Pavilion dv7t hinge

The laptop still works ok internally, but I am concerned about the left hinge.  When the top is moved to close, the left corner of the body near the hinge cover lifts.  I don't know how long the cover work at all or if some internal components could be damaged.  Is this a known issue with this laptop. What is the recommended action?  Thank you.

Whups!  After reading a few similar posts and consult the documentation of repair, I discovered that I had a screw loose.  Screw the angle separating himself had worked enough to be a problem.  If it does again, I'll try a little drop of Loktite.

  • 2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - what do I need?

    Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (product # WV703AV). It can accommodate two hard disks but only came with one. What would need to be able to install the second hard drive? I need just a connecting cable or I also need to caddy or kit?

    Also, would I get a solid state? My laptop that would support or should I just use regular?

    Currently, I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I have a 500 GB hd (which came to be partitioned with hp tools/restoration).

    Help with what I would need to a conventional hard drive or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through messages of others first, but could not find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!

    Hello:

    The only place I know where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is that provider.

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

    Your laptop should be able to work with an SSD, but I can't guarantee it.

    I don't really see any point in adding an SSD unless you make the main hard drive, and to do this, you must get an SSD of the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

    Most people get smaller SSD and they use the W7 product key to activate a simple installation of W7.

    If you can read all 25 characters of your product key for windows 7, you can do your own installation media and allows to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Pavilion dv7t-6100-cto-quad: I can't get the new drivers on the hp support site

    I have restored my ssd from disks that I made the computer when I bought it and I did everything I know to do and can not get the hp support site to give me a list of drivers for that computer. I know there must be some updated drivers for the computer 3 years, but I don't know how to get them and it is interfiering with other programs or drivers that need updated drivers that I can't. Please help me with this. I learned that the site is in place and current, but it does not work as far as I can tell, for my portable quad, dv7t-6100 cto. Everything continues to run and never becomes pilots. Thanks for any help in getting this resolved.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade processor

    Hello

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.  Due to a new job, I need to update my processor of the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specifications below, please) of at least 3.0 GHz.

    Is there a processor 3.0 GHz there that is compatible with this particular computer? I called tech support and they told me they don't know. I don't know who else to ask.

    This computer was purchased just a few months ago (before I got the new job). I really don't buy a new computer, if possible, if I can upgrade the processor in it.

    Here are the current processor specifications:

    Intel Core i7 3610QM
    Codename Ivy Bridge
    RPGA Socket 988 B package
    The 22nm technology
    Specification Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it seems that one (that I found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel made for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the Extreme edition i7-3940XM (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)

    Priced at $1,000 +, it looks like I'll be shopping for a new computer.

    Don't know if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I won't buy another HP product.

    This machine had problems outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lack in all areas even pull your techscannot model with the serial number.

    Visitors should not go out on the Internet for questions of research like this.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t Entertainment PC Memory Upgrade Question

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    PRODUCT # NB444AV

    OSOriginally installed: Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium

    Currently installed OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

    When I bought the laptop, HP included a "FREE upgrade to 4 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) 2 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) system system'. I don't check then. Now, when it is slow, I checked the memory installed by 'Start-> computer-> (right click)-> properties-> installed memory (RAM). It shows that 2 GB.

    I'm baffled why it shows only 2 GB of RAM now, when HP was supposed to install 4 GB. In any case, I would like to upgrade memory now.  I have referred to as "HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC. Maintenance and Service Guide "."  He describes the memory Module as:

    Spare part number description
    Memory 2048 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480382-001
    Module memory 1024 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480381-001
    Module of 512 MB memory (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480380-001

    My question: can I use a 4 GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR2 800 MHz (PC2-6400) SODIMM 200 pin notebook Modules memory in the crack avialable? Memory at 800 MHz won't be compatible with 667 MHZ memory?

    I can't install module memory 2 x 4 GB to 8 GB? Will it be recognized by the card mother/BIOS/Windows?

    Thank you for your expert advice.

    You are the very welcome.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01689926.PDF

    Please see Chapter 4, page 54.

    It seems to me that there are two memory slots (one almost on top of the other). Take a look at the illustration.

    This is why the memory in Chapter 1 specifications indicate that you can install up to 8 GB of memory (2 x 4 GB).

    You can install a single chip PC2-6400 4 GB and leave the one you have in there now.

    It comes to the module memory 4 GB good cheaper brand I could find.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 does not start

    My HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 does not start. I checked this article: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674

    According to who, the error condition is: 'non-functional CPU.

    So if I buy a new processor and disassemble the laptop and replace the processor, it will fix the problem?

    Perhaps, but it is much more likely to be the motherboard. If the motherboard is bad, you can't trust the blink codes that it generates. Failures of the CPU but rarely occur. Motherboard failure happens all the time.

  • Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00: cannot turn off Mute speakers

    Until a few days ago, my speakers worked well. I usually keep mute and turn them on when I want to listen to something. Now I can't enable them no matter what I do. I have run the troubleshooter, reinstalled the driver and tried everything I can think of, but still no sound.

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100: Pavilion dv7t-4100 came with 90W Adapter, but says HP 65W Web site

    Section of the HP website 'find the right battery or an adapter for your laptop' lists only 65W smart or slim adapter for my Pavilion dv7t-4100, so I ordered the 65W.  But when it happened and I realized that it was smaller than my existing adapter (which has suddenly stopped working), I took a thorough (literally with a magnifying glass) and that he realized was the adapter supplied with the 90W laptop.  I was initially planned a larger than necessary adapter or HP wrong customers?  The adapter I ordered lists this model as being compatible with it.

    Hello

    It's true, when you connect AC and run games you need 90W or even more. The following list shows the 3 types of adapters that fit to your machine (and many more parts for your machine):

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=WW191AV

    (You can bookmark this page).

    My suggestion: If you are happy with the 65W charger then keep otherwise, use the right piece to get a 90W or same 120W (much heavier).

    Kind regards.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  • The upgrade of my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 to Windows 8

    Hello

    This weekend, I upgraded my HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 (that I bought in July) to Windows 8 with the sad result that the drivers for my laptop do not work in Win8. I just had to do a Recovery boot back to Windows 7 (and lost a lot of time and information) because I really need the work of the graphics card.

    When the drivers will work properly? When will it be the right time to move again to Windows 8?

    Thanks in advance,

    Felipe

    @morafen24,.

    I may have some good news.

    I just checked your laptop for Windows 8 drivers driver & support page and it seems there is now a switchable graphics driver available that was not available previously when I checked.
