My new DV6-6165tx laptop arrived on this 25th Feb.
Ordered from flipkart.com in 58K INR.
1 strange issue I am facing is that when I plug the charger, the metal surface (laptop top surface, touch pad side area with Windows & Intel Logo) getting some electric discharge or may be due to some earthing issue, a minor current is feels continuously.
Is it dangerous for laptop component?
what is the solution for this problem as I have used other HP laptop charger also & the problem is still d same.

Yes, it is VERY dangerous for your laptop. Get your house checked for earthing issues and use a surge protector to be on safe side.

As I live in a rented house it will difficult to ask the landlord to spend on Earthing solution.
Is there any device like any particular power strip which can solve this issue?
As I searched on internet abt surge protector, it protects laptop from high voltage or fluctuations only. It doesn't do any thing with the Grounding current.
Pls suggest

bro why don't u use "driver genius professional" software to update the drivers it automatically download and install the drivers.
As i check the current version is 12.1 not 12.3 so i suggest not use the driver from the site may be they for the other ati card..

In all probability the issue is with the earthing of the building and not with the laptop itself. I have had similar experience with an N70 connected to a laptop and i have verified that it occurs only at my home. I'd advise you to check your laptop at some other building(Not another room or apartment within the same building).
Try it first. should solve your doubt. BTW leakage current potentially harmful to the computer.
And when using other chargers, make sure they are compatible (power ratings atleast).

Hi,
I am trying to play some old games like Counter Strike 1.6, GTA Vice City in wide screen mode on my HP DV6-6165tx but the games are not running in widescreen or full screen. Running only in 1024X768 resolution.
Even in the video settings of game I have selected highest resolution but still it is not running on widescreen. A wide black strip is showing on both sides
Can you pls suggest the solution as I have already updated the Graphics drivers. The Graphic mode is Fixed with the High performance as active GPU?
My WEI is also showing 6.9 for gaming graphics.
Don't know what to do now.
Pls help guys.........
Thanks pranav......
I plugged the laptop in my office & its working fine. No leakage current.
Thank god its not the laptop fault.
I will make sure that this earthing issue of my house gets resolved by landlord ASAP.

Sorry mate didn't read your 'replaced' in the previous post
I don't think they will replace it, only repair it under ADP.

Get a surge protector for sure, preferably from Belkin. It should keep your laptop on safe side, but get the earthing checked for sure.
You bash it on floor, and they'll replace

They'll replace for sure if the laptop is beyond reparable damage.

So that would mean that after 11 months of purchase I 'accidently' throw it out of the window they'll replace ???

as per the reviews of 6770M Graphic card, it is able to withstand with the games coming upto next 1-2 years.
ofcourse you wont be able to play all games on ultra settings but on mid/low setting they will work fine.
I have 6165tx with 6770 2GB card & all games like NFS RUN, GTA4 working fine.
Dell's only high end laptops are good in build quality. the inspiron & vostro series are not that good. If you want to go for a overpriced but better laptop then go for Dell XPS or Alienware series.
Consider Asus K53SV also. A very good laptop in under 50K.
heating is common issue in all gaming laptops. As I used to play games for long duration I haven't found any heating problem in my laptop....thanks to the HP cool sense technology....on a safe side u can opt for a cooling pad too.....

I live in a rented house too and I had the same earthing problem leading to electric discharge.
Thing is that not a single electrical outlet in the whole house did the earthing worked, however the outlets with 15amps or more (where you would normally plug in the Fridge or the AC or any power hungry device) had earthing working on it.
So what I did was to just pull a wire from the earthing point to the point that i use for my laptop and solved (no more electrical discharge).
i suggest you check if there is earthing on the heavy electrical points and you could also resolve the issue without investing heavily on earthing solutions.
you can yourself test if a particular point has earthing or not..be careful and take precautions so as not to electrocute yourself.(Better take a help of a local electrician)
1.take 2 wire and connect with a bulb holder along with a bulb
2. then put the two open ends to the plug, one in the live line and another end to the neutral end
3. switch on the supply & check brightness
4.switch off supply & plugged out wire from neutral end & put it into earthing point
5. switch on the power, check brightness ,if it is same as before then EARTHING is very good if not then there is a problem with the earthing point

Hey Saurav, thanks for brilliant suggestions.
I did check on all the power points in my house including heavy load point also but this leakage current issue is common with all points.
You wrote that "So what I did was to just pull a wire from the earthing point to the point that i use for my laptop and solved (no more electrical discharge)."
Can you pls let me know in detail how exactly you did it.
Thanks
