I gave "Pete" to my grandson for graduation last year as a joke and he said he took it to college. It took 4 AA batteries> I remember because I also gave him a sleeve of about 16 batteries to keep it going. I don't know if it is still going or not. N. Harr 12/13/13

I purchased one last Christmas. I don't remember what kind of batteries it needed. It did work great.

the parrot we have takes 6 AA batteries, in 2 compartments. It looks identical to this parrot pictured here.

The Pete I bought from Amazon last fall took 4AA batteries and worked just fine.....it still does......that's I about all I can tell you except my grandson had lots of fun with him and so did his parents.

I'm trying to get a charger and running into the same problem. Does your number start with a B too? I do have the box and the camera and the serial numbers are the same. It's a camera, not a laptop, why can't HP look it up by the model number? It's not like they have different configurations.

in the description, it says v2.0....however i do not know how to actually test it. Im thinking it is the latest version of v1.4 and not actually v2.0. v2.0 is brand new to the market

Thanks for the tips. I ordered the VRDMC5 then went to ebay and searched for the DVS. Found five for sale-only three were new. I purchased on wiht Buy it Now option for $34.95. Am anxious to try both in combination.

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

I bought a battery for my brother's 6530 this past year. His used an 11.1V battery. That is, by far the most common voltage used by this model, though I do see ads for a 14.8V model. I have to assume there would be something to indicate which one yours uses either on the battery itself or certainly on the laptops info somewhere. I just ordered one from Amazon by using the Aspire 6530 model number. At the time I did not know about the higher voltage one, so had no problem. Not much help here I am afraid, but if there is no indication of battery voltage I, myself, would feel comfortable in ordering one of the 11.1V ones.

They do appear to be the new version (3.7). At first the connections seemed good on my charger for my V911. The removal of the batt from said charger however did not go so well. Still had one batt literally come apart in my hand (?) Buy em, but expect to lose at least one and don't use an old version charger. Good luck

Does anyone know if the v3 is what is being sold on Amazon? I have two and need a third and, thanks to a Christmas GC, I'd like to use Amazon but can't seem to see any description that helps me to make that call.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

Hi, I'm not the seller of the product but I did purchase the unit awhile back and can answer the portion of the question I know the answer for. The paperwork that came with the unit stated it was available in three different frequency channels so multiple units can be used in the same location to control different devices. As for being able to choose the specific channel, I am unsure if that is an option. I know when I ordered mine through Amazon, it did not give me that option but maybe by contacting the seller before it ships. One point I wanted to make you aware of, to help you avoid any potential issues like I encountered, and that is to save the original packaging for at least a couple/few weeks. I had one of these units years ago and it worked perfectly for many years however, I wasn't so lucky on the unit I ordered a few months ago. I plugged the item in and it worked fine so not expecting any issues I went ahead and threw out all of the packaging. The item worked fine for a couple of days, maybe a total of 3x switching on/off, but stopped working after that. I've tried batteries and all troubleshooting steps in the instructions but it no longer works and I was unable to return w/o the packaging. Anyway, just wanted to let you know my experience which I assume or at least hope that is not a typical matter, especially since my prior unit worked so well for many years. Hope this helps. Best Regards

I have model #DV409AEW/XAA and it worked perfectly. I'm really not sure about your model but if it does, I definitely recommend the time it takes for you to change it yourself. It took time to change it out but worth the savings of getting someone else to do it. Good luck and sorry I don't know about your model.

I just received mine this morning and I got a V3. I was worried that I would end up getting a V2 since DD-WRT can't work with it but I am going to install it tommorrow and give you the results :-D

The revision Amazon sells is voltage locked. If you buy used, it might have the older firmware with unlocked voltage. I recommend contacting the seller to determine the revision.

The unit I received was the "V1" version intended for overseas markets. The seller advised me that this was an error by their supplier and offered to have an "A" version shipped directly to me. Because I found an "A" version locally, I declined the offer and returned the unit. The seller was very helpful and had a good attitude, however.

I have a DV7, I think that the base is the same for most of them, the difference is probably in the configuration. Worst case scenario, it is from Amazon, so you can send it back.
