i flashed the BIOS with the update from HP driver page about half an hour ago and still cant switch permanenty to AMD Radeon,on CPUz it shows as primary Intel HD graphics.
my old BIOS was F.32 and the current one is F.41 and it's still like the old one,can't do nothing from BIOS because it's locked.\
considering that i successfully installed the update(otherwise i would've not wrote this message from my g6) how can i switch from dynamic to fixed switchable graphics?!?!?!?!

BTW,the Configure Switchable Graphics Menu is still the same.
If it needs to reflash the BIOS again then i'd rather add 2gb of along side the factory installed 4gb(ram is the main factor that annoys me because i am left with 2.45gb out of 4gb),i dont wanna mess up the bios,i messed up before with another laptop and i had it 1 month at warranty.

PLEASE HELP ME!

one more thing,i dont have trouble with playing games,i played even battlefield 3 and now i am on Lineage2,i know how to switch the boards manually but if it's possible to have only the radeon permanently connected and the intel disabled.

Same problem here...still no answer from HP. I have the same video card (AMD Radeon HD 6470m) and i can't use it at all... Still waiting for a magic bios update.... I had 2 HP's notebooks before but i had no problems... Seems like g6 series are kindda fail...
