The General: pls i use hp pavillion dv6 (8gb ram, 600gb dd.) the fingerprint reader is nomore working after doing new installation. pls any help?You probably haven't installed the driver. Which DV6 model exactly? I need to know so I can find the driver for you. Also, usually there's a program on your PC which includes all drivers (unless you installed from a retail Windows CD). You can check for drivers CDs that came with your laptop as well. 1 Like |

StarFlux: Most laptops will do that just fine. Get something with a 2+ Ghz dual core and Intel 4000 GPU graphics or similar from AMD.thanks |

mjksho: i have a compaq 615 laptop that refused to display anything on the screen even with d power and wireless lights on,the fan is also working! It runs on AMD athlon and i was told dat getting an AMD motherboard is a serious task.i changed d board after several months search and the i encountered d same problem after three weeks usage.how do i overcome this? Or should i just get a new laptop but the money is the issue coz i'm still a student and my income is limited.GET A NEW LAPTOP I too had to dump my HP 9910us laptop Changed to a new motherboard which failed after 3weeks Its an HP problem seeing the video chips (mostly NVIDIA/some ATI) were not properly soldered to the motherboard Dont beef AMD HP's a$$ got sued like mad in the states over this issue which affected many HP laptop series If you get a VERY GOOD technician to help reflow the chip(that is IF),you are good to go but I recommend you get another preferably DELL if you can afford it |

ndlife: sorry which of the product will i choose 4 dis,cos my last laptop was hp pavillion dv6 and it got spoiled before 5 monthBrand really is not a big deal, but if you have a bad experience with HP, try something new. I have a great experience with Asus. |

saxywale: well,i guess it is different strokes for different folks, as they say. Just that I cannot explain why that would be the case.I was scared at first when i noticed the anomaly, but when i googled the issue and found several people with similar cases, i had to give assume this was more of a general issue from the company, maybe a new technical issue. i bought mine in moscow, by the way |
Re: System Requirements Thread: Can My PC Run It? by StarFlux: 12:02am On Jan 24, 2013 |
mjksho:That's strange. It dropped to 2Ghz? You sure the processor wasn't just throttling? Anyway, it seems like it's a lost cause. You sure the repair man didn't change the processor with a weaker one? Anyway, there's not much else you can do it seems. Feraz:Need a model number. |
Re: System Requirements Thread: Can My PC Run It? by mjksho(m): 12:02am On Jan 24, 2013 |

Make sure you didn't disable the screen with a key-shortcut, and try this: Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot. |
