Go to any computer store (Best Buy, Local PC Shop, Fry's etc) and ask for a PCI modem. Once purchased turn pc off, open your case and slide it into the white PCI slots. You will have to remove the back plate or tab just behind where it goes. Make sure it is firmly in place. Close case and start pc when it asks for the driver it will be on the CD that accompanied the modem.
Hi,
It can be. Sounds like your PC is having trouble reading that CD.
You might try to copy the documents to your PC by draggin them to your desktop and then try opening them.
Let me know how that works out.
Thanks,
Kaj
some laptops have a level that you can pull to remove it although I doubt that you need to remove your cd drive in order to install memory.
some laptops have a compartment cover with a panel that have some screw(s) holding it in place that once remove will allow you to get to the part where memory is installed. look for this panel at the bottom of your laptop
fyi
a) before you start disasambling your laptop unplugged your laptop and deattached the battery.
b) laptop are tricky to service so design and brands are different even amoung the same brand, so if you want to post the model of your laptop and make and I'll try to get some instructions for you (no promises)
c) check out this video to get an idea of what you need to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5LUXjMIQdg
do you have a desktop?
1. you don't need to remove your cd drive to install memory
2. you need to find out what memory your motherboard takes and how much you can actually put it (post the serial of *********** board and I can aswer that question for you.
3. installing memory in desktop is fairly easy... just open it up, ground yourself before touching any component and installing in the memory slots... depending how old your motherboard/system is some configuration may be needed in your bios but that's only if your system is way too old.. for new systems the memory will be recognized on your next bootup
4. check out this video to get an idea on how to actually put the memory stick in.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiFIgSQOY7g
I could tell you but it would seem like a long list of things to do. I'm giving you a link for a manual that tells you and SHOWS you exactly what to do. Start with the section opening your computer and then make your way to removing and replacing your optical disk drive. If this is what you needed please rate this as fixed. If you need more help with this just add a comment and I'll be glad to help you further. *Pay special attention to part that says what size drive you can install. This is a slimline and can only accspt certain size drives. Thanks. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00877796.pdf
Many PC's have BIOS settings that enable smart fan usage, when CPU reaches certain temp, the fans kick on high, when it reaches a higher temp, auto shutdown. I do not reccommend disabling these until you find out what is overheating. I had a PC that randomly shut off, something was shorting out on my mobo.
no pc told, Pavilion means zerothat name is is used on desktops and laptops for agesthe HP has diagnostics so run those. HP.com tells how.not told desktop or laptops. just 1 word."Screen"first Pavilion was 1995
learn to google mate.
this is no secret,gee millions sold.
A6Y530A
the partsurfer shows true model, and fails
this is the only post here ever asking for reverse code lookups
on models fake, and is not easy in vast cases
I guess you have no such PC, (look like)
so why ask this>? what prompted this quest>? not told
why not ask seller for photos of it if this is a pre sales question , is it>?
google and bing and HP all show that model # is BOGUS
so go back to your sell and ask the we can not guess PCs ever.
HP product ID# is best on the service tag for SURE.
where did you see this number, not told.
or that number is some 20+ year old COMPAQ PC ,lost in the sands of time, and no google hits.
you posted to HP forum, (not real) Hp.com is real
what does not working mean (KBD) dead, or 1 key bad or row. what?
symptoms matter most, for sure in a LAPTOP IS IT
the word Pavilion is on laptops and desktop, dig?
G mean zero , the service tag does not just say "G" sorry.
easy peasy lemon squeezy
HP.com
complex URL no?
go there
tell them your model # or better the service tag code ! .
then magically HP puts you on YOUR service support page
and all manuals and all driver before your eyes. amazing no?
NO told at all
or of a laptop or desktop or what./?
you posted ANON so I can't just read other posts by you to learn what PC this is , no I can not.
there are over 100 PC called G series, and vast years.
some PCs by them G1 to 7 are generations, like
HP Pavilion g6-1029tx Notebook.
if you can find the service tag the product ID # is what matters most
this code includes (real model, version , options and country sold)
see this, older PCs by them had this.
see that , all matters but do not post SN/ or service codes in public.
mine: procuct code (nnnnnnABA#)

I will guess it is 17" laptop, here is the mess just that 1 sized
once you see this you know that G series means not MUCH>
https://search.brave.com/images?q=hp+G+series++pavilion++17%22+G&source=web
old PCs do that, for many reasons. but no PC told at all just HP.
40 years of PCs ,10000 + models nobody can guess ever.
but I do have the answer, in pure generic form.
did you buy the PC like that used and bad Wifi. ?
the wifi card is missing, as was super common 10+ years ago.
someone put in the wrong card, not from HP list
HP blacklists (bios blocks) none HP cards (wifi)
the card needs a driver to work if not it is dead or 1/2 dead.
the PC needs 1 more driver to make the wifi buttons all work , all buttons related, if not they are dead or act odd.
The OS is infected, no OS told at all, not one clue nor if upgraded the OS, and not vast drivers are wrong or missing, (classic)
Im sure this this is not the free w10 upgrade, if it was that too kills drivers dead, for sure HP told you this unstated PC will not run W10 and has zero support from HP, on w10 AS YOUR SUPPORT PAGE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU AT HP.COM
bad news now your bricked it just like miillions did
google bios update bricked my PC and cry.
why are you here and not at HP.com
only they can recover bios.
they changed the rules now 10 time.
so only they know this, and are pain to deal with.
UEFI is the enemy here, new rule and regressive as can be.
in fact all new PCs can not be regressed, and some old now
they even delete the 20 version of bios there, to force that.
not saying they did that to your PC, but keep that in your head on all HP PC.
the last bios upgrade stated, no going back.
the Cntrl_+B might work , the flashback bios trick\
in your manual if you read it.
