My HP Compaq 2510p doesn't have the PCMCIA slot, it has Smart Card reader instead. I assume that the Smart Card reader is installed in the PCMCIA slot. If so, is there a way to remove that Smart Card slot so that I could use the PCMCIA slot?
I read the manual and it shows that in order to get to that Smart Card reader, I have to remove the motherboard. I'm afraid doing so will void the warranty.
I am looking for the connector that goes from the Hd to the motherboarr on a HP 2510p.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've had my much enjoyed HP Compaq 2510p for some time now and although it's not the fastest machine in the world, I like the size, build and look of the thing.
Its a 1.2GHz U7600 dual core machine with a 60Gb HDD and 2Gb RAM.
I've always run XP Pro and been happy with it, but I have recently installed the Windows 7 RC. It runs very well indeed despite the slow processor etc. I like it a lot, I have to say. It's here for keeps, I think.
Nevertheless, I'd like to quicken things up a tad, and had in fact felt like that before I went from XP Pro to W7RC.
So along comes an MTRON MOBI 3000 32Gb 1.8" ZIF IDE SSD. Lovely jubbly, that should perk things up a bit. Some will view 32Gb as a bit small but I want the OS, MS Office 2007, some work files and the EVE Online client on the machine and that's about it. I think 32Gb should be enough.
Out goes the battery, off comes the HDD cover. 2 screws to release the old HDD, er, unscrewed. I undid the ZIF, replaced HDD with the new SSD and put it all back together.
Booted the 2510p and it recognised the drive and started to boot from the W7RC DVD that I bunged in the optical drive.
Failed.
The W7RC bombed out almost immediately saying it had a problem with (I think) /boot/cd.
I wonder if this is because it doesn't have the required drivers for the SSD? Or if it needs there to be at least one partition on the drive for it to work. Or is my DVD a bit jiggered?
What is the lowest VID/voltage in your CPU (U7500/U7600/U7700)?
I'm trying to find a low voltage CPU for my notebook and want to know if this CPU has the lowest VID. There's no trusting in Wikipedia etc., since the voltages vary and they are often reported wrong.
I have a HP 2510p with the u7700 at 1.33 and X3100 video card. I have downloaded some HD movies from the internet, I play them all with VLC media player. My laptop has the 120gb 5400rpm hard drive that came with it, most other 2510P's have the 4200rpm drive model. I play the HD movies from the hard drive.
Well my problem is that the HD movie (in 720HD) doesn't play too well on my laptop. Some movies skip alot, they seem to be waiting to load or something like that. I play other movies (around 700-800mb) and it does not do that.
Do current and past 2510p owners ever have this problem with playing HD movies. Is the X3100 video card powerful enough to play 720HD movies or could it just be a driver issue.
Maybe I can upgrade the X3100 drivers, I keep hearing stories about intel drivers.
I was told that this notebook is having expansion slot that is compatible with both PCMCIA & expresscard/54, how true is it?
Most important is whether this is USB 2.0 emulated slot or true PCIe 1x slot?
Or, is this notebook having 2 slots, 1 PCMCIA and 1 expresscard/54?
Expresscard/54 seems not very common today compared to /34.
I have a dv5t without the TV tuner, leaving the open PCIe slot. Can I use a mini PCIe SSD in this slot, and if so, can I boot from it?

I somehow messed up my Windows 7 installation and get a BSOD every time I try to boot into Win7 or even safe mode from the hard drive.
However, what I can NOT figure out is how to EJECT the disc in the drive.
I can get to a command prompt via the Startup Repair advanced options, but there doesn't appear to be a command to eject in the disc.
Is there a keyboard combination I can press at power on to eject the disc?
I know the UWB port can be used for the 'wireless USB card' if you can find one, but in the absence of that can it be used for anything else?

I have to use a dental pick to catch a corner of it and pull it out. The media slot works fine because you just push in on it until it pops out but the express card doesn't seem to do this? ..
The M1330 has been out for awhile now. I was wondering if there are any new options/manufacturers for the CD/DVD slot drive? My device manager says I have the Mata

Drive works fine with the exception that it can be loud at time (especially loading and ejecting discs). I was wondering or hoping that there might be some other or better options out there.
I was playing with my computer and I noticed that in the battery compartment, there is a compartment for something that looked like a sim card, so I busted out the user manual (for the first time) and looked it up, and sure enough it's a slot for a sim card.
Anyway, I'm wondering what that slot does, which I'm probably guessing mobile broadband? HSDPA/EVDO?
Does anyone here actually use the sim card slot, and is there something special you need or can you just go to a local AT&T store and buy a sim card with HSDPA?

And then having a normal hard drive in the 2.5" HDD area for storage or games and stuff. Hopefully they will make these PCIe SSDs much faster and cheaper.
I purchased a TT-34G/D couple of months ago. I use an Option Globetrotter 3G express card for mobile internet where wifi is unavailable.
However, the card fits very loosely inside the slot, and comes out upon a slightest pull.
Even when my hand accidentally touchs the external antenna portion of the card, the hardware removal sound is heard
I was thinking USB 3.0 adapter but then I would have to buy a USB 3 external Disk capable of 100+ MB speeds... and not very portable
why not a expresscard SSD?
I have an Y510p laptop and I am not pleased with the hdd performance, so I wanted to add an SSD, but the slot is literally missing:

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter a month of using my laptop, today is actually the first day I'm trying out this slot load drive.
I inserted a CD given by my instructor, it was running really slow and some cranky / buzzing noise could be heard from it. I mean is it normal ? It loads kinda slow too.?
Everything was working fine until lately I noticed that during the BIOS the loading bar stops 4/5 of the way for around 10 seconds,
then I hear the slot load drive turn on and only then my computer boots up .....
Just getting more acclimated with my laptop and I was looking underneath the battery and noticed there's a little slot and an image that looks like it will take a micro sd card.
Anyone know what this is used for? I would imagine some kind of service module. Just to be clear, this is NOT the multi-card reader on the side of the computer, but physically beneath the battery (when flipped over).
