  • Ubuntu Problem in Pavillion dv6 3208-tx Notebook PC

    I own an HP dv6 3208-tx Notebook PC. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 recently and I'm facing the following problem.
    From the bootloader, when I select Ubuntu, it doesn't load. It gets stuck at a black screen without any cursor. If I go to Windows and turn off the ATI graphics card and switch to the onboard Intel card, then SOMETIMES it boots in Ubuntu (This occurance is limited to about one in ten tries).
    This makes it very difficult for me as a lot of my work is done on Ubuntu. Please help.

    Hello Budge1,
    I understand after replacing the keyboard a few keys do not work, is that correct? I will do what I can to assist you with this issue.
    Truthfully, you have done all the required troubleshooting. Either the keyboard that you added isn’t any good or it’s not compatible with this system. Due the fact that it doesn’t work properly in bios and you even flashed the bios after and it still doesn’t work. I believe it’s the keyboards’ problem.

  • Pavillion DV6 2020sa bios corrupt, wont take recovery. please help.

    hi, thanks to anyone that has any input on this problem its much appriciated,
    I am looking at my brothers laptop, pavillion DV6 2020sa he had a virus lock the screen, he held the power button to switch it off, upon reboot he gets the blank screen and flashing leds (2 flashes) upon lookin up it says bios corrupt, i have downloaded the bios from HP tis 3635.bin and have put in on a USB drive, the sticker under the battery also says 3635, so im confident i have the right one.
    I then hold the win + B button and then power, it starts, and shortly after the USB stick light up and flashes, then stops, then flashes again, at that point i get 6 beeps, then silence, then i get 5 slow beeps, i have read this is meant to happen, but then its meant to resart, and this is the bit that dont happen, it dont do anything, when i restart it, it just does the same flashing lights.
    am i doing something wrong, or something im missing.
    Thanks again for any help.
    Jamie.

    You will need an eeprom programmer to reprogram a new BIOS chip with a fresh BIOS file. It takes a special hot air tool to successsfully remove and replace a notebook BIOS chip. This is not just normal soldering. This is what real electronics technicians and workers at an electronics R&D lab and workers on the assembly line at manufacturer do. Unless you just happen to be an electronics enthusiast or engineer, and I am guessing you are not since you asked these questions, this may be out of your league. If you feel adventurous and have  your brother's permission to use his notebook as a guinea pig...go for it! It is not as easy as the guy in the video made it look. He is a trained technician and  does it for a living.

  • Help Recovering my HP Pavillion dv6

    Hi there!
    I am currently using a HP Pavillion dv6. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Edition, to which I upgraded to after originally having Vista. I do not have recovery disks and was looking for a simple step-by-step guide to restoring my computer back to it's factory settings. I have already backed-up my important files. I am encountering a problem though, my computer fails to pick up when I press F11 during the booting screen. Please let me know what steps I should take to fix my problem!
    Thank you!

  • Hard disk test failed on HP Pavillion dv6-1100eo notebook

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC  (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32-bit.  Unfortunately no warranty left in and general I have been very happy with this notebook.
    However suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it did not even find Startup Recovery partition on the harddisk. As I wasn't sure if this Startup Recovery was on hard disk or not - I ordered System Recovery DVDs for this Scandinavian language version.
    These disks did not work - so I figured I have probably not done my homework before ordering those disks.
    Then I ran system Diagnostics (even if I have a old BIOS version F.03).  On the diagnositics - both Quick and Full Hard disk test failed during the first 1% of the scan.
    Is there anything that can be done - or is the only option new hard disk? In case - what hard disk is recommended that is not too expensive - as I don't want to invest too much into a soon 3 year old notebook.
    I recently bougth an external harddisk (1 TB) based on USB connection. Can that be used bypassing internal HD. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest anymore into this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs
    It is probably only a time question before I will buy a new HP notebook - that is why I don't want any long permanent fix of this problem.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot Vista from the external HDD, so if you need to get the notebook working, you're going to have to replace the internal drive.
    The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
    500Gb Hard Drive
    The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 57 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.

  • HP Pavillion DV6 FN Key

    Hey,
      I currently have a DV6 Pavillion Laptop (may not survive much longer!)  I have googled to high ends to solve my problem, but I have found nothing.
    The problem is something will trigger the FN key randomly and I won't know about this until I press f5 to refresh browser (which puts my laptop to sleep) or i'll press f3-f4 in a game, which will tab me out and while this happens, the spacebar will not work. This is fixed by me pressing the FN key again, however this is just a huge inconvience for me.
    I've checked the HP article about the settings being in the BIOS, but they was not. The problem has been happening for 8 months now and the past few weeks it has been activating more frequently.
    Appreciate any help (please don't tell me to check BIOS!)

    Hi,
    Please shut down the notebook. Tapping f10 as you start up to access the Bios Menu and make the change described in the document on the link below.

  • Pavillion dv6-6002ev is beeping on start up continuously

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my laptop which is the Pavillion dv6-6002ev i5, operating system: Windows 7, error message: continues beep code at the start up, issues occurred: water was spilled through the keyboard, product LL053EA.
    Actually I am not very proud of it but by mistake I spilled water on it through the keyboard. I immediately turned it off and I used the blow drier to dry it as much as I could..I removed even the keyboard and the memory cover from the back in order to be sure that all the water has gone.
    After that I turned it on and in the start up there is a beep code ( I don’t have LED code at all) that is continues.If I press enter or another button then after awhile this sound stops for a while then starts again and then I have to choose from the Boot manager Windows7 and then starts.
    Firstly the touchbad didn’t work but everything else worked fine (sounds, video, battery, processor). After 20 hours of the incident the touchbad started also to work but the light of the touchbad still does not work.
    So the main problem is the loud sound at the beginning that doesn’t stop unless I use the boot manager to start the Windows.
    I searched on the internet from the beginning and I saw that this beep code can only indicate a hardware problem so until now I have tried everything available on the internet to make this sound to stop (taken from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01732674&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...)But nothing worked and everything seemed fine, memory tests passed and everything.
    Also I used the DST tests that are available from this model (Hard drive, Memory, Battery) but all of them passed...
    So really after doing everything and without being an expert on PCs I would like to ask is there anything more that I can do in order this sound to stop and before I have to take it to expert to fix it? And is it this sound really worrying?, can I use the laptop until I will get it fixed or its better to have it off?
    Thank you in advance for your responses

    Hey ktassi !
    Gosh I hate when that happens! I've been there myself and I know it's very frustrating.
    The first thing I would recommend doing is turning the computer on and getting all of the personal files backed up. That would be my priority. If you already have everything saved externally, then there's no need to worry with that step. Now, there is back up software out there that you can use. However, I've found  that copying and pasting each folder individually over to an external hard drive/flashdrive or cloud service is a more reliable way of backing up your files. 
    Once you have everything backed up, you can troubleshoot. It would be helpful to know what the beep pattern is that you're hearing at power on. You did a great job finding that document. It has a key on it that will tell you what component is affected depending on the beep patter you hear. If all of the hardware components seem to be working OK, you could try reloading Windows. Although, I couldn't guarantee this would help since the beep code indicates a hardware problem, but it well worth a try.
    Here are the steps to perform a System Recovery after you have backed up all of your files. From the blue links at the top, choose "Recovery from the startup screen (during system boot)". When the recovery is done, use your computer normally. Start it up and shut it down several times to see if it will detect any problems (which will cause it to emit a beep pattern again). If it does still beep after the recovery, there may be a minimal hardware issue. That malfunctioning hardware may need to be repaired/replaced before the notebook will stop beeping. 
    You could also try muting the PC Beep. 
    Right Click on the Speaker symbol in the system tray > Click Playback Devices > Right Click on 'Speakers'/'Speakers and Headphones' > Click Properties > Click the Levels Tab > Mute PC Beep.
    This method should be used with caution though because if there ever were a serious hardware failure that would cause the computer to beep, you would be unaware of it, possibly until it was too late.
    Let me know what the beep pattern is. Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions help (this could help others with the same issues). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

  • How to get Beats by Dre software on my Pavillion DV6-6170SD?

    Hello everyone,
    I  recently installed Windows 8 (64 bit) on my HP Pavillion DV6-6170SD and most of the drivers were working right away. I used to have Beats by Dre audio software before I updated my Windows and now I can't find it on the website below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5141...
    Can someone help me find the Beats by Dre software for my laptop?
    It looked a bit like this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ali

    Hi Ali,
    You're welcome
    It may be worth trying to use the Windows 7 IDT Audio installer specifically for your notebook ( I've found this seems to work Ok on several machines ) - download it from the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the IDT Audio entry and select Uninstall - let the process complete and then restart the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Any improvement?

It sounds terrible so I set both to 0. After setting it to 0 I am satisfied with the sound. But it resets itself every time i turn on my laptop. It is frustrating me to no end. I've tried updated my drivers but they all say they are up to date. If it helps im running windows 7 64bit with beats audio. Im not sure what other specs i should add. Also I have no idea how to use Beats.

    Hi JeffyBoy1792,
    You'll find the answers to both questions in the owners manual of your notebook, beginning on page 35.
