above my keyboard, right above the F5 to F7 keys, there are touch-sensitive buttons that let you change the current song, stop song, pause/play and stuff. it works with windows media player any time, but with itunes it only works when itunes is the window that's opened at the time, is there any way to make it so it works with itunes any time? i use itunes more than media player and i'd rather it work with itunes instead
View 8 Repliesregarding purchasing a new motherboard for my HP DV6189eu laptop. The original one went dead with no screen and no bips at boot...
I know from some research that is common of that model of gpu (7200go) to die like that. So I am heading towards buying a motherboard with a different graphic chip, like a Intel one.
The original motherboard is spare number 443774-001. My main question is if I have to be careful in buying a new motherboard or just a new one for the same DV6000 series model with AMD socket is enough?
which new 15 inches laptop replaces compaq v6000 I am not talking about HP dv6000 I know both are same but different cpu and graphic card.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to upgrade a few things on my HP DV9743cl and I am having some problem finding out if the factory components will support the possible upgrades.
Processor:
T7250 ---> T9900
RAM:
3gb PC2-5300 ---> 4gb PC2-6400
I've actually purchased the PC2-6400 ram, but I'm curious if it'll actually run at this performance or stay at the PC2-5300 performance level after the install.
GPU:
NVIDIA GF 8600M GS ---> NVIDIA GF ?
Can this even be done since the GPU is integrated?
HD:
2x 160gb (which I think are at 5400 rpm) ---> 1x SSD Intel x25-M 80gb for the OS and a 10,000rpm HD for secondary
Currently running Windows 7 32bit after a clean install.
I bought a DV2000 with a failed motherboard. I tried reflowing it once and it didnt work. I will more than likely be replacing the mobo after I try reflowing once more.
It currently has a gforce 6150 igp with an athlon tk53. I am wanting to get a mobo with the best graphix solution possible. So far, the best I have found is a gforce 7150 board. I know there are intel setups with gforce 8200 but I would prefer to stick with amd, although an intel board is not completely out of the question.
So, if you know what the best graphix solution is, let me know! Post up the exact model number so that I can get a mobo part number. Or, just post what you got if its better than a 7150 gforce!
The back of the dv9000 has some slits for airflow, and there are also slits on the bottom of the unit. Because the airflow is so weak, I can't detect by feel which way the air is actually flowing.
Does air enter from the bottom and get exhausted out the back? Or Does air enter from the back and get exhausted out the bottom?
My as-yet-to-be-made cooler's fans will be mounted below the slits on the bottom of the notebook. Therefore, it's important to know if the fans should blow air onto the bottom of the notebook or if they should pull air away from the bottom of the notebook. This is crucial because if the cooler's fans are installed blowing air in the wrong direction, they could actually force hot air back into the notebook!
I am trying to repair a ZD7000 series laptop. The initial problem was that it had a broken AC Jack. I got a new AC jack and soldered that in. While I was at it, I also got a 3.2GHz P4 out of another laptop to replace the one that was in this laptop.
Now the laptop does not pass the boot screen. It will just display the HP splash page, then reboot. No BIOS beeps. It does this on both AC power and battery.
I have tried different ram as well, with no luck.
my friend is thinking about purchasing a new laptop for his mother. The HP DM3 laptops look to the best solution so far since they are both lightweight and have great battery life, something he thinks she'll appreciate. One thing i'm not sure about is their ability to run Adobe Photoshop CS4 smoothly.
I don't use Photoshop very often and when I do, it's on my laptop, which is pretty decent in terms of specifications. Will the program run fine on a laptop with a Intel CULV or AMD Neo processor and integrated graphics? Which leads me to my next question:
Which Pavilion laptop would you recommend? Are they both similar to each other than the processors?
I need to access my lcd panel to remove a nasty coffee stain inside the screen (between backlight and panel).

I just got a new Sony Z-series laptop. It is a nice laptop, but I don't why there is a very slight vibration. It is not very serious but enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I am not sure whether it is caused by the fan or the harddrive.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to open/disassemble my VGN-CS110E laptop but no one had the manuals, etc to how to open it. I have read from several places that the Vaio is like a jigsaw puzzle, and in which case it is. There are always different was of opening different Vaio's. From the "popup" keyboard, to "popup speaker" just to get into the fan. The CS-series is different, you open it as if it were a desktop computer.
First, turn the laptop over so the screen is shut and is on the bottom.
Remove the battery, once removed, there are 2 screws (ignore the 3 black screws), remove the 2 screws.
After this is done, unscrew the screws that is in the casing of the RAM as well as HD. The HD has two screws to be unscrewed, one is hidden thus you have to remove the HD to unscrew it.
In order to disassemble the CS-series, you must unplug a cord that's within the RAM compartment, in doing all of this, slowly lift the underneath piece of the laptop, it should pry away slowly and then you can see the motherboard, fan, etc. You can disassemble the monitor screen from the laptop now as well.
My laptop G505 59379534 has become horribly slow. In fact it is so right from beginning when I purchased six months back. Around 50 GB of data consisting of audio, video files are stored in it. It takes atleast 2 to 3 minutes to open even a small file of 5 Mb size. Also I have installed all latest drivers from AMD site. Also I am using Kapersky internet security 2014 and it is up to date. No virus or spyware is detected when I run full scan. Can I improve it's speed and if so how.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSeveral times I charge the laptop to full and turn it off. When I turn it back on moments later, it shows the battery at 75-80% and it always does this.
I call up customer service (only to find out that they are a bunch of retards because they always refer to their "manual") and they say that this is normal. Which I think is total bs, because they specifically state 3-4 hours of battery life
Does the Vaio Z series laptop have a SPDIF output that can output Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've just got my Sony Vaio Z Series laptop and i've noticed when i go into computer and look under the Hard Disk Drives i have a System (S) Drive and it says 1.41GB free of 1.46GB.
Do other Vaio Z Series owners also have this System (S) Drive? Do you know what it is?
Launched at IFA '09. Good looks in true Vaio style!

I have an almost-new Z series, bought in the US (I am in the UK) in December.
It seems the hard drive has failed, as it started BSODing on boot. I tried to run the recovery partition and also Windows 7 recovery mode from a Windows 7 install disc, and these simply hung. Further attempts to fix it using Windows XP and Windows Vista media also failed with similar issues.
I was able to boot using NTFS4Dos, although it didn't seem to read my data partition very well, as files were missing.
Booting with Knoppix was more fruitful, as everything seemed to be there. I rewrote the MBR and didn't get anywhere, so then I deleted the three partitions (recovery, Windows reserved, and data partition) and started again.
Now Windows installs, but it BSODs after the first reboot.
I guess my hard drive has failed, somehow (there are no mysterious noises, and I don't recall any impacts, it's remotely possible my kids took a magnet to it, however).
If you are one of those customers whose Vaio F series Fan is on most of the times even if are just browsing , please do post here. It would also be useful if you figure out any specific usage pattern that might turn it off/on.
I would like to know if this issue is common to the entire F series or some defective model .

When I connect my G505s laptop to TV via the HDMI port , the audio does not go through the TV.
I found similar topics, but nothing works [URL] ......
On CONTROL panel i select SOUND.
I do not have the HDMI Output listed under “Playback” tab, right click in the playback window and select Show Disabled Device and Show Disconnected Device. And still it didnt show the HDMI output. :/
Under Playback It shows only Speakers and Headphones. (Still after selecting Shoe disabled device and Disconnected Device). Under recording Stereomix and microphone.
What would fix this? Its my laptop missing any file/ program or driver? Or is there problem with audio card or display card?
( I download drivers from [URL] ....... so i mean its Updated).
