Possible solution to dv6000 overheating in use

Hi, I am hoping this is in the correct section under Notebook hardware. This is about the HP Pavilion dv6000 running Windows XP, Service Pack 3 and relates to overheating when using the laptop with the N20789 charger.
Observation: Use of a different 19v power supply to the manufacturer's original might in some cases help reduce the operating temperature of the HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. Overheating is of course a critical issue with these laptops therefore anything which could help reduce the operating temperature must be taken seriously.
I was recently given a Pavilion dv6000 in good condition but I couldn't try it out because the battery was not charged and the laptop did not come with a power supply. However, I did have a spare toshiba 19v supply which in the absence of anything else to satisfy my curiousity I decided to adapt for use with the dv6000 laptop.
After a bit of trial and error, I found a plug in a plug-tips kit which seemed to make contact ok and soldered this to wire from the toshiba supply. This is an adequate fit in the laptop, whereas the correct hp power supply uses a specially designed plug which is profiled to keep it held firmly in the power socket of the laptop.
The dv6000 powered up and works fine attached to the 19v toshiba supply, although it does get fairly hot in use. I am careful to allow space for the flow of air under and around the laptop but it still heats up in a way that I have not seen before. After several days of testing the dv6000 awith the toshiba 19v supply it performed well and I just accepted that it was going to get a bit warm or sometimes hotter than I would like in use.
Yesterday I was pleased to be given the original hp power supply which came with the dv6000 and which I immediately tried out in place of the toshiba supply. The special hp plug clicked satsifyingly into the power socket on the laptop but after a short time using the original hp 19v supply I noticed the following:
1. the touchpad of the dv6000 became uncomfortably hot
2. the top surface of the laptop near to the touchpad felt very hot in places.
3. airflow from the rear vent of the dv6000 became extremely hot and uncomfortable on the hand.
I therefore disconnected the hp supply in case it caused the dv6000 to overheat or to crash and rather sadly went back to using my adapted 19v toshiba supply.
Conclusion: Before jumping to conclusions this sort of experiment would need to be conducted over several different dv6000 laptops all performing the same tasks, with figures to read for CPU and GPU temperatures etc. However, this was such a startling observation that I had to report it immediately.
Both of the PSU 'bricks' get pretty hot in use. This in itself is not unusual, but the hp psu was the slightly hotter of the two. Again this would need to be verified.
In the absence of any more data, which would necessarily include data on the many replica power supplies available fro the Pavilion series of laptops, it must be said that no final conclusion can be drawn.
Nevertheless there was an impression to be had that the running temperature of the dv6000 when connected to the original hp power supply was worryingly close to component melting levels and nothing like the gentler experience I had been having with my adapted 19v supply.

Possibly solution to slow deleting if using Kapersky Internet Security

In case anyone has a similr problem i discovered today that the File AV within Kersky Internet Security 2010 is killing the process when deelting files making it take forever. The solutions I have found so far are:
a) Turn off the File AV completely under settings
b)There is an option under File AV / settings/additional go to "pause on application startup" click select and at the exe.
Hope that helps someone

FWIW, I have a similar problem with Webroot's Spy Sweeper - it seems to kill MOVE and DELETE performance.
When I've had to copy 100's or 1000's of large files, it will crawl and Windows will report "4 hours remaining"... I turn off the A/V and all of a sudden it's "2 minutes remaining".

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache

and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads

MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1. Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

OS X 10.9 freeze when WiFi is turned off (POSSIBLE SOLUTION)

Hi, I just found a possible solution for this problem: my MacBook Pro freeze completely (without the spinning beach ball) after I turn off WiFi.
I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch late 2007 (MacBookPro3,1 - A1229), with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card, running OS X 10.9.
What happened:
- I updated the OS from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5
- My Mac started freezing everytime after login, I don't remember if WiFi was on or off
- Reverted back 10.8.4, thank you Time Machine!
- Updated to OS X 10.9
- Everything was OK, but then I did some work in my home and I had to turn off the modem
- Modem was off, so I decided to turn off also the AirPort card on my MacBook Pro
- After a couple of seconds my computer completely stopped responding, trackpad and keyboard were useless, the UI froze
- After pressing the power button I managed to shutdown the Mac and then start it up again
- Now after the startup process I was stuck in loop: WiFi was still off and I had few seconds to login, wait for my account to load and turn on WiFi from the menubar icon; I failed countless times!
- In an attempt to slow down the Mac and earn some more seconds I did a PRAM reset and logged in with the Shift key pressed (after typing my password)
- I managed to turn WiFi on and looked immediatly for clues on Console logs:

This is what happen to my Mac when I turn off the AirPort card; I don't know if "Google Drive" or "libdispatch client" are the problem, but quitting Google Drive solved this madness.
Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing a similar issue.
In my case, a conflicting kext (kernel extension) from a vitual machine (VirtualBox) was causing an immediate freeze after turning Wi-Fi off. After disabling the kext's scripts, I can now disable Wi-Fi safely but if I reboot then the system hangs at radom instances of boot sequence (for example while showing the apple logo, or at the login screen or a few seconds after entering the password).
I can only boot in single user mode (command-option-S) so after looking around a way to turn on WiFi from the command line, I ended up using a daemon (boot script) that turns on WiFi before anything else happens (at least as soon as the airport card is running).
In any case, I left the instructions here, just for reference.
The script should be created in /Library/LaunchDaemons
It can have any name with "plist" extension, I choosen "com.fixwifi.wifion.plist"
To create the file type: nano /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fixwifi.wifion.plist
Enter the following text (it's a lot of text, I know, but it is better than nothing):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.fixwifi.wifion</string>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <dict>
            <key>SuccesfulExit</key>
            <false/>
        </dict>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>networksetup</string>
            <string>-setairportpower</string>
            <string>en1</string>
            <string>on</string>
        </array>
    <key>StartInterval</key>
    <integer>2</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
When finished, type "ctrl-x", then "y" to save and enter. Reboot.
This script will:
- try to power on the en1 interface as soon as the script loads
- if it fails (because the interface is not running yet), will try to turn it on every two seconds
- once the interface is on (exit is succesful), then unload the script.
Note that this script assumes the airport interface is named "en1". It can also work with the word "airport" (at least in my tests).
Good luck!

Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
Thanks in advance.

A little solution that has helped me.
install both
Notebook Hardware Control (NHC)
http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download
Notebook Hardware Control has a Max Battery setting when you right click on it's icon in the notification section on the task bar (lower right). Make sure to apply this setting.
and as suggested by Kappy
Input Remapper
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

Possible solution if you can't install Acrobat 9 Pro via CS4 Installer

(Thanks to Paul_Belza for this idea.)
Symptoms:
Acrobat 9 is grayed out in the Setup window of Creative Suite 4 installer.
Opening the carat reveals an incorrect explanation of: "Acrobat 9 is already installed."
You have more than one hard drive attached with an OS X install that has had prior Acrobat installs on it.
Possible Solution:
Unmount all drives except your current startup drive and try again.
Discussion:
Apparently, the Acrobat prior install scanner is not very picky about where it finds a prior install. It searchs any and all drives rather than just the current startup drive and/or the currently chosen install drive. In my case, I had a clone of my start drive so I could start the arduos process of making a manual deployment setup.
Since I was previously involved in the CS4 beta, I wasn't too phased when I initially encountered issues on this machine, but much less pleased when I ran all the official uninstallers, cleaners etc and it still claimed Acrobat 9 was installed. Eventually stumbled on Paul Belza's note that the scanner is indiscriminate, unmounted my additional backup drive and all was immediately well.
(Note: During the process, I also came across the fact that with a volume license Acrobat 9 Pro can be installed simply by mounting the extensions/Acrobat9_es.dmg (whatever it is called exactly) and dragging the folder into your Applications folder. As long as you have previously installed a CS4 app (so it doesn't hang at the serial number screen), it will self-repair and be ready for use.

Not sure it will help, but try it when logged in as the administrator and with anti-virus turned off. As far as error numbers, must of us have no clue (there seems to be a list at Adobe, but we don't work there.

Date display with possible solution not working

<bean:write name="peter" property="tDate" >
Hi I am displaying the dates from database using above tag.
Now the problem is I dont need to display the dates which are sundays
so let me know how to do this
thanxs in advance
possible solution I got as below
Just add a method to your ActionForm like this:
code:
public boolean isDateSunday() {        if (theDate == null) {            return false;        } Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(theDate); return(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY); }
Then in your jsp:
<logic:equal name="peter" property="dateSunday" value="false" >
<bean:write name="peter" property="tDate" >
</logic:equal>
but
Actually I am getting dates from database directly .No actionform is involded.
I have access to only jsp page and in that follwoing code
<bean:write name="peter" property="tDate" >
even i tried to put the java code in jsp file but getting error on this line
property="dateSunday" as there is no getter method for this in bean.even though there is getter method for tdate

You dont have to put java code in your jsp.
Add a getter method that returns a boolean value in which you check if the tDate (date property) resolves to a sunday.
package yourpkg;
class YourBean{
   private date tDate; //you already have this property and getter/setter methods for it.
   public boolean isSunday() {
     if(tDate== null){
          return false; //or throw an exception
     Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
     cal.setTime(tDate);
     return cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY;
    //other props and methods
}Then in your jsp,
<logic:equal name="peter" property="sunday" value="false" >
           <bean:write name="peter" property="tDate" >
</logic:equal>Note the above will automatically call the isSunday() method on your bean.
Does that help?

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

Possible solution to wi-fi password issues in OS X Lion

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this forum post.
In this post, I shall be outlining the possible solution to the wi-fi password issues that have surfaced in Lion, and will no doubt be fixed by Apple in an coming update. This is sort of a temporary thing that I found to work.
To backtrack in regards to the previous operating system, Snow Leopard, if you wanted to password protect your Wifi connection for example, in regards to sharing the internet connection between, for example, between your Mac and your Ipad, you were able to go into Sharing, Internet Sharing and click on Airport options and set a password.
For the moment this appears to be absent.
Instead, you now have to click on Wi-fi options and what now appears is something along the lines of asking to input a ASCII/HEX password.
At first this seems puzzling and at first, I reinstalled Snow Leopard due to this obvious ommision in regards to the previous method, and like everybody else has said, Internet Sharing worked perefectly well in Snow Leopard.
However, I decided to install Lion once again and try to figure out a solution and as such, I came across this website
http://www.andrewscompanies.com/tools/wep.asp
What the above website allows you to do is get a WEP key, which can be used in the Wi-fi options settings within Internet Sharing.
You simply click on the middle option on the webpage (which I did), to select 128bit key and copy and paste the HEX key, which appears under the section marked Generated Keys, into the password input section of Wi-fi options
This is where another problem arises. If you are sharing the internet connection between your Mac and your Ipad for example, the following steps need to be taken in order for this connection sharing to work
1.When you boot up your Mac, go to System Prefrences, Sharing, untick and tick the Internet Sharing checkbox and click Start on the dialog that appears.
2.Now on your Ipad, go to the Wi-fi tab, find your wireless network and click on the arrow next to it, click on Forget this network, go back to the Wi-fi screen again and tap on your Wi-fi network once again. It will now ask for your password. TYPE IN THE KEY. The connection between the Mac and the Ipad is established.
THE ABOVE STEPS WILL NEED TO BE DONE IF YOU TURN YOUR MAC OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN.
As I've said previously, this should be a good temporary solution until Apple comes out with an update that can solve this issue
Thank you for your time

Had the same problem (random WiFi disconnects), but AppleCare solved it.
Delete Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
You'll have to reconnect WiFi, but pswd etc should still be there.
