Codename47 wrotewell, i have a dv6
the first problem i had was the battery and i changed it
then there were dead cells in the screen and i changed it too
fortunately these were during the warranty period
now
the battery failed again
the over heating is always there (probably the main cause of the recent problem
and the start button and the speaker are not working (a popular problem in the DV6
until recently it stopped working and it is not turning on and there is no sign that it is receiving any electricity
not even the fan...
If you're facing all these problems, i'd recommend that you change your laptop.
Repairing such problems will definitely cost you a fortune.
They do hate people, especially the ones in a hurry (like me). But still, they're professionals.
If you want to replace a battery, i highly recommend that you visit GCC store. Yesterday, i bought one battery, and one AC adapter for 50$ each. Tell the owner that Mireille Raad recommended that you visit his shop, a d get the battery. You might get some discounts :P
