Works great, Alienware Aurora M7700 D9T or D9K is AMD CPU model. Do you have any more on this unit?

This guide will definitely work for the following laptop models:

Base Model: Clevo D900T (D9T)

Rebranded Models:
Alienware Area-51 M7700
Sager 9860

It is a gaming laptop designed as a desktop replacement.

That is most likely a rebranded Clevo D900T.

Hi,
Thank you for an excellent resource.

I have an issue with my Compaq 8510P that has been holding me up for months. Would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

The 8510p came with a Hitachi 160Gb SATA I disk. I want to upgrade to a larger, faster disk. However, the original drivers appear weird. They are identified as ATA only, not SATA. Attempts to update the drivers fail, with messages such as “hardware does not support this driver”.

But the disk model identifies it as SATA.

When I ask HP, I just get responses like “these are the only supported disks”. The Intel chipset spec’s say nothing about the disk interface.

Do you know if the 8510p will support a SATA II (3Gb transfer rate) disk? A clear answer to that will tell me if I am attempting the impossible.

Thanks again,

Peter

I followed your instructions about replacing the inverter on my hp dv9000 but I still get a screen that can only be displayed by using a flashlight. Any other suggestions?
