HP Pavilion dv6915nr Notebook old PC. NO OS stated, then you ask for matching drivers for and unstated OS. why do that? its 3 way match. PC chip, match OS match driver matches those. go do control panel,"CP" click system, bingo it tells you there what OS this is. 1: then in CP click device manager. if XP its hidden ask XP btw is DEAD now. (at HP and MS) 4 years dead. Vista freshly dead. 2: the internet must be up and running now, is it????????? 3: right click the bad driver sound. 4: and pick update driver , pick auto, if internet dead so will be this. that is all there is to it, for w7 and up xp an vista are dead now, ask MS why. best is to upgrade to w7, so the PC can be supported. if savvy are you? then you can also LEFT click LC the same chip below. not right click then pick details tab and hardware ids next then post your secret hardware id text sting this an only this tells what chip is there.!!!! my PC HP came new, with 5 optional sound chips only the service tag p/n line tells this fact, and unstated by you.

go to BIOS settings by pressing F2 or del while on POST (exactly after you press the power button and the screen show up). in the BIOS settings,look for "boot device priority" or something like that,usually it's placed on Advanced settings. set the 1st boot device as your hardisk,save the settings,and then restart your computerif it's cannot turned on at all,it might be the battery,maybe you have already done this, but remember that many laptops require that you remove the battery for about 30sec. as well as disconnect the AC power to reset them. Always try to do this when everything seems completely dead. Please let me know if it's working or not,and thanks for using fixya

Open your control panel and go to device manager. There may be a list of unknown devices, if there are then you need to install the drivers for those devices in order to get them working properly.Driver Page for your laptop.Hope this helps!

Make sure that the AC adapter is actually putting out voltage (and the appropriate amount) by connecting the AC adapter to a compatible and known working laptop, or by using a voltage meter. If the AC adapter is good, then make are any lights coming on when you try to turn on the computer? If so, make sure that the computer isn't just sending its video signal out of the port used to connect to an external monitor. Test this by connecting an external monitor or by pressing the fn key and whichever F key represents the toggle to external monitor function. If you are on Windows 7, press the windows key and the p key at the same time. Then, after letting go of both of those keys, use the left-arrow key and then hit enter.If there are no lights at all when you press power, remove the battery, make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in, and then try to turn it on. Sometimes a battery can be so bad that it prevents the AC adapter from properly powering the laptop at all.If none of this works, sounds like you have a hardware failure inside the laptop (could be the video adapter, the power button, or some other motherboard component).

Back Cover?1) Display Cover: The plastic cover that is on the opposite side of the LCD screen. Sometimes referred to as Top Cover.Display Assembly is removed from laptop first, then LCD screen assembly is removed from the Display Cover.2) Base Enclosure: The plastic bottom part of the notebook.A laptop is disassembled from the Top down to the Bottom.The bottom 'cover' (Base Enclosure) is not removed first. It is last.3) There is no back cover per se. Half of the cover for the back (Bottom half) is part of the Base Enclosure. The top half is part of the Palm Rest.(The back has the Vent in it)http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-replace-lcd-screen-inverter-hp-pavilion-dv6000-laptop/http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-compaqhp[Use the dv6700 service manual.

Go HP Support page and chose your Operating System, than install you missing audio drivers.

Start by trying to drain the power from the laptop. To do this, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery. Next, hold the power button down for 30 seconds. Then plug your battery & AC adapter back in and try to power on the laptop. If the problem persists, try turning it on with the battery removed. You can also try carefully removing the memory from the laptop (located in a covered compartment on the bottom of the laptop that is usually user-accessible with a screwdriver) to see if it will stay on longer than a second. You can also check to see if your laptop is still under warranty here:

Hello,
This is likely to be as a result of your processor over-heating, maybe because of your environment, possibly because the air-vent is blocked, or because the fan is not cooling the processor properly again.
Therefore my suggestion would be for you to unscrew your laptop (If you can do it by yourself), and try to clean, or better still replace your processor fan.
Also clean the air-vent where air is supposed to enter the laptop If you cant do it by yourself, you can easily get a technician to do it for you.
Also, remove all your RAM(Memory Sticks), and clean the tip of the connector with an eraser, and re-insert it one after the other.
That is, if you have two of them, after you insert the first one, put on your system and see if it works, then do the same thing with the other one.
If the two of them works, them insert the them all. but if it is just one that worked, just remove the other one that is not working and replace it.
If the two of them are not working, then try to get a RAM of the same type to test it with, either from a friend or a technician.
I have actually had the same case before, and after doing what I've just told you, it stopped behaving like that.
Then always make sure that your laptop is in a well ventilated, cool environment and that the environment is free from dusts.
Kindly let me know how it goes after you've tried this.
Hope this helps you out.
Goodluck!

Hi
This laptop was not designed to be supported by Windows 7. After Looking on the internet for a suitable driver, there appears not to be one that will work with Windows 7 and the Vista driver will not function under the Win 7 OS. I think that you may have to consider getting an external webcam for this laptop :-(

Maybe setting of shutdown start begining, try to restore system setting.Thx

Please reset your jumber . Other ways you lost your motherboard please change it. BIOS update is a risky task.

Glad to HELP YOU!

Your AUDIO hardware is
Audio Adapter Conexant Cx20561 @ nVIDIA MCP67 - High Definition Audio Controller
and the manufacturer is INTEL.

HERE you have the driver in case you will need it - it's the first one on the page under the link
Download audio adapter conexant cx20561 @ nvidia mcp67 - high definition audio controller.

in your device manager right click on the sound device and uninstall it.Windows should reinstall it correctly.

We do not say that the hard drive is damage maybe the IDE was faulty already. You may open your laptop and check the hard drive. Try to replace the IDE to check if the hard drive is good.

Hello there:
you have a couple of options here
first go to control panel>>system> hardware manager.
right click on the sound and audio device update driver.
let windows find the driver, and install it. and if this doesent work
i highly recommend dowloading vinal ac 97 this is a free audio suite that features a mixer device and a eqalizer that gives the sound a boost i use it in a lot of the computers that i repair for people ok
I hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

if you had windows xp or something other than vista make sure your webcam will work with vista if not you'll have to get a webcam that will work with vista 90% of programs will not work with vista unless it has vista on it sorry for the bad news
