HP has been using the phrase 'Radiance' for it's IPS panels for a long time. If HP says Envy has one and doesn't make the same claim for dv6t? I can't believe they'd pass up a chance to use the marketing spin claiming a Radiance LCD screen for the dv6t full HD panel if it used them...

A Notebook Review forum post from Andrew Baxter: Re: Envy 15 vs. Pavilion dv6t .... Finally, the ENVY 15 1920 x 1080 screen is an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, the Pavilion dv6t-7000 has a nice 1920 x 1080 screen but it is not the same IPS technology used in the Envy. I've used and...

Crucial V4 CT128V4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Easy Laptop Install Kit $115 lenovo IdeaPad U400 14" Notebook Core i5 2450M(2.50GHz) 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD 5400rpm, DVD±R/RW, 14" 1388x768 LCD, AMD Radeon HD 6470M $580

HP, for example, wants $290 to upgrade from a 500GB 5400rpm HDD to a 160GB SSD. That would leave you just $410 for your other laptop parts. You'd be better off buying a $600 laptop and buying your own 128GB SSD for $100 and making the change yourself.

It's possible - but probably a bad idea. @ $700 a SSD takes up a lot of your budget. That tends to impact other parts CPU/GPU that help you enjoy gaming more.

You can't install a driver if the hardware isn't working. (1) Track down the cause of the USB port failure. Usually, not all the USB ports are on the same hub. That way if there is a hardware problem you still have some USB ports working.

For a no gaming workload you usually buy the best CPU you can.

Probably time to haul it into a repair shop. I don't have enough information to make any more guesses.

To me - it looks more like someone stepped on the laptop lid while closed.

I just look at that picture he linked. It's not one, or a couple. Looks like DOZENS!
