HP Envy 17 - 1181NR two questions

[TJ8799]

I have a HP Envy 17  - 1181NR I just got in 

I wanted to know two things I was trying to find the Maintenance and Service Guide  guide for it but it only has ones that have the Windows 10 on it  and no dvd drive 

This is the Windows 7 type and has a slotted DVD drive

1 where can I find the Maintenance and Service Guide that has the upgrade info for the 1181NR model 

2 can the slotted drive be upgraded and can the CPU be upgraded it now has the Intel i7 Q720 CPU with 8GB RAM 

Thank you

Todd

Hi, Todd:

I have attached the service manual below.

Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors.

The best processor you can upgrade to would be the Intel Quad Core i7-840QM.

Chapter 3, page 25 of the service manual has the part number for a Blu Ray drive which would be the only other option offered.

Blu-ray ROM DVD±RW Super Multi Double-Layer Drive    HP part # 603790-001

Where you would be able to find that drive, I would have no idea, but I'm sure that it will be both hard to find and very expensive.

Thank you looks like i will have to take this apart as it seems to run hot maybe the fans are clogged 

where can I get the drivers and programs I see some on the net for others but not mine

Thank you again

Thank you looks like it has a TS TB23 in it so I have the BluRay 

and will upgrade the CPU wonder why a i7 1.60GHz kind of small if it has a Blu-Ray in it 

anyway you you made it easier to get this thing going

Have a Great Day

Todd

Anytime, Todd.

Glad to have been of assistance and that is great news your notebook has the Blu-Ray drive option.

You have a great day too!

Cheers,

Paul
