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..  Thanks in advance  This post has been edited by mindkiller6610: Feb 7 2007, 01:33 AM |

QUOTE(justabigguy @ Feb 15 2007, 07:54 AM) !!!correstion!!!! Thanks alot bro..I also have the same problem I bought a presario V3128TU with freedos but when tried to install Xp, Xp could not detect my hardisk eventhough the sistem does. Then i boot with Win98 installation cd and manage to format the hardisk and manage to get 80 gig but when i tried again to install xp the installtion could not detect my hardisk again. I called the hp customer care centre and they said to disble to native sata support on the bios. I did and it manage to procedd but when it reboot the xp installation displayed a fatal error saying it cannot copied file to the hardisk. Then i jump to the internet and seaching for an answer. It happened that XP is having problem is u install it on a sata drive. Have to F6 and load the sata driver manual via a floppy disk...haha..now come the biggest trick..this notebook does not come with a floppy disk..and how the hell im going to install the sata driver..and xp installation only recognize floppy as a medium to load the driver.. i hope this will shed some light and im still trying to find a solution to this. Added on February 15, 2007, 8:07 amfound something in the net...this maybe will help involve usb external floppy and some slipstream stuff look complicated.. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=532561&st=0  I disable the Native Sata Support and it works...Installing WinXP SP2. but now I have problem installing the sound driver.  QUOTE(bose00 @ Feb 15 2007, 12:47 PM) hi, i am using V3203TU. Same here...anyone can help ?Currently, using Windows XP PRO. Have done all the updates inclusive sp2 n etc. Installed UAA , mine is using Intel Core 2 Processor but the Coxenant for Intel cannot work so i installed the Coxenant for AMD . It works for the SOUND. but lastly, i still not able to get the MODEM to function. i check the control panel -> hardware-> there a sign "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" driver still not installed and i d/l the driver from hp site but it still did not work out for me. It prompted "cannot locate media device" Anyone know how to resolve this problem ?? thanks i 'd really appreciate it. |

QUOTE(emofags @ Feb 15 2007, 10:57 PM) try to use the vista driver. it works for me (the audio and modem), although i don't understand why.. (and maybe risky) is it ? later i try vista driver..for now i have manually installed the XP driver ..it works..but it is hassle to install..  QUOTE(LightEnchanter @ Feb 16 2007, 11:00 AM) just need to disable the SATA in your bios , even u enabling it after u installed XP will caused bluescreen , so just make SATA disabled at the time , that's all ya..at first i dunno that..so i keep bumping on the wall..after that i disable it..I can install windows Xp, but must be windows Xp SP2..no SP or SP1 give me errors..one more thing, for 3218 user , can your laptop go into STANDBY ??? Mine won't wake up , can anyone of you try on your lappy??? THANKS for the standby thing, my lappy works fine, I press the "fn" then the "moon" key, after that it will standby, when it is standing by, the power button will keep blinking, then i just press any keys to wake it up..including the power key.. have u tried it without battery with power cable plugged in ? QUOTE(tplcaik @ Feb 16 2007, 12:51 PM) Try another win xp sp2 disc. My friend also having the same problem but it solved after buy another version of sp2. May be that version cant support or got error. U using xp sp1 or lower? Try to change other version than that n see could help or not. ya..already tried Win XP SP2 from my brother..it works fine...Added on February 16, 2007, 3:08 pmoh ya guys..one more thing when i check my lappy with CPU-Z, it shows my ram is PC5300 (333MHz) i mean, since it is PC5300, shouldnt it be 666Mhz ?? or maybe it is dual core, so 333Mhz x 2 = 666Mhz ?

V3218TU Audio drivers Tutorial (might be applicable on other models though)
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 This post has been edited by mindkiller6610: Mar 5 2007, 12:40 AM |
