Pavilion DV6345US.

  The hard drive is a 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA - 1, 5 Gbps.

  I would like to replace it with a drive of 500 GB - 7200 rpm or 500 GB - 5400 RPM.

  But I have read that HP Pavilion DV6499 or less may have difficulty using a 7200 RPM drive.

  That means that a 500 GB drive to 5400 RPM can be used,

  or is the limit of 320 GB 5400 RPM or less?

• HP dv7 6b51ea: hp dv7 6b51ea, install second SSD hard drive HELP

  
  

  Yes, the cable's owner. HP recovery will not install the software from the factory to a 256 gigabytes as the SSD drive, you want to buy. I understand perfectly what you want to do and I try to help you to do so after doing it myself several times. In the hope of you help get through the common pitfalls.

  This is the cable you need on eBay UK:

  Now let's work on getting to the supported Windows 7 installation if you install it on your Virgin SSD. You are going to need some sort of media set as an external hard drive. We need to get the HDD 1 TB in the Bay of primary and get Windows 7 running on it. The HP recovery disk will work for this.

• Pavillion dv6: hard drive DST short test failed

  My HP Pavilion dv6 laptop fails to load Windows.

  HP Diagnostics

  hard drive failed the short DST test

  RSGJ7H-5RU7JA-XD0141-60R803.

  Product ID of my laptop is XD575EA #ABZ.

  What it means?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Error code 24 characters for the failure of disk Self Test (DST) short would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This corresponds also to the inability to load the OS.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  Kind regards

• HP Pavilion dv9500 hard drive, speed + other problems

  I time it has mine HP had some problems

  I rebooted with installing windows 7 again.

  Then I get a lot of problems, it was the hd which gives the problem

  When I look at true hd, I saw that it is not the normal SD but SATA 7 connection

  I have two vertex 3 60 GB SSD and they go instead of hd perfectly.

  The problem is the connection to this SSD

  I have this good connector?

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/SATA-hard-drive-connector-adapter-for-HP-Pavilion-DV9000-DV9500-dv9700-/2612...

  This SSD will work with the HP Pavilion DV9500?

  This SSD is perhaps to fast for HP? Maximum transfer for hp is 1.5 Gb/s, I think

  How many MB is it?

  When I install Win7 with latest drivers.

  laptop processors work around 50-70% without any program is launched!

  I worked more then a week to find new drivers, why HP not with a program to update this driver is automated? The HP update works not at all, he said, everything is ok. But with a pilot programs, it finds more then 40 drivers unupdated!

  I see mine laptop with 2 GB of ram, startup, there are already 90% used.

  Is it not better to change the ram to 4 GB? because it's only $ 28

  What is the good ram?

  http://www.eBay.com/BHP/PC2-6400-DDR2-800-MHz-RAM

  When I give mine for problems HP laptop I recover it with a working DVD drive step.

  The DVD player can read compact optical disks but not read or write DVD.

  What can I do?

  Can I change the DVD player. Are their sold somewhere?

  You have a lot of questions here. Firstly, Yes, the connector of the drive hard eBay is the right and it will work on any SATA including SSD drive. I think the DV9500 and more it is SATA 2 (3 gb/s) interface, but it's not really important. A 60 GB SSD will not be enough space.

  HP does not have updates of driver for this machine for quite a while. I wouldn't too much stock in these update pilot programs that you download from the Internet. Indeed, they often contain spyware that could explain why you have high CPU utilization. If you can give me the exact model number or at least tell me if it is an AMD or Intel version we can get better drivers. The pilots of two wholesale to be aware of are the chipset and video drivers. If you have the AMD driver chipset nVidia processor must be specifically responsible. Windows it will not pick up. You definitely need at least 4 GB of RAM, and Yes, you use the DDR2-800 SO-DIMM. Also, you should install 64-bit Windows 7.

  This is a DVD burner. The façade can be a different color, but you can reverse your.

  Easy to replace. Just return the laptop and look for a screw in the center of the bottom panel. It will have an icon of disk beside him. Remove the screw and slide the drive.
