Recently I've started to hear some odd sounds coming from my DV2. I've been hearing pops, clicks, clacks, something that sounds something is constantly being turned on and off, and a very faint sound that sounds almost like a fan, but is coming from more near the middle or right side of the laptop than where the fan is.
Just wondering how bad these sounds are, or if they're natural laptop sounds that for some reason I just never heard.

I have found a "fix" for my laptop's fans not going fast when needed (Putting in Stand-by/Sleep Mode and Waking it up), But is it normal to be having these temps at regular usage?

I just ordered one and it should be here soon. I'm not using this laptop as a gaming machine because I have Xbox360 already doing the job for me. With that being said, I still don't want a crappy laptop that isn't stable (As far as graphics). I'm going to be using it for basically word processing, viewing movies, music editing, light video editing, and web browsing of course. I just need to know if it's a good machine, if anyone with the laptop care to let me know their experience, that was would be dope. If it's not any good I could just send it back for an exchange or get my money back. I paid around 625.00, that was with my student discount, but it came up to 700.00 before that.

One thing that many people have noticed HP doing is "strangling" its mainstream laptops. For example: the drop of the 9600M GT in the dv5t right before discontinuing it, and no longer offering it on the special edition.
Many forum members also have said that HP seems to be steering people to the more expensive HDX series for gaming.
This consensus has been re-enforced by HP itself. You will notice in their online store that the category once called "Versatile Performance" is now "Everyday Computing." This is pretty transparent...

I've seen lots of posts about laptops that won't start but none with the exact same problem as me. When I press the power button it lights up and it sounds like it's going to turn on but nothing happens. There's nothing on the screen. It sounds like it used to if you closed the lid while it was on.

3gb ram
512mb 9600 GT

Right now my Compaq V2000 laptop has two memory slots with 256 MB each for a total of 512 MB.
Can I just replace one slot with one 1 GB so I end up with a 1GB and a 256 MB? r would it be better to have both slots occupied by the same memory capacity?

I just wanted to ask that can I use my laptop when it is charging i.e. connected to AC mains? Some people say that doing so reduces the battery life. Whenever u have to use it on main line, remove the battery and then use. But its too cumbersome 4 me coz most of the times, I use it at home where ac line is available.

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

I did a bit of a school boy error and put a copy of Vista on a laptop that I already had installed on my desktop.
Anyway to cut a long story short I want to get XP back on my HP Compaq 6710b, but I get the following message during install
Windows XP Home Edition set up did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer.
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly conncted to your computer and that any disk related hardware configaration is correct.
This may involve running a manufacturer supplied diagnostic on set up.
Set Up cannot continue F3 to exit

The other day I was shutting down my laptop and it paused as normal to install the latest Windows updates. Later that evening I went to power it on and nothing happened. I immediately check the power brick and it's power light was on. Then I swithched to batter and stll nothing would come on. It's as if no power is gettng to the laptop.
I remember a similar thing happened when my hard drive connector failed, so I swapped them out, but changing that had no effect.
what I'm failed to check or what could be wrong before I have to pack it up and send it back to HP?

I sent my 8510p laptop in to HP to fix a video problem and they replaced the video board, sent it back to me. When I got it back it was very clear that there was still a problem, the video signal intermittently clouded up like there was a disconnect in the cable - I figured the tech didn't press the connector cable firmly into place. I sent it back for the 2nd time.
I got the laptop back and all my video problems were fixed; however, there was now a 2 to 3 inch long crack around one of the screws on the bottom of the case - like someone took a chisel or a screwdriver to pry up at the case. I told customer service and they sent a box for me to pack it up and send it back. This is the 3rd week in a row without my computer at home - it's starting to cause major problems because I need my computer to study.
I get a call back this last Friday from billing at HP telling me they aren't going to fix the case unless I pay them $200 even though it's very clear that the crack was caused by an incompetent tech trying to get into the unit. There was no damage to the shipping box and this kind of crack simply could not have happened during shipping - HP also tells me that because I got it late Thursday and didn't report it til Sunday morning, that I can't be covered for shipping damage (even though there was no shipping damage). They want $89 to send it back to me unfixed too.
I told them I wouldn't pay them anything for damage they caused - I left a message on the voicemail of the billing department supervisor...............

I just jumped for an HP dv8t 18.3" laptop which just looks awesome. I had an HP 17" back in 2002 and had a pretty nice laptop bag that fit it and I have no idea what brand that was, otherwise I would buy a similar one.

my laptop burned. I have a dv9700 that I got last summer, still in warranty, just like that the laptop's motherboard burned out last month, I send it to HP and they replaced the motherboard for me for free as it was under warranty. Now my laptop works but it freeze all the time. I reformat the hard drive and still getting the same freeze results. So it is definitely a hardware/technical issue.hacked by pca

about running a laptop chip on a desktop. I had a AMD Turion ML-44 2.4GHz single core socket 754 chip and I'm trying to find out if it can be used on a desktop 754 motherboard.
Specifically a replacement for a HP Pavilion a6700z:

interested in the chip please let me know!
