The General: pls i use hp pavillion dv6 (8gb ram, 600gb dd.) the fingerprint reader is nomore working after doing new installation. pls any help?

You probably haven't installed the driver. Which DV6 model exactly? I need to know so I can find the driver for you. Also, usually there's a program on your PC which includes all drivers (unless you installed from a retail Windows CD). You can check for drivers CDs that came with your laptop as well.

StarFlux: Well, I have an old laptop with Vista which I use for storage, and it has 1,5GB RAM and it runs fine, but I have nearly no background programs running. You need to close the programs. Do you know how to disable startup applications?

No i don't how will i do that please

StarFlux: Most laptops will do that just fine. Get something with a 2+ Ghz dual core and Intel 4000 GPU graphics or similar from AMD.

thanks

mjksho: i have a compaq 615 laptop that refused to display anything on the screen even with d power and wireless lights on,the fan is also working! It runs on AMD athlon and i was told dat getting an AMD motherboard is a serious task.i changed d board after several months search and the i encountered d same problem after three weeks usage.how do i overcome this? Or should i just get a new laptop but the money is the issue coz i'm still a student and my income is limited.

GET A NEW LAPTOP
I too had to dump my HP 9910us laptop
Changed to a new motherboard which failed after 3weeks
Its an HP problem seeing the video chips (mostly NVIDIA/some ATI) were not properly soldered to the motherboard
Dont beef AMD
HP's a$$ got sued like mad in the states over this issue which affected many HP laptop series
If you get a VERY GOOD technician to help reflow the chip(that is IF),you are good to go but I recommend you get another preferably DELL if you can afford it

Read this, please. Disable all the unecessary programs. You can always launch them later.

Brand really is not a big deal, but if you have a bad experience with HP, try something new. I have a great experience with Asus.

StarFlux: Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot.

i saw that. when i googled d problem.i have attempted that too.it didn't work.i also discovered that wen i gave it to a guy in computer village to repair after d first blackout,d speed dropped from 2.2ghz to 2.0ghz.and barely 3wks after repair it is stll d same.i dnt just know wat to do!

Topic, haven't seen the driver for my fingerprint hardware...using a hp pavilion entertainment notebook pc with win 8...while using win 7 before upgrading, never saw it online from hp store...help needed....thanks

I disagree.... I use the same system as yours, mine is Icore3. It's very silent even when I am running large programs that eats up ram. PES 2012 and AutoCAD 2010 runs flawlessly on it without noise or excessive heat. It's currently serving me well with no issues at all.

Before that I used pavillion dv6000 on Vista. This has no issues at all as well. It's still working fine till date.

Before the pavilion, I used an Hp omnibook XE3 for over 5years. Its operation is cool as well and served me all through my uni days. I remember finalist tech students always begging to borrow it for their seminars and defense. It was so reliable and strong.

So I have never had any issues with hp laptops in the last 13 years that I have been using them. Maybe cos they were all bought in the UK or yours could be the types produced for middle east and Africa , I do not know. I bought 2branded Dell desktop in between those years and they both failed me within 2years of use.

well,i guess it is different strokes for different folks, as they say. Just that I cannot explain why that would be the case.I was scared at first when i noticed the anomaly, but when i googled the issue and found several people with similar cases, i had to give assume this was more of a general issue from the company, maybe a new technical issue. i bought mine in moscow, by the way

That's strange. It dropped to 2Ghz? You sure the processor wasn't just throttling? Anyway, it seems like it's a lost cause. You sure the repair man didn't change the processor with a weaker one?

Anyway, there's not much else you can do it seems.

Mjksho has the same problem.

Make sure you didn't disable the screen with a key-shortcut, and try this: Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot.

StarFlux: I can't post it on Nairaland, it doesn't work.

It is very odd.

the whole situation just saddens me.

thanks all the same

Type this into google: tx2517cl
Press the first link, then to go drivers & downloads.

Pick W7 64 - press next - then go to security software. It will work on W8.

Yeah Very frustrating when things like this happens.

francescainnoce: Thanks for this thread as I am about to get my laptop tomorrow.
Please help me out ; im a lover of mini laptops and I am pretty confuse as I am to choose from Samsung 13" and Hp 14".
Both are Intel i3 and both have pretty much space...
Please help which should I go for
Hp or Samsung.
Thou I don't intend to use it for game , but definitely to see movies and do my school works.
Thanks

If you do not intend to play games on it, your good to go. Go with Samsung for the sole reason that

you can get support in nigeria if something where to happen unlike HP.

why dose my system hang when ever i open google? it just started abt a week ago.
