Watch disassemble video and do it for free.

Did you buy HP adapter? COz the same thing happens to me when I plug in my roommate's dell adapter.

Help me out man. Same problem here. How much did they ask you for changing it?? BTW only the back panel needs to be replaced.

Help needed

in my case both the upper and lower parts needs to be replaced.. as both of the screw holders were damaged
hp was quoting 4000 for the lower back panel alone.. and i guess they wont charge less than 3k for the upper

i managed to use it for 2 months without closing the lid.. but i had to take the laptop somewhere so closed it once.. and when i opened it up it was scary to look at as the whole power button was coming off powering it on and off automatically at various positions and i thought it might effect the motherboard..

i told that guy to arrange parts ( by an jugad if possible )

he is taking 2500 and going to replace both upper and lower parts.. since this is going out of warranty , i don't want to take any chances at all so it is better to pay 2500 now and at least this laptop will serve me another 2 years ..

4k for the back panel??? Damn!!! The back panel is available online at 1500 bucks.

Yea.. using HP adapter

That's strange! Claim warranty on the adapter.

Anyone have an idea if the laptops with dedicated graphics cards are bottlenecked by the CPU??

They are. For instance there was a laptop by MSI that did pair an A10 proccesor with HD7970M

 

[DVJex]

Ohk. But i'm talking about the less high end cards. Like a 7670M.

Yes for instance G6-2005AX types. Can't exactly say if the trouble is in dual GFX setup or CPU but very often I feel that i3+7670m is better than A8-4500M+7670M

 

[DVJex]

Ohk. It is probably with the CPU. The extra processor speed must help.

CPU bottleneck is more pronounced in the low end. Games like Crysis 3, Watch_Dogs tend are susceptible to CPU bottleneck.

Hello i have a HP Pavilion G6 2010ax....I want a help from all g6 2005, g6 2314 ax users....What is the temperature of your hdd when you put your laptop under full load like gaming and using it.

Mine reaches to 50 degree.

I tested using crystal disk mark..but the hdd which i am using shows operating temperature 0-60 degree is ok.

So please tell me yours temp

 

[Chaitanya]

Mine goes around like 46-48

Mine goes around like 46-48

Once it also reached to 55 ...My HDD is new.Its hitachi.I have formatted windows also fresh install.I asked Hitachi they said they will send a refurb hdd in replace .

is their anything i can do to keep it cool

 

[Chaitanya]

Nothing to worry about.
Velociraptors easily go to 60.

BTW the summer screws up with temperatures very bad.
right now my CPU is at 65 as I'm simply browsing & torrenting whereas in winters for same temperatures are around 24-27 so you see how it goes.

does hwinfo shows cPU temperature as 95-105 *C for you guys as well ...like this ?

Repaste using Arctic Silver V.

Repaste using Arctic Silver V.

got cleaning and pasting done recently 5 days ago by service center...
the chassis is cool as well
i think this is a problem with all AMD trinity CPU somebody download and confirm

thanks

The G6 series is notorious for poor heat dissipation... It's also plagued by thermal shutdown issues... Since, this all are due to the poor build of the laptop, the only thing you can do is clean and repaste the laptop regularly... Like every month or so...
Also, the thermal paste layer may have been put too thick!!!

i think its the problem that we can't use 7670m alone.. it always runs in 7670m + 7640g .. crossfire is well known for having problems with stuttering unsupported games .. so theoretically a game could be running at 60 fps but due to micro stuterring it may seem sluggish and slowish..

but it works great and is really useful when the game is optimized

if we can run 7670m alone then i think you won't find any difference between A8 4500m + 7670m and i3 + 7670m


can you run the hwinfo64 and report what is your CPU temperature ? thanks

yeah that's the problem with Hp amd laptops but my laptop has been recently serviced and is running very cool as well.. earlier i thought that the Temperature Sensor must be faulty or something for reporting wrong temperature but googling about it i found out 1 reply that stated there is a problem in Hwinfo64 so just wanted to confirm is it the problem with everyone ? then i can ignore the temps reported by hwinfo64 and speccy

^ check temperature using CoreTemp. *www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/php/download.php?id=3

Check if you can disable it. The drivers i installed initially(12 or 13 something) allowed me to disable crossfire, but the later ones for some reason didnt.
