  Hi @LaurieJC ,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx Notebook and want to improve the hard. Here is a link to your service manual page 48 for Hard drive specifications. I checked on the possibility of installing 1 TB and it shows me if you keep to 1 TB 2.5 internal SSD SATA 6.0 GB/s • 555 MB/sec in reading, 500 MB/s write plug, you'll be fine.

  I hope that this address your concerns.

  Thank you.

• Please find Driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7

  Hello

  Please help me find the driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7.

  I'm going to each site, trying to find a driver for BCM20702A0 because I tried to install a 4 (badge) bluetooth dongle on my laptop but it says 'impossible to update software' when I try to run the installer from the manufacturer's website. Then, I go to devices and printers and try to solve the problem with the bluetooth dongle and it says "BCM20702A0 is not a driver" I tried to download broadcom and updated centrino HP network driver for my laptop page up-to-date, but that does not solve the problem. All these other drivers that I find are for other computers laptops and even still, I can't navigate to links posted on this site, it brings me right back to the search page.

  Thank you

  Alex

• HP Pavilion Dv7-4285dx Entertainment computer laptop Wont stay turned on

  Alrighty this is one video of my HP Pavilion Dv7 - 4285dx Entertainment Notebook Wont work video. Basically, I can't understand what was lacking on this wise material issue (and if its even possible to distance just buy a spare part) or so badly need to buy a whole new computer altogether. Already have a portable game, but I'd rather have this laptop specifically for the armed forces when were allowed to use our computers civi make calculation on projects say. Any viable solution to possibly rebuild the machine, tell buy spare parts would be epic, but I can't determine what is the problem with it on my own.

  It may make more sense to look at the video that I can show what the machine is doing when I try to use it. Video--> http://youtu.be/KO4LAP2mJNM

  He's fine, the jist is that the machine is not turned on. The power LED flashes quickly, the F12 key light flashes quickly, light flickers hard drive read/write and the power on the portion sparkles. Also the battery is removed the iron on if this is a battery issue, I've already pulled out it is not not a bad adapter block. Regarding the power light, it's a constant light to solid white'.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  I understand that the system is off almost instantly after having turned it on.

  Based on the symptoms and the video, it looks like the motherboard has failed.  There are only so many components that can cause this problem.  The battery and Charger AC/DC have been rejected.  The laptop seems to receive a continuous power supply because the light stays on.  You could try reinstalling the RAM it could be just loose enough to trigger a security breach.  I doubt that is the case since that RAM in laptop computers is guaranteed to be generally quite good.  The disk HARD and WLAN module would not cause these symptoms.

  I know that's not the answer you are looking for, but the symptoms do not match that of a failed motherboard.  You could look into this and compare it to the costs and benefits of a new laptop.  Page 84 0f this guide details what is to replace the motherboard.  According to this, the part of HP for the motherboard number is 630985-001.  You might look online to see what the cost of a motherboard to a site selling online because it does not appear that HP is available.  You can can try the HP parts store because it is more recent than the surfing part.

  In most cases, the benefits of a new system outweigh the costs and the benefits to repair an old.  However, third-party sites can carry enough good parts markets to switch the balance.

• Add internal bluetooth adapter for HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx?

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx and I was wondering if it would be possible to make my laptop bluetooth capable and if yes, what cards are compatible? I was able to add maps to other laptops (mainly Dell) and during the surching for a repair guide and my one dismantle, so maybe one of these it may be, I found some empty connectors. The guides I found was not clear about a module for my model. I was also trying to find the model of increased mine which would map already in it, but no luck. Any one out there able to help out me? I want to continue to use my mouse bluetooth and headset.

  It is one of the guides that I thought would help but on 87, he talks about model dv7-40XX using the 537921-001. I'm looking on the wrong page? When I tried to talk to HP they kept giving me the run around and wouldn't even tell me if it was possible to add bluetooth to it.

  Don't worry about this. Take a look at page 1 and the "Product Description". Dv7-4000 is said by Dv7-4299. This is why it says on page 87 Dv7-40XX because it was intended for all the notebook Dv7-4XXX mentioned in the Product Description. I guess that all laptops Intel in the series use the same motherboard, so the required location for the bluetooth module should be there...

• Pavilion dv7-4285dx hard drive

  The hard drive on 2 years, Pavilion dv7-4285dx of my son is dead. It's a Samsung HM641JI, 640 GB, 5400 RPM. can anyone recommend a good replacement for this notebook drive? The new drive can we (GB) smaller than the original? Should I just stick with the same Samsung drive? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
  PS - I use the recovery discs just purchased from HP to restore the new drive.

  Hello

  You can use standard HDD from other providers. Nowadays people need more space, go for a larger HARD drive, it's a wise move. The recovery disc may not install on a smaller HARD disk because it will put your machine back to the factory settings.

  Kind regards.

• How can I find my external and internal port number

  I am trying to access the internet via a live ethernet cable from my router, except the computer im trying to use is new to the House, but is under xp. I also have a laptop which I use to ask these questions, which accesses the internet via a wireless connection. I open 'Internet Properties' and entered my IP address and I am now looking for my external and internal port numbers try to connect. Is it and most easy way? I'm on the right track? Help, please. :)

  If you really have a router, then this router should affect your computer all the configuration settings that it needs to connect to the internet (or local) automatically via DHCP.  The "TCP/IP properties" correct settings on your computer must be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  If your router is configured correctly, it will automatically load these settings, such as all you need to do is to connect your computer to your router.  If this does not work, then you must download the manual of your router and verify its configuration.

  Here's what's happening this laptop, I bought the other day who has no internal hard drive. How can I boot my laptop without a hard drive? Do I need an internal hard drive using my laptop, or could I just use an external hard drive? I don't think I can get on my hard drive they screw appeared to be hitting something I can get loose but not outside.

  AY info would be great thank you

  Extremely difficult to boot Windows XP from a disk usb external hard and will be extremely slow to use. Instructions to link here , but it seems to be down at the moment.

  Impossible for Vista or Windows 7 that I know.

  Screws for the cover of the hard drive come all the way, they stay with the cover, after loosening them that coverage will pop out.

  Hello.

  I have a DV7 6179us and never had any problems until about a month or two when it became super slow (it's almost impossible to even type).

• HP Pavilion dv7 - 6143cl: cannot download the drivers on the hp support site

  I have recently reinstalled windows 7 to fix a problem with some corrupted windows files. Now, I need to reinstall my drivers but to do what I need to download and I can just download them from the site of HP support with product dection or the manutal method I get a logo of loading and it just sits there. I think it's just for my computer because I tried computers randomly and I could see drivers to download (I didn't actually download them I just wanted to see if the problem was on my end or hps.) I tried google chrome, Internet explorer 8 (always install updates windows) and firefox.

• HP pavilion DV7-6c10so: cannot install HP Quick Launch on HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

  I am really pulling my hair out on this one. Recently I swapped my brothers HARD drive into his laptop, and with that we decided to do a clean installation of windows. Evrything went smooth and well with the excavation and activate Windows. But I ran to a problem with the installation of some software and drivers HP. All drivers except 2 would install properly. Once, it was a hassel to install were the drivers Bluetooth and wi - fi. That's what happened when I tried to launch the exe to install:

  A window opens saying some information on im about to install software. I press next here.

  in the next step, I accept the EULA and press Next.

  Then begins the extraction process and once it has been done the window close.

  After this a windows installer window appears saying: preparing for installation...

  This was followed by: Please wait while Windows install configures the installation...

  During this stage, the progress bar fills upp to 100% and the window closes, and that's all. No message telling me the installation was a success or a failure. no error code or message. If I check the Device Manager I can be that the driver is not installed. I solved this problem by right-clicking on the device and then choose install driver and then find the extracted folder and choose the driver in there.

  But here's the tricky part and my problem, I need the software of quick launch buttons asswell but Installer is broken here as well. but since this isn't a driver I can't operate by itself.

  I let the Installer do its thing and all that with the drivers just sort of stops. No messagege not nothing. The program does not appear in the Control Panel, the task bar or in active processes (yes I restarted the computer). However I find it under Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel, so the computer thinks its installed. the same for HP software executives, but it is not as important.

  If I go to the extracted installation location I get a lage Setup window that says welcome to the quick launch HP Setup Wizard. Here, I choose to remove it ocr fix/repair it. I tried manny time to fix but I doesent help. I uninstalled and then installed using this installer manny thus times. Nothing helps. but atleasst with this installer, I get a quick launch of HP has been successfully installed message, yet it doesent work.

  what I tried:

  I installed each updates windows and .net.

  I tried to install an older version (for software farmeworks and quick launch).

  I reformatted and reinstalled the computer once again to see if the problem was caused by windows.

  go to the installation folder and run there (only for software frameworks).

  News of the computer:

  model: HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

  Shipping os OS: Windows 7 Home premium x 64

  After reformatting operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

  I'm in the desperaste need to get this working because it's my brothers computer and it needs today to come back later and I said wrong I work just like before.

  Sorry for the bad English everybody!

  Hello

  In this case, it may be worth trying the following.

  Uninstall the current version QLB and restart.

  Download the version from the following link and save the installation program.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56929.exe

  Use software such as 7-Zip manually extract the contents of the Setup program, and then run the setup.exe routine (20 KB) as an administrator since the extraction folder.

  This can or can not give an indication that it completed - if not, leave it for 5 minutes, then restart.

  If it still does not work, check if the routines are present in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP quick launch area and let me know - I'm going to work but to hope to be back within the hour.

• Pavilion DV7-3165DX, Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter, communication and incompatibility issues

  After much research, I decided to buy a Pavilion DV7-3065DX. Then, I walked to my local Best Buy to say the 3065DX had been abandoned and was no longer available for purchase. However, the 3165DX, his successor had arrived and was very similar to the previous generation. After a brief discussion to justify the increase of prices with myself, I gave and was sold.

  Within hours, I was in College, trying to connect to the WiFi network without success. After several hours becoming more and more frustrated, I decided to call it closes unexpectedly. Rushing home after class, I plugged the new Linksys WRT160N, I had also bought wireless router and configured on my desk. Once completed, I tried to connect using the new Pavilion. To my surprise, it worked! (And no problem whatsoever no less). So, apparently, the wireless adapter works, but does so only on some networks.

  A week later, I tried to connect to a number of public and private WiFi networks of different types with limited success. Most importantly, I am able to connect to my home network, but not to the public networks in my college or city libraries. At one point, the Office for my college indicated that my WiFi adapter is one of a handful of cards on the list of incompatible devices to their network. As it was to buy the laptop in the first place, I am extremely frustrated.

  I turned to the support pages of HP for a solution. I considered a update driver despite the use of the HP Wizard to keep abreast on all software downloads and updates. To my dismay, product for the Pavilion DV7-3165DX page lists of Broadcom WiFi adapter, which does not correspond to my hardware (Atheros AR9285). What's worse, is that the manufacturer's website offers no driver downloads to customers that its site is adapted directly to product manufacturers.

  At this point, I'm increased and not sure what to do. I am already attached to this laptop. Apart from the war with his fingerprints on its black and shiny chrome surfaces shiny, the problem with the Atheros WiFi card is the only problem that I had. I hate having to go through the ordeal to return, and I do not think that this problem requires the sending of the product to HP for repair. Furthermore, I believe that if it came down to one of those, I simply return the product and find my way to another product by other manufacturers in total.

  This certainly isn't the experience I had hoped with my first purchase of HP.

  Any suggestions?

  I have the same question... However with me the solution wasn't in the pilot. I spent 3 hours on the phone with technical support, try to understand.

  What it comes down to say that Atheros AR 9285 is a shi * ty wireless card. It supports 802.11n Protocol, but only 2.4 GHz (the same as the b/g frequencies). My Cysco wireless router was broadcasting 5 GHz Wireless-N and AR 9285 was not able to detect it. Once I changed the router settings to allow 2.4 GHz Wireless-N Networking, the Atheros card was able to connect under the Protocol N. However, the maximum speeds of 2.4 GHz card are slower than 5 GHz card.

  I wish they would give an option to choose what wireless card to install in my laptop. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm always done what they me screwed on.
