How to clean the dust: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07153

What Miss me is the instructions on cleaning the front end, so I've included the upgrade/REPAIR: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00841410.pdf

See the excerpts 1-5 to remove the side panel and the front panel. Clean the cover (front and back) and the low forehead, area F on pg7. The front panel has usually a grid or slots at the bottom. It's the front air intake. Imagine all the unwanted blocked upward, you will find.

For the air flow, never place the unit on a mat. If a floor, I found that place it on a 4 "top box will increase air. Make sure that the front panel extends beyond the edge of the box.

    That looks like someone trying to sound like they know what they're talking about, but in fact having no idea, but assuming you less than even that they will do - which gives the illusion that they know more.

    What is the computer make & model?

    You have picked up the machine, bought some canned / air compressed to clean electronics, has opened the computer (in the case of office) and blew the fans/bown case?  (You must blow out the vents of admission / a laptop computer in a similar way.)

    Seems to me a dirty system and/or a faulty fan.

    The official win7 ISO images can be downloaded here;

    http://www.w7forums.com/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-image-downloads-t12325.html

    You download the version installed on your HP, burn a dvd using ISO, software, the burning at the slowest speed, on quality discs, then install it using the Win Key on the label on your PC.

    You will then need to install specific drivers of HP, not of the preinstalled HP software will be at your disposal

  • Why can't I do a search in my external hard drive using Adobe Bridge CS6?

    When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try doing a search within my external hard drive, it will give my internal hardisk results only? This is the 1st time that I encounterd this strange issue. For this reason, I do my research with windows and then browse each result with bridge! which is really annoying.

    I solved the problem go on the search field and clicking the search icon where he will give a drop-down list of the 3 options, and then selecting bridge search: current folder and that solved my problem. Thanks for all help

    You can search for an external drive if the operating system permissions are OK.  Bridge, however, will not look on different drives.

  • IMac 27, making a strange noise in the rear lower left

    A few days ago that my Imac is strange a hum, which last usually 1 or 2 hours after I turn it on, then abruptly stopped. I tried all these things without permanent result:

    1 reset the SMC

    2 reset the PRAM and NVRAM

    3. clean the vents

    4. store any electrical device that might make the interference.

    My iMac details

    (27-inch, late 2012)

    2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 processor

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Thanks in advance!

    LuchoAGV,

    IMac 27 inches, model 2012 late has some elements that could make a noise in the section at the bottom left of the material.  Your steps so far have helped to understand what is happening!  There are a set of speaker on the lower left side of the computer, but also a hard drive Assembly.  Don't forget to back up your information as soon as possible in which case it is the last. If the problem persists when starting Internet recovery (computer turn off power then back on holding Cmd + Option + R), you can confirm that it is actually a hardware problem and will have to bring the service unit.

    You can perform a test of material using this article: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

    * Note * the hardware test does not include if there is a hardware failure.

  • Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

    I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The simple answer is Yes.

    (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

    (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

    (3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

  • Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6: need a new hard drive for the dv6-1230us

    My question is about the HP Pavilion Entertainment dv6-1230us PC. Recently, it was abandoned, and since then it has been giving me the following message if poster every time it starts.

    Not found boot device

    Please install an operating system on your hard drive.

    Hard Drisk (3F0)

    F2 System Diagnostics

    "For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

    I know it's important to run the hard drive test, but when I run the diagnostics of the system for the Test drive, it says:
    "HDD test failed.
    There is no hard drive.

    I was also on the proposed site and even after "reset my BIOS to default", it recommends running the hard drive test, which does not simply because it has not really helped me the "there is no hard drive. There was a YouTube video that I came across thus suggested pulling the hard drive and diconnecting and reconnect to correct the error in this case that the son is detached, but that no longer works.

    SO, I don't know if there is anything more that I can do, I guess that the hard drive is super dead.

    It comes with a Seagate ATA hard drive. I was wondering if I could replace it with a SATA hard drive or should it be an ATA? (Even has the material capacity to support a SATA drive?)

    Also, it is even useful to replace the hard drive? Should I get a new laptop instead? This laptop is used mainly for just browsing online and checking emails.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yes, the hard drive is so dead, that he not yet register as a hard drive. The dv6-1000 series certainly uses SATA, not ATA drives so I'm not sure of what you see. You can replace it with any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick.

    Watch this video between: 53 and: 59 and see that it's a SATA drive. If yours is different, so you have confused with your model.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=QQx7PlIXFuE

    Hard disks are a small fraction of the cost of a laptop and if your what it takes to, I would say that to replace the hard drive rather than buy a new one.

    It is an excellent drive at a great price:

  • HP Pavilion PC 13-p120nr x 2 - Add hard drive

    Have a new PC HP Pavilion of the 13-p120nr x 2-4 GB of RAM (chip of DMM3 RAM 8 GB already on the way), with 64 GB SSD.

    Issues related to the:

    -Can I add a HD if it did not come with one initially? (slim model? or a SSD HD as with other models split X 2?)

    -True IF, what guidance for HP kit? (for the HD or HD SSD? Estimated costs for the HD, Kit, or both?

    -Kit drive HARD HP includes the hard drive, or is it just some kind of support for the reader?

    -Is simply an addition of 'plug and play' (by simply taking the back off, install the support and HD in him plugging in and pressing power WE?) Technically not incompetent, but not a nerd from unix/linux/.NET of power or the other.

    -(More stupid Q no doubt) addition HD works in parallel with the memory of the State solid 64 GB already installed? Or does it come to the top as a drive "E:" or "X:" or something else?

    Best regards to all, thank you in advance for reading and answers. See you soon! Bob W, Bristol, RI, USA.

    Geez - Noone has information about this X 2 things? Or is it noone has anything on this particular model (13-p120nr x 2 PC)? Anyone? Thoughts? (or less suggestions on where to find suite learn more?)

    Hello BobW-Bristol-Rl

    I understand that you are trying to update your 13-p120m x 2 HP Pavilion PC and deals with the requirements for adding a SSD HD or HARD drive? Here I quote the User Guide for your laptop "for the additional capacity or features, connect an external drive (sold separately), such as an optical drive or a hard disk, or insert a card directly from your phone or your camera.» This information has been retrieved from page 50 of your user manual.

    As well as the manual says to your laptop, it's that you cannot add a second internal hard drive, but you can add external references those. I myself have 2 drives external hard one that I use as a return to the top of the storage device and the other as another operating system on it.

    Now if you are looking to replace your current SSD, I found nothing which limit the size or who says that you can't switch the internal SSD flash disk. I am including the Guide of Installation SSD HP Upgrade Kit for you to look at and see if it is an option for you.

    One last note, if you are inexperienced in this kind of replacement I wouldn't recommend what to do yourself. Local computer repair shops may charge you to do, but you know it's done properly, and it is not as expensive as replacing the entire notebook.

    I hope I answered your questions and wish you good luck. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    @Leady05 ,

    Hello and welcome to the HP support forums.  Sorry to hear about hard drive failure.  Now for the bad news.  There is no driver support for windows 8.1 for your laptop.

    The laptop was produced with Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit edition not windows 8 or 8.1, so it's drivers did not support to your system unless you reload Windows 7.

  • Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

    Hello together

    I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
    Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

    Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
    The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
    After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

    In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

    Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

    Anyone know a solution?

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
    It's worth to try ;)

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short DST check failure hard drive?

    I've had this laptop since around to last August and so far he has played normally without any problems. However, this morning the phone became unusable as it would freeze whenever I tried to open anything after the start. Because I could not activate McAfee security, which I do have but have had disabled for almost a month or two because he slowed a little games I rarely use all dangerous Web sites, I have activated the diagnostic system and quickly an error is found with the DST Hard Drive, with the UCWFXL error code - M 7, 7834 - MFPWL1 - 60VM03. I'm not entirely sure what this question means, but I clearly have to solve in order to make use of the laptop again. Since it is a problem of hard drive, this means the hard drive needs to be replaced? Don't assume that someone could tell me what measures should be considered now? Here are the tips from system, in case it is necessary;

    Hello

    Error code 24 characters confirm they failed short Self Test disk failure and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problems you describe.

    As your laptop is less than a year, he should still under warranty, so contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you live in the United Kingdom, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    CAUTION:

    Don't change any rider when the computer is turned on. May damage the motherboard.

    Clear the CMOS settings

    This motherboard has a jumper to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in the CMOS.

    1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
    2. Move the jumper to clear for 5 to 10 seconds, then move the jumper to return by default.
    3. Plug the power cord and turn on the computer.
    4. At the next boot, enter the BIOS to re - enter the user parameters.

    Erase PASSWORD settings

    The BIOS password is used to protect the settings of the BIOS against unwanted changes.

    To clear the password BIOS follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.
    2. Move the Clear jumper.
    3. Turn on the computer to POST screen
    4. Turn off the computer.
    5. Move the jumper to the default return
    6. Enter the BIOS to check or set the new settings

    If the host computer does not start, it's a maybe clone, depending on the reason for the "no boot".  If it's because of a hardware problem, so it might still work, but the best way is to use another computer and connect the hard drive to the PC using an external adapter USB to SATA, THE problem: http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-A12940-Drive-Adapter-Converter/dp/B001OORMVQ

    Then clone it on an external hard drive or use software backup, or both, just to be sure.  You said that there is an another computer available, then go ahead.
