Hmmm yeah I tried the Ralink driver. It went through the usual process of first extracting into C:/SWsetup and running the actual setup from there. But when it opens the actual setup, I see a command prompt screen for half a second. Then nothing happens, I suppose it crashes.
I can't understand what to do now, I really need WiFi. I've tried to run it in compatibility mode, I've tried to redownload the driver. I tried to manually point windows to the folder in SWSetup that was created, but it found nothing...
Dude, have you installed Windows 8 or Windows 7? Coz there are known driver compatibility issues with Windows 8.

Guys,I'm having some software related issues with my dv6...
1.Can coolsense be installed as a stand alone software.I installed latest version of SUpport Assistant and Coolsense stopped working.
2.In fixed mode,and post Catalyst 12.6,I have tried every driver from AMD.And every single one has low brightness problem in discrete graphics mode.By low brightness issue,I mean that brightness is stuck at lowest,and only way to solve it is to switch graphics,and its really irritating.
These two issues are preventing me to fully enjoy my PC....Please help

Download and install dell quick set app from your laptop driver page, now open windows mobility center, it'll have the desktop charge mode and longevity mode option, in my laptop I can just press a dedicated button on the laptop to open this.
Use desktop charge mode from windows mobility center, also turn on battery longevity mode.
An example of what it looks after you install dell quick set
Mine has extra options for battery, will post a pic tomorrow, net connection is completely fu(cked up atm.
Update:
Here's what mine looks like:

PS: Aero is turned of due to auto battery saver setting which can be configured from those dell battery options, I chose this settings to maximize battery life after a single charge.
Longevity mode is used when charging the laptop after say 50-60% discharge and on a non regular cycle, desktop mode is used for continuous charge.
Well, now your search ends
Longevity mode blocks charging upto 80%, desktop mode does the same upto 60%.

Hi All,
Need your help i am having HP DV6-6165tx and i am having problem with my base enclosure it is having crack. 2 months back i seen a crack near by the subwoofer. And i tried to fix that but the plastic was so cheap that it got worse so i used (M Seal) industrial grade epoxy compound to make the exact design to cover that broken plastic and hide that with colourful tape. But now again i am having one more crack near by the DVD drive. I am the only person who is using the laptop and let me assure that the laptop never fell or hit to something that will cause this breakage.Now i am not sure whether i should call HP for the replacement or not cause they might cover this in physical breakage but as i already told this is not physical breakage.So want to ask what should i do and feeling that why i bought this laptop i would have gone for dell.

@SHivesh
Bro,you've greatly messed up your laptop near the speakers.
However I do admit that there is a design flaw near the dvd writer drive that the crack has appeared.On my laptop alone,I have changed the base enclosure 3 times.However I changed when the crack was fine,and hence hp could not detect it.The plastic there is so fine and soft that it is bound to get cracked even if you mishandle it a little.That is a design flaw,though hp wont admit it.

I had similar cracks near the front speakers. HP replaced my Laptop's base enclosure under Accidental Damage protection.

Guys,I need a help.
I noticed an issue which did nt went even after overclocking.
In my laptop,6770m is default clocked at 725/800 for Core/Memory clock.However even after playing the most demanding of games like far cry 3,battlefield 3,crysis 3 etc,GPU Z showed 725/200 as the maxm frequency.
I overclocked it to 850/950...The memory frequency maxm was still stuck at 256.5MHz.
Is there something wrong with my laptop??

Try removing all amd stuff (graphics driver+ccc+other bundled packages) from your system and then re-installing everything......

The DVD Writer errors have started again. Whenever i try to burn a DVD, the burn process is successful, but during the verification stage, hundreds of read sector errors crop up and Nero hangs forcing me to close the application. The DVD is corrupted. However, CDs are burned successfully and verified.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drive from Device Manager
I have also tried installing the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers
Of course, I have tried to write many DVDs but unfortunately, in every DVD Data Verification fails due to too many errors. The DVDs cannot be read in other computers too.
Should I get my DVD Drive replaced? I have extended warranty.
P.S. The drive reads other discs fine. Only that it doesn't write properly

^ I have answered this somewhere on this thread. Its got nothing to do witht he hardware. Reinstall Intel RST drivers. If that doesnt fix it, then its an OS reinstall. You might change the drive, but that wont help much.
