hi,

just want to ask a noob question: i made the recovery discs, so if anything happens to my notebook next time (touch wood sweat.gif)
i just boot from recovery discs and follow the procedures? that's it?

btw, is the OEM key included inside the recovery discs? or do i need to dl it using software shown on the first page?

thx

O.O actually the recovery disk is more like an image of your hard disk at factory default if i am not wrong. So if something went wrong, just restore your whole hard disk to become like when you just unwrap your dv6 except from those physical scratches that cannot be undone.. lol..

I don't think that is possible. It's better to buy your laptop without a Beats Solo or sold off your Beats Solo and get yourself a Solo HD instead.

I think the consensus is around RM 500. You can search around the garage sales and see what are the price they offer out (those who bought it with DV6, not those who sell the retail/AP version).

Put in the disc, press F12 or Esc, change the boot sequence to Optical Drive, then just follow the instruction from the disc..

120W (609941-00) is not sold in malaysia. The other options are from HP website

90W
*I have tried using a 90w ac adapter from another HP series. I am able to charge but it is slower than the 120W*



150W

or maybe 3rd party chargers available in the market...i read from other forums that they can use dell 90w adapter which have the same socket with us but not sure about the long term effect..

i was thinking of the promotional adapter in online deal but still it's costly... RM150 for 90w
any other optional charger for our dv6?

Can't remember the price:sweat: but I was asking the guy if there are slimmer 120w power adaptor as I find the original adaptor is too bulky...
