HP/Compaq :: Dv6z Volume Too Low
Nov 30, 2009HP Pavilion dv6 - volume too low
Anyways I have the IDT Control Panel installed with all the drivers up to date but with the volume turned all the way up I can barely hear anything from the laptop speakers, if I plug in headphones they work fine but the speakers barely put out sound.
Model: HP DV6Z CTO
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (updated drivers from hp's site).
I tried the suggestion regarding installing realtek driver's but my laptop bsod'd and I haven't tried anything since (couldn't think of anything).
The green volume bar barely goes up when I do stuff such as watch video's online (doesen't even reach 1/4th of the way up) while the volume is turned all the way up.
HP/Compaq :: AMD Dv6z Processor Same As
Aug 25, 2009I was looking at some AMD processors for an HP dv6z and wanted to know what does the:
"AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-85 (2.3GHz, 2MB L2 Cache)"
equal to in performance to a intel core 2 duo processor? T6500 ?
HP/Compaq :: Dv5tse And Dv6z
May 8, 2009I'm looking at buying one of these laptops from HP's website. I have a question about them though. The dv5tse has an Intel processor and an Intel 4500 integrated graphics card whereas the dv6z has AMD processor and ATI Radeon integrated graphics card or ATI 512MB and 1GB dedicated graphics card. Which one of these combinations is better: Intel, Intel or AMD, ATI? There will be no gaming on this computer. It will be strictly Blu-Ray movies, school work, web, music etc.

Also, does it have space to let you add a secondary hard drive?

But I have no clue if the insides are as good as it looks outside.

HP/Compaq :: New DV6z, Suspect Temperatures
Jul 21, 2009Having just got rid of a dv2104eu, i just got a dv6-1131ea, which is hitting 50-60 when idle, i just fired sims 3 up and it hit 85? Is this normal for a turion RM-75 on it's first day or should I send it back to HP for excess heat?
It doesn't fill me with confidence after my last experience with AMD. The intel DV6799ea with a t8100 is cooler under load than this new baby is when it's idling!
Is it just the way AMD is, or something wrong with my laptop?
HP/Compaq :: How Many Pins Is The Dv6z Firewire Port
Sep 11, 2009I want to transfer some old DV tapes to DVDs through an old JVC mini-DV camcorder with a DV/4-pin firewire connection but I do not know how many pins the firewire port on my laptop is. I was under the impression that all notebooks used a 4-pin connection, and it looks like it is 4 pins, but the connector pin assignments section of the user manual lists it as 6 pins.

Oct 2, 2014One day my computer was real slow so i decided to factory restore my notebook, so i did. But ever since after that, i no longer can use my wifi for internet access. The only way i can connect to internet now is by ethernet cable. I called HP Support and they said i was missing a driver , since im sure i can just download what i need online for free on the HP site.
Â
So, The bottom right icon shows a computer with a X on it. My F12 key is on with a blue light lid up.  When i go to HP Connection Manager it says Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) Disabled by Device Manager. When i go into Device Manager > Network Adapters, all the drivers i see are these three
"Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)"
"Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI"
"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller #2"
This is all i see. Am i missing any other drivers?

HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion DV5
May 23, 2009I have a Pavilion dv5-1203ax with AMD Turion X2 and ATi Mbility Radeon HD 3450.
I have a strange issue.. the system stops charging the battery at anytime...sometimes it charges the battery properly and other time it stops at 40 % , 50 % , 90 % etc.
The battery charges to 100 % normally when Windows is off and power suply is left on...
I changed the battery but the problem still exists
While the battery charges... HP Battery Check show Good when it does not, the battery check shows Replace...
I've formatted the system and tried Vista twice and Windows 7 also and recaliberated the battery but to no success...
Is it the motherboard...
HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion Dv2
Apr 1, 2009I'm currently looking into buying a new ultraportable laptop or netbook and this notebook looks like it fits my needs perfectly. My old 15.4" laptop is starting to show it's age and is becoming a pain to lug around campus all day. Plus the battery life is starting to decrease to under 1:30 hours..
Is there any word when this notebook will be available? I read that it's going to be sometime this month. How much will it be with the external DVD or Blu-ray drive? And are there going to be any other battery options other than the standard 4-cell? I'm probably only willing to purchase this notebook if it gets 4-5+ hours of battery life.. so how long do you think it will last?

Jan 30, 2009despite the fact that it can only use 3 of its 4 gigs of RAM, I still love my new DV5.
There's only one, tiny kink...
It's getting hot. Very hot. My hands aren't burning, but I can feel the heat in my palms.
Speedfan readings:
Core 0: Average temperature's around 47C
Core 1: Avg. Temp. is 49C
GPU: Here's the real problem. IT'S ON FREAKING 54C!!!
These temperatures are bloody DANGEROUS. And I'm going to be using this for gaming.

Sep 8, 2009I have just seen this HP laptop on www.play.com and it looks pretty amazing! It's up for pre-order coming out on Friday and is £599, here are its specs:
Processor: AMD Turion X2 mobile processor RM-75 / 2.2 GHz
Memory: 4GB
HD Capacity: 320GB
Display: 15.6"
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 - 1GB
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
Dimensions (WxDxH): 37.9 cm x 25.8 cm x 4.1 cm
Weight: 2.9 kg

The only thing that stops me from just pre-ordering this laptop is the fact it hasn't been released yet and so there aren't any reviews saying whether it's good or bad that and that I have never used AMD instead of Intel and the last ATI graphics card I had was shocking to say the least. What do you guys think? Are HP laptops good, reliable etc and are these specs that great?
HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion DV4 1225ee
Feb 8, 2009I bought the laptop two days ago and it seems an excellent laptop.
I had some problems with creating system recovery Dvd, but eventually i recognized that the problem was in the type of dvd i used. I changed the type of dvd and created the system recovery discs, and everything is working quite well!
I'd be very glad to keep in touch with all those who purchased this series.

HP/Compaq :: Reviving An Old Pavilion
May 6, 2010My Pavilion dv8333ea's (specs here) GPU died the other day
It was getting old (3.5 years) but I'd never had a problem with it before and aside from the GPU it still works fine (except the screen looks like it may have been programmed by Picasso (random pixels everywhere!).
If this were any other laptop, I'd just replace it, but there was something special about this one: It had a firewire port with a Texas Instruments chipset (this is the Holy Grail of firewire audio recording). Plus, it genuinely was a good laptop

Aug 27, 2009about the dv6-1268nr that Newegg is selling for $800. I am looking for an affordable, pre-built laptop to replace my busted Studio 1555 and this really caught my eye. The only thing that is holding me back right now is I have some experience with AMD processors and they tend to have heat issues. The reviews on Newegg also say this but they don't seem like expert reviews.
The only reason I created a new topic is because the dv6 thread has basically been dead since the HDX 16 came out.
HP/Compaq :: Pavilion DV5- RAM Compatibility
Jan 30, 2009It's pretty nicely specced out, but I won't go over the details, since the GPU and processor have nothing to do with it.
It comes with 4GB of DDR2 RAM, but it's only running a 32-bit OS (or so the box says). Does that mean that only 3GB will be used?
if it does have a 64-bit version of Vista, there's another problem. My backup for my old system was for Vista 32-bit. Will this cause problems on a 64-bit OS? Microsoft support says that some models may face problems when running 32-bit backups on a 64-bit OS, but is this one of them?
HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion 5228TX
May 27, 2009when I brought out my old HP dv5228TX laptop for a 3 month trip. When i brought it with me, the power cord was already burnt through around the adaptor so i bought a new one immediately. The problem is, i kept getting blue screen of death whenever i do ANYTHING in windows, which was a major annoyance. I thought it might have been the CD-ROM that was beginning to be faulty or dying so i disabled it in hardware manager. When the BSODs wouldn't go away, i thought it might have been a memory hardware problem. I set out to find 1gb ddr2 memory (2 of them) but since they were 45$ each, i thought i might as well wait until my trip to taiwan before i hastily bought it here (since taiwan has cheaper hardware).
Now previously i had owned a NuSlim MOBILE disk case so that i can take out the harddrive in my HP pavilion laptop to access the files in case the computer itself failed. So when the Blue screen of death wouldn't go away, I decided to use the NuSlim mobile disk to store my HP hard drive and use it on my HP Presario B1900 laptop as a USB Drive. I searched on the internet and learned that you can boot directly from a USB drive. When i decided to boot from my "hp pavilion hard drive" the USB way, a MBR error popped up. Which meant that the hard disc itself had a bad master boot sector. This was a slap in the face because my Blue screen of death could have been all attributed to a corrupted hard drive. When i discovered this, I immediately tried to put my harddrive back into my HP pavilion so that i can run recovery manager directly via F11 at startup.
Now here is my problem! Not only does it not let me go into recovery manager at all at start up when i press F11, windows does not even boot. The weird thing is, when I put the harddrive into the NuSlim mobile disk, all the files works (including the recovery partition).
Is it possible to reformat my entire hard drive back to factory condition since the recovery partition is techinically there? It just won't let me enter it possibly due to bad master boot sector. I even tried to access the recovery partition itself through the USB via my HP presario. Is it also possible to create a recovery disc if i have access to this recovery partition even though booting it from the HP pavilion itself doesn't seem to work? Please help as soon as possible because i do not wish to purchase a recovery disc from HP since i do not have warranty anymore (and since i have the recovery partition anyway). the OS i'm using is Windows XP and i tried looking on the HP website for the recovery order form but apparently they dont have it. I do not wish to purchase the Vista recovery disc since my HP pavilion is only 1gb and it will not run well on vista.

Jun 8, 2009I forgot my power-up password. How can I reset it. Called Hp and they want my first born for a laptop that is a number of years old. Nephew had similar problem with a Dell and we were able to prove over the phone that we were the original owner and they supplied a master password. HP will not do the same with their product.

HP/Compaq :: Pavilion Dv4-1225dx HDD
Dec 24, 2009A friend of mine has a Pavilion dv4-1225dx notebook and spilled some wine that according to him hardly hit the laptop, but something happened as it doesn't want to work anymore.
He called HP and the notebook was shipped to them, then he got a call and they told him that the warranty was void as there was liquid damage.
I took the thing, put it my Vista DVD from my Dell and it did start up, but just before it wanted to install it couldn't find the hard drive and asked me for a driver I don't have. I did download all the drivers from the HP support site but I'm not sure if that driver was even there. Nothing of what I downloaded worked.
Ran the memory and hard drive test and hard drive test failed. Replaced the hard drive with a new one that was already formatted and ran the test again. At least this time it did see a hard drive, though the test failed again and it gave me some error code (think it was 10008).
Could this be a driver issue or might it be the mother board? I don't think it's worth putting a lot of money in the notebook but if it's a driver issue I'd try to fix it.
Basically I don't even get to the point where I could install Windows as it seems to be unable to address the hard drive.

HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion Dv 7, Heat
Aug 4, 2009I got a HP Pavilion Dv7 not to long ago, about six months to be exact...
Anyways, it used to be fine for heat but as of late, it idles at around 70 C for the dual cores and GPU...it's beginning to worry me a bit because when i play games they can reach temperatures of 90 C.
By the way, I have the most recent Bios update and I have cleaned the vents too. Something worth noting though is that when I bought this laptop it was the only one left, which was the display unit, do you reckon that it may have had wear and tear due to this already?
