hi.. try removing the battery... run it on AC power only... if this does not work.. try removing RAM (one at a time)... if still does not work.. replace and use RAM module known to work or better a new one. by the way, when you power ON, do you see the HDD LED blink?

i tried running it using the Ac power only , didnt work , and about the RAM , iam not so much of an expert and this is the first time i deal with a laptop so i donno where it is and about the HDD LED blink i donno what it is ?

hello there , iam still having this problem with the pc , and if the HDD LED blink is that when the screen blinks when the computer starts, then it is not workng cuz the screen doesnot blink at all . absolutely nothin happens with the screen , iam thinking this could be a power supply problem .

is this laptop yours? no offense, i am just asking because as per your reply you said you do not know where the RAM/memory is located and if this is not your personal property, any wrong move on your part can cause some more damage.

HDD LED blinking? that means there is a symbol of a harddrive in your laptop that lights up or blinks each time you use it. if you do not see this, and there is nothing on screen, i do not think there is still much more that you can do.

bring it to a repair shop for professional help

I had the same problem with my dv2415nr...i arranged a service and they change the motherboard...the company wrote: replacement of faulty motherboard. it's for free if you are in warranty

HP Dv2000 has that common problem with their motherboard (all lights are on but no video display) the only thing you can do is replace the motherboard. The weak thing about it is that HP only offices a one year warranty and most of the motherboard starts to fail at 16 months. Take a look at Ebay there are a bunch of dv2000 for sale with the same problem. The cost is around $300-450 to replace the motherboard maybe even more. DON’T BUY DV2000!!!!!!!
