Swapped the HARD drive of the Pavilion G6 2264sa with a Pavilion G6 1331sa HARD drive / brightness not wking... !!
Hello
Hope everyone is well and wonder if anyone can help me. My problem is my daughter's laptop, she is in the middle of the student to College and all of his work is on his laptop which is a:
HP Pavilion G61331sa/1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8 - 3520M APU with Dual Radeon 6620 graphics card + 7450 M / 6 GB memory / dedicated graphics video AMD Radeon HD 6620 + 7450 M bi - GPU (1 GB of DDR3 memory) / 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) HARD drive / running Windows 7.
Unfortunately, my son accidentally spilled juice on the laptop. I quickly took all the preventive measures, turn off the power / battery disassembly / HDD and upsets the laptop. I also left in the closet of broadcast for a few days to dry out, then tried again. It lights up and the power light stays on and the fan works but the caps lock button warning light flashing and the screen remains empty, even when I try to use an external monitor via HDMI connections again the external screen is blank. It seems that most of the spill was on the left side of the keyboard because the keys are very sticky this side. I talked to HP to my problem that the laptop is still under warranty, however as we know that it does not cover accidents, and no, we don't have the coverage of the accident. My daughter is in the middle of exams a solution was needed pronto. It was suggested by HP techy guy to buy the modern equivalent with the same HARD drive and just change the HARD drive and update all the drivers.
I bought a HP Pavilion G6 2264sa / Intel® Core™ i3 - 2370M / 4GB memory / 750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive / graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 (up to 1.65 GB) running windows 8 (64-bit).
I changed the HARD disk as proposed and updated all the drivers. There was a slight problem starting up but just had to go into the BIOS at startup (F1 key) Startup Configuration / settings and do know the Boot from the HDD instead of CD ROM, etc.. The HP Pavilion G6 2264sa started with the G6 1331sa HARD drive and works very well. My daughter doesn't have to worry about spending time to find away around a new laptop and windows 8. everything is just where she knows that it is.
The only problem I have is the brightness (f2 and f3) doesn't seem to work and the screen is very bright degree to cause a headache. I have uninstalled and installed the graphics drivers but still no control over brightness...!
Any ideas where I have gone wrong?
Your suggestions and ideas will be very well received and appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
This computer does not display any right screen?
And caps lock flahs once in 4 seconds?
If it has been: is failled into a CPU and they want also to repair or change your motherboard.
In any case, go to a place and make planning expenditures compared with the price of your laptop.
Other way, the disk its ok so your girls its safe.
You are very wellcome.
If the HP Forum do not delete my account, I will have more pleasure and response.

Pavilion DV5 - 2040ca: Volume and brightness not display when changed
Hey all, I recently formatted my laptop, a HP Pavilion DV5 - 2040ca and I noticed that (even after installing the drivers), it does not display the current volume/brightness when it is changed via the shortcut keys associated with the F - keys. I was wondering which driver will enable this function on my laptop, because it would be good to have.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
For your laptop, the screen on a brightness/volume is provided by HP MediaSmart SmartMenu - you can download this from the link below.
Note: You should have at least 1 other MediaSmart software installed (any) before installing this.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp48501-49000/sp48552.exe
When the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

The menu label Muse with special characters when exporting html site, do not work
I create a web site with a menu navigation Muse. In the menu (labels), I have some special characters (Portuguese characters) as a and i (official, noticias) c. When I export to html format in a folder this menu buttons don't work - html link - http://agml.pt/agmlteste/ . But when I save the temporary link Business Catalyst site - http://agml.businesscatalyst.com/ keys work well. Thanks for the help!
The issue here is your host is not configured to serve the page with special characters names, but BC does not handle them correctly.
Right-click on your pages and choose "Page Properties". Go to the third tab, 'options', and clear the check box to use filename with the same name as the Page name.
Use a file name that does not contain these special characters and it should work fine.
See you soon,.

Replace the SAS 5i/r with PERC 5i
We have a SC1435 inherited a new client who has a SAS 5i/r that failed. The customer wants us to try to recover the machine online recoverthe of the 1 73 GB RAID array data.
With this in mind, we swapped the SAS 5i/r with a PERC 5i we have in our spare parts, in the hope he could read all the metadata in the disks to rebuild the table.
The drive is detected without problem, but no logical volume is detected.
Can someone advise on my available options, that is, if I can find an another SAS 5i/r from somewhere it would detect the logical volume, or I have the option to create a new table RAID1 on PERC, but will it hose existing data, or perhaps another option, I did not thought.
Thanks in advance
Hello
SAS 5 only supports migration to another SAS 5, but you should check to see if a foreign configuration is detected on PERC 5 just in case.
Yes, install another SAS 5 should allow the table to be detected. It is possible that the table has been altered after the failure of the former Comptroller, so a data recovery company may be required if the table is not seen by another SAS 5.
Thank you

Hi all
Please be gentle, im not new to Vmware, but new to powershell/powercli and need your help.
cli power can make or y at - it tools available that will do that for me?
I need to generate a list of all the files of the virtual machine in all stores of data available for cluster and their sizes to go with it.
I am mainly interested in the .log files and vmdk files, but I don't mind if it lists all.
I don't mind how his im laid out not after anything fancy just a list of output type something like

I did some research but there is nothing I have found that it will make.

Yes, it's a 'characteristic' knowledge when using PowerCLI 4u1 against a VI 3.x environment.
There is a way to workaround, try this

HP Pavilion g6-2240ea Notebook: plugged in, not charging to help!
Hello!
I bought my HP Pavilion 2240ea g5 in April 2013. Everything worked smoothly, until I started noticing, he had stopped charging. It works very well with the adapter plugged in, but it will not load. Initially, he read (95% charged, plugged in, does not support), but now it has 0% fee and does not charge. I ran several diagnostics on HP Support Assistant, who said that my battery is fine and is in need of calibration. When testing of charger of HP running, it shows that my charger is charging once more, only for it to end a minute later. I also tried to uninstall the battery software Microsoft in the section battery Device Manager/Programs, but it does not work. I also tried the method of closure, withdrawal of adapter, press and hold the power button / stop, turn on again with the battery, turn on with just battery etc. But it does not work.
He has not charged for about a year now, so even if my battery is almost his second year, he stopped the charge after only one year. I thought must be replaced, but the HP support assistant help desk suggests my battery is very well and is seems not fresh, but only when the diagnostic runs.
I would be grateful for a little of help and advice on if I should just buy a new battery.
Thank you
Hi @MegantheRose,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion g6-2240ea Notebook and questions with the load. Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery. Here is a link to test the ac adapter.
I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You can restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload of the default settings of the BIOS that could help and only updates that go through the HP Support Assistant.
Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some troubleshooting problems.
Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Possible to move the Pavilion DV5 hard drive to the newer model?
Hello.
I have a little old (but LARGE) laptop - DV5 - 1133ca (FS036UA@ABC) that has intermittent problems with the display.
It blinks and goes sometimes totally blank. Then I plug in an external monitor and continue to work. A few days later, he can work or not. Fix sometimes repositioning the screen slightly with the hinges. I'm sure it's some sort of cable inside or something.
In any CASE - due to time and complexity with the upgrade to a new laptop (reloading programs, etc.) and the daily use of it - I was wondering if it was possible to buy a new laptop HP OR a model slightly more recent HP Pavilion (IE. Dv6 and DV7 with a little more power) and simply swap my hard drive.
I understand that I would have probably to update many of the drivers - but in general would that work?
Y at - it or the particular models that I should consider to mitigate any possible problems?
Is this a good solution?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Bill

To replace the DVD drive with the second HARD disk on the pavilion DM4-2000
Hello
I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?
Any help appreciated,
Tim
You need a car adapter. Your laptop uses 12.7 mm optical readers and you need this card:
https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-01/
Here is the Service Manual:
See Page 45 for replacement instructions.
You place the additional hard drive inside the adapter, then swap the front to make look it good.

Hello
I have a Pavilion HPE - 580t with windows 7 installed. The original drive (Drive1) has (according to Windows Disk Manager), a 100 MB system partition, a partition of 1 GB operating system and recovery partition. The drive began to generate disk errors. I added a second SATA (lecteur2), which has been recognized in the BIOS - it always appears at startup.
I do not have to implement a system of lecteur2, but re-installed Windows 7 100 MB partition using lecteur2 as boot drive (not a cover), and it works fine, for most. Reader1 still generates errors and slows down the office, but if I disconnect reader1, lecteur2 is ignored at the start, as the Bureau attempts a network boot. I have confirmed in Windows OS is the start of the lecteur2, not reader1, but once again, lecteur2 is ignored as boot device if reader1 is not present. I should add that this was the case when I was reinstalling the OS, I tried unplugging reader1 prior to re - install, but could not do and still access lecteur2.
I tried to go up during the boot sequence in the Setup (F10), no change. One additional thing - Setup (F10) is available that when reader1 is connected - F10 key has no effect at startup if reader1 is detached. F10 Setup runs from the system on Disk1 area? Any ideas on what I need to do to drop Drive1?
Thank you
David
I can now tell you 2 things on your system.
(1) the original hard drive is 1.5 TB and that is embedded in the tattoo of HP.
(2) you cannot use a disk less than 1.5 TB as primary drive.
Never seen a facility like this scheme start between readers. The only way I see on this perdictament is to remove the 1 TB drive and let the process of recovery of re - install the operating system. Then immediately clone the original on a new disk of 1.5 or 2 t. Attention to not exceed 2 TB. Seagate and WD has a free program for Disk Wizard for cloning option.

Can't access 2nd HARD drive on the Pavilion p6220nl?
I had installed a second HDD SATA in my Pavilion p6220nl desktop computer by unplugging the DVD/CD player with its SATA data and power cables. He succeeded and I was using my regular hard drive so my new drive to HARD drive for several weeks.
Once my new SATA cable arrived, I tried to reinstall my DVD/CD player that I had also only 2 SATA power connectors. Instead I tried to use very low power for the new HARD drive connector. Result, I can not access my new HARD drive. I tried back (i.e. unplugged my DVD/CD drive again and using this SATA power connector instead) and it still won't go.
I updated my BIOS and tried everything I can think of, but without success. If anyone can help? Is there indeed a Molex Pin 4--> adapter SATA connector? Could I have ruined my new HARD drive with the two small connector and power cables attached SATA power connector? Is there a specific SATA ports they need to go in.
Currently the situation is now:
SATA Slot 0 - drive DVD/CD (data cable connected only)
1 - usual HD SATA connector
SATA connector 2 - new HARD drive
Slot SATA 3 - empty
Appreciate any advice or assistance.
Thank you
Stephen
