Re: Compaq CQ58-205SL hdd replacement

You will need to replace the original hard disk with  a  SATA notebook hard disk that is the same capacity or larger. Keep the capacity of the new hard disk less than 1.5 TB. Your notebook "Supports 6.35-cm (2.5-in) hard drives in 9.5-mm (.37-in) and 7.0-mm (.28-in) thicknesses"

You will need your  recovery disk set or usb recovery media to restore the operating system and required drivers to the notebook. 

Is your notebook still in warranty? Check your warranty status Here.

Re: HP Laptop New Purchase

Hi,

New laptop with USB port(s) will work with USB "docking" station (I'd never call USB x.0 as docking station). For your budget, you can get a good laptop (such as high end Envy class machines) and an USB 3.0 docking station. You may also need a spare power supply (ie charger) for you laptop too. I may say:

Laptop up to $1,250

USB 3.0 dock $170

Spare charger: around $70

Regards.

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?
