I have this laptop, xp is ALOT better than the Vista software. Mine works nice, but yes. The wireless can be kinda..ergh. Other than that, mine works great. Maybe it’s how you use the computer. Too many viruses can and will ruin a computer.

I have the intel duocore version of this laptop for about 3 years. I purchased it from BJ’s club. And the only real problem is also the battery is shot..But thanks to Ebay i got a lager 12 cell battery for about $40.00usd. Also I Just upgraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate and now it really screams!!! oh yeah the cooling fan is a bit noisy but i will be replacingit myself for about $20.00.

I have had my HP for about three years and have not had a single problem with it. If I was offered a brand new Dell in exchange for it today I would not accept the exchange. My experience with my HP DV6000 Entertainmnet PC has made me an HP loyal fan.

Hey, hows it going, I’m having similar problems with my hp dv6000.
Any chance you live in Dublin, Ireland because maybe you could give me the number of the guy who fixed it for you?
Thanks

Just finished talking with HP about HP Pavilion dv6000, the Device Manager not see the wireless adapter. Did some research and found there was a recall for: The notebook does not detect wireless networks and the wireless adapter is not detected in the Device Manager.

HP says this warrenty expired and now they want to charge $259.00 plus service taxes to replace the motherboard as they admit that’s the problem, it was a faulty motherboard from the beginging.

Even before this happened, we couldn’t stay connected to a wireless network no longer than 10, maybe 15 minutes before we had to right click and do a repair on the wireless connection icon. My Dell laptop would stay connected to the same network until I shut the computer down.

HP is not a good product and we’ll never buy HP again.

Mine had the motherboard go, the WiFi did not work and the video was shot, thanks HP. HP shook me down for $300 for the repair a month after their BS warranty expired – and I paid it. These should have been recalled but HP was too cheap to do it. Those F-ers will never get another PC purchase out of me.

Well, I have owned my dv6000 for approximately 3 yrs, and I can honestly say that I have not had any
problems as of yet. My wife used it for two years while she was working on her master’s degree. I have a Pentium dual-core processor; I don’t know if that makes a difference or not. I have really enjoyed my dv6000 so far, and I hope it continues to operate.

I bought my HP DV6000 during my vacation in TX last February. It was on sale at SAM’s Warehouse club with 248$ price tag + 8% tax. Not bad for a laptop! And yes, the only problem I have encountered so far is the battery life, at full charge, maybe I can only use it for an hour, so I have to bring the power cord with me always.

had hp dv6000 series for 2years gently used, problem after problem, first off it overheats, second my cord just caught fire one day for no reason I purchased a compatible hp cord from best buy it supposedly made my motherboard die according to hp service tech. and they would not repair for free although my warranty doesn’t expire to 2010.

so disappointed in hp
