I have the dv6-6121tx, now out of warranty
I'm facing the common 90B fan error on startup and another problem is that the fan noise in my laptop is more when integrated graphics are on. The fan noise comparatively reduces when using the GPU. And to my disgust the noise begins right from the time I start my laptop, even if its hours later I'm using it.
How is this explained and is there any way to get around this problem at my home or should I tend to a HP service? In the BIOS settings I have the Fan Always ON option turned off.

And what is the actual price of a genuine HP dv6 6-cell battery replacement?

Head to your service or call hp if u r still in warranty.However you should enable FAN ALWAYS ON..Restore default settings on BIOS.

As for the cost of genuine 6 cell MU-06 battery,Its around 5400 bucks.

12.6 is perfect for all users,I haven't heard a single issue with it from any dv6 user.As for 12.10,it works perfectly fine in dynamic mode.I advice you to go for 12.10 if you are under dynamic settings for GPU or 12.6,if u have fixed settings for gpu,like me.

BTW,my battery too failed last night,with some error code....and now it hardly gives 2 hour of backup in power saving mode...Luckily I had taken complete cover which included battery and charger under claim...I have got the claim approved,and the engineer is scheduled to visit coming monday.:-o
I was shocked how the battery wear rose to 57% from a mere 4% within just a few days and not so much usage.I can safely assume now that the life of HP battery is 1yr.All the members who have their warranty left should get their battery thoroughly inspected.

Their is no warranty for battery. They won't replace at any cost until it comes in accidental damage cover.

But they are replacing my battery.........i'm myself surprised,as while purchasing the extended complete cover,they had clearly mentioned that battery and charger will nt be covered.My lappy is 6 months out of 1st yr warranty,however when i complained,they promptly sent a new battery.Engineer visit is scheduled for monday...:)

Good for you if they replace your battery for free.
All those batteries in the list are imported from US. Not a single seller is from India. :?
Can you ask your friend how many backup he gets from this ATC Battery? And how much time cart2india take to deliver.

Got a brand new battery,hp engineer didnt say a word and exchanged the 1.5yrs old battery!!!!!!

@ rider
The ATC battery is same in every respect......Backup is a bit more,may be because my friend has a core i5 powered dv6 6154tx.
