You guys really courageous warriors la... me no courage to do that...
Can i bring my dv6 to HP centre for them to reapply for me?

Yay!!! So now we dv6-6114tx owners are PROUD!!!!!

I think you need go read first page.... got all the required info....
Wonder why everyone dont read first post???

yep.just read it through.But sadly the speakers sounded a bit crap to my macbook.I dunno why.thought this one should have more energy and good audio.

No choice. If sent to HP, it may end up the same as before for the thermal paste application and may take some time. Besides I have some thermal paste left and want to know better the internal structure of this laptop.

Did you enable the Beat System, aka fn + B ? Under normal condition, only 2 speaker will produce sound, but when the Beats system is enable, all the 4 speaker will produce sound.

can anyone help me regarding the partitioning issue please?

yeap.enabled it.But I really love this laptop coz the front row of it spacious palm rest is cold.

Hmm... yeah, you have a point... Dont really trust the Hp technician's techniques in handling the notebooks... haih....
Anyway, congrats on your success Efalex!

First, you need to know that the computer can only have either 4 "primary" partition or 3 "primary" + XX number of logical partitions.
By default, our notebook is already full with 4 "primary" partitions, namely the system, C:, D:Recovery and HP_Tools.

If you want to repartition your C: drive, you need to first change D:Recovery drive to logical or delete it, dont delete systems (contain bootloader) and HP_Tools...
Then you shrink the C: drive while it is still "primary", dont change it to logical, it will not boot... experienced it beforehand.
Then your remaining spaces would be logical and the new drives that you created would be ALL logical drives....
So in the end, you will have System (primary), C:(primary), D:Recovery(logical, or deleted it), HP_Tools (primary) and others logical (the new partitons that you created)

thanks very much rurushu. Will give it a go tomorrow..really appreciate it. Can the D:Recovery be deleted off? what is it actually? Ive already created the recovery discs by the way. Oh and one more thing, when you say shrink the C: drive, that means resizing it right? which in my case, resizing it to 150gb...and then if i follow your steps correctly, that means I would have the remaining 550 gb as a new logical partition right ?

really appreciate the help, cheers

The D:Recovery is the recovery partition of the harddisk, something like your recovery discs (if im not mistaken, you can check back at first post the repartition steps by thisisboletaria, im actually following his guide, just that i encountered some small problems, but nevertheless, it was done in the end). You can delete the Recovery partition to free up HDD space, but i only recommend you do that AFTER you BURN YOUR RECOVERY DVDs....
Yeah, shrinking it means you resize it to your liking, then those extras would be automatically counted together as logical remaining space. You can create your new partitions from the remaining logical spaces...

what is the normal hdd temp? mine is 40C

Mine depend on time... under 50c in the afternoon and under 40c at night.

Where exactly is ninja land? japan


Any one found any nicely fit keyboard protector?

Is backlit keyboard possible for dv6?

finished crysis 2....finally...phew!

good game play... shitty ending

My Crysis 2 got bugs.... the nano catalysts cannot be accumulated... it would either decrease or becomes 0 after i quit and resume.... So, i fed up and uninstalled the game...

anyone can recommend a keyboard cover for DV6114? cant stand the keys getting oily and dust around the glossy area ><;

use external keyboard. removes the issue if you get hot palms as well.

wat brand dvd u all use to burn recovery media???

I use Imation.... you? Still facing issues when making your recovery discs?

im using this one. Comfy and good in quality

If i'm in Japan i don't think my HDD temps will got over 40c. lol

I didn't notice any extra connector for the backlit.

Upgrade everything with torainor and forget about collecting nano catalysts.

Anyone tried starting a few games (In game ,x in menu)and browser(atleast 10 tabs) with quiet mode in coolsense + without cooler + afternoon temp+placed on wooden study table?

This is my result.
