Re: 104-Unsupported wireless network device detected

Welcome N68.

Banhien is correct.

The reason it must be a supported WiFi is because of FCC regulations.

If you look on the bottom of your laptop or under the battery you will see the FCC regulations.

This may help.

Re: Broken computer eject mechanism on HP Advanced Docking Station

Hi, I don't really know where to place this post so I try my luck here. I've got for some time HP Advanced Docking Station. Warranty is over and the eject mechanism is busted. I really don't know the right terminology so excuse my english in this. 

One of the beaks insuring that the laptop is steady in it's place is broken and it does not come to it's default position" after ejecting laptop.

Here fot the comparison is the default position of the "beak" or whatever is it's name:

I found out that there is spring inside which is returning the "beak" to it's correct position. Sadly the plastic on which the spring was leaning on is broken:

I clearly see what is wrong. And now my questions: Where do I get this as spare part? What's the correct name of this component? Does it have some product number or some ID to find it online?

Thank you all for your answers,

Miroslav

Re: Question on upgrading graphic cards

Hi I have an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC that was custom-built and mailed to me.

4th gen i7 4700mq

12gb ram

1tb hard drive

intel hd 4600 graphics*****

I was just wondering if it was possible to upgrade my current card to a better one? I've read in most places that it is cannot but I just wanted to confirm.

For example, if I wanted to upgrade to one offered in the list of graphics cards available for this laptop..

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory

NVIDIA® GeForce® 840M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory

^Could I be eligible to change it to one of these?

Re: HP Pavilion Desktop a6042n - could not power up

Hi! I have a HP Pavilion a6042n desktop that gave me no probs since it was bought in 2007.

My PC specs can be seen here at http://bit.ly/1m0ZlNa

Recent;y, I could not power it up. Blue light shows on CPU power on button and on green light shows on keyboard, but  I hear the fan run a while and stopped, and PC cannot power up. Prior to this power up, the previous time I tried I heard the fan going very fast and very loud, so I shut it down. I guess the CPU fan has died? Or is there any other problem?

Do I need to replace the CPU fan?

If yes, is this CPU fan item compatible and known to work....http://ebay.to/1s0acta

And can I upgrade RAM at the same time? will this RAM UPGARDE item work ....http://ebay.to/1s09VX0

I am no techie and will really appreciate any help I can get here.

Thank you.

Replacement Battery for HP DV6 7028TX ( New Pull Batteries ) - and a comment on Msata

Hi all , hows it going? 

I need a replacement battery for my notebook ( DV6-7028TX ) and online there are multiple places that offer , " New Pull Batteries" , which are basically pulled off a new laptop, as the name suggests and is significantly cheaper. Does anyone have any experience with these? And are they any good?

On the Topic of Hardware upgrades and replacements, for those of you that may have a hp dv6-7028tx, while doing some maintence on it i spotted a msata slot,( which comes blank as stock on this model) , to which i added a kingston 60gb Msata ssd into , and got Intels Rapid Storage Technology running. which then uses the ssd as a cache for the HDD. And from personal experience its lightning quick with booting up and all my regular programs. So if you have an msata slot and  can run Intels RST, I definitly reccomend getting it!well worth the $75 for the ssd. It feels like a new laptop.

I apologise got a bit off topic, below is the link for the batteries 

let me know what you knowledgeable folks make of this, Thank you!
