HP released a BIOS update for its AMD-based Compaq Presario V6000z and HP Pavilion dv6000z/dv9000z series of laptops. It appears this is only for the models that came BEFORE the x500 series refresh [example: laptops that came BEFORE the dv6500z, dv9500z, etc].
The BIOS version is F.40.

The WinFlash Utility is used to locally flash the System BIOS (ROM) on notebooks operating in a Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista environment. PRODUCT MODEL(S): Compaq Presario V6000 Notebook PC Series HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook PC Series HP Pavilion dv9000 Notebook PC Series PURPOSE: Routine SOFTPAQ NUMBER: sp40313 SUPERSEDES: sp39469, sp38061, sp38061 EFFECTIVE DATE: August 08, 2008 CATEGORY: BIOS SSM SUPPORTED: YES ENHANCEMENTS: - Updates the fan control algorithm of the notebook to reduce the likelihood of future system issues.
It appears to combine F.3D's "fan algorithm" quick fix [an attempt to increase the lifespan of these particular laptops, if you don't remember], with whatever it was F.3F added. Probably no need for those with F.3D to upgrade, and probably good for those with F.3F who want to go back to F.3D.
A reminder: It stands to reason that, if you have a BIOS version GREATER than F.40, that this BIOS update is not applicable for your system.
new BIOS for original AMD-based Presario V6000z, Pavilion dv6000z, dv9000z: version F.40
