HP Pavillion dv6000 Win7 x64 Drivers Issue

[gba]

-AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Tech TL-50
-Nvidia nForce 430/GeForce 6150
-2x2048 Corsair VS2GSDS667D2 DDR2 667

I Installed Win7 Ultimate x64 and Nvidia nForce v15.49 chipset drivers. I Installed all available driver updates found on Windows Updates. In Device Manager I still get a question mark on "Other Devices" with two "Base System Devices" submenus not working with yellow exclamation marks.

Anybody know what drivers I may be missing or if I should even care?

TIA for the input.

go into the details tab on them, pull up the Hardware ID, let me know what it is.

Also, whats the actual model of the laptop? dv6000 is the series. Look on the bottom, should say the actual model (maybe something like dv6158 or something).

Thanks Chapbass:

1) There are no details identified
2) It only says dv6000. The part number is RG279UA#ABA

Also, I should mention that there are no peripherals that are not working, as far as I can tell thus far.

Thanks again for the help, Chapbass.

Not a problem.

I believe that model is this one: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=3257768


I'd take a look at the Quick launch buttons, going to guess that would be at least one of them.

Also, if it says no details identified, make sure to pull down the drop down menu and go to hardware ID's. There should be somethin there.

BTW: usually everything will appear to be working, its usually the HP specific stuff. If i remember right the quick launch buttons have a hardware id that has like... hpq or qpc or something like that. Been a little while


Another example is Sonys base system device with an id of AWY0001, which is their away mode driver, helps with power management and such (If I'm remembering this all right...).

Scratch that, just doing a quick look, its the quick launch buttons with an ID of ACPIAWY0001...can't remember the sony one now...thats gonna bug me .

Anyway, let me know whatcha got

EDIT 2: bleh. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/co...h Buttons&v=HP&uid=5&pf=1&pi=3&s=HP&os=64-bit


Try the vista 64bit drivers, should work I would think

Thanks so much Chapbass! While I was away I kept searching for solutions and figured out that it was the Ricoh flash media reader that was begging for drivers. It was working just fine without them, mind you, but once I installed the the Ricoh Vista x64 and x86 drivers I found on Dell's site, device manager was happy again.

Thanks again for the help, it was extraordinary!

 

[Chapbass]

ohh right right right. Weird, I was thinking about those and figured that w7's auto updates would've found them.

Oh well, glad to see you're worked out

Thanks a lot!
