My HP dv7-2111us no longer plays blu-ray discs

$

0

I have an HP dv7-2111us with a blu ray player but it no longer plays them. I have tried the links suggested in this forum but installing them does not work. The HP support page asks for my model number but when I enter it, it displays an image of the laptop and it's model but there are no links or other options to select. When I look in HPs list of items that are no longer supported, my model does not appear. The cyberlnk update page that comes up says the page is no longer available. Please let me know if there are any other options.

I just bought this pavilion 550 110.  Something happened to the hard drive and bios.  Hard drive seems to be blank and wont boot from a windows disk (will boot from ubuntu).   I received a box to return it but no return label was included.  Starting three days ago i asked for a label to be emailed and to date none has come.  there is no bios listed in the support or I would flash it myself.   What to do?

Bios doesn't update

My current BIOS is AMI 7.16 10/5/2011. On the driver update page it says that there is 7.16RevA 4/21/2013. I've tried using the HP assistant and down loading are running directly. It appears nothing updates since it never changes to 7.16Rev A or 4/21/2013.

 

Any ideas?

 

Also do you know if this udpate is UEFI?

 

Thanks

 

Which BIOS to use for upgrade?

I'm trying to determine if there's a BIOS upgrade available for my system.

 

I booted into the BIOS, and got the current version:  BEE A0.07

 

When I go to the downloads section for my system (HP Pavilion 550-a1114), it shows me three different BIOS downloads available.   They seem to be distinguished by different "ROM Family SSID"s.  I see 2835, 2847, and 2852.

 

How do I know which one is appropriate for my system?

 

Help!

Hello. I doubt anyone would reply but I have a problem if anyone could help me.

When I attempt to start my computer, a error message comes up. ">>Start PXE over IPv4. PXE-E18: Server response timeout. >>Start PXE over IPv6." Then my computer just freezes after that. I've tried looking it up but the keys didn't work for me. I have been trying to get to boot utility . But the farthest i got was just to the computer setup. How do i get to the bios setting or something ? i already put harddrive as first in my boot order. i have already taken the memory and hardware test. By the way, i bought the computer with Windows 8 but updated to Windows 8.1 . Thank you.

I need to order recovery software after a hard drive failure (crc errors).

Your website will allow me to get to the payment screen, but does not complete the transaction.

Instead it asks to pick a country then language, and returns to the home page.

 

I tried your website 3 different times the last 3 days.

 

I called your support.  I called your sales.  I called your software replacement number.

 

Nobody can help so far.

 

Better get your webmaster to contact me, and we can simulate why you are sales website is losing you customers.

 

Thanks, Barry

Someone gave me this answer before but it still isn't working.  I can't get HP Support Assistant to work in Windows 10.  I keep trying to redownload something and it keeps saying Fatal error in 17XX and 1603 or something like that.  Can't find .msi or remove older version of HP Assistant.  Everything has been removed via Add Remove Programs.  I am at my wits end.  It hasn't worked for months.

Do I need to update my BIOS?

Hi,

 

I'm trying to determine if there is a BIOS upgrade available for my system.

 

I went to the downloads page for software and drivers, and under the BIOS heading, I see three different BIOS updates.  They seem to be differentiated by "ROM Family SSID".  There are three of them, 2835, 2847, and 2852.  

 

My problem is, I don't know what a "ROM Family SSID" is, so, I have no idea how to determine which of the three files I need?  Is this ROM Family SSID relevant?   Should I just choose the highest version number?

 

BTW, my current BIOS is "BEE A0.07".

 

Help?

 

Thanks,

Cloning Windows to new SSD

 Hi, yesterday I purchased a new SSD and installed it in my desktop because I wanted to replace my old HDD. I successfully cloned my primary drive (HDD) which contained my Operating System into the new SSD.  Everything is working fine, but I saw a watermark on my wallpaper near the clock (Bottom-right side of the desktop) with the following message:

 

"Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center Build 9600"

 

I searched on google and I found that build 9600 has to be something with Windows activation but i don't know why because I already disconnected the HDD and I am not using it in any other computer. Then I went to Control Panel->System and I noticed that in the part that says Windows Activation the following message "Windows is not activated" and in the right side there is a link that says "Activate Windows".  I didn't clic the link yet because first I want some suggestions to solve this issue. Can someone help me with this?

 

Here are my pc specifications:

Product Name: h8-1440t

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center 64-bit 

Microprocessor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz

RAM: 16.0GB DDR3 @ 797MHz (9-10-9-26)
Motherboard:  PEGATRON CORPORATION 2ACE (SOCKET 0) 36 °C
Graphics:
 HP x2301 (1920x1080@60Hz)
 3072MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (MSI) 52 °C

Thank you in advance.
