Question of replacement HP Pavilion a6333w MoBo system # KC746AA #ABA (ECS MCP61PM-HM)

I'm working on one of these AM2 Athlon 64 X 2 4800 + (Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media
Critters Center (32 bit)) to a customer (slowdowns, BSOD, boots, hangs / freezes).

After doing thorough hardware tests (PSU, CPU, RAM and HARD drive are all very well) and make a Visual examination very closer to the MoBo, I found that at least nine of the 1800uf TK 63 caps are slightly 'dished' to the Crown and while he has not failed completely, this isn't only a matter of time, if it fails.

I came to the inevitable conclusion that it is not worth the time I put in, a lot less time and effort involved in recapping this beast, so I recommend that you replace the MoBo, preferably with an ASUS that can use its RAM, cards and CPU.

I would like to make a restore of the system since the existing D partition, but makes the question of "HP image restore and sign up OK with a"big"change like MoBO make and model or is"indexed"to an Image type particular MoBo ID?

NOTE: The customer has lost his recovery CD in a gesture!  Big surprise!

TIA!

Hi, if you install a card mother HP no you'll need another copy of windows.

  • Question of replacement HP Pavilion M6 HD

    The HD in my Pavilion M6 is a failure; I want to replace it with something faster. Specifically, I'm looking at the Seagate 1 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6 GB/s 64 MB Cache 2.5 ST1000LM014. Will this work for my laptop?

    I have replaced hundreds of hard drives of laptop and these questions are overthinking the issue, but there is no such thing as a bad question so I answer. Your computer has a GB/s SATA-III 6.0 interface. There is no maximum capacity. You can install any player portable SATA not thicker than 9.5 mm market, which I think are now available up to 2 TB. The original drive is 9.5 mm but 7 mm drives have SATA connectors and mounting holes in the same task and will run just below in the caddy. 7 mm discs works perfectly. You are looking at is 9.5 mm same as the original drive. The only problem is with thin ultrabooks which can take only 7mm readers; 9.5 will not match those. And finally, yes you can use an SSD and if you're inclined to spend premium dollars, I highly recommend it, but that you have chosen is a hybrid that is faster than a mechanical drive standard and not much more expensive.

  • How to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx with SSD?

    Dear experts,

    I would like to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx HDD with SSD, but I can't seem to find SSD compatibility information.

    Here are a few questions and I hope that some of you could give advice:

    1. the list of SSD compatibility?

    2 may I know if it is compatible with Samsung Evo 840 250 Go?

    3. is there a guide on how to open the laptop?

    4. it will affect my warranty?

    Thanks and receive a response.

    Rgds,

    Sam

    Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    Replacement hard drive is on Page 51. The good news is Yes, you can install the Samsung 840 Evo. It is the one I would recommend actually. There is no list because fundamentally, the laptop is compatible with any 2.5 inches wide 7 or 9.5 mm thick SSD or HDD.

    The bad news is to replace the average hard drive almost complete disassembly of the laptop. Access to the bottom door exposes that RAM, no hard drive. And Yes, if you're wrong in the process that HP will stand behind the warranty.

    Hey @dct1954 ,

    I called support and they confirm that even if it shows that it will be compatible, there will be a problem. They recommend using a USB dongle to give you the 5 GHz, you need.

  • Pavilion fan questions after replacing fans.

    I have a 4 years, HP Pavilion Elite m9500y equipped of Windows Vista. I had received messages from 'system fan failure' on startup from time to time and had heard loud grinding noises still occasionally. I changed the power supply and a video card, and none has solved the problem. Lately, computer work really slowly and the CPU temperature was more than 100 degrees Celsius only at startup.

    I replaced the cpu fan and case fan today and have encountered a new problem - when I hit the power button, the computer starts up, I see both fans run for about 10 seconds, and then they stop. The CPU fan first, then the case fan. Then, I get an error message saying the CPU fan has failed and the computer turns off. It is possible that I installed the fans back. Does anyone know the correct orientation or have pictures? Anything else may have caused the problems?

    skidlz,

    54sec at 01:17 minutes this video shows the CPU fan and the orientation of the blade. In regards to the rear case fan, fan shroud has an arrow showing the flow. The fan is a fan, so he blows on the back.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6060ep: question to replace HARD drive

    Hello.

    I would like to know if replacing the current 500 Gb Hdd with a SSD would cancel or in any way affect my warranty coverage. The laptop is a year old. Thanks in advance for any assistance of withy this question.

    Hello:

    There should be no problem with the warranty as long as you don't break something trying to install the HARD drive.

    HP will not support the SSD however and your recovery disks don't work because the new drive must be the same size the 500 GB HARD drive you removed.

    I have a workaround for the problem of recovery disk...

    According to the specifications of your PC system, it came with W7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    It must be in English, French or Spanish version too.

    If so, download the ISO W7 Home Premium 64 bit on the link below.

    Burn the file on a disk using a program that can burn ISO files so the DVD is bootable DVD burning.

    Burn at the lowest speed as possible.

    Then use the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop computer to activate the installation.

    Support of your laptop and driver page visit to install all the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads of MS of W7.

    Mick,

    Hello

    You have the best player for the laptop, you may have. You can use conventional disc (up to 500 to 750 GB), but none of them are as fast as the solid state drive. I guess that the laptop is a dv7-4000 series. This laptop does not support SATA III connection because a SATA III SSD is the only drive faster than what you got.

    ----------

    Possibly related problem: a month ago, I had my first BSoD since the purchase of this laptop and back up the error driver conflict. (The HP wireless driver is in conflict with the Intel wireless driver AND wireless driver windows.) It was an easy fix and I've not had a BSoD since. I speak only because it happened shortly before the fan problems started.

    During the week following the driver problem, the fan is sometimes very hard. Soon, it was impossible to ignore. Finally, one morning I turned on my laptop and it gave me an error screen explaining that the fan was not working properly. (Unfortunately, I forgot to write the error message before off.) I turned it on again because I really need to do some work, and the fan was quiet until he end of the initialization of Windows, then the noise started again. I quickly turned it off to avoid overheating.

    I tried to clean my fan with the typical technique of blowing-air. That did not stop the noise. I found this manual from this page on the HP website. After the manual I disassembled my laptop and clean any dust that I could find. The fan was a little dust inside, so I go back the laptop and he did it again. Unfortunately, the noise continued.

    So I decided to order a new fan. Using the same manual, I found the the product number of the fan page 90 (which is in fact the page 98 of the PDF). Because my computer has an Intel processor and the graphics card Radeon has 1 GB of memory separate, I ordered the fan with the part number 641477-001 from this Amazon page, that meets these specifications.

    Replacement fan arrived two days ago and I took my laptop apart this afternoon to put it in.

    That IS THE PROBLEM: When I took out the old fan, I noticed a sticker on it that says:

    REPLACE WITH HP SPARE

    650797 001

    CX116O

    But 650797-001 is the fan for laptops with a graphics card of Radion with 2 GB memory discreet! No 1 GB! My laptop seems to be entered with the wrong early fan!

    I immediately called HP customer support. After almost 2 hours on the phone and make up for a product manager, that's what he told me:

    "Since your laptop was an order custom, fan 650797-001 has been used instead of the fan 641477-001 because it has a higher RPM." (Paraphrase).

    When I asked why it was necessary, I was told this:

    "You ordered need CPU fan faster to keep it cool." (Once again, to paraphrase the explanation).

    I was quoted $193 so that it sets 1 to 2 business days ship the box for it and 3 to 5 business days to ship it back. I asked to order the fan 650797-001 and made myself instead, but he told me that HP does not allow customers to order fan parts and seemed surprised that I was able to order one at all.

    I already without my laptop for 3 weeks and the cost of replacement fan $66. Even assuming that I get a refund for the fan, I'm not sure I can afford another week or more without my cell phone.

    I am so here for a second opinion.

    ARE the MY QUESTIONS:

    If my laptop order is supposed to have 1 GB of memory separate, why is he with this fan? (I felt like the explanation I got technical support is designed to force me to leave and pay).

    I can argue it's lack of HP for the use of the wrong fan for this Radeon card and at least get a discount on repairs?

    Is anyone aware of a place that I can control the fan 650797-001 and do it myself for less money? (Amazon does not appear to have one).

    ----------

    I lose my patience and want to fix things. Let me know if I need to provide any additional information.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer!

    Hello LeviRK.

    You can not order more much of HP by phone, only a statement select bit.  However, HP provides other services to allow you to buy almost any part of the laptop.  The best resource is HP part Surfer.

    I took the freedom to search for the part you are looking for, 650797-001.  Class page for the party as is no longer available through HP and suggests the part number 665309-001.  The interview Guide & Service you already has all the other information you need.

    I hope this information helps.

  • Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

    Hello

    My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

    I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

    My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

    Advice/suggestions appreciated.

    See you soon

    Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

    See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

    As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

  • HP XW6600 workstation: Question to replace ram on HP XW6600 workstation

    Hello, recently my third dimm (it was 1 gb) stop working and now I have to replace it with a new one.

    My current setup on the Rams was 4 fb-DIMM 1 GB each and my question is: can I replace the non-working with a ram ddr2 single memory ram or I want only a fb-dimm?

    * Note: my mobo is Hewlett-Packard 0A9Ch (XU1 PROCESSOR).

    Thanks for your time

    These positions require the FB-DIMM (which are DDR2 as well!), standard DIMM doesn't work.

    In addition, the FBDIMM replacement must have the same rank as the original.

    BTW: FBDIMM is often quite cheap these days here (unless you want 4 GB or 8 GB modules), check your favorite online auction site. According to what you do with your workstation, it might be interesting to buy a kit 4x2GB instead of a single 1 GB module.

  • Question of replacement hard drive HP s3720y

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y with Windows Vista installed.  My hard drive needs to be replaced and I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11.  Will this work with my computer?  My plan is to restore my computer to the new hard drive with the system restore disks and then upgrade to Windows 8.  Are there compatibility problems?  Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello:

    If the replacement of the hard disk you have is less than 2 TB and has a SATA interface, then it should work fine.

    Regarding the W8, it is difficult to say whether or not it will work normally on your PC.

    You can go to download W8 and before you actually buy it, he runs a check of compatibility on your PC.

    Even if it passes there is no guarantee that the system will work.

    There is no drivers for W8 on the assumption of your PC and driver page, so the upgrade will be risked.

Maybe you are looking for
