Your brand new laptop comes with a "certified HDD repair?

The hard drive of my laptop HP G72-B63NR just crashed. I bought new in January 2011, but has not bought any expansion of the warranty, so I'm totally ready to get a new hard drive and restore the system myself. However, to my surprise, when I remove the hard drive, I discovered that it is a "certified repair HDD" Seagate!

I googled and found a post of someone saying that their HP computers at work are like that too. Does anyone else have the same experience?

I bought the laptop brand new, so I don't know that the hard disk provided with the laptop because I have not changed my hard drive. As I said, I'm ready to get a new drive myself, but it really leaves a sour taste.

Thank you very much for the information. According to our database, your system's hard drive is replaced in July 2011 in an HP service center.

  • New laptop comes with Windows 10, want to install Windows 7 in place but freezes everything in

    Just got an Acer Aspire ES 15, which came with Windows already installed 10.

    I do not like the windows 10, would be nice instead of Windows 7.

    I tried to boot from my CD with Windows 7, but once I did the "loading files" bar and I'm on the 'starting Windows' screen, four circles colors that generally revolve around all loading, just freeze and the installation does not go further?

    Any help would be appreciated. I tried to boot from a USB, but when I hit F12 I not give me the option to boot from it!

    Thanks guys, but I think I have actually solved!

    For someone who has similar problems, do pass the boot sequence in the BIOS of UEF1 inheritance. Freeze DVD ROM? When you come to format, we'll tell you that Windows is unable to format one of your readers because they are GPT partition style.

    To convert the GPT on the MBR, simply delete all partitions and create a new one. My Windows 7 is currently 17% in installation.

    For a long time I didn't do anything this techy on a computer, impressed!

  • New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot

    New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?

    If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.

    You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.

    If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.

    If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

  • New laptop / problem with Ports

    Hello, I bought a hp dv6 Clubhouse yesterday and I noticed problems with the positioning of the ports.

    First of all, when I inserted a USB stick in the usb port it seemed very tight and more difficult then it should have been. Second, the ethernet cord is stuck. I looked in the ports and compared them with my mother hp entertainment pc clubhouse and they seem to be at a strange angle.

    I know that's not good.

    However, we have a 3/4 year warranty on it.

    is this a regular event? A manufacturing defect? will they be able to replace it?

    If you face in fact a usability problem with the design of ethernet and USB ports, I would simply say to return it and get it exchanged. like this a brand new laptop.

    Also back up all the files is installed on this laptop, perform a system restore (restore to factory settings) on the laptop before returning it to the place where you bought it.

  • I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that?  Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that? Any recommendations? Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

  • Brand new laptop does not come with disks of windows, I need to reinstall windows what/where/how do I?

    I bought 2 new laptops. Both come with Windows already... so, if I need to reinstall windows... How/where/can do?

    Hello

    For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

    I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

    Here are the General options of relocation for you:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    See you soon.

  • Several BSOD on a new laptop computer with windows 8 is installed

    Hi all

    I got a new laptop ASUS G750jx two weeks ago and have had accidents since the first day.

    So far, I have tried various hardware diagnostic tools:

    Memtest - it ran for 19 hours in multi-threaded mode, made 11 passes and had no error

    Intel diagnostic tool - found no errors

    SeaTools - had no errors

    Fumark, 3dmark - without problems

    Ran system with controlled driver enabled, had accidents, but all associated with nt kernel and doesn't really give much information (I had updated to windows 8.1 right here)

    A few days before the reset everything back to the factory settings and had more luck getting references to specific drivers in minidumps, such as sortport.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and nvlddmkm.sys. Obviously, tried all latest drivers on the website of the manufacturer, but problems persist.

    Unfortunately I deleted the latest dumps, so I enclose precedents

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)

    This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory with a high IRQL.

    A driver tried to access a pageable (or that is completely invalid) address while the IRQL was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers who used a wrong address.

    BugCheck D1, {ffffffffffffff85, 2, 1, fffff880043a646c}

    We can see the 1st parameter is completely false and is in no way a valid address. We can check this:

    Interesting pile!

    We start somewhere in kernel mode with something going on - 0xfffffa80'12866000. Then we have a video driver nVidia bird call, a core of DirectX notifying a DPC, followed by a series of calls DirectX MMS dealing with all video Planner dealing with Direct Memory Access on a DPC.

    Shortly after that we remove references DMA, we call a pagefault.

    Regarding the statement us failed on:

    ADC byte ptr [rax + rdx-7Dh]

    With deference, we add a pointer that has been stored in the registers rax + rdx .

    -FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: IP_MISALIGNED_dxgmms1.sys

    Misaligned within DirectX MMS instruction pointer.

    ------------------------------------

    1. make sure you have the latest video card drivers. If you are already on the latest graphics card drivers, uninstall and install a version or a few versions behind the last to make sure this isn't a last number one driver. If you have already experienced with the driver of the card later and earlier versions, please try the driver beta for your card.

    2 if the above fails, you have not even need to test if there is a graphics card defective, because it is (or defective Board in general). You must then indicate the manufacturer what I just told you, and they shouldn't give you a hard time... If all goes well.

    Kind regards

  • OfficeJet 4630: brand new officejet 4630 with the problem of black ink and ok button does not work

    Hello! Today, I bought a new printer, officejet 4630 and it included ink cartridges in the box.

    ISET it upward as the sheet in the box said. After I had filled in date etc, I put in the ink (and Yes, remember to check it was compatible and take the Ribbon), then this message showed on the screen and still doesn't work:

    "Problem of ink cartridges. The following ink cartridges need to be replaced"and a black dot.

    The cartridges were brand new and came in the same area as the printer.

    I tried a reset (taking the power cord, wait 60 s etc) I saw in the Hp support you need to press 'ok' to get rid of the message before restarting. I can't press ok. It sounds right. I press any button.

    Suggestions? Of course, I can try it with a new cartridge, but to pay $20 for a new cartridge, when it was included in the box and should work is not correct.

    Hi @Candykuma,

    The iPad Pro WiFi + cell comes with a SIM card. Do not activate until you want to.

    After > 1.5 hours with the help of HP on the phone, I returned the laptop and got a new laptop from Costco. Too bad, I had to drive there to speed up the Exchange. My other offers from HP support was a day TAT 7 for them to fix it.
