The HP Laptop Computer Problems in 2009

Problems with faulty Nvidia graphics chips that caused large numbers of notebook computers to fail last year may not be over yet -- at least for some.

Some HP users are complaining that their laptops, which were not included in the company's official list of affected machines, are facing problems similar to what other users experienced last year.

"When I boot up my laptop, it says there's no driver and I can't install one. That means my machine locks up and shuts down," says Dana Hight, a HP notebook user who runs a web development company. "It is clearly related to what happened with Nvidia chips last year." Hight has bought his laptop about a year and half ago.

But he, along with other users in one of HP's online support forums, say the company won't recognize his laptop model as one of the versions affected by the faulty Nvidia chips. Hight has the DV9549US model. HP did not respond to a request for comment about the complaints. Now Lenovo update its ThinkPad X200 to solve this probelm.

Last year many consumers saw notebooks and desktops PCs that refused to boot up, did not detect wireless networks or offer any video on the monitor. HP acknowledged problems with about 38 desktops and 14 notebook models, Pavilion DV5 battery. In October, 2008, HP issued BIOS fixes and a limited extended warranty for these machines. Nvidia has said a problem with the packaging material for some of its chipsets led to the high failure rates. Dell and Apple also reported problems with Nvidia chips in 2008.

But Hight and other users in HP's forums complain that their notebook models from the dv95xx series are facing similar issues.

"About two months ago I started noticing flickering and the system locking up, shutting down and rebooting," says Hight. "It started getting worse but HP told me their technicians are not aware of anything with my chipset for HP newest notebook Pavilion DV7.

Hight, who had bought extended warranty with the now bankrupt Circuit City says he has two options: to pay up to $400 to get a new motherboard, but with the same chipset from Nvidia; or buy a new machine that will cost hundreds of dollars.

A quick look through a thread on one of HP's online support forums reveals similar complaints. HP technicians, say the users online, will not acknowledge their problems as being related to the bad Nvidia chips.

HP has not responded to Wired.com's request for comment. Pavilion DV battery

Hight says HP should step up and replace the faulty laptops instead of offering piecemeal fixes. "I would expect HP to give us a solution," says Hight. "Why should users who paid $800 to get a HP laptop have to pay now because they got a bad machine?"

Celebrates Earth Day 2009

April 22 is Earth Day. To discover ways you can be more green in the home (and save money, too).

When you have a laptop computer, There will come a time in the life of every notebook when the battery will have to be replaced. When this happens, the user will need to make a decision whether or not they want to go with an OEM battery, or one created by a Replacement Laptop Battery.

Some stores will certainly lead you to believe so, but this isnt necessarily true. Their reasons for selling OEM laptop batteries will be increased profits, and in some cases, commission for the salesman. Thankfully, when you look online, there are no pushy employees to persuade you into buying a more expensive product that doesnt have any advantages over the more affordable third party version.

What's the Benefits to Third Party Laptop Batteries? The largest reason to go with a third party battery over the OEM is the cost. While the price difference between the two might lead some to believe a third party model is inferior, they could actually be better. Oftentimes, third party batteries use the exact same cells as their OEM counterparts, and they exceed the specifications that OEM laptop batteries must meet.

Depending on where you buy third party laptop batteries from, you may find the store offers a warranty. In most cases, the warranty offered by the store on a third party battery will be much better than the OEM manufacturers warranty.

www.hp-laptop-batteries.com.au promise full 1 year warranty and 30 days money back. For this reason alone, it could be worth choosing a third party battery the next time youre looking for a new or backup battery for your laptop.

Some Experience for Using HP Laptop Battery

Sometimes We may always ask this question, when I use AC adapter I should not use battery? Batteries are not put together do not have to extend the battery life can it? Battery life in the end how much? Li-ion battery memory effect did not it? IBM to do so long for this one slowly accumulated experience, come up with to share with everyone, everyone has to mention Oh mistake. . . . First, lithium hp laptop battery are memory effect is very small, almost to 0. Two, then the battery can be are not the direct use of AC do? Not Three, the reasons for which are lithium-ion hp f4098a at a relatively long period of time if the static state (the so-called relatively static, that is, without electricity or a small number of battery electric time. Long time how long we are: six months or so), will completely lose the stored energy of the function (no matter what method you use, such as the so-called mesenchymal Dafang large, and even do not charge more than 12 hours use) Four, if the hp f4098a is trying to put together if not, it should be filled up to 90% of the electricity, plastic wrap on a cool, dry place Friday, battery life in the end how much? Tell everyone, there is no concept of time constraints, an 8-cell lithium-battery life (remember that is the life) is about 800-1200 charge, below this figure there is certainly the quality of the hp 367759-001 problem Six, we know how to us the number of electric charge it? To give an example, IBM's ACCESS IBM has an inside view of the use of the number of batteries, we can clearly know that the first charge time and HP HSTNN-DB63 state of health. Other books should also have such similar features, look everyone. Seven, up from the root extends hp f4812a life (that is, life), is absolutely no need to put on the battery had to come from the NB! I have a good idea, everyone can try. If you have AC around the time at boot every day even before the first AC on NB, to ensure that the battery of the lights after the boot! Keep this in mind! So, we are slightly battery charge current, the power to protect the main board will not let the machine have any questions! At this point the situation in a non-rechargeable batteries are the number of! A year down the battery only charge you 50 times and six hundred times which do you prefer?

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC Review

When you thought you’d never find the perfect small form factor notebook for less than $1,000, HP comes to the table with the all new 2133 Mini-Note. This ultra mobile subnotebook features an impressive 8.9-inch screen, a remarkably large keyboard, a full-sized notebook hard drive, and plenty of impressive specs. Is this the perfect road warrior machine? Let’s take a closer look and find out.

HP 2133 Mini-Note features the following specifications:

Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business, Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic 32, FreeDOS, or SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10

Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.05 (at front) x 10.04 x 6.5 inches
Weight: 2.63 lb (with 3-cell battery and 4 GB Solid State Drive, 3.23 lb with 6-cell battery and 160GB hard drive, 2.86 lb with 3-cell battery and 160GB hard drive.
Power: 6-cell (55 WHr) or 3-cell (28 WHr) Lithium-Ion HP 2133 Mini-Note PC battery, 65W HP Smart AC Adapter with HP Fast Charge.

The HP 2133 Mini-Note has a great design. Everyone in our office agreed that it has a solid chassis and attractive look. The brushed aluminum and plastic casing is durable and hides fingerprints well. It also keeps the Mini-Note lightweight, only weighing in around 2.86 lbs as configured. It has that sleek business appeal, but is targeted toward students as well. One look at the Mini-Note and I can see why. I mean who wouldn’t want an inexpensive subnotebook to tote back and forth to class, especially one that pretty much has a full-size keyboard.

HP didn’t go wrong with the design. The 8.9″ WXGA display is beautiful and easy to read. It puts off a glare though because of the protective coating. Nothing about the Mini-Note feels cheap. I didn’t notice any signs of flex and enjoyed its good variety of ports and features. The Mini-Note also comes with different hard drive options, so hopefully this might help in the performance section considering the Mini-Note sports a VIA C7-M ULV processor.


As I mentioned above, the keyboard is almost full size. It is 92% of a full sized keyboard, which is quite impressive for such a small form factor. It is much more comfortable to type on compared to the Asus Eee PC. The touchpad can be awkward though, especially the placement of the right and left click buttons. As you can see from the pictures below it does have a neat power and Wi-Fi switch that lights up and changes from blue when on to orange when off.
