Same things happen to me , as if it has reached its peak life .






Dude , how much is the 1 TB SSD ?

My dv6-6c19tx reached its peak life as well.

Was running Windows 7 with leshcat driver 14.4 unifl all the while. Suddenly while playing game it crashed then i hard reset it. Then it stucked forever at windows logo and wont boot into windows unless i go into safemode and disable the AMD HD 7690M XT.

Send to shop for replacing the graphic chip, works well for few days then after that same problem again.

Guess it is time to get a new 1.

hmm , not reliable as i think it is . Plan to change harddisk to ssd , see if it make major changes in performance .

Yes 1TB SSD.

I was able to justify the expense because:
(1) The laptop is used for work (Sales Department).
(2) There are many photos and videos stored that are used daily in Sales activities.
(3) The time it would take for the Sales Team to trim the amount of videos to fit a smaller SSD or to transcode them to a smaller format would cost the company 2 days salary for 2 staff.
(4) The salary of 2 staff for 2 days is more than the cost of a 1TB SSD.

So it was actually a good decision on the part of my boss.

Also, the day after it was installed, the Sales Department managed to close a big account. So the 1TB SSD already paid for itself.

I used "AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro Edition 5.5."

I removed the old 1TB HDD from the laptop and plugged it into my PC. Then I got the new 1TB SSD and also plugged it into my PC. Then I used AOMEI to clone the drives.

Simple and fast. No need for Windows to shut down and reboot in a proprietary OS like what Acronis does. Copy speed was around 100MB/second.

Wow, it has been a while since I last visited here.. I am one of the owner of a dv6 as well, still running very good with all original parts.

AG469, I would strongly suggest to get a new laptop, no point spending 700-800, if it is less than 200 still can consider, but 700-800, IMO not worth repairing edy. Every laptop got lifespan one, maybe is time you explore new computer. Just my 2 cents

anyone got the driver for card reader?
window 8

Mine still going strong albeit the kaput HDD and power brick. Good thermal, snappy snappy speed (SSD), both GPUs still working.

Using it for surfing, listening to music and some gaming though not directly (Steam In-Home Streaming)



Have you tried completely remove the driver with DDU and reinstall it back?

Doubt the shop replaced the graphic chip, they probably simply reball it. How much the repair cost btw?

Did you try DV6-6C19TX driver? Or simply update it via Device Manager.

All the while I've been using Leshcat unifl 14.4 V2.4..

I tried completely remote the driver by using driver fusion, then ccleaner , then reinstall back. Same problem. Then i use the official driver publish by HP, also same. Send back to shop for warranty then so far working fine.

The shop charged me RM300 by the way.

recently i saw EGPU thingy over internet

think going to try it, anyone try it before??

OMG, This happen on me too, how much do you pay to replace ur graphic chip ? and which shop are you sending to ?

I pay Rm 300 for that.

i sent my hp to notebookzone at digital mall pj ss14 since it is out of warranty.

Sent it at your own risk lol coz i doubt of its durability after replacing the chip. and also cant expect quality workmanship from those shop lol

Hi Guys! I am using DV6-6114tx which bought around 4 and half years ago XD
I am having issue of booting windows after install the default graphic card driver provided by hp official website. Once i disable the driver in safe mode, it manage to boot into windows again. I am trying different kind of method(leshcat driver, official ati driver, recovering using hp image and etc), but still facing the same issue.

Anyone facing the same issues? Please kindly help me XD

thanks a lot

anyone here facing the issue of "slight electric shock" from the body when the laptop is running on AC?

the shock is gone while the laptop is on battery.

elco-ph, which model of candy driver you using ? also plan to upgrade to SSD.

Never though this model of laptop thread still can very active. Now running window 10.
replace HDD with SDD should be very perfect.

Did you try to use different extension?

Found out the problem is actually the power cord of AC adapter.

Change a new one then the problem solved.

hi all, it seems that my dv6 which i bought in 2011 is dying...
the fan dying warning pop up...

Do i need to delete all important doc before sending it in?
