SSD Pavilion dv6-3118sa compatibility

I have a Pavilion DV6-3118sa laptop and the hard drive died without warning. I want to know if I can take this opportunity to replace the defective drive with an SSD.

Does anyone know if the machine is compatible with the SSD. I would like to replace it with an SSD of the same size as the HARD original (500 GB) disc.

Any help would be appreciated as there is no useful information in support of HP from their site.

Yes, a SATA SSD drive can replace a mechanical drive to SATA.

You do know that a 500 gig SSD drive will be $350 and up, right?

  • Pavilion DV6 3000 Entertainmet: Need help to install an SSD for my laptop

    Hello everyone, I want to get a SSD for my notebook to use as first HDD and system C, so I can have a better communication and speed faster for the system (like rendering, export audio & video).
    I can do in my HP Pavilion DV6 3000 entertainment? What type of SSD can adapt to the system?
    Running on Windows 10 (recently updated), Intel i5 M520 @2.4 GHz, Ati Radeon 1 Gb HD, 4 GB DDR3 Ram... HARD DRIVE 320 GB

    I don't want to talk negatively about a manufacturer's product, but it is a fact that we saw a few compatibility issues raised here on the Forum about an old series of SSD Crucial, the MX which is not what you're asking about. I have used other than the MX series Crucial SSD successfully, but they are not my first choice. Crucial is a very reputable company and will remain fully behind their product. If they say it is compatible you aren't risking anything to try it.

  • HP pavilion dv6-7045ez: impossible to start SSD

    Hello, I changed my old HDD to SSD (Kingston hyperX fury 240 GB, controller SandForce® SF-2281). I tried to install windows 7, windows 10 and debian, but I still have the same problem, during installation reboot to complete, it is impossible to boot from SSD. My opinion is that the controller is not compatible with my pc (HP pavilion dv6-7045ez).

    I found crucial.com who all say the ssd compatible with series dv6-7XXX (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/HP-Compaq/pavilion-dv6-7xxx-series-%28intel-ddr...). Can I trust her?

    I understand that you have replaced your disk by a (fury of hyperX Kingston 240 GB) SSD and are able to install Windows, but not able to boot to it later. When I checked HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service of Guide, the Kingston drive is not part of the recommended replacements. That doesn't mean it won't work, only that it is not tested and the result is unknown. It may or may not work.  You can find this informative document. HP Notebook PC - Solid State Hard Drives.

    My product number phone: A7P17EA #ABV
    I'll be glad if you help me
    Thank you

    Probably not with a 2d gen i5 processor, but it does not matter. It will support an SSD SATA-III, even if the SSD transfer is limited to SATA-II. It will always be very, very fast and you will never see no practical difference. Download the SSD, you will not be sorry. Let us know if you need help most.

  • Compatibility of the broken keyboard Pavilion dv6

    Hello

    I have a keyboard broken on a:

    Laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6110ez (LS222EA)

    I checked the keyboard is faulty by testing virtually everything and then disconnected - manic BIOS, beep stops. In the contrary case, the PC boots, so it bascially functions and also perfectly fine.

    There are also a few messages in the forums with similar symptoms - false characters appearing, "auto-repetition", etc.. Seems to be a classic problem, but makes the PC unusable without an external keyboard.

    The replacement part is 640436-BG1 - Swiss layout (the original HP & Flextronics P/N is 634139-BG1).

    But this part is not available to the user of part of HP or through HP replacement parts shop, or at the local (Switzerland) offical HP parts supplier.

    The exact part is available from 3 Parties at an apparently inflated price, but not locally (--> customs issues!)

    I can get a similar piece (570228-111) from a local supplier at a price reasonable. They claim that the compatibility is a fairly wide range of HW dv6-6xxx and 7xxx dv6, dv6-6110sw dv6-6117eg, which seem to correspond to the models mentioned in the service and maintenance guide relevant dv6 and (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf).

    The local official HP supplier can also deliver this one but wouldn't listed no compatibility.

    Keyboards are certainly pretty standard and interchangeable enough individual within the same range of models (makes economic sense), if someone can give me some advice on what replacement keyboard would work in practice?

    Work P/N 570228-111?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Patrick

    Thanks for the tip, this is the cheapest around a good margin, but they offer only in the United Kingdom and I live there :-(

    He also says "Call for availability", hmmmmm...

    I think I'll just grit my teeth and pay the "part replacement premium" after all. At least the 'proper' Party will certainly work.

  • Pavilion dv6-1255-EA: upgrading ram and HDD to ssd

    Hello, my laptop (pavilion dv6 1255-EA portable entertainment I bought 6 years with core 2 due processor, 4 GB ram, 500 GB HDD and AMD catalyst HD 1 GB graphics card) is running a bit slow so I however get a new ssd and / or more than ram would make it faster, I currently have 4 GB of ram and 500 GB hard drive installed in my laptop and I was woundering what are those that I can? Are crucial bullsticks 8 GB of ram and 7 with 9 in ssd adapter compatible? I need an answer as soon as possible because I saw some discounts on these on amazon so that I won't have to wait for black Friday to get them again. And it would also be good if someone also indicates what screwdriver I use.

    Hey @Ajijawi,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I came across your post on the HP Pavilion dv6 - 1255ee Entertainment Notebook and eager to replace the hard drive of 9.5 mm or increase the RAM. Even if it could adapt to the Notebook ok. Queues screws could be different. Here is a link to your service manual page 69 for the hard card. I would really check this before buying new HARD drive. You may need to change so it does not move. The 500 GB SATA 6 GB/s SSD internal SSD 2.5 "would work for this model of laptop including that you have an AMD System.

    This laptop supports up to 8 GB memory system DDR2, 800 MHz, PC2-6400, page 1-DIMM 32 of the manual above.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion DV6-6135dx: Replace hard drive SSD

    Unfortunately my old HD optical 640Go dies and I need to replace it.  I would use an SSD.  Can anyone give me a suggestion on a good option and if you did, how does it work?

    Hi @sdlloyd,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Guide's Forums:

    Learn how to post and much more.

    I understand that the original 640 GB hard drive has failed and you plan to install a SSD drive.

    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide. Please note Chapter 3, page 36, section 1, the recommended replacement disks.  You will notice the 160 GB SSD is recommended only if you have an Intel processor.

    When I checked it Pavilion dv6-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC specifications , you have an AMD processor.

    Other drives may work, but as they are not tested, there is no guarantee that it would be.

    Here is a link to a post of @erico   Re: how to upgrade your laptop to a SATA 2.5 "SSD [new] which has helped other people install SSD drives for you to look over.

    Please let me know what you decide and the outcome.

    Yes, it will be.

  • Pavilion DV6 2155dx: upgrade HARD drive to SSD

    I want to upgrade my laptop Hp HDD to the SSD. Very successful on the 2 HP desktops. But not a great success on the laptop. Windows does not start with the installed SSD. Black screen with how to text of amendments, but no solution. Checking the BIOS it seems too basic and has no provision to select the correct setting. How can I upgrade the laptop to recognise and start of the SSD, as desktop computers.

    Problem solved. Maybe this helps someone else.

    For reference, the SSD HARD drive migration has been completed with Samsung software tools.

    Although a similar migration was very successful on 2 offices of HP prior as the PC starts fine, this time the laptop set to level did not boot from SSD.

    Based on the reviews elsewhere on the web, with the portable operating from the original HARD disk, I adjusted the BIOS boot sequence to boot from the internal CD-ROM. I was then already migrated SSD HARD drive. Then I started from a prior agreement prepared the repair Windows 7 Bootable disc - now I know why they are so very precious! - and started to repair startup disk said. After a few additional steps miners, he says the problem fixed and carried out traditional, clean startups.

    Also, I can confirm that the Pavilion DV6 works very well with a 250 GB SSD. Most good, this is a speedster. There is therefore no limitations to 160 GB the HP Document seems to suggest.
