[Drivers] HP dv3-2XXX, Compaq CQ35 / CQ36 (INTEL)

that wont be a problem anymore, i have saved bios F12 and F13 on my hard drive

 

Thanks, mate. It works.

 

Another problem just found. The infrared is not working. I've already uninstall and reinstall SP44983 driver but still didn't solve the problem. Any idea please ?

 

If you haven't already, you'll also need to install the driver for the HP Quick Launch so that the IR receiver would recognize the commands from the remote.

It still doesn't work. Any others idea ?

 

Dead batteries in your remote?!

 

It works! Thank's man..!

 

Hi, i have another problem here with my cq35-109tu..
I tried to install the "bluetooth integrated module 2.0 with wireless technology" driver from compaq site, and nothing problem in my device manager (all device driver installed properly) until i try connect my mobile phone with my notebook. The explorer.exe always crash and requesting restart.. And still i can't connect that both device.
I downloaded the HP Integrated Bluetooth Module from this forum (in 1st page of this thread), and yess, i can connect my phone to my laptop..
The problem is, when i check again my device manager, other bluetooth device is installed properly but there's a warning with 2 bluetooth peripheral device.. I don't know what the devices is..

 

Based on product specifications, the CQ35-109tu does not appear to have built-in Bluetooth functionality. Do not install the HP Bluetooth Integrated Module driver if the notebook does not have internal Bluetooth.

In the very unlikely event that your laptop does have a Bluetooth module built-in, try repairing the driver installation by launching the driver installer setup program again.

Updates to the original post:

01/13/2010

• Updated MediaSmart DVD to version 3.1.3509 (thanks lovegl and Command-HDX).

 

Im CQ35-109TU user, and it does have a built in bluetooth module,and its working fine. Justin is right, try repairing the installer, uninstall it first, then be sure to turn-on the wifi button (its also the on/off button of the bluetooth) before you install the bluetooth driver.

 

Yes, it does have built in bluetooth module.
I'v tried reinstall bluetooth driver twice, even i reformated my windows, but still it has a problem..
This is my screenshoot..

This problem came after i've tried connecting my phone to my laptop.
My phone is nokia 6120 classic.
Can anyone help me? Please..

 

Have you also checked to see if additional software is required for your Nokia phone? Looking at the Nokia website for this phone, that unknown device you're seeing may be a modem driver or something else that Nokia may be able to fix.

Hi!

I have just made a clean install with windows 7 ultimate 64bit on my new HP Pavilion dv3-2299eo ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...y&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=4040058), and install all the drivers i need in this thread without any problems.

But when I do a scan with driver-robot it sais that I have three critical updates. I don't care about the keyboard but why do I have two old drivers in my system device?

 

uninstall your ir driver.
reboot your machine.

after reboot, reinstall driver and reboot again.

 

have you installed Nokia PC Suite?

 

HP has now posted the new Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver package, replacing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. The original post has been updated to reflect this.

01/19/2010

• Changed "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" to "Intel Rapid Storage Technology."
• Added Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver version 9.5.0.1037.

 

All right everyone, I've been doing some major updating to the original post. Part of the reason why is that I am now supporting the new HP dv3 with Intel Core i3/i5 processors and the new Compaq CQ36 Intel-based notebooks! Welcome new dv3 and CQ36 notebook users, and I hope that this resource will be a valuable one for those who own one of these notebooks.

I am not done with updating the original post. Please check back frequently as I continue on working and improving these threads.

01/24/2010

• Added support for the HP Pavilion dv3-23xx and Compaq Presario CQ36.
• Added BIOS for dv3-23xx and CQ36 version F.06 A.
• Updated Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver to version 6.1.7600.30109.
• Added ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 driver to version 8.672.3.0.

Thank dynamius -- I'll post these up when I can.

My busy schedule has led me to be rather slow with the updates, but here are some that I made to the original post:

01/29/2010

• Updated IDT High Definition Audio driver to version 6.10.6255.0.
• Updated Broadcom Wireless LAN driver to version 5.60.48.18.
• Updated Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver to version 6.1.7600.30111.
• Updated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller driver to version 6.230 for Windows Vista.

If you are having problems with the Intel Turbo Boost driver, please uninstall it and wait for the next available release (which will hopefully fix the issues).

 

hi, i'm new to the forum. so glad to have found you.

i noticed that the realtek driver is gigabit, however, i have only 100base-t on my dv3... does anyone else have this ??

 

I believe your Realtek Ethernet adapter is Gigabit, but you're just going at 100Mbps due to your Ethernet cable or other networking hardware (this is normal). You should still be able to install the Realtek driver that is posted.

Note that Gigabit is the highest designation, but it can certainly operate at the lower speeds/standards as well.

 

New IDT audio driver is now up as well as several other updates. Hopefully compatibility will be better with this new IDT audio driver.

01/30/2010

• Changed "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator for Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family" to "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (HD)."
• Added Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (HD) version 15.16.7.(64.)2040.

01/31/2010

• Merged HP MediaSmart products into one table.

02/02/2010

• Updated IDT High Definition Audio driver to version 6.10.6263.0 (thanks lovegl).

 

i tried this driver and had a difficult time getting it to work...
and i seem to have lost the srs premium sound thingy...

also, the documentation says its for the dv4...

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47001-47500/sp47225.html


anyway, im gonna try v6.10.6246.0
from here...

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp46501-47000/sp46709.exe

 

I can confirm it works like a charm on my dv3-2080!

 

hi, I'd like to change my wireless card (intel 5100) with a broadcom.
Which broadcom card I should looking for? There are product numbers series I could check for?
I found this information inside the hp/broadcom drivers:
DEVICES SUPPORTED:
Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g WLAN
Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN
Broadcom 4321AG 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n WiFi Adapter
Broadcom 4322AG 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n WiFi Adapter
Broadcom 43224AG 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n WiFi Adapter
Broadcom 4313 802.11 b/g/n
Broadcom 43225 802.11 b/g/n

i.e. If I buy a BCM94321MC card, does it surely works?
thank you

 

actually, out of the box, my ethernet port was always listed as the realtek 8102...which i thought was strange. i have installed the latest "realtek PCIe family" driver, but it still only runs at 100mbps...

i am open to suggestions!

 

i upgraded to windows 7 a few weeks ago and it has been running smoothly up until this past week. one time i just left it on overnight and when i got home from work the next day it was at the login screen - i checked all logs on the event viewer and it appears to have spontaneously rebooted itself. since then i have noticed problems shutting down. when i shut it down, it stays on the "shutting down" screen for prolonged period of time.

I think what I want to do is reinstall all the win7 drivers. does anyone know what is the best order to install these:
intel chipset & graphics drivers for 4500MHD
ethernet
wifi
rapid storage, protectsmart
integrated bluetooth
audio
etc.

 

Hi,I've found the LIGHTSCRIBE SYSTEM SOFTWARE had been updated to ver 1.18.11.1 and the release date is January 22, 2010.
You can find the download link here
http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/LS_Update_1.18.11.1_.exe

So please update the page above, thanks.

 

Well, it's really no matter which is the first. But if you like, install the chipset driver first as it's the basic driver. And please note that when you install the integrated bluetooth, keep the bluetooth function open. However, good luck!

 

my friend has a dv3-2155mx. i installed win7 64bit and used all the drivers including latest BIOS and QuickLaunch drivers from the HP support page for the unit.

everything is in order except the brightness controls (keyboard + Win7 controls) are not working. anybody experienced the same problem?

will using the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (HD) driver here solve our problem? of course, i will also try when i get my hands on the laptop again.

[edit] also:

i don't think i installed something like "Intel Chipset Device Software" before, will there be a problem if I install it after all the other drivers are already installed or is it better to re-install the other drivers after again.

 

Has anyone with windows 7 64-bit and a fingerprint reader and has successfully made it work? a step by step process would be greatly appreciated if you have. otherwise it seems we have to wait til its updated -_-

 

Even though it's my birthday today, I'm still hard at work finding new drivers around the Internet for you guys.

NOTE: This new Realtek Ethernet driver that I just posted does NOT originate from Realtek, but from ASUS (which is rather surprising). See the Important Information section for this component on how you should proceed to install these drivers, since packages from ASUS are set up differently.

02/18/2010

• Updated LightScribe System Software to version 1.18.11.1.

02/22/2010

• Updated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller driver to version 6.233 for Windows Vista and version 7.015 for Windows 7.

Thanks ptmails, as you can see I already updated the post.

You won't have to reinstall all the other drivers if you launch the Intel Chipset Device Software.

Not sure about this one -- I do hope a new release is available soon though because the current one has been around for a while now.

 

the bandwith is terrible on that link... only for me? (~3kB/s)

 

Here are some additional ASUS mirrors if you're still having trouble with the original link:

thank you! that did the trick

 

It's working here. Be sure you install the drivers for the Validity Sensor first. You probably need to reboot afterward. After that's done, install the Digital Persona fingerprint software (be sure it's version 4.11+) and it should detect your fingerprint reader. The important thing is to install the sensor driver first, then the software after the driver is in place.

 

(This is a response to a private message. I'm posting my reply here so that the information is available to anyone else who may be having the same issue.)

My fingerprint reader is listed as VF301 with the following hardware IDs:

USB\VID_138A&PID_0005&REV_0<90
USB\VID_138A&PID_0005

I have a dv3t-2000 CTO with components equivalent to the dv3-2200 series. I have a feeling the newer dv3-2300 series, which aren't sold in the US, have slightly different components incompatible with the dv3-2000 to dv3-2200 series models, which is probably why I find a lot of the newer drivers posted have compatibility issues. I'm currently using the Validity driver (sp45208, package 3.1.366 REV: A, driver version 2.1.0.2) currently posted on HP's website found here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3919621&os=4063&lang=en

HTML: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45208.html
CVA: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45208.cva

I noticed that the Validity driver posted on the first page of this thread has a different hardware ID (USB\VID_138A&PID_0001 vs. USB\VID_138A&PID_0005). That might be cause of your problem. I haven't tried using the driver posted on the first page yet (and probably won't) since it works flawlessly as it is right now so I can't be sure of it, but it's worth a shot.

I would try uninstalling the current driver you're using and try this one. Right click the Validity Sensor in Device Manager and select Uninstall. Be sure to check "Delete the driver software for this device" when the confirmation box appears. Also, be sure the Digital Persona software is also uninstalled. Reboot, then install this driver. After you install the new driver, reboot again, then try installing the Digital Persona software and see if it detects your fingerprint reader.

Generally, I find the drivers on HP's dv3 Win7 64-bit drivers page work well with the exception of the Intel graphics drivers they have posted as they cause the display brightness controls to not work.

At any rate, hopefully this will resolve the detection issues. Feel free to PM me if the problem remains unresolved.

First off, thanks for answering my 2nd question. As for my 1st question:

I used Intel driver detection facility in their site and asked me to download and install a newer version of the graphics driver from Intel.

After installation, the brightness controls are now working OK

 

Here are some of the updates that I made to the first post within the last few days. I removed the Intel Turbo Boost Technology driver for the time being because most people aren't able to get it working for some reason -- it may be reposted in the future when the issues get resolved.

03/04/2010

All right everyone -- due to my busy schedule consisting of studying, sleeping, and final exams, the next update will be this weekend.

I'm aware of the following new drivers, including those that hyunf and lovegl had mentioned:

• HP MediaSmart Live TV, version 3.1.2206
• HP MediaSmart DVD, version 3.1.3719
• HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, version 6.2.1.1100
• Synaptics TouchPad, version 15.0.9.0
• Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet drivers

If you find any other drivers that I may have missed, please mention them here.

 

Here are the updates that I promised to put up on the original post, and now they are up!

03/20/2010

• Updated MediaSmart Live TV to version 3.1.2206 (3.1 A9).
• Updated HP Integrated Bluetooth Module driver to version 6.2.1.1100.
• Updated Synaptics TouchPad driver to version 15.0.9.0.
• Updated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Family Controller driver to version 6.235 for Windows Vista and version 7.017 for Windows 7.

 

03/22/2010

• Updated Broadcom Wireless LAN driver to version 5.60.48.35.
• Updated MediaSmart Music/Video/Picture to version 3.1.3615 (3.1 C2).

Please note that I will not be putting up the ATI Radeon graphics driver 8.712.0.0 (Catalyst 10.3) up immediately; this is due to the fact that it does not have a complete Catalyst Control Center feature set and that it does not include the HDMI Audio driver.

 

03/26/2010

• Updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology (SATA AHCI) driver to version 9.6.0.1014.

I also noticed that there are some new Validity Fingerprint Reader drivers and packages designated on HP's FTP for the dv3 and CQ35/CQ36 (SP47797, SP47801), but they have the same version as the one already posted -- is the current package that I have posted working or do I need to update the links?

 

Justin, isn't the Intel RST driver at v1023 these days?

 

I haven't seen any Rapid Storage Technology v9.6.0.1023 drivers at any of the official sources -- the ones I just posted were posted by Intel only a few days ago. Do you have a link for the new version?
