HP Pavilion dv6-6b50sa notebook - Fan problems

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit
BIOS version: F.19 05-2012
The fan on my laptop failed earlier during the year and was replaced with a new unit. However since then the fan seems not to run fast enough in response to increased loads on the cpu and GPU. For instance previously when starting a video game the fan would instantly kick up to a higher speed and remain there, cooling the laptop sufficiently. Now the fan will often take a lot longer to get up to speed, and with some games simply refuses to go beyond normal idling speeds even as the temperature increases.
Any help with this? I'm not sure if its a hardware or software issue. When I am back home again I will be replacing the fan with another new one to see. Tried updating the BIOS, have also installed HP coolsense and cleaned out the fan to no avail.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks
Michal

[HELP] HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa fan - abnormal whirring and grinding noises even after replacement

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit
BIOS version: F.1 C (current) 01-2013
My laptop fan started making a very loud grinding and whirring noise constantly (very loud, easily heard in other rooms from the laptop) and after cleaning out with compressed air with no improvement I decided to get the fan replaced as it was clearly worn out in some way. (This laptop fan has always been loud, but never making this sort of grinding sound).
Replacement fan was ordered directly from HP and installed. However, while the noise is much quieter, the fan is still making a constant sort of whirring/very low grinding noise which gets louder and changes pitch whenever the fan kicks up to a higher speed. While the laptop is now at least useable, this noise is still annoying after being on for a long time and I did not expect it to still have the same problem after fully replacing the fan.
Since then I have looked online for solutions and similar problems, having since flashed the BIOS to the latest version, checked both the hard drive and memory in the BIOS (both proved fine) and tried switching between having the fan mode set to always on or not always on in the BIOS and messing around with HP coolsense. None of these have helped remove this constant whirring sound.
Now this laptop fan has always been loud. That I am ok with, I know the sound of a loud, yet working fan drawing air, but this is not the same sound. The fan is still drawing air sufficiently and keeping the system temperature down to an acceptable level, but this constant whirring noise is annoying when having to work on the laptop.
[In Summary]
-HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa Laptop fan had loud whirring/grinding noise
-Fan was replaced
-Noise reduced and grinding somewhat gone, but whirring and some grinding remains even with the new fan from HP
Any help would be great, I have tried to include as much information regarding the problem as I can but if there is anything else needed dont hesitate to ask and I can try to provide such information as required.
Michal.

Also, when the fan is running at higher speeds the whirring/grinding noise is quieter and less noticable than when it is running at very low speeds... When running at very very high speeds (while playing games) the fan sounds almost the same as my old one when it was still working, and at high speeds its more a whirring humm... Then at lower speeds it goes back to a more low whirring/grinding.
Not sure if this helps but its just something I've noticed... Any help with this problem?

HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook. The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the 40GB size I wanted through disk management.
It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
Thanks!!

Upgrading the CPU in my HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC

Hey there,
I am looking to upgrade my seemingly weak CPU so that my laptops performance may be noticeably improved, for things such as gaming. I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC, running a Windows 7 64-bit Operating System.
This is my current CPU:
Quad-Core AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 1600 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
If you require any more information about my laptop in order to help me, please ask and I will be happy to provide.
Please note that I do not want to have to upgrade any other components of my laptop, such as the motherboard, in case the CPU requires stronger/more powerful support, as money is a limitation. The cheaper the better, as long as the performance will be improved noticeably. Thank you.

Hello TooQuix,
I understand you want to upgrade your CPU is the correct? I will try and provide you the information that you need.
This document will provide you a list of processors available for this unit. Now because you have AMD installed originally, and you're using the same motherboard you will have to continue to use AMD.
If you turn to page 85 there is a list of processors, the part numbers are there as well to help your search. Also, if you plan on doing the work on your own the instructions on how to replace the processor is shown there as well.
I hope this helps.
If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

HP Pavilion dv6-3145dx Notebook-Problem with keyboard

My HP Pavilion dv6-3145dx Entertainment Notebook PC's keyboard is not working properly. After my laptop has been running for a couple of hours, the keyboard starts typing all kinds of letters, numbers and printing prompts on its own. I spoke with a tech support person at a local retailer and they believe that there is a "short" in the keyboard and/or cable. I have been using an external keyboard as a work around, but an external keyboard is cumbersome for traveling. Unfortunately the laptop is out of warranty by about a month. Also,this problem started right after I purchased a 4MB RAM upgrade from HP.... don't know if there is any connection??? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pavilion dv6-1125es - Hard Disk problem

I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1125es (out of warranty) with Vista Home Premium (32 bit) that runs very slowly and freezes but this does not seem to be caused by malware. I was considering reinstalling but decided to run diagnostics first. In the System Diagnostics (Setup), the Start-up Test (F2) finds no problem in the Memory Test, Hard Disk Quick Test or Hard Disk SMART Test.
In the System Diagnostics Hard Disk Test (F4), the Quick Test indicates Passed (100%) but the Full Test shows:
- 00% Complete
-‘Replace Hard Disk1’(in red) followed by ‘testing’ (in white)
The SMART check indicates Passed
On pressing Esc to continue, the next screen shows (in blue)
- “Hard Disk Test” Failed
- “Hard Disk 1 FULL” (305)
The Diagnostic Log shows Result: 0305
I would be grateful for help with the following points:
1) Is the ‘0305’ error unfixable? Does it mean replacing the hard disk?
2) The current disk is 320 Gb. What is capacity limit for this model dv6-1125es?
3) If I install Windows 7 on the new disk, can the 64 bit version be used on this model?
4) As this laptop has also been running hot, I would like to try to clean the fan and ventilation system. Where can I find instructions on this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
To answer your questions.
1. The 305 error does mean you will need to replace the Hard Drive.
2. You can certainly go up to a 500Gb HDD without any problems - see the procedure starting on Page 69 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
3. Yes, your processor is 64bit capable - see Here for confirmation of this.
4. There are instructions for cleaning your notebooks air vents Here.

HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Notebook - Internal Hard Drive Options

Greetings,
I just purchased an HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (at Costco), and so far it's been a great deal. Everything seems to be working just fine.
Because I do a lot of development work in Virtual Images, I have been running a number of external Hard Drivers from the notebook over the couple of weeks since I've owned it (including an external SSD). All that seems to work fine.
But, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to install a second Hard Drive or SSD in this Notebook Model. I saw on the HP site that some Notebooks allow the installation of a second Hard Drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest it can handle such a configuration.
My primary objective for doing this would be to retain the original 1TB Hard Drive that came with the Notebook, but have a secondary SSD Drive to perhaps run the Paging activity from, when such functionality is needed upon running some of my larger Virtual Images.
Any assistance with clarifying if this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne

Notebook fan problem

Hi,
I've had my laptop for 2 years now, my laptop: Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC, has a fan problem. My fan stopped working when I turn on my laptop. After using my laptop for a while (when it starts to turn overheat), my fan kicks in and only works for exactly one hour, after the hour, my fan turns off. While the fan is on, it cools down my laptop. My fan won't working again until a couple hours later or when I restart my laptop and wait for it to overheat again.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

If you just bought it and it's only a few months old then it should be covered for a replacement. You shouldn't be forced to buy a new one, HP should give you one to make it right.
I hear you, if you are busy you don't have time but don't let them swindle you. At least give the computer to someone who does have time and tell them to do a web chat the warranty people and explain that it runs at 98 C (or over 200 F) and that it needs to be replaced and could have burned you. Do this before the warranty period is gone. I think new computers come with a year warranty.
I say webchat because it is easier to keep a record of who you have spoken with and what they say in case they try to weasel out of replacing it. If they give you any trouble about it, post the log or send it to me in a message and I will tell you how to deal with them.
For several months I had to send emails back and forth and go through three years of receipts to get them to honor a warranty and I saved the logs of our chats and I know every sneaky trick they use to try and deny people service.

Pavilion dv7 - heating and fan problems, hinge broken - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS JUNK!!!

This message is targetted towards people looking to purchase an HP Pavilion dv7 series of notebooks. Hopefully they are scanning these boards prior to purchase, something I (very) regretfully did not do.
My system: Intel i7 Q720 @ 1.60GHz, 8GB, ATI mobility radeon HD5650 1GB, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Almost immediately, there were severe overheating problems. Even under normal use (1- 4% CPU, Word, Excel etc.) it became too hot on the left side to keep on my lap. My kids actually burned their hands on that part. I once used it on a table with a vinyl tablecloth. It actually melted the vinyl!
Running any CPU/GPU intensive software causes a shutdown due to overheating, a real nuiscance with playing games or watching video in HD. Just as a test, I ran one computationally intensive program overnight while I kept the machine in my freezer. Even then, it overheated and shutdown! (I have not overclocked; just running my software on the hardware as purchased).
Even in normal use, the fan runs very high, and is very noisy. It is so noisy that I cannot leave it on in my bedroom.
Finally, because of the positioning of the vent, I am certain that the intense heat weakens the left hinge. I am very careful with how I open lids, always with both hands on the lid. Within two months, the left hinge cracked. I argued extensively with HP, but they insisted that it was my fault, and I was charged for the fix.
I'm wondering whether the designers ever turned on (let alone stress tested) these units prior to selling this piece of !@#$.
Added bonus: within 4 months, the hard drive failed, though I can't pin that on HP. While the drive was getting replaced, I went out and bought an Acer. It had better specs than the HP, was cheaper, lighter, and even with the CPU at close to 100 percent, the heat is hardly noticable, and the fan is barely audible.
I bought HP because most of the scientific instruments in our labs is manufactured by HP, and it is truly high quality , high precision equipement, some of it running for over 25 years problem free. From that, I really trusted the HP name, I trusted that their PC division would have equal quality and standards. !#$% was I wrong! I'm glad they're getting out of the PC business.
The only reason I'm keeping this junk is because I took the extended warranty at the store, and under it, after three major repairs, they will get me a new notebook of equal or greater value. I can't wait for that inevitable third breakdown!

The dv 7 eg 4012 is the biggest disapointment:
the hinge brakes, it has an overheating problem!!!
Be prepared to replace it after 12 months or pay the bill for the repairs, hundreds of dollars.
I purchased the laptop directly from the hp online store about a year and a half ago.
First of all I had to install the latest drivers because hp is not making sure it comes with up to date drivers.
To find out what the problem was I had to contact the costumer service about 6 times.
After about 12 months the laptop startet splitting at the left hinge. The HP Costumer Service looked at the photos and told me this, Quote: "We have received the attachment of broken hinges and find it is an user damage hence, the service of the Notebook would be done on chargeable basis."
Before you want to buy a hp laptop, please type into google: broken hinge hp laptop
And you will see hundreds of posts of disappointed costumers.
Even class action lawsuit have been taken out against them.
For me, this was the last time that I invested about a 1000 Euros( bought it in Europe) in a product which needs to be replaced after a year and a half.
Please stay away from this product,
except you have plenty of time and money to keep this machine alive.

HP Pavilion dv6-2190us Notebook PC Battery Won't Charge & Will Now Only Run on AC Power

OS: Win7 (64-bit)
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
First off, I will say that the main battery I am using is not an HP OEM battery, however, it has been verfied to work and charge correctly in another family member's dv6 notebook. Furthermore, I have access to an HP OEM battery, from a family member's dv6, with which I have confirmed the same issue. FYI: I replaced my OEM battery about a year ago with an aftermarket battery when my OEM battery stopped holding a charge. This happened after before my laptop was 2 years old.
So, here's a description of the problem. About a month ago, even though my laptop was plugged in to the AC adapter, the battery stopped charging. The laptop continued to work until the battery completely ran out of charge. Once that happened, the laptop shut down, DESPITE still being connected to the AC adapter. At this point, as long as the battery was installed in my laptop, with the AC adapter still connected, it would not power up. The only way I could get it to power up was to remove the battery. Then, it would boot up just fine, but of course, I was now tethered via the AC cord, turning my laptop into a "thin and light desktop". If I attempted to put the battery back while the computer was on, connected to the AC adapter, it would shut down IMMEDIATELY. I took the battery and plugged it into my family member's dv6, at which point it charged just fine and worked normally. I then took the charged battery and put it back into my laptop only to have the same sequence of events repeat, i.e. laptop ran off of the battery despite the AC adapter being plugged in until it ran out of charge...had to remove battery to get laptop to start back up. I have also confirmed the exact same behavior with the HP OEM battery out of my family member's dv6. So, in a nutshell, it would appear as though my laptop has lost the ability to charge batteries and cannot resolve the fact that the AC adapter is plugged in when a dead battery is installed.
It should be noted that despite the normal operation of my family member's dv6 with my battery and the normal operation of my laptop with just the AC adapter plugged in, I did verify (via a multimeter) that the voltage of the batteries were within normal operating range and that the voltage and current flow of the AC adapter was within normal operating range.
Is there a separate charging circuit inside the dv6 for charging the battery? Is it separate from the motherboard and possible to replace? I've done quite a bit of research on this issue (or very similar issues) and despite some suggestions RE: BIOS issues, I just can't see how that could be the culprit. Nor can I see how "re-calibrating" my battery would address this problem. Note: battery does register at 100% when charged in the other dv6 and put back into my dv6.
Ok, I hope that clearly explains the issue. Please let me know if I can provide any further details to help troubleshoot it.
Thanks,
Eric

Okay, so the type of battery you have is designed to last approximately 1 year (see link below) it has lots of links to other useful docs too.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00596784&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4121239&tmp...
HP & other companies do sell Long life batteries but they cost more.
We would ask you to put the unit in our unit and run Battery check which is inside HP Support Assistant, make sure you have the latest version, same for your BIOS Version.
You will see there are bunch of tips on how to make your battery last longer, but you really need to start doing them from the start, if your battery is already 1 year old there is a good chance it is low enough on it's capacity to require you buying a new one.
You should check out our site, they often have sales, and Batteries would be under accessories.
Check out other sites too, compare.
Good luck.
