no problem mate, if you liked it please sub :)

no, you have to take to ones under the battery and the ones with the arrow on them

Ribbons always have something to hold them mate, usually it is a clip. Before you remove it check it out or you might cut the ribbon. Cheers

The plug is connected strait into the screen. I am about to take the screen apart to get the antennas out. I could check if the cable is removable or is soldered on there if you want

it is removable and you can replace it

❤

Pretty sure any laptop hard drive Will work

yes you have to

that seems to be the ribbon cable that connects the motherboard to the top panel (power button etc)

This is named "Media ribbon flat cable" and works for (by touch) controlling the sound volume and supplying the indications for various other functions like ON-OFF of Wi-Fi adaptor!

LOL!!!! Very "accurate" & "detailed" description!!!

it is named the quick launch button ribbon cable and is a very common problem to break because the way it's bend

hey mate could you please re-write the comment in english as the google translate doesn't really make any sense when I am trying to translate your question. Thank you

on most laptops the GPU is "glued" on the mainboard that would take a professional to do it as it's kinda tricky and you might destroy the whole thing.

You dont need to open, just pull it out, be careful :)

Nowadays if you even look at the laptops nowadays the wrong way they fail in one way or another. It’s a real shame.

Same like you working like charm

Hi, may I kindly ask which games you been playing on it?

I have a DV6 2140ED and still rocking with a Samsung 850 pro ssd and extra memory. I have it sinds 2010 and changed the keyboard one time and I have just ordered my third power adapter. The 2nd was an el cheapo that didn't last long. 2nd time an original adapter and lasted 7 years and it just died. this time i ordered the cheaper one again because original is hard to find. In my experience this is a very reliable HP.

Upgrade the processor, the t9900 at 3,07 ghz is a beast on this laptop.

i only know the yr of this specific model (dv6-2162nr) and it's 2010. i cannot provide you with day and month sadly

in 2010

DDR III @1333 MHz

we will need more info mate in order to help you.

Did you fix it how did you do it?

@@cymonfeliciano7476 no, just sold in for £20 lol

Hey, well we made this video about a year ago and since then we have seen a lot of other models so I can not be really sure, but you can check the specs here www.cnet.com/products/hp-pavilion-dv6/specs/

You should better check if you have plugged everything in order, probably a cable or a ribbon cable that doesn't connect correctly.

I did it plenty of times and still the problem resisted but thanks anyways the problem lied on the charger so all i got was a pretty good experience.

Well a pretty good experience indeed! If you liked the video please like and sub. Cheers!

Hey did you check if you correctly plugged in the power button?

Yes I did and I double checked. It's properly connected.

I just checked and the power cable was not fully inserted but from under the plate, not the motherboard. Thanks !

Cool mate, that should be the issue, if everything was working correctly before you "opened" it up it should after as well (unless you hurt the circuits ). Cheers!

@1:33

do you finally found what supposed there? I wondering too.

@@grandseducteur8062 TV card maybe????

maybe a old-style flash memory card?

Drivers for which OS???

It uses a normal 2.5" hard drive,. Memory holds a max of 8GB though by default it comes with only 4GBs.

misterlode0 don’t worry is normal, there is a screw that you missed on the back

@Ethan Lambert Yeah man haha. Got some thermal paste on the stuff and fixed the power ribbon cord. Got linux mint on it. Lets see if I can get some work done!! What's your deal with the old dv6? Cheers mate!

@@arturmunerato5758 ​(Same guy, different account. KZfaq is giving me some grief right now. I Ilterally had to paste my reply in .txt.file and wait till morning before I could post this reply.) Since I'm a broke college kid I have my old dv6 running a media server on Lubuntu (Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin, the whole nine yards). It's runs way better after I replaced the hdd with an sdd, but I'm sitting at 60°C idle and thermal throttling at 90-95°C when streaming, so I need to tear down the whole thing to get to the CPU... yay. It actually doesn't throttle when I only encode on two threads, but that's the easy way out. It would probably become a problem later anyway. So you're running Mint on yours? Are you planning to use it for school or are you just messing around with it?

@@lyingriotman2220 hey! I’m a new Pc gamer and I got the Pc used and I got a good steal because it has Nvidia and it’s been running so good for the games I play, I don’t play too crazy of a game on there like gta or valorant I play sims and league. Alright so I have a really bad problem and if you could help me it’d save my life, my screen is red and sometimes if I push the screen too forward it’s goes black and shines random colors. I think the video card needs a replacement or something and also it gets really really hot! Is there any parts or recommendations you can give me for those two things? You’d be saving my life! Thank you so much if you can if you can’t its alright! ☺️

@@semp3161 Kind of a strange place to ask for tech support, but it's fine I guess. The first thing I'd like to ask is how hot is it running? Have you used a program to get the actual temps or are you just saying it's running hot because it warms up on your lap? The reason I ask is because computers only really have a thermal problem when they run at 80-90°C. However, if you do believe it gets abnormally hot you can try and fix the issue by replacing the thermal paste on the CPU. If it's running really hot the fan may be broken or failing, so you can replace that too if changing the paste doesn't work. Just remove the old fan from the heat pipe assembly and attach a new fan. You should also try cleaning the fins around the heat pipes if they're full of dust. About the screen problem, I'm not too sure if it's a screen or graphics problem from your description alone. Try connecting the laptop to an external monitor. If the picture is still messed up on the monitor then you have a graphics problem. If not you just need a new screen. The reason I keep saying graphics is because the dv6 can come with both an integrated graphics chip on the CPU (called an iGPU, or just integrated graphics) or it can come with a completely separate graphics chip (technically referred to as a discrete GPU). If you plan to replace the graphics chip you need to know what type it is. If it's an iGPU you can just replace the CPU, but if it's a discrete GPU then you'll need to replace the whole motherboard, as it's going to be soldered down. If you're not sure how to check with software, you can tell if you have a discrete GPU or iGPU depending on how many branches your heat pipes have. If your heat pipes split into two branches to cover not only the CPU, but also another chip beside it, then you have a discrete GPU and you'll need to replace the board. If not, buy a compatible CPU for the dv6 and replace the old one, just make sure it comes with an iGPU. Honestly, if you come to find that the repairs are going to be a few hundred dollars (USD) I'd consider just buying another laptop. I hope you got that dv6 cheap if it's causing that much trouble for you, otherwise it's probably not worth it. That's just my opinion though. Anyway, good luck with your repairs! Tell me how it goes.

@@lyingriotman2220 thank you thank you! And don’t judge me! 😅 I have no idea where to go and I looked up countless of dv6 builds. I actually have the exact numbers of my laptop of that could help you determine if I have a discreet GPU! My screen does work when I connect to hdmi, actually that’s how I use it. (I know a bit of a hassle and a tiny bit pathetic hehe). It’s good to talk to someone who had a laptop like mine and actually dismantled that thing and to our look, this bad boy is one of the hardest to dismantle but lucky me, I can get to the part where you’re just about to remove the keyboard to get to the second cover over the fan! I think I did watch a vid where they said I basically am going to need a new motherboard and for now I can just keep heating that chip thingy. I haven’t tried that yet but I really am scared to try new PCs/Desktops. I’m thinking of just trying to customize/build my own setup for cheaper but can I trust the stats of the Pc? Is 2ghz and i7 good? What games can I play and cannot? I had an old laptop that was i3 and like 1.3 ghz and it was SHITE! Running anything! (No hate to that laptop, loved that thing) but I was maybe thinking could I salvage the fan out of there and put it mine and what about the screen? That’s be dope! But I actually got this laptop for a steal imo, it as like 125 bucks! The thing that blew me away was the nvidia sticker just hanging about on this like ten year old laptop. Maybe it’s because people say league can be played on like anything but that laptop runs like no other! I haven’t tried any other games but I think I tried like warframe and it forced crashed on me lol! It sounds a bit sad but when I wanna play I just use my laptop as a keyboard basically and use hdmi on my tv. I just really want to know if I should put my efforts into this laptop or just try to start a new, but that’s the scary thing, where do I start? And can I rally just the ghz and ram on websites? I saw a desktop setup selling for like 150 and it looked fairly old dell setup but it almost had 3ghz! With an i7 I think! I don’t want to buy it and try to edit things inside it and fuck it all up or it just not work in general. So what do you think I should do?

Just got a new CPU a few months ago, runs like a champ

REALLY? Can i change the cpu??

@@boonixtuto4009 Yes sir you can, just have to make sure you get one that is compatible! This is the one I got: www.cpumedics.com/intel-slbpg-2-53ghz-2-5gt-s-3mb-pga988-intel-core-i5-540m-dual-core-cpu-processor/

yeah i use it as my main laptop i put 8gb ram and an ssd and it runs smoothly

@@thatoneguywalking hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Supid answer!!!! IT'S FOR BLUETOOTH ADAPTER MORON!!!!!

some models have Bluetooth some others don't

i don't think so i opened mine to replace the thermal paste and It was alright

yeah but don't forget this model is 10 years old and mine hasn't shown any problems since yet
