Good to know yours is doing ok.
There was a time even I used to think HP is a good brand,much better vfm than Dell.
Bought a dv6 2005ax after reading a very long thread in another Indian forum(same things discussed to death here like heating problem has resolved,built is great,ASS has improved etc.etc)Some experienced member from TE warned me repeatedly about the dv6 series,ignored them,bought it and was very happy for first 6-8 months or so..it was much better in handling games than the Dell studios(xps was much more expensive at that time)
Then the magic started..first the logic board,then lcd(twice in two months)the list is pretty long..thought I had a lemon,but the repeated visit to hp service made me realize that the series is in fact an orchard and naturally I got a lemon.
Even a service center guy told me that 90%of people who come for repair with in the first year have dv6 or dv4.
And the HP service is really very bad,they will lie to you at random,delay your repairs,will try to fool you in every way possible.
The 3 year extended warranty is a joke!Do you know anyone who bought it with dv6 from hp directly?It is a convoluted process and most of the service centers have no clue.
Their India website is a mess,they have changed the location in kolkata more than 1 year ago but the site shows the old address!!
No wonder they are packing up the hardware business(spin off or whatever fu*k you call it)
Look what have the done to Compaq and Palm!!
I will avoid HP like a plague.
P.S I am no Dell fanboy either.Except for the mighty thinkpad all other windows laptops are sh*t anyway!
, we should understand it as a marketing strategy..their sales must hv fallen down 
and see the magic!!
