Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

As I Understand USB ports are not working for your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2039298-1862169-16
(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
When was the last time it worked? Have you attempted a system restore to fix the issue?
While you attempt a system restore or respond to that,
I have a list of steps to help resolve your concern:
- USB device not detected by Windows 7 (no device name in Device Manager) - Possible power requirement issue
- USB storage device is not shown in Safely Remove Hardware window of computers running Windows 7
- USB 3.0 ports stop working after Texas Instruments XHCI controller update
- Windows 7 freezes or data transfers fail when using a USB device
- Error: Activation failure of BIOS USB
- The front USB ports do not work on your desktop PC
- You hear no audio from a newly connected USB audio device when using Windows Media Player 11
- You hear no audio playback after you unplug a USB audio device

Let me know if those steps worked for you,
If they did, that's awesome!

That'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Good Luck
