I honestly don't know. Meeting friends and hanging out. Wheeling too I'd assume but I don't know who else is a Jeeper. These plans obviously weren't made by me.

Anyone a computer genius? I'm having technical problems. I've got 2 laptops. One has a bad hard drive but it's in physically great shape. The other has a broken screen and it's having trouble with it's wireless card. Both are HP Pavillion DV2500 series laptops that I bought in 2008. I need to make 1 complete laptop. Can I remove the good hard drive and just put it in the one that had the blue screen of death and will it work or will I have to download the OS again?

Exact model #'s are:
DV2715nr - Bad hard drive. Used a 3.5 external HD in it for a little but it doesn't fit right.
DV2988nr - Daughter dropped it. Works but screen is broken and network card is ??

I thought about just swapping screens but it looks pretty difficult.

-well if ya git lucky---clean yer tuna-mahi-mahi, whatever,put it in a ziplock baggie,fill with water,burp out the air and freeze it solid, bring it home and i'll show ya how to make yourself drool!!! cookin it on the grill

it may work - drivers are likely a bit different but the mobo should be close enough to boot it. Try it out - only takes 30 seconds to swap drives. Worst case you swap screens. I can do that for you if it comes to that.

OK, I'll try it now. I'm trying to avoid having to buy my daughter a laptop before xmas.

OK, I just swapped drives and everything appears to be working. This is good for me since now I don't have to buy my 15 yr old a new computer!

So now I have the DV2715nr up and running. I looked at the system properties and it shows it's a 64 bit system with 2.0GB of RAM with a AMD TL-58 1.9GHz processor. Since the other computer now has no hard drive and a broken screen can I take any of the RAM out and add it to the one that is working?

dukie564

you might be able to, if there is a spot open (probably not) and the RAM is the same speed/latency.

It's likely that they will match, but i can't guarantee it.

Thanks for all the help. In the past hour I was able to swap hard drives so I didn't lose all the info on the computer and upgrade it from 2GB to 4GB of RAM. Now it's time to drink a beer!
