nah, no need.
just walk-in -> take number -> be served by 2 options. 1-express service (b4 12/1pm) 4H service/2-normal service 3working days -> take the service receipt and go back.

by default, HP SC turnaround time is 3 working days unless there is no stock for parts or the issue is too abnormal that require additional time to monitor it.

btw, any1 would agree with me that just use the dv6 as rough as u can until it died by itself? eg. on for 24/7 (except for travelling), battery leave it be, doesnt give a dam to the heat when play HD games.
i mean from past experience with computer i used, it seems that computer that is turn on 24/7 will last longer for those that constantly shutdown and turn on when in use. just my 2cents on this

ya, basically is like that. unless there is no stock for the parts, than they will not honour the express service and will not charge u for that anyway.

seriously? i got mine for RM3099 with +4gb ram and wireless mouse free. the extended warranty, if purchased within 90days from HP SC or website, its RM199.

hp now using on9 extended warranty registration service.

DEL = delete

check the net for how to access the bios? most likely is the hdd cant be detected.

nice. mine similar to yors as well.


and my dual screen setup

i usually have 1 screen my game and another screen on movies/facebook/msn chat.

i tried my best to do cable management already.

its a 7 port usb hub and my mini usb speaker
i use a cheapo cooler pad modified a little bit to fix on top of my lcd stand.

the win7 disc u created is not the recovery disc rite? if its recovery disc, than everything should be back to normal once u restore it.

nope, hp will not do such upgrade coz its not permitted.

here is some steps for install ati drivers for ubuntu 12.04 in dv6

This time we're going to install the ATI (proprietary) driver, the process is more or less the same for 64-bit and 32-bit machines. This process is a lot simpler when compared to the Nvidia driver.

1) First, check the software sources, then paste this command into the terminal:


2) If you have a 64 bit system, do this step:


3) Paste these commands into the terminal to create a new folder and download your driver:


4) IF you have Intel HD graphics AND discrete ATI GPU, then do this(and reboot):


5)Overwrite the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file(anyway):


6) Force the use of the new xorg.conf file:


7)Reboot the computer, to verify your installation, follow the 8th step, otherwise you're Done.

8) To verify your installation, in terminal type:


9) OPTIONAL - you can try this for fun, in terminal type:


10) To get the unknown graphic details solve in the "Details"


11)To get the brightness button adjustable

and add this line "pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 acpi_backlight=vendor" behind of the default "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash""
so you will get this

i believe its for both.

if u dare to clean it yorself, just disassemble it yorself, else just send in to hp sc at hp tower@bkt damansara for service. RM144 labour charge though.

ya, for out of warranty unit. no charges for warranty unit. coz they will disassemble the unit, clean the dust and re-apply new layer of thermal paste. though, sometime it might be the fan not spinning at it usual speed.

the developer r considerate of those that r still using x86 OS. since most company apps r still using x86 OS, while most consumer r using x64 or so i assume since most new laptop r already shipped in x64 OS.

+1 i also did that b4 =.=;

alternatively, without using xternal program, we can always use msinfo32 to check for bios version

me. i only put sleep/shut down when im taking the laptop along, else it will be put on my desk 24/7 doing either nothing or bt download.

its screwless to upgrade ram.
