This problem only started a few days ago and its driving me up the wall!!! This laptop will be a year old in about 4 days so im very anxious to get it fixed. The problem is that it wont boot up! I hit the power button all the quicklaunch LEDs turn on, the fan turns on, and the cd drive works but nothing....a blank screen and i know its not the LCD because there is no hard drive activity. Now the weird part, if I turn it back off and remove the battery and run it of the A/C ONLY then it will boot up and i have a fully functional Dv2000. I cant figure it out!!!
Please help I do not want to resort to a system recovery :-(

Its most likely windows......Im just about ready to upgrade to vista ultimate so im not too worried anymore. Installing ultimate will erase my entire hard drive so it should fix the problem if its windows related. I will post here if the problem is fixed.
I did a critical update search on the Microsoft site for my XP, and so far none are there. I am confused whether its the battery or my Windows XP
The battery is probably toast. Take it with you to the store to test a new battery before purchasing one.

Thanks for the suggestion, I thought of that to but i just fixed the problem. Turns out it was just faulty vista updates as soon as I did a recovery of the critical updates FOOSH!!! The problem was gone!!
I have the same problem. When I removed my battery and was running on A/C power, everything was going smooth. However, I have Windows XP. Will I also have the same driver problems like Vista ones? Please I need some input on this, cause I been taking good care of my laptop
