the heat, for me its still acceptable without any cooling fan. heck, if it died, just send for warranty bah. since im gonna do the repair work myself after sending it for warranty. XD

left palm rest heat is noticeably lower/gone when u're using intel gpu.. the heat come from amd gpu. if i open the laptop again i will take picture of the metal part underneath that left palm rest.

just updated my bios, now fixed it to power saving gpu since i don't play games

actually no problem.. just fel wan make it can manual switching... if cant also no choice..

not yet try use the mouse to gaming...

I use Logitech M505 wireless mouse for first person shooter game, it's not as effective as using a wired mouse. i think it's still better to use wired mouse for gaming

im using microsoft wireless desktop 2000, played crysis 2, AC:R and DN also not much of a problem. sensitivity still acceptable range, just got once i play dota until the mouse no battery.

i seldom gaming...
& yea i more prefer on wired mouse to gaming...
i just like this HP mouse cus it look cool & i fel wan use wireles mouse..& this wifi mouse can save up 1 usb port...

I heard that HP easy to brake one. 1 of my family used to working with HP said that HP laptop design for fault. But HP design looks good and performance also quite impressive and affordable. Any comment guys?

i can tell u straight to yor face, acer and samsung are even worst than HP 1000% times. but its just a matter of luck anyway, for getting a good shit or bad shit.

Was he the office guy or the R&D guy?

There was alot of comments regarding this DV6 series.. you can start from V1.

my fren also working at HP.. he also using HP DV3...
he didnt told me that HP stuff easy to broke, but said that HP stuff so durable..
cus he always treat his office HP mouse so rude @@ LOL

hi everyone,

Bought the DV6-6168TX last Dec and still very much in love with this unit. I would like to share my experience of installing the 2nd HDD caddy from Casey.
I still need to do some modification to the casing because the face plate latches need very small adjustments. With these mod, you can detach the faceplate again if need to reattach the DVD drive. However, the way I did this may likely void any warranty (if there is any).




Removal and expanding the size of opening enable easier fitting of the face plate and removal for future.


The two inner latch (smaller), can hold the cover in place.


Detection by OS


Cheers

Dayyumm.. nice tuts with detailed step by step pictures. Nice work.
Any plan for Raid-0 configuration?

Btw, can you activate AMD GPU in Ubuntu?

AMD GPU sadly very unforgiving.
Some claimed the latest driver from AMD works...and I tried last weekend still couldn't get the X server up.
Maybe 12.04 this June and pray that it runs. Otherwise, I'm still ok for my work.

No la no RAID-0. Both drive bootable yet it'll be interesting to try run RAID-0 or RAID-1 just for the heck of it.

Lol yea.. AMD support for FOSS is horrendous, lucky enough i don't it to run in Linux. Intel GPU is more than enough for me.

Are u solely run on Linux or you dual booting? If you dual bootting, Raid-0 wont work i think.

nice

i will try to learn & do it in the future ^^

Yes only linux not dual booting. Btw for vgaswitcheroo, I only got that to start if installed 11.04. Stock installation of oneiric won't work unless upgrade.
