TouchSmart 420-1000 t: Upgradable TouchSmart 420-1000 t

I have a 420-1000 t TouchSmart PC I'll be around 2011. I noticed the aging equipment and I want to know what parts of this PC I can upgrade. Specifically, I want to upgrade the RAM, the CPU and the GPU. Any help is appreciated

Hi there @harrybatt,

That the Forums are with you! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking or help with options to upgrade to the system you have.  I'm happy to help you with this.

Based on the modl that you gave, I think that a good guide would be HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t product specifications and configurable Optionsand HP and Compaq desktop PC - specifications of the motherboard, IPISB-NK (LavacaB) that shows the options to purchase, what would be the supported options.

Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • HP TouchSmart 420 - 1000 t CTO: need help with the installation of windows on a new hard drive for HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO (bought in 2012)

    My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

    I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

    I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

    Thank you very much.

    PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

    This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.

  • TouchSmart 420 wireless network issue

    I bought this system with Premium network interface because I was told of his two-channel.

    I can connect to my router to 802.11n and 130Mbs but I don't see the possibility of channel Bonding to take advantage of the second string

    http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wireless/f/80211n-300-Mbps.htm

    Here are my questions

    (1) is it possible with the current driver to take advantage of the second string (300Mbps)? If so, how?

    (2) is the wireless one adapter card in one of the PCI slots or is it integrated?

    Devil 3. Where are these PCI slots anyway? I can't see them not marked on the diagram of the motherboard and that you do not want to disassemble my system to find out immediately.

    (2) If an external sound card then what the external model of the card number wireless in my system? Room not the HP. I know it's a Broadcom.

    I have spent hours online with HP support and so far can't anyone in their chain of support who really knows what that something else on the networks so that tell them their response cards.

    OK, the solution, or at least an explanation.

    To find the card wireless in the expansion slot, you will need to remove the metal shield on the top of the motherboard.

    Once you do this, you can see 2 expansion slots mini which is the wireless network card

    The card I have is BCM943225HMB

    http://www.Broadcom.com/products/wireless-LAN/802.11-wireless-LAN-solutions/BCM943225HMB

    Single-band 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0 half minicards

    802.11n 2 x 2 offers maximum performance of WLAN in the 2.4 GHz band

    The long of it is so this system doesn't come with a dual-band wireless network card as told me by buying the upgrade instead, it is delivered with 2 x 2 as the documentation said.

    For those of you who want to know what it means actually the 2 x 2

    http://www.NetworkWorld.com/newsletters/2008/050508wireless1.html

    While its disappointing that I will not be able to achieve 300Mbps I can get a respectable 130Mbps using an 802.11n router and this card.

    Yes, that would be true, but that model is an all-in-one computer, it is not flexible for the replacement of the Board of Directors, as a regular desktop would be. You probably only have the option of a Board.

  • 1000 HP Notebook PC: Cannot use mic internal after upgrade to win 10 Home 64-bit

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 10 Home 64 bit on my laptop notebook PC HP 1000, Windows cannot hear the internal mic, I think that the signal of the microphone is too small. I can't use Cortana, Skype chat, or den. Windows says driver registration is still available and connected, but there is no signal recording.

    I have already uninstall and reinstall the driver from the site Web of Realtek and HP, but no effect. I also used Windows troubleshooting and HP Support Assistant, but he's still not normal.

    Can someone help me solve this problem. I really want to use all the features of Cortana.

  • HP TouchSmart 300-1120: the video card upgrade

    I came into possession of a HP Touchsmart 300-1120. I do not use not for the games just the navigation and use to watch movies when traveling through Plex home theater.

    I've updated the CPU to an Athlon X 4 605th & maxed out the RAM 8 GB. I noticed that I can upgrade the video card using the Mobile PCI Express Module slot.  Even though I know that the GPU Radeon HD 3200 onboard can handle HD videos, he hangs out considerably. even though I have the film on the hard drive.

    So the question is, where can find one of these cards. And is there a way to upgrade the PSU?

    Thank you

    Your PC AIO has a sleeve of MXM graphics.  The following video card will work. It was included in some models of PC.

    You need to search online to find a seller or a person who has one for sale. I see them on eBay for @ $35-50, 00

    The upgrade of the PSU is not a viable option.

  • HP Envy 15-j109TX Touchsmart computer laptop upgrade help

    Hello, my HP Touchsmart Envy 15 - j109TX laptop computer is shipped with 2 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 graphics. Can I put graphics or higher cards of 4 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT M 750 ?

    Also, I want to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB and a 2 TB HARD drive . Is this possible? I don't see any customization option in the HP Shopping Web site. So how can I do? also, thanks for mentioning about cost of upgrade of these.

    Hello

    Here are the specifications of product: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04031367

    Go through the Page 4 and 5 of the user manual:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768.PDF

    Upgrade options:
    Up to 1.5 TB drive HARD with no hybrid NAND support

    Up to 16GB 1600 MHz RAM with boost DDR3L dual channel

    Although Nvidia 750 M dedicated 4 GB card is indicate against the graphics options, I think not that this is possible because actually nvidia in this model is not as a card but more a chip which is attached to the motherboard. I think you need to contact HP in your area directly for this.

    It will be useful,
    Thank you

  • Upgrade of an ENVY TouchSmart 17-j005ea

    I plan to replace my Dell with what would be my first HP laptop (a 17-j005ea ENVY TouchSmart), but I'm not sure if I would be able to upgrade.

    I'd be looking to replace one of the hard drives with a SDD and replace the DVD drive with Blu - ray burner, but I heard that the upgrade can be a problem with some HP laptops.

    These upgrades would be not possible for a person with basic experience of the PC?  (I create my own desktops and have upgraded discs and memory on Dell laptops without difficulty.)

    Depends on how you define the problem. Here's an announced a swap and go for replacement:

  • Remote control no longer works with HP TouchSmart 600 after 8.1 Upgrade Windows

    I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows only to find that my remote no longer works.  More than the volume controls integrated on the side of the TouchSmart computer work after the upgrade.

    Volume based keyboard controls have continued to function after the upgrade.

    All solutions?

    However I had no luck with the convenience store went into Device Manager and found it lacking the driver for the ARVA door.  I was able to download from

    The remote works now, but still no luck with the volume control on the side of the computer.
