QUOTE(Twinchest @ May 5 2007, 02:44 PM) Well, for me, it is better to stick to window xp for now until Vista really stable with all the compatibility issue being rectified. Like me, I have winxp MCE but at the same time has the free Upgrade of Windows Vista Premium. I've tried both, and compatibility wise, i would recommend XP still. You can ask the person from HP to let u install XP instead of Vista. Good LUck~! really? it's possible to let them install XP? coz when i asked the shop they said that i have to do it on my own!   :plus i heard that the notebook wont come along with the recovery cd, instead they put the recovery things in a separate partition?  troublesome~~ what is HP thinking!  |

ermm but the shop is hp authorised reseller coz i found the shop on hp website..
don't mind the recovery on the HD but i prefer to keep another copy in a dvd and i heard from a friend not sure if it's true.. the bios for vista and xp is different? so if i want to use xp do i have to flash the bios too?? |

yeay! i've ordered my hp dv6227tx, should arrive sometime tomorrow hehe can't wait..
 i didn't downgrade it to xp though.. i think i'll try the vista first and if i'm not satisfied with it i'll just reformat it to xp  it is possible to reformat it to xp rite? but is the driver provided can be used for xp? do i have to change any setting before reformatting it?  |

i've tried recording a video but there seems to be no problem with it.
i use quickplay to record it. owh wait.. i just notice something weird when i check my webcam driver... in my device manager there are 2 items under 'Imaging Devices' in the device manager one of it is the HP Pavillion Webcam with a yellow exclamation mark on it and the other one is USB video device that's weird.. i wonder how it got to be there o_0 and it seems as if i'm not using hp default driver for my webcam.. how can that be?? i'm confused.... well anyway.. maybe your problem has something to do with the webcam driver?? btw.. what's the operating system u're using? vista? xp? you might want to check out this thread in HP support forum http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/...hreadId=1127735 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by descendant: Jun 23 2007, 04:33 PM |

yup mine is also around that temperature without using the notebook cooler
and if i don't use the cooler and plays high resolution videos the temperature can get really high and sometimes my laptop turns off suddenly does anyone else has this weird high pitch sound problem on the left side of the notebook especially when running on batteries? the sound is bugging me i had enough of this notebook, first it's the dvd burner and now this i'm going to buy a new notebook and it's not going to be HP!  edit: okay i take back my word the new hp dv5t looks very tempting to me  This post has been edited by descendant: Nov 2 2008, 05:57 PM |

QUOTE(catsper @ Nov 2 2008, 08:45 PM) Wow, surprise to see this thread still exist. I faced problem on the optical drive and got it changed with a Optirac brand one. No problem so far. how much does it cost you to change the optical drive??Heat mainly from hard disk on the left palm rest area. So far so good for a 2 year 6126TX. i'm thinking of changing it too as for the heat .. i think everyone using this model faces the same problem too, i'm hoping that using a better notebook cooler can solve that problem i heard good reviews bout zalman, can anyone using this notebook with the zalman cooler give some feedbacks?? QUOTE(trox @ Nov 8 2008, 12:50 PM) the high pitch sound is apperently a signature for dv6000 yeah i've heard bout off-ing it in the bios and i did see the option in the bios, never tried it yet though , solution is off-ing c4 in bios, i have nvr try it myselfmy temperature is settling down now, around 55-57 for gpu, was at 60 after i got it from servicing, ask them to put my own thermalpaste and ditch the bubblgum thing and with a wood supporting at the back im getting 53 gpu and 40 proc.... my burner still doing fine tho  where did you service your notebook and how much does it cost?? i think i need to service mine too and get the notebook fan clean out i've seen tutorials on how to open the casing on notebookreview but i don't have the confidence to do it myself without damaging my notebook |

lol I can't believe I'm still using this laptop
first main problem is overheating I took it apart, clean the fan and change the thermal paste now it's working good next problem is the DVD drive which won't read and burn DVDs solved this one too took apart the DVD drive and smear some WD40 to the 2 steel that support the moving laser head problem solved! but if I have the money.. I won't think twice to dump this lappy  |
