I have an HP dv2000 laptop. Long story short it isn't working all of a sudden.(Duh, why else would I be here) Now for the long story. About 3 days ago my Vista laptop would freeze which it has never done. Just lock up and freeze all I could do was restart and that fixed the problem but it kept happening. Now all of a sudden yesterday it froze and when restarted all the lights (I.E. dvd buttons, wifi light, volume,power light etc etc) would be on as would the fan, yet the screen stayed black (not a backlight isue either) the entire thing was black. After a few restarts it would turn on. Later on it would need restarts and 5-30 minutes later it would do it again. I went to work came back after 8 hours it worked but froze again would not turn on. So I went to bed. I wake up today it still won't turn on. After checking it out 5 minutes ago it now does the same as before BUT NOT EVEN THE FAN IS RUNNING. I've done all the tricks taken out the battery blah blah blah still no go. HOW DO I FIX IT. btw no warranty left i checked that extended service page.

- ok from what im hearing it is the motherboard. thanks for the help guys, ill see where i can buy a replacement and put one in as soon as i got the money i got 1500 to put into my car first lol thnx for the help
Is the hard drive working? PC apparently booting but no screen? There are threads on this site specific to screen failure. NOTE: the SWITCH in the right-hand screen hinge can fail, resulting in a black screen.
It sounds like it could have a hard drive issue. However, there was also an issue with this notebook. You can call HP and recheck this warranty page even though you might have already done so: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&lc=en&cc=us
If you see a small blicking cursor in the top left and corner your hard drive failed. If your screen is pitch black and your not seeing anything you need a new motherboard.
A hard drive can cost as much as $69, a motherboard can cost as much as $249 of which both we can do at our service center. However, there should be several near your location.
