I'm sorry, I'm not that good with hardware stuffs, but can you explain how to or what is thermal paste?

Basically its the material you put between the heatsink and processor/chip so the heat transfer will happen fast enough for it to dissipate.

this is the stuff and how to put it.


and this is how NOT to put it.




If your laptop is still under warranty and u don't want to mess with the proc/board, better send it to the service center and let them do it.

Hi, I'm looking for a good HP laptop but the online store doesn't have much options. Was thinking about getting either the ENVY or the dv6. Could anyone recommend a good dv6 laptop please. within the price range of 3000. Thanks. smile.gif

Hello there everyone, I've had my dv6 for about 2-3 years now. Now it's really getting old and problem is, it's starting to be hotter than usual.

Should I take it to the HP Store to replace the heat sink in it? I tried opening the notebook itself and I managed to reach the heat sink in it, cleaned it and it was okay for awhile but it's still getting really hot. So what's your opinions?

I had the same issue. I just brought it to a laptop store and told them I want a maintenance for dust-removal and replace the thermal paste. It works better now but I think I also will eventually move on to desktop

When my laptop started getting hotter than usual, I used a vacuum to suck some dust out. Now it's back to normal. Dafaq

Hi Acid, my Pavilion DV6-6114TX was operating without too much problems for 2 and a half years plus and just recently I discovered my Bluetooth cannot work when I tried to send a file popping up an error stating that "Bluetooth device not found". icon_question.gif sad.gif

Attached Image 1undefined

Besides that I also noticed that the icon had gone missing from my taskbar. So I pressed customize taskbar and the Bluetooth icon is not there either.

Apart from that, Besides "Bluetooth Devices" missing in the control panel's "Devices & Printers" which was eventually there before I noticed this problem, I also noticed when I press the wireless sign on my keyboard to switch off all wireless, then after that I switch it back on, there is a message showing "USB Device Not Recognized". I suspect it is somehow related to the Bluetooth as I know switching off the wireless on the keyboard shuts Bluetooth and WiFi off together.

Attached Image 2undefined

Besides that there is also a yellow waning sign in my device manager which was the unrecognised USB device mentioned earlier.

Attached Image 3undefined

Plus, as you can see in the photo below, there is no signs of any Bluetooth adapter found in my computer.

Attached Image 4undefined

Apart from those I also noticed that the "Bluetooth Devices" icon and settings is also missing in my control panel's "Hardware & Sound" & also "Network Connections". They were there before I noticed this problem.

Attached Image 5undefined

Attached Image 6undefined

So I tried to reinstall the Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth driver (Version: 6.2.0.6300) from "HP Recovery Manager" but it didn't seemed to work. However, when I searched for Bluetooth in the "Start" search bar, the program is still there, so when I open the file location and pressed on the program no respond at all.

So, do you have any idea could this be a hardware problem or a software problem or most probably something wrong with the driver? Your advice is kindly appreciated. Looking forward to your reply. Thank You. smile.gif

Can you check the HardwareIds? Right click Properties on the Unknown hardware, select Details tab and in drop down menu select HardwareIds.

Try couple more driver, if same maybe the antenna quality is degrading.
My DV6 is the 1st batch and it have Sata 3. I'm sure urs have Sata 3 too.

It should support any capacity available right?
Did you install DSE before installing Leshcat?

WHQL AMD driver won't support our GPU but AMD Beta driver does assuming you already have switchable driver installed in your system.
I don't think it will support.. but Crysis 3 does benefit from hyper-threading though and FarCry3 did not.
I normally right click and hide all unwanted updates.

my warranty is ended next month.And there is a notification pop up on my windows and ask if i would like to extend the warranty.I click the link and it leads me to this page.

http://h20386.www2.hp.com/MalaysiaStore/

The cheapest is Rm210 apparently.But as far as i remember the care pack wasn't that expensive that time.
