Hi guys, I have been using this laptop (dv6108tx) for almost a year. I have a problem here, my laptop can reach up to 8x for normal drama watching, not full HD, it's just rmvb file. Is this normal? I have CM U3, fans on by the way. Would appreciate if anyone could help! smile.gif

What player u using? What is your idle temperature and gaming temperature?
*
Media Player Classic under K-lite codec pack. Idle lowest 40C, highest 63C. Gaming temperature can up to 90 degree, on average it's 8x something. Anyhow I can increase the fan speed of U3? It's quite slow actually.

Can u open task manager and check if there is any other process utilizing the cpu?
Depend on what game u playing, intensive game like BF3 will hit over 90c if u're playing with TurboBoost enabled.

I played mostly Warcraft III / DotA. The temperature can hit over 85c. What's the TurboBoost actually? Any guide availabe for me? I would like to clean up the heat sink, or could I just apply some thermal grease to cool it? Quite sick of the high temperature. Even when I'm converting photos, highest can hit 95c. sad.gif

Anyone changed from HDD to SSD? I wonder what kind of enclosure (USB 3.0) exist out there. I am looking one for my HDD model TOSHIBA MK1059GSM. It's 2.5" 1TB 5400rpm 12.5mm. I looked for Archgon MH-2615 and MH-2612, as well as Hornettek 2.5" Panther HDD enclosure, just don't know whether it fits my HDD or not. icon_question.gif

Hi Sifus, i wanted to send my notebook dv6 to service center located at HP tower. Do i need to make appointment before go? Btw, usually take how long to repair my lappy or is it collect it on the spot?

My defect is the fan problem which detected when i switch on my lappy and the message will auto pop up during loading...

You don't need to make an appointment, last time I go, no people one. tongue.gif Usually it takes 2-3 days. It depends, or else you can send it early in the morning, file for urgent, then pay around 80-90 bucks for express servicing.

Any 2.5" enclosure should fit.. no? hmm.gif
*
I don't think so, because there are 3 types of 2.5" HDD out there, 7mm, 9mm and 12.5mm. Mine is the largest, if the enclosure cannot fit then have to buy another again, must do research properly. sweat.gif

By the way, anyone here using SSD? I don't have the product manual with me. Is it easy to disassemble the HDD and attach SSD?

Regarding the 9mm, it's the height of the HDD. There are 3 types of 2.5" HDD. For those who's changing from HDD to SSD, make sure you identify your HDD model name, and google it to get more information. If you're making your HDD as external, then only you go and buy an enclosure. I believe most of the 2.5" HDD is 7mm or 9mm, so no worries. smile.gif

As for my dv6-6108TX, it's Toshiba MK1059GSM. It's 12.5mm in height, so I have to buy a bigger enclosure. My personal opinion - larger capacity of HDD may be higher in terms of height. Acid can link this to first post so that the others can have this information.

Check if your CPU is throttled. tongue.gif

The only thing that still scare me is when u flex out the base cover to make clearance to the connectors on the left side of the mobo. Other than that is still manageable.

I opened the mobo again yesterday for the 3rd times and it only takes under 1 hour to complete. Without looking at the manual at all.  brows.gif

Basically u need to:
1) remove the components and wires.
2) push the keyboard from bottom and remove it.
3) disconnect the zif connectors on top cover.
4) pry out the top cover.
5) remove the zif connector and power cable from motherboard.
6) remove LCD, fan and bluetooth connector and unscrew the fan.
7) flex the left side of the base cover and pull the mobo out from the base cover.
8) unscrew the HSF and reapply the thermal compound.
9) reverse everything.

my only failure so far is that, now i got 1 extra screw which i don't know where it come from. sweat.gif

If you check the Manual.. to remove system board you need to:
The disassemble video on front page is totally different for my model. sweat.gif

Hello guys I am back. As I mentioned earlier I found a solution to create multiple copies of Recovery Discs. I failed. sweat.gif However, Acid, would like to ask you, your model is dv6-6001TX? After applying thermal grease, do it helps to reduce the core temperature?
