Audio drivers Tutorial for V3000 series Intelcourtesy of mindkiller6610

Ok..here is the tutorial to install sound driver on V3218TU with headphone jack working and no speaker sound when using headphone.

NOTE : if u have previously installed a working sound driver but the speaker is not mute when u r using headphone,u need to uninstall the previous driver. On Device Manager choose Conexant High Definition Audio and click uninstall.

download this softpaq(driver files)

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33470.exe

double click the exe and let it extracts the files to

C:\swsetup\SP33470 (u can choose other path, but i will use the default path here).

after it extracts the files..it will try to detect the hardware or media and it will eventually gives u an error in detecting media or so..that is normal. Just click OK.

after that, go to Device Manager, highlight High Definition Audio Bus or sumthing like that, right click, choose install driver/update driver..

then follow as in the screenshots..

Click YES/OK when the windows message pop out, and let it install the driver.

Restart ur laptop and try out the speaker and headphone. It should work now.

Hope this helps and Good Luck smile.gif

It's normal. It's called Dynamic Switching. Whenever the processor do not need to process intensive applications, it will step down the speed.

Thanks a lot for the answer, another issue: the AMD dual core optimizer, according to the readme
"* On 4x4 Systems, right click on the AMD logo system tray icon and select "Gaming Mode" in order to turn "Gaming Mode" on/off."

But i dont have the logo in system try, i double clicked the "amd_dc_opt.exe" in the installation folder but still cant see the icon. sweat.gif

Any help !

Thanks;

i have a very serious problem now!!!..last week i sent my 3010 to repair then the enginner there found that my motherboard is 'electrical short'.at least that is what they said.but i have no idea how it happened...then they replace a motherboard for me and i only found the motherboard to be a hp pavillion dv2000 one..then now something wrong with my graphic card temperature..once ON my laptop,maintain stable at 120+ degree and keep giving me the elevated temperature warning...did anyone here know anything about hp dv2000 motherboard?? i am guessing that it is because the MB didnt mean for my v3010 casing due to weak air ventilation..i only able to send again for repair on friday...

Thanks a lot for the answer, another issue: the AMD dual core optimizer, according to the readme
"* On 4x4 Systems, right click on the AMD logo system tray icon and select "Gaming Mode" in order to turn "Gaming Mode" on/off."

But i dont have the logo in system try, i double clicked the "amd_dc_opt.exe" in the installation folder but still cant see the icon.  sweat.gif

Any help !

Thanks;

U add non compatible RAM and turn on the bluetooth, right ?

Solution: change your RAM.

just wonder is anyone got the cd/dvd drive problem. it's hard to read the disc, sometimes the disc looks corrupt can't copy or can't install the game or program but when i tried on my pc, the disc seems ok no problem at all.

a non compatible ram wtf? it was added since i bought. why would the shop add a non compatible ram? thats very devious.

it has sometihn to do with the bluetooth NOT the rams. because the bluetooth uses the usbohci.sys file which causes the bsod. so whenever bluetootch isnt running, its fine. and the solution from hp support was to update the bios firmware.

what kinda solution are u giving me? change rams? -____-

The only thing i can share with you is , i myself quite satisfied with the stylish design of the notebook body sweat.gif

Performance wise, I counldn't tell you much.
I went for AMD just because i am a budget oriented user biggrin.gif

I am facing some problem with the latest driver of Quick Lunch Button.
There are few users in the same shoe.

One more thing, my LCD SCREEN is always DUSTY,
but there is no dust on my keyboard and other places on notebook.

corsair 1gb ddr2 : tras = 15, trc = 20
samsung 256mb ddr2 : tras = 13, trc = 18

have u ever did a debug on your dump files? from the way u tell me, i dont think so.
there isnt any connection between the ram's and the usb controller drivers.
and there is not such thing is F8 or F13 firmware for my bios. i dont straight away get the BSOD whenever i turn on bluetooth. it only happens on random basis, iv controlled my laptop with my handphone using bluetooth remote desktop. it worked fine. HP tested rams? im using identitical rams. so whats your other solution then?

Of course you will feel the heat if you are using AC power.
The level of heat is acceptable compared to my old twinhead.

There is no HP Compaq service center at Lowyat Plaza.
You need to go to HP Tower, Damasara for sevice.

FYI, HP customer service is very good.

I think RM300 is (return depot) 2 years warranty.
Try to get the quotation of On-Site 2 years warranty.

installed windows vista RTM on my friends notebook... installation went smoothly... there were a few driver updates but they worked perfectly fine. using windows update. synaptics, hp quick launch, nvidia geforce go 6150 drivers...

it went smooth with Aero after that... surprising that microsoft has quick launch drivers as well... didnt try the x64 version as my friend didnt partition it properly...

after the video driver update. the notebook got a 2.4 score for the graphics... he upgraded his RAMs to 2GB... anyone planning to run windows Vista, i highly recommend 2GB at least... windows vista takes up 500+ MB of RAM by itself... lol...

no such thing, i have heard of a hp buying 2gb ram kit from the hp/compaq themselves, and is certified to be able to run with no problems. plugged it in and BSOD. even the ram manufacturer took the lappie in for 3 days to see why the CERTIFIED ram could not run on the lappie but couldnt find the solution to it.

it's simple. if u send it by yourself, u save time. if u send back to the shop, they'll wait until they have enough lappies collected, and then only send one shot to the hp service centre, which will take more time la.

as mentioned by one of the forumer earlier, u can ask your friend to send in for u, just make sure he/she knows what is the problem with your lappie when the technician ask them

I just received my 3133 this morning. I'm installing XP now. How do I play a cd/dvd without booting up? Is there any software that i need to install first?

kianwee: no you cant... only works with DV2000 and V3000 US models

chunei: AMD... i think the figures speak for itself(check main page)... get a V3000 with Windows XP Media Center Edition with 1GB of RAM if you are planning to get Vista Home Premium. it is NOT hot! please do not believe in rumours.

main page has been updated with instructions for Windows Vista installation. its very easy actually. lol!

Hello people, I just bought a Kingston 512MB DDR2 667 RAM for my 3133. After I plugged it in, the laptop can't boot. I tried single module also can't boot. But the HP ram (hynix chipset) works fine. The kingston ram is Kingston relabelled chipset. Is it RAM issue?

definately the RAM issue. take it back to the shop and ask them to test their RAMs until u are satisfied that u can run everything normally on your laptop.

mine i bought 2gb kit, also kingston value ram. the first 2 kits were having problems with my dvd-rw drive, causing problems with the reading and burning of cds...the third time got the some kind of china chips, then ok already...

Linux is a free source OS. The function is something different with MS but can handling easily soon. You can download many other free source also from the website. MS jus ttalking about money, all software need $$ but LInux not smile.gif

About the Ram, I suggest u buy from HP service centre and use the original HP ram.

Benefit of Vista, more aero(3D),high protection from security,transfer ur Thumdrive memory to become system memory(cooL).

v3166 can play light games or online games only. IF NFS carbon just can play in low setting. This is the bad thing happened on v3000 series. sad.gif

There are many versions (distros) of linux. You can choose according to your need. You can see the screen shots of available Linux distros form the below link.

http://shots.osdir.com/

Now, i suggest you try Ubuntu 6.10 or Fedora core 6 for 3133. Yes there are some issues but can fix those with online helps.

All the best choosing ur lappy ! thumbup.gif

1.There are some games need to download the plug in to play the game. Nowadays,the games almost available for all platform already.Not worry about this.
2.Linux OS also use many system cache la,see how much application u use in. Many plug in to be download after install the OS.hehe..Linux have a nice design with interface(like MAc do)

Turion X2 TL-50 and 52 just RM150 different only.Where u get this info?If u want to compare the compaq v3164 and v3133 then that is many different not only processor.The v3133 got anti glare screen,glossy surface(anti scratch),512 RAM,dvd writer,6 in 1 card reader..worth than that.

diskeeper ey?ok i'll check it out.thanks.

BTW,i jut noticed my laptop screen is..seems to be a bit too bright?when i open the screen to maximum(tilt outward to 45 degrees maybe?)the colours are clearer and the contrast is excellent.but if i put the screen straight upward(90 degrees angle) the contrast is barely noticeable.eg dark blue looks like light blue..very10x light blue.is this normal??or is it cos of light leakage?if it's light leakage damn that's one hell of a widespread leakage laa sweat.gif haha. laugh.gif it doesn't bother me unless i'm working with white background,like writing this post.it irritates the eyes. shakehead.gif

I burnt all the softwares in a CD b4 i brought the lappy but the place i brought the lappy gave me a copy of all the drivers needed. I guess most if the shops do. Still check and if u have a broad band u can download the latest driver from HP Malaysia site.

Linux distros has fourms like this and almost all the issues can be fixed easly. Personally, i think its an investment to know linux as there is a great interest in the market for the people who know linux smile.gif

I have a question regarding the card reader. How am I suppose to insert a xD card since the card is so small? And MS PRO doesn't work either. Should I align the card to left/middle/right? I seems that the whole MSPRO card disappear completely into the slot when I insert it. It takes me some time to remove it out.

As i've said earlier, do not overgeneralize the rams. even if u buy the HP certified compatible RAM also would have problem, as one of my friend had got the CERTIFIED RAM from HP and it still gives problem in memtest86+.

buying non-HP rams could be compatible too, and i am using 2x1GB of KVR DDR533 rams, took me 2 times to change with the shop before could get it to work. reason? the chips that are on the ram. afaik, hynix and elpida ram chips would not work, i went ahead and another brand of chip (forgot, will post the chip brand when i get back home, now i'm in uni) and it worked.

so not necessarily that the certified rams would 100% work, nor outside ram will 100% work. the safest way? bring a copy of memtest86+ (since all lappies have no floppy, then download the .iso file and burn a cd) and then test at the shop to reduce hassle.

OK! to answer the question...(btw today just helped my friend's 2 laptop from acer. both of her laptops even the acer standard ram also giving errors in the memtest86+, now have to wait for the acer technician to check)

1) Where to get memtest86+?

Get it here: Memtest86+ Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

2) What do i do after that?

Click on the link Download (Pre-built&ISOs)

Latest version is 1.70, and up to u whether u'd want the .iso file or the .zip file. the bootable binary is using floppy, the bootable iso is using cd. so if your lappie dont have floppy (i presume all V3000 series doesnt come with floppy by default), so download the iso and burn it using nero or whatever burning software u use

3) Reboot your PC with the CD inside

4) Press F2 (double check, kinda forget since i never go into laptop's bios cause can't tweak anything sweat.gif ) and select the boot order to CD-ROM/DVD-RW (whatever is your cd drive la)

5) Save and exit, and let it boot up, it'll read from the cd.

6) Memtest86+ will load from the CD and start testing, there's 8 tests all together, and make sure none fails. if got failure, then the ram boleh buang laugh.gif

what do u expect from a laptop? burn cd at 52x? man, u are a bigger piece of crap yourself. and do note, with ati chipsets once startup u can straight away use, but what i've noticed with nvidia boards is it takes a few moments before everything is loaded and ready to go.

why u like to generalize? acer also has problem wut, i got 2 5051 from acer, even the original ram can't pass memtest86+ @ 5-5-15 at CL5 ok? and 5051 comes with a standard 533 ram for the whole production, but they misplaced one 667 into one of the two lappies...

went yesterday and sat down with them to troubleshoot, but then still can't fix it, they're surrendering and calling the acer technician to settle.

what my point here is saying is that don't just over-generalize on problems for one manufacturer. everything sure got its fair share of problem, and it's us who gives it chance to improve.

iv posted about the problem i have with my v3125au.

i get random bsod when i turn on wifi/bluetooth. according to hte hp website, i was suppose to update the bios firmware which i already.

someone is gonna buy my laptop anyway so might as well i get some better laptop [:

nonetheless the v3000 series is the best looking laptop for its price tag. it puts any other laptop brands to shame within the price range.

Hi guys,

I have a V3105TU and I notice there is a Infrared next to the speaker output. How can I use it to connect my Nokia phone to infrared to my notebook?

Will it auto-detect just like bluetooth?

depends on the CD that u buy la. sometimes u buy those CDs are already farked up, like my friend. he bought movies from those CD shops, came back like cannot play cause the CD itself was problematic and one even had scratch on it...

did u too upgrade extra 667 ram? if u did, i think that might be the problem. my news source says that the new compaqs are equipped now with 533 instead of 667 as most of the 667s are incompatible and gave a lot of errors...compaq even released 4 updates at one time to fix this issue

I brought it back to the shop and they tested with 20 new 1gb infineon dimm chips. ended up after 4 hours still no solution then now on a different chipset. doesn't BSD me that much but still happens.. can anyone tell me if I'm missing a driver or something? or just that I'm the only one screwed here with a lemon notebook?

but.. i got some kind of problem here..

DOUBLE POST! --> taken from my post in thread "BSOD in Shutdown"

COMPAQ V3133AU --> my lappy is a new one.. and i like to hibernate instead of shuting down d whole system.. suddenly one day.. i switch on d lappy and the system cant startup.. cry.gif

usually after switch on the computer that in hibernate mode.. Windows would actually resuming the system.. but after 100% resuming... then BSOD popuped (stated that BAD_POOL_CALLER) and restarting.. unsure.gif

then i have to choose 2 option either to delete the restoration file and start the Windows or continue restart the sytem (means that resuming again).. hmm.gif then system wil start normally after i chuz to delete the restoration file... but my lappy keep fail to restart in hibernation mode.. sad.gif

at first i'm afraid that my hardware facing some problems.. but i'm sure that they're still new and working perfectly.. so then i try to restore my system using Windows System Restore.. and taaaddaaaa!! the problems solved! now i can hibernate and restart perfectly.. thumbup.gif (then i realize in Event Viewer.. i got alots of Error for my AMDK8, disk, DCOM, etc.. izzit related to the driver?)

infineon, hynix chips wont work...
try elpida instead, i had luck with that...
it's not missing drivers, it's just the ram. btw u bought 667 or 533? if u got 667, try downgrading it to 533. 99.9% chance u are better off with 533 instead of 667

Ok.. i really don't think it's a chipset problem with the damn thing hanging. I think it's more of the OS Bill problem. With Microsoft XP updated, it's running fine now.. however, I'll let u all know maybe next week.

May i know your Power Scheme ?

1.) Right Click on Desktop ---> Properties
2.) Screen Saver ---> Power
3.) Power Scheme ----> Set it to Portable/Laptop.

After you install latest Nvidia Driver for your notebook.

1.) Look for the Nvidia Tray Icon at the bottom.
2.) There is an option there to optimize your power saving by adjusting the display setting.

Hope this helps biggrin.gif

ha sorry for the misinterpretation, it's powernow technology driver

desktop is called Cool & Quiet, while laptop is PowerNow Technology for AMD platform

the software is used to downclock the speed of processor when it's not on heavy usage, like intel speed step technology

i remembered last time a forummer owned a compaq sempron without installing tht driver, the battery only stays less than an hour, after using it, it last 2.00-2.15hours

ha sorry for the misinterpretation, it's powernow technology driver

desktop is called Cool & Quiet, while laptop is PowerNow Technology for AMD platform

the software is used to downclock the speed of processor when it's not on heavy usage, like intel speed step technology

i remembered last time a forummer owned a compaq sempron without installing tht driver, the battery only stays less than an hour, after using it, it last 2.00-2.15hours

The 128 / 256mb of gf6150 is depend on ur system memory. If ur system ram is 512MB then may be it can share up to 256MB ram to GC. Better Ram better performance for ur gaming. One question,FEAR doesnt need a high end GPU to play? Someone said they play till blue screen with GF6150 wo.Correct me if i am wrong rclxms.gif

did u add extra ram in? if u did, that's the source of the problem
if claim for warranty, best u bring it to the HP centre yourself, at most about 2 weeks. if u go through your dealer, it's wayyyy longer than 2 weeks...

anyone who faced hardware and might think sending back for warranty is the only trick, pls go ahead

as long as u send it back to the HP headquarter damansara directly, u'll get ur part replaced/fix on spot most likely (provided they are free and parts are available)

i remembered the previous V3000 thread, there is 1 forummer has problem w the sound volume button. he went there morning, waited for around 3 hours at customer waiting room (eat their karipuff and surf net using their computer) and get the whole motherboard replaced

as long as u sent it back to the HP centre, u'll find their service is superb smile.gif

Make sure u check the hardware compatibility b4 u buy any MB for unix OS. this is a very important preparation.

btw, any high performance(7200 rpm or is there higher one?) notebook hdd to recommend? what is the small size availabe in markte now? 80GB? price wise? Will the battery life drain significantly faster?

li-ion battery will degrade seriously if:

1) continuous charging
2) completely discharge
3) charge it to full

source: http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm

QUOTE
Simple Guidelines

    * Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

    * Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.

    * Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

    * Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)

    * Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.

    * If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.

After install the driver. U may try other cd else see whenever can play or not. Sometime is cause by sensitive issue or purchased illegal VCD/DVD sweat.gif . If still same problem occured then you have to prepare to claim ur warranty.

li-ion battery will degrade seriously if:

1) continuous charging
2) completely discharge
3) charge it to full

Simple Guidelines

    * Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory.

    * Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges.

    * Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

    * If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.
hmm.gif means dat.. it is good to store the battery @ 40% state for long-period unused.. and keep it cool.. then we can it fully for once in 30 charges? hurm.. i understand that.. and try to practise d guidelines.. thumbup.gif

ONLY CHARGE FULL WHEN U WANT TO USE IT!! thumbup.gif

nice. but i dont think everyone would like to through these hassle.

me for example, charge and discharge all the time. battery life now is about 1 hour. i know the rest of you can still maintain above 1 hour.

anyway, if its seriously bad, id buy a new battery. cheers

I saw the V32xx series yesterday at display. If i am not mistaken it doesn't have the glossy finish on the frame of the LCD and the frame of the keyboard. So less fingerprint smudges. Correct me if i am wrong.

V3203 got DVD writer but V3222 not. If u does't need this then I recommend u take the V3222. Hardisk space not a problem,you can purchase a external HDD anytime when needed.

When I was buying my laptop, other people were buying other specs laptops but my laptop (V3204TU) was the only one with no problems compared to the others who bought the other V3000 series... somehow they had problems with drivers - no sound lah, etc etc...

apparently they are installed with new chipsets that are vista enabled ors omething...so old drivers might now work and the site hasn't updated with the new ones yet.

if u already installed the wireless driver, next step is to buy a wireless router and connect to your adsl modem.

yes I already ask the sales guy and he said it is Centrino C2D. But if it is centrino platform, why dont they display the Centrino Inside logo instead of only showing the Intel C2D inside?

As u guys know before this, most of the notebook is using pentium 4, which is for PC right? So I'm afraid that they are using C2D for PC inside of the Notebook... So afraid it will overheat... hehehe... Do u guys know what I mean?


I think most of u guys get the V3000 from Cycom at Lowyat right? So that's why I need your confirmation regarding this matter. Thanks

many brands also do the same, they only stick the C2D sticker.
It is a centrino if it is using intel chipset and intel wifi hardware.

Why most of you guys using AMD? I still have few doubt about AMD such as :

1. Overheat
2. AMD processor consumes more battery than Intel

Maybe u guys can say a few encouraging opinion about AMD so that I am confident to buy AMD

BTW, which AMD processor is almost the same as C2D? Is it Turion 64 X2 or the Turion X2? Which is better 64 X2 or X2? Thanks.

BTW, which AMD processor is almost the same as C2D? Is it Turion 64 X2 or the Turion X2? Which is better 64 X2 or X2? Thanks.
*
2 main reason they choose AMD
1. AMD more cheaper in price.
2. AMD using nVidia gf6150 that have a better performance than intel GMA 950.

The latest AMD dont hv major overheat problem alr la. especially turion 64 X2, u may use the powernow to save up ur battery.

the network controller is the wifi one, and this batch of 3203AU are using latest broadcom 4321AG with N draft support. so good luck finding drivers as HP not yet make it available @ their website. just wait la

edit: this is for win xp os case only, vista drivers are available.

cheers. just my 2cents

you cant adjust hyper memory. most laptops are like that if im not mistaken. it will only increease once you have added ram :]

Yea... the graphic shared memory is somehow related to amount of ram u have. If 512MB, i think it's fix at 64MB for graphic... I upgraded my ram to 1.5GB and able to increase my graphic mem to 128MB.

I could be wrong though... try ask HP guys.

RAM Upgrade README

Please check ur ram speed when upgrading.. make sure they are the same speed to utilize the Dual Channel mode... and make sure its double sided rams for maximum performance on a dual core system... (it is recommended that you use double sided rams for dual core processors)

to manually check the speed, you have to open the ram compartment first.. make sure you are well grounded before exposing any internal parts of the notebook.

the label of the ram is on the side facing the motherboard... you will have to remove the ram from the slot to check the speed.

iianm, it's 512kb for each core since AMD use individual cache for its core, unlike intel which uses share L2 cache smile.gif

so, it means that 512kb x2 = 1MB thumbup.gif

i think V3200 series should start with Vista caz of the wireless draft-n drivers...

AMD Turions are at least 300 bucks cheaper and NVIDIA Geforce Go 6150 performs better than Intel GMA950...

just x2. that's just how a ddr or ddr2 speed is calculated.
for example, DDR2-5300 is suppose to be 667mhz.
so, 333mhz x2 = 666mhz.

Checked , its use 533Mhz.

So the 533Mhz will be shown as 266Mhz in cpu-z? and the 667Mhz will be shown as 333Mhz? I'm kinda confused here. I upgraded 1GB of DDR2 (533Mhz) cause it suppose to be compatible with the original ram but when I check with cpu-z.. the original (512MB) shows 333Mhz (PC2-5300) and the new 1GB shows 266Mhz (pc2-4300). But does the difference between 333 and 266 makes a lot of difference? I doubt my eyes can detect the differences. tongue.gif

Somemore it's strange to know the original maker of 512MB ram is Samsung, not Kingston.


Added on February 5, 2007, 12:19 amMy PCMark05 score is 2,699. Any run the test yet? Just want to compare the result and see if there's anymore room for improvement.

so, 333mhz x2 = 666mhz.

For Carbon or Most Wanted i suggest to have more than 1gb ram on your laptop! Off the motion blur,off anti aliasing, and visual treatment to low. http://www.pbus-167.com/ here is the link for NHC . smile.gif smile.gif

DDR = Double D ram
SDR= Single D ram

so ddr has to times 2 .However, sd don't! smile.gif smile.gif correct me if i'm wrong. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

It is already tested by many of ppl.Don't have to worry it is harmless.Since it can only down clock but can't over clock cpu. If you are using ATI GC, u can use it to OC your ATI GC. smile.gif smile.gif

Windows Vista x86 RTM Installationbeta

Check if you have at least 1GB of RAM

1) Insert the installation DVD
2) Follow thru the menus and select the version that you purchased

Display would look horrible without Aero at first but you have to get the driver from Windows Update.

3) After completing installation, run windows update.
4) Select every Optional & Recommended driver updates. eg, synaptics, hp quick launch, nvidia geforce go, hypertransport, ricoh card reader drivers.
5) Go to Control Panel > Personalization > Windows Color and Appearance, choose the Windows Aero Colour Scheme and click Apply.
6) The End.

notice that the driver installation steps is shorter than Windows XP.

Hardware that will work out of the box with Windows Vista
- Wireless, Bluetooth, Ethernet

Is the Compaq Presario a vista capable notebook ? if yes, is it a windows aero capable notebook ?

to be correct,if u install windows vista home basic,then u wont get windows aero,unless u install windows vista home premium.

all compaq presario is windows vista capable machine beacause it already meet the windows vista capable requirement(at least 512mb ram) but it does not means that it will got windows aero

Can anyone tell me what is that symbol next to the headphone jack on our Compaq Presario V3105TU? Is that a Infra Red?

I owned 2 compaq lappie...

M2000 - M242xAU
AMD Turion64 - 1.5 years old

Very good all around spec but it have ATI X200 PCI-E with 128MB shared Memory. considering 512 - 128 = +-384MB have to upgrade the memory module to 1gb DDR but not DDR2 - it's power hungry! can standby for 3 hr on battery (while since it AMD...ohh well).

V3000 - V3235TU
Intel Core Duo - 9 months

It;s was ok but the drivers for this model is quite hard to find...jammit!!
HP doesn't list all the drivers need to install! some of it i have to collect from somewhere else although most of HP/Compaq have same hardware - but it seems try & error cost me alot of time in downloading drivers -


take a look here

Hi all..i m new here..

wanted to get a laptop soon..

have few questions in mind...

is the Hp-compaq Presario V3218 using the Centrino Duo Technology ?
becoz some brochures say Centrino Duo, some just stated Intel Pentium Duo Core..what processor this model uses?

and if compared to the AMD model (V3222), which one is a better deal?

how are their battery lifes generally? planned for normal usage..smile.gif

Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

I think dual channel can only work when 2 slots of ram are similar.Eg. 1gb + 1gb or 512mb + 512mb. smile.gif smile.gif correct me if i'm wrong. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

If u want to run vista or gaming better take V3222 come with GF6150(which better than GMA). All u need is upgrade ur RAM to 1 or 1.5 Gb.

so far kingston is ok. Better take to the shop install n test over there. See whenever can support dual channel or not. Is prefer returnable if the RAM cant functional or incompatible.

Kingston 1GB DDR2 is around RM285. That's last week price though when I bought my V3203AU and upgraded it on the spot. The original ram is Samsung, i think.

I think not worth to get this model with this price lo. RM3999 no dedicated Gpu(intel GMA somemore shakehead.gif ),vista home basic only(no aero function)

For me with this price, I will get the HP pavillion DV6205TX.The processor speed is slower but if suppot vista with aero,This is better.It comes with vista home premium,GF7400 dedicated GPU,remote control(for multimedia use),15.4"LCD,lightscribe enable dvd writer..

Or customise at dell (inspiron 6400), U ll say "wow" there icon_idea.gif

Thanks tplcaik for your response.

I again call HP telesales on the HP DV6205TX and they told me its Intel Core Duo Processor where as the HP Compaq Presario V3205TU is Intel Core 2 Processor.

My main concern is videoediting ( those cut and paste sort of but no fancy transition ) for one day edit. i.e. shoot in the morning, edit & presentation in the night.

Its there a big difference? Can I do videoediting on both machine?

As for Dell, I help my niece to purchase the 6400 last mth. If Dell should have 24mths 0% installment than I would have ordered from them.

Regards

no need to oc la... i was thinking to do same thing..
if overclock we need to increase the voltage n at the same time the temp will up..
so we need 3rd party cooler.
so my advice better u upgrade ur hardware like ram or proc maybe? to get high performance on ur lappy... icon_rolleyes.gif

i've installed nVidia control panel in my v3119. In Performance > Manual Tuning > Adjust Motherboard Settings under System Clocks.... if i adjust the reference clock speed from 200 to 250MHz.... it shows CPU Core frequency as 2000MHz.

Is this same as overclocking cpu? is this safe? any idea?

Hi people. I own a hp compaq v3119. I noticed that the temperature level reached quite an alarming state of over 70 celcius after an hour's usage. Is it normal? It's running on AMD Turion x2 with 2gb worth of rams. The rest of the specs are the same.

p/s: Just bought this amd lappy a month ago. I also have another 3 months old v3000 series with c2d processor. Can i be added to the lists? rclxms.gif

I seriously hope it's the usual thing to have such a temperature. I actually own 2 v3000 series. I sent the other back to claim warranty 2 weeks ago. The lines suddenly appeared on the LCD screen. When i say lines, i don't mean scratches or cracks on the screen surface. I meant something's wrong with the lcd liquid. Nearly gave me a heart attack. This other's temparature isn't as extreme. I guess it's because it's running on c2d.

lol....i bought this lappie from "GEEK"
i go back there and they cannot fix this problem for me.
they ask me send back to HP tower at damansara for warranty.
the problem is i do not have transport.
so i hope have other solution beside sending back to HP.
i'll put send back to HP as last solution.

eh...if going to HP service center at damansara, how to go there by public transport(taxi,lrt,bus)? and will they take vr long to fix it? long means 3-4 day.

man.. that will eat up my space!
lolz.. i wonder will it cause my labtop slow or what.. i think i will wait awhile 1st..
actually i don really like the Window Vista interface..
i only love one thing about window vista = It's NEW..
haha..


Added on February 11, 2007, 12:48 amPersonal Mini Review from Andiboi.
Haha..
let me give out my review about this notebook..
i bought this notebook from last month..
the reason i bought it:
1st the design attract me.
the design of this notebook are really "Beutiful", yes i describe it as "BEUTIFUL".. haha..
Secondly, the price of this notebook are reasonable and cheap. and can last me for 3 years.

V3166 Technical Specifications:
* AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-52 (1.60GHz/512KB)
* 14.1" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800)
* NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150
* 1512MB DDR2 SDRAM
* Super Multi 8X DVD+/-R/RW w/Double Layer Support
* Dimensions: 13.15" (L) x 9.33" (W) x 1" (min H)/1.54" (max H)

i been using this notebook for 2-3 weeks i think. i have not encounter any problem and error. I'm so satisfied about this notebook. the heat is no hot but warm, normally the hdd temperature always stay at between 50'c when i do a little surfing,music listening,msn. So i think the heat aren't a problem, the heat are normal and not hot. but the negative part about the heat is some ppl will like to buy a cooling pad for it, but the heat coming out is located at bottom left part. Lot's of cooling pad, the fans are built at middle and top which useless for overcome the heat of this notebook. So v3000 users are having hard time to find a cooling pad.
Haha..
I am not a profession of IT so i cant really tell how the processor speed or the graphic card. so i will give out a very simple review from a very simple ordinary consumer. Hehe. I do my homework, surfing, listening music, chatting at the sametime, i didn't encounter any slowing. I am so happy bout it, it's very fast and smooth. I try play games, mostly i play chinese rpg games but i do play NFS for testing. I play NFS with low setting and it run very smooth and nice. it's very good for me already as i am not a serious PC Gamer.

Anyway, i will upload pictures soon.

Pros:
+Design BEAUTIFUL
+Reasonable Price(Can said it's cheap too)
+Light Weight
+Clear and Sharp Screen

Cons:
-System recovery are saved in HDD

you laptop temperature is quite impressive.are you using it in air-con room?cos mine reach around 65 for both cpu and harddisk during playing dota.by the way, didn't check gpu temperature because didn't install everest, using NHC only.Actually the AMD isn't the main issue of heating problem, since it maintain at a quite low temperature.The main problem is HD always excess 55c

I just bought my laptop(V3222) this wednesday, i think you should be able to find it in only few shop in lowyat because most of the shop no stock already.you can try to find it in 3rd floor of lowyat.Overall, i sastify with my laptop but only about heating issue of it...

nah, the speaker are quite ok already compare to other notebook..
unless you're a audiophile person.. there's no notebook out there can suit your listening.. hehe.. all notebook speaker are terrible.. so it's recommended to buy an external speaker or an audiophile earphone.

correct me if i'm wrong.

you laptop temperature is quite impressive.are you using it in air-con room?cos mine reach around 65 for both cpu and harddisk during playing dota.by the way, didn't check gpu temperature because didn't install everest, using NHC only.Actually the AMD isn't the main issue of heating problem, since it maintain at a quite low temperature.The main problem is HD always excess 55c

I just bought my laptop(V3222) this wednesday, i think you should be able to find it in only few shop in lowyat because most of the shop no stock already.you can try to find it in 3rd floor of lowyat.Overall, i sastify with my laptop but only about heating issue of it...

Yo bro is in normal room temp.I get the GPU temp by the nvidia video driver original 1.Now the cpu is 47c hd 47c gpu 63c. smile.gif smile.gif

Could be your battery no more power.. or it won't keep buffer zone in your battery.. lappy turn to standby after batt reach 3% power.. then it should wakeup after you press swith on/off button.

try recharge your batt for long hours and discharge it... if still same.. refer to hp product warranty lor...

My room isn't air conditioned. There's only a ceiling fan. What temp do you guys normally get at room temp? Should i should get this heating problem checked by somebody?

p/s: what software do you ppl usually use to detect temp? Just downloaded AMD PowerNow! Dashboard. The CPU temperature was hovering around 50C after 4 hours for the notebook. And GPU core temp was around 70C. OK kah?

Yea... the graphic shared memory is somehow related to amount of ram u have. If 512MB, i think it's fix at 64MB for graphic... I upgraded my ram to 1.5GB and able to increase my graphic mem to 128MB. 

I could be wrong though... try ask HP guys.

I never download an individual driver file. I let the windows scan my hardware and it updates itself from the internet. Try going to website link from HP help menu. Press F1 from ur lappy and the customize HP Compaq help file should appear.

i been using this notebook for 2-3 weeks i think. i have not encounter any problem and error. I'm so satisfied about this notebook. the heat is no hot but warm, normally the hdd temperature always stay at between 50'c when i do a little surfing,music listening,msn. So i think the heat aren't a problem, the heat are normal and not hot. but the negative part about the heat is some ppl will like to buy a cooling pad for it, but the heat coming out is located at bottom left part. Lot's of cooling pad, the fans are built at middle and top which useless for overcome the heat of this notebook. So v3000 users are having hard time to find a cooling pad.

myb later coolermaster wanna produce one more custom-made for V3000 user rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
