HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Battery Problem

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Windows Vista 64-bit, I bought it less than 2 months ago.  Yesterday I fogot my charging cable so I ran my battery all the way out.  Then this morning after charging I turned on my laptop and it gave me a message about the internal battery being weak.  I tested it with the HP Support Assistant and got this message: 
"The battery is functioning correclty, but due to normal aging of the battery, the battery life between charges has reached a point where your battery is no longer useful.  The battery may be covered by your HP Warrant.  Please contact HP."
What happened to my battery and is there a way to fix it without getting a new one (highly unlikely but I have to ask..)?  I'm hoping this problem is under warrenty because I've only had my laptop for less than two months and the battery is already aged?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, try to download the latest HPSA and test the battery again, if it still shows the same problem, contact local support center to get the battery replaced.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC sound problem

    hello
    I'm having a problem with my laptop that I'd bought two years ago. My laptop audio wouldn't work without USB headphone. 
    The model is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
    The product number is XG756UA#ABA
    Thank you

    I see that you are having problems with the sound on your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
    Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps for common sound issue. Follow the steps in the link and let me know what happens.
    How long have you been having this problem?
    If you use the headphone port does it work or is it just USB?

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Battery Adapter Message

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook  (product # A5F76AV) and recently every time I plug it in with the adapter that was provided with it, a message in a box appears on the bottom right hand corner of my screen saying that I need a higher power adapter, and this causes me to randomly drop in FPS when I play a video game. How do I solve this? Thanks.

    Hey iilykerice,
    I see that you're still having an issue with the error message prompting you to get a higher power adapter.
    Here is a couple of workarounds -
    NON-OPTIMAL WORKAROUND I discovered that if you simply remove the battery while using the computer in AC mode. The messages stop. Apparently they appear whenever the computer switches between AC and battery power. It works vice-versa as well, when running on battery power only.
    ANOTHER WORKAROUND As I was going through all of this, I discovered that changing the power configuration from "Power Saver" to "HP Recommended (Recommended)" the messages stopped. I did this however while the battery was removed, and it is possible that the battery should be out when you do this.
    ALSO, The OEM adapter by the way is 65 watts -- people on other forums suggested that anything under 60 watts should be replaced no matter what. We had it plugged into a very old surge protector, which conceivably could have been robbing power. So we now have it directly in the wall. (Did this after stopping messages with the different power config, so I don't know if it would have worked -- but try it anyway).
    Here is the document i got this from for you too take a look at- http://goo.gl/ynP1V
    Also, If you're still in warranty please contact HP at 18004746836
    It very well could be the ac adapter.

  • Please Help.. HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook has totally stopped working

    Hi
    If anyone can help me I would be grateful. My computer just stopped working today and left me with a blank screen, when I try to turn on I just get the HP logo. I have run a hard disk and memory test and they both came back OK.
    I have my life on here and when I took it to the Geek Squad they said it was probably the hard drive and wanted tons of money to TRY and fix it.
    I have a blank black/blue page, I have removed the battery and tried a hard start, I replaced the battery, I do have a flashing caps lock light and my mouse pad is illuminated.
    I don't know what to do next and have my life on this computer including many family photos that cannot be replaced.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received
    Thanks

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore system and drivers

    Hi. Some days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At anytime I tried to switch it on, a message error appeared and system was blocked. Message was: FILE:\BOOT\BCD Status 0xc000000f, asking for running the Windows 7 System disk. But System disk didn't run at all. I checked situation and found the hard disk with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a partition named BOOT (X that was a replica of C:.  When I tried to restore the system by the recovery disk, something got control of the recovery disk, so that C: could not be formatted; neither X: was. Also, I tried to cancel files in X: but disk was protected and didn't allow any changes. So I could only get my hard disk uninstalled and all the partitions were cleaned off. I got my hard disk perfectly cleaned, but my recovery disk could not be installed properly. Therefore, system was not restored yet. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with restored system? any ideas?  
    This question was solved.

    When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
    The above requested information can be found on the bottom of your computer or inside the battery compartment. Please do not include your serial number. Please enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and/or post it here for our review.
    Depending on the age on your computer, it may have come from the factory with 5 or more partitons. This is common on newer computers that utilize UEFI and GPT partitions. The "Windows 7 System disk", the computer wass asking for is either a Windows 7 installation disc or a Windows 7 Repair Disc. Neither of these discs come with your HP computer and must be downloaded and/or created in Windows.
    Start by using your HP Recovery Disc set (should be 3 or more DVDs). Insert disc #1 and reboot your computer to start the process. Insert the remaining discs as requested, until the recovery is finished.
    If this doesn't work and you can read the 25-digit Microsoft Windows 7 product key on th Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download Windows 7 SP1, create the Windows installation DVD, and install Windows 7.  If you prefer to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash Drive, please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash Drive. After installing Windows using this method , you will no longer have any HP customizations or software. You will also need to identify and download drivers for hardware devices that Windows 7 didn't already supply drivers for.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

    Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
    Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?

    Try following the procedure under the sub-heading 'Let me fix it myself' on the link below to remove the Upper and Lower filters and see if this helps the issue.  Although Windows 8 is not mentioned, the registry keys should be the same.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook / Simple Pass Inactive

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6 notebook.  The Simple Pass program has been set up and was working for a year and all of a sudden I stopped getting the prompt to scan my finger as I accessed registered websites needing logins.  My fingerprint reader still works because I am prompted to scan to unlock my laptop.  I just doesn't work on website logins.  Suggestions to fix???
