Re: Replacement fan needed

$

Replacing the fan requires a complete disassembly of the notebook. You will need jewelers screwdrivers,  steady hands and lots of patience.

 

Use the HP Partsurfer to discover which fan/heat sink assembly part number is required for your specific notebook. It is a simpler and very specific method. Once you have the correct part number use Google or Bing to find an online vendor who has the part you need.

 

Search by using the serial number of your notebook. Use the following link.

From the Maintenence & Service Guide: ( getting the correct part number is dependent  on the configuration of your notebook as seen below)

Hi,

 

>>>  Before thatthere waswindows 7

Yes, it came with Windows 7 Home Basic pre-installed

 

>> > the secondcardwasradeon hd6490m

Yes it has second card : AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB GDDR5 dedicated)

 

>>> the maximum resolution of 1600x900px, so the screen16+.

No, its original screen: 39,6 cm (15,6") High-Definition LED HP BrightView Display (1366 x 768). I don't think HP has any dv6 or dv7 laptop which has screen 16+

 

Now, please use the following information to determine what is the machine

Pavilion 15-bc014 or OMEN 15-ax000 NVMe upgrade

Hello,

I am interested to buy one of the following laptops:

HP Pavilion 15-bc014nl
• CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ
• Chipset: Intel HM170
• RAM: 16 GB di SDRAM DDR4-2133
• Memory: SATA 1 TB (7200 rpm); SSD M.2 128 GB
• Display: FHD IPS
• GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M (4 GB GDDR5)

or

HP OMEN 15-ax000nl
• CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ
• Chipset: Intel HM170
• RAM: 16 GB di SDRAM DDR4-2133
• Memory: SATA 1 TB (7200 rpm); SSD M.2 128 GB
• Display: FHD IPS
• GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 965M (4 GB GDDR5)

I suppose that the two laptops are identical on hardware level (except for the video card).

After the purchase I would like to install a Samsung SSD of type NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 (M-Key 2280) as 960 PRO or 960 EVO.

The two SSDs are FULLY compatible with the listed laptops?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

I have an Envy 15 x360 PC Touch. I can't remove the battery, it's not like a typical laptop where you can easily remove the battery and I don't know how to do it with this one. I have 7% left on my battery and it's plugged in, not charging. The light near the input for the charger is blinking white.

 

Can you help?

Re: Battery drain when shut-down (HP Spectre x360)

It was one of the possibilities that the SSD was the culprit, it probably was not going into shutdown regardless of command, it slowly drains the battery in sleep mode perhaps. New SSD NVME BAD DRIVERS FIRMWARE combo probably caused all this. Regardless, I'm very happy mine was fixed, other than this (and the lack of non-touch screne option), this laptop is a dream for the price.  Hope it works for you guys!

 

BTW, incase you guys missed in my last post, my set up is BIOS version F.04, fast startup is actually on, bios usb charge is off. 0 battery drain after shutdown.

  I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details). If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Hi,

 

That why I said could be damaged and If hardware damaged, driver won't fix it.

Re: What the Local Disk Z:

So far this fix has helped me get rid of the annoying z-drive (and WAN miniport drivers) problem. I downgraded AMD SATA Controller from v. 1.3.1.277 to 1.3.1.276. After that the z-drive simply stopped showing. I restarted +100 times and still no Z. I then updated to 1.3.1.277 again and the z-drive went back. Downgraded again and I haven't seen Z since.

i am wondering if there is a G2 socket motherboard (PGA_988b) that will work with the G7-1019wm?

 

I have currently ungraded the CPU from the p6300 to the i3-380m ($5 on ebay)  but the OEM G1 socket motherboard limits me to the i7-640m but i want to get into the next gen i-series so the built in graphics are better but i have to have a G2 socket motherboard..

Hi Chimney_83,

 

Thanks for the response, 

The model number 15-5090nz

Product number: K3F63EA#UUZ

The Bios installed is F.38 Rev.A, which is the latest I can find (July 16)

 

Running the diagnostics, just reports that there is no disk installed.

 

Is there a bios limitation on the size of the SSD?

After all it was a premature judgement.

 

in less than 24 hours 100% to 85% even after latest BIOS and USB disabled at BIOS. No Go!

Thank you! The drive will arrive this weekend. I'll post back to let you know how it goes and if I need help with the clone. I should have plenty of space for that.
