Even your simplified instructions sounds complicated. Haha. But you're right. I'm overly paranoid. I'm just afraid I might get a dead pixel. All it takes is 1 dead pixel to spoil my hard work!

hye..I want to ask about warranty..warranty void or not if I change my NIC card?this is the NIC that I want to change..
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2279196
*
should be no problem, but obviously u cant claim warranty for that wireless card. best is u refer back to the warranty statement as it provide u black&white proof should HP do not honour u the warranty if the statement doesnt state that u cant replace the wireless card.


Added on March 27, 2012, 6:27 pmoh...and make sure to try out 1st. coz the wifi card might not be allowed by the bios.

Finally got mine DV6-6C19TX yesterday with additional 4gb ram at RM65, free RM100 shopping voucher.

I shrink my C: and get 300GB for data partition, but it is labeled G. Drive D and E are occupied by HP recovery. Can i change the letter G to D, and change respective HP recovery to other label? Will i have any problem later when i want to use recovery manager? will it wipe off my D partition too?
*
best try not to mess with the partition naming for hp_recovery and hp_tools. they r hardcoded in the bios for booting to the quick web and hp recovery.

and.. i'm kinda afraid that fellow change my hp default ram ? is there anythings there call default rams? <= the 4gb ram i means.
is that possible for the seller to change my ram brands?
because one of my friend bought there n53sn with ram+4gb.. and after cpu-z it's given nanya/ and hyundai electronic ram ..

LAST QUESTION #IMPORTANT , the top question i already know bout the truth smile.gif
DO you guys recommended me to take Make sure your box is sealed and not opened when you COD?
i heard that's lot better cause seldom bloatware. whats the pro and cons? wat i know is am i going to install driver for myself? since this tread is providing the tutorial manual for driver install smile.gif and wat else should i do to the pre install window?


Added on April 7, 2012, 12:06 pm... it's not a good things to do much survey, 1st i did survey bout n55sf bout their pro and cons, and see the comparison with dv6 19tx. they did survey bout dv6, and going to buy it today.. and I found many people complain dv6 hp the heating issues ! is it real ? hp still havent fixed the issues yet? ... awwwwww please some 1 kindly solve my problems. I dont to waste 3k on a laptop with wearing gloves to use it. . . .~

ok last question answer me fast , so  i can book it b4 10.  the question is IF i wait until the ivy out, will dv6 19xt drop price? ! and will it be end of life?!
*
dude, hp consumer laptops has a support life of 3Y for consumer and 5Y for commercial customers (these are baseline by hp) if a new model out then older model end of life, i think they rather dont offer any warranty. =.=;

and for the price, we arent working in hp sales department, dafuq we noe the price will drop or not? sweat.gif

yes it's still green colour. i will try calling hp also to replace my keyboard. I don't want to plug in my battery all the time because sometimes i leave my laptop in the car. Heat will kill the battery faster. Do you plug in your battery even when you're playing games?
*
yes, and why would u leave yor nb in yor car ? blink.gif

i have my battery plugged in wherever, whenever i go. even if its in bike givi box that the heat would be similar to car trunk. i mean, if its gonna spoil in anyway of using/preserving it, heck, just use it to the fullest.

well, keyboard protectors helps in preventing unwanted things enter yor keyboard but it also blockade of air intake via the keyboard. u can try this, put a piece of paper on top of yor keyboard and use it normally, test the temperature of yor laptop. compare it the result. than u will noe wat i mean.
