What is the difference between dv7 and dv7t

I am having a really hard time getting my Blue Ray drive to play any Blue Ray discs and need to find whatever drivers make it work after upgrading to Windows 7 64bit. Any help would be appreciated because it is really frustrating. I've tried every driver I can find from HP and Cyberlink and nothing lets me play all my discs. Mainly anything newer than 2 years ago won't play at all. The drive is spinning it and the drive shows a Blue ray in the description but it says Load disc and doesn't do anything from there.

It worked perfectly until i went to Win 7. I even tried the Vista drivers in the Recovery console but still won't work. This will help us locate resources, drivers, and identify correct parts for your specific model.

Your link didn't lead to an article. I need to know if it's a dv or dv, , etc not the part number. I know my HPavilion dv7 serial number but can't tell which "series" it is. If it matters for product support it should not be so hard to figure out which one it is I too would love to know how so I can get the right drivers for my graphics card - haven't ever had any luck on forums like these though. Good luck to both of us! So thanks to some snooping around and help from forum members on Reddit, I actually managed to find an answer to this.

It's on the laptop itself, underneath. On my dv7 which I now know is a Envy dvtx it was behind the battery. Just flip it over either turned off or at least plugged in, obvs! On some models it's on a silvery sticker apparently, but on my one t was printed directly the laptop body. I went back and forth on a new DV7, or an Envy I ended up going with the quick-ship Envy 17 non 3D Ordered with an EPP, it is a pretty decent deal!

One model of the Pavilion laptop series manufactured by HP in HP Pavilion dv7t These are some common tools used to work on this device.

You might not need every tool for every procedure. If you are having any problems with the Pavilion dv7t, please refer to our troubleshooting page here.

This original Pavilion was a desktop, but the series has since extended into laptops as well as notebooks. The main difference between all these models is the processor they come with. The Select Edition has the i5 processor while the Quad Edition has the i7 processor. The Quad Edition also comes with four speakers two in the lid and a subwoofer. Therefore all replacement guides should work for these models, with the exception of the speaker replacement for the Quad Edition.

The Pavilion Notebook series did have a recall on batteries in
