Pavilion dv7-4080us laptop, Windows 7. Adding a keyboard and an external display.

I added a Samsung LED HDMI monitor and it works.  I added an external keyboard via USB and it works.   However, when I close the laptop screen/lid on my laptop, the computer shuts down.  How can I close the laptop lid/screen and keep the computer running?  I want to place the external keyboard on top of my laptop because my desktop space is limited.  Thank you.

To be able to close the lid of the laptop and continue to use the external monitor, you have to change the power settings.  Follow these instructions.

  1. Right-click on your desktop.
  2. Select"customization".»
  3. Then select screen saver at the bottom right.
  4. In the menu of the screen saver, select "change the power settings.
  5. On the left side you will see "change the closing the cover.
  6. Select this option and change the settings you want.
  7. Finally, in the power of change settings menu you can change your power plan (when connected to the top) so it works more like a desktop computer and hard drives will not shut.

I hope it's useful!

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.

    Hello

    10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

    Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

    I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

    In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

    Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

    Thank you, always HP - Fan.

    Allways_HP_Fan

    Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

    I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

    What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

    However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    Hi all

    I have some difficulty to install the drivers for this laptop.
    I have a mechanical arm via the USB port, who informed me the (British) constructor that works only on Windows XP.
    I just have this laptop here, really need to use and to install Windows XP, update the SATA via Nlite drivers found here in this forum.
    I find just the network driver, which for me was a relief, just that there are still many riders and not sure of compatibility with Windows XP 3180SG.

    Hi, Leonardo:

    You can try the XP drivers.

    First install the chipset drivers and reboot.

  • Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x 64 on video card

    Good evening

    I just finished installing Windows 8 x 64 Win7 Pro, I could find all the drivers for my laptop, but I have problems with the video card settings.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two graphics cards, one managed by the processor, because it seems to do, and the other is normally installed on the PC.

    The cards are read by Windows as:

    Unit 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
    Unit 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700 m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)

    the problem lies in the fact that the device must be a supported per second, or disabled, as it will not be. AMD video card must be set to 1 and the intel 2. If I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the card intel Windows, it works as if he was absent any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can't find the card. It's as if the windows are imposed only use the unit 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that Windows 7 had no problem.

    I ask you to help me because I need the video card for my work performance.

    Fixed the link - please try again

I refused because he ran very fast and I was completely satisfied. Since then, it has been very slow and does not load new pages quickly.

  • Pavilion dv7 hangs on windows start screen

    Hi all

    This problem started a few days after I bought this computer in June, and I have tried everything I can think of including the factory restore and nothing has helped. I really don't want to return it because I really like it, but I can't stand this problem starting. I bought this one after I returned a dv6 for a power supply problem, it would not turn on at all after I had it for only a few weeks.

    When the laptop is turned on it starts and then freezes on windows start screen. It takes a few other tests of the switch, tool repair, before I can get it to come. The repair tool is useless for this problem. In this process, I also end up with BSOD and stop errors. The error that appears now is 0 X 00009086. I will use no more restore because it isn't helped either.

    A computer brand new, not even a month and he has this major problem. I've read other articles published on the dv7 and have not found anything else to try.

    Windows 7 home.

    I would appreciate any ideas to try before I end up taking it back too.  Don't bode well for buying another HP again that's for sure.

    Hello

    I had already tried the first two options and they did not help.

    When I tried the 3rd option gave you the process stopped at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.  I looked into this and found it to be a problem in Vista too. I have read through the postings for this but haven't tried anything yet.

    BSOD Stop error message... 9086 is associated with this start hang up.

    I move from the Intel site and ran their audit tool then update the HM65 Chipset. This had no effect on the victory starts page suspended.

    I ran sfc and he found no violation of integrity.

    I was leaving my laptop because it is easier then trying to make it work again properly now 4-5 tries to make it work. It aggravates really me that I have this problem with a new computer.

    I try next?

    Thank you for your help on this.
