Check if your CPU is throttled.

The only thing that still scare me is when u flex out the base cover to make clearance to the connectors on the left side of the mobo. Other than that is still manageable.

I opened the mobo again yesterday for the 3rd times and it only takes under 1 hour to complete. Without looking at the manual at all.

Basically u need to:
1) remove the components and wires.
2) push the keyboard from bottom and remove it.
3) disconnect the zif connectors on top cover.
4) pry out the top cover.
5) remove the zif connector and power cable from motherboard.
6) remove LCD, fan and bluetooth connector and unscrew the fan.
7) flex the left side of the base cover and pull the mobo out from the base cover.
8) unscrew the HSF and reapply the thermal compound.
9) reverse everything.

my only failure so far is that, now i got 1 extra screw which i don't know where it come from.

If you check the Manual.. to remove system board you need to:



The disassemble video on front page is totally different for my model.

u mean the complete time??? mine fast ar??

Come to think of it, my laptop like did not come with a manual le. Where is it can someone show me ?

So the motherboard were not screwed to the base? And do you need to take out the USB connector like in the video? I might have to apply a new thermal paste, since my CPU temp can reach 93-94C. About the extra screw, I sure it won't cause any problem as I have the same situation when the Dell technician comes to replace my laptop's motherboard last time.

The max GFlop for my laptop is around 52-54 while under throttle, mostly in the range of 42-48.

Its in the 2nd post.

I think got 1 or 2 screws and another 2 on the fan. You don't need to take out the USB module.. just need to disconnect the cable.

Hey, just bought the dv6 6001 with 8gigs ram today from lowyat. Great deal at rm2999 from the hp store (mobility square). Dont get the online deal!

price didnt change, still at rm3799.
package included laptop, beats headphone, mouse, additional 8gb ram, microsoft office and carrying case. external harddisc no longer offer as freegift

How much is DV6 6114TX market/street price if I don't want any freebies (don't want the headphone, etc) except bag maybe. Can fetch RM3000?

Emm, I call them yesterday noon, someone from the shop told me that for the price dv6 6001 with upgrade ram to 8gb - RM3600 ++.. how come u can get it with lower price (rm2999).

All frens, need opinion here,

For HP-DV6001tx upgrade to 8gb ram + beats headphone + Targus case can get only "RM3480", is't a good price?

dunno, got 2 hp stores, first 1 also quoted me 3600, then i went to the one on top, got promo @ 2999. but no freebies la, just the laptop, 8 gigs free upgrade, bag, kungfupanda stuff, dvd drive (blue ray additional rm190, which i dun need). the sales ppl at mobility square are a bit disorganized, diff ppl will tell u diff things

foogie, the shop at which floor? they still continues the promo?

Thanks for the advice and guidance.
I have just finish reapplying new thermal paste. It took me about 2.5 hours. Good news is I able to reassemble it back without any extra screw and the laptop work flawlessly. The bad news, I have broken a tiny piece of plastic frame that used to hold the HDMI connector in place. Luckily the majority of the plastic frame (~90%) is still intact. Temp drop a bit (not significant) but at least it didn't go over 90C on IBT.

p/s: Now I know what a ZIF is. Almost damage the keyboard connector when I forcefully pull it out from the ZIF socket.

I check the site still same price

Glad i brought earlier =)!

Your price is same as mine RM 2999, what kungfu panda stuff? Mine just give me free 4GB RAM (total of 8GB), 3 years HP carepack, and one mouse.

I wanna ask something. The beats headphones u guys have are made of glossy materials or non-glossy? Please reply, thanks very much )

It will be quite hard for this model. If the model is 6001tx then shouldnt be any problem

How much if this model? Actually what I want from 6114tx is the bluray drive. Any other diff comparing 6001 and 6114?

As far as i know, 6114tx come with blue-ray drive and also auto-switchable GPU. Others all same with 6001tx

Hmm I don't fancy the auto-switchable GPU, I will use manual anyway. Most probably 24/7 using the 6770 because I seldom use battery. So 6001tx doesn't have bluray hmm... Will think about that..
