I just experience the "no boot-up problem". Tried memory, hd, bios batt, removed peripherals, no help. Called HP tech support for the second time and they're replacing the motherboard for free per extended 24 month warranty for this known problem. My thanks to you who posted the warrenty info. The first time I called they just said tuff, my machine is past the 1 year warranty. They didn't mention the extended period. Also, the warranty for HP starts the day the item leaves assembly, not the date of purchase. Mine expired 3 months after I bought it.
