Memory Module Page No: 97 of 258
NOTE: If you have more than one memory module, you should test them individually to determine if one or both of them are faulty. Insert each module separately, then turn on the notebook to determine if the inserted module is working. Once you have determined which memory module is faulty, you can replace the faulty module and reseat the working module.

Hard Drive Page No: 92 of 258

I believe that would be the battery I would get a new battery that should solve the problem. When you use office or surf the internet that does not require as much power as playing games and watching videos. Just buy a new battery and that should solve the problem

It will recognize the new drive if you were able to "migrate" your data from the old drive. If not, you can clean install by booting from an optical drive (changing your boot order at start-up) and using a new OS disk or your recovery disks. You might be able to perform a remote partition & format and install from one drive to the other with USB external enclosures for each drive and another computer (depending on the 100G drive's condition). I hope this helps.

when you have a bad hard drive it wont list in the bios! replace the hard drive

the video card on the mother board is no good. try a usb video card

If the screen is coming on but is dim, it can be an lcd or an inverter problem.

If your getting absolutely no video then you need to try a few things. Take out the battery and only hook up the ac adaptor and make sure the light is at least coming on the ac adaptor so you know for a fact the adaptor is working. Then take out the memory and reinsert each memory stick one at a time and after each stick reinsertion turn on the laptop and see if you get video.

If you don't then take out the hard drive then try again turning on the laptop and then finally take out dvd drive. If your still not geting video then the motherboard is definitely bad.

Same happening to me.

Best Solution
Hewlett Packard Pavilion 503w Memory Maximum Memory 2GB Memory Slots to 2 Slots. non-removable base memory 0MB Your HP Memory Pavilion 503w only supports modules made with a specific type of chip build. If you come across a website and find what seems to be the exact same memory for a lower price, it is likely that the cheaper memory will not work in your system.

use :1GB DDR2

have you recently loaded any new hardware or software to the system.  if so... this may be the source of the problem.  you would want to load in safe mode and remove whatever you changed.  that would then fix the problem.  i wouldn't jump to the conclusion that your operating system is corrupt just yet.  it sounds as though it is doing exactly what it should when it comes upon a conflict in the system.  

Bad hard drive or memory is bad
