HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: internet problems with Virgin Media

I had an HP laptop for about 3 years now.  It used to connect to the internet fine but for 6-8 months, the only way I can connect is by disabling the security password on my hub.  My internet provider says that this is the age of my laptop - is this true?  I love this laptop!

Thanks for your help. A combination of driver download and Virginmedia sending me a new super hub seems to have solved the problem. I can't believe the difference. Thanks again, Angela

  • RALink RT5390r 801,1 1 b/g/n 1 x 1 wifi adapter in a Pavilion dv6 notebook works with WiFi on 5 GHz?

    The card Ralink RT5390r 801,1 1 b/g/n 1 x 1 wifi in a Pavilion dv6 notebook wireless adapter works with WiFi on 5 GHz? I need to change the network card?

    Hello:

    Any card with a bgn suffix is a single 2.4 GHz single band card.

    A card with agn or abgn is a dual band.

    I doubt you will find a dual band compatible to your laptop wireless card.

    The BIOS has a whitelist which hangs in the cards wireless not supported to be installed.

    The service manual may indicate a card dual band for your model, but the part number will be probably wrong.

  • Problem of HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Turtle Beach headphones

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, product number: QJ920AV #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit Service Pack 1

    Hello, I use headphones from Turtle Beach X 12. They are USB headphones that connect both in the port of microhone and another audio port. When I connect everything well, sounds only once through the speakers of my laptop and not the helmet when playing music in Windows Media Player, Youtube, video games, ect.

    How can I get the sounds and the voices of other players and myself to pass only through the headphones?

    My friend who has the same computer has its own pair of X 12 and it has the same problem.

    Acutally, I found the solution! I just had to move some default devices under sound options.

    So when I'm done with them, I need them back each time.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook problems and I know that this is not a virus

    Hello everyone I need help! :[

    Right now I feel "AAAAAAAARGHHH!", because my laptop was bad, since we bought it on Amazon. I got it for everything... 1-2 months (we got it in June) and I had problems really bad-_-"'

    The following events did my hair set on fire:

    Random memory dumps and no explanation for it (it says something like NO INFO DATA or something like that)

    My laptop is so freakin ' hot my legs are close to combustion

    It freezes at startup times and makes me do a difficult start

    It freezes when everything is STABLE!  I move my mouse sometimes and poof! FREEZE ALERT

    It is weird stuff at the beginning up resembling CHKDSK and boot scan, but I'm not so sure...

    So can someone help? Its under the warrantyso I could do maybe deported but I don't really know what is wrong first

    Here is some info:

    Help :/

    your first mistake is to use the laptop on your lap. In the manual it says do not for this. never. Looks like your laptop is random questions causing overheating (probably by something blocking the ventilation openings) with the system board. If it is under warranty. maintenance operation.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: Wireless Device on HP Pavilion Dv6 does not!

    Hello! I'll start with my mobile information system (and please excuse my spelling and language because I am very frustrated at the moment and typing this on a cell phone)

    It's a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with product number - B3K21PA #ABG. Serial number is 2CE2201C96. I have a Broadcom 4313GN 1 x 1 adapter Wi - Fi 802.11b/g/n according to my device manager. I recently chanhed my ISP and the wireless router, they provided is the Linksys E1200 model.

    Now, on the problem - after the use of an extended internet (Skype call or internet games) my laptop just stops giving me access to the internet. And I say it like that because the internet connection icon shows that I have access to the network and internet connection, but none of my software or browsers are able to connect to the internet. This is the first time, she does. I tried updating the driver (both by checking the driver updates and downloading the drivers manually). I also tried system restore and everything I could think off trying to do a factory reset on the whole thing. And I should mention also - although this problem has happened several times now since I changed ISP (and Yes, I called them on this subject too), this currently seems to be permanent, because it has been hours and it still does not.

    Any advice on what may be the problem or that the methods to try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I agree to be only moderately enough when it comes to operating a computer that I am not tech savvy kind, but have been using computers for a while now. For now, my current solution is a fall from my window on the 16th floor and see if that fixes anything. I'm not in my own country and the laptop is old a few years for technical support is hard to find.

    I might be sounding a little passive aggressuve and I apologize for that (I have, however, do not deny these circumstances).

    Thank you for reading through my wall of text of nonsense and condescend to help a poor fellow in his time of need.

    Yours sincerely.

  • Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: I can pass on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (memory, processor, graphics)

    My dv6 became very slow. I am running Windows 10 and now it takes 15-20 minutes to wake him up from his sleep and connect. Ive done a lot of cleanup and optimization, but nothing got better on that. It get very hot very quickly and the fan always seems to be at the top. I'm looking to try to upgrade the memory and perhaps the (quad-core) processor at least if possible, to see if the performance is going to do better. I can hardly do anything on this issue now because it takes too long! I have a 1 TB of HDD installed there a few years and who works well, but everyday navigation, products microsoft office and editing photo/video light from time to time are almost impossible! What memory and processors are compatible with my device that I could look in the upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm new to upgrades of memory and others so I had a bit of a problem of the research/understand exactly what I would like to search! I will post the form below!

    You have a model dv6-3155dx. Here are your specs:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02548013

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 23. Your laptop has the CPU i3 - 370 M and UMA (Intel HD) video so, unfortunately, the processor is not extensible because it is soldered to the motherboard. Put video updated would also require the replacement of the motherboard. CPU upgrades are very difficult and rarely justify financially, in any case, but in your case is not possible at all unless you replace the motherboard, which is even more expensive and less be justified financially. The cost of high end motherboard and CPU and work, you might as well buy a new laptop.

    But all is not lost. The best upgrade, you can do is to install an SSD. You can also switch to 8 GB of RAM. An upgrade will be useful, together, they would be a game-changer.

    You would need 2 x 4 GB modules specified thus:

    Memory module (DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz) - 4096 MB 599092-001

    https://www.Amazon.com/HP-VH641AT-4-GB-DDR3-PC3-10600/DP/B0030L3B8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1472066313 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = 599092-001

    This model is very, very picky about the memory and it must have 8 black blocks on the side, not 4. Also very intolerant of memory not specified in general. Remember that I bound will work. 'How to' on the manual p.60.

    SSDS are a little harder to choose (as many options) and what I need to know is your budget. I recommend at least a concert 500 class SSD and which will cost $120-160. Since you have 10 Windows, it would be easy to download the Microsoft recovery media directly and simply reinstall, then find the drivers and applications and migrate the data. The installation will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the internet. You can also clone the existing content of the new SSD hard drive, but I do not recommend with a facility that is malfunctioning.

    We also probably discuss blowing dust and verification of thermal management in general. A laptop that suddenly becomes very slow, as you describe may have a hard drive problem, too. You need to run diagnostics on the hard drive and also just to check to see if it is full. Drops of performance as a rock if the hard disk reaches 90 percent and more capacity.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Here is the solution!

    Run mssconfig.exe (click the Start button, type msconfig, click msconfig.exe)

    On the STARTUP tab, disable all programs except those required for your computer.

    In my case (HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook) the following programs have been enabled (checked).
    Synaptics Pointing Device Driver<= the="" latptop="" key="">
    IDT Audio of PC<= the="" laptop="" sound="">
    HP CoolSense<= the="" laptop="" temperature="">
    MS Security Client<= microsoft="" security="">
    MS SkyDrive<= microsoft="" on-line="">

    EVERYTHING has been disabled (unchecked)

    Then I restarted the laptop.

    The keyboard problem has been resolved and is been solved!

    I learned from a friend of tech support that all other startup programs no longer of
    grains which are responsible to speed up loading of the program if you want to use.
    Deactivation of these nuclei may be added 1 or 2 seconds of loading time.  And frankly, I
    did not notice any delay at all when I called is no longer in a program that has been pre-loaded.

    Obviously, one of the nuclei was causing the keyboard problem.

    Total time invested; fifteen minutes.

    Better that HP wanted to load to "clean" my laptop at $99!

  • Asio low latency generic Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC XS078EA driver

    Hello! I have a Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC.  Product XS078EA number. I restored the system to its original state with restore disks. After restoring the system, my audio device doesn't have the "generic low latency asio driver" option more. I used this driver with many production music applications like FL studio and Ableton Live, with optimal performance. Now, I can only use Direct Sound drivers, very poor indeed. I already downloaded and installed the latest version of IDT High Definition Audio drivers from the site, with no result. Please, how can get this 'pilot audio generic low latency' for my audio chipset again?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Problem solved installung Nuendo 4, actually the first audio program I installed when I bought the PC. Generic low latency asio driver has been installed by Nuendo. In my view, remains the best driver asio for integrated audio devices.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and noisy fans.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

    Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?
