hp pavilion DV6929WM , this model doesnt come with a bluetooth, i would like to know, is it easy to put a blutooth inside? because really i dont like this kind of externals adapters, and i know hp pavilion some models has bluetooth, is it easy to install?
View 5 RepliesI am using pavilion 15-N 259tx windows 8.1 64 bit. I would like to know if there is any way to easily access / turn my bluetooth ON rather than going to 'pc & devices" and then turning the bluetooth ON.
there is no physical button to turn bluetooth but only the airplane mode... common guys, no one really uses airplane mode daily but bluetooth.
I bought a new notebook, a HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx, everything was going ok, no problems at all, opened the box, charged the battery, formatted with a fresh Win7 installation. No problems so far. However, since the second day of having it, I began to notice an annoying high-pitched noise coming from the top-left area of the notebook.
The noise is not continous, it mostly appears only when I hover over the items in the start or context menus, and other selectable items as well, such as the minimize/maximize/close buttons of the windows. It is also audible when Windows is in the "Please wait... Booting up..." screen and when minimizing/maximizing windows.
Every now and then I will press the power button to boot up my notebook the notebook will start to boot but the display will not work. After maybe 10 seconds it'll restart and keep restarting but each interval the notebook is on gets shorter so that I may press the button to power it on but it won't stay on more than a second (the notebook is already plugged into an outlet).
Of course, this happens occasionally and so far I haven't dug up anything that could explain the reason why it does this. I do have an nVidia graphics card in there but I don't know whether that would truly be the cause of it.
I was doing uninstall some programs that I never use anymore and found HP Easy Setup - Core I dont know what is it for and unable to uninstall it...something prevent it?

-Moonlight white
-Vista 64bit
-P8600 2.4Ghz or I can up it to the P8700 2.53Ghz
-4 GB Ram
-320 GB Hard Drive 5400 RPM

-14.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) LED for better battery life.
-Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card with Bluetooth
-High Capacity 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
I was wondering what you all think about this set up, or if I should tweak anything with like the processor.
Also how does this laptop run in your experience. Hot or loud? What does it score on performance index with these specs if anyone has them? Are there any concerns I should know about or tips. Like does the optical drive pull out if not using to save weight or add another hard drive? Maybe even steer me to another direction if you would like.
Also I have never owned a laptop before, but my friends use an external monitor when home. What do you all think about getting one?
This laptop will be for everything, school, entertainment, causal games.
what is the max RAM it can handle, second, how do i convince 3 little sisters they need to remove the dust bunnies from the inside of their laptop? (dv2000)

First you need to download service manual and read it. All the instructions are there for how to dissemble the notebook. Following pictures might help you to understand service manual.
Things you need to unplug before remove the top panel
Things you need to unplug/unscrew before remove heatsinks
Here's the CPU picture without heatsink

Cleaned GPU heatsink
I use white cotton cloth and alcohol to clean the CPU/GPU and heatsink(s) and use AS5 as a thermal paste. CPU/GPU temp drop nearly 4C-5C. I need to wait until AS5 settle down.
I'm expecting another 2C drop after that.
Alright, my CPU is idling at 75c and my GPU is at 80c, I've opened up my M170 and It didnt seem dusty at all, so I went out and bought a small tube of AC5 which people say will help.
Now the problem Is I have no idea where to apply it, or how much is needed. I dont really know anything about hardware components, so If anyone has any pics which could show me where and how much to apply that would great.
The M170 is currently in peices at my desk and Im typing this on a MacBook, and I really dont want to spend anymore time on the OSX than I have to.
I already undervolted my computer which did help, but the fan is so weak now that I feel i need to do everything possible to keep it from overheating. Does anybody have an extensive guide on applying thermal paste?
I really need to do this. I am pretty noob at computer hardware, So i would need a guide that would even tell me how to take apart my entire case/etc... I am sorta running out of options.
Heat issue has been a major issue to most of the SXPS 16 owners. Most users have replaced their Thermal Compounds but when some didn't get the expected results they tried different ways to apply the Paste.
I welcome all the owners of StudioXPS 16(1640,1645,1647) to gather together in this thread and tell the experience y'all had and which way of applying the paste on individual GPU and CPU worked for y'all and which Thermal Compound y'all used.
Also provide the CPU and GPU temp before and after the thermal compound replacement.
Under Control Panel, Sound, Speakers and Headphones Properties, Tone Controls Tab, the Apply Button is grayed out for my Bass/Treble settings which reset to 4 every time my PC restarts if I change them. I cannot set the Bass/Treble levels permanently where I want them (Bass - 4 and Treble - 0) because the Apply Button does not work. I have two identical models of this PC with the same problem - both HP Pavilion dv6-7138us with Beats Audio and AMD cpu. Can the Apply Button be fixed? The Beats Audio Control GUI (also in Control Panel) has Bass and Treble settings that remain where set.Perhaps Beats is overriding Sound in Control Panel? I have a boxed Windows 7 32-bit installed on another PC and Sound has different control options - no Beats Audio. I would think if Beats modifies Sound controls in Control Panel, those controls should work. Otherwise, the modified Sound controls would not be there unless they are there in case Beats Audio is uninstalled or disabled? I see no way to uninstall or disable and have no desire to uninstall. IDT Audio is listed in Programs and Features.

This guide is made based on an Acer Aspire 5315, but will probably work on other machines with a hidden eisa rescue partition.
This is for everyone who has got problems unhiding and accessing the hidden rescue partition, and have tried all the methods with d2d disabling and changing partition type, perhaps with partedit32 or ptedit32, only to find out that nothing has happened after rebooting.
Download and install "Diskpart" from Microsoft, a small but powerful textbased utility, the link below is a direct download:
[url]
Here's the step by step to succeed...
Press "win + r" to bring up the run window
Type: "cmd", to bring up the command window
Type: "diskpart", a new command window pops up with a "Diskpart >" prompt
Type: "rescan", a configuration check runs
Type: "list disk", a list of the availible disks appears
Type: "select disk 0", if your hidden partition resides on that disk of course
Type: "list partition", to find out with partition is your hidden one (probably about 10 gb and without name).......................
I have an Acer Aspire 6930 and it has the easy launch button for the Arcade Utility. I can not get it to launch and I do not see it in the programs. How can I tell if I have the Arcade Utility or not even though the button is there? The WLAN and internet buttons work but not the bluetooth or arcade ones. I'v not found any answers on the web.

Okay so i probaly have the weirdest problem ever with this laptop, so the issue started when the display stopped working properly and would only work at a certain angle or when u would apply slight pressure on a certain part of the screen, faulty monitor correct?wrong. When i uninstalled the intel gpu drivers and reverted back to the standard microsoft display adapter all these problems disappeared, screen would work at all angles and the display would have no issues, so that sums out the possibility of the monitor being faulty. The display starts having these issues everytime the intel display drivers are installed, it just blows my mind how this is even a thing. The screen flickers twice and turns off after windows is done booting when the intel drivers are installed and works perfectly without them.

it's really frustrating me. When I download/save something to desktop, Windows will find an area to save on the desktop. However, I recently noticed that Vista sometimes save the file in the very bottom of the desktop and behind the taskbar. So the file is hidden behind taskbar.
From my understanding, taskbar must be on TOP of everything. See attachment so you guys can understand better.

I recently got Mac mini thru Microcenter deal for $399. It is previous generation Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz Mac mini with 1GB RAM + 120GB HDD + Superdirve. It comes with iLife 08. I'm thinking of buying Mac Box set to get ilife 09 + iWork09 (figured this would be cheaper than getting them separate). Does anyone know what comes inside box ? I already have 10.5.6 installed on Mini so dont need that. Will I be able to sell OS X 10.5.6 from Mac Box set and reduce my cost or all comes on one disc and within one package instead of 3 separate boxes withing one box.

Let me first start by asking your forgiveness if I have stuffed this quick little guide in the wrong spot. I spent a rather brief 10 minutes searching this forum, and I don't believe I am repeating a write-up someone has already done that follows this simple method. If I am incorrect, I ask a moderator to please place this post in its proper home. As you can see, I am not an avid poster here, and I really don't want to be slammed for not searching with enough gusto, etc.
Alright, on to the quick 'n easy...
I have a new VGN-AW235J, so proceed with courage and fortitude if our letters don't match. I found this as I was trying various ways to cleanse this beautiful machine of it's bloatware. It worked for me, and that is all I will claim.
This method requires that you create the restore DVDs.
If you don't have a handful of restore DVDs, go do that now and come back...and while you're up, bring a snack.
One more disclaimer: I didn't take the greatest notes while doing this, so my instructions may be sufficiently vague to cause minor trepidation on the part of the reader. With that being said, each step should be fairly obvious while in front of your machine...DVDs in hand..........................

However the screen seems to be slightly off center? What I am talking about is inside the "edge to edge glass", the screen (the pixels you see lit up), is just ever so slightly tilted.
The pixels start about a 1mm (or maybe 0.5mm) lower on the top left corner of the screen than the top right.
I have been pondering whether my Studio 1537 came with a LED backlit screen since Dell didn't include a Centrino 2 sticker although all of my laptop hardware meets the req. for Centrino 2. Who knew what else Dell could pull?
I decided to fire up my Studio 1537, Inspiron E1505, and Mini 9 to do a comparison with the LCD backlight on full power with Notepad maximized (lots of white).
The E1505's LCD was about a year old and is CCFL. The Mini 9 and Studio 15 are brand new and both were advertised to have LED backlighting.
The E1505 looked dim and yellow compared to the Studio 15's CRISP white color, while the Mini 9 had an almost purple tint to the white screen. I work with white light a lot and can say the E1505's LG CCFL was around 4000-4300K for color temperature while the Studio 15 was more around 5800K and the Mini 9 at 6200K or slightly higher.
The problem with white LED's is that they have a shorter lifespan (~20,000 hours) compared to red, blue, and green (usually 100,000 hours). This translates to noticeable decrease in white light output after 2.3 years of non-stop 24/7 usage.
Another major difference I observed is that the CCFL at max brightness is equivalent to the LEDs at about 40-50% brightness!
I went to Best Buy to look at a Studio 15 model. I noticed the surface around the mousepad where you rest your wrists....
It was warm and it felt really soft...almost a bit sticky soft. Is that because of the clear finish? I'd rather have a smooth surface than a soft sticky one.
Could this have been an anomily or would my model be like this if I bought one?
