Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your dv6?

The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.

What model wireless network adapter does your notebook have.

On some of the newer dv6 models you have to use the corresponding model bluetooth driver for the model wlan card your notebook has.

If you don't know what model wlan card your notebook has, go to the device manager, click to expand the network adapters device manager category, and there you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.

Hi:

The product number you posted makes your notebook a HP Pavilion dv6t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.

Since it is a CTO model, there are no additional specs for it.

Some model notebooks do not come with built in bluetooth.

If yours has bluetooth, then you would need this driver for it.

This package contains the software required to support the HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless Technology in supported notebook models running a supported operating system. The HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless Technology provides wireless connectivity to other devices from the integrated module of the supported notebooks. It also provides additional Bluetooth Profiles.

If you are getting the message that bluetooth must be switched on, then you may need to install this software, restart the PC and use the software to turn on the bluetooth adapter, then install the above bluetooth driver.

This package provides the HP Connection Manager for the supported notebook models and operating systems.

I don't think that works either. so can my computer not do bluetooth at all?

If you are not seeing a bluetooth icon in the device manager, your notebook doesn't have bluetooth.

The easiest thing to do would be to purchase an external usb bluetooth adapter to add bluetooth.
