[Drivers] HP ENVY 15-1XXX (INTEL)

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, these don't work either.

I tried several hp drivers myself and none worked.

 

I opened my laptop Envy 15 1000 CTO cleaned it and everything works properly except for one thing, the max reported energy getting is 15W instead of the normal 45W it should receive, therefore both TB and HT are severely crippled, having the multiplier stuck at 7x instead of the regular 12x, what can I do to solve this? it is rather urgent!!

 

Seems like some condensator(s) is broken..? Just a wild quess...

 

Not too many updates with the Envy 15 these days...

11/21/2010

• Updated Intel Chipset Device Software to version 9.2.0.1015.

11/27/2010

• Changed "NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller" to "Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller."

 

It's because the jerks discontinued one of the few "perfect" machines out there

 

Yesterday on Windows Update, there appeared an optional driver for "Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad"

Code:

Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

Download size: 18.0 MB

You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.

Update type: Optional

Synaptics Input software update released in September, 2010

After some searching, I found more info about this driver here

Microsoft Update Catalog

 

11/29/2010

• Updated Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller driver to version 2.0.20.0.

This version is already listed on the first post.

 

That's true. And I did actually have 15.1.6.64 version installed already before. Why did it recommend an install again from Windows Update if it was already installed?

 

12/03/2010

• Updated Intel WiFi Link driver to version 13.4.0.139 for Windows Vista and version 13.4.0.9 for Windows 7 (thanks Rampant Speculation).

12/04/2010

• Updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to version 10.0.0.1046 (thanks Z3tor).

I wonder if the INF files between the two packages are different (might list different devices as compatible) - regardless, you shouldn't worry too much about the one offered on Windows Update.

 

12/15/2010

• Added new links to IDT High Definition Audio Codec version 6.10.6300.0.
• Updated driver links to Intel Rapid Storage Technology version 10.0.0.1046.

An official release of Intel Rapid Storage Technology version 10.1.0.1008 should be coming soon from HP.

 

12/18/2010

• Updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology to version 10.1.0.1008.

 

Just curious, why does the HTML documentation for Synaptics Touchpad 15.1.16.2 say that sp50732.exe is for HP TeemTalk?

 

12/20/2010

• Updated Synaptics TouchPad driver to version 15.1.16.2.

It turns out that HP made a mistake when making their HTML/CVA files. This mistake was also the reason why I did not discover it until just recently.

 

Is the URL for the AR8131 accurate? It keeps showing the license agreement page over and over.

 

12/24/2010

• Fixed the link to Atheros AR8131 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver (thanks warp_kez).

Thanks Z3tor for the following updates:

12/25/2010

• Updated Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller driver to version 2.0.30.0.
• Updated Intel Chipset Device Software to version 9.2.0.1016.
• Updated Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver to version 6.1.7600.30126.

Updated Renesas USB 3.0 driver and Intel Chipset Device Software packages are provided by GIGABYTE Technology this time around. The Intel Chipset Device Software adds further support to the upcoming Intel 6-series chipsets and 2011 Core processors, but it continues to support older generation chipsets as well. Please see the Important Information section regarding recommendations on how you should install this version, since it is packaged rather differently.

 

Apologies for not following protocol but I just found this thread while trying to update my USB 3.0 drivers and firmware. (Just installed a Blackmagic Designs Intensity Shuttle and was chagrined to find out my Envy 15, the only laptop certified to run this unit would crash whenever it tried to access it.) Anyway, there's an updated driver and firmware located at SONY/NEC firmwares Since I needed the firmware as well as the driver updates I thought I would pass it along here. Cheers

 

Thanks, but I don't link to Station-Drivers on the first post. The main reason being that it is an unofficial source for drivers. You can freely discuss these drivers, it's just that I won't post them up unless it is from a manufacturer or from an official source.

Due to installation issues that some people (including me) were experiencing, I removed the recent Intel chipset and RST updates as a precaution.

Check out the first post for yourself if you haven't done so.

12/31/2010

• Removed Intel Chipset Device Software version 9.2.0.1016.
• Removed Intel Rapid Storage Technology version 10.1.0.1008.

Hi Everyone,

I just want to say to the admin that his service in the envy 15 community has been excellent and I am grateful for having up to date drivers for my envy. I have been troubleshooting an issue with one of my drivers and I noticed that the intel sata driver has problems with 10-20 delays due to an ahci issue. I'm working on a resolution as it drives me fairly bonkers. I found a hotfix on microsofts site, but it is for microsoft's sata driver, not intel's. I am going to try uninstalling the intel driver and reverting back to the hotfixed sata driver to see if it goes away.

Here is my contribution to the community.

The video driver for the envy 15 1st generation system has not been updated in ages. I personally use ati's 10.6 driver. It is the ONLY one that doesn't crash on bootup from ATI. I don't know why all the newer drivers from ATI don't work with the envy but it is annoying. Anyway, 10.6 is very, very stable. I've been using it for many months. If you have a gen 2 laptop with the ati 5800 series, I believe you can use the drivers off of ati's site, although I may be wrong since I don't have that laptop.

Also, I successfully managed to remap all of my quick access keys. This was a major pain in the , but I really, really hated them. I remapped them to virtual desktop keys and now use them to switch virtual desktops. Much, much more useful for me. Anyway, I used Autohotkey and the following scancodes.

Here are some snippets of code from my autohotkey file. NOTE: It is very, very important to run AutoHotKey as an elevated user. Otherwise, elevated applications will lose the hotkeys. (Took me ages to figure that one out) I run Autohotkey in task scheduler as a "Highest Privilege" task with a delay of 1 minute so it can show up in the task bar.

Just (re-)posted some Intel updates. There are some important things that users should know about these updates, mentioned below.

01/05/2011

• Updated Intel Chipset Device Software to version 9.2.0.1021 (thanks Spyrus).
• Updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to version 10.1.0.1008.

The Intel Chipset Device Software packages that have been recently released seem to be overwriting the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver should it be installed. I strongly advise that once Chipset Device Software finishes installing, that Intel Rapid Storage Technology be reinstalled.

However, recent versions of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology are also failing to reinstall using the interactive setup wizard, presumably due to the Intel Chipset Device Software update. If this problem is happening to you, try using the INF Install method: the ZIPs include the INF files necessary to manually update the Intel SATA/AHCI component through the Device Manager's Update Driver wizard. I have successfully updated mine using this procedure.

 

And that's cool. Like I said, I needed the latest driver version AND the firmware update to get a USB 3 device to operate properly. (I've never seen the BSD happen so fast in Win 7.) I didn't see the firmware anywhere so I shared. And yes, the Intensity Shuttle (The only USB 3 device I own at the moment) works great with the updates.

Haven't had a pressing reason to update the chipset or RST drivers.

Did that. That's how I got here. Honestly, I was going to PM you the info I had but I'm not a big user of forms so was unable to find the secret button.

Anyway, I've got the thread subscribed because what you have here is pretty darned useful. Thanks for taking the time.

Hi. I have HP Envy 1090eg (1 gen): i7, Radeon 4830, 8 GB ram.

Yesterday i reinstall my windows 7 and I have problems with fan/temperature.
When my notebook is idle it's have 65-70 C on CPU. Fan on the right side is always working. Noise is really irritating.

I have new drivers from this thread, (bios: F.2A A).

What's going on? Please help me.

PS
This strange behavior I have to after fresh windows instalation.

 

Look at your task manager and see if there's a process that's using up 100% CPU time. That's what usually causes problems like that.

 

Ofcourse: my CPU uses 0-3% on all cores.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to setup TV output and I am sure updating my 2nd gen Envy 15's would be a good idea as the ones on there are from wayyyy back. Anyway, since ATI/AMD now does the unfied driver could someone point me to a guide on the proper way to use the newer drivers? I wasn't clear on if I just download the main driver package of if I needed to download some other one that then allows me to install the current set.

Also if anyone knows of a guide on how to set up TV output I'd appreciate a link. Am trying to send video to my 52 " WS and when I connect via HDMI both the laptop and TV image switch to 640 x 480 and I need the resolution to be higher.

Thx in advance

 

How old is your laptop? If it is as old as mine, I believe it is time to change the thermal paste. HP did a mess placing the original on mine. I did it better 1 year after the purchase.

I highly recommend Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste.

 

Catching up on the updates:

01/22/2011

• Updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec to version 6.10.6302.0.
• Updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec to version 6.10.6315.0.
• Updated Intel WiFi Link driver to version 14.0.1.2 for Windows 7.
• Updated Synaptics TouchPad driver to version 15.1.22.1.

The Intel WiFi Link driver package that I linked to also includes the My Wifi Technology Software. If you just want to install the driver and not the software (which I prefer), follow the instructions that I posted in the Important Information section.

 

Intel WiFi Link / Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi 14.00.1000 available now

 

Hi, I tried to flash my bios, but I can't boot my laptop anymore. I also tried a bios recovery with no success. I tried to rename *.fd files but I can't find the proper name. Phoenix tool told me "D.bin" for 147D.fd and "BIN" for 7009.fd

Does someone have already succeed to recover the bios ?

Has anyone got a bios rev with a 1522.fd file ?

F.1B for example

 

This is really great news! I'm thinking about buying the Shuttle, but was concerned about coming up with a USB 3 connection that can handle it. So far, only a handful of motherboards have been able to cut it. P55 or X58 series is required: Blackmagic Design: Support Detail. They also say "ExpressCards for notebooks are not supported and will not work." So the Envy would have to be the first laptop that actually works with the Shuttle.

So Marcie, is the Shuttle still working for you on the Envy? Any issues to report?

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830 / 5730 / 5830

I have an HD4830 for a video card. Is the updated driver posted also supposed to work with HD4830? when i tried to install it i noticed that it is an update for 5XXX series.

 

Those ones work fine in my Gen 1 envy. It installs as the correct one even though it lists the 5830.

 

For you all 4830M users, as long as you stick with the drivers HP provides, you are fine. Apparently the 4830M is not really friendly with the official ATI-released Catalyst Drivers. Ironically, the 5830M can easily work with the ATI-released drivers but yet the 5830M remains an only HP-requested GPU.

Hope the latter can continuing to reduce the terrible blue-tint low-light nonsense.

 

02/06/2011

• Updated Synaptics TouchPad driver to version 15.2.4.4.
• Updated Synaptics TouchPad driver to version 15.2.7.0.
• Updated Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller driver to version 2.0.32.0.

Note that the Renesas USB 3.0 driver update is offered by MSI.

 

Does using the official HP driver from this thread alleviate the black screen issues from booting on AC power? This is as opposed to using the catalyst mobility drivers from the AMD website

 

that was fixed with a bios update a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago

 

I must have missed that update, I have the most recent bios and still cant boot with the power plugged in

 

after updated with the latest touchpad driver, the touchpad lock on the top left corner is no longer working. Does anyone experience the same thing?

 

yep... my touch pads on/off button no longer works as well... and the light says lit when its on and turns off when its off

 

That's because the latest touchpad driver is from Synaptics directly, and not from HP. Go back to the previous version.

 

Intel has posted new chipset drivers that are compatible with the envy 15: "Intel Chipset Device Software 9.2.0.1025" from their website.

 

In the last week many of the keys on my HP Envy 15-1050NR have stopped working. I have always had problems pressing keys on the windows login screen so I am wondering if this is possibly a software issue. Anyone else noticed this? I thought I could update to the latest chipset driver but the link is broken..

 

i ve downloaded idt audio drivers then installed it and the icon of idt audio monitor dissapereared why??? its normal with this updated driver ??
thanks

 

I don't think that is a software issue, that is probably the keyboard connector failing.

 

Yes I already had that issue before. What you can do is to cut the connector of 1 millimeter, and it should work again.

 

great thanks i will try that. it could also have come loose since i swapped the original hdd for an ssd
