Use left side USB ports they are USB 3.0 and the right one are USB 2.0. They automatically enable just like old USB 2.0

I am facing the same problem from few weeks. The fan makes rattling noise (specially in morning) as if the screw is untightened or there is some dust particles.This noise is temporary and once i hit up slowly with my hand on the bottom the noise goes off. but still the fan is running slow and making "krrrr.."
noise. I wanted to open the laptop and check it myself. If someone can guide me how to open up the complete laptop so as to see the fan that would be very helpfull. If you can even link me to a video on youtube showing how to open up hp dv 6121tx.
thank you.

Guys please help me....WHile updating drivers,I tried installing beats driver from the latest dv6 7000 series laptops.The driver installed successfully,but no sound came.I removed it,and installed my original drivers.But it seems,that the lappy is picking up traces of old driver(7000 series) as the beats logo is new one(bigger) and the sound isnt coming).Please help me to install my genuine drivers and remove all traces of 7000 series driver.
Only time laptop is producing sound is when IDT is being uninstalled from laptop.
Thanks.

Does Catalyst 12.10 actually make ANY difference in performance whatsoever? Or for that matter, any difference at all? I tried installing it 3 times, and got no error message at any of the installations, yet graphics properties still shows 12.6... I'm confused...
Also, Leshcat drivers are written by an independent 3rd party, right? Are they safe? Is there a definite increase in performance.

Yes, 12.10 boosts performance a little bit. Try to completely uninstall 12.6 and then install 12.10.

@Rider, you were absolutely right. The problem was the adapter. How did I miss it?
I tried connecting my dell laptop's charger and voila! it powered on... after all these days. The HDD is still on the verge of death (C: is almost destroyed). Planning to buy a 128 GB SSD.
During my desperate ripping apart session, I had dislodged the CMOS battery holder from the board. Had little trouble soldering it back on. A note to all users: Never try to remove the CMOS battery as the holder is made of very hard plastic. Doing so may disconnect and remove holder from the motherboard.
I'm a lot happy now knowing that damages are comparatively minimal..
On side note, I was going through the 16v 120W charger listed on eBay. How is this one?eBay Flipkart or other online stored doesn't seem to stock the 120W ones.

I would suggest you to get original 120W HP adapter though it costs pretty much around 2.5k

I'm not able to find it online. I'm currently in trivandrum. Are you suggesting to buy locally from shops/dealers who stock HP laptops?
rider

You can buy online from here. Theitdepot - HP 120W Laptop Power Adapter - Original (OEM)
And Leshcat drivers? Are they recommended? Any performance boost?

Once I used leshcat drivers I found issue in battlefield 3 with it. The game start hanging and moves to desktop. I recommend you to download the original AMD Catalyst 12.10. It works like charm for me.

Hi all. I own a DV6-6121. Been following this thread since 6 months but didn't find the need to post anything until now.
I have installed Windows 8 ( thanks prashant for mentioning about entropy), not a clean install but a dirty one. And here the issues I am facing :-
1)Laptop is as slow as a dead snail now . I think this has something to do with graphics driver (more about this below) or dirty install . Installed the amd switchable driver provided by prashant, it showed an error during installation (something realated to sdk) although switching is working fine.
2)WIFI is acting weird. Low signals and pages are taking ages to load. (this is after installing the updated version of brodocom wfii driver)
3) Cool sense is no where to be found.

I am trying to install F1 2012, but the game loads and when I press the start button(Enter key) the game crashes to the desktop. I have checked the solution on the net and COdemasters said the game doesn't work with notebooks. BUT if we switch the graphic card to fixed in BIOS then it works in the netbook as well. Many users of same model are running the game but I am not able to play. It is just keeps crashing. They suggested to upgrade the drivers. I did even that, installed catalyst 12.9 but still not able to play this game. Anyone here tried it? Or do you have solutions for it??
Please help me. I very badly want to play it. I tried very method and this is the last glimmer of hope I have!!

I uninstalled the leshcat drivers as some weird errors started to crop up.So, I decided to install the original AMD Catalyst 12.10 drivers. But, according to their website info,Notebooks with switchable graphics are not supported with the latest drivers. Still, I downloaded and installed and chose "custom installation". It said "Display Drivers are up to date" although they are not.
How did you manage to install the latest drivers?
