HP Pavilion dv7: Laptop shuts off from overheating

Tue, 07 May 2019 01:50:31 -0700

My HP Pavillion dv7-1444us, AMD Turion x2, 64bit shuts off when it is on for about 10 minutes or less. When I touch the bottom, it feels very hot. Therefore, I think either the CPU fan is not working or the entire heatsink and CPU is not working anymore. Taking apart this laptop is time consuming and somewhat difficult because I have to open the bottom, then the top to get to the fan after removing all the tiny screws and cables. My question to someone who can help me is how can I be certain that it is definitely the cooling system that it is causing this problem?? Does anybody have the same problem with this HP dv7 series too?

Any help is appreciated!

HP Pavilion dv2700: System won't boot just a blinking cursor

Mon, 02 Jul 2018 06:10:29 -0700

I've been working on this HP pavilion dv2700 and it won't boot. when I access the BIOS the scree only has the date and time that can be changed. There is nothing for the hard drive or the boot sequence.

On the screen when I turn it on just has a blinking cursor.

Thank You all for your input... It turned out that the hard drive is dead. I installed a known working drive and it would not power up. As a result I'm trashing this laptop and selling it for parts.

Thanks again for your help

HP Pavilion dv6000: Speakers are not working, could they be blown?

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 14:33:06 -0700

Speakers stopped working. I have had people look at it and they think the speakers may be blown. Headphones sound great. When I click on mixer and sounds, everything looks good.

Can the speakers be replaced? If so, where do I buy them? What's the cost and how do I replace them exactly?

Thanks,

Ross

HP Pavilion dv9000: Laptop shuts down after 1 second

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 02:33:28 -0700

When pressing the power button, the lights flash on and you hear the fan - but after a second, the computer shuts down. Then after 2 seconds starts the process over again. Once it is in this state, the only way of stopping it is by removing the battery and the power cord.

Thanks. I sent the computer to HP and they replaced the motherboard.

HP Pavilion 15 P Series: Is this even worth installing an SSD in? Will it help the performance?

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 03:24:16 -0700

I inherited the laptop from my family, who asked me to erase it and didn’t want it back (I got to keep it this year, well past its prime). I tried using it as-is, I can’t; it’s too unbearably slow.

While I am not opposed to installing an SSD, the version I have is pretty abysmally specced (A10-4655M/8GB DDR3L - hard to access/15” 768p TN LCD/Realtek wireless/1TB HD - Samsung ST Spinpoint), so the specs are a pretty serious negative on this one. I even tried to use it once and I hung it up again when it took 10 minutes to startup fully; I was tired of waiting.

How much will an SSD help this laptop? Like I said, not opposed but the CPU and overall performance was pretty bad at the time, so I was hesitant to do so after that.

Some of the keyboard keys (g,h, and backspace, primarily) stop responding and I either have to push down hard on it, or hold it a long time, or mash it repeatedly until it pops up with one or maybe two instances of the letter I want where I'm typing.
