On this specific configuration yes but most other pavilion dv6 laptops do not have a backlit keyboard unfortunately.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Oh that really is a great configuration for the price! Have fun with it!

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Unfortunately I have no idea what the problem could be. You should definitely check if all the drivers are up to date, maybe that helps.

@quirap450 6 лет назад

i have a DV6 also but there is no backlight in it? or what key do I need to push it to open will it be functional? is there any way that I may replace my keyboard with a backlight

@MrMattski3 12 лет назад

I have this computer, and im looking at the instructions in the box that my laptop came in, and it shows me where the keyboard backlit button is, but mines a pause button...

@Double00zeven 12 лет назад

Are you pressing the "pause" button to have the key backlights ON?

@doran617 12 лет назад

I just ordered this, I cant wait for it to come in

@Ts4thelegend 12 лет назад

I'm getting one of those! Can't wait till I get it.

Hey ummm just wondering would this relate to my 9 year old HP dv6 3032tx laptop that still works? Thanks.

@micgmendoza3786 11 месяцев назад

My HP dv6 keyboard, which is the identical model in the video, is already erratic or malfunctioning; do you know of any stores where I can buy a replacement?

@khageshize 7 лет назад

how activate finger print scanner and i want drivers for win 7 ultimate

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

That is a really nice configuration, I was also looking at the i5 version but unfortunately it was sold out.

@pauldenotter 12 лет назад

@ TechCentury.. The laptop looks really nice, and I am thinking about buying one, however, I heard stories that the temperature of the laptop goes up a lot when you have it on your lap. It get too hot. Is this true? I would like to know if that is a problem that you are experiencing yourself (or anyone else who reads this and owns a laptop like this).

@TheStartliving 12 лет назад

would this lap top handle hd video editing in programs such as adobe premiere pro, or say final cut pro, also how does it handle with games?

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

You are very welcome. Yes only very view configurations have it.

@TechnikLoftde 11 лет назад

Probably depends on the configuration and usage.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@pauldenotter Hi, I am sorry but I can't really tell you how hot this machine is getting because my dad is using it as a business machine and he has the laptop on the desk all the time with office tasks running. Hopefully somebody else can help.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

No, there is a dedicated button on this machine. Not all dm-6 laptops have this feature though.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

That is great to hear! =)

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Awesome specs! Was there a disc with software drivers included? Otherwise you might find a driver on the HP website or the website from the fingerprint scanner manufacturer.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@soulwarsnerd There are only a few configurations of the dv6 that have the backlit keyboard. Most do not have it.

@Otormanith 11 лет назад

how do you remove the stickers

@The8bitNerdd 11 лет назад

it gets hot with anything really. i always have to stand one side of the laptop up with a bottle or something so it doesnt turn off

@TheSlipKnot981 12 лет назад

my pavilion dv6 -Intel core i7 quad core 2.0 GHZ -8 GB RAM -Radeon Graphics ( i don't know what kind) -1366x768 display My fingerprint scanner software has malfunctioned and I can't redownload it. Any suggestions?

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@MrMattski3 Unfortunately only a few configurations of the dv6 have the backlit keyboard so I assume your configuration is lacking this feature. =(

@LordOfHamy 11 лет назад

@doran617 12 лет назад

@TechCentury I got the 17" laptop though, does that mean its the dv7?

@hundredand8 12 лет назад

One thing to try is to go into the configuration and make sure your comp is using the dedicated video card, other than the intel graphics. That's what its default is set at.

@aaronharrington9709 11 лет назад

Where did you get that for so cheap?

@stbellco 12 лет назад

Is all dv6 series comes with backlit keyboard, any knows??

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Oh wow those overheating issues really suck, besides that very nice specs. I would probably recommend searching amazon for notebook coolers since I personally never used one.

@Ashlandb25 3 года назад

What's the brightness level of this laptop

@Gazrial1 12 лет назад

Just purchased a dv6. Surprisingly well customizable. I upgraded mine to an AMD A10 and a 2 gig Radeon HD 7730 with the nifty back lit keyboard. All in all it ran me 749.99 before taxes. Can't wait to test it out.

@AaribBilal-254 Месяц назад

@ojsgram 12 лет назад

is the gv6 touchscreen?

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

I have never experienced this issue with our dv6 but I left a comment under your video.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@xLightCrane117x No, there are no USB 3.0 ports on this dv6 configuration.

@einstein8839 3 года назад

It's comes with integrated graphic card ??

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@stbellco No, unfortunately not. I only found 2 configurations out of like 10 that had the backlit keyboard. It seems really rare.

@Archeron33 12 лет назад

How's this laptop for games like Lord of the Rings: Online?

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@FunAndJokes Yes unfortunately the backlit keyboard is limited to a small amount of dv6 laptops, I have no idea why HP made that decision.

@Double00zeven 12 лет назад

Thanks bro. I guess mine doesn't have. I can't find it on thw manual.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Well I think it should still work fine in a libary, but it may also depend on the configuration of the machine.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

really nice specs!

i have heat+loud sound problems too, but i'v always supposed it was due to misuse (not putting the laptop on a hard surface and so..) especially that there was no problem in the first months or maybe years of use.

@DreadfulAngel14 Yes there is also a microphone on the laptop next to the webcam. =)

@gjfdthank4475 3 года назад

Hwo many VGA . CARD

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@iishadowxd There are a lot of configurations out there for both series so it is a really tough question. I would probably go with the dv6 because I think it looks way better than the G7.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

@Gadgets6 Thank you very much. It is definitely a good machine!

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

Yes it does.

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

It is a great machine, especially with the Intel processors. Very good value as well.

good review with the proper specs..i m currently using this laptop 2nd gen i5 n in my opinion the gaming is the second best after alienware m17x n definately better than mac but somehow not that good for many of heavy software together but overall the best buys from my side

@DreadfulAngel14 12 лет назад

Is there a microphone with the webcam or just on the pc? Sorry, not really a tech person. :/

@TechnikLoftde 12 лет назад

I would definitely go with the Dell XPS 13, I also have a first look video of this machine on my channel.

@SpencerBoechler 12 лет назад

This laptop is great! I've had minor heating problems but only when running heavy games (gta 4, Crysis 2, skyrim) My only problem with it is that it's kind of loud. The fan whurs get a little annoying. But I'd just invest in a cooling pad.

@SuperFerz 12 лет назад

Actually I like this kind of design: the keyboard is neat and nice (almost similar to my older dv6000) and the cover texture is also nicer, running along the longer side of laptop; better than the dv6-???dx with AMD A8 / A6. (Although these AMD Llano is quadcore and might have higher performance.)
