Currently replaced with the HDD. Waiting for the caddy to arrive for the drive switching.




No. The back cover has no stickers, and you should be allowed to replace the components that you can from there. And you can always replace the HDD back if you want to, before calling the SVC guy.

From where you are getting caddy? Please share the link here I am also interested. And for how much you paid for Samsung 830 Series 128GB?

Do you get the caddy? How much it costs you in INR? Will it fit with any SSD brand and model into our dv6?

Is there any other software that can be used for the fingerprint recognition-cum-password manager? The current one is really buggy.

Have you used core-i7 in some other laptop? core-i7 processor doesn't mean that windows will run super lightning fast it means your laptop can handle bigger task in less time. The speed is also depend on disk speed and OS. Your laptop has 5400rpm HDD that is average. I suggest you to plug a SSD for C drive if you care about windows speed.

bro! what is SSD? i dont know.. plz tell me in detail! where can i find it and how much does it costs???

Hello everyone!

I finally got my SSD yesterday. A Samsung 830 Series 128GB. Installed it right away in my 6121TX and the system is now blazing fast!

Here is a result from Crystal Mark:

Beats Audio is a gimmick. You are better off with the default windows audio drivers. For HP Coolsense, you have to install HP Assistant first.

come on man. i dont wanna go offtopic but if properly configured that BEATS audio thing has made me discard anything else that i used to play music in. Its amazing. just try it and tweak the settings. What do other users have to say? please, rider and prashant, what do you say?

Beats audio is not completely gimmick. It really enriches the sound quality for me. If its gimmick why people are spending lots of money on beats headphones, htc phones and hp laptops?

Well, there are 2 kinds of people:
1. Who like neutral sound.
2. Who like to pimp their sound with all the available embellishments.

I fall into the first category. There is no right or wrong, just preference.
Get a good pair of cans, and you will know how your precious Beats audio screws up the sound.
And please, don't mention Beats headphones. Try a few pairs before passing the judgement.

Can someone help me in installing Window 8 on 6121tx? I tried installing, but failed since the current Windows 7 installation that came with the laptop is in UEFI mode. Is there a way I can change the BIOS to Legacy mode so I can dual boot Windows 8 with Ubuntu?

I don't think it will fit in your dv6. It is a keyboard for 17" dv7 laptop. Search for dv6 laptop and share with us here.

Hey guys, A 6165tx user here,
Can anybody tell me how to enable efi boot mode?. I was planning to install Windows 8 in UEFI mode. But when i checked the BIOS there is no option to boot in EFI mode.
Did HP disabled that option? I think most of the boards these days will have EFI option right?

What is EFI mode? And how you much windows 8 costs to you? Have you purchased your dv6 before 2 june?
