Does anyone know where to get a matte(anti glare) screen protector for laptop of this size? Does Lowyat or Digital Mall have them?

Hi ppl, I'm planning to get a dv6/7, any known issue in this model that I should be aware of?

Btw, if any1 kind enough to check whether this model can extend warranty in malaysia? I'm asking because I saw an attractive offer in garage but not sure about the warranty.

Guys, using the 6001tx here.
Since a few months back my laptop has been really slow as in REALLY slow.
Boot time everything.
Even surfing LYN on Chrome will be laggy->not responding-> crash.
It was never like this before.
And the fan, is really noisy.
And the heat coming out from the vent is really hot, I put my cup of water beside it, the water turned warm after awhile.
This has never happen before, and when I sleep my laptop, and when I switch it on again, the wireless driver,ati will crash.
Any idea what's wrong with it ?
This laptop cannot die, I have so much uni work in it sad.gif
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks smile.gif

You can't extend warranty for imported model in garage sales.

Chrome is eating the most memory from the task manager but I still don't understand the noise coming out from the vent ?
Should I get an air duster and spray the vents ? sad.gif

Nope, just really hot air coming out from the vent.

I wanna install them, might solve the Ati crashing issue. sweat.gif

im only interested with ati graphic and the quadcore they both offer that i wish to assign 3 cores for my virtual machines. are these good? i need it for running multiple instances of vm, heavy multitask and at least medium gaming to low-medium gaming requirement for most games available.

Maybe there is some process running that make the cpu hot even when idling. Check Task Manager again?

Anyway, try this method about graphic not responding.. change the value to 5 or 6.

I suggest get 6C19TX because Llano processor are not really meant for heavy computing even tho it's a quaddie.

Like i said in PM, it is the same GPU. 7690M XT is a rebadge of HD6770M but like forumer story20 has shown, 7690M XT got more headroom to overclock without changing the voltage.

Read here about the meaning of overclocking..
