HP/Compaq :: Is There A Way To Put Windows XP On The Dv3t
Jun 14, 2009I have received my dv3t in black today, and it comes preinstalled with Vista. I have a copy of Windows XP Pro and would like to reformat it to this. Is there a way to do this and ensure all drivers can work?
For those who want to see the guides I am looking at, here they are (also found on posts #2 and #4):

HP/Compaq :: Windows 7 RC 64Bit And The Dv3t.
Aug 11, 2009I just installed windows 7 RC on my dv3t today, and it is such a new enhanced experience! I love the more sleek, smooth, and faster OS already. I have installed many necessary drivers to run W7, did updates, and organized all tools (Advanced System Care, Smart Defrag, etc.) It's a real champ. There are some things on HP's side I need to address to make the 100% of my W7 experience fulfilled.
1. Where is the GeForce 105M driver for W7 64bit? I looked on NVidia's site, and tried 6 different drivers, for Vista and W7 64bit, and the audio is the only part that was installed. This interferes with the native resolution, and I am having to use 1280 x 720.
2. Brightness setting is not visible anywhere in control panel, and the FN keys to alternate brightness (F7 and F8) do not work. The screen remains at full brightness. How can I fix this?
3. The fingerprint reader does not seem to work. In Vista, I had Digital Persona, but cannot seem to find a way to render it useful on W7. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places?
HP/Compaq :: Dv2 Vs Dv3t
May 5, 2009i already have the dv2 an i really like it so far. battery life could be a lot better but eh. not that big of a deal. i ordered the dv3t today for some more power and integrated optical drive. my question is do i really need it?
i use my computer for
itunes
aim
internet
word
i know with all those up the dv3t will outperform this one but buy how much? is it really worth all the work to be trading it back in and paying some more money? i really like the sleekness of the dv2. lastly how much will a clean install help the dv2?
HP/Compaq :: DV3T- GPU
Jun 10, 2009I was pretty much set on the xps m1330, but after hearing about some issues with the GPU in the long run, I've been looking at the HP DV3T, but I can't find any professional reviews on it. At Notebookreview there's a lengthy discussion, but that's about it.

May 20, 2009 I'm pretty much ready to order the HP DV3T notebook, but one thing that confuses me is the processor. I want a very fast processor, so initially i was going to get the Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9550 (2.66 GHz). However, i did some research and i found that the P series processors are more efficient than the older T series, thus using less power and have a faster FSB. The next fastest P series processor you can get with the DV3T is the Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz). I went on Intel's website, and if I read correctly, the P8700 and the T9550 are both 45nm, and have the same FSB (1066Mhz). However, the P8700 has 3mb L2 cache, and the T9550 has 6mb L2 cache.

Basically what im asking is what processor is the better one? Money isn't a factor, so I just want the better processor. All these numbers are confusing me, and i dont know what exactly i should be getting here.

HP/Compaq :: DV3T Cooling Pad
Oct 16, 2009I just got my DV3T. I noticed that the cooling pad I currently have will not work with this laptop since it sucks air from under the laptop, while the DV3T sucks the air from under the laptop and blows it out the side.
So are there any cooling pads that work well with the DV3T? Ones that blow air from the bottom to the top?
HP/Compaq :: DV2Z Or DV3T
Jul 10, 2009Im looking to get myself a smaller laptop to take around with me. I have at home a g50v right now and love it but it’s just too big to take with me everywhere. I like both of these laptops but can’t decide which one I like better. I see some were saying that they had a 30% coupon for the dv3t which would make it the same price or less as the dv2z.

HP/Compaq :: My Dv3t And IReview And Optimization
Oct 28, 2009I had 3 specific laptops that I was looking at buying: HP Dv3t, Sony Viao SR, and the Dell XPS 1340. I ended up choosing the HP over the other two for several reasons. My priorities were, upgraded battery, bluray, P series processor, and nothing larger than 13.3inches. The dell has no bluray (I want the bluray for my HDTV use, not laptop use) so it really came down to the Sony and the HP.
HP Dv3t Pros:
Price
Bluray
9 cell battery ($30)
HP Dv3 Cons:

HP/Compaq :: Add Backlit Keyboard To Dv3t
Oct 10, 2009Is it possible to add this feature (safely) after purchase? I'm not optimistic but I thought it would be worth asking, it's the one feature I think I would have changed when I ordered (had it for a little while, don't want to go through the return process [even if they would let me at this point] just for this).

Nov 14, 2009when I use my HP Bluetooth mouse the right palm area of the laptop gets really hot. Has anyone else experienced this? Is is normal? That area does not seem to get hot when using the trackpad, just the BT mouse.
I think I'm going to switch to a non-bluetooth wireless mouse.
HP/Compaq :: HP DV3T Initial Impression
Oct 15, 2009I just got an HP DV3T to replace a Dell Studio 1555 laptop. I liked the Studio 1555 but I wanted a smaller size laptop and the HD 1080p screen, while beautiful, made text a real chore to read.
I received the DV3T a couple days ago and wanted to share my initial impressions for anyone else considering this laptop as there don't seem to be many on this forum who have it. I use my laptops for word processing, light photo editing, watching Hulu etc and general websurfing.
Things I like about the HP DV3T:
Size: It's perfect. Not too small yet small enough to be portable and lighter than a 15 inch laptop.
Build quality: It's very sturdy and does not feel fragile at all. I would describe the build quality as excellent. It does have a shiny finish however which is a real fingerprint magnet. I like the design (I have the black model) although the silver circles on it make it look like it was designed by Target.....
HP/Compaq :: Is There Any Reason To Get A Dv4t Over A Dv3t
Jul 12, 2009Looking at the HP site these days, the dv3t gives you free 320GB HDD, Included LED display (at 1280x800), and long battery life.
The dv4t has only a free 250GB, extra $60 for LED, less battery life, and costs nearly the same (Infact, only $20 less for the same specs asthe dv3t).
Why SHOULDNT I get the dv3t? I'm in the market for a small, light PC with 512MB Discreet graphics and something around 2.2-2.4GHZ Intel. Seems like dv3t is the no brainer. Considering smaller computers tend to be more expensive it surprises me that HP offer more free upgrades on the dv3t than on the dv4t.
HP/Compaq :: HP DV3T Optical Drive Upgrade
Aug 22, 2009I got the HP DV3T and was looking to see what options existed for upgrading the optical drive to support blu-ray but as of yet I have been unable to find what models of the slimline blu-ray drives are actually compatible with this laptop. Would anyone have any idea where I could find this information or better yet personal experience/knowledge of what will and will not work?

Feb 27, 2010I've had my HP dv3t since mid June 2009 and had no real problems with overheating until recently. I've noticed that the fans have been kicking in when watching videos and sometimes to the extent that it shuts off my computer instantly. I'm not sure why watching videos overheats my system. Maybe it's the specs?

Sep 28, 2009Friend got a couple weeks old dv3t with P7350 and Intel graphics. Even though it has SRS feature, still sound totally sucks. I cant beleive how quite the speakers are. Even at full volume, you have to be pretty close to notebook in order to listen clearly, unlike my dv6700t, which fills the room with not high quality, but decent enough sound - both volume and quality wise. and it get so hot while playing a little game on it, that the side grill almost gave me burn today. What do you guys with dv3t feel about sound and heat issues? Do you find it weak too, or my friend's dv3t has something wrong in it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHP/Compaq :: HP Dv3t-2000Crackly Audio In Built-In Speakers
Dec 12, 2009I purchased a 13" HP Dv3t-2000 Moonlight White laptop back in May 2009. I got this particular model before HP released the backlit keyboard option in their slightly newer DV3t's. I also upgraded from Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit in October 2009.
Anyways, ever since I got my laptop I've had an audio issue. Whenever I turn my volume up to 100%, and I play music or a youtube video through my built in speakers, the audio output gets crackly. I can feel the audio vibrating through my laptop. I have to turn my volume down to around 64% to eliminate only a part of the crackling.
This crackling issue doesn't happen when I listen to audio through headphones or earbuds. But I would like to have clear audio output through my built in speakers.
ON A SIDE NOTE: My brother got a 13" HP Dv3t Espresso Black about a month after mine, and his has a backlit keyboard. When he turns his volume to the max, and plays something through his built in speakers, there is NO CRACKLING whatsoever!
I went to his Speaker settings and found that he has the IDT High Definition Audio Codec installed. I checked mine and it just says Default speakers. That raised a red flag - the fact that I didn't have this IDT codec could be my problem..........
HP/Compaq :: Just 2 Days Old Dv3t; TotalCare Detected Poor Battery
Sep 12, 2009Received dv3t CTO couple of days ago from HP. I am not even done clean installing on the notebook, and when I opened the HP total care advisor today, it was showing battery condition as poor. I ran the battery check tool, and it shows battery color as Red, battery health indicator as "Replace" and a message that says "The battery check has detected a failure. The battery may be covered by your HP warranty." I contacted HP chat and rep said they are sending me a new battery. I dont install HP total care advisor after clean install ever, so in a way I am glad this software detected the battery problem before I clean installed the system and wiped out this software, and I got battery replacement. Makes me wonder if this software should be installed after clean install. If I want to install it after clean, where do I download it from?

View 10 Replies View RelatedSony :: Z, Windows 7 And WWAN
Nov 5, 2009I have a UK VGN-Z3. It comes with a built in WWAN card, which allows HSDPA connection over T-mobile. My understanding is that the driver is a Quallcom Gobi.
I've clean installed Windows 7. After much hard work and searching high and low, I think I have everything sorted. FN keys work, sleep is available etc (I do have a sporadic wireless drop-off that I didn't have before but that's all). I've updated all the essential bits as per the extremely helpful guidance on here and elsewhere from BIOS through to smart network etc.
On the VAIO download page specific to the Z3 there are no Windows 7 drivers for WWAN. So, I downloaded the original ones from the "originally installed section. The Quallcom gobi didn't want to install at first but I found a workaround online involving changing a particular file [url]. So that was installed and I then installed the original 3G manager. Fingers crossed and, surprise, surprise, it didn't work. The 3G manager comes up with an error message basically telling me that the WWAN is not detected or words to the effect. I tried going to a more recent Z series (Z51) and downloading the equivalent drivers from there. Still nothing. There is some sort of further advice in the link above that might help me but :-/ I don't understand it...!
I use my 3G connection a lot as I'm often on the road and am totally lost without it...

Sony :: VGN-Z21VN- WWAN After Windows 7 64bit Update
Nov 19, 2009I have done a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit informed by Firestone and others on this Forum. Everything works well - in fact arguably better in terms of functionality of Stamina/Speed switch - with one exception.
I have not been able to install the WWAN successfully. I have tried a number of times to uninstall and reinstall the drivers from links on this site and also even tried the Sony EU support site Windows 7 drivers with no luck. I have tried asking windows to search for the best driver with no luck. Globetrotter Connect has installed correctly, as far as I can see, but just doesn't pick up the WWAN card.
HP/Compaq :: HP6910p- WWAN Card
Apr 11, 2010I have a older HP 6910p laptop that I am prep'ing for use in my Digital Camera bag. I thought it might be nice to install a WWAN card, in the laptop in case, I am out and need access to the internet in some place that does not support Wi-Fi and the like.
I am looking at the WWAN card from ebay: [url]
I have a couple of questions:
1) My laptop has two Antenna leads in the port area for the WWAN card and the MC8775 has only 1 Antenna connector, will it work OK with only the one Antenna lead and which of the two leads should I connect?
2) Will I be able to use the SIM card from my iPhone in the Laptop with no additional plan or service then the data plan that is already provided by the iPhone/AT&T plan?
3) How does the GPS function work on these WWAN cards?
Dell :: New Windows 7 Driver For 5530 WWAN Card On E6400
Nov 1, 2009Anyone got the new 64 bit Windows 7 driver (not the Vista driver) for 5530 WWAN card on E6400 working?.
The driver installed fine on my E6400 (running 64 bit Windows 7), but Wireless Manager (downloaded from Sony Ericsson website) stopped working saying it can't find any wireless device (probably because it can't recognize the new driver)..
Then I went to get Control Point Connection Manager and noticed that there's none for Windows 7. So how do you use the WWAN card without a client?..
