HP/Compaq :: Dv9000 Series And Windows 7 Drivers
Jan 31, 2010
I have a dv9820us laptop, it came with Windows Home Vista Premium 64. I trashed vista fiasco, and installed Win7 64. I cannot believe HP don;t support Windows 7 for this laptop.
Almost everything works fine with Win7, but not the audio, mic, etc. The conexant audio driver has problems and is not compatible with Windows 7. Does anyone know how to fix this? maybe a official driver is available?
I tried a modified version of the driver from here, but it still doesn't work, sometimes the audio work, sometime don't.
I hate bloatware vista, and I don't want to pay for the recovery cds from HP. (i don't have the recovery partition and the recovery cd that i made, brings an error)

a friend of mine has a DV9620us. I INstalled WIndows 7 Ultimate x64. I got pretty much everything working on it except for 2 things that I cannot remember how to fix.
1. The remote control that comes with it. I installed Wireless Assistant for W7, but it still didn't respond.
2. While I have the quick launch buttons installed, the mute button does not turn amber when muted. It's not a najor issue, but I would like to be able to have his laptop fully working the way he brought it to me (especially since it used to be mine.)

I know what the website says for the DV9000t but wondered if there is a newer BIOS than the F.29 listed or if drivers for other models will work?

I'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.

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 have a Sony vaio FW21M
it has the mata bd-mlt uj230as basically the blu-ray drive......
I was wondering if anyone has the correct driver for this because I can't seem to play any blurays and can't burn anything with it, it just works like a normal dvd drive, does nothing else
I did a clean install so i need the firmware, I tried all the links on this forum and can only find the UPDATE for the driver not the original install..........

it appears my windows 7 32bit thinkpad x200 has question marks at bluetooth adapters in device manager.
I have installed the drivers that are available on the website of lenovo producer, but no change is observable.
The device seems to work well, that is share and access files with android smartphone, and use android's internet, but when it comes to sharing internet with the smartphone, there is no transmission. I wonder if broken drivers could be the cause.

searching for the best spec'd DV9000 gpu, but my search results always just show up the overheating problem... does anyone know if there is a list around with all the different options of DV9000's? I currently have a 7600 go GPU, and I just bought a DV9000 mobo for $3 with a 7900 go GPU on it. As I can get them fairly cheap if I'm lucky, I want to find out what is the best GPU available on a DV9000 system board.

i just took apart my laptop yesterday to change my cpu on it. i was running T7500 and changed it to T8300 and man.... that T8300 is so cool. with AS5 my idle temps are down to 25-27*C thats a HUGE jump from my old T7500 which was a mini baking oven.
but anyways.... it took me 3 hours to take everything apart watching videos videos on hp.com but onc ei took it apart, i looked at the HSF and man its one of the weakest hsf i've seen. the only part thats copper is just a tiny square base thats on top of cpu. everything else is crap. and there were some pads on the end of the hsf to i guess cool the little things on the side. (forgot what they were called) i wanted to apply the AS5 to all the places that the pads were touching, but that part of the HFS was not copper. i'm not sure what it was.
i'm sure everyone that ever replaced cpu on the DV9000 had taken the whole laptop apart... have you guys ever thought about replacing the HSF with an aftermarket HSF thats better than the stock? i tried searching and found none that were any better than the stock. none of them are all copper.
and i did not want to put AS5 on the other things that has that white/beige pad on, since the bottom of the HSF looked weak and i did not want to fry the chips/what ever the pads were supposed to cool... can you guys help me find a better HSF for the laptop? or that stock crappy hsf is the best/only thing for me?

I have installed Intel X-25M SSD with Windows 7 Ultimate in my old dv9000 (CD, 1 Gb RAM), and it is quite a disaster. The laptop is getting hot, installing programs (Portal from Steam) results in 90 C on the processor and a shutdown...
I use RM CPU Clock to lower CPU multiplier from 13x to 6x (it works on my HDD and Windows XP, I don't have issues), but on SSD it won't help much.
Browsing: 70 C
Installing software: up to 90 C and sometimes a shutdown...
Playing games: up to 80 C

It all started when my dv9000 stopped detecting the DVDRW drive, i tried the same optical drive on a friend's laptop and it worked perfectly. I decided to go for an external DVD drive. After a while it stopped booting from the secondary hard drive (primary hard drive had crashed, so i installed vista on the secondary one). It detects the HDD, but it does not boot from it, the HDD is not even listed in the boot media list when you press f9 button at poweron. So i decided it was time to upgrade the bios, i entered my product number at the hp website, it gave a dv9627 as my model, in the bios its listed as a dv9500, so i downloaded the bios update for dv9500, boot from bootable USB Drive and did the upgrade. From then on my laptop never came on again. I found out about the crisis recovery tool, got a usb floppy drive, created the recovery disk, removed the battery held down the win + b first, plugged in power, powered on, left it for around 15mins, nothing happened, tried fn+b still nothing. The laptop screen just flickers once when i press the power button, power led on, hdd led comes on and then goes off, media button led are all on, other than that no sign of life, but the processor gets alittle hot so i suspect its still functioning. I really need help, i believe the bios can be recovered without sending the laptop to hp. I'm a student running on a really tight budget.

I having some problems with a DV6000 notebook.
I originally set the machine up with two partitions, one for his documents and the C: My problems started when I was doing some routine maintenance to the machine which belongs to my brother. The C partition was getting quite low so I decided to knock some space of d and add to c. I have done this many times using partition magic but for some reason it failed.
This left me we a hall.dll error on boot, however the machine will still boot if I pressed enter. It also meant that I had about 2 gig of partitioned space, plus the 1 gig for quick launch.
I re-added the 2gig space back to D using gParted, but still no luck, so I then decided to reinstall quick launch, which seemed to go ok accept that after I rebooted, Nothing, just a blinking cursor on the screen.
I then tired to do a recovery using the disks, of course though disk two and three are stuffed. I cant see anywhere, where it asks me to press f11 to restore from the recovery partition which still should be intact............

I have read the stickies and have looked at this thread: HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop/notebook...vista to xp so LOST
It appears to me that these are all geared towards intel based machines. Mine is AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TEchnology TL-50 1.60 GHz. Will the above approaches work?

The speakers for my dv9640us are cracking when the songs have a little bit of bass, guess they're damaged. They're altec lansing. I was searching and found some posts saying very good things about harman kardon speakers and JBL,anyone knows if there is such a thing as speakers replacement or upgrade for notebooks? If not i guess i'll have to buy new altec ones.

I have a mystery that I hope someone can help with. My dv9000 (dv9308nr) won't connect with my daughter's NETGEAR wireless router. Specifically the router is a NETGEAR WPNT 834. My computer works great with my Motorola wireless router. It also works great with my mothers Linksys wireless router and the wireless router at work. Don't know the brand of the router at work. I've verified multiple times the network key, etc. My daughter's Apple Macbook with the same key works properly.

I have a DV9000 laptop and I have problem with the fan control and the Heat Sink. The tempeture of the GPU and CPU go very high (GPU 60 and CPU 48), but the fan runs very slow, like if the tempeture is ok and after that the computer stops. As well I want to replace the pads from the heat sink, so I would like to know which types of pads I should use for this computer and where the GPU is located, because there are three chips (the CPU in right side, one in the middle and another in the left side with the nvidia signature). my computer is Intel Duo and the bios is version D.25.

My girlfriend has an HP dv9000 (17" laptop) i dont know the exact specs, only that she is running vista 32bit.
But the problem is that every time she has to either restart, return from hibernate, or return from sleep mode, the computer cant do it.
If its restarting or returning from hibernate, the computer will begin to start up, you'll hear a click, and it will power down and power up again, click, and repeat the process endlessly.
From sleep mode, the computer will turn the screen on and off like you just "woke" it.

I know that the 9000 got bigger screen but how about:
-Who is newer?
-Is DV6700 got abit better CPU/RAM or else?
They all pre-own and price likely the same..

They have kasperski 2009 full internet protection. So heres the problem. One day they call me over that when they scroll on websites the text gets all squished together and the windows take forever to move/load. so we ran a scan and nothing came out wrong.
Then next time the computer was turned on the logo page that appears at the beginning that says HP and u could press the function keys to go to safety mode, it now never appears and there is a blank screen for about 3min and the vista sign appears and it starts. but overall the computer is very slow and has the scrolling problems. But a few days ago kasperski keeps popping up saying that black keys are missing and to update. So when ever i try it never updates just sits there at 0%. but we do have internet like firefox works fine just slow and the scrolling is annoying because after a while u can;t read anything on a page. But wat is going on? Is it a virus ? and i wanted to recover the computer cuz i do have recovery CD's but i can't even get to the function keys or safety mode and when i try it normally the computer either beeps and turns off or just turns off. i also tried system recovery and it didn;t complete. sorry i know this is alot but sometimes the screen goes black in random moments and comes back and says the screen drivers have recovered from like an error or sumthing. like i think it'd be best to just restore the computer at this point, but i don;t know how if i can't use the function keys or safety mode.

problem with my Dv9000. When I go to play a DVD it plays but very choppy like a scratched disk. I have tried many other DVD's and they all play this way. The movie seems to be going and stopping constantly. I have checked the processor and ram and they are not even being put under and load so I know it is not that. At least I think. I have also tried to use different programs to play the movies and the same thing. Could I have a bad dvd-rw drive?

My roommate has a DV9000 with a wifiG card in it. We live in an apartment complex with 30-40 networks within our range. It is really slowing down our wireless performance because of how crowded the 2.4Ghz frequency is. I am a Thinkpad guy so I don't know how easy it would be, but is there an internal WifiN card for this laptop so we could move to a 5Ghz network?

My girlfriends HP dv9000 adapter broke at the cord where it plugs in the the laptop and she needs to buy a replacement. It is an 18.5V 3Amp adapter. She found one on ebay (claiming to be new) for like $0.99, but I'm extremely skeptical that it will work satisfactorily and may even damage the laptop.
Do you all have any suggestions for replacing it? Purchasing a new one from HP would work, but it is definitely the most expensive options. Has anybody had any luck with ones from other sellers, from ebay, amazon, etc.?
