HP dv6 prod. #a1u60av 2 years

When I update my wireless drivers, they last not but a day or two. Can you help me.    Thanks bg patterson

Hi @billygpatterson

I know I asked this in a previous post, please report the number of full product and the version of the OS for your laptop. Please see the following documents if you need help to find those. When I checked the product number you have included there came a series of servers.
How can I find my model number or product number?
Is the Version of Windows on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

  • DV6-7002tx B0P07PA Windows 8.1 official support, list of drivers

    Hello, I own a B0P07PA dv6-7002tx for a year and a half, running windows 8.1, but I have a few questions, wifi is not always properly started during boot, HD4000 drivers aren't perfect either, I have the problem of video shift under Firefox.

    Worse still, Windows 8.1 released for awhile now, and there is still no word from HP on the official for Windows 8.1 support, nor the list of updated drivers for a quad core I7 edition Ivy bridge, it's a bit difficult to understand that there is no list of official drivers released yet, essentially playing with some forums to try to get the work of the other models of HP drivers , but it is far from ideal.

    Could we please get a list of updated drivers (some drivers are dated from 2012 and we turned to 2014).

    I even had a problem with the update Windows 8.1 on HD4000 since my laptop starts with a blankscreen, had to return to the odler driver to be able to start. It's something that I understand myself being advanced user, but how many customers is left aside without a list of appropriate, drivers who is tested and tested by HP, Windows 8.1 RC was released over 6 months ago, 8.1 to Windows itself has published about 3 months ago and still nothing updated.
    With the update for Windows 8.1 is free for users of Windows 8, and for a list of Windows 8 official but outdated drivers exists on the page of official support for this laptop, all hope that a such high end laptop becomes the proper drivers update it deserves?

  • reset the factory default DV6 hp pavilion

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6 aged of 5 years I want to restore factory settings in order to give to my nephew.

    I either lost or never done a system recovery disks. The computer did not come with recovery discs.

    The computer came pre-installed with Vista. However I've since upgraded to Win7 with the free update that was offered to me at the time of purchase.  There is a recovery D: drive / partition on the computer.  However, when I try to perform a system restore, restore HP cannot find the recovery D: partition, nor make an option to select.  How can I reset this computer to the factory settings? Even if he comes back to Vista, what would be good, and then I could use the Win7 upgrade disk to return to 7.  I just need to reset everything back to default values, and none of the normal methods of recovery work.  PLEASE NOTIFY.

    Yet once again, giving us the full model name and product number (p/n) of the computer in question, will make it easier for help us to you.

    As CherylG pointed out... If you are going to install the Windows 7 upgrade, do first and you won't have to worry about the IE8 on Vista issue. You may need to put Vista SP1 before upgrading to Windows 7.

    If you intend to keep Vista on the computer, you may need to install SP1 or SP2 before installing IE8. The service packs may not show in Windows Update until the other updates have been installed.

    MSE even requires that you use a minimum of Vista SP1 before it will install.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 (3040sl) - RAM not detected

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop RAM Detection. I had my dv6 for almost 3 years. Never had any problems.

    Recently, I realized the performance became worse and worse and could not understand the reason.

    Almost by chance today I have real system says is have 2 GB of RAM instead of my usual 4 GB (has always been 4 GB).

    Nothing has changed in my pc. No major updates or anything. Does this mean that my RAM is broken? Or can we the mobo RAM slot?

    I opened the pc and the two Rams (2 GB x 2) seems ok for me. Not sure what I should do then.

    Try removing and reinstalling the memory. Also you can do a memory disk (CD or thumb drive) to test and run memtest86 to check and see if one of the modules is bad. You can also replace the modules into the two slots that need to diagnose if one of the slots is bad. If it shows 2 concerts or combining then two modules are good but a slot is bad. In last resort you can try to clean the gold leads modules very gently with a clean cloth and blowing the memory locations to see if, perhaps, dust arrived and does not have a good connection.

  • Dv6-6195 Windows 8 drivers

    I bought and HP DV6-6195 ca last year. I took it because of the good video card, mat, HD screen and fingerprint reader.

    I have been using windows 7, but at the University, they gave us Windows 8 free through MSDNAA subscription.

    I've been going to support me with a lot of pilots and gear as they always have for my hundreds of little things in HP that I owned before thinking HP... (touchpad, mouse, printers, scanners, IPaq, palm, phones, etc... "I'm an enthousiast HP!)

    Now:

    -the card Radeon HD6770 does not work

    -the fingerprint reader does not work (so sad!)

    -If the Beats audio software is installed, the audio is flat no bass...

    -the sense of cooling is not functional... (fan makes noise!)

    -switching graphics is now impossible.

    I develop electronic hardware on this computer, I really need to make it work properly. It's my toolbox for my classes. I can't live without beats (Ha ha), but not with Altium Designer crashing because the invalid video card drivers. Now, I'm really angry...

    They launched windows drivers on the AMD Web site, 8, but when installing, it says that I have a invalid system and that I should think about the manufacturer. I would contact HP, but their warranty went of 1 month and a half...

    If you really want to replace parts of the envelope and don't mind DIY replacement you can use the HP PartSurfer for your region of the world. There is no guarantee that the parts are still manufactured that your model is no longer in production.

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/

    Find a spare battery is a matter of searching online and depends on what region of the world you live. I found some for you in the links below. I don't would not sink my money into a laptop damaged. It is, of course, your money and your choice.

  • order a recovery disc for pavilion dv6-3090tx

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6-3090TX about 2 years. A few months back my laptop froze and wouldn't restart normally. I wiped the hard drive and installed a version on the theme of windows 7 (30 days activation is already passed) so I can continue to use it (in the middle of my Uni term) because I didn't have the original Windows 7 disc that was used to install on my laptop. A few days ago, my battery is dead (no longer charges-warning about replacing the battery keeps popping up) and I think it's because of the incompatibility between the os and the hardware. I want to order recovery disks for my laptop to prevent other problems like this happen and hope you re - install windows 7 Home premium that came with it originally.

    Question 1-will it re - install all the parameters, including standard factory programs and the OS (windows 7)?

    Question 2-if my warranty has expired, can I pay and how much?

    I'm in new Zealnd, if it helps.

    Appreciate any help I can get this,

    See you soon.

    Thanks a lot for the post, but I chose to ring a number 0800 NZ and he ordered on the phone I found on the forum. (5-7 work days to arrive I hope so!) But your adivice I'll keep for future reference should something else happens :-|.

    I appreciate the help, and thanks again.

  • DV6-6125sl: turn off turbocore

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6 6125sl bought the year last with processor AMD A6 3410mx

    I want to disable Turbocore so it does not work beyond 1.6 GHz (currently, it reaches 2, 3 GHz as they perform intensive tasks) to reduce heat output. I don't need the extra speed so I trade it for lower intensity and a quieter fan.

    Is there a way to turn it off permanently? In the BIOS of my computer I saw an opportunity to do.

    Hello

    If you want to disable the turbocore you must install application AOD (if it is not already installed).

    This can be downloaded from the site Web of AMD.

    http://sites.AMD.com/us/game/downloads/AMD-Overdrive/pages/overview.aspx

    ONEC you have installed follow the steps below and which should help you.

    First go to AOD, preferences and switch to advanced mode.

    Next is to disable the Cool calm & who controls is being the green dot in the corner. When the point has a red outline C & Q is off and also hit apply after this step. Then go to the tab control performance and you should see the box in the lower left green test that says Turbo Core control. Until it clicks. Then, you can see the check mark next to Turbo core near the top of the window that pops up just make sure the cheque is not there then press ok and press window main OD applies and you should be good.

    It will be useful.

    Hi guys,.

    I'd love to help I bought a HP DV6-3042TX about a year and half ago.  I hadn't used for a while and when I turned it on, he had to do updates etc. for windows 7.  These all downloaded and installed.  However after they have installed I couldn't restart my computer.

    Hard drive 1

    This mean that my hard drive is actually dead and replacement needs? If so is anyway to recover my files and what model of hard drive can I replace it with?

    Any help would be great

    Thank you

    Hello

    The drive Self Test (DST) short error seems to indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.

    Regarding your existing files, a possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is following the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can run from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    Replacing the hard drive is a fairly simple procedure.

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive for laptop.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see here for more details.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • is it safe to keep the power adapter plugged into laptop all the time?

    I was constantly using a laptop Pavilion DV6-1230 we 5 years almost always with the power adapter is plugged in. I replaced the battery once. I was told yesterday that this isn't a good idea, because it can lead to a shorter battery hardware and life issues. We buy a new computer and want to know what is the recommended method for the use of current alternative with a laptop. Is always connected OK? Or we stop the computer at the end of the day? The power plug must be removed from the plug?  Appreciate the suggestions and recommendations on best practices in this case.

    Hello:

    It is not a good idea to leave the power cable connected with the battery in the PC.

    You should disconnect the power supply at least once a month even if you move the laptop, run Notepad as needed and let the battery drain down until you get the low battery warning.

    Then load it up.

    Here is a useful guide of HP to prolong the battery life...

    How can I determine what fan I need to order for a Pavillion DV6 age of 4 years. Fan is wearing out I think. He snores and hums, but if I hit the computer it stops for awhile. Sounds very mechanical.

    I'd rather do not disassemble the laptop until I have the replacement in hand.

    We cannot say because we do not know what is your Pavilion DV6.  Please follow the instructions below to find the product/model of your machine:

    Normally, you can use the product/model of your machine and look for Maintenance and Service of Guide or party store. No product/code number, impossible to get the right part.

  • Speakers only work for Skype

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavillion DV6, he is three years old and I have a sort of audio problem. A year ago, my PC speakers apparently stopped working after I removed a headphone port. I did some reading and some information on what I thought was the issue. Apparently, there's a kind of switch inside the outlet helmet that indicates if there is a taken or not and if we read that there is a plug in there do not play on the speakers. It seemed that he was stuck in the position "there are headphones", so he never plays on the speakers. He don't play through headphones or speakers external, connected to the port, but not through the computer speakers.
    Now it becomes weird. I have Skyped with one of my friends last night, the first time in more than a year using Skype. I was going to plug in my headset when I realized there was sound out of the speakers! I did not understand it! I tried again and his is not out if I play videos or music, but if I try to Skype with someone it works.
    Any thoughts? I'm completely stumped.
    Best,
    Tom

    Hi Thomas,

    It looks like the audio/out becomes disabled when you plug in the headphones. We will perform some troubleshooting steps and try to resolve the issue.

    • Make sure that your speakers are properly connected to your computer.
       
    • Many computers have taken three or more who connect to a sound card or sound processor, including a jack for microphone, line-in jack and line-out. Your speakers should be plugged into the line-out socket. If you don't know what it is, try plugging your speakers to each of the jacks to see if any of them produce the sound.
    • In some cases, you can work around the problem by disabling optional speaker effects that are known as improvements. If the disabling effects speaker resolves the problem, you may need to update your audio driver.

    You can run the audio Troubleshooter and update the driver by visiting the site of computer manufacturer.
