Pavilion Dv7 - 3125sf BlueScreen and [disk hard Test failure]


Hi James,

I would run the DST short test on the hard drive again.  If it still does not respond, it is you say that there are areas of the drive that don't work anymore - that is to say that they cannot be written to or read.  From my experience, it is the beginning of the end for the HARD disk, because over time, areas more and more the reader will go the same way.  The speed and the magnitude of this decline is impossible to predict, but it will happen.  So to answer your question, I always install a new HARD drive, although as long as you do regular backups of your files - (make two backups so that if the drive has completely failed when refreshing a backup, you will always have the other is)-you can continue to use your existing drive until it becomes unusable.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

    My HP Pavilion dv7 is not started Windows and I couldn't start in the start menu. I used menu F2 and not had a test drive. But there is no short DST. 0W7UWM-5B570Q-XD003A-60UP03 I. Product ID XZ031UA #ABA

    Does that mean I need a new HD? If so, what is good for my computer and how do I get windows 7 back? I still have to buy it?

    My laptop is 2 years old.

    You'll be fine with that which is recommended to David or that I've recommended. Between my post and sound, you have all the information you might need.

  • "Disk hard test" failed

    My laptop was not starting and then to a system diagnostics page, advising me to do a hard drive Test. I did, and then he led me to a screen saying:

    "Disk hard Test" failed

    "Hard drive 1 SMART" (301)

    "Hard drive 1 QUICK" (303)

    'Hard drive 1 FULL' (305)

    Diagnostics of the system... and then it just says: tests of f1 - f4.

    What would the next step from here? I'll try some of the different tests.

    Thank you, Leah.

    Hi Lea,.

    All error codes (301 is a Smart failure with 303 & 305 respectively being the short & Long drive Self Test failed) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

    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, please let me know - include the full model number and the laptop Nr - see here for an explanation.

  • Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

    I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed. They worked up to 32% and then stopped.  I took the laptop and recovery (6 discs) disks to the tech Department of another retail store. After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

    Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional

  • DV7-4280us - Bay of disk HARD 2nd vacuum has no visible connection to a 2nd HARD drive.

    My laptop Pavilion DV7 and previous DV8 had two bays for HARD drives, one of them wired to a hard drive, but not containing is not a hard disk at the time of purchase.  I expect the same thing when I ordered this Pavilion DV7-4280us, which is, I think, made in China, but I have not the same.  This one came without visible connectors for the hard drive, I had already bought to install into the empty Bay.  My Technical Support call made me advice to buy a disc kit hard (with caddy & connections) from HP, as if the receive connectors were available in the drive Bay HARD vacuum.  I didn't not agree because (and the next two paragraphs I added so that the well-intentioned forum members continue to give me the standard answer for laptops which actually have the usual connectors & waiting in the drive Bay HARD 2nd vacuum.  I appreciate the two forum members who have offered help so far, but there is no need to waste more based on my failure to clarify the problem):

    There is NO METAL NAKED INTO THE BAY VOID that COULD CONNECT a HARD disk.
          UNLESS A NEW CONNECTOR GOES TO THE MOTHERBOARD HARD DRIVE, IT IS USELESS FOR THIS COMPUTER.

    Each HARD drive connector I've seen only connects the HARD drive to a connector in the HARD drive Bay.

    The connector of the latter reaches the motherboard, and that the connector does not exist in this 2nd computer HARD disc Bay.

    Even if I could get a cable to connect a HARD drive to an unused connection & waiting on the M-Board, I can't M-Board.  M-Board is inside a barrier which could be called the bottom of the laptop - external surface of the portable computer.  (Battery and bays for HARD drives are outside the confines of the current computer, the value in their own hollow spaces in the bottom panel, with secondary coverage on the hollow spaces, i.e. the bays for HARD drives and storage media).  I looked for a way really open the casing and expose the M-Council connection for 2nd HARD drive (IF it exists); but I didn't know how to do it.  It is clear to me that this is not intended to be a facility run by the user. But I would if HP (or maybe even a 3rd party who made it) provided some good instructions.

    I'd like to think that HP did not make this change to the line DV7 laptops to double HARD drive, and that the Chinese manufacturer made the change without approval or even knowledge of the management of HP.  I want to believe that because he was, at best, a really stupid thing for HP to the customers who pay for the best HP can provide.

    So my questions are the following:

    1. The motherboard in this computer still has the ability to manage a 2nd hard drive?
    2. If 'NO', then HP would be willing to take over this very disappointing computer in Exchange to a DV7 which is equipped with HARD drive connectors available in the 2nd, empty, Bay?
    3. If 'YES', then
    4. HP or someone else would be willing to provide connectors, and instructions for me,
    5. OR install the missing connection to the drive for me, Bay
    6. While, in both cases 4 or 5, I can install a HARD drive in the Bay, empty 2nd drive reasonably, I expected when I ordered this computer?

    All my apologies and thanks to KaLin0908, who responded so quickly and helped me realize that my original description was not clear enough.  I hope that my changes to clarify the problem have not ruined the tone of my call.  I'm aiming for "clear and grateful."  If this revision reads as Loud or Yelling or abrasive or anything else bad, I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve it.

    I have the same computer.

    At first seems like you say but

    If you look carefully the second Bay of hd, you will see 4 small holes

    Those who are for the hard drive caddy, you can buy that and it's expensive

    You should also buy a hd cable, but be careful, there must be about 5 inches long

    The cable for 1 hard disk does not work

    One end goes on the hard drive and the other going to the MB. The connection is planned

    for the memory modules

    The kit costs about $ 45. If bought at hp and about 35 if purchased by another company

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=345

    This will give you an idea of where/how the screws connect to the caddy

    4. connect the housing inside the laptop

    Your English is very good.  The smile.  Unfortunately, it's the only language I speak, so we are limited.  Can I use Google Translate if you want / need to send information in your own language at home.

    Problem webcam and HP SimplePass troubled can be tricky - when they don't work, it may be easy to fix - or terrible and difficult to understand.  I hope I can help.

    ===============================================================

    The camera can be other problems.

    The Support of your laptop troubleshooting Web site section:

    HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx laptop / troubleshooting

    Help for Webcam / camera:

    Article > Webcam / camera

    Look at this document for help and suggestions:

    Laptop HP, Touch and PC AiO - Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

    What happens if nothing helps?

    It is possible that the tiny wires in the camera are broken.  If nothing is done to fix the camera, you may need to consider that the wires that connect the camera to the computer are loose or disconnected (broken).  If that's true, in other words, if the wires are broken or disconnected, the webcam / camera will not work.  This isn't good news, but this is not cheap having fixed.  You can take the computer to a local computer repair center, the confidence of having this kind of work.  HP can also do this repair.  If you have the skills, you can do the repairs yourself.

    ===========================================================

    HP SimplePass

    Reboot = redΘmarrer

    HP SimplePass is sensitive to "other software" on the computer.  Everything must be "up-to-date" and ready to go.

    For example, you want to have your update of the .NET Framework, you want to have your updates from Windows Update (in the last month or almost) and you want to make sure that you do not have a shortage of pilots.

    For example:

    Page driver your computer laptop Support site:

    Category: Software - security > HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection

    sp57232.exe

    Category: Software - Solutions > HP framework

    sp56878.exe

    The short answer:

    Preparation

    • Stop all programs: browsers, games, Applications, etc.

    Control Panel > display icon > System > System Protection >

    Select (highlight) your main drive (C)

    Click on Create a Restore Point

    Installation of the driver and HP SimplePass

    • Download the Driver of sensor of validity on your computer:

    sp56403 validity sensor Driver W7 - 64 bit V4.3.301.0

    • The pilot will probably download in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the driver of sensor of validity by 'double click' on the name of the file
    • Restart the computer and log in

    Next

    • Download the version of HP SimplePass program 5.4.0.402 on your computer:

    sp58600.exe

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
    • Restart the computer and log in

    See if you can get HP SimplePass program to start

    ===============================================================

    HP SimplePass Version 5.4.0.402 is an older version of the program SimplePass.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work for everyone.

    There is a newer version of the HP SimplePass program drawn up by the same company (AuthenTec) that might work.

    If you want to try it, follow these steps:

    • Download this program:

    sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

    HP Envy 17 17-1190 ca,.

    Failure of HARD drive in windows error.
    Error reads:
    Windows detected a hard disk problem

    -> Start the backup process

    -> Ask later
    Which drive is a failure

    The following hard disks are fault condition:

    No major change except the recorded images and visit the different websites before this error occurred. Use different Wifi access than usual the night before that I was visiting a friend.
    I also did the backup under windows has proposed, as well as fact the HARD drive to test on a restart with the following information
    Journal of diagnosis
    Result time

    0301 111311 190805

    Then several no data below.

    What are these results? This could be a virus and not a real failure of HARD drive?

    I made a backup at this stage, and then the AVG installed anti-virus software to carry out analyses more away in case it's a virus.
    Help to identify the journal of diagnosis would be appreciated and so also if it is a virus, as I had seen a virus who himself disguised as a warning from Windows XP HARD drive failure which linked to a Web site to try to extort money from people (although none like this, but a real Windows 7 error)

    Thanks for any help.

  • Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions

    Hello

    I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.

    (1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.

    (2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.

    Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA

    Chipset: AMD A70M FCH

    CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10

    Thank you!

    It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.
