upgrade HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00

Hi all

Honestly, I have very little knowledge on the computer, so please excuse me if my questions may sound stupid to you.  I am looking for a laptop for the end of the game, and decided instead to buy a new, hopefully update my only current.

I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 in terms of memory, hard drive and even CPU processor and graphics (if possible).

I have read the manual in PDF and have led to several questions.

1. He is described in the manual that I can improve my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB. But when I opened the top of the laptop, it seems to me that there are 2 slots for memory bars. Does this mean that I can spend a total of 16 GB of memory (2 x 8 GB)? And what type of memory who adapt and increase the performance of my machine?

2. on the hard drives, I currently have the HTSS547575A9E384 from manufacturing with 750 GB, 5400 RPM Hitachi. I wonder can I replace it with a hybrid drive SSD or a SCSI one or at least a 7200 RPM with top cover? Which do you think it would be a better option for me?

3. the graphics card I have currently is the Radeon (TM) HD 6490 M, and I would be upgraded to a Nvidia one.  It does not show on the manual how to remove and replace the graphics card. Can you please let me know to replace and what kind of options do I have?

4. I would also like to upgrade the card on my laptop wireless in the hope of improving connectivity. I currently have an Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 (model: 11230BNHMW) installed on my laptop. Can I replace it with an Intel Dual Band wireless-N or AC one? On the market at the moment there is a card wireless with bluetooth module as well, so if I install one of them, it would affect my bluetooth connectivity?

5. Finally, on the processor CPU, my laptop has the Intel Core i7-2670QM. If I want to update, should I replace the motherboard and graphics card also? Can you please show me what choice do I have?

I really appreciate your time and your help.

Better compliance

1 memory. You have the Intel version so the maximum is 16 GB (2 x 8) and your laptop uses DDR3-1333 and this type will work:

http://www.Amazon.com/634091-001-parts-quick-notebooks-PC3-10600-1333MHz/DP/B008I6LNZY

4 concerts for 16 concerts will be a major upgrade according to what you are doing. 8 concerts would probably be a lot and much less expensive that you just add a 4 GB module. For the money by adding a second module of 4 gig is your best update you will get a double benefit of total RAM increased and a two-channel operation, transfers of memory are perhaps 8 to 10% faster.

2 disc. Yes, the drive 5400 RPM holding back you. You can not install a disk scsi hard. Your interface is SATA. You can install a mechanical drive of 7200 RPM, a hybrid car or a full disk solid state, one of which would be a big improvement, the SSD improved considerable, but at a cost. Post back with your budget and we can give you the best options.

3. no update video card is possible. This is why the manual does not because there is no such thing. It's a chip welded directly into the motherboard.

4. wireless. HP seriously limits the wireless options, but there is a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 option that is a map of 2.4 or 5 ghz "N". See Page 59. You buy exactly the card HP with a part number of HP.

http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Intel-Centrino-advanced-N-6230-abgn-WiFi-Bluetooth-3-0-wireless-card-/171367189306?PT=US_Internal_Network_Cards&hash=item27e647cb3a

5 CPU. It is the strongest and best you can install.  Intel® Core® i7-2860QM 2.50 GHz (turbo SC until)
3,60 GHz) processor (FSB 1600 MHz, 8, 0 - MB L3 cache, dual core, 45 W). Frankly, not worth the significant expense and difficult. The CPU you can already be very capable.

None of the improvements that I suggest will turn your laptop into a game machine. If that's your goal, sell your laptop and apply the product with something that has the features you need.

  • Upgrade HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 processor

    I currently have a HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 with the 2GB Radeon switchable graphics card and an i7-2630QM processor. I watched the maintenance manual and the best processor I can update is the i7-2820QM. When I bought this machine, there was only the 2nd gen available i7s.

    Would it not possible to upgrade for a 3rd gen i7 processor? Specifically, the i7-3820QM? They have the same power of dissipation, and it would be much faster than if I switch to just the i7-2820QM.

    No, I'm not 100% certain, but certain to 99%.

    More 3rd generation processors require Intel 7 as the 3820 series chipset.

    Your a Intel 6 series chipset.

    There is no revision of BIOS listed on the support page and the driver of your laptop that adds support for any Intel 3rd generation of processor.

    You can also read the info on the link below which lists the supported processors with the chipset of your notebook can operate.

    Now, this list seems very important to me, and the BIOS of your laptop would have to have all the firmware for the processors listed, which I doubt, he does.

    In any case, you won't see the i7-3820QM among the long list of processors, they say, are supported in the HM65 chipset.

    HP decides which processors will work in what specifications and built the BIOS accordingly.

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel _ (chipsets) HM65_Express.html

    To be sure, I'd install only one of the supported processors listed in the service manual for your model.

    The only time where I go against that advice is if a BIOS update adds support for the latest processors are not not in the service manual, and it lists the new processors that will be supported by the update.

  • Pavilion dv6t-6100 Quad Edition (2nd generation) CPU upgrade

    I have pavilion dv6t-6100 Quad Edition laptop with one of the 2nd gen i7 processors. What type of upgrades to the graphics card and CPU can I do?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.  Intel processors supported are listed in Chapter 1, page 2.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02842252.PDF

    Graph cannot be upgraded, except if the card mother set is replaced.  Support Intel motherboards with various graphics solutions are in Chapter 3, beginning on page 27.  You must also pay special attention to the fact that the jury is for a processor dual core or quad.

    I would also add that the financial costs and monitoring of personal work to exchange the motherboard and the processor upgrade, would exceed the cost of buying another laptop with the processor and graphics card solution you're looking for, following the sale or your trade.

I currently have the original 6 GB of ram that came on the HP laptop, which includes a stick of 4 GB and 2 GB key.

    I want to spend the maximum amount of ram and the ram for maximum performance (speed). Analysis of Crucial.com says I have 6 GB of ram and the maximum ram is 8 GB. He also says that I can buy one (or two) 4 GB DDR3 PC3-12800. CL = 11.    NON ECC unbuffered.     DDR3-1600.   1.35v. here is the link for the crucial scan and recommendations:

    Issues related to the:

    The Crucial scan seems to direct me to the memory of better and faster that is listed in the Service Guide. My laptop took advantage of this Crucial memory to operate at faster speeds than the memory, I have now? What latency (CL) cases? I saw sticks to new Egg with CL = 9 instead of this Crucial CL = 11. CL is important? What I have to buy two Crucial 4 GB sticks or I can I keep my original 4 GB stick and add a Crucial 4 GB stick for my 8GB? Is Crucial memory memory low density -something I've read elsewhere that I need? FWIW, a diagnostic analysis of Norton said that my current memory is syncing to 1067 ns.

    I have also these two links below for key USB PNY to a Best Buy nearby. The first stick of memory PNY seems to correspond to the Crucial memory card. Is - this low density memory PNY memory? And yet once, can I buy a single stick of 4 GB and add to my current 4 GB stick? This 4 GB PNY stick below which seems to fit the profile of Crucial scan is what I would buy if he tell you it's compatible, because I can buy it at a Best Buy near and easily return it if it does not work:

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49022/Intel-Core-i5-450M-processor-3M-cache-2_40-GHz?q=%20i5-450M

    So, my recommendation would be for you to buy a module of memory 4 GB DDR3 PC3 - 10600 (1333 MHz).

    Thus, even the 1333 MHz chip will only work at 1066 MHz.

    I had a lot of success with this configuration of brand and the memory chip.

    Regardless of the brand you download, make sure he's 8 the little black chips of memory on each side of the Board, not 4.

  • Key Action WiFi does NOT work on Pavilion DV6t-7000

    I just got a new Pavilion DV6t-7000 Quad Edition laptop, and the first thing I did after I boot the system was to upgrade the operating system.  I have an MSDN subscription, so I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro (RTM).  Everything is great... except for the WiFi button.  It does simply not to turn on or turn off the WiFi connection.

    It always shows a white LED while the WiFi is on, and pressing the button does nothing.  Other action keys may work... the brightness, mute audio, etc.  If I disable the WiFi in the network Panel, then the light turns red.  As if she recognizes the WiFi it's takes no action to actually turn on or turn it off.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version, by the site of HP support for the 64 bit of Windows 8 OS, and I checked in the BIOS action keys are enabled.

    Can someone help me get this to work?

    Thank you!

    -Andrew

    Have you tested it before loading Windows 8 on it?

    Support of thing going before interview, that Windows 8 drivers are available or not, is to perform a recovery to the original embedded operating system.

    If it is a fault, the question would be present in the original Windows 7 operating system as well. I suspect that this is largely a software/driver problem.

    Also, I recommend the update to the BIOS before installing Windows 8. Windows 8 installations work differently with the BIOS that previous versions of Windows, so the end result would be different to reinstall Windows 8 from the version of the BIOS is different this time.

    However, I recommend he get back to Windows 7 in order to ensure all features is present.

    I know you probably don't want to go back in the recovery efforts there to Windows 7 and then put 8 on.

    By chance, you did the recovery disks for your system first? If this is not the case, they must be ordered from HP. You can try to use the Recovery Manager to create, but I don't know if it will work since the operating system has been modified.

    In all cases, whether it works or not with the original software, she shipped will help determine if it is a defect or not. More than likely, it is not and is only a matter of unfortunate compatibility with Windows 8.

  • HP Pavilion DV6T-3000: what are the processor i7 can this motherboard can I go to?

    Hello

    I'd like to update my CPU, but don't know which are supported by my motherboard.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6T-3000 series.

    Part of the motherboard: 615278-001

    Original CPU: i7-720QM

    In the dv6 manual (link below), it is mentioned that the Intel Core i7-740QM, i7-820QM and i7-840QM can used in general by computer laptop dv6, but it's not to specify which processor when with the motherboard.

    http://www.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02657339.PDF

    I would like to used the upgrade to i7-840QM, or at least i7-820QM or same i7-740QM as last resort.

    Will be my motherboard suport it?

    Thank you

    See page 22 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Unlike compatibility processor only in motherboards, it's that there are motherboards for dual core and Quad Core boards. If you have a Quad Core, you can install any other Quad Core. These mobile Intel Core i7 1 genQuads always tends to be expensive and I don't know how much delivery must be done by replacing one such Quad Core for another. The base clock speed increase would be only 1.6 to 1.86 ghz, which is not terribly important. On eBay the i7-840QM is still ongoing for over $ $100 and for that price you approach the cost of a 500 GB SSD, which would provide a lot more help to your user experience.

  • Pavilion DV6T: HP Support Assistant said there is a newer version, but will not install

    HPSA said that there is a newer version of the wizard of support, but when I clicked to install it, it does not install it.

    It's the screenshot showing what I get after that upgrade to the new version. How can I fix it?

    @DennyC

    HPSA 7.6.x version is perfectly acceptable, in my opinion - and by staying with Version 7.x, your HPSA still provides the focus feature, something lacking in the last series of HPSA V8.x.

    For later use, you can - if you want - download and install from Microsoft .NET Framework.

    Examples:

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer)

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (Offline Installer)

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 (Web installation program)

    Sidebar:

    You might consider to download copies of all your latest Windows 7 drivers Support Page your laptop - these support pages tend to stick around... until they don't.  You can save on your computer if you need copies later.  You can change the name of each .exe file to include a description of the driver, or you can download and keep a copy of the support page.  You can also check the properties of each of your downloaded .exe file to display the name of the content.

    It has two unknown device:

    1. PCI Express Root Complex

    Please help me!

    Thank you very much.

    The Unit came with Windows 7, or is it upgraded to Windows 7? If you upgrade, what was a facility on the spot or own?
    It was like that out of the box, or was it a recent development? Nothing changed at all before that? It is strange for drivers just disappear.

    Have you tried to use the automatic update of the Intel driver? If not, go here and select it. It must analyze and find the drivers for the listed products that both are involved with the motherboard and chipset.
