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:

Here is the Service Manual:

  • Envy Touchsmart 15-j040us: trying to upgrade my Touchsmart 15 keyboard

    I would put the keyboard on my laptop to a backlit keyboard. I have an envy Touchsmart 15-j040us; a HP technician told me that the motherboard is C8N73AV, based on the serial number of my laptop. I currently have keyboard 720242-001 (not backlit) and it seems that 720244-001 is the correct keyboard for the backlight.

    My question is my motherboard has the correct port to connect the backlight ribbon cable or not. I want to assure you that my motherboard will support the upgrade before the tear in my laptop just to find that it will not support the upgrade...

    Thanks for any help!

    Your laptop has the pointer stick keyboard? I searched the manual and there is no different motherboard only so that the keyboard model so, the assumption is that all motherboards have the plugin for the backlight cable. The problem is that the process to remove and fix the backlight cable is not documented in the manual. Removal and replacement of the keyboard also appears to require complete disassembly, including removal of the motherboard.

    Manual

    See p. 95. Sorry I can't be more definitive but I would say as my best guess that all motherboards have the connection for the backlight cable.

    I want to spend as a result of:

    From the following link, I discovered that the RAM should be SO-DIMM DDR3L-1600 with 1.35 volts

    Now my questions,

    1. I currently have two 4 GB of RAM at 800 MHZ. If I buy a 8 GB 1600 mhz and use with one of the 4 GB of RAM I have, it's going to work?

    Hello

    The following manual will answer most of your questions:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

    1. not all the RAM sticks are the same. My suggestion to use Crucial to get the right result:

    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/memory-info

    2 Max is 16 GB as mentioned on page 2 of the manual,

    3. as #1 above.

    4. all standard SSD can do, you can see as Crucial to the right, and you can buy on Amazon after obtaining the right of Crucial.

    Finally, you need ONLY the caddy if your goal is to install 500GB SSD on the second span.

    Kind regards.

  • Windows 8 or 8.1 update? HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in - One desktop PC 23-d260qd

    I just bought the HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC 23-d260qd and it happens today. I wonder if it is better to upgrade to Windows 8.1 instead of windows 8. It seems that several people had problems with the upgrade. I just got my computer today and have yet to open the box, but I wanted to know what OS is better and how I would go about updating Windows 8.1 must be optimal. My computer specs are below:

    • 64-bit Windows 8
    • • 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 - 3770S processor [3.1 GHz, 8 MB of shared cache]
    • • 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT610M [DX 11, 3. 0a MXM]
    • • 12GB DDR3 1600 MHz SODIMM [DIMM 2]
    • • 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
    • • Microsoft Office Trial

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help!

    Create a recovery disk set before even considering the upgrade.

    If you are not yet accustomed to Windows 8, then give yourself a little time to get familiar with before committing to an upgrade to Windows 8.1.

    I prefer the upgrade of Windows 8.1, in particular the return of the Start button, it is not the same as the Start button was before Windows 8.

    Important factors for Windows 8.1 are available on the web support download portal for your PC.

  • ENVY TouchSmart 17 t-j100 Quad Edition - possible updates to level?

    17 t-j100 Quad Edition ENVY TouchSmart

    The CPU is not welded in place, but you will find that there is not much possible improvement. It is a processor i7 to 4th gen and even if you could get a one tick or 2 more quick, that the price would be astronomical, not to mention you would void the warranty. Not worth it.

    No GPU upgrade is possible. The video is on a chip welded to the card.

    Yes, the laptop has a second hard drive Bay and you can get an SSD (ordinary full size) to put in the first Bay to use as the startup disk. This will speed up there a lot such that you will not want to upgrade the CPU more.

  • 15 clicks Ghost Envy TouchSmart

    Hello

    I need to make this folder somewhere - thing

    My HP Envy TouchSmart E3S19UAR 15 had a problem of ghost-click with the touch screen from the first day. I did all this as recommended on these forums (and), including all updates, reinstall crushed, blah blah blah. Even sure my screen is clean and all other physical possibilities are excluded.

    The problem, like many others on these forums, comes after Windows puts the system to sleep. This happened under Windows 8.0 and continues under Windows 8.1. It goes right now.

    For some time, I thought the problem was solved - but then this weekend, my battery died suddenly. You see, in order to solve the problem, I had changed my setting of the system of 'Always On' power and changed other settings that Windows has gone to sleep. To realize that, I changed power settings back to "sleep mode"... and of course, in the awakening of his first sleep in a few months, ghost-clicks of the system started up again.

    This is why I write - I am a few hours away from my expiring warranty (it is daylight saving time of 22:00, 20:00 for the time zone apparently used here). People of guaranteed phone HP just me transferred to the support paid and was told that the warranty service would not help. The website of HP warranty, confirms nevertheless that I am still under warranty. (Yes, I have screenshots and documents printed with the stamps).

    So I intend to continue tonight if I can and certainly tomorrow (Monday) when there is hope that American support. Since I don't know how else to do this thing on the record, I post here.

    Please help, someone from hp. I'll call.

    Thank you.

The left hinge has separated from the main frame causing the bottom of the laptop to get out of the upper part. Fixing of the screen is still fine. The right hinge has not failed yet, but with the extra pressure in this regard, it may be only a matter of time.
