Talk:HP Pavilion

message: What exactly do we want this article to cover?  I've looked at the Dell Inspiron and Dell Latitude pages for ideas--probably a history of the brand, problems, etc.  I believe this page needs to be expanded as it is a brand commonly associated with the HP name.WasAPasserBy 05:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed. I find the graphs/charts of dimensions, included features, etc., to be unnecessary and confusing.  Does anyone think they should be deleted?WasAPasserBy (talk) 22:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Also agree.  This is an encyclopedia, not a sales guide.  The detail that these tables go into is completely unnecessary.  --Resplendent (talk) 22:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I use to update these tables myself, but now, HP has been updating so many products.  By the time I update the table, it's probably outdated, so i've already created some pages for the dv4, dv5 and dv7 notebooks and placed tables there.  I deleted the tables on the main HP page.  If people want tables, it should go into the separate pages for each model.  This way, when newer models come out, the info of these models will stay, instead on being removed from the main page in order to fit the new data. Ollirac (talk) 01:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Current models

message: Please don't remove the tables. The information has been helpful in researching for insurance claims. In fact, I would like to see more details on the older models. 
Thanks for all your hard work.

replies: text: Could you please elaborate as to how the information is used to research insurance claims? HP provides product documentation for each specific model, either by model or specifc model number (ex dv6000 or dv6XXX). On another note, HP constantly updates/changes features available for each laptop, and does a complete model refresh about every two years. Tables changed to reflect these changes would undoubtably become lengthy.WasAPasserBy (talk) 01:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Tables

message: Posting this information here to help other who may be looking for a solution to the same problem I encountered.
It's been a great laptop (my dv6000) but occasionally after trying to get it to wake up from sleep mode, the screen would stay dark.
Upgrading the BIOS was one option, but this did not help. In fact, it went into a loop where it would try to startup, and then would shut off again endlessly.
I was finally able to get into safe mode, and try the second attemp at a solution.
I removed the battery, and now it is not only faster, the blank screen awaken problem is gone. A new battery has been installed now, and it still works fine, so apparently when the battery gets too weak, the display performance can be affected in this model. Aviedit 01:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  One Troubleshooting Note 

message: Does anyone know what the "DV" stands for in HP Pavilion DVxxxx? It would be helpful for knowing the history of this serious of notebooks.
:I don't really know if dv stands for anything, just like other current and previous models (ze, zv, zx, zt, tx, HDX, G) Ollirac (talk) 01:00, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deadvertized 

message: Besides overheating in other models, I see from the online blogs and from personal experience that the touchpad on some models (mine is a dv7) is an issue.  The entire touchpad/right/left click "buttons" are a single unit; the surface, of course, is rigid, and sometimes active, which means that if you move your finger while it rests on a click button, the cursor moves as well.  Also, being rigid, sometimes a left click will cause a right click and vice versa.  The click portion is very stiff and causes fatigue. I feel as if I'm fighting the touchpad and its buttons the whole way.  The keyboard on the unit is very comfortable and well designed. Too bad the touchpad is such an clunker.

message: Why is the clear template used here? The only thing it seems to be doing is creating unnecessary white space that breaks the flow of the article.
