**TriggerFinger** · 02-21-2008, 01:01 PM

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?

Nicostefan · 02-21-2008, 01:34 PM

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 ?

Nicostefan · 02-22-2008, 06:52 AM

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 .

**TriggerFinger** · 02-22-2008, 08:46 AM

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

Integra1994rs · 05-26-2008, 01:58 PM

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!!!!!!!

Carssson · 10-28-2008, 02:12 PM

I just had the same thing happen to me. It worked last night and when I turned it on this morning only the specialty lights were on and it won't start, no matter what I do. I HAVE to buy a motherboard? Great.
What if I have a really important video? Will it still be on my ram?

Carssson · 10-28-2008, 02:17 PM

Does anybody know what kind of motherboard I need to get? I want to get one cheap off ebay or something, I don't want to put too much money into this P.O.S.
... and again, will all my files and such be saved?

Steve Irbo · 11-03-2008, 04:06 AM

Have had the very same problem on the DV2000. The keyboard lights up, the hdd spins, the Dvd spins and then nothing! I think this is a component issue somewhere in the circuitry and it breaks at approx 14 months!

fsj · 11-03-2008, 06:57 AM

I've a Pavilion dv6000 for under 2 years and is experiencing similiar proble, switch on , blue lights on, but not light on cap or number locks... if this is a known default, should hp do something about it? so is the general view that a replacement motherboard is needed?

Carssson · 11-04-2008, 07:15 AM

Well, I'm over my 1 year warranty and HP said they would still replace my computer because of this problem. I had to wait on the phone 50 minutes and they wanted me to take out the HD and memory then stick it back in. Tell them you know it's the mother board and already did that crap. Anyways, they are sending me a box and it's all free.
dv2000 failed to load up

I had the same exact problem! I have the HP dv2000 too. Quite a while ago it started to not work well the same thing that you described happened. I realized it was the mother board and replaced it. becuase at the time HP wouldn't do anything for me.
But it worked for only a month and then started doing the same thing again. All the lights came on and nothing on the screen. Some months later when it wouldn't work at all again, I chated with the HP online support and by then they had a recall on my laptop and they offered to fix it for free. I just had to send it in and they would take care of it. I sent it in and I recieved it back. Now it works great! Hope you are can do the same Go to the HP official site and go the the online support for our model laptop.

timewilltell · 08-09-2009, 12:43 PM

Had the same problem today with my dv2200 not starting (motherboard graphics). I looked around and found a temporary fix. I turned on my laptop and sat it down on my couch and put pillows up against the vents. I let it sit there to heat up. About 30 mins later I heard a pop and the laptop turned off. I pushed the power button and my laptop started up like normal. I don't know how dangerous this can be, but it worked.
