Re: Replacement of hard drive / memory level for a Pavilion dv1000

I just got a used dv1000 PC (laptop).  It works and I have the original system for her drives but 60 GB hard drive is a failure.  So I want to replace it with a new one that I get from newegg but I'm not find the documentation useful in the choice of a specific player that is compatible.  It applies to increase the RAM of the current 500K to 1 or 2 GB.

Any recommendations on a new HD and RAM increased?

Also with a new clean HD and an increase in RAM will be this thing then work with (32-bit), Windows 7?  My goal is to be able to use this for basic word processing and surfing the web and the old games that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 computer.  So W7 is not a must have, it's just smoother and faster to run than XP.  But I really need to replace the HD and add some more RAM.

Ok.  The new RAM has come a little more than a week, installed and works perfectly.  Obtained the hard drive Western Digital 320 and who arrived Thursday or Friday.

Took out the old HD, taken the sleeve out of it, put it on the new and apparently not very well.  Started with and without the XP CD and it could not find the new HD.  Out the new HD for a closer and saw that he could not plug into the Jack of the laptop for her.  PANIC.  Then I remembered the HP manual, there is another piece that I had to remove the old HD; He was there, the small plastic socket adapter.  Plugged into the new HD and it fits and started and let me load up XP from the original CD included with the laptop.

Now, it was time to download updates of 1,000,000 XP.  But no luck, it wouldn't connect to the internet through the LAN cable or wireless no matter how, I tried to set up a new network connection.  After that a few days of market and stop messing around I went and started to search on other forums of HP and by blind chance stumbled upon the one who pointed out that I had to download a bunch of drivers HP specific to the laptop via a computer from work to a flash drive or a CD.  The drivers from the internet no first and then connect to my network home wireless, but not via the LAN cable permitted.  So I let the XP updates, most like that why I exploded and did some useful stuff.  Yesterday when I got time I got all the HP and loaded and installed all drivers and this gave me access LAN network/internet cable at home, without further problems.  Tested both wireless and cable by turning off one and using the other and both found to work really.  HP drivers also made a few other nice improvements in the laptop, especially the graphics performance.

The computer starts rising very fast now too even if the XP it works started out Edition service pack 1.

So now with the computer base and OS upward functions running I want to install the Antivirus & Firewall and then can start loading some software I can not or do not want to put on my regular computer 64-bit.

Detective Conan, I hope.

  • Pavilion p6310y: WD10EZEX hard drive is compatible for the Pavilion p6310y?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard disk of my Pavilion p6310y. I found a hard disk WD10EZEX on Amazon. It has the same features as the WD10EADS came with the pc when I bought it. But with some better features. The WD10EZEX is compatible?

    Hi, the active drive WD10EADS is a HARD SATA 2.0, while you are looking in WD10EZEX is a SATA 3.0. However, this should not be a problem since the SATA standard is backward compatible and a SATA 3.0 drive should work on a SATA 2.0 port. The difference in the size of the buffer and the ROTATION speed should not be a problem too, so you should be able to use a WD10EZEX in your system. Be sure to do a good backup of all your data on an external HARD drive before you start to replace your HARD drive. Good luck.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HARD drive SSD update for HP Pavilion 15 laptop

    Hey there!

    I own a HP pavilion 15 notebook PC, [model number: F6C42PA #ACJ]. Currently, it is equipped with a 1 TB SATA HARD drive. I was going to upgrade to SSD. Kindly guide me through the steps and the compatible products. Also is there a simple way to just walk into an authorized service center of thm Center and ask to do the upgrade?

    Thank you

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 59.

    Not your model exactly but very close and videos may be more useful.

    Any form factor of 2.5 in SATA SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147372&cm_re=Samsung_850_Evo-_-20-147-372-_-product

    There is a link for all sizes available on the page. I recommend that at least a 256 and 500 are quite affordable nowadays.

    Where do you live? Country only, please. I heard that HP Service centers will perform memory and SSD upgrades on these 'closed' systems but I don't know where all of them or what they would charge. You should be able to find a competent local computer shop to do. It does not put security at risk, but the warranty is not revoked if the work is done properly, without damage to the laptop.

  • Replace the hard drive and memory - guaranteed?

    Recently, I replaced the hard drive on the Wyvern with a 640 GB WD Scorpio Blue after finding that the Toshiba disk stock was reallocating too many sectors (readers are functionally identical), and memory has been updated there is a 2 x 4 GB G.SKILL Kit (from stock 1x4Go, 1x2GB).  My laptop now needs to be repaired for hardware problems totally unrelated to these parties (specifically, one damaged USB and Ethernet Jack).  Overall coverage is affected by these parts or these replacements continue to allow outside replaced part complete warranty coverage?  (The Service Manual indicates that both of these parts are replaceable by the user.)

    If this post has solved your problem, click on accept as Solution so that others can find them easily. If you found this post useful, don't forget to say 'Thank you' by clicking on Bravo thumb upward.

    Watch more closely the warranty conditions and found:

    This limited warranty [...] does not extend to any product [...] that has been damaged or rendered defective [...] (g) by modification or service by a person who [...] (iii) your own installation of end-user replaceable HP or HP parts if available for your product in the country or region maintenance. [...]

    The way I read the warranty conditions, the conditions above may apply, because the parts are not 'HP or HP approved parts', but only if the defect is actually caused by the replacement of these parts.  In addition, the Federal law stipulates that the simple use of third parties do not void a warranty (15 USC §2302 (c); Please note that I am not a lawyer).

    Anyone else agree or disagree with that?

  • Re: Equium A100 - 2 L - the search for the replacement of HARD drive

    I inherited an Equium A100 - 2L (PSAAQE) of my brother, but he kept the hard drive damaged in the hope of saving its data on it. Can anyone recommend a hard drive replacement, and I need one any attachment or additional connector?
    Looking at various Web sites, I'm puzzled by this disc to buy regarding dimensions (SFF, 1/8 H etc.)

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    No, you need a t n pregnant additional or connector. The caddy HARD drive you need you can use old HARD drive and the connector is soldered to the motherboard. So when you replace the HARD drive, you need only one new, what s.

    Equium A100 has already SATA interface that means you buy a HARD drive with SATA interface, but it of not important if she s SATA1 or SATA2 interface because the two standards will work (SATA2 is compatible downgrade to SATA1).

    So just buy a * 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface *. Also there is no capacity limit, 500GB or more should work and manufacturing is also independent.
    Just look at some online stores and buy a HARD drive with good price / performance. :)

  • Satellite L300-A13 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    I need to replace my drive hard because I got a disc error and I could hear noises from him. Someone knows the size of the current hard drive replace (either 3.5 SATA or whatever it is)?

    No space memory but actual size, so it can fit inside my computer and someone know a tutorial to replace by yourself?

    Hello

    To replace the HARD drive, you need a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. These 3.5 HARD drive you want to say are only for desktop PC s peut t used in laptops to buy a 2.5 so one.

    But it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive or the size. Just look for a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface.

    Replace the drive is pretty easy: just remove the two screws on the underside of the cover of the HARD drive. You can exchange it.
    I know because I have the same laptop. ;)
