Just want to share a song and video on the feeling of those who has ever disassembled their DV6 for cleaning or to reapply thermal paste before. The disassembling of the DV5 in the video looks similar to our DV6. LOL

HP Cool Sense require HP Support Assistant to work. Try download HP Support Assistant dan install it. Careful, as sometimes the new version HP Support Assistant doesn't work as it intended to be.

if you are in Malaysia, the anti-static bracelet is not a must. You just need to touch some earthen metal from time to time to discharge any built up static electricity especially before touching any sensitive circuit board.

Few things you'll need to prepare before starting:
1. Philips screwdriver, one of it must be a small and long neck type for the keyboard screw removal.
2. Some small cup/container for screws. There are gonna be a lot of screws you'll need to remove. You'll need to separate them into cup for easy identification when you reassemble your laptop.
3. Air conditioning room for sweat will be a major concern.
4. Another operational laptop or desktop for displaying the manual on how to dismantle your DV6 laptop.
5. Cleaning equipment for the fan cleaning.
6. A spare thermal paste.
7. A thin piece of strong metal like nail file for used to separate the parts that were tightly assembled.
8. A camera phone to take picture when thing turns complicated.

Good luck.

Seems like this month have a lot of HP's user having fan problem. Just check out their forum and saw 2 new registered users also having the same problems.
Hardware, Software or Time Bomb?

You can read the Service Manual in this link.
Actually it is still available in Acid's 2nd post in this thread.

Mine can run at 1600Mhz, but it could be due to the processor.

Install back the older version HP Support Assistant should bring the Cool Sense back.

It's time for mine to claim warranty as suddenly my laptop can't start. Suspected either the power adapter or motherboard.

No light at all.

There is ticking sound on the adapter. So far there is no respond from either using adapter or battery. I suspect some capacitor or power mosfet got damaged.
Luckily still have warranty until early June.

Just send my laptop for warranty today. Overall experience at the service center is good. The customer service is well organized.

Keeping my finger cross until I receive back my baby, most probably with it's motherboard exchanged.

Log in to your router and change the Wifi Channel between 1-13.

Do bring a earphone to check the sound connector when you're gonna bring it back. I was having problem with the sound port connector until I have to update to a new driver, then the problem is gone.

Check your power cord:

My fan is also started making noise at starting, but become quiet after a while. Bering problem?

You can try to disable it in the device manager. Right click on the Radeon ™ HDb6770M under the Display Adapter tree.
Before that, you sure you install the right driver?

Click Here

Just fill up the required particular on the website provided.

I don't know how long it required as mine is not involved in this exercise.

It's a button battery, CR2032. Don't know what you mean with two/three pinned.

USB 3.0 is using a specific driver depends on the controller used. Try to reinstall the driver for your laptop.

DO you still have the SWSetup folder in your old Hard Disk. Most of the driver is inside there.

Some, you will know when you open the folder while other is named SP5XXXX. For those with the code SP5XXXX, you can always use Google to find out what driver is that.

About which one to install, I'm not the right person to tell you as I normally will install everything they came with unless it's causing problems.

Edit: BTW, just copy all first and then decide which one you want to install, since the website don't display the drivers anymore...
