Question Capatibility of SSD and size for "HP Pavilion dv7 - 4283cl Entertainment PC" laptop
Hello
I get a SMART error for my HARD drive and on further analysis, it seems to be of type 'Error of END to END'. Research shows that there is no other choice than to get a new hard drive.
My hard drive is currently 640 MB. I was thinking of doing a 512 MB SSD - specifically:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147194
Before buying, I came across the following excerpt manual from HP on my laptop:
Double hard drive configurations:
2 TB (1 TB 5400 RPM × 2)
1500 GB (× 2 750 - GB, 5400 RPM)
1280 GB (640 GB, 5400 RPM × 2)
1000 GB (500 GB, 7200 RPM × 2)
640 GB (320 GB, 7200 RPM × 2)
500 GB (250 GB, 7200 RPM × 2)
SSD 160 GB + 500 GB, 7200 RPM
Hard drive configurations:
1 TB, 5400 RPM, 12.5 mm
750 GB, 5400 RPM, 12.5 mm
640 GB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm
500 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm
320 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm
250 GB, 7200 RPM, 9.5 mm
160 GB, SSD
This is still true. (I think maybe that the manual was conducted before SSD expansion was widely available)

Yes it's not a fair compatibility list a menu of what offered the HP. 512 SSD is still a bit expensive for a lot of people, but if you can afford it, you can be assured that it works perfectly on your laptop. Of course, you want to use in the primary as boot drive Bay to enjoy the performance of the SSD. Enjoy. The Pro 840 is widely regarded as the best SSD you can buy.

HP pavilion dv7 1260us: upgrade memory and processor for hp pavilion dv7 1260us
I was wondering if possible to upgrade my memory and processor... hp pavilion dv7 1260us?
Here are the specs:
You have an AMD Turion RM-74 processor and 4 GB of RAM. The RAM is DDR2 and it may take 8 GB of DDR2, but that the memory of any reputable vendor is crazy expensive, like $150 ++ for 2 x 4 gig modules.
Here is the Service Manual:
The top of the page compatible processor is an AMD Turion™ Ultra Dual-Core 35W ZM-86 2.40 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache
If you want to go from 2.2 ghz to 1 meg to 2.4 ghz with 2 MB of L2 cache L2 cache, may be a treatment of 20% energy improvement. Not enough, IMO, to justify the difficulty because it is still not in the ballpark of machines of today.
You can buy the processor from a dealer renowned for $15 with free shipping. That should tell you what the demand is for her. Basically obsolete.
I replaced motherboards in several series dv7-1000, and it is one of the harder to take apart laptops. Many cables in strange tablecloth and Remora in all directions.
We are ready to help in any way possible with the upgrade, but in this case probably the best advice that I can give you is "don't".

Beats Audio for HP Pavilion dv7 - 7047cl Entertainment PC
Recently had to reinstall Windows 7 - sound was going well until I started looking for the pilot of beats. There seems to be little information on how to get one for your model, so I just download an audio driver dv6 Beats. However, now my sound doesn't quite work when I try to play a video.
Help, please!
Hello
So the beats audio interface is provided by IDT HD Audio software, try the following.
Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp57501-58000/sp57966.exe
One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.
When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu. Press f9 to load the default values (sometimes it is f5, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER. Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.
Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete. Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices. Left click 'Speakers and headphones' (or speakers/HP) once to highlight and then click set as default.
Restart the laptop.
Kind regards

HP Pavilion dv7-7020us Entertainment PC SSD
I would like to install an SSD in the second Bay of my Pavilion dv7-7020us Entertainment PC running Windows 7 and cannot determine which cable I need. There are two kinds, I found on Amazon and the other says that it isn't for "dv7-7000" series and the other says only "for the dv7t series." I searched all day for what is the difference and I still can't find the type of cable I need. I don't think it should be this difficult. Any help is appreciated.
Hello:
It would be the cart and the cable you need.

Your model would be identical to a dv7t-7000 as it has a processor intel and chipset.

Where are the drivers for HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx notebook PC USB?
I just had a really annoying couple of hours to find out that the next step in my quest to get all four of the USB ports on my HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook PC working again is to reinstall the USB driver. The problem is this driver seems to be hidden safely in a place where dangerous people like me can't get to work. Can someone tell where I can get this driver? Please, humor me - I just fell off the turnip truck and I did what is obvious to search "drivers and support" area of HP one USB for a HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx Entertainment Notebook PC running win7 64 bit driver. He isn't here. So where is it?
You don't need a special usb driver. It is part of the main chipset driver and eventually the operating system itself. If you have problems with the usb ports does not work, it is most likely hardware. However, one thing you can try is going into Device Manager, all that can be uninstalled, the uninstall usb devices, restart and allow drivers to recharge. When I have a laptop with usb problems I boot from a Linux Live CD or a pen and see if the usb ports work with Linux. If yes then your Windows is corrupted somehow. If this isn't the case, then it is material.

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
