Just wanna figure out what is your average battery time and discharge rates (using BatteryCare)
Mine usually lasts about 2:40+ with WiFi on and with headphones on with a discharge rate of about -19.5W. Is that a bit too much? My laptop could've lasted up till at least 3 hours in the olden days (6 months ago lol)
EDIT: Btw, any advice before I go and buy some RAM for my laptop. Looking to expand it to 8GB so planning to buy another 4GB soon. Anything like certain brands or formats that are not compatible or just not good?

Hey there, wondering if any of you have the links to the original Synaptics driver for the touchpad. I updated mine with some version off the Internet and now it doesn't turn itself off when i double tap the upper left part  Can someone also post the link for the fingerprint scanner too? I need to reinstall I think. Everytime I turn on HP Simplepass, it doesn't run and ends in an error but my fingerprints still work, just can't set new ones. EDIT: Ok never mind about the touchpad thing, I reinstalled it and it's all good again. This post has been edited by storky20: Dec 8 2012, 09:26 PM |

Sigh. Laptop resolution stuck at 1024X768 after trying to install Leshcat's 13.1 update. Uninstalling and reinstalling but still doesn't work. Laptop doesn't detect the driver when it's installed >.< EDIT: Whenever I try to launch the Official AMD 13.1 update, they say my laptop does not have a proper graphics adapter  Btw, I'm running a 6c19tx if it makes a difference.

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Feb 26 2013, 10:38 AM) Sorry for being less active nowadays.  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. I used the beta 13.2 on leshcat's site and thankfully that worked for me |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jul 25 2013, 01:27 PM) Just open the back cover.  HAHAHAHa totally didn't realise lol. What's the max limit of RAM on the laptop? Even with 64bit, there's a limit or a point where too much RAM no point right? EDIT: Mmmm not sure if my headpone jack is faulty-ish or not but sometimes when I put in my headphones, only half the audio goes into the headphones and some go out through speakers. It's always on off on off but a lil bit annoying. Any ideas guys? Tried other headphones and they also same case, so I'm definitely suspecting the headphone jack got problem.

Not doing this properly I think. The RAM module won't 'slot' in. It just hangs there.  EDIT: OK never mind. Got it working now  This post has been edited by storky20: Aug 8 2013, 08:39 PM |

QUOTE(joeaggas @ Jan 16 2014, 10:14 AM) Hello everybody. Another year has passed and it's been exactly 2 years 1 month since I've been using the HP DV6-6168TX unit. Unfortunately, until now still unable to find a similar price update model unless I change brand or to a gaming unit. I've replaced the BD drive with a HDD Caddy and internal 2.5" HDD twice due to bad sectors in both WD hard disks. Thankfully now reverted back to Toshiba's 1TB as a secondary storage drive. Dual booting from OCZ SSD. The Question: Has anyone come across HGST Travelstar 5K1500 1.5TB 2.5-Inch Mobile 5400 RPM 9.5mm Internal Bare Hard Disk Drive 0J28001 in Malaysia? Is available via Amazon, but prefer to seek locally due to warranty claim convenience. Would appreciate it if someone has and can share their finding? My 1TB running at 95% now due to VM. May you all have a good week ahead.  Thanks. Well, there is that 15 inch HP Envy model that's been around. The thing about it tho is that there's no optical drive and it looks like a MacBook lol. So I reckon not much modification can go along with it... Price around 3.3-3.6k |

Ok, when gaming/editing/CPU-intensive activities are going on my laptop, my heat starts to really go crazy these few months. And recently can smell like some kind of smell, like I don't know aye. Metal or something?
Is the thermal paste on it pretty much dying?
