Replace the power supply for a Pavilion a140n

How to install a new power supply in a HP Pavilion a140n? Is there a step by step guide?

Zz30fg, welcome to the forum.

Is the model you list correct?  I can't find anywhere.

Before you start, I suggest that you measure existing power supply unit (PSU) to make sure that the one you choose to insert in the space provided.

The first thing you will do is turn off the computer.  Disconnect all devices that are connected, for example, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.  Once done, remove the side cover of the case.  There are two or more screws on the back of the computer that you have to remove.  Then slide the side gently to the rear.  Put it somewhere safe.   Be sure to touch the metal inside of the case before touching any components.  This will eliminate static electricity (ESD).  Now you can disconnect the cables from the PSU.  This is where it gets a little tricky.  I normally take a picture of the connections and mark them as clearly as possible on the motherboard.  Believe me, you'll be much happier if you do.  Once this operation is complete, it is time to remove the (4) screws that hold the power supply in place.  Hold it with care.  If it falls it can damage other components.

The new power supply will be marked with the appropriate connector cables.  At this point, it's just the opposite of what you were doing to uninstall the existing PSU.  Install the power supply into the case.  Do not overtighten the screws.  Make sure that the cables are inside the case.  Once in place, carefully connect all cables to the appropriate connectors.

If you have any other questions, I will watch this thread for you help.

    It's a high-end desktop PC.  No doubt he will come with an ATX PSU with 5VDC, 12VDC and 3.3Vdc output rails.  I'm not familiar with the Interior of your PC, so I'll give you two General configurations of PSU layout.

    1. design intermediary such as PC Power & Cooling with one or two 80 mm fans to expel air through the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341011

    2 down-draft design as Cosair 450VX with a 120 mm or more huge blowing fan case in the heat sink and the motherboard of the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139003

    If the power supply is at the top, back or side of the PC, then a power supply down-project will do a better job to remove heat from the PC.  If the power supply is in the middle of the PC, then go with an intermediate design.  This design will generate more noise at higher load, since the smallest fan should turn more quickly to transport the same amount of air in a 150 mm or 120 mm fan.

    Looking for a nominal 80% efficiency POWER supply.  Detachable power cable is a bonus to maximize the air flow inside the PC.  Make sure the power supply is delivered with the right type of power connector to drive you GPU.  All modern units of quality with 20 + 4 and 4 + 4 key cards.  If you do not plan to run graphic dual with a high range GPU, so it doesn't matter what quality 80 watter 380 power SUPPLY Antec, Corsair, Enermax and Seasonic PSU will be enough.  You will need to back up POWER supply to 450-550W, if you run two graphics cards high-end.

    A good 450W PSU is a good compromise because it is more effective when the PC is idle and has enough power to run two GPUS.  If you want to save $ on electricity, then get a smaller power supply (range 300-350W) because these units reach the level of efficiency of 80% around release of 65 to 70 watts.

  • Replacing the power supply on a HP Pavilion P6000

    Outputs video (DVI and VGA) were both released on my motherboard. Rather than go through the hassle of dealing with Microsoft if I had to replace the MB, I decided to install a MSI Geforce 210 graphics card and the existing PCI express slot. However, the existing power is rated at 250 watts and the new video card got a minimum rating of 300 watts. It seems to work, and I don't do any high-end graphics or game. My main uses of the PC are paying bill online, e-mail and a few online forums. Should I replace the power supply with a higher nominal? I have a Hiper Type R PSU which is estimated at 580 watts and was planning to replace it with the 250, but it looks like not her suits because it is deeper than the power installed about half an inch. The deeper power looks like it should stick on a half inch at the rear of the computer when it is against the stop before power in the case. I would like to have some advice on the use of the existing offer or be able to use my power Hiper 580.

    The HP Pavilion P6617C model, which is the number of product BT427AAR developed a standard ATX size power supply. Dimensions (as you know) are 5.9 "x 3.4" on the back and depth 5.5"in the case. The small metal latch/stop button to slide the power supply existing forwards (for removal). There really is no support.

    4 rear mounting screws fix the power supply of the Cabinet. Of concern would be the length, an added 0.7 ", as well as cables/connectors.  You can try the Hiper in the case, and if it fits, OK. Otherwise, I suggest a diet that actually matches the Rosewill 630W

  • Replace the power supply on my m9340f

    Hello

    I own a Pavilion Elite m9340f and I need to replace the power supply (it has the original), because the power on button failure, which I did research on forums and the solution replaces the power supply (psu led always on, for example).

    But I need to know exactly what kind of food I buy (amp, voltage, PIN number, dimensions, etc.) because I need help on the specifications.

    I'm not planning to upgrade the motherboard the case, original hp. I read in another post something on the power restriction and benicia supporting more than 450 watts power supply motherboard. I find this absurd information, because components draw necessary power from the PSU without worrying if it's 350 or 700 watts. So is one of the things that I need to be confirmed if there is restriction of power.

    Thanks in advance,

    Prince of Jeronimo Ramos

    Jeronimo, welcome to the forum.

    I believe that any standard ATX PSU must be inserted into the case.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  They are excellent manufacturers.  I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.  As far as I know, there is no restriction on the power.  I did this for a long time.  More than 550W to 600W in your computer is not necessary, however.

  • HP Envy 750-116: can anyone recommend an upgrade of the power supply for HP Envy 750-116?

    I have a HP Envy Office 750-116 and need to replace the power supply 300W with an upgrade to a more powerful.

    I was look at is CORSAIR CXM CX550M 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE or the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80 series. I have kniow that they are all two excellent PSU.

    My concern is with the connector that the 750-116 uses to the optical drive. Looks like the kind of connector you see go to a laptop, DVD player. (It of really small and is marked P5)  I have a spare part HP 460W PSU I could use, but it is not a connector that would work. So I hesitate to buy Corsair or the EVGA without knowing if I'll be able to plug into this weird DVD connector in the HP Envy.

    Someone out there has run into that and find an answer?

    Bill

    Optical drives are still a thing? Wow! Any ways OP. On these new machines. HP uses a slim with an owner drive

    Connector for it. You won't find it on the other PSU. You will have to abandon the drive if you replace the stock PSU.

  • The upgrade of the power supply for a HP Pavilion 500-054

    Hey people,

    I'm changing the 500-054 flag so that it can play a few games, not a hardcore gamer, just want to be able to play the occasional game. I want to get a lower end external video card, but this requires a power supply greater than 300. I am looking for a new power supply for my computer, but I couldn't find one for the 500-074. Are the ones that will work for my computer or I am a hopeless case?

    Thank you

    A standard ATX power supply will work. Please look at the Corsair CX430, CX500, CX600, or their variations of modular cables for your needs.

  • Replace the power supply, computer does not turn on

    I had a Seasonic SS 560 KM power supply for my HP Pav e9280t.  I removed the old power supply while keeping the power cable is plugged in.  Then replaced each power cables one at a time in the new power supply and finally he attached to the tower.

    Now when I try to turn on your computer, it just boots barely upward.  I can hear the fans kick on for a second or two, then everything just stops.

    Since I replaced the cables one at a time I don't think I missed anything; MoBo, Fan of MoBo, 1 optical drive, disk HARD 2 and 1GPU.  The tower is open and I can see the fan, the fan GPU MoBo and PSU fan all hang on one second so that they get the right power?

    I must have missed something or possibly faulty PSU?  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello Chadow86, it is possible to the new power supply may be faulty. I would check double all the connectors again.

    Since you mentioned the fan to the motherboard, it would not be necessary to unplug the CPU fan when you changed the power supply. The CPU fan power source comes from the motherboard and not directly from the power supply. I don't know what fan on the motherboard you are talking about.

    I watched the specifications and photos of the new power supply. It is a modular design. I would check the cables connected to the power supply to make sure that they are in the correct connectors.

    If the system still does not start, the cause could be a new power supply faulty.

    I hope this helps.

  • Pavilion m9400t CTO: connection cable of the power supply to a Pavilion m9400t CTO

    I installed a replacement PSU which has more cables and a few different - no problem on the identification and plug 20 + 4, 4 + 4 on the MB.  Also, no problem connecting to the SATA cables for drives (HARD drive and two optical drives).  There is a PCI-E cable, which without doubt, I do not for my graphics card NVIDIA to address (original) does not have a connector to it.   But I am confused and I want to be sure, I'm not spoil, I have another cable with connector Molex 4, nowhere I see to connect.  Without doubt, it is for the power supply of the fans and other devices - my PC feeds its fans of the power supplied to the motherboard? Can I just ignore that cable operators, for now?

    If you're implying that all your existing devices have power wires going to then simply ignore them the molex connector 4-pin.

  • HP Pavilion 500-326na: upgrade of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-326na

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na. I now want to update its graphics and to do this, I need to power level. I want to upgrade to a CX500, but the specs say that his current power is "external". I don't know what this means, and indeed, I don't know if I will be able to upgrade. I see no reason why I shouldn't be, but everything I've seen only offers assistance on internal types.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Look at the power supply cord.  If you have a device of black brick similar to those for portable computers, then you have an external power supply. PC with external cannot be upgraded with the installation of an internal power supply as a Corsair CX500 according to HP internal.

  • Replace the power supply in a Studio Slim s 540

    Hi, I bought a 540 s Slim of Studio in November 2009 and now I've decided I want to make games a bit. However, it runs a little hot, and there is not enough energy for a new card. I think I have a power supply that is 300w.

    I was watching a GTX 460 or ATI 5850. The 5850 is probably too much for the case. So I thought to replace the case by something simple but effective. I like this:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16811119137&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-RSSDailyDeals-_-na-_-na&aid=10521304&PID=3136390&SID=

    This case should be quite good, with the addition of a fan or two perhaps.

    Now to my next problem. I keep everything in the Studio Slim to the stock, the Quad Core, 6 GB of ram, etc. The only thing that changes is the power supply and graphics card. However, I've heard Dell Mobos/PSU are owners and making it difficult to replace PSU. I have need around a block power 400w-500w. What is compatible with the dell motherboard chipset? Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Some of my features, if it helps:

    Motherboard: Dell 0M017G A00 P45/P43 chipset
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
    RAM: Twin 400 mhz (DRAM frequency) 6 GB DDR2 memory
    HARD drive: Western Digital 7200 RPM 32 MB Caviar Black

    PSU: bed 10A 125v so I think that its to 300w?

    deuce985

    The Studio 540 Slim has a 250w power supply.

    The power supply is a standard ATX format, but due to the constraints of the 540 Slimline case, it is a unit of owner of Dell, due to its shape, size, and the wiring harness.

    If the motherboard has been installed in a box ATX Mini/Mid Tower standard, more generic standard ATX power supplies can be associated, either a 24-pin or 20 + 4 pin main card mother power connector, with or without the on/off switch.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Note: You need a diet with four SATA power connectors.

  • HP Elite 1090-T H8: seeking your suggestions for upgrading the power supply for a new video card

    I have a HP EliteH8-1090 t who is about a year, but with an AMD Radeon HD 6570 low power graphics card and a 450W power supply. I want to upgrade the 650W power to support the installation of a replacement graphics card.

    I tried to replace the HP 450W with Corsair TX650 and Corsair TX850 food. The system appears to power (DVD drawer opens and closes, the hard disks spin, fans run) with either a Corsair, he's stuck at this point. My system is unable to enter start mode when either power supply is installed - it seems stuck in a mode of seed, and the monitor still asleep.

    Can someone please advise on a compatible power supply for HP system? I'm puzzled by why a simple exchange of a power supply does not work. Just like a record, the system has a card mother Pegatron IPMTB-K (Truckee).

    Thank you!

    No problem. I wish you good luck with it. On a positive note the HX650 is a much better than the TX650 ILA unit internal quality and what I like is the best it's quite fan fan much quieter than the TX650 while helping your organization of cable being modular and help keep temperatures cooler in your computer case.
